IT IS ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES IN ACCOUNTS EXIST IN THE
 COUNTY ACCOUNTS.
GRAND JURY IS CHARGED
Report of Audit Instituted By Com missoners of Accounts Is Turned Over to Grand Jury By Circuit
 Judge to Find Out Guilty Ones.
Marion.-


 Nearly all collecting and disbursing officials of Crittenden county were placed under fire when Circuit Judge w. J. Driver submitted to the grand jury an audit of the county books, along with a report by the commis- sioners of accounts, appointed by him at the last term of court for the pur- pose of Investigating alleged irregu- larities in accounts of county off cials.
 The gist of the report by the com .misioners lies in the following para graph:
 Whether or not the money of the taxpayers has been wickedly, wanton- ly and by device and strategem ex- tracted from the public treasury with out right we do not say. But we do say that existing conditions as ex- hibited by said report ought to be remedied, and the power to remedy same, in our opinion, is lodged sole ly and alone in this court"
 The report then charges that "the county judge has purchased three au- tomobiles during the last three years and that the county has paid for ity in the laws of this state for such an expenditure"
 It is also charged that an irregular ity of $587.04 exists in the accounts of the county court. The report says: "The claims presented were allowed by the court in the total sum of $5S704 more than the claims called for. Why they were allowed or upon what theory they were allowed is a collosai mystery to us. We know or no law authorizing the county judges to allow a claim for more than it calls for or for more than the claim ant is entitled to, yet in all of the in- stances mentioned in the public ac- countant's report more money was al- lowed to the claimant than the amount of the claim, and the county paid for 1t"
 In this report the commissioners of accounts say in regard to the audi tors report, it deals with number of other irregularities and discrep- ancies in the accounts of officers, to which the attention of this court Is not specially called, but which, in our judgment, demands crucial investiga- tion, as well as those whom we have seen fit to specifically mention.
 "In our opinino, the attention of the grand jury to the matters and things recited in said report is warranted"
