whmat extent the city has been robbed since
that date. Mr. Gilbert's records show that hm
skinned jtmst 690 dogs fromn April 23 to Sop-
temuber 26. lIe saw all time dogs that were
drowned , but there vere nearly 200 that ho
wouhil not take. This makes a total of less thamm
900 dogs , while time city paid for more timan
1,500 up to time end of August. 115th-
mating tue number as simown by Frank's
September repnrt at 300 , which i less than
in any of time preceding months , it is evident
that time city has been swindled out of nearly
$1,000 since April.
Timere Can be no doubt that. Mr. Gilbert's
figures relresemat very nearly the actimal number -
ber of dogs for wimich time comispirators are
entitled to be paid. As lie , pays 22m , cents
for each skin , Spoerl was not likely to overlook -
look any chance to increase his prothts by
concealing any dogs from him. Time accuracy
of Gilbert's figures is also proven hI' time
way in % 'micim they compare with time figmmrom
of Cimief White's detectives during the perIcd
when absolute immformatiomm as to time number
of dogs drouvn ( l is obtainable , Time iletec-
lives reported that fifty-four dogs were actmm-
ally drowned dtmring the last two weeks of
July. P.lr. Gilbert's niemmiorandu show that he
skimmed exactly fifty-two durimig time same
period. 1)uring August also imis fIgures tally
alniost exactly with those of tIme detectives.
It is to be presummued , therefore , that they are
to'erably reliable as affording an approximate
idea of the mmunther of cammines uich actum-
ally met their death at time imatmtis of time
pountimaster.
ShOWING SPOEItL'S PROFITS ,
Taking these as a basis , time following table
