Judge McCuo, who was tho patron of Bprague and Rodman, is belioved to havo known about it. No arrest 1s likely to fol- low, 08 Rodman threatons influential men whoso socrots ho knowa, (7o the Associated Press) Nrw Yong, Aug, 28.—It la kuown that the Brooklyn City I'roasury is involved in a common catastropho with the Brooklyn Trust Company, Lato Inat night it was ascortainod that the City Tronsury had been robbod of a large amount, and that Rodman, tho late Auslstant City Trons- urer and Bacretary of the Trust Company, was tho guilty party, Rodman, acting in his double capacity, was enabled to cover up the deficiency by making falso stotomonts concorning the amount of the city monoyon doposit in the Trust Company. Looking ovor the accounts of tho Trust Company and books of the City Treasury, Mr. Warren, tho export, who is ongaged in oxamining them, fluds the defalca~ tious of Rodman to be as follows: From tho City Trensury, £55,000; gouernl fund, £98,000 ; Board of Edueation on doposit with ‘[reasuror, £60,000.

Yor ~thom, sud thoy ard afraid ho will toll all if thoy threalon to make him o scapogont, It 18 aleo alleged that, iu ordor to ohield "this alleged ring of speoulnor, the doficionoy will Lo quictly ‘mot by parties who are dirgotly rosposible for tho eafe cuslody ot the eity funds, At pu oarly bour this morning, Mr, doniod that thero find oo auy defaleation, ind Comptroller Schroder, althougl well awara fhere hiad beon o defaleation, \vuulfuol admit it. Lwo liours later, howovar, it was admitted by both thoso ofileinls, who stated It was nocessarv for them to keep tho matter quict from the faoct that thoy wero engagod in raising an amonut to ko good the loss, so the city should not suffer. Its now undorstond that Spraguc's bondsmen hoyo pledged thomselves to meke good any de~ flcionay, and that Spraguo hos mado assigumonts of all hils proposty to tho city, even Lo bis housos hold goods. : Thore are thozo who nseort that Ifills, of tho Brooklyn Trust Compauy, who was drowned sb Spraguo .Coney Island, was implicated with Rodman in this dofleiancy. : Among otlier rumors which woro- rifo waa one that cortain city dopartmont was also involved in trouble, but the nature of the troublo was nok defined. Iuquiry from officiuls failed to dovelop anything satisfactory. Mr. Warren has comploted his examination of Ahio books of the Trust Company, and hus his ro- port roady, No further diccropancies than those alresdy known to the publio hiave beon discover- od. T'ho Broomfln Eagle says: The sum and sub- atancoof alltho stutoments mado is,that Rodmna 18 to-day n defaulter to the oxtont of §248,000; that nearly three yonrs ogo Lo, with tho assiste euco of Mr. Mills, stolo 350,000, and more re- contly took the sums bronght up ngainet Lim to- day, ~ Tho 60,000 first takon wore discovered by the City Tronsuror shortly aftor the thoft, and made good by bim without any publicity,”: Ilo did not, howovor, remove Rodman, as he should bave done, Lut allowed him to coniinue his robbories. In othor” words, -for somo m{‘alerinns rcason, ofter finding this man had’ robbed the city, ho permitted him to remain in actunl control of its financos. How long it is sinco tho City Treasury learned of the theft which caused the excifomont of this moming L yot to bo learned, As to the first operation of Rodman's, it i8_mornlly cortain that ho was soconded 1n it by Mills, for, besides finding their bank accounts incrensod exactly that amount, it i now also lesrned that in throo days after that thoy lonucd in n private way $50,000 to the Con- tral Bank. Mlls and Rodman simply took 250,000 out of the City Lreasury and divided it botwoon them, Whether they divided the amount found deficiont yestorday or not remaing for inquiry. ho beliof in that they did, and that tho city was at_their hauds systomntically vietimizod, New Yong, Aug. 28.—City Treasurer Sprague, of Drooklyn, mado o formal compluint ngainst ex-Deputy Oity ‘Lreasnror M.

MMr. Sprague will make a completo statoment of tho amount of dofaleation to-mor- row. Financinily, Mr, Spraguo is said to bo com- pletely ruinod by the nefurious course of his dishonest doputy.
