Amman, bookkeper in ! Lmat'a county, was arrested iavino. swindied the C0Unty out padding of payrolls and the cashing of forged time checks. Just J how much money Amman" secured through his operations had not been ascertained this afternon but behind the story is a gel-rich-quick romance that is startling in its boldness. Amman was taken into custody late this afternoon after a warrant for his arrest had been secured from Justice Richards at Athena by C. Z. 'Randall, deputy prosecuting attorney. Mr. Randall in company with County Judge I. M. Schannep, who first learned of suspicious facts regarding the bookkeper, have worked on the case for two days and have been assisted in their probe by Roadmaster L. J. Shannon. It was discovered by the investigators that Amman has been making heavy .deposits at local banks almost ever since he en tered upon his duties last September. At times the deposits have run above .$1000 a month and the lowest month was $400. These heavy deposits from a man drawing a salary of $200 a month were regarded as suspicious and a check up showed that forged time checks had been used, it is said. One system alleged to have been practiced bv the bookkeep er ww .to insert an additional sheet of names in the road payroll , alter the roadmaster had nndnrgprl tho hnnnfirlo novrnll At Other times additional nnmo The check on which the warrant for Amman's" arrest was is sued was one made to George E. Barr. The name of Barr was endorsed on the check, presumably by Amman, and he had ! then endorsed the check himself. Mr. Earr denies he ever re ceived the warrant or had endorsed it. According to officials the fraudulent work was at times very carefully handled but at other times the bookkeeper grew careless and covered his plot very slightly. This forenoon Amman was sent on a mission tr Stanfiplrl nnrl a final search made during his absence confirmed the suspicion i of hm wrong doing. The warrant for the arrest was secured at Athena because Judge Parkes is -jii.oKla Inrira Vokannn .. u ness in the case. nuao ill uie tase. j A peculiar feature of the Amman case is that his alleged i fraudulent work was underway at the time the county books ! were audited in January and the doctoring of tho time sheets j and time checks was not discovered..
