Mcintyre explained that Sher,
wood handled many matters for
the Blauvelt firm, including the
collection of fees.
do you know if any Of
Senator Blauvelt's accounts was
turned over to the Russell T.
Sherwood special acCOunt?"
"Yes, a few days prior to
Senator Blauvelt's death in
1924. The special account was
closed out and Sherwood opened
one under his name on the
same day the Blauvelt account
was closed out. That was in
October 1924"
The witness said the Sherwood
account opened with $4,000 and
he assumed" that since the
Sherwood special account was
opened with the Central Hanover
Trust Company, Sherwood con-
$inued to operate that account.
Efforts have been made by
Seabury to show that money de-
posted by Sherwood at the Cen
trial Hanover belonged to Mayor
Walker.
Charge GrOundless
Curtin turned to Governor
Roosevelt and asserted:
This shows that Sherwood
was not just a Small-time clerk
hut fhnf hn fiV1aHNoioV Innl
ingS with persons in all walks
of life and that he knew how
. to make money for himself.
This ought to be conclusive evil
dence to you, Governor, that
there is nothing in Seabury's
charge that Sherwood depOS-
tied S1,OOO,OOO for Mayor
Walker. This certainly shows
that it was SherwOOd's own
money"
Mcintyre also testified he had
''some stock transactions with
Sherwood"
Before Walker became mayor
of New York city he was as
ISOLATED with the frim of Blau-
welt and Warren, was he nOt?"
Yes"
"After Walker became mayor
do you know whether the firm
of Warren and Mcintyre Of
fered any facilities, or office
room, for his private affairS?"
Eyes, he was accorded every
facility he wanted"
Mcintyre said Sherwood termi-
mated his services with the firm OF
Warren and Mcintyre on March
30, 1881.
Walker Wins Point
Mcintyre said he last saw Sher-
wood in the latter part of August,
1881.
Have you heard from him
since?"
mo, neither directly nor indi-
rectly."
After Seabury had questioned
Mcintyre at length about his stock
transactions with Sherwood, the
witness was excused.
Governor Roosevelt asked Cur

tended to prove, and the mayors
attorney replied:
Il want to show the relation
ship that existed between Sher-
wood and George A. BlauveIt as
far back as 1921"
Samuel Seabury, the mayors &C
Cuser, objected, but the governor
permitted the records to be Of
fered in evidence.
Governor Roosevelt late today
will adjourn the hearing, which
has been in progress since
August II, until Monday night.
City FOOts Bill
The Seabury inquiry in New
York city cost the State $3.50, 900.
It is estimated the hearing be-
fore the governor already has
cost 100000 and will run
100000.
New York city will pay the
bulk of the cost of the removal
proceedings before the governor
regardless of whether Mayor
Walker wins or loses. The pub
lie officers act provides that the
municipality whose official is
investigated must foot the bill.
The stenographic report alone
of the Walker hearing has passed
the $4,000 mark and is steadily
mounting Added to this is the
payment of legal fees to Curtin
and his assistants.
