In regard to the charges presented
against Sheriff J. H. Harvell by you, "a
copy of said charges having been for
warded to the sheriff by me sometime

From the report as given to me by
Mr.. Mathews, and filed in my office,

the Treasury by Mr.. Harvell. / hereby
dismiss the charges against the sheriff

Irregularities and seeming overcharges
amounting to sioi.75 but that these ir-
Irregularities are Of such a nature and
character that the Auditor thinks there
will be no method of collecting same,

pert testimony taken down at the re-
quest of the Auditor was never trans

charges one at time, but such being

know what Sheriff Harvell told him.
On the 10th day of August. 1913 1

the testimony and had not been seen
or heard of since, and understood
he carried off all the testimony and
exhibits in evidence in this case. and
asked Governor Cats to write me and
advise me in the premises at once
And further, there was also a most
unusual procedure ijected into this
investigation by Mr.. Mathews accord
ing to the written instructions shown
me by Mr.. Mathews given by Cover
nor Cats, in which he was instructed
by the Governor to proceed to Milton
at once and make a thorough inves-
tigation OF the charges made against
Sheriff Harvell. Mr.. Mathews Injected

There is. and could not be any OBJ

OF this or any other county, autT1oriz-
ed by the administration, and carried
out by the proper authorities at the
proper time as all officials who are

when It becomes necessary, and II
found Improperly handling the same,

Dear SIR
/ have your letter of recent date tell
ing me that Mr.. Mathews has filed
with you the testimony taken before
him on the 5th day of August
in regard to the charges made
by you against Sheriff Harvell. I note
that you think all the charges against
him have been proven. Mr. Mathews
takes an adverse position from this
and says that they are not proven but
he hiss not had his notes put into
writing as he cannot find the steno-
grapher who took the notes down.
also note that he finds your accounts
behind with the state for good man,
dollars as well as some other officers
in your county. As soon as he sub

1t will be sean from the letter above

he could not find the stenographer who
took the notes down. / say, Mathews
did know where this stenographer WIS.

train and said he came to see Sheriff
Harvell and must see him that night,

5000 more.
It will be seen from this whole af-

citizens OF this county square deal.
