Paid Insurance Agent Kohler $50,000
Paid our assistants, etc. 25,000
Paid Bank Clerk Taylor 275,000
Divided equally between Shinburn and myself 1,225,000
----------
Total $1,575,000
The amount paid to the police was divided as follows:--
To James Irving, head of Detective Bureau $17,000
To John McCord, detective 17,000
To George Radford, detective 17,000
To James Kelso, detective 17,000

In addition to the above amounts paid police and court officers, James
Kelso, and Frank Houghtaling were each given a James Nardenne, Swiss
movement, hunting-case watch and long chain, bought at Benedict
Brothers’ for five hundred dollars apiece.
All moneys paid police and court officers, except John Jourdan’s share,
I paid direct to John McCord as early as November 1. Jourdan’s rake-off
was paid to him personally by me at his home in Prince Street on a
Sunday evening three days before Shinburn sailed for Hamburg. At this
meeting McCord was present, and it was arranged that McCord and Radford
should be at the Hoboken pier to protect Shinburn from the Pinkertons.
