ATLANTIC FRAUDS
Probe Committee Counsel Acs
cuses Officers With Abetting
Challenge=B0ok Theft.
Especial to the Newark star.l

ATLANTIC CITY. March 31.-S. e.
Hinkle, counsel for the Assembly probe
committee. this morning made accusa-
the police aided and abetted i'll the
work of stealing challenge books from
Democratic challengers on election da5
in November, and asked the chief If
he could, with the facilities at his
command, find out who those men
were.
The chief replied that he kept no
record of details made for a single day,
but could simply ask each man when
they reported this afternoon who was
in the places where challenge books
were stolen. He said he could not
guarantee to Mr.. Hinkle the informa-
ton he desired.
In the testimony of John C. Muldoon.
a Democratic election officer, who, in
cidentaIly. had to be dragged before the
committee after he had been arrested
last EEK by Mr.. Macksey, is to r, be-
lieved. there was some slight-of-hand
work done when the vouchers and affi-
davits were placed In the ballot-box

up. He said that all vouchers and afti-
davits were signed by Robert Johnston,
a Republican election officer, and
handed to him. When the vouchers
were taken from the box today 1t was
found the jurat was signed in almost
every instance by Joseph Showers. who
was one of the clerks of the election
board. Muldoon said he had never seen
those vouchers before.
Additional effort was made by Mr..
Hinkle today to learn what had become
of the vouchers and affidavits that
could not be found when the polls
closed in the Fourth precinct of the
Third ward.
Effort was made to show that Lewis
Mathis, clerk In h office of the city
comptroller, had handled money on
election day. but Mathis, when called
to the stand, denied he had any money.
except his own, and that he did not
buy or offer to buy a vote.
Arthur H. Heenan, who has been do
ing some detective work for Mr.. Hinkle,
said he saw Mathis give Jennings
something On election day, but he could
not say w ether or not it was money.
There seems to be a pretty fair pros
pect now that the committee will end
its work of investigation next week.
They are simply going over old grounds
now and by witnesses endeavoring to
prove many things which have been
previously charged by previous wit
nessess
