Tells of Talk With Auditors On direct examination Richard son toidvvof being called to .the county judge's office' to meet the state auditors who last November , reported having found a shortage in the treasurer's office. He waa entirely unprepared to make any statements he said and didn't want to , incriminate himself or anyone else. "1 hadn't consulted Drager," he explained, "and didn't know what kind of a defense he wanted to put up. He was treasurer and was the man who should have re ported the shortage years ago and not me." :. The state audit probably is cor- rppt it far na ft fa nnaafhla tn mtVo It but, Richardson declared, "there will always be a doubt in my mind as to the correctness . . though I have no way to prove it." Later he declared on cross-ex amination that he was "not satls- fied" there is any shortage al though I kept the books." The morning session opened with presentation of checks on county funds written by Treasurer Drager, which by agreement be tween the attorneys were permit ted to be identified by Richardson as issued for private purposes. One check was for $6624.62, dated March 10, 1938, which Richardson said was part of a transaction in which Drager and : his-; brother. Rue, sold property they had owned in Portland. Richardson -said he understood the money was put in the . treasury and the check then written. - A large n umber of .Drager checks were Introduced by Prose cutor Marsh, over defense objec tions, and similarly identified by Richardson. They were for mining deals, in large part, the defendant indicated. . . .
