FAILURE OF CASE IC REACH UPPER (MYSTERY Records Found in Appeal Filed by State Board in July, 1922, Efforts were being made today to determine why the case involving the powers of the State board of accounts, supposed to have been transfered to the Supreme Court from the Appelate Court July 29, 1922, did not reach the Supreme Court until today. Pleadings In the case, filed at different times, have been found by Joel A. Baker, deputy clerk of the Supreme Court, buried under old files of decided cases. Baker said. The case was filed during the term of Patrick J. Lynch, as clerk. Zacharlah T. Dungan is clerk now. In the case the Appellate Court held the board of accouhts had no power over road contracts.

Records show that the petition was filed July 29 and that briefs and request for oral argument were filed Aug. 10. The three documents were together when, found. Records show the various filings wepe entered in the Appellate Court docket but never appeared on the Supreme Court docket.
