THE JOHNSTON ACCOUNT

Suit was entered in the District SUI
preme Court yesterday by the District
Commissioners against John G. Parker
for $500. the amount involved in the now
famous wrongful voucher case which
was exposed by The Times last June.
Tie Commissioners plead that the $500
was paid for goods which never were
delivered. This is a new, and, perhaps.
the most significant CHAPTER in the his
tory of a case which has had many
vicissitudes. When the unlawful trans
action was first brought to light, dis
position TO ignore It was shown by some
District officials. Finally the facts went
before Federal grand jury. which. in
the Kindness OF its heart. and to the
establishment of the taxpayers Of the
District, declared Il could not return an
Indictment.
Commissioners Concerned.
Failing TO lodge criminal action. the
Commissioners concerned themselves
with the possibility of recovering either
the $500 or the goods. The action is
brought against John c. Parker for the
reason that the Commissioners believe
him TO be Immediately responsible Cor
the money Mr. Parker, who claims to
have acted without fraudulent intent.
