"Since came here last week tn,
prisoners have been well behaved" h,
asserted.
Evidence that the Board of Pardon,
was aware of the violations OF tn,
prison law committed by Mccormick il
permitting Sullivan to drive an auto
mobile outside of the jurisdiction Of
the county has been obtained by Dis
trict Attorney Cropsey of Kings Coun
~, whose grand jury investigation Of
Sullivan's alleged illegal bushes;
transactions since his commitment tC
Sing Sing will be continued this morn
ing.
The most startling bit Of evidence
that Mr.. Cropsey obtained yesterday
was that members OF the Board OF
/ Parole rode in an automobile driven By
/ Sullivan from Sing Sing to Harmon
where they took train to Albany, anc
on another occasion to New York, to
| the Grand Central Station.
Superintendent Riley is chairman eH
officio of the Board of Parole. He was
/ in the car which Sullivan drove, and
was aware of the status of the chauf.
feur, it is said, before he was asked
by the Governor TO investigate the Sui
l AANbAA ~ ~ iANStos
Board of Parole Jaunt.
The other members of the Board OF
/ Parole are Henry J. McCann, OF
Albany, one of "Packy" McCabe':
friends, and William Townsend, OF
Utica. For their part in permitting
Sullivan the opportunity to escape OF
transact business detrimental to the
interests of the Union Bank deposition:
il is said that their removal from the
Parole Board will be demanded, with
that of the superintendent of Prisons
/ Sullivan, il has been learned by AS
sistant District Attorney Goldsteln, on
one occasion at least was In McCor'
mick's automobile when a trip was
made outside of the state. Shortly
after Mccormick purchased the motor
car he went on a trip that lasted sew
eral days-almost week, It is re-
ported. On that occasion Sullivan ac-
companied the warden, riding both as
a passenger and as chauffeur wnen
Mccormick tired Of driving
1t will be contended by the Union
Bank depositors in their petition to-
day TO the Governor that Superintend-
ent Riley was aware of the 10y rides
enjoyed by Sullivan and made no pro
test to Warden Mccormick. 1t cannot
be denied by him, depositors asserted
that he actually knew Sullivan wa;
permitted to go outside of Westchestei
County. for Riley is said TO have beer
in the car when the Parole Board was
driven to Manhattan to take the tran
for Albany. That, il is contended
would prove just grounds for the Gov
ernor's ordering a special inquiry.

tending to establish Sullivan's ALLEGED
larceny of Union Bank assets while
fguratively behind the bars, has hac
