exactly twenty.siX cents. This asser.
ton can be verified by comparing Il e
figures here given with the records of
tie Farmers Bank Of Dover and the
First National Bank Of Dover.
Another significant and important
fact in this connection is that the Phila
deIphia National Bank demanded and
received special report upon ca, h and
every one of Col. Cooper's large checks.
Exactly what Col. Cooper did with 50
much OF the plumber credited to him ON
the books of Messrs. Cuthbert 4 Co., is
shown by the annexed book accounts.
ANY expert accountant can take these
figures and the records Of the two Dover
banks and trace every one OF these
worthless checks. Such tracing will
show that the sums named in these
checks and the dates thereon were part
of the stealings of MIR. Boggs on the par
ticnlar days named.
Col. Cooper has confessed that he knew
where Mr. Boggs was the night before his
flight. He was with Col. Cooper, Mr..
Cotter and Mr.. Collins.
Col. Cooper has confessed that he
loaned Mr. Boggs worthless checks
which were used by Mr.. Bogps in the
plundering OF the First National Bank.
Col. Cooper will also confess. no doubt,
that he went to New York and to lewes
seeking a sailing vessel to carry Mr..
Boggs out of the United States.
Col. Cooper will also confess that he
hought and paid for the ticket that car
ried Mr.. Boggs to New Orleans and that
he Cooper was the last man to shake
him (Boggs) by the hand the night he
Boggs) fled the State of Delaware.
AZ to Col. Cooper lending Mr.. B"ggs
worthless checks this paper has nothing
to say.
This newspaper never asserted that
Col. Cooper loaned Mr.. Boggs worthless
checks.
The charge made before and the charge
now made is that Col. Cooper drew
checks amounting to upwards OF Sll.5W
on the First National Bank OF Dover,
Delaware, said checks being worthless at
| the time of issuance.
These checks were paid by William \.
! Roggs with money stolen from the First
Nantional Bank Of Dover. Delaware.
The proceeds of these checks were
credited to Col. CoopcrS account with
Mcssrs L. i. Cuthbcrt x Co., Bankers
No. 80 Broad street. New York.
In other words William n Roggs stole
upwards Of $1,000 which Coz. +. T..
Cooper lost thought speculation.
There is no lending OF checks about
this.
This is stealing pure and simple.
| The dates ON these checks are here
given.
The amounts are correctly stated.
The stocks bought and sold are named.
The transactions in cotton. whisky,
sugar and wheat are set forth.
The gains and losses are shown.
William y. Boggs stole upwards OF
ST. 800. and these accounts prov" t hat
Col. f. r. Cooper lost it in speculation.
1t will not cost the officers Of the First
National Bank one dollar to trace these
transactions.
Mr.. Walter Morris, cashier Of the
Farmers Bank. OF Dover. has the mem
orandums of these checks. all of which
passed through his bank in the ordinar!
legitimate routine Of business.
With these figures Mr.. Morris dat;
and the books of the First National Bank
any expert accountant can show to tht
satisfaction nf any court that Col. f. +
Cooper aided and abcttcd William \
Roggs in the robbery Of the First Ma
,ional Bank Of Dover. Delaware, within
the meaning Of tn" law.
Here are the days and the dates.
Here are the facts and the figures
1t will be noted that this journal ha'
now accounted for over "nc-third oi tho
entire sum stolen by Mr.. Boggs.
Next Monday THE SrS will publisl
more facts, more figures and more de
tails.
