school investigating committee invaded
Somerset County late this afternoon. In
the inquiry into the rural districts the COM
rnittee discovered transactions on the part
of certain men in authority which it is ex-
pected will lead to several indictments.
Former Prosecutor Freger testified before
the committee late this afternoon that he
had made an investigation of the financial
affairs of the school board of Warren
township and found that the business of
the board was loosely conducted, and that
John D. Bornman, the custodian OF the
school funds had received 1920 from the
state schoo, fund. and other sources, of
which he had no record. The witnesses tes-
tilted that Bornman kept no books of ac-
counts of his receipts and disbursements,
although he handled thousands of dollars
each wear. His only records were his check
books. and in some instances the stubs in
these had not been filled out.
Mr.. Freger said he had finally obtained a
report of the moneys received by Bornman
for school purposes from the state records
and from the banks in which Bornmad had
deposited the school funds.
