WER. THE RING [\VESTMENTS. Operations of Ingersoll, Gar-| vey and Haggerty. ANOTHER MILLION SPENT. How Coman and Keyser Pur- chased Real Estate. WHAT THE CHAIRMAKER DID. The Plasterer and the Janitor Ex- pending Thousands. | SELLING PROPERTY TO A BRIDE. * A Brother Getting Valuable Lots for Sixty-four Cents. WHAT A DOLLAR GOT. Giving Two Deeds for the Same Plot. Having described the remarkable real estate Operations of William M, Tweed, Peter B, Sweeny Bnd Richard B. Connolly, during the ten years from 1864 to 1874, we now Joliow up the invest- @ents made in real estate by James H. Ingersoll, Andrew J. Garvey, Edwin M, Haggerty, Thomas Coman and John H. Keyser, It will be iound that ali of these men expended A great deai of money for this ciass of property, nd that, though their individual investments were DOt as exteusive as those of the more prominent Members of the Ring, yet, in the aguregate, these five men purchased over a mil- tton dollars’ worth of jianded property in this tity. The records or realestate transiers, where their oawes appear, reveal Ordinary method of bargain and sale, the same greedy desire for wnole blocks of land, and the @ame eagerness to get the property out of their hands when the discovery was made that the Ring had become enormonsiy rich at the expense of tne taxpayers, While following -the example of Tweed and Connoily in investing their surplas shousands im real esiate, Ingersoll. Garvey, Hag- gerty, Coman cnd Keyser were aiso as prompt @ traceferring the same to their nearest felatives or to some trusted friend. In | several instances it will be seen that Richard M. iweed’s thirteeuth part of a dollar has its counterpart in Jon Garvey’s sixty-lour cents, while Coman upjears to have sold three houses and lots to one m:n for $3. Toe sume sysiem of enumeration of transactions and comparison of purctase and sale that was ob- Served in the previous arcicies is matntained in describing the operations of tnese lesser lignts of the Ring. it will oe seen that Garvey paid oat $485,900, and tnat Inzersoll’s investments amounted to $557,260, Those o! Haggerty arose co $160,200, while Comau’s were $48,250 and Keyser’s oply $35,250. pAMES H. INGERSOLL. For a chairmaker, Ingersoll seems to nave gone Wery heavily imto the purchase of real estate, some of tue amounts being very large.
