Before handing over the presi-

Phoenix, Ariz, June lO.-Ole OIL

Clark, formerly deputy land COM
missioner, was dismissed by JUS
tice of the Peace Nat T. Mckee to-
day and preliminary hearing on
the other four were continued un-
til July 7, by agreement OF poth
defense and prosecution.
The charge against Clark that
was dismissed alleged that he had
unlawfully withheld records be-
longing to the office of the deputy
state land commissioner from MS
successor in the state office. 1t
was on this charge that Clark had
been before Justice Mckee for a
preliminary hearing since Tuesday
morning.
Two Of the remaining complaints
against Clark charge him with
having failed to turn over to his
successor certain funds belonging
to the land department, and the
other two charge him with mlsap-
preparation of public funds.
Justice Mckee sustained a mo-
ton of the defense to dismiss the
first complaint on the ground that
no evidence had been Offered to
show that a crime had been com
mitted. Judge Mckee also said
that the state had failed to show
that Clark had any motive Tor
Withholding the records.
In dismissing the case, Judge
Mckee declared that he would not
accept the testimony of c. c. kells,
cashier of the state land depart
ment, concerning the change ac-
count" conducted by the land de-
partment in local bank, as ex-
pert testimony. 1t was in connec-
tion with this account that Clark
was alleged to have withheld the
records. Judge Mckee said Wells
testified the account balanced
within ten cents, in part OF his tes-
timony, and at another point de-
clared there was a shortage OF
s99.4O in the account. .,...
Both the state and defense an
nounced their intention of having
the books of the "change account
audited by an expert accountant.
