~, but at the investigation made by Gov.
Van SAINT, Ducius admitted that he had
never seen the certificates which he was
supposed to have in his possession when
asked for the refundment. GriswoId
commended that he had seen them, and
his tatement had to be accepted.
In the two certificates found yester-
day, Commissioners Lott and Whitehorn
attested to the regularity of the pro-
ceedings attending the petition asking
for their refundment. Commissioners
Lott and Whitehorn were members of
the county tax committee, and accord
ing to Gen. Pope. approved the payment
of money on instruments they never saw.
They never made the examination re-
quired by law.
GEN. POPB'S CONTENTION.
Said Bank Examiner Pope last night:
nave all along held that the GER
tfhcateS claimed to have been nnisIaid
were never surrendered. Two of them
have come forward to support my con-
tention, and others will follow. The
investigation / made covered only one
month, but was sufficient to bring to
light no less than thirteen certificates,
of which no account has been given.
What thorough investigation of Mr..
Johnson's books would do is conjectured.
1t would take time and money and
might add heavily to the gross irreg-
ularities that have already been shown
The two certificates are now in the
possession of County Attorney Kane,
and thorough investigation will be
commenced Monday for the purpose of
finding the party or parties who are now
enjoying county money by claiming to
be the lawful owner of the certificates,
Gen. Pope says their prosecution will
have to come from the county attor-
ney. Any information that he is in, pos
session of concerning the alleged deals
he will cheerfully supply.
