yesterday in regard to the alleged
frauds in the sale of quartermasters
supplies, belonging to the government:
IL am the officer that is concerned
in this matter, but no one has yet made
any inquiry Of me. | am the only
bonded officer at the post. and the only
one accountable TO the dishursing Of

regular I would be pleased to give all
the assistance in my power In the

any. All the government things sold in
the pawnshops are sold by discharged
soldiers from the returning volunteer
regiments"
Col. ]. b. Rawles, artillery corps
post commander said:
"All this talk Of fraud is perfect rot.
People have been nagging for year
on the same subject. / have been
aware OF the soldiers selling their
clothing for a long time. one Of the
puzzling and perplexing things in
army management is TO keep the sol

mo one can say, IN view OF all that
has transpired within the past two
days. that frauds have not been going
on. Detective Reynolds reports to me
that the investigation has made a stir
among the second hand stores and
those who deal in the class Of goods
stolen from the army, and that those
who have not yet been visited by Col.
Maus are hurrying TO cover what gov.
ernment goods they have. The quaint.
ties which the Abrams were able to
supply their customers make IL seem
conclusive to my mind that there is
some one or more having access to the

time explaining away the evidence
