ing is made for the county's money,
and who would have authority to
insist that such accounting be made,
would quite evidently be worth
more to the county if costs of such
cases as that just completed could
be avoided.
There may have been naught in
the evidence to even indicate crim
inal intent, but there was much to
show that officials have been remiss
in their duties. The trial has arous
ed a more vigilant public which will
expect better reports in the future.
And compliance with the law in
giving regular and complete reports
of the county's business, as required
in the publication of county court
proceedings and semi-annual re
ports of the offices of clerk, treas
urer and sheriff, will alleviate much
suspicion and tend to re-engender
public confidence in its officials.
LEXINGTON
Handling the County's
Business.
THE jury has acquitted Gay M.
Anderson, county clerk, of the
charge of larceny of public monies.
He is now a free man, and it is with
no idea of adding to the tribulations
of Mr. Anderson that this newspa
per takes occasion to comment on
the matter.
The office of county clerk is such,
and the proper handling of the pub
lic's money is such, as to make some
comment on what was revealed in
the evidence a proper matter; and it
is only with the idea of looking to
the future betterment in the hand
ling of the county's business that
this is written.
The fact that the trial took place,
and the fact that there was evidence
produced showing lax conduct of
the county's business has aroused
comment on every hand. It was left
for the jury to determine the guilt
of the defendant under the charge
of the indictment, but the jury's ver
dict has not cleared the record with
respect to certain matters revealed
in the evidence.
On admission of the defendant
himself, the clerk's office was with
out record of transactions in which
he received monies for the county.
The law contemplates and the pub
lic may expect that accurate rec
ords of such transactions be kept
at all times. ,
It was also shown by the evidence
that county monies had been depos
ited in the "county clerk's" bank
account This account, it may be
said, was not the personal account
of Mr. Anderson, but an account
which he was permitted by the
court to keep for handling the bus
iness of his office. Under the pres
ent court, this account has been
done away with, and the clerk now
turns all county monies over direct
ly to the county treasurer. Thus
has been eliminated what was con
sidered an irregular procedure.
The evidence of the case was
quite convincing in regard to the
state's auditor uncovering records
of business which had not been re
vealed in other audits made to cover
a similar period. This leads to the
question whether the county has
had competent auditors on the job
in years past If they were com
petent, why did they not show the
things which DeLap's audit show
ed? But whether or not the past audi
tors were competent, the evidence
revealed that it would be far cheap
er for the state to audit the books
annually than for the county to se
lect its own auditor. A man who
can show whether proper account
