CHECKING UP
ON STORY

Saturday night authorities were
working feverishly to ccrrOborate the
most minute details of the boys
story. The lagoon where the youths
said they threw the typewriter was
being dragged. The boys were taken
to a lonely spot where they pointed
out the spot where they tried to burn
a blood-smeared robe that they said
they placed over their victims body
and a search was being made for the
Franks boys shoes and belt. The
propritors of the garage from which
they rented the car in which Robert
was kidnapped had already identified
them. Late Saturday the boys, under
heavy guard, were taken over the
route they pursued and to the place
where the body was found to re-enact
details of their confession.
Leopold Saturday night still ap-
peared nOnchalant although he
showed effects of the great strain I'M
der which he had been placed for
more than twenty-four hours. Loeb
however collapsed when a druggist
at whose store he called the Franks
home in connection with the ransom
demand, positively identified him.
Meanwhile plans were completed
for quick action in the courts. The
inquest, indefinitely postponed the day
after the body was found, will be re-
opened Monday morning.

SHORTAGE RUMOR. BY JETER
Auditors Intimated No Discrepancy, Is
 Claim

Officials of the first division of the municipal court expressed surprise Thursday afternoon upon reading in the afternoon papers the report that a 5000 shortage existed in the court.
 Mark Jeter, clerk of Judge Edgar Aliens court, said that the state audi tors, R. L.. Avery and W. L. Nal combe, had just completed the usual biennial examination of the books, and had made no intimation of having found discrepancies in the accounts.
 'sThe examiners have just finished their audit, which is required every two years," Jeter told an Age-Her- aid representative Thursday afternoon. T don't understand the cause for the rumors of another shortage. 1t is true that the books were also examined last November, but only when I assumed my position before c. c. Ellis left us. He died last June. That examination is customary when change in per sonnel occurs"
 When the audie was made in Novem- Der, 1923, it was found that the court owed Ellis 90 cents, members of Judge Aliens force stated, Since Ellis left, the books have been kept practically in the same, manner, it was declared.
