 Back was indicted by the Broome county grand jury in August. 1907. on eight charges of forgery and grand larceny. His occupancy of these of- Aces gave him control of the work of building roads on which Broome coun- ty embarked on a generous scale in 1908 and as a result Back built up a powerful political machine and is all legged to have attempted to over throw George W. Dunne as a member of the State Republican Committee.
 After an investigation by District Attorney Clark and State Comptroller Glynn the latter reported that Back had "usurped the prerogatives of the board of supervisors and with the aid of complacent county treasurer. had absolute control of the county treas ury."
 Mir. Glynn also stated that s500.0o0 had been dispensed from the Broome county treasury on the sole, order and audit of Back and that of this amount slo6,sos was paid directly by them. Back subsequently, resigned as clerk of the board of supervisors.
