LEEDOM NOT BLAMELESS.
The Sergeant-at-Arms Very Criminally
negligent in Official Duties.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE Evening Star
says: The developments in the case of the
shortage in the sergeant-at-arms' office of
the house, while they do not fix dishonesty
upon anybody but Silcott, show an as
founding looseness in the financial trans
actions throughout that Office. There
seems to have been very little regard for
fine points of propriety. As the testimony
appears to members of the committee
making the investigation Mr. Leedom
simply neglected the affairs of his office,
leaving everything to Silcott. 1t appears
That some of the members were IN the
habit of discounting their notes on
their salaries before they were due and
that some members had overdrawn their
accounts. As far as Mr. Leedom himself
is concerned the evidence before the COM
mttee indicated that he neglected to
count his cash and attend to the financial
affairs of the office. Members of the house
crticise him for this and for the alleged
fact that he discounted members notes
out of the public money, and the thing
that they condemn HIM for Is, as they say,
he was perfectly aware of the bad habits
Of Silcoit aud yet trusted him IN the face
Of this knowledge.
Mr.. Leedom and Mr.. Silcott were both
fond of attending the races and betting;
therefore Leedom knew of this habit of his
cashier and it is alleged he knew Sllcott
was leading fast life in ether respeC Y.
This was known, of course. to a number of
members, also, a, the habit of discount
ing notes appears TO have grown out OF the
pace ut which members of congress were
going to some extent, II is thought, IN COM
pany with Mr.. Silcott The moral atmos-
phere Within the circles. of intimate asso-
citation with the sergeant-at-arms' office
does not appear 10 have been clear. While
the thirty-tive notes referred TO some days
ago are alleged TO have been forgeries.
there are lot of notes In
the safe of the sergeant-at-arms
which are genuine and this loose discount
business appears TO have been going on for
years
On the subject Mr.. Leedom states that
the discounting during the session of con-
gress was done with his own money or
with pirate moneys deposited with him.
not out of the public funds, and that when
congress was not in session the discounts
were negotiated with banks AS to the
prese, ce of che OK of $1,000 of his there
against deposit of less than 500 which
the report refers TO, he says thai he kept
an account there and that 1t was an
overdraft such as might occur IN
a bank. Ii appears from the
books of the sergeant-at-arms that Mr..
Adams, who Is chairman of the investlga-
ton committee, had overdrawn his &C
count to the amount of so; that ex-Speah-
er Carlisle had overdrawu his account TO
the amount of S4l6: that Mr.. Reed has
overdrawu his account to the amount Of
s.. 9S4. Other overdrafts are: Cheatham
800: Cochran 81; ForHsan 81 10; Clifford 30;
Heard s3i6: Houk 1913; Lee 81; and Splno-
