Sd day of July, 1881. the said Kelly obtained from sad city the sum of $765, which was charged to an &C., count on the books of said city designated as Street Lighting" Said above mentioned contract ex- pired in June, 1882, and in May, 1892. the said Kelly delivered to said Levy and to said George Browning, Inc, check of said city payable at the Citizens & Manufac- turers National Bank of said Water bury, issued and signed by said Leary in form and manner as above described, in the sum of $4,200, which said check was thereupon en- dorsed by said Edward G. Levy and the said George Browning, Inc. Immediately thereafter, the said Kelly and the said Levy received from said Olsen in the office of said Mayor in exchange for said check the sum of $4,z00 in currency, brought there by the said Olsen who was then and there an officer of The Waterbury Trust Company. Of said amount, the said Levy retained $1,- 900, the said Browning received $1,000 and the remainder thereof, to wit, $2,200, was retained by said Kelly for himself and others. All of said checks as aforesaid were typed and issued in the office of said Leary in the manner and form aforesaid, were unnumbered when issued, the payment thereof was never approved by the Board of Finance of said City of Waterbury as required by its charter, and by the direction of said Hayes, Leary, Kelly, Borgnaes and Dunn said bills were not recorded on said warrants payable register sheets when presented to the Board of Finance for it's approval and were entered thereon after the members thereof had affixed their signatures to said sheets, thereby giving to said payments the appearance of ap- proval by said Board. Said checks, vouchers and warrants payable reg ister sheets were burned or other wise removed and destroyed upon the order and with the connivance of said Hayes, Leary, Kelly, Borg macs, Alderman and Dunn between October 5, 1887 and January 3, 1888 for the purpose of concealing said unlawful and fraudulent trans actions and for the purpose of con- cealing the formation and existence of said conspiracy.

 the Steam Sterilizing bill. The cer- tificate for seven hundred shares of stock is still registered in the name of Joseph H. Lawlor and is now in his possession.
 Nathan Spiro was a member of the State Senate in the 1885 session rep resenting the twenty-fourth district and was Senate Chairman of the Committee on Public Health and Safety. It was he who rendered the favorable report on the original bill in the Senate. As did the others, he received his certificate for five hundred shares of Electric Steam Sterilizing Company stock without payment therefor, and. within a week after its receipt by him, he sold the five hundred shares through brokerage concern for approXi- mately $1250. The receipt of these shares of stock, the Grand Jury has concluded was intended as gratu- ity to the Senator from Daniel J. Leary for the Senator's efforts in

said sheets the numbers of the vouchers appearing on said sheets and the true amount of claims to be submitted to said Board for ap- proval; and thereby did give an ap- pearance on said sheets of the approval of said payments by said Board of Finance, and thereby con- cealed said payments from said Board of Finance, and thereby did make payments in excess of appro- priations and without appropriations therefor, contrary to the provisions of said charter and the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut, and thereby did cheat and defraud the said City of Waterbury during said period of an amount in excess of a million dollars.
 And in further pursuance of said conspiracy, to wit, during the month of June, 1880, the said T. Frank Hayes caused to be passed by the Board of Aldermen of said city a resolution sponsored and approved by him, authorizing him, the said T. Frank Hayes, to make and exc cute a contract in behalf of said city for the term of two years, the purpose of which was to reduce the light and power rates in said city; and thereafter, to wit, ofl the 24th day of July, 1880, following a con- ference with said Leary, Comptroller and the said Kelly, Executive Sec retary to said Mayor, and said Ed ward G. Levy, contract in writing was entered into between the said Hayes, Mayor as aforesaid, and the said Edward G. Levy as Secretary of George Browning, Inc, of New York City, under the terms of which the said Browning, Inc, or the said Levy, was to receive one-half of all savings in light costs to the said city, and upon the further oral un- derstanding that one-half of all fees received by said Levy was to be paid to said Kelly.
 Balance Retained
 Thereafter, to wit, on or about the 22d day of January, 1881, the said Kelly induced the said Levy to sign a voucher and endorse a check of the City of Waterbury payable to him, the said. Levy, in the amount of $500, which said check was signed by said Daniel J. Leary and was payable at the Citizens & Man. ufacturers National Bank in said Waterbury: and thereupon the saiG Kelly cashed said check with the a!d of said Olsen, and gave to the said Edward G. Levy $50, retaining for himself and others the balance thereof.
 Thereafter, to wit, on or about the

 shares to Lieutenant Governor T. Frank Hayes. The stock was there upon transferred in accordance with these instructions. The Grand Jury concludes that the receipt of this stock by Joseph H. Lawlor, a mem Der of the 1885 General Assembly, which stock was subsequently, divid- ed with Lieutenant Governor T. Frank Hayes, presiding officer of the Senate before which this bill came for action, was intended as a gratuity from Daniel J. Leary to both the Senator and the Lieuten- ant Governor for their respective ef- forts in promoting the passage of

AlcOrn ." licly express it's appreciation of ths tireless and invaluable services of Hugh M. Acorn, Special Attorney for the State, his assistants, and his 5taG of trained investigators. With out their assistance and counsel, it is probable that this investigation would be unreasonably prolonged and less fruitful of results. The Grand Jury desires also to register its approval of the procedure di- rected by the Court in this case. It is the unanimous opinion of tho Grand Jury that, during the taking of testimony, the presence of the att torneys for the State and an off, cial stenographer. sworn officers oi the court, is required for the due administration of justice.

 out of the sums received by him
 from others. During both sessions
 he was active in behalf of the Drug giSts' Association and at the same
 time was receiving salary of $3,900 a year from McKesson, Robbins Company, plus an expense account of approximately $3.000. It was pri- marily through his efforts that the offices of the Pharmacy Commission
 were secured as meeting place and headquarters for himself and and Daniel J. Leary. As in the case of Williamson, prac- tically all payments to Mackenzie were in cash. apparently for the purpose of concealing the amounts and recipients of the various splits.
