AUDITOR MAY GO TO TRIAL Grant County Official Denies Misuse of Funds. Austin D. Hunt auditor of Grant County, who Is charged by the State board of accounts with overdrawing more than $799, will not repay the amount without standing trial, according to a statement he Is said to have mads to Jesse E. Eschbach, chief examiner of the accounts board, yesterday. Mr. Eschbach said he would turn the account over to the attorney general for collection. Mr. Hunt, In a report of field examiners for the State board which covered the accounts of the present auditor and ex-auditor of Grant County, Is accused of having paid himself the above amount, over and above that to which he was entitled to receive for copying of names on registration lists during the 1920 campaign. The n? fl y° r an( * the clerk of Marion are also charged with accounts due the State. The Grant County auditor says he had a contract duly signed by the board of Grant County commissioners, by which he was entitled to receive 3 cents for each name copied, In both of the books in which the names were to be entered. Mr. Hunt says his contract was similar to those entered Into by the auditors and boards of commissioners of Madison, Blackford and Wabash Counties, where the auditors were allowed 8 cents fo:* each name. This, however, covered the copying of the names In both books, and Is the same as he charged. The auditor says he has the copy of the contract which was signed by the commissioners and himself, and that this price was agreed on by the commissioners. Mr. Hunt made a special trip to Indianapolis Thursday, for a conference with Mr. Eschbach, in order to straighten out the matter. It is understood that he obtained no satisfaction from the State board, and It is considered likely that a suit will result from his failure to repay the amount. What action the State board will take In the matter, following Mr. Hunt's refusal to repay the money, Is doubtful.
