Bradley, of State Bank Ex umber's Oi'Hce Finds Error, (VFhich, When Corrected, Leave No Shortage. (Special to The Herald and News.) | Columbia, June 24.?A recheck of! the books of the late County Treasur er Johu L. Epps, of Newberry, made by Assistant State Bank Examiner W. W. Bradley, practically eliminates the alleged shortage *which was charg ed up to Treasurer Epps after his death, and for which the bonding company paid the county of Newberry the sum of $2,162.15. At the time of the apparent short age, following a checking of the late Treasurer Bpps' books after his death more than a year ago, those who had known Treasurer Epps lutely confident .-'that there naa Deen I no wrong doing on his part, and their belief has teea: justified by the report filed by Assistant Bank Examiner Bradley. Mr. Bradley was in New berry checking the county officers generally, at the request cf the grand jury, and while engaged in this work took occasion to go back into the ac counts of Mr. Epps. "The time I spent V?n-hfli.r>r V(QUO hcOTI flTTITllO to have covered every detail of the current fiscal year's work in every department," says Mr. Bradley, "if I had not utilized the greater part o: it in reconciling the final settlement of John L. Epps, deceased, late county treasurer, I had kown the late treas urer ior some years, aim, him, I feit that it was unfair to his W0j/0t^ior the county to leave a stigma upon his good name when all right-thinking people believe that he died an honest man. This statement is made as an explanation of why I had to hurry through with my work there for the current year, which, un explained, would probably be misun-1 derstood. I may add, However, that my examination was absolutely thor ough touching the receipt and dis bursement of public funds througa the county offices named. "Attached hereto, marked Exhibit B,' will be found a statement whicn practically eliminates the shortage i charged up to the late Treasurer' Epps. I feel sure that if Treasurer Epps had lived to help make up this last settlement, the alleged shortage .1 would never have been charged up. j To settle the affairs of a dead manj who has handled hundreds of thou-J =9nrt? nf dollars of nublic funds, and1 do so accurately, is a difficult matter.' Those who made the settlement doubt-1 - less acted with all the light3 before; f them, and no blame should attach to' t them, but I feel sure that there is no! * i * man in the county of Newberry who! i will not justify the audit that in effect1 t locates and explains practically alii ci the alleged shortages." t * M *' ^ * * - i-A- TVfv* Pro/1 _ KXniDlt Jd UlliiClitu tu mi, iji?u | jj ley's report includes the following items: j r Shortage charged against ex- r Treasurer Jno.
