l Advertiser Bureau, l Mobile. Oct. 13. | R. F. Manly of Birmingham state agent of the Fidelity Trust Company of Maryland. speaking today or 'he alleged shortage in the accounts or e. Tax Collector John Case. virtually ao, mitted that Examiner Rossen nao found shortage in the books. Three persons. he said. had examined the books, and each had different re- | ports Examiner sedberry had been | notified of what Examiner Rosson nad deduced from his labors, and has been asked to come here and go over the books again.
 Mir. Manly stated that he had only recently learned there were other ac- counts which were found wrong from time to time and which Mir. Case had been settling. Continued MT. Manly said: The book that is virtually the heart of the examination has mysteriousfy disappeared. This Is the abatement book for 1899. It has gone and no one seems to know when and where. It Is essential to both sides of the con- troversy"
 Diligent inquiry as to when 1t was last seen and in whose possession fails to develop anything
 MT. Manly stated that 1t was very probable that the case would end in the high courts of the State. for the Trust Company intended to make fight for what 1t thought are It's rights. The Auditor has made no demand upon my company yet. and I do not suppose he will until Mir. Case is given | reasonable time to adjust matters" said Mfr. Manly. There are three re- ports upon the condition of the books of ex-Tax Collector Case and all to differ. I do not think Mir. sedberry | will hold that his report Is right, since his attention has been called to certain matters. It. is very probable that the States action in the matter will be to get Judgment against Case in event of his failure to adjust matters. Then the State may look to the bond com pany. That will be the time to state what the bond company will do."
