counts to the extent of approximately j a
$24,000. He was under bond in the j
sum of 820,000. It is stated that the j d
bonding company has agreed to pay n
the >'4.000 balance, if the State will h
establish in Court that this amount of I a

the $24,000 shortage occurred during ! ^
the previous terms of office. The 1
