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. . .
