he left Office, being money he had re-
ceived from the various insurance
companies as fees for the privilege of
doing business in the state. His de-
fense was that he was not guilty of
embezzlement as a state officer. be-
cause he was not by law charged
with the collection aud safekeeping
of these moneys. the payment to him
being in accord with an old custom of
the Office. The supreme court holds
that the money he embezzled was not
the money of the state. but that of the
insurance companies AS the latter
enjoyed long since all of the privileges
this money was TO pay for, this means
that Moore will escape scot free.
