SULLIVAN UNBLUSHINGLY ADMITS CASHING MANY BOGUS WARRANTS ‘Deputy Treasurer Reis Appears in Peculiar Light---District Attorney Byington Proposes to Find .Ol\Jt What Is Going lerk’s Office When He Is Not Looking. = — ke o livan was well known, he was employed | by Warrant and Bond Clerk Charles S. Peery, an appointee of District Attorney Byington, as his bookkeeper. When Peei y was too busy or iIndisposed, he allowed i straighten out the daily cash transactions | of his office. Sullivan made out the daily | reports, because he was such a good pen- man and expert hookkeeper. Familiar with all the routine of Peery’s office and the police courts, Sullivan saw | a ehance to do a little grafting. | “Every one around the office was doing it,” said Sullivan to District Attorney | Byvington in Captain Seymour's office yes- terday afternoon, “and whv I should not do_the same thing I do not know.” This candid avowal staggered the Dis- trict Attorney, and he has promised' to make an “investigation.” Peculiar Business Methods. Ever since the new charter went into ef- | fect affairs in the warrant clerk’'s office | have been at sixes and sevens. Bail money was received and balances struck by cashing orders before the City Treas- urer ever handled the coin. The orders were accepted as cash, and the formula of putting the transactions .through the books was duly observed. But in this loose way of doing business Sullivan saw his opportunity and failed not to profit thereby. Cashier C. B. Perkins and Dep- uty Treasurer Reis generally handled the | papers and coin. The latter does not know just where he stands in'the matter. For some weeks past Sullivan has ap- | parently been endeavoring with the as- | sistance of others as yvet unknown to make a clean-up. Orders for the payment out of the city treasury of large sums of | money have been promiscuously handed | about. One of these was for $1640. for Chinese bail money. which was drawn out | from Judge Cabaniss’ court on March 15, before the order releasing the bail money ;wultsflgned by.the Judge of that depart- | ment. Cabaniss Repudiates Signature. John J. Greeley, a youthful attache of the warrant clerk’s office, made out bail bonds for the appearance of the Chinese, whose sponsor put up the money. There was some informality in the description | of the property, and then Joseph F. Cof- | fey. attorney for the Chinese, appeared | upon the scene. Coffey secured the re- lease of the men and Greeley lost his per- quisite. Sullivan drew. the money from the city treasury on an old-style with- drawal blank, without number, which was in vogue before the charter went into ef- fect, It was gurrorled to be signed by Geofge H. Cabaniss, but the latter dis- putes the genuineness of the signature. It . is not disputed that other money was dis- { tributed among those who + have some interest in it. In other words, ! no kick has yet been made, but the Sey- ! mour sleuths have not as yet discovered how it was done. B |, There is a whole, long list of these forged bail money orders. So far the fol- lowing have turned up at the city treas- ury during the past week: Department 1, Judge Mogan—J. Forbes. bondsman, 330, ' for Jennie Foster, charged with disturbing the peace.

Al though the genuineness of the signatures attached to the orders was questioned by Seymour’s expert, Kytka, Suilivan was stout in maintaining they were genuine. He was confronted by Judges Conlan and Cabaniss during the afternoon and Kytka, who was present, declared that the signatures and the body of the docu- ments were in the same handwriting.

Deputy' Treasurer Reis, who handles all these warrants and pays out the coin, looked sheepish and apparently appre- clated his uncomfortable position. Were it not for Rels’ apparent -discom- fiture, Sullivan’s insouclance and the presence of former Chief of Police Lees, who is a personal friend of the Reis fam- ily, it might have be<n a happy gathering. Knowing the genuine signatures of the *four police judges, hundreds of which pass througn his hands every week, Rels failed to make a.proper explanation of why he paid out the money, especially to a man whose record is known to everybody ever connecteG with the City Hall. It was harder for Reis than for Sullivan—that hour at police headyuarters. Sullivan’s Statement. Here is Sullivan's statement to Captain Seymour as reported by the police stenog- rapher: I don't care to make any statement about this matter at present. When Peery took me over in the corner he did not tell me not to say anything. I only asked him if he wanted me to make any statement or anything. I am willing to say what I sald then—that I had the money for those people and got my percentage out of it, anything they wanted to give me. T think I have taken money out in some cases that are mot yet disposed of. Some of them are Chinese cases. All of them are mot Chi- nese cases. That case of Joe Coffey's was dis- posed of. Bonds were substituted for cash. The $1600 cash bail was paid to the Chinaman ‘who put it up. I can’t recall any case not yet disposed of in which I drew down the bail. 1 think I could refresh my memory regard- ing these cases by looking at the bail books of One and Three Courts. (Bail books are pro- duced and examined by Sullivan, and he fails to find the ‘undisnosed of cases’ in .which he has drawn down the bail) T got whatever percentage they chose to give me—probably $2 or $2 Peery pays me on an average $0 a month. T drew $800 last Saturday. I have got only $800 now. I paid $30 to a fellow Saturday. I don’t remember his name.. He had an order for it.- 1 recollect telling Perkins on the ‘phone that we were pretty busy and would be late in gettinx out. Perkins didn’t telephone to me. T telephoned to him. T am short only §100, and I can get that in ten seconds. Those cases that are not disposed of will be paid when the time comes. Sometimes I go into one department of the Police Court with twelve or fifteen orders, and-if the clerks are busy I make out the orders and hand-them to the clerks to have the Judges sign them. The Judges sign the orders in blank and every- thing else. Sometimes the clerks make out the orders, and sometimes I make them out, and I sign for them. The Judges sign the orders for the clerks. A man is supposed to go out o the treasury to get/his bail money, but the boys down here accommodate them by getting the receipts and paying the money to them. have deposited bail money in the treasury. Sometimes I go out to the treasury alone, sometimes with Peery, and sometimes Peery goes alone. Peery has receipts for every dollar that he has paid into the treasury., There has never been any kick about the boys paving out the money. Peery pays out bail money. 1 expect a fee when I get.bail money for people, 1 take whatever they give me. The other day I cashed a $200 order and got nothing for it. Sometimes we get the money for attorneys. I 'never signed any Judge's name to any order on the treasury. Those receipts you have there should be in the possession of the clerk of the court. Burke gave me a lot of them to Jook up. Most of those receipts have been paid. as is shown on the beck. Those $5 drunk receints have not been paid. 1 had thcse to look un.

He was asked to pro- duce the book in which the accounts for money deposited as bail were kept. An examination of ‘this book disclosed the fact that the bondsmen named on the fraudulent warrants had never signed re- ceipts for the return of their money.
