Note 3 — MORE FEES FOR LEGAL SERVICES.
Reading edition
Mr. Johnson, the Auditor, to whom the Court referred for adjustment certain accounts of the Freedmen’s Bank, has just furnished me with the following statements:
In the case of Freedmen’s Savings and Trust Company vs. Abbott Paving Company, No. 4465, found balance due the bank, $63,890.80.
To meet this there is on hand, in depreciated and worthless securities, $44,165.67.
Freedmen’s Savings and Trust Co. vs. Vandenburgh. No. 4463.
Found balance due the bank, $85,372.64.
Securities on hand to meet this, depreciated and worthless $75,208.21.
Stickney’s shameful and criminal mismanagement is forcibly told in the above. If we had a Tweed to tell us the true inwardness of the Abbott Paving Company, and the men behind its scenes, the story would be doubly interesting.
