of this thinly di.-guised fraud. It
is now kim"nvn that the banlk re

it wa.-s throem;ih Ohis disgracecfull
channel I that thousands of dollars'
worth of fratululent p-ty cortifieates
and "AAIlie(l .ore-o" or-ders found
thoir way into thio Stato trea SIurOr's
ofivo and wvore paid, .)hil.;t honest
clainIts were turtied away heart
sick and disgusted. At the tiim
the bill t f-ired to was u1n-lcr con
fi(erttioln it wIts well 1iderstood
that this "most scetec bmik" could
not, exist, without aid. It is not
surprising 1erefore that the bill
was pa.5sud by the expendituro of
$80,000 by way of bribes, absorbing
intti of th appr(opriaton. Of
this thiere can be noc doubt, for withi
an mua;zing:. Llro(n tory thi~e books of
bank show tho fact undller the entry
of "'legilativo expetnses."
Thie time for the fai lure of this
bank~ hadc nott ariived, ini the interestO
of the Rling. Thel passage1~ of the
bill alWorded aL bief relief, iand wh'1eni
thei auic(iou 015occasion airrived its
faloino withi over %0t0,000) of
the mloncy of1 the St~ta and1( a lrgo
amouitlnt of school and( county funds
on deposit, with as wvorItless a lot
of assets as were ever rendered in a
court of insolvency. Thiis faihure
we shaltl refer to hereafter in a
separa'Ito rep or t. We are concerned~
n1ow only to present the p)ortionsa of
theO evdc showing the methods
and( manais by wich thtis iniquitous
miteasur wc~as fastened upon the
poplei, and a spcial tax was lovied
upjonl thleml for tihe payment of the
climiis ombtlracedI by it.
It will bo0 ob)served that a small
por'tion of these claims woro valid
demanlllds agatinst the State; theso,
however, were in a largo measureo
slubsequen thy abstracted from the
b)ill and pid by the State treasurer
out of other funds, in order to give
place to over twenty thousandi dol,
laris of fraudulent pay cortifiates;,
mtaniufactulredl for the occalsion, so
that cortin State officials might
receive their share of "gr'atifica-.
tion."
Prince RI. Rivers testifies that "lie
voted for tihe bill ; met thle meombers
at a caucus ; Hardy Solomon was
there, and1( spoke in the caucus ; tile
next night the members were to
mee,t him there, and he was to see
them separately; 1h0 ofiered me
$500,; that ainount he afterwards
paid me at the bank in city bills.
noerry- of Georgetown, invited t.he
menbers to meet Solomon in the
caucus. I think I met Keith and
H-Iuiibort, of Darlington, at the
batk.'
Keith t0stifies that lie Was paid
850 in city bills and about $50 in
groceries.
Butler Spears, a member from
Sm11nt0r, received goods amounting
to abont $120.
W. W. 11amsay was paid $100 to
sipport the bill.
Jaies Young testifies that he
"voted for the claim and received
about $30 in City of Columbia
bills."
It. S. Tarleton, member from
Colleton, testifies that ho "voted
for the bill, and was paid $50 worth
of groceries."
The following other parties con,
fessed to having received the follow
ig atouitti for supporting the bill:
11astinigs Gantt, $75 ; David Gra
hai, 8.,3100 : Paris Simpkins, $200 1
A. Simlins, $200 ; Charles Sims,
provisions ; John Dix, $100 ; Dan
nrly, .8100 ; Vanderpool, $100 ; N.
T. Specier, $300, J. J. Grant,
liquors and cigars ; Turner, pro
imiscd $300, received $100; Gilmore,
$250 ; Senator Jared Warley, $100 ;
Senator Sam Gieon, $500 ; Senator
C. ). Hnyne, $575.
Larence Cain, senator from Edge
field county. testifios that "at first
he was opposed to the bill ; that
Senator Jervey, of Charloston, wait
ed on M[r. Solomon in reference to
the bill, in behalf of himself and
other senators, and reported that
he (Solomon) was willing to pay the
party 85,000 and no more. Finally
it was agreed that a party of us
shoull receivo for our support of
the bill tie sum of $5,000. I re
ceived of this sum a little more
thanl. 600. There were eight of us
imyseil, Senators W. R. Jervey, W.
E. Johnston, Moses Martin, J. H.
White, C. D. Hayne, F. A. Clinton
and Dublin J. Walkor. I am satis
lied these arc the parties."
Moses Martin, sonator from Fair
field, testifies that lie "voted for the
(aim and received from Hardy
Solomon five hundred dollars in
consideration of the same."
Senttor Gaillard, of Charleston,
testified to the receipt $500.
S. J. Leo in his evidence says,
that "at the session at which tho
claini of Hardy Solomon passoA
Hardy Solomon discovered that
ho could obtain a portion of it
out of a dif'erent appropriation,
auounting to something over $20,
000, and desired the vacum to be
created in the $125,000 by the with
drawal of the claim to be thus oth
wise paid, to be filled up by the
issuance of pay certificates. I was
thou speaker and attended a consul..
Cation to determine how the matter
should be arranged. Hardy Solo .
muon, F. L. Cardozo, R. H. Gleaves
and .[ think Governor F. J. Moses,
Jr., and riyself were present. It
was agreed that about $20,000
should be withdrawn from the
8125,000, and the vacuum thus cre
ated to be filled up b)y the issuance
of pa~y certificates by Gleaves and
myself. I recognize the followving
certificates as being part of the cer
tificatos issued by Gleaves and my
self to 1111 up the vacuum referred to
above :
No. 149~, in favor of B. M. Patter
son, for $2,950 50.
No. 150, in favor of P. D. Smith,
for $3,375.
No. 151, in favor of J. J. Wells,
for $3,474.
No. 152, in favor of P. M. Atkin
son, for $1,780.
No. 153, in favor of C. T. Lee, for
$1,478 60.
No. 154, in favor of M. E. Carter,
for $1,230 60.
No. 155, in favor of G. T. Bron
son, for $1,585 90.
All these certificates were issued
without any consideration, and are
fraudulent. They wvere all ante
dated. This $20,000 was to divide
between Gleaves, Moses, Hoge, Car
dozo and myself. Cardozo said at
the consultation that he would take
Hoge's for him. House certificate
"No. 263, for $4,960 23, ini favor of
IT. C, Harness, is a fraudulent cer
tificate, and wvas given by me to
Hardy Solomon to go into his claim,
and I received from him $5,000 for
my services in connection with the
claim, which wvas placed to my cred-a
it in, the South Carolina Bank and
Trust Company."
The bank books corroborate Lee
in this statement.
Ex-Governior F'. J. Moses testi
fies in reference to the claim that
"a schedule representing the char,
acter and amount of the claims
was laid before the General Assem
bly ; that a large number of claims
provided for in the blikwee witl
