THE way is becoming clear for full dis
closure of all the facts connected with
the robbery of the Treasurer of Auglaize
County. Myers failure on the 25th to
give bonds in the sum of $95, 900 forced
him to Jail and finally to confession, i'm
plicating j. 7. Smith, County Auditor,
as the person who, by persuasion, in
duced Myers to become a party for the
purpose of covering up defalcation,
Myers allowing Smith to bind and gag
him and rob the safe of what money was
remaining. From Myers confession it
appears that some months ago, while
temporarily absent from his office, his
safe was robbed of some $1,000 This
fact remained secret for while, then
a confdant was made OF Smith, who as.
sured Myers that he would fix matters"
so that affairs could be bridged over.
This led to the fraud of the pretended
robbery by unknown parties. Smith has
been arrested.
