TReAsURER's BONDS MISSING.
A Theft by which the City OF Brooklyn
VIII Lose Thousands.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 15.-More sensational
developments in the COS, 900 shortage in the
county treasurer's office were brought to
light yesterday by the discovery that two
of the bonds of County Treasurer Harry
II. Adams are missing from the county
clerks office in Brooklyn. The bonds
were for 500 900 each. They are supposed
to have been stolen. There is a record of
one bond having been filed, but not the
other one The persons who signed the
missing document cannot be held respon-
sible for any portion of tho shortage, and
the county will lose between $25, 900 and
10000.
Mr. Adams has been treasurer OF Kings
county for four terms, having taken office
in 1888 At the beginning of each term he
had to give bonds The missing bonds be-
long to the seoond and third terms. 1t
was thought they were filed in the usual
manner in the office of the county clerk.
Of the bond of the second term there iR
not the slightest record in the Office There
is nothing to show that it ever was filed.
The bond Of the third term is recorded,
but the bond itself has disappeared. Is is
said that it may be possible to sue on this
record, but this Is an open question.
According to the experts who examined
Mr.. Adams accounts the shortage began
during his second term, and has continued
to increase ever since. The law does NOT
allow the present bondsmen to be sued for
shortages in other terms of office.
