connection. with his position with the
board he acted as school agent and
handled all the money OF that body.
All the money received from the collec-
ton of reNts, interest on investments
and dividends on state taxes, were
handled by Graham, On June II
County superintendent A. I. Bright
gave Graham his check for $4,000
which the board required to be depos-
lifted With the city treasurer upon
whom all vouchers are drawn ia pay
mCnt of bills against the school board.
Instead of depositing this check with
the city treasurer Graham took it TO

tied it to his account rs school agent,
On June % Graham drew his check for
and deposited with the city treasurer
to the credit of the state the tax divi-
dends The balance of the $4,000 he
kept for his own use.
At the last meeting of the board Of
education Graham failed of reelection
as secretary. President Harris of the
school board soon after this intimated
to Graham it would be necessary to
have the books examined by an expert
merely as business proposition,
Graham objected to this and said he
did not want them examined. This
confirmed the suspicious which Harris
had entertained for sometime as to the
condition of Graham's accounts and
he ordered aa expert accountant to eX-
anime the books and Tuesday the
shortage developed.
Graham left letter with his wife,
addressed to whom it may concern.
This letter is statement of the
property owned by Graham ostensibly,
but in reality in his wife's name, with
power of attorney and authority to
convey the property for the purpose of
linuidating his Indebtedness The
amount of property to be turned over
by Mrs Graham will not amount to
over $4,000 1t is supposed that stock
speculation was the cause of Graham s
downfall, as it is known he was oper-
ating quite heavily.
