ney For Probing.


ney For Probing.
Charleston. w. Va, May IL.
That j. o. McDermott, ex.sherin Of
Mason county, is Indebted to that
county the sum of $25, G31.09 is the
finding of Chief Accountant Everett
A. Dover, in his report TO State Tax
Commissioner Fred o. Blue. The
audit covers the entire period Of
Sheriff McDermott's term OF office.
and covers the tax settlements for the
years 1905-6-7-S; also payments from
the county treasury to M. McDermott
and his jailer during that period. The
finding also includes $18.9l354 the
balance still due from McDermott on
his 1909 settlement, or last year To
this the department had added inter.
est amounting to S2,S37.03.
The auditors call special attention
to the finding showing that the same
generations were credited to the
sheriff in more than one settlement,
and it is recommended that the prose
cutting attorney of Mason county in
stitnte an investigation to determine
IL the generations were fraudulently
used; also to determine the person or
persons causing the same to be i'm
properly used.
In addition to the above finding the
auditors show that Mr.. MeDermott
win also owe the county S3,014S9 on
discount allowed on taxes in the event
the Supreme Court holds this money
must be refunded to the county
One of the large items is $1,000
for road capitation taxes in Wago-
ner district, in the 1905 and 1906 set
Elements, not accounted for, while the
generations credited TO Sheriff Nc
Dermott in more than one settlement
amount to $1,129.59 This was ac-
complished through the use of the du-
plicate generation forms, in present
ing them several years apart.
1t is this feature of alleged fraud
that the prosecuting attorneys atten-
ton is called to by the tax commits
sioner who has filed a report of the
audits with the prosecuting attorney
and the county court of Mason county,
Among other items of discrepancy is
one in the Waggoner and Lewis dis
tricts road funds in 1908 settlement of
the 1907 taxes, amounting to $377 .46 +;
discrepancies in accounting for the
sheriff tax sales and redemptions,
amounting to $114,05; interest paid on
certain orders which were foated by
Sheriff McDermott amounting to $1S6,-
"a; commission received on discount
1905-6-7-S taxes amounting TO $l5O75;
correction of allowances made to
/ Sheriff McDermott on account of the
court house and Jail commissioner al
lowances to jailer, payments of jan
itor of the court house and jail,
amounting to $4,000; payment to the
sheriff for miscellaneous services,
such as serving notices, etc, amount
