Mr. Kelly was the only ona authorized to withdraw the money, Kelly's cousin, Francis Mulgrew, of Columbus avenue gna Boventieth strect, has also presented’ his claim for $24,000, which, he says, the missing man owes him. It appears, from ‘his statement that at the very time Kelly waa adv: outing the cause of temporanco in ni tonal and State conventions, he was virtually @ pactner In Mulgrew’s saloon, In Columbus avenue, | On top of these revelations comes the story of Kelly's periods of traneforma- tion from high and useful oltisenship {nto an unreagoniig aimless roamer | the alums of great citles.
