MR.. osBURN's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Osburn was seen relative to
this matter and insisted that his
former statements were practically
correct. He e very certain that
the missing money never passed
through has hands and that the
affair is as much of mystery to
him as it is to the public. He
thinks there will be some develop
ments in the next few months
that will throw some light on the
subject and, if he is not badly
mistaken, will completely exon
crate him. He says that the ST.
500 recently deposited with the
treasurer was paid under protest,
the county threatening to bring
suit. The following statement
was filed when the money was
paid:
