Sweet, Pansion Agent: TxiTEp STATES MansEAL's OFFICE, NORHERN DistricT oF luLwvols, Crroaco, May 12, 1876.— Iiss Ada Sweet—DEAR MaDax: *Very soon after the fire of 1871, Mr. David Blakely asked me fora loan of 85,000, or my indorsement of his note fcr Zat amount, npon which he .could raise the money. AsI Dot the money at the time, 1did gnsrantee '-h:djpllymenl of his note for that amount, which was discounted at bank for his ben- efit, he promising at the time to leave with me gat- isfactory collateral secarity for the same, which he failed io do. The malter was apure and sim- ple accommodation to Mr. Blakely personslly, and dope wunder the very general feeling of sympathy which pervaded our poople after tho ot suffering xnd 10ss consequent upon the fire. " Blakely had repeatedly promised to pay it, and I have no doubt was snxious to do so. He some time during the year of 1873, to commence g.l)’ing it in instaliments, and up to the 74 he had rsduced the princy by payments according to his agreement to $4,250, ‘when he came to me and stated that he had de- cided 1o remove to Minnesota, thut he had ar- ranged to the Pension Agency, 2nd to have you to sncceed him. which waa the first intima- tiom I had of the contemplated arrangement. He said he had made business arrange- ments with you, by which the payments on the amount doe on his mote Wwould be continued the same a8 if ha had remained here, and that he would make these flaymenu through you. He stated at the time that if I desired any assur- ance from you that such was his arrangement with you, be would sead you to me to confirm his atate- Tent. You very soon after called upon me and reiterated and confirmed the assurance of MMr. Blakely, and then offered to put the obligation on your part in writing, if I desired {t, to which I re- plied that your word was sufiicient. You after- wards, between April, 1874, and April, 1875, paid me in the aggregate §2,105 for Mr. Blakely's account, for which I receipted to him throngh-you, apd which smonnts were paid by me into bank and indorsed on Mr. Blakely’s note, on the days the respeciive payments were 80 made by yon. Up to that time, to-wit, April, 1875, 1 had 1ot been asked or requested to use any influence, political or otherwise, dircctly or indi- rectly, for you. Neither do I remember of having done anything in that direction, as I ncver had a suspicion that there was any necessity for 5o doing, Mr. Blakely re&reunimgmme upon hia first in- terview touching this matter that your sppoint- ment_was all arranged, and would be consum- B e e, o n the 25 they were made by you, were indorsed on Mr. g'lnke)y‘n now.y- £ had always sopposed the payments were e 35 s proper business matter between ‘yourself and Mr. Blakely, on a legitimate basis and entirely free from any tsint or suspicion of impromncuon. political or otherwise. I certainly mever 2 suspicion of impropriety in the trans- action until recent developments, which show an entire want of consideration for the payment of the money, and also the great impropricty of the whole arrangement s between Mr. Blakely and yourself. Since learning the full particalars, Ihave decided toreturn to you theamountpaid to me on Mr. Blakely's account. Ido this, not beeanse I now feel tiat I did wrong, or have rendered myself ‘amenable to complaint or.censure, notwithstanding the violent and sbusive imputations which have been charged npon me by & portionof the public ;lren!, ng:n distorted statements of the facts, but because I do not wish to retain an; 1z of which any one could reaconsbly complafn, 2o also becausé I told you s few days eince that if yon, underail the circumstances, feltIought not to retain the benefit of it, 1 would cheerfully return it toyou.

Buttwo indictments werc found of any importance, one against George Von Hollen, the absconding City Collector, snd the other agninst Christian and ‘Henry Boegerhausen and George Lampe, for the murder of F. Pfrang a few weeks ago' at a wedding in Bridgeport, at which he was an uninvited guest. The latter indictment was considered very impor- tant by the jury, so much so thata jury warrant for the arrest of the parties was given to the Sheriff with instructions that it should be attended to at once. In this case, it will be remembered, the Cor- oner's jury failed to hold any of the accused, but since then 1t is reported that a brother ‘of the deceased has offered to accept $4,000 from the fn- dicted parties and dismiss the prosecutfon. Whether this fact came to the knowledge of the jury or not is not known, but it is believed that the indictment will be sustained beforea Petit Jury. _ The parties were arrested dpring the day. /After the consideration of these matters THE INVESTIGATION WORK ‘was resumed, the time being divided between the conduct of the office of the County Treasurer, the management of the Jail, and the relations existing Dbetween the County Board and Hogan, Periolat, and others, o contractors, and the relations of both to’the panpers snd insane of the county. In the jail matter, an ex-employe named Dunbam and C. B. Galvin were the prin- cipal witnesses. The former testified to very little of importance, not being in shape totell what he knew. voluntarily.
