PULLING OVER A DEFICIT
Efforts of the Detectives to Discover Hawkins
Missing Funds.
The Sum of S5S9.5S Which Figuring
Cannot Restore to the Safe
Developments Expected.

What has become of the $5S9.5S which
Hawkins stole and is unable to definitely
account for?
That is the question which is bothering
the detective department. Figures do not
lie and after all deductions are made the
amount named above cannot be found.
Hawkins took $S,915.13 out of the big SAFE
OF that amount the sum Of $S.33S was
found on him. This left a balance of
$637.13 missing. The expenses incurred by
Hawkins in his fight foot up according to
his own statement. $47.55 He was not ex-
travagant in his purchases as the following
list Of articles bought and expenses in
CURED, furnished by him. demonstrates:
Trunk purchased In Canada, 81; satchel,
$50; smoking jacket, $275; satchel, 81;
socks, 20 cents; shirts, $1.JO; underwear,
81; ticket to Niagara Falls, $40; ticket to
Philadeiphia, 81: doctc-. 81: boarding house
bill, S.: watch repairing, 81; hat, 81; col
lars and cuffs. $3.50. and neckties, 70 cents.
Hawking Statement.
In his statement to the detective Of the
amount disposed Of he included 800 which
he claimed to have left with his wife, He
said he may have left more, but he was
quite positive it aggregated not less than
500. And 1t r.ust be said in justice to
Hawkins that he did not tell this with a
view to duplicating his wife. He was care
fui each time TO say she was totally ignor-
ant Of what he had done. and did not know
where the money came from. He was
figuring to account for the difference be-
tween the amount taken and that found
on him. He made his own calculations,
and The Star reporter, who was near him
at the time, recalls how particular he was
not to incriminate his wife.
Concluding his estimate he asked for the
collector. When the latter arrived, Haw-
kills told him Of the amount he left with
his wife, and said. Voluntarily:
"Give me a piece of paper, Mr. Davis,
and Will write you an order on her for
the amount"
Suitirg the action to the word he wrote
such an order, authorizing his wife to turn
over to the collector every cent over and
above the $35 which he thought he gave
FER as part OF his salary, and which as
he afterwards found must have got mixed
with the other money.
Collector HaA an Interview.
Yesterday afternoon Collector Davis, &C.
companied by Detective Heian, visited Mrs
Hawkins. Before any one spoke she said
she must decline to talk except in the pres
ence of her attorney. Mr.. Davis presented
the order which Hawkins had given him,
but she paid no atteL ton to 1t, adding she
had no money, and that her husband had
not given her any. Beyond this she would
say nothing, and the detective and Mr..
Davis returned to the office.
1t is understood the detectives are in
possession Of information which will settle
a good many complications when the time
comes for development.

The report states that the improvements

during the last fiscal year have been, the
report says. equal to, If not greater. than
reported in 1896 while those using the
baths have seemed to be more severely
afflicted or in a more advanced state Of

Health Would Break Down.
A special to the New York Herald from
Ricnfield Springs. N. Y, says: Richard
Croker has made up his mind about the
mayoralty. and he will not take 1t this
time.
Mr.. Croker had not intended that the fact
should become public until he returned TO
New York after his vacation here, and had
made known the abandonment OF his inten-
ton to certain close friends. He has thought
il over with great care.
He would like to be mayor, and believes
he could be elected. Many friends have
told him he could be elected, but the old
doubt about his health has come up again,
ana Mr.. Croker has decided that the CAM
paign and duties OF office would break him
down in a short time, so he has ruled him.
self on the track.
Mr. Croker is now going to try to name
the candidate for mayor without the help
of any Of the other important leaders In
Tammany Hall. He will try to do so with
out going into the executive committee,
where the slate would ordinarily be made,
and will have 1t come about through a
stampede on the floor of the convention.
