ternoon following a confession which

ing Field
The complaint which caused
Browns arrest alleges the taking Of
thirty-nine dollars, the amount of q
district court fine which was collect
ed by him, but never turned over to
County Treasurer Swain.
The arrest of Brown is the result
of work done by Field, according to
statements made by Breckons and
Williamson, he having discovered that
a considerable amount OF money was
being paid into the sheriff's depart
ment which never reached the county i
treasury. His investigations led him
to believe that Brown was guilty and Ii
