Sues Raby and Bond Company.

An echo of the Raby embezzle.
ment case was heard when suit was
begun by Whitman county against
Charles G. Raby and the United
States Fidelity q Guaranty com
pany, corporation, in the sum of
$4,000, Wednesday. This is the
amount of the bond furnished by
the surety company on behalf of
Charles Gilbert Raby, when the
latter was elected county auditor,
in 1900, and assumed charge of the
office in January, 1901 Raby en-
bezzled large sums of money from
the county, and was convicted, and
is now serving sentence of eight
years in the penitentiary.
The particular charge on which
he was convicted was the cashing
Of warrant issued to the American
Bridge company for the sum OF
$1753, and using the money, The
American Bridge company sued
Whitman county for the value of
the warrant, and after fighting the
case through the superior and SUI
preme courts, secured judgment for
little more than $4,000, which in
cluded the costs in the case. The
supreme court ordeaed a warrant
drawn in favor of the bridge COM
pany for the amount. The county
is now suing the bond company to
recover it's losses, because of Raby,s
dishonesty.
John Pattison has been employed
as special counsel by the county
commissioners, to bring the suit
against the bond company. Copies
of the complaint were sent to Walla
Walla to be served on Raby, in the
penitentiary, and to Seattle, to be
served on the general western agent
of the bond company, at the head
quarters there.
