exactly twenty.six cents. This assrr'
ton can BE- verified by comparing TIE
figures here given with the records OF
the Farmers' Bank Of Dover and the
First National Bank of Dover.
Another significant and important
fact in this connection is that the 'hlla
delphia National Bank demanded and
received a special report upon each ana
every one Of Col. Coopers large checks.
Exactly what Col. Cooper. did with so
much Of the plunder credited to him on
the books OF Messrs. Cuthbert 4 Co., II
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 cheeks. Such tracing will
show that the sums named in these
checks and the dates thereon were part
Of the stealings Of Mr.. Boggs on the par
ticnlar days named.

AZ to Coz. Cooper lending Mr.. B"ggs
worthless cheeks this paper has nothing
to say.
This newspaper never asserted hat

Mr.. Walter Morris, cashier Of the
Farmers Bank, of Dover, has the mem
oandums Of these checks, all of whicl
passed through his bank in the "ruinar,
legitimate routine of business.
With these figures Mr.. Morris dat;
