.BANTEL SUED BY
STATE FOR FUNDS
First Action to Determine if
Late Treasurer Was Liable
Is Begun
100000 Missed From City's
Golfers Basis Of This
Hearing

The first of the suits to determine
whether Charles A. Bantel is RESPONSE
BILE for the $4,000 that disappeared
from the city treasury during his in
cumbency of the office was brought to
trial yesterday. when Judge Seawell
heard testimony in the action instf-
tuted by the state against Bantel and
his surety, the Aetna indemnity COM
pany, for the recovery of $14,162.92.
The sum sued for represents the
states share of the s37,572.79 of United
Railroads taxes left with the superior
court in 1903, pending judicial de-
termination whether the money was
due.
The $4,000 that vanished from the
treasury during 1906-1907, while Ban
tel was treasurer, has never been
traced. Responsibility for the short
age, or at least part of it, has been
traced to j. j. Tomalty, book Keeper
under Bantel, who has been convicted
of falsifying the records of the office.
No evidence that Tomalty got any OF
the money was produced at his trial,
however, and he has never made a
statement involving anybody else in
the theft
According to Attorney Raymond
Benjamin, who, with Robert w. Harri-
son, is appearing for the state In the
case against Bantel, some new records
will be introduced, but Benjamin says
all he will try to prove is that the
money was turned over by McDougald
to BanteI, when the latter took office,
January s, 1906. and that Bantel
neglected TO redeliver it to McDougald
upon his assumption of the office on
January s, 1908. If the state wins the
suit it will not mean that Bantel is
criminally liable, but that either he
or his surety must make good the
amount His bond is in the sum of
100000.
The sum originally paid into court
by the United Railroads, November IS,
1903, was S364,572.79, and William M.
Abbott testified yesterday that he left
check for that sum, payable to
Judge Seawell, with the court.
James r. McElroy and Edward
Casey, deputies under County Clerk
Greif, testified that the check for
s364,572.79 was deposited with the
treasurer, and a. s. Levy, another
deputy, said he remembered with
drawals of s133.0O0 AMI $4,000, in
accordance with Judge Seawells order,
leaving, as he said, about 100000
with the treasurer.
The trial will be resumed today.
James G. Mcguire is the attorney for
Bantel, and Hartley Peart represents
the Aetna indemnity company. Peart
briefly cross examined the witnesses,
but the line of defense that Will be
raised was not developed.
