Police Cooperate With the Fuel Ad-

In Use Sunday Here.

The request of the Federal Fuel
Administration that no automobiles
be used on Sunday except in case of
necessity was strictly observed in
Maysville this week. There were very
few machines seen on the streets here
and the saving in gasoline was large.
The local police co-operated with
the County Fuel Administrator by
taking the number of every machine
seen on the streets. They reported the
following machines out Sunday: 1922

PROMISED IMMUNITY, Wit.
NESS FAILED To SHOW UP
Cleve Sharp, Chief Witness for the
Defense in the Dresel Bastady
Case, Failes to Show Up
For the Trial.

At the trail of Walter Dresel on a
charge of bastardy in county court
several months ago, Cleve Sharp, a
former Maysville man but now resi-
dent of Cincinnati, was the chief wit
ness for the defense.
Shortly after his testimony in the
County Court, the Grand Jury of Ma
son county, then in session, returned
an indictment against Sharp charging
him with false swearing. The police
and sheriffs scattered all over the city
but evidently Sharp had gotten wind
of the Indictment and had left the
city unseen.
When the case was about to come
up in Circuit Court on appeal 1.-THE
Commonwealth granted Sharp inn
munity from arrest on this bench war
rant but when the case was called this
morning Sharp did not put in his ap-
pearance, evidently fearing arrest
even though the officers had granted
him immunity.

Final Report on the Findings Of tie
Expert Accountants Who Have
Been at Work Here viii Be
Given Mayor This Week.

The expert accountants who have
been at work on the city's books for
the past three weeks to ascertain e.
actly the amount of the alleged err
bezzlement of former City Clerk
George Wood Owens, completed their
work Saturday so far as the Over ,
matter is concerned.
One of the gentlemen returned TO
Cincinnati but the other will remain
here the most of this week going over
and checking up the treasurer's bool,s
as far back as possible and it is eX-
pected that the final report of tie
experts will be in the hands of Mayor
Russell before the close of this week
Although no official statement is
forthcoming from either the experts
or the city officials informed on the
findings as yet, it is feared from
trust worthy source that Mr. Owens
embezzlement will go almost to
$4,000 The exact figures will be given
the public, however, when the final
report is made to the city officials.
