vestment OF these funds, and that al
least one man had an exceptional op.
portunity to profit by this laxness.
II have said that all the transactions
OF Judson. with the exception of one
were profitable. and it Is in examining
the evid ence concerning that particular
transaction that evidences Of crime are
disclosed. This transaction was the sale
OF S2,013,000 par value bonds OF the
city OF New York and the sale was CLOSED
at the Office OF the Empire Trust Com
pany on November 16, 1917.
These bonds were purchased from
w. S. Fanshawe & Co. acting as Jud-
sons broker, for s91s. The market rrice
on this date was so. These bonds had
been accumulated by Fanshawe in the
latter part of 1916 and IN January. 1917.
and cost much above SO. The sale In
November saved Judson about $4,000,
but the loss to the State WIS S140,910,
taking into consideration the market
price on that date.
1.-THE facts surrounding the negotia-
lions leading up to that sale were care
fully gone into by the District Attorney
and ample opportunity was given &c
all to explain the reason for 1t. The
testimony. however. is SO contradictory
and Witnesses have conlradicted them
selves and other witnesses to such an
extent that 1t is absolutely impossible
to establish any basis upon which the
existence of any moral obligation to
purchase the bonds can rest, and it Is
upon the existence OF n moral obligation
that the Comptroller attempts to justify
his action.
"Niade without Consuitation."
"'rhls purchase. so improbable to the
State. was made by the Comptroller
without consultation with the Attorney
General. his legal advisor. on his own
responsibility and without any justifica-
ton, he made this purchase. In which
s140e1o was unnecessarily lost to the
State.
This transaction of November, 1917.
is, in my opinion. @ violation OF Sections
1863 and 1854 Of the penal law by
Eugene NJ. Travis, the Comptroller of
the State. and I am prepared on the
presentation of the proper papers to
me to issue warrant for his appre-
hension.
ut has been urged by the District At
torney that there is sufficient evidence
to connect James A Wendell Deputy
Comptroller. as an accessory to this
crime / differ with him. The Comp
troller himself has taken upon his shout
ders full responsibility for the fixing of
prices In this and all other transactions.
THE other witnesses, parties to the
transactions. all testified that the sales
were made to the Comptroller and that
negotiations as to price Were carried on
with him and that the purchase price
was fixed by him. The only evidence
connecting Wendell with this transac-
ton and the other transactions in which
bonds were purchased by the Comp
troller are contradictions of the testi-
mony given here by Wendell and Travis
contradictions Of statements made ia
the District Attorney both under oath
and at a time prior to the holding of
this inquiry. / do not feel that these
Contradictions alone, in the absence of
other positive testimony tending to show
his connection. are sufficient to find that
there is probable cause to believe that
he has committed any crime"

Favored by the Comptroller.

Bonds sold TO the Comptroller by
Gibbons & Co. were mostly bonds OF
email cities and villages, and the par
value Of thesa bonds was s6.199.752
about 15h per cent. of the total bonds
purchased. These sales made by Glib
bons & Co. were made at a great profit
to themselves. This firm seemed to be
favored by the Comptroller. for they
frequently were able to have offers ac-
cepted by him when at about the same
time equally good or even better offers
were made by other bond dealers. and
these offers were not accepted by the
State. The profit in these transactions
to Gibbons & Co. was approximately 4
points.
1.-THE bonds sold to the Comptroller by
Albert L. Judson were mostly bonds
issued by the city of New York and,
with the exception OF one transactioh.
were all made at great profit to HIM
self. The total profit amounted to ap-
proximately sS95.141.45 and his sales
represented 1874 per cent. OF all the
bonds purchased.

agreement with the Comptroller TO pur-

market and before tho day of delivery
acquire those bonds Mt much lower
price than the Comptroller had agreed
to pay.
troller was unable to make purchases
at tho same scale OF prices that Judson
made. and thus save the State udson's
profit. for II has been testified to by
one of the witnesses that In nj least
two of these transactions of Judson's
IL was thought by the seller that these
bonds were being bought for the state

that tho Comptroller or anybody else
could have purchased the bonds on the

Council Orders T1oo More Street
Lights.
At the July meeting of City Council
last Wednesday evening, two addition
al electric lights were ordered placed
on New Jersey avenue, one at Mill
Road intersection and the other be-
tween that location and the one at the
New Road intersection. The ayes and
nays being called Messrs. Henry, Hack
EFT and Pitney voted in the affirmative,
while Chairman Elmer Bates and his
son Walter voted in the negative. Mr..
Henry claimed that extensive building
operations would soon be started in
that section and that placing the lights
there is a necessity, while Chairman
Bates opposed the motion on the
ground that it would be time enough
to provide the lights when actual
building improvements were under
way or had been made.
Approval was given the bill of
$737.40 for curbing laid in front of
several properties on New Jersey ave-
nue., north of Centre street. The work
was done by Contractors Clark & John

by the city.
The Clerk was instructed to prepare
bills for each property on which the
curbing had been laid, and to send
same to the several property owners,
requesting prompt payment.
