ALL PRESIDENTS IN QUEENS
Bookkeeper Tells of Attitude Of
EMPLOYEES Under dresser.

How affairs were run in the Borough Hall
in Queens was told on the witness stand
by David ". Murphy, chief bookkeeper,
yesterday at the continuation Of the hear
ing into the charges against President
Gresser of Queens. During the course Of
the examination, when the thefts Of money
by means of bogus vouchers for the pur-
chase of postage stamps were brought into
the evidence, Samuel E. Ordway, special
commissioner. who is presiding at the hear
ings in Long Island City said:
LAS far as l am able TO form an opinion,
some evidence has been shown here OF i'm
proper conditions in Queens. Whether
President GresSer can be held responsible
for this condition l cannot decide until
hear further evidence. If 1t shall appear
in fact that there has been larceny of the
city's money ! would not consider that sub
ordinates We're the only ones responsible
for the peculations, but would deem their
superior also responsible"
Murphy was called yesterday as a wit
ness in support of the charges filed by a
committee of taxpayers. Murphy said that
when he became suspicious of certain ex-
pense accounts and $50 purchases of post
age stamps he took the expenses and
postage stamp vouchers to Joseph Sullivan.
/ L
demanded of that official that he attach his
| certif1cation to the sworn vouchers sub
mitted TO him by the persons making up
the Mills. He said he obtained a double
certifcation from Commissioner Sullivan
| before he would enter them.
| Murphy also testified that during the
| year 1903 Municipal Justice John NJ. Crasen,
who is now under indictment, was consid
cred boss of things in the Borough Hall.
He said Cragen was the presidents sec
rotary. The witness also said that he
complained TO the Borough President that
the Department Of Highways was vtolat-
ing the laws in issuing orders for work,
and that upon each occasion Gresser took
the Superintendent of Highways to task.
He said that for more than ten years
some Of the departments kept no books
at all. and n many instances II was neces-
Sary TO send to the Bureau of Finance in
Manhattan TO find out just what balances
were still credited to certain funds. He
said that the head of every department In
the borough considered himself borough
president and was practically responsible
to no one.

The fremen had barely got back to their
quarters when an alarm went In, al 4:0l

I-ot there they found a broken signal box
on the seventh fioor. After an investga
ton there Deputy chief Binns said
This is the second time within week
