Sheriff Brewster Takes Up Matter of Settlement With
 State Officials.
MOOSE WILL DECIDE
Aiiidayits of Bank Officials and State Bank Commissioner Show Sheriff Not to. Blame for the
 Delay.

Little Rock, Sept. 15-Sneriff Edgar Brewster of Jefferson county called at the state capitol today and made an appeal to State Auditor L. l.. Golf man that he be not adjuGed delln- quent in paying to the state the an nual taxes charge against him. He says the delinquency is due to no ure of the bank in which the lunGs were deposited.
 As permitted by statute, Sheriff Brewster had on deposit for safe keeping in the Bank Of Pine Bluff the following funds due the state: State general $10,267.34, state school $47,194. 40, state capitol $1,9S0.04, state sinking fund $6.62, state pension fund $23,597 .62, state liquor license $50 state automobile license $350 S1, mak- ing a total of SS3,556.7S. In addition to this there was on deposit the sum of 57,S37.S6, due the schools of lief ferson county, making the aggregate amount held by the bank to the creuii of the sheriff $141, 1,394.64.
 The Bank of Pine Bluff was taken in charge by the State Bank Commis- sioner July }, 1914, and is still in his charge, the Jefferson county funds being still held by the bank to the credit of the sheriff. On July Il 1914, Sheriff Brewster made a written demand on the bank for the payment of the balance of $141,39464, which was refused by the officers of the bank, J. A. Mcdonnell president, an6 w. c. Hudson cashier, also by R. E Pugh, special deputy bank commits sioner. On July IF, the special com. missioner certified that Sheriff Brewster had on deposit at the time the bank failed the balance he had demanded, of which $S3,555.7S repre- sents the amount due the state ac- cording to the settlement approved by the Jefferson county court on Sept 10, 1914.
 On September 8, the sheriff insti- tuted suit against the Bank of Pine Bluff and its stock holders to recover the funds, which suit is now pending and it is his intention to prosecute the suit with due diligence until the funds are repaid. He declares thai he lis informed and believes that saiG bank and its stockholders are fin ancially responsible ana ap1e to pay said sum sued for and that same car be collected from by process of law
 These facts being considered, the collector asks that he be not adjudg- ed delinquent, that the statutory pen. alties be not assessed against him and that process provided by statute shall not be direct against him or his bondsmen until he shall have beer given reasonable Opportunity to col lect said funds"
 Up to AttOrney.General. Sheriff Edgar Brewster returned last night from Little Rock, where ht

asked, Why did you kill my hus- band?' The Germans did not wish to answer, and one remarked, Ger mans don't kill people for nothing'
 Ut appeared that the commandant demanded the money from the trea- sury. My husband replied that the half-million roubles of paper money had been destroyed by him and bills and stamps spoiled by acids.
 T asked permission to bury my husband but this was refused, and he was inferred in a common grave.
 "The Germans shot the police in spector, Kostenko, and many other officials, burying them all together. From the Tuesday to the Saturday l remained in Kalisz. After fearful orgies the Germans by degrees left the town.
 "On the Friday night shots rang out all the time. Our house shook. A mist of gunpowder smoke overhunS the town. Fires broke out and the shrieks of women and children rent the air. In the morning the shooting ceased.
 "They told me that during the night the Germans had placed ten Russians one behind the other, and with jeer- inf cries of See our hard our bullets strike! fired at the hapless victims" /"
