TREASURER RUSSELL WILLING
Would Subscribe to Fund to Have
His Books Examined

County Treasurer Warning Russell Is
not only willing but even anxious to
have the grand jury's expert account
ant come around to examine his books.
Col. Russell says he is ready for the
examination at all times and is even
enthusiastic over the grand jury's ac-
ton.
When asked yesterday if he favored
the grand jury's investigation of the
books of county officers through the
medium of an expert accountant, Col
Russell said:
Most unquestionably 1 do. I think
it is right and proper. If in the opin-
ion of the grand inquest of the county
this examination should be made, |
Car see no reason why it should not
be made. AS for myself I am willing
to subscribe towards having my ac-
counts thoroughly examined, from the
day I took charge of the Office up to
date"
The grand jury's expert has not vet
been appointed, and the grand jury
seems to be in no especial hurry. The
court will not adjourn for the term
until the last of November and the
grand jury has months of service still
before it,

CARROLL IN A CELL THIS TIME
Diamond Thief Gave st. JOseph's
Hospital Enough Trouble.

Hospital Enough Trouble.
Charles H. Carroll, who escaped from
St. Joseph's Hospital a short while
ago while being held for the theft Of
his wife's diamonds, was captured on
Saturday at Florence. S. c., by Deputy
Sheriff Sweeney and is now safely in
the county Jail. The story of Car
rolls first arrest and the events lead
ing up to it are interesting.
On the morning of May % Carroll
reported at the barracks that his wife S
diamonds had been stolen. A search
for the missing jewels was immediate
~ instituted with the result that the
thief was found to be Carroll himself.
He had stolen the valuables and had
pawned them at two of the pawn shops
in the city, a diamond ring at Kas-
kells, and a diamond pin at f. Muhl-
bergs. He was forthwith taken into
camp, but his physical condition was
such as to warrant his confinement in
the infirmary.
The particular malady. from which
Carroll was suffering was delirium
tremens. He had to be confined at ST.
Joseph's in a room, the only article
of furnishing in which was a feather
mattress. On one occasion, during one
of his most violent attacks, he tore off
all of his clothing, and while in a pro-
fuse perspiration began to tear the
mattress up. The flying feathers chung
to him from head to foot, and when
the warden reached him he resembled
more than anything else a species of
ostrich.
Shortly afterward he escaped
through one of the windows, and was
not heard of again until when he was
recently located in South Carolina.
When his whereabouts became known
the grand jury returned two bills of
indictment against him charging him
with cheating and swindling. Chief
SWeeny went at once to Florence, S.
e., where he found him at work in
the shops of the Atlantic Coast Line.
