MORE DIRTY WORK.
The Ballots Were Also
Tempered With.
Deeper Grows the Mystery of the
Altered TaIly-Sheets From the
Eighth Precinct.

The Election Commissioners got to work
promptly a, 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
and for once Commissioner Smiley. who
was the caller, worked faithfully at the
canvass all day. By the way he went at it
ii looked as il he wanted TO get through with
the long drawn out canvass as quickly as
possible.
Commissioners OBrien, Smiley ana
burst were present when the investigation
into the scratched returns from tie Eighth
Precinct of the Thirty-second District COM
menced in the evening.
James T. McQuade. one OF the clerks in
the Tax Collectors Office, was wanted as
witness, but since the last meeting of the
commission for the same purpose he could
not be found 10 be served with summons
to appear. 1t was decided to have Nc
Quade before the commission on Tuesday
next II he can be found.
Leopold JentZ was called. He was a
Judge at the precinct polling place, and was
there when a messenger-bov came to the
booth at about o'clock in the morning with
a note addressed to him asking for the re-
turns.
He proceeded to make them up, and was
arrested by James McQuade, who was hang
ing about the booth at the time.
He did not know what the results Of the
canvass was, and put his signature TO the
tally sheets without knowing what he was
really signing. He was positive that it was
about 3 o'clock when the messenger boy
arrived.
John Considine, who was a clerk at the
precinct in question, testified that he was
present during the count OF the general bal
lots, and that it resulted in Buckley having
IS votes and Hoey 100
He put the ballots on string after they
were counted and tied them up in a bundle.
The sheets were laid out fiat and strung in
that manner.
The ballots as they were received by the
Registrar were brought out and through
breaks In the wrapper it was clearly seen
that the ballots were folded four or five
times, then put on string
John Stevens was the next witness He
was present in the booth when the ballots
were counted. and remembered that Buck
ley had IS votes and Hoey 100. and not
Buckley 10 and Hoey 167. as now appeared
In the tally sheet.
nj. L. OSullivan, the United States Su-
pervisor appointed by the Republican party
to watch that precinct, was called. lie
kept tally sheet of the count. and his evil
dence as 10 the results agreed with the
former witnesses.
Fred }. Manly, the mes senger who went
TO the booth and got the returns. was sworn.
HIS evidence was the same as given in his
affidavit before the Mayor few days ago.
lie was positive that 1t was o'clock
when he went to the booth with the note
given him by the two mysterious men for
the packages. He stated that the envelopes
were not out of his possession until be
handed them in at the Registrars Office.
L. casey, the Democratic Supervisor said
be assisted In making the package contain
ing the ballots. They were strung fat and
folded together so as to go into the envelope
provided Tor them.
The package now containing the ballots
purportlng to come from that precinct was
not as it WAS when he made it up. lie
thought 1t was about 3 O'clock when the
messenger came for them.
Attorney Cunie objected TO the board
canvassing the returns for the Assembly
from that precinct as the returns had been
signed by only five of the precinct officers.
1t required the signatures of majority
OF the board TO make complete returns and
he asked that the Board of Commissioners
secure the necessary mum Der OF signatures
to the returns before proceedingsto canvass
them.
Further hearing of the case was set for
Tuesday morning next
