got any money of their own and VINO
know enough to divide with the proper
people.
And in this connection here IS
book promoter, Il. S. Peale, a gentle.
man who gets out large editions OF
books and sells them on the instalment
plan. He wanted to get out large
edition of an encyclopedia. What ana
he do? lie got an introduction 10 j.

Company. Of Albany, and lunched win

MIR. Sullivan, of the Union Bank-Sulli-
van is now in Jail for robbins the de-
positors and they 60 up to Albany
and Mr. Lyon and Mr.. Sullivan 90 10
the Controllers Office.
"Mr. Glynn is Controlier. What hap
pened? After Mr.. Sullivan Is taken
TO Albany by Mr.. Peale's representa-
tive. and introduced 10 Mr.. Lyon, the
printer, and then TO the Controller, Mr..
Glynn, Mr.. Sullivan's bank begins 10
get money. Shortly after MIR. Sulli-
vans last interview with Mr.. Glynn on
this subject, state deposits are gwen
TO the Union Bank, a grand total oil
$685. 900.
"On March 10. 1907 four days after
the first deposit of $4,000 loan was
put through the Union Bank for go.
600 for the international Society, OF
which Mv. Peale was president. mat
is what he called his encyclopedia com
nany-the International Americana So
ciety. lie gets the states money Tor
Mr.. Sullivan and then he borrows S2o,-
600 on no security, and he gives the
printing Of his encyclopedia to the o.
b. Lyon company at their own price.
Mr.. Hennessy then related how when
more Of the states money was de-
posited in the Union Bank, Sullivan
lent Peale another $4,000, again with
out any security whatever. And sum-
ming up his charges before the Brook
lyn audience, all Of whom we're IA
miliar with some of the Union Bank
scandals, but had never heard OF TINS
particular deal, Mr.. Hennessy said:
"The international Society was in
corporated just before this money was
given by Mr.. Glynn to the Union Bank
and in December, 1907, while these
loans. without collateral, were in the
hands Of Mr.. Peale, his own balance IN
the Union Bank was 81 %. So when
the Union Bank closed its doors, Mr.
Peale had 50 % in the bank on de-
post, but $4,000 obtained on the
notes of the International Society ana
the Americana Company
Nearly six weeks have passed since
Nr. Hennessy made these charges con-
corning David 4. Sullivan and Cover
nor Glynn, and no one has denied
them.
Many people are asking themselves
and asking each other If there Is any
between the country gentle
man style in which David A. Sullivan
lived since d Tammany warden in the
person of Thomas J. Mccormick sue
ceeded James NJ Clancy, an anti-Tam
many warden, and the relationship that
existed between Governor Glynn when
he was Controller and Convict Sulli-
van, wher he was a banker.
Has 100000 Sailed.
Whatever may be the surmises OF
those interested in the latest Sing Sing
scandal those who are not on the IN
side Of things the explanation OF War
den Mccormick as 10 why he permitted
Sullivan to run around in his high
touring car wherever Sulll-
vans fancy led him, or, as some say,
his business, is amusing, but not alto
yether explanatory. Said Warden Nc
Cormick under oath Thursday:
81 selected Sullivan for my chauffeur
because he looked like a gentleman.
That was my only reason"
Now that would, Of course, or rather
should, preclude any idea on the part
IF a suspicious public that Sulllvan's
Jog" rides while he was supposedly a
prisoner al hard labor were the result /
Of his possession OF wealth.
For while the depositors Of the Union /
Bank are ciamOring for a cent or 50
,n each dollar they deposited, Sullivan |
s credited with having sailed away at
least 81 100000. and some put il at
10000 "The New York Sum-" which
Is openly supporting Governor Glynn
and the rest of "Mr. Murphy's hand /
picked ticket" in its issue of June 10
luotes an official of the State Banking
Department as having said that Sulli-
van had sailed down 100000 where
be "can get il on his release"
McCormick's own bankruptcy is
matter of interest in this latest scan
ial, which so far has cost McCormick his
job, because of the story he told under
oath concerning the purchase Of the
car This story, however, was not cred
tied by Governor Glynn's own inyesti-
gator, Stephen c. Baldwin.
Until Mccormick told his story
everybody concerned in the investiga-
ton, men like District Attorney Crop
sey Of Brooklyn, who started the in
auiry after The Tribune exposed the
affair, believed that Sullivan had parted
with part Of his wealth when he began
to run around Westchester and glad
aned the Great White Way with his
presence.
That Sullivan did buy the car. and
not Mccormick, is still believed by
many. But Mccormick, while not con-
all who heard him, said that he
bought the car with borrowed money.
And who gave Mccormick the $4,000?
A good friend known as Michael }.
Lally, a Yonkers saloonkeeper.
Yonkers Immediately suggests
Michael j. Walsh. former Mayor of
Yonkers and Democratic leader of
County, in which Sing
Sing is situated. Walsh it was, who,
with "Packy" McCabe, swung the nee
essary number of Tammany votes the
day Governor Sulzer was impeached,
and thus made the impeachment posi-
bic.
And Walsh it is, who, with Charles
/. Murphy. "Packy" McCabe and Will
lam II. Fitzpatrick forms the trium-
virate who run the Tamm2uy machine.
In addition, Walsh is Deputy Controller
OF the state, but in truth the actual
head of the Controllers Department,
