to divers national banks throughout
the United States, and only $3,500,000
of the $24,000,000 bonds sold to banks
were at a higher price than that of
fered by him.
According to Austin's petition, when
he learned that his bid had been Ig
nored and no allotment made ot him,
he appealed to the treasury depart
men and the response of Secretary
Cortelyou convinced him of the sec
retary's Intention to disregard the
statutes and thereby commit a mal
feasance for which he alleges Mr. Cor
telyou Is not a man of sufficient means
to answer to the citizens of the United
States and to him.
In his statement Austin also cites
the bid of one George A. Romar of
Xew York, who had complied with the
terms of the secretary's circular In
every particular, hut whose bid was
Ignored. It Is declared that Komar
offered bids for $1,000,000 at $103.25,
for $1,000,000 at 103.50, for $1,000,
000 at 103.75 and for $1,000,000 at
104, and that a further bid was made
by Romar for $4,000,000 at 103.25.
Austin's petition concludes with the
statement that by reason of the sec
retary's Ignoring of the bids cited, the
United States and the citizens thereof,
Irrespective of the rights of the bid
ders,' fiave been deprived of and will
be deprived and defrauded of several
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
