JUDGE GOLDSTON
ISSUES STATEMENT
Wants His and Books Of Other
Officials Audited by Expert
Accountant.

Expressing his belief that the
alleged shortage in the accounts
of his office would be cleared up,
declaring that he was not respon-
sible for same, and saying that
he was willing and anxious that
the books of his office and other
officials be audited by an expert
auditor, Hon. M. H. Goldston,
county Judge of Henry county,
gave out the following statement
Wednesday, following the action
of the county court at its session
on last Tuesday in asking him to
resign:
II have no desire to engage in
a newspaper controversy in re-
gard to the alleged shortage in
my office, but inasmuch as the
action of the county court at its
session last Tuesday, in suggest
ing to me that / should resign
my office because of this alleged
shortage, | feel that it is not
amiss that | make some state
ment in order that my friends
and the people of Henry county
may know my side of the matter.
Il am charged of being short
of collections on bonds for mis-
demeanors or fines taken as work
house cases, certified from cir
cult court and the justice of the
peace courts throughout the coun-
ty. | made every effort to secure
the payment of these bonds, and
in order to do this it was often
necessary that the bonds go out
of my possession, they having
been placed in the hands of the
sheriff and deputies in different
parts of the county, and these
officials were unable in great
many instances to collect same.
practically all of these bonds
have been returned to me and
are now in my possession. 1t is
not nv fault that they were not
,sdIu. 1,fI5 I5 Tie Fccz7ssy shortage
of which / am charged, and / am
confident that this will be cleared
up when the committee appointed
by the court Tuesday employs an
expert auditor, as they are au-
thorized to do, and believe that
when the general audit and sur
vey is made | will be exonerated.
Reports have been current
some time that was short in my
accounts. These reports. to my
knowledge, h ave placed the
amount of such alleged shortage
at from $4,000 to $4. 800, and now
| wish to ask the people of the
county not to condemn me until
| may have an opportunity to
clear up the matter. To this end
| am glad that the committee ap-
pointed has the authority to en-
ploy an expert auditor, as | am
willing and anxious that my
books be investigated and that
the whole matter be sifted to the
bottom. Until this is done | hope
the people of the county will
Withhold their judgment in regard
to the auditing of the books.
| will not for a single minute
say that any member of the COM
mittee which examined my books
would make a false statement in
regard to this matter, but | am
confident that mistake has been
made, and when | am vindicated,
as | most certainly expect to be,
| know that the members of the
county court and the people of
county will fully understand and
endorse my actions in refusing
to resign my office, thus admit
ting the charges when asked to
do so by the court on last Tues
day, July 6, 1915.
