Matibew Richardson, of Albany, referred to in Prender’s statement alleging {rauds in the Treasury department, was a clerk in Gen. Spinner’s bureau, entering upon his deties about tsi. His duty was simply to count money io the :edemption bureau, and not, as he says, to Keep the books of the de- aig oe for the cancellation of moneys. r. Richardson states that tn 1865 a package of borage amountiag to £10,500, was lost and never discovered. So far he is right, but he further states that a certificate was filed that the money had been lost, and falsely slated that it bad been canceled. The money ‘wes canceled, having passed from the Treas- user's office to Une Suaitor, and from him to vice ft purities | macly | the controller, both bolding receipts, and thence to the Treasurer's office, where the SbLove amount was fo: missing.

She thanked hin very kind! end requested that the privilege of the grouucs be given her brother as much as pos- sible, lo which the doctor assented, and she leftior her home. Soon afterwards she was informed that her brother had walked away from the asylum, and bad taken shelter wita akind farmer near Odenton, Md., on the Baltimore and Potomac ratiroad. From there her brother wrote for money bring him home with, which was sent him. He then remained with her ai her home for some time, and upon ascertaining that he was not gelling any better she wrote to Dr. Nichol giving him a full statement of the case, a ing that she felt confident, from her couv sation with him, that he (Dr. Nichols) would take proper care of her brother 1! sent to the asylum, and that she would pay his board, attendance, and expenses. Then at the advice of her friends she again sent Ler brother to the asyinm, and sup. posed that the fine room which the doctor | had shown her was given him. Feeling un- easy about it, she again came to Washing- ton, end instead of finding him in the room for which she bad beea paying, she foand bim in a@ werd crowded in among iltty-foar olber men.

TR. yiox Was cros.-examised at some lepgth by Messrs. Tufts and Woodworth, of the committee. She said she feit confident from what Dr. Morrell had told her, that Dr. Hamiia whipped the woman. She said it was her firm belief that if she had not taken her brother away from the asylum he would pow a confirmed imbecile if liviog at all; that he complained bitterly of his harsh treatment, and said that Dr. Morrell had knocked him down.
