CLEARY FINANCES
DECLARED MIXED
Prosecution To Be Sought
on Report of Control
ler's Inquiry.

From stan Correspondent of The Tribune)
Albany, April THE Indictment of
William V. Cleary, the Haverstraw
Town Clerk, recently acquitted of the
murder Of his son-in-law, Eugene New
man, is sought by officials under State
Controller Eugene Nj. Travis, as a re-
suit of an investigation into Haver-
straw's financial accounts. The Con-
troller says that glazing discrepancies
have been found
"The whereabouts Of Cleary since he
was set free are not known, but II is
believed he is stopping with relatives
in Brooklyn" said Mr.. Travis.
Other Haverstraw officials besides
Cleary may be involved in the investi-
CATION. An inquiry is now under way
into The conduct of District Attorney
Thomas Gagan of Rockland County,
who prosecuted Cleary at the murder
trial.
Deputy State Controller Warren /.
Lee and four of his municipal accounts
examiners have inspected the Haver-
straw financial accounts. They have
discovered that records for many years
past are missing. Members Of the
Town Board have told them that these
records were given to Cleary for de
post in the archives Of the Town Hall,
but they could not be found there.
Evidence that less than half of the
money paid out for the town poor was
used for that purpose was obtained
from Warren Basley, overseer of the
poor from 1910 to 1913. Basley testi-
fed that he has signed his name to
bank checks and turned them over TO
Cleary The amount withdrawn from
the bank on these checks, IT was
learned. was more than double the sum
given in the report Of the overseer OF
the poor to the superintendent Of the
poor. Basley admitted that he relied
upon Cleary, to whom he owed his ap-
pointment. 10 make out the reports.
At the National Bank Of Ilaverstraw,
where Cleary deposited his money. the
examiners found that the Town Clerk,
whose salary, obtained in fees, was
about $500 a year. had deposited more
than $4,000 in 1918. One surprising
feature was that each time he over
drew his account checks from Basley
arrived.
Josiah Felter. the supervisor, tes-
tilted that he filed with the town clerk
al records, including sums Of money
expended. but that he was unable 10
find any trace Of these records lie
said ,leary turned IN bills for claims
Of which ne never kept any account
and that they were paid without in
yestigation. lie testified that old
claims kept N coming in and that they
were paid promptly. lie admitted that
he had his doubts about these claims.
and he had a suspicion that money in
tended for the poor went into other
pockets.
Felter said he gave Basley letween
$4,000 and ST. 900 each year for the
poor. After Basley left office it cost
the town only about $1,000 year 70
support the poor. Tho supervisor said
the check stubs had been burned last
spring after he had made an account
ing TO Cleary.
The inquiry was conducted by
Deputy Controller Lee IN the room Of
the Town Hall where Cleary shot New
man. Both Felter and Basley have
signed waivers of immunity.

citizenship. Since many were not citl-
zens he urged that they obtain their
papers as soon as possible. At the
NeighborhOod Guild. Eldridge and Rlv-
ington Streets, he spoke to the l4Z men
winding bandages, in part, az follows:
MANY Of you are not yet cltlzens;
II is your duty to become citizens. and
you have no right to complain OF the
mistakes of government If you do not
grasp the opportunity. Become citizens
Of the United States and take part IN

The first shop visited was at Fifty
sixth Street and the North River.
There the greatest variety of work was
being done. The men dropped lead
soldiers and carved wooden toys TO

workroom Busy fingers soon resumed
their tasks of Gaming chair seats and

the processes.

Judge Gary tasted some coffee from

the Mayor did not indulge. Then the
party moved on to 395 Fourth Avenue.
Here was a place of an entirely diff
ferent character. The fourth floor is
known as an annex of the Julia Rich

tional training for about $50 women

place is simply to keep girls ALREADY
used to office work up to their level OF
efficiency and give them the oppor-
tunity. while waiting for new jobs, 70

of their calling. Miss Virginia Axe, IN
charge, told the Mayor that an average
of twenty girls were placed every week.
The next three flying stops were
made at the Diocesan House, 4l6 La
fayette Street, where 800 men were
busy on surgical dressings; the Neigh

a speech. and at 256 Mott Street. where
325 Italian women were sewing on chill
dren's garments. under the supervision
of Miss Charlotte Huey.
The stop at 27S East Broadway
proved the most interesting OF all, ana
there the party fingered longest, Tor
the building was filled with the babies
and children Of 800 women kept busy
there sewing. On the top floor the
Mayor found Miss Mcclure with
room full of babies in clothes baskets,
all asleep, till the heavy tramp started
a lusty chorus.
AT $50 Grand Street another stop
was made to see 200 men under Mrs.
f. Mande roll bandages, and IN the
Hamilton Fish Library, 1888 East Hous-
ton Street, Mrs. II. F. Zoble had l15
Italians busy weaving baskets and
mendng shoes.

Mayor Mitchell saw for himself yes
terday. He visited the cjty's emer-
gency workshops, where hundreds OF
the temporarily unemployed have been

trip gave him a vivid impression of
the results obtained by his committee

understand little English. and one
gateful mother told the Chief Execu-
