Fletcher Asks State Auditor for New
Bond.
State Auditor Horace F. Graham has
received a communication from Govern
or Fletcher calling on him to furnish
new bond as Wel as Treasurer Deav
lit. His bond, for $4,000, is in the
American Fidelity company of Mont
pelier. Mr.. Graham has no comment
to make. The mandamus proceedings
started by Governor Fletcher against
State Treasurer Edward III. Deavitt to
annul his bond and compel him by
proceedings to furnish new surety in
the penal sum of 100000 it is believed
will open the question, during the
taking of testimony, of establishing
the solvency, of the American Fidelity
company, which is expected to have
great bearing on the issue. President
Charles II. Darling of the Fidelity
company said today: ''The company
is solvent. This is our opinion and
the opinion of insurance experts"
