Tammany Uncovered Camping Revelations of Corruption Leaders
New York April 29 legislative investigating committee held a sensational session charging Tammany hall leaders with corruption. Patrick McCann testified that a $180000 fund was raised to secure Grant's appointment as commissioner of public works with $80000 from Grant and $100000 from the organization, though the money was not used. McCann said envelopes containing up to $25000 were given to Crocker’s daughter while Grant was sheriff, and Holme and Becker were alleged to have approached family members to go abroad.

Mayor Grants Denial of McCann Allegations Before Senate
New York April 26 Mayor Grant sharply denied McCann’s charges before a senate committee. He said he was never a candidate for commissioner of public works and not eligible in 1884. He dismissed an $80,000 corruption fund as frivolous and defended gifts to Crocker’s daughter as modest and appropriate. Mrs. Crocker calls McCann’s statements false and says relations with her husband are pleasant. He refutes the idea of a house payment of 25000 by Crocker through his daughter Joasle.
