Although the grand total of
Mr.. Barrett's expenditures will
probably never be known be-

money which Mr.. Barrett spent
during 1949, 1850 and the first

Report on Barrett S Finances

The tollo1Ding is a partial tert
of the statement by Jerome J.
Steiker, accountant for the Sen
ate District Crime Committee.
summarizing Investigation of
the finances of former Police
Supt. Robert J. Barrett:
The examination started with
the financial questionnaire
sworn to and submitted by
Robert j. Barrett. In addition,
the subcommittee received most
of Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett's can
celed checks for the years 1949.
1850 and 1851, 1t should be
noted that about so Cancelled
checks were not submitted, and
an examination of the stub
books showed that 80 stubs had
been torn from the binding and
were missing.
Information derived from
Cancelled checks was fragmen-
tary. inasmuch as most of MIR.
Barrett's dealings were not by
check but in cash. For example,
a $12.26 check to the order of a
local laundry brought to light
disbursements totaling over
$3.50, in cash during the period.
A $40 check in 1851, payable to
a florist, revealed payments IN
cash Of $213.80 not otherwise
disclosed. A check for $48.76
in 1851, payable to a building
supply company, revealed addi-
tional disbursements in this
period of over $7OO in cash.

More Than $1,000
For Dry Cleaning

A series of six checks In 1850.
totaling $145.50 payable to a
local dry cleaning establish
ment, led to the discovery of
over $1,000 in additional cash
payments for dry cleaning dur
ing the period under study.
A SIT charge appearing on
Mr.. Barrett's bank statement
and representing a check not
submitted by him to the sub
committee, turned out to be
Q payment to an awning
company whose records showed
additional cash payments by
Mr.. Barrett of over $500 during
1949. 1850 and the first nine
months of 1851.
Among the checks not sub
mitted by Mr.. Barrett, was one
for $40 in 1851 payable to a
hardware and heating concern.
This led to the discovery of an
additional $500 in cash pur-
chases by Mr.. Barrett from that
firm. A check for $3.50 to q
Venetian blind establishment
uncovered additional cash dis
bursements of over $400 during
the period. A check for $4 in
1949 to a dentist led to the dis
closure of additional cash pay
ments of $244 in the period
under study.
4 \ \ \
Mr.. Barrett's disbursements
were documented by Cancelled
checks. vendors records, sworn
statements and the like, and, in
fact, represent a conservative
figure. BY that, I mean that all
of Mr.. Barrett's disbursements,
of a necessity, are not included
here, because he dealt largely
in cash, and cash purchases are
typically difficult to trace.

Spent $13,880
Above Resources

The conclusion is that, during
the 33 months ending Septem-
ber 80, 1851. Robert ]. Barrett
spent in excess of funds avail
able for disbursement the sum
of $13,880.92.
In addition, we have esti-
mated that, during this period.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett spent an
average of SIS per week as
pocket money and about $40
to $45 per month for entertain
ment and liquor. When
these additional expenditures
are included, the excess dis
bursementS of Mr.. Barrett for
the two years and nine months
ending September 80. 1851. total
$17, ,400.92.
The analysis Of excess dis
bursements by years shows
that Mr.. Barrett spent in excess
of funds available: In 1949.
$5.135.93: in 1850. So. 8.204.52. and
in 1851 first nine months !.
$4.060.47.
