On the 15th of -'.pril, 1922, l had the honor of
appointment as Referee !n ~anln-uptcy for the le1tern Division of the

At that time, as the reoorda of the Court will estaclish,

~hen 7ou beosme Chief of the ~ureau and life was again injected into the oampaign. Since 7our inouabenc1, and because of the
interest 7ou have taken in these matters. we haTe had onl1 one aerie•&

Dear Mackey:-'I ( I .
July 25th,l921.
Beplying to your letter of July 22nd,192l,
I recall very ci.arly Captain KoConnell corning into the office and giving us either hie check or caeh for a
91!6.l.l. 91111"1!'.rt vf 111onq. ~ 'll'hieb 1lfl h91rell o-a:r o'heck. It 9MIDB -m me 'that 11; W&£ a check be lsai and be wan tea.
our check for some reason which I don't recall, possibly
he wanted to make en early collection on the cheok he
.h&d and QUI 4heck wa.i:; •asier 'to o&ah 1n ila.shine;ton,
I am not at all clear as to just what the
111one7 npneen'tea. by th1e check wae. It eeeme to me
'\hat 1't was fin amount wh1cb eome mlnor emp1o,..e at tom
encampment bad admitted he had wrongflll.ly 'made 1n eome
way in handling the supplies of the enoempment, and
wished to return. McConnell was makin8 an investigation
and was 1n iloubt u to what ahould be done w1 th the
aoney, not tnow1n£ whether it ehould be retlll"Jled to the Disbursing Officer at the encempment and credited
to some War ~epartment Division, or turned in to the ______ -!frell81U"¥--48--4 m1soelleneo11a S.tA!, If~ oheok~wwca .... e------
returned without being cashed it would seem to oonfizm the idea that the money should be paid to the Treasury,
In any event, the check wae the money wbioh we put 1n
our Special J'Und, in exchange for our check.
l Tece1'l. Oaptain 11cConne1.l speaking to me
about 1t one day and my ~u.rning the matter over to Kise.
Btephens to give him the oheok he desired, It was a
T•IT amall transaction and took on1Jr a .minuta or two D£
"time during a -.ery busy per1oa., and happened three yr J. ~ . ..A"/ /'/

I am sending a copy of this letter and
7ours to Miss Stephens, so that she may WTite you an;v
1'urtner recollection which she may have about the
matter.
It may be that the amount of tsl.33 was
received by some employee of the Gove?'lll!lent in an "Under
cOTer" inTeetigation and that be turned it into licConnell
for disposition, The only fact that I am sure of is that

the accounts 11ere paid fro::-. this funa 1mnea1ately on

but that the absence of records and of people who
were f~.iliar ..-:1th it~ hendlinf, may handicap you
in getting it strai~htencd out.
The only points that occur to rrie vjfiara
you msy look in t~e hope of gettins the matter
straightened out, is that, assumin(!'. the s-,;ne practice

Mr. J, H. Mackey,

Y:ashin2ton, D.C,
Dear ~ackey: '
I received your letters of June 21,. re
gardin~ the special account. I -am sure that I have
none of the :i;aid checJ:s, bank statements, or any
thing else belonging to this account, but I will
make a search of what few records 1 have in order
t4:> ~ .s:12ra. l ,, 1!'he e1 ,1'00 1n eaah -pe,1~ ~ 'by ebeel: 1)!
November 22, 1918, to the ~est of my recollection
was c asr, a~ vanced to an ar.:e nt to be marked in a
--· - -1'raua e<;,ae ·to be used as ~iv1d<rm:ie --as .roon --as :a'TTl!ati!I -
were made. l!iss Stephens can doubtless tell you
•;hat the case was. It is IIJ3 recollection that it
was either a Sl:.ipp1nf Board caae or a caae a:r1a1ng '
tn 'the ~T!llaster'. llepart:!lllnt 1n eonnect1on nth
the frauaulent 1.ett1nl!' of contracts. 'lbees two
~uite impo~tant cases-were going on about this time
and I t "-ink it was in one of t'l-i.em, although I hE.ve no clear recollection on the sub~ect. ~is check waa
_ drawn 3ust about the t1me 1 was ~1Vine up act1Te
---------------}lartici!J!1.tion in the 1'/0rk ana _Just -l'r:or. as I re-
, call it, to a trip I took around to a number o c tie
a ~r. 1
up troublesome situations, and I
touch >:ith the office d:1rinr: the last month
weeks of 1918. In fact, a couple of we .
l Tie.a in bed with influenza. l!iss . .e
sure will be able to tell ;;ou vmt:t t\ii11/; ·.,
Cheoks to lo!rs. Curry were fn &.11 settle

last ps.yment to her and the r-.318.54 being the
final payment, if I am not mistaken. These amounts
should r.ave been c~arged in accounts on blue slips and
the special funil reirr.bursed. Whether this happened
or not, I do not know, althongh I c.m quite sure I
d1·5 not render any account for the p!iyment made in
February 1919. If Mr. Allen did not, that would
account for an amount due to the s~ecial fund. for
which an account sho,,ld be rendered. -
I ret 1rn these enclosures so that you can
send them to Mias Stephens if you wish to do so.
Very truly yours,

on the 4ay of the break with r.ezmeny, Fischer took two large
packages to the Northwestern National BE.llk D~ G.ize.r~ ~vezwe~ this city, and bad them placed in a safe deposit vault. It oocure to me that probably these packages contain money an4
Jewelry belonging to Capt. Thierickena and hie officers, an4
I would like to be advised whether or not we should obtain a
search warrant, oelling upon the bank to produce these pack
ages so we might examine same to ascertain their contents.
Will you kindly advise me on this mstter? I should also li~e to bear from you as soon as possible es to what
a1epos1t1on should be made of the two above mentioned pack
ages.
Yours very truly,
