SONOMA WINS.
Halls BOndsmen Will Have to Paw
the r1oney That Is Short.

SANTA ROSA, March Judge
Dougherty late last evening handed
down a decision in the case of Sonoma
County against Gil p. Halls bonds
men, II. Lawrence and Louis Tomasini.
Suit was first brought against Hall. 1t
was to recover S1,1SS which it is
claimed Hall failed to account for as
fees received between March, 1892 and
January, 1893, while Hall was Auditor
Of Sonoma County. Judge Dougherty
decided against Hall, giving the county
Judgment for the amount asked for by
plaintiff.
In the closing paragraph of the opin-
ion Judge Dougherty, after reviewing
the testimony, says the shortage was
not the result of accident on the part
of Hall or from the dishonesty of any
of his deputies. One fee book of the
books of Halls office has been missing
a long time. The county hired three
experts to go over all instruments COW
ering the time when the book is sup
posed to have been required. The ex-
perts found the amount of fees that
should have been collected. Upon their
testimony the court largely relied in
finding the decision rendered against
Hall.
