tax department carefully he never
would have been caught" declared
Attorney General Groesbeck Satur
day morning. There would have
been no way OF checking up hir
work Unless some bank or bono
brokerage concern started an inves
iigation. which would have been
highly improbable"
Charles O. Bell, former bookkeep
a in the county treasurer's ONCE,
testified that he found discrep'
Rncy Of 5000 In Kloka's records In
August. 1916. lie said he reported
The shortage 10 Edward +. Stein,
then treasurer, and 10 BENJAMIN Pei.
ham. county accountant, on the
evening OF the discovery.
Sept 30. Bell declared, deposit
covering the alleged shortage WAS
made. This was shown To the jury
by the prosecution. The court took
recess while the jury examined
the books.
The treasurers register showed
that 3j.T95 WAS deposited Sept 20,
and Kloka's books showed that only
s7s5 had been collected on that day.
The shortage was found in the
mortgage tax department. Bell de-
clared When the settlement OF the
$1,000 alleged shortage was made.
He'll said. Kloka deposited three
checks. one from the First and Old
Detroit National bank for $S.ss0.6O'
one personal check made by Theo-
dore Luce for $3.50. and another
check for $3.50 made by Keane, Hig
bic & Company.
The makers OF these checks have
all testified that the checks were
given Kloka In payment or bono
taxes. He'll declared they were used
10 cover the shortages in the mort
gage tax department and that no
record OF them in the bond depart
ment is obtainable.s
One technical point In favor OF
the defendant was noted by Senator
Murtha when Mr. Bell recognized
he initials OF Mr. Wucllner on one
Of the bank deposit slips for August
1916.
When Wuellner was on the stand
Friday. he examined these deposit
slips carefully and declared that
Kloka made ont and signed all oil
them. One Of the slips bore no
ones signature or initials, II devel'
oped in Saturdays testimony.
Senator Murtha asked the court
for the privilege OF cross-examininr
Mr.. Wuellner after he has compared
he books offered IN evidence by the
prosecution This was granted.

tor OF the English department at the

FARMERS CLUBS MEETING
agricultural Exoert Question to be
Discussed.

A meeting of all Of the farmers
clubs In the county has been called
for March IA, at the armory, it was
announced Thursday morning. One
purpose OF the meeting is to discuss
the advisability of employing county
agricultural expert, which has been
agitated here for some years.
The meeting will open at IL 80 d.
m, but it is planned to have a picnic
dinner at the armory just before the
meeting, and members are requested
to be present at 10:30.
In addition to the discussion ON the
agricultural expert, an interesting
program will be carried out.
Practically all of the progressive
farmers in the county are in favor of
securing the expert, but there are
Others who oppose it, or are at least
not interested. In the southern part
OF the county the sentiment in favor
OF the, expert is stronger than in the
northern part.
Statements by speakers at the re-
cent farmers institute, to the effect
that the extension work of the agri-
cultural college is found to be much
more effective in counties where there
IS an agricultural agent, have set
many OF the farmers to thinking and
nave done much to further the pro-
Ject of obtaining such an official.
The public is cordially invited TO

lowing is the program:
