important points in the case against Mr..
Rathbone ON which the latter's expected
arrest probably will be mainly based. In
this letter Mr.. Smith says:
at further shows that T.. G.. Rath-
hone, late director general of posts, drew
two warrants of $500 each, on which he
himself obtained the money, and that no
account or explanation has been rendered;
that lie appropriated per diem OF 80

been expressly prohibited by the post
master general, and that he incurred eX-
fravagant and unjustifable expenditures
of a personal character, making them
charge upon the postal revenue
Bristow's Report on Neely.
Concerning Neely's peculations Mr..
Bristuw said:
"Necly's fraudulent transactions, how
ever, were not confined to embezziements
only. Before going to Cuba Nicely was
engaged in the printing business in Mum
Gle. Ind, being the proprietor of the Nee
ly Printing company. He had a business
associate or employee named Cowan
Neely claims to have sold the plant to
,Cowan. Ncely sent this company large
orders for printing for the department
of pGgts of Cuba. The books of this
printing company show that Cowan re-
ceived from the department Of posts for
printing 81, ,J3T 60. while the bills rem
derci, marked paid, and the money or
der records at Muncie show that he re-
ccivcd $1G0G9.1 10, or 81, 1910 more than
Indicated by the books
"Neely, with salary of 81 500 or $loO
a month, was able during February,
March and April to deposit $l,S39.Io
which is conclusive proof that his em-
bezzlcmonts began in February, 1883
In May he deposited SS3l.2S; i'll June
$715.24; in July, S9t3; on Aug Il, Sl3'
1851: on Oct. q, S20,250 and number
of deposits of lesser amounts were mad'
aftcrward. The Kcylcss Lock COMPANY
of Indianapolis is corporation whlci
manufactures postOiiice furniture. lh'
department of posts purchased from thi'
company S14S79.25 worth of furniture
Necly seems to have been absolute il
the matter of purchases. This compan!
paid Neely $3,292 in checks. For wha
purpose this money was paid him doe
mot appear"
He continues: "Owing to blunder tn
special fund upon which salary warrant
were drawn was insufficient to meet tn
demands made upon it for the first hal
of .s.ly, 1899. Neely suggested that, a
there was an unexpended balance for tn
fiscal year ended June so, warrants b
drawn upon that fund for the paymen
of the half months salaries due, and afte
the funds for July were received wal
rants could be drawn and deposited, II
imbursing that fund for the amount
drawn. Such a proceeding was approx
ed by Rathbone, and warrants amoun
ing to ST. 81 were drawn and the ell
nloyees paid. Warrants for the purpos
of reimbursing this fund were also draw
but instead Of being deposited to rein
burse the fund they were cashed by Me-
ly, and no accounting was made OF Il
money"

Il challenge that statement. The

and is doing all that it can to suppress
the honest expression Of opin on in

1T is doing all it can against the
