SANTA ROSA, March Judge
Dougherty late last evening handed
down a decision in the case Of Sonoma
county against Gil p. Halls bondsmen,
II. Lawrence and L. Tomasini. Suit was
first brought against Hall. 1t was to re-
cover $11SS which it is claimed Hall
failed to account for as fees received be-
tween March. 1892, and January, 1893,
while Hall was auditor of Sonoma
county. Judge Dougherty decided
against Hall, giving the county judG-
ment for the amount asked 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 on the books OF
Halls office has been missing long
time. The county hired three experts
to go over all instruments covering the
time when the book is supposed to have
been required The experts found the
amount of fees that should have been
collected Upon their testimony the court
largely relied in nding the decision rem
dered ageinst Hall. There Is another
suit pending against Hall for the amount
alleged to be due the county from him
for and collected in other parts OF his
