Clarence Thompson Appears
Before Judge Kelly at Spe
cial Session of Circuit
Court Last Wight
SYSTEM IS BLAMED
FOR HIS DOWNFALL
Practice of Advancing Salaries
Held Responsible .for .
Grand Jury Indictment
Two years in the penitentiary
a"hd a parole wtre handed to Clar
ence W. Thompson, former teller
in the state treasurer's depart
ment, when he appeared before
Circuit Judge Percy II. Kelly at a
special session of the court last
night, to be. sentenced for larceny
of $930 of state funds. Thomp
son will be taken- to the peniten
tiary the latter part, of this week
to be photographed and have his
bertillon records taken, under the
law enacted by the 1923 legisla
ture. Practice of the treasury depart
ment under the late O. P. Hoff
and former State Treasurer Jef
ferson Myers in advancing salaries
to state officials and employes was
blamed by Thompson as being re
sponsible for his ari-est and indict
ment by the grand jury.
Others Drew Money,
While Treasurer Myers was In
office, Thompson said, Alexander
Hamilton, another employe in the
office, had drawn a full month's
,n advance and ave n a8
slgnment. The money was paid
back.. ;At one time, according to
Thompson, Governor Pierce was
indebted to the department for
approximately $1100, but that this
was covered by the proper assign,
ment and was repaid. Thompso
said he expected to pay back the
money through salary assignment1
but had lost his position before.
he was able to make good the
money.
Nearly all of the pioney he took .
went to pay for medical treatment
for his wife, Thompson told the
court, j' He said that a few i days
before his indictment by the grand
Jury he had returned approximate
ly $1020, covering the amounts of
his defalcations and Including
$100 to' cover another shortage
which could not be explained by
present employes in the office.
Witnesses Coiled
Accusations that others has also
transgressed have nothing to do
with the case at issue. Judge Kelly
told Thompson, impressing upon
him that be would be expected to
conduct himself In a lawful' man
ner and refrain from further vio
lations of any statute under the
terms of the! parole. John Car
son, district attorney, made" no
recommendations regarding the
parole; which was asked by John
McNary, his attorney.
