charge of embezzeling county funds oc,
cupied the attention of the court from
Thursday afternoon until Saturday
night, aud a verdict of guilty was re.
turned by the jury.
The courtroom was crowded during

the jury would either disagree IT bring
in a verdict for acquittal.
Former county treasurer l.. L Butler
testified hat Paulson had admitted
having taken the money, and the testi-
mony of the public examiner was also
very damaging to the defense.
Palson's testimony was as damaging to
his cause as any the prosecution intro
duced. He admitted hat he knew
there was a shortage, and also admit.
ted having attempted to cover il up,
but denied having admitted that he had
taken the money.
