Amounts Not on Record.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, May 12.-In receiv

urer j. Marsh Wilson had made over
charges in a number OF instances on delin-
euent taxes collected, and in several in
stances he made restitution. usually to the
amount OF 50 cents in each case. People
would come in and learn that they were
marked delinquent. In each case Treasurer
Lee would ask them to bring in their re-
ceipts
In fifteen cases the receipts were brought
in showing that the money had been paid,
but the books did not show the proper
credit. These persons paid in sos 40 and
Lee notified Wilson's bondsn1en that he
would have to have the money or would
begin suit on the bond The amounts in this
Est Of fifteen persons range from $107 to
$500 Ex-Treasurer Wilson was called
into the treasurer's Office this morning and
asked for an explanation. He said he
could give no explanation except that they
were errors.

OF the Office prevent anything like an &C
curate investigation OF the exact amount of
the discrepancies. The stubs OF the de-
lnquent tax book receipts have entirely dis
appeared. and this fact compiicates the

it, There is some prejudice existing here

you to wait until next winter when the
