 the ROtunda.
WHAT WILL IT RESULT IN7
City Officials Will Anxiously Watch the Case for Startling Devel-
 Opnents.

The Grand Jury has a case on hand based on section 2 of the statutes, lS71-2, act 951. which will without doubt cause them an amount of worry even though the case presented results only In the reprimanding of one individual. For weeks past there has been @ dis turbance in the air and questions have been asked as to what was the trou- Die, but no information was forthcom- ing. Now it Is learned that John G. Maloney, living at 4105 California street, has preferred charges against County Recorder Glynn, and he bases his charges on the above sections.
 For the past few months Maloney has worked in the Recorders office and claims that he knows what he is about and his statement is believed by his brother workers. Although Maloney was dismissed from the local police force for having bitten off an ear be- longing to an officer by the name of Field, his statement is not weakened thereby. At any rate the charges have been sent to the Grand Jury and ac- ton will be taken at the next meet ing.
 MT. Maloney said last evening: "I first preferred charges against the Re- corder in written statement to the Mayor, James D. Phelan, but receiving no satisfactory reply l concluded that l would speak in a place where I would at least be heard. Accordingly I mo- tifted the Grand Jury of many actions or MT. Glynn. and I think an action will be taken which will not result fayorably to the man l believe is guilty of mis- conduct.
 T went to the Recorders office three years ago and have seen many things which have made me suspicious regarding the honesty of the Recorder Each month our warrants are put in and many times we have discovered that an amount over what we have called for has been placed before us After a time we discovered that our warrants had been overdrawn and that the amounts went into the hands of the Recorder.
 Tt was also seen that there were a few pets in the office who received much more than should have been given. For instance, Clark got s54 for four days work, as did Harrison S56 Zimmerman s57, and Silvey S57, for foul days work. l am under the impress sion that the employees did not receive the whole amount which they ha6
 
 fact that the Recorder has signed war rants which he knew were not correct and l will give him a chance to prove that I am wrong.
 He has also taken money from us presumably for his own use, by askine us for a donation toward the makine of the boulevard. The amount re. ceived would figure up about S400. but we see nothing of it, nor even an ac. acknowledgement that we have given the money. When our warrants are raised we get the sum due us and some one who is in the office gets the rest through the broker, Kampe, who is connected with the Grand Jury. I an under the impression that that is one reason why we cannot procure justice in this matter.
 'Cooney, who is related to the Re. corder, has finger in the pie. accord. Ing to my information. and I am anx. fous to see where it will all end. The employees gave up about s400 to helr fight the election in behalf of Glynn but after it was declared no contest by the Supreme Court we never received cent of our money Some interestins facts will pop at the next meeting o1 the Grand Jury, and I believe Glynr IS aware of the fact. base my charge: on the code which states that Every of. hcer of the State or any county, city or township therein who keeps or re. tains any part or portion of the salary or fee allowed by law to his deputy clerk. or subordinate officer, Is guilty or felony and I claim that raisfne warrants and otherwise keeping what by law belongs to his subordinates Is z violation of the code.''
