as a personal tribute. paid a mason

deyolyed for the proper systematiza-
ton OF institutional accounts and the
auditing thereof.
"The writer Is informed that many
employees or so-caled auditors from
the auditor generals office have Wis
tied this institution for the purpose
OF auditing and examining the ac-
counts thereof. but il Is a fact that
since the misappropriation OF funds
OF the institution and its inmates
was begun by Mr.. West not one sin
gle so-called auditor from the auditor
generals office has properly dis
charged his duties, as, otherwise, IL
would have been discovered that Mr.
West was short his cash accounts.
1T is also fact that. since the
beginning OF the employment ON Mr..
West by the institution as clerk in
1902. an adequate or practical system
af accounting has not been in effect
at the institution nor do comprehen--
sive or even approximately correct
statements setting forth the results
OF its operations appear TO have been
rendered.
1T is said that professional audit
ors and accountants have been en-
ployed by the state TO accompany
Legislative investigating committees
to this institution on various occa-
sions. but they apparently did not
ascertain Just exactly what the ac-
tual conditions were in regard to it's
finances and accounts, and, in fact,
not one OF these professionals or
state auditors appears 10 have ever
undertaken 10 even reconcile the
cash and bank accounts OF the insti-
tuition with its books. which should
have been the first concern OF an
auditor who was concerned In the
proper discharge OF his duties"
Mr.. Higgins incorporated in his re-
port a statement relative 10 the all
legged confession made by West prior
to his Arrest. The statement follows:
"At meeting OF the members OF
the board OF control early in March.
1921. Alfred West confessed to having
misappropiated funds OF the institu-
ton amounting 20 about $4,000 and
promised To aid the auditor in iden-
tifying the items making up the
shortage. He was succeeded imme-
diately in his position by Arthur T..
Anderson. who, at that time, was
representing the auditor.
After confessing ii shortage, Mr..
West turned over 10 Alton T. Rob-
erts chairman OF the board OF con-
trol a number OF stock certificates
and assigned his brokerage account
To Mr.. Roberts as trustee. II was
said that the securities and the
equity in the brokerage account
would amount TO approximately $l5.-
600 II held until the general stock
market recovered sufficiently.
"The confession by Mr.. West was
made in the presence OF Alton I,
Roberts, j. c. Kirkpatrick, John IL.
Lewis, Arthur y. Anderson and the
writer. Mr. West explained at that
time the method pursued by him In
Incorporating funds and pointed
out several items upon the records 70

after making the confession Mr..
