LOOKING OVER LEDGERS
Former Treasurer William L. Mathues
Discovered in Office.
DETECTED BY CHIEF OF POLICE
One Of the Men Was Told to Be
Around "to Pull Off q
job"

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 13.-A sensa-
ton was caused here today by the discov-
cry that William L. Mathues of Delaware
county, former state treasurer, who figures
In the new capitol scandal was detected
looking over the books in the treasury de-
partment about II o'clock last night with
one Of the clerks of that department and a
political lieutenant Of Mathues from one of
the other departments. The discovery was
made by Patrick McGrann, who was chief
of police Of Chester when W. H. Barry, the
present state treasurer. was mayor of that
city, and who is now a clerk under Berry
in the treasury. McGrann said today
that last evening he heard John E. Scott q
clerk in the auditor generals department,
say to George P. Young. clerk in the
treasury who was originally appointed by
Mathues, that he should "be around to-
night, for we are going to pull off a job"
Stott was clerk in the treasury under
Mathues.
Told His Fellow Clerks.
McGrann communicated what he heard to
fellow clerks in the treasury. and they con-
cluded to watch the department. At IL
o'clock. McGrann says. he quietly entered
the main Office Of the treasury department.
and. according to his story, he found
Mathues porting over the ledgers and other
| records with Young and c. D. Willis of
Delaware county, clerk in the internal af-
fairs department, and political lieutenant
Of the former state treasurer. There was
no one else in the room, except Benjamin
P. Thompson, the aged night Waterman.
McGrann says the perspiration poured
from the face of Mathues, who had pres
ence of mind enough to offer him (Mc-
Grann) and his associates cigars and shake
hands with them. Mathues, Young and
Willis left the department soon after.
Berry Was Absent.
State Treasurer Berry was absent from
the city, and when Cashier Measly arrived
at the department today he Immediately
discharged Young. The probability is that
the night Waterman who permitted
Mathues to enter and look over the books
will also be dismissed
| Mathues came here yesterday to testify
before the capitol investigating commits
sion but he will not be called before next
week. Mathues' version of the story is that
he and Willis walked toward the capitol
| and met Young in the capitol grounds. In
the course of conversation they strolled
leisurely into the treasury department. In
he asked young the character of the work
he was doing under Treasurer Berry.
Young tried to tell him in a general way,
and finally to give Mathues an idea of his
clerical duties he took down the ledgers
and some books in which important pay
| ments are recorded and laid them before
Mathues and Willis. The inspection was
being made when McGrann and his asso-
ciateS appeared on~the scene.
All the books Of the treasury have been
Carefully gone over by the auditors of the
capitol investigation committee for the past
three months
