wrong in so doing by inducing a coun-
ty officer to violate the law by not
issuing an execution on him for them.
The county attorney. however. ex-
planned his course on the ground of
the depression and said that he was
not able to pay the taxes. He by his
explanation sought to exonerate the
county officer of all blame.
