Dim |. COX IN:WASHINGTON COUNTY.

JOHN |. COX lNsWASHINGT0N COUNTY.
ELSEWHERE in this issue will be found
the report Of County Attorney Baxter
in reference to the funds due Washing
ton county in the case of the American
National Bank ct al. VS.. The Carnegie
Land Co. ct al. in the Chancery Court
in this city. This was one of the big
gest law suits ever tried in this court
and involved hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The Carnegie Land Co. was
wound up as an insolyent corporation
after the boom. On account of the
many interests involved it required
several years of litigation. During
this period several thousand dollars in
taxes accumulated due the state, coun-
ty and city. In 1896, after the case had
been to the Supreme Court and the
rights of state creditors had been set
tied, some of the Law yers and creditors
were permitted to anticipate the
amounts adjudged to be due them by
giving refunding bonds to the Clerk
and Master, pending the final distribu-
ton of the funds. 1t seems from the
record in this case that Revenue Agent
John l. Cox collected the state and
county taxes in similar manner, as
the following order in minute book No.
+, page -, will show;
ORDER.
In this cause, upon the application
of the state of Tennessee, by its attor
ney and revenue agent, it is ordered by
the court, that the state of Tennessee
be permitted to borrow out sum equa
to the funds heretofore adjudicated IL
the decree of this court to be due thu
state of Tennessee ont of the funds nov
in the hands of the Clerk and Master.
In making said loan the Clerk anC
Master will take notes bearing interes
and with personal and undoubted secu
rity to be approved by the Clerk ant
Master, conditioned to be paid on tn
first day of the next regular term o
this court.
This order clearly shows that th
J state is permitted to borrow the amour
: due it, but did not authorize Mr.. Co
3 to withdraw any funds due Washingto
! county. 1t is evident, however, fror
7 Mr.. Baxter's report that he did &c
q some county funds and has retaine
s them for nearly ten years without tn
: knowledge or consent of the count
and in violation of law.
n The report was filed with the count
s court clerk on the 14th instant, and u
) to that time Gov. Cox had not reptile
3 to Mr.. Bakers letter of the 5th askin
a for information in regard to this matte
8 Perhaps it should be stated that the'
! taxes had been lost sight of, in sens
3 They had been taken out of the ordin
. ry channels OF collection and the tru
2 tee had been given credit as for 9th
y delinquent taxes. The trustee did n
3 know they had been paid and the clel
a and master supposed they had bee
u reported. In this way the matter dra
a ged along from December, 1896, uni
the April term of the county court
ID 1906, when this investigation was stal
81 ed, with the startling result as set for
u in the report. The amount can be al
is will be collected, but that will not g
y cuse Mr.. Cox for the objectionable d
lay in turning over the funds of Il
