with being a defaulter to large amount.

reason for not paying over the funds with
which they are charged, that they hold un-
paid claims against the State, which Cardozo
will not allow or give credit for in settlement.
Allen is charged with about $4,000, and
Eichelberger with about $4,000. Eichel-
berger was taken before Judge Carpenter on

Judge, in his decree ordering the discharge,
took the ground that while the Treasurer

to jail, inasmuch as no fraud had been shown
in the case, nor none even alleged as the ba-
sis of the Treasurer's action. Eichelberger
was discharged without being required to
give bail.
