TREASURY
LOOTED


to pay even the police force for the
month of June.
DR.. Leedom is said TO have admitted
before he went away on Saturday that
he was short 5000 of the funds of the
Excise Board, of which he was a mem
Der. This discovery was brought about
accidentally by an examination of the
deposits of the Excise Board in the
Bordentown Banking Company, when
1t was shown that instead of depositing
to their credit $4,000 he had only put
$3.50 of the money in bank, Explana-
lions given by DR.. Leedom concerning
this transaction were sufficient to dis
arm suspicion against him until it was
discovered that Joseph w. Higgins and
e. q. Buzby. to whom small warrants
were due, were unable to get them from
the City Treasurer, who repeatedly
put them off with the statements that
the city had no money in bank to pay
them.
The surprised claimants brought the
matter before the finance committee,
which started an investigation. So soon
as the inquiry began DIR. Leedom disap-
peared.
At last nights meeting of the Council
Lawyer John Atkins and Lawyer Har-
old B. Wells appeared to look after the
interests of the missing officials wife.
A report signed by the finance commit
tee was adopted. declaring the office Of
Treasurer n Collector vacant and m
ploying an expert accountant to ex-
anime the books. These, however, can
not be found.
When the absence of the books was
made known the Council agreed to sus-
pend further action. Mr.. Atkins, coun-
sci for DR.. Leedom, agreed that the
books. a statement from the treasurer.
and perhaps the treasurer himself, or a
certified check for any shortage prova-
BILE against him, would be produced at
a meeting of the Council next Tuesday
night.
Members of the finance committee
state that even in the absence of the
books they were able to ascertain that
the shortage in the treasurer's accounts
will amount to over $4,000, that the
city has S4,751.74 claims due and out
standing against it. and that there is
but 1854 left in bank by the audit OF
the city.
Lawyer Atkins, for DR.. Leedom, in
appearing before the Council last night
stated that his client was in a New
York hospital suffering from nervous
prostration, and that he was SO dan
gerously i'll a conference with his client
had not been attempted. He refused tc
tell the members of Council definitely
where Leedom was, stating that he die
so on his privilege as an attorney ant
because he knew a warrant had al.
ready been issued here for the missin;
mans arrest. and that the service q
the warrant would surely result in hi
clients death.
The resignation of the missing officia
and a satisfactory settlement from hin
on Tuesday next were promised b.

MAN STABBED MAY LIVE;
FUGITIVE NOT CAUGHT.

Central office detectives, and several
men in plain clothes of the Fourth Pre-
cinct, are making a systematic search
for the Sicilian who stabbed John
C~lanton, a negro, in front of a new
building in Rutgers street late yester-
day afternoon, as told in the Sporting
Edition of the EVENING STAR.
While it was believed until a late
hour last night that Clanton, who is in
the City Hospital, would not recover,
his condition has improved so much
that he may survive unless complica-
ions develop.
The Sicilian and negro were both en-
ployed in the construction of the new
building and were engaged piling up
brick in the street when they got into
a wrangle, and before the other man
knew it the white whipped a knife out
of his pocket and stabbed the negro in
the upper part of the chest.
The stabber ran away as Don as he
saw the negro fall. with blood squirting
from a gaping wound.
Plain-clothesman Kaas was near
Rutgers street about the time h stab
bling took place, and, seeing a crowd,
tried to learn the name of the mar who
did the %stabbing, but all he could learn
was that the Sicilian was known to the
contractor who was doing the work as
mo. g." The police early this after
noon had not learned his name.
Prosecutor Young has detailed one Of
his sleuths to assist the police IN their
search for the would-be murderer.
