How Neely Kept His Books
In Havana on June 4 Acting Director Bristow disclosed postal funds misappropriated by C F W Neely in May 1899 totaling 31 31295 dollars. Neely’s method split receipts with half kept by him and the other half accounted. The Rathbone inquiry traced the scheme to May 26 last year when he ordered Special Agents to audit accounts. They found a shortage but no warning, urged blank monthly report forms, and the plan only surfaced May 15 this year after Auditor Reeves pushed it forward.
