TRUSTEES WILL

I,

COMPTON AND ADDISON RETAIN COUNSEL

Combined Snortage of Trustees of Henry and Harrison Townships May Reach Oooo or $6,000

NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 31.

Since the arrest of Sanford W. Compton, former trustee of Henry township, many things have eotne to the surface which heretofore were unknown, outside of the grand jury room. It has now developed that the combined shortage in the accounts of Compton and Addison of Harrison township will probably reach $5,000 or $6,000. It is not thought that both men have embezzled to such an extent as that, but that they have illegally charged accounts to the -r.-NTT-rahip mnnev which should

have been paid out of their own pockets. It will be an easy matter to determine whether or not either of the two men under arrest occupy false positions through ignorasce or whether they are guilty of diserepencies which should not exist. Before adjourning, the grand jury rendered a report of recommendations to the judge, Hon. John 31. Morris. In this report the jurors recommend the hiring of an expert accountant for the purpose of examining the books of all the township trustees in the county and sift what tottenness there may be to the bottom. Some are bold enough to charge corruption throughout the townships but this, of course, is merely a charge based possibly upon the finding of the alleged shortage last week. Mr Addison, when informed of the indictment against him, said:

"I am perfectly sure that all of my accounts will come out right in the end, and that I will be vindicated." fie will employ legal counsel to represent him. He eurrended himself to the sheriff and was formally arrested. He gave bond in the sum of 1,000 and was released. Sanford W. Compton, the former trustee of Henry township, gave bond for $1,500, just after his arrest. He had gone to the court bouse for the purpose of surrendering himself, and it was in the presence of his three brothers, James, Loring and Albert, that he was arrested. Brown and Gause were retained by Compton to defend him.

A Correction. By an unfortunate 'mistake in ' Tuesday's Journal the name

msr OS.lson" appeared for "Addison"

in the headline to the article concerning the indictments returned against former Township Trustees Compton and Addison, though the article proper gave the names correctly. Tiie name was written correctly in typewriting in the copy for the headings, but in the haste of setting it up the compositor misread the name, and not until the paper had been printed and mailed was the mistake discovered. W e regret this error, and hasten to make this explanation in

justice to James 51. Wilson, the

former trustee of this township. .
