JUSTICE COLLINS ORDERS THAT THE MISS
ING BOROUGH COLLECTOR BE
INDICTED AND THE MAYOR
e,.rr 4, A
INVESTIGATED

Atlantic Highlands. oct (SpecaD Justice
Collins charged the Monmouth County Grand
Jury at the opening Of the October term at
Freehold this afternoon that Charles Desch,
Seabrght's missing collector. should be indicted
as an embezzler. and that Mayor Packers dis
position of borough funds should be nvesti-
gated The report Of Commissioner Stevens was
the basis of the charge The text Of the charge
is as follows:
There has been an investigation under the
order Of the Court into the affairs ~ the Bor-
ough Of Seabright and an expert was appointed
under the statute who has reported 10 inc
Court. and his report has been filed ana pup
lshed i'm the newspapers and copies are IN
the hands of tha Prosecutor The report shows
laXness in matters of administration. Ihere
seems 10 be growing tendency IN thar dfec-
tion among our municipalities that ought TO lie
checked.
In this case there IS also clear evidence. If
the report of the expert IS Well founded, that
the collector of the borough has embezzled
some Of the funds He has disappeared some
think he les dead but that is only conjecture
He last seen going TO New-fork. As IL
stands he seems 10 be- an absconder II the
proof that viii be laid before ~ shall he or the
character indicated by the expert In his report,
there should be an indictment against MN Ior
embezzlement You cannot take the testimony
that was given before the expert as evidence
It will do no more than furnish guide II you
wish TO use II for that purpose. but your acton
must be based upon evidence.
In this same connection there seems 70 De
some ground for inQuiring into the conduct oi
the Mayor He assumed 10 collect licenses for a
very considerable amount-some hundreds or
dollars do not find I'm the borough la" any
authority for him 20 DO II Is the duty oI
the collector 70 collect license fees but follow

Mayor. ! presume because he signs the licenses

the self constituted agent for the borough. Now,
if he had right To- collect #. Of course IL was
his duty Immediately to turn it over to the col

months and then the checks were dlshonored
II As claimed 10y him that all money has been

matter-the legal aspect Of t-and have reached
the conclusion that perhaps the safer course
and most for the public welfare Is 10 conclude
that he was acting for the Collector by ac-
quicscence. All the necessary inquiry into II IS
whether he paid the Collector These checks
are dishonOred They were held for a good
while He says they were paid. The expert IS
Of the opinion that that was not established.
That ought 10 be examined. OF course, II ne
converted this public money to his own use and
has not paid It, then he should be indicted FOR
embezzlement Your own oath that you have
