attorney generals bill is specific and
direct in its charges. as the following ex-
tract shows:
That the secretary wrong fully issued

large sums of money that should have
been paid to the treasurer; hat he had
four pages cut out of the cash book; that
he collected exorbitant prices from local
camps; that he allowed fraudulent
claim of SO, 900, and that the funds were
appropriated to their own use; that J. C.
Root and F. Q. Brsyton (then head clerk
caused to be filed in the state auditors
