Richardson and
Drager Talks
Are Described
(Continued from par 1)
He took a fling at the bookkeep
ing system in the office saying an
effort was made to keep a double
entry system of be jks and, he said,
the Jury would be convinced by the
evidence that some of the shortage
was due to bookkeeping errors.
"A very peculiar system of books
was kept," he said. There have
been some things going on not only
in the treasurer's office but In other
county offices which are very pe
culiar and may account for some
of the shrotage." Here he brought
out the manner of advancing on
salaries which, he said, bad been
done long before the present treas
urer was In the office. Salary ad
vances were kept track of in a little
book he stated.
He also charged that the treas
urer's office ran a banking business
by which a county official would
leave cash with the treasurer and a
county check would be written out
for the amount, "which would have
been all right," he said, "If they had
kept track of It, But they never
made an entry of such transactions
and hundreds of these checks were
written for anyone who came in but
no one can tell if they ever got the
cash for the checks and no entry
was ever made. This all may have
been all right If there had been no
shortage but there was a shortage."
He also charged they ran a bank
ing 'business with their personal
funds and that numerous checks
were written by Richardson for gro
cery accounts, gold assays and other
purposes.
During his argument Marsh spoke
of Richardson's mode of living, that
he had lived here many years, was
76 years of age, always bore a good
reputation, had no bad habits, lived
simply without even an automobile.
His salary started at $75 a month
In the treasurer's office and was
gradually Increased to $115. Outside
of that he had very little Income, he
said, except some help from the chil
dren. "He had no bad habits but one,"
said Marsh, "he was bit by a bug
the gold mining bug." He said over
a period of years' It would be
shown he had invested around $7,
000 in a gold mine in Washington.
He said Richardson had also got
Interested in a mine in Grants
Pass with Charley Archerd and
others including Treasurer Drager
and had Invested $800 in that mine.
He also told of grubstaking a man
tn Oregon and helping others in
Washington in prospecting ven
tures to what extent, the prosecu
tor said he didn't know. He said
he probably helped eight . or .10
prospectors there. Earlier he was
interested In a mine In California
he said.
Mining Returns Small
He further said Richardson had
told him all he ever took out of
his mining ventures was $300. He
told of his being further interested
in a fruit development in South
America. He said Richardson bad
told him his home expenses ran
around $70 a month. He said the
records showed that county checks
were drawn In payment of some of
these prospecting ventures and
that he "habitually wrote county
checks for Investment In gold
mines. - -Marsh
further told of the confer
ences had with Richardson and
Drager in the presence of others
after the audit report was made,
At first, he said, Richardson told
him that only bookkeeping errors
had been made and that there was
no shortage. Later, he said. Rich'
ardson admitted there were short
ages, that he had been familiar
with them for years and that he
had covered them up. But, he In
sisted, he had taken no money.
He said that aa the shortages grew
he became suspicious of the trea
surer and kept a secret tab on the
situation to see how it came about
but did not find out. -Heated
Argument Recalled -He
also told of an argument be
tween the treasurer and deputy at
one of the conferences -which he
said became very heated and that
Drager demanded to have Rich'
ardson tell him of any time when
he had told Drager of the short
ages and that Richardson said
there had been a number of times,
but, said Marsh, he could not spe
cify any particular time. He said
that Drager had insisted all along
that .he had known nothing of any
shortages, nothing of the books
falling to, balance and nothing of
date changes being made on back
of vouchers until the audit report
was made and still Insisted to the
same effect.
Marsh explained at length the
alleged "rolling" of vouchers as
had been revealed In the report so
It would appear that checks cash
ed, in January had been paid in
December, a method which It was
said had concealed the shortage
from the regular year-to-year audi
tors and was found only when the
state auditors went Into an exten
sive survey of the books . over , a
period of years, Richardson, how
ever, he said denied be had
changed any dates on the vouchers.
In referring to the statement
that Richardson had kept a secret
tab on bis employer as heretofore
referred to, he said Richardson
told him that be bad kept track of
the shortages from year to year in
one of his private books. The last
few days In December be knew how
much of a falsification bad to be
made of the records so be could
make up the vouchers to some of
the taxing districts. Marsh said
Richardson told-him. - -
