SENATOR DAILY LOSES 81, 700

Notwithstanding the efforts of the
friends of the late John Crevfer to
withhold from the public as much as
possible of the details of the real estate
dealers peculations, little by little the
facts are coming out, and before long
it is believed that his relatives will make
a clean breast of all of his wrongdoing,
in justice to those whose money he has
squandered.
There is now not a shadow of doubt
that the deceased has for more than
a year robbed those who had reposed
confidence in him. There are few who
have had recent financial dealings with
him who have not suffered.
SENATOR DALY'S LOSSES.
One of the heaviest individual losers
is Senator William D. DAILY. Although
the Senator himself has strenuously en-
deavored to keep the details secret, it
leaked out this morning that he was a
victim for something like s4,700.
Crevier had entire charge of Senator
Daly's Hoboken property, collected rents,
made repairs and managed the entire
business 1t was on November that
Creyier killed himself and two days
later the Senator sent clerk among
his tenants to collect rents Reports
made to him by Crevier had been to the
effect that his tenants were slow IN
paying. The clerk discovered that noa
only had all the tenants Crevier's re-
ceipts showing that they had paid up
TO date, but that in certain instances
repairs charged against the property nao
not been made. A clerk in the Senator's
Office said this morning that rentals col
lected by Crevier and reported as being
still due would aggregate 500, and thal
the Senator had become surety for MIN
in the matter of an estate to the extent
of $4,000. 1t is not known what estate
the young man referred to, but it IS
understood that Crevier was interested
in two and that he has bankrupted eotn.
THE WORST VICTIMS.
On Friday last Mrs. Crevier vacated
her handsome residence IN Verona, N.
J., which the family has occupied SO
many years. Whittier she has gone only
the executors of her husbands will seem
to know, and they refuse to state.
The office in Newark street is open at
intervals during the day. On Saturday,
about noon, a little Italian woman was
found crying and wringing her hands
Historically in front of the office. The
place was closed and policeman told
her to move along. She Went 10 Sen
ator Daly's law office and said that three
weeks ago she had loaned Crevier sl,6OO
| and taken his note. It was all the money
she had in the world, she said. and 1t
represented the savings of Life time
She wanted the Senator to endeavor to
recover some Of it for her. She became
hysterical when told that the Senator
himself was a loser and that there was
little hope of recovering even cent.
Senator Daly's clerk refused to give
the woman's name, but said she was a
poor widow with children dependent upon
her.
Three weeks ago the Second National
Bank discounted 5000 note for Gre
vier This was admitted at the bank and
it was added that it had a good endorser
and that the money was safe.
