New Orleans, Sept. IA defal-
cation in state tax collections which
the police tonight announced amount
ed to at least s1O7, 600 and might
reach 100000, was discovered today
in the books of Charles Il. Letten,
chief clerk to John Fitzpatrick, state
tax collector of the First district in
New Orleans Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who
was formerly mayor of New Orleans,
has announced that he will make good
whatever the shortage may be. Leten
who is IS years old, for nineteen years
has been one of the most trusted men
in the department. Up to tonight the
police have been unable to get a trace
of what was done with the money. Mr
Fitzpatrick, after examining the books,
said the shortage appeared to have
begun four years ago and to have been
hidden by using delinquent taxes and
the current year taxes to cover up the
deficit in the previous year. Four days
ago Mr.. Fitzpatrick called for the final
statement of the 1906 taxes earlier
than his chief clerk had prepared to
make it. Letten worked with Mr.. F'itz-
patrick two days helpinE prepare this
statement and yesterday suddenly left
the Office under plea that he must see
a doctor. Mr.. Fitzpatrick found that
Letten had not gone to the doctor AMI
Immediately opened the chief clerks
