Full Text
The committee reported that within a period of less than two years the Treasurer paid to the Auditor on account of his salary allowances and fees the sum of $17,772.42, which was $10,463.37 more than he was legally entitled to draw. Many of the fraudulent warrants purported to be for supplies for the county, when in fact no such supplies were received. Coleman was rearrested this afternoon on two more additional charges of embezzlement on warrants and arraigned before Justice Blackburn, and his hearing set for next Monday.
