Certain payments were made hereunder and "split" as agreed and in May, 1892, release of the contract was arranged for between Levy and Kelly, Kelly pro- duced a check payable to George Browning Incorporated, in the $4200, which was cashed by Olsen for Browning and Levy at the Water bury Trust Company. Kelly gave Levy $2200 and retained for him. self, Hayes, Leary and Olsen $20O0. After the release of this contract a new arrangement was entered into between Levy and Kelly whereby Browning was eliminated and Levy was to retain approximately 25 in- stead of 50 per cent of the cash paid to him and would kick back" the other 75 per cent. Levy did not pretend to do any work or perform any services for the city thereafter but received many payments under this arrangement aggregating a very large sum of money.
 In the case of Levy there was def mite evidence of a "kick back" of 50 and later 75 per cent of the amount received and in the cases of Williamson and Mackenzie the "kick back" was generally 50 per cent. In the cases of Coppeto, San- talucia and Healey, while there was no direct evidence of the split. 1t followed the pattern of the Pietraro- ria payments and only a small amount of the total received by them was deposited in their &C., counts.

been battered to a standstill, the
British announced today, but the
rich island settlement of Penang,
outf1anked by the Japanese on the
mainland, has been abandoned by
its British defenders.

108 square miles and mixed popula-
ton of 100000 to japanese domina-
ton, was undertaken while the
japanese were thrusting their spear
head about 100 miles into North
western Malaga.
The garrison, OF unspecifled
strength, was removed without loss
to another zone of defense, possibly
the Krian River line, where the
British hope to halt the japanese
for good some 300 miles from Singa-
pore.
All equipment also was withdrawn
and the isuand now Is completely
