Ball borrowed money on three personal
notes and spent this money for county
purposes and then paid on the notes
with county funds.
. did Ball owe the county money
Ut the time he transferred the proceeds
of three Of these notes to the county
treasury" Denny asked Andrews.
There was a defense objection to this
question, but Judge Mccarthy ruled the
witness could answer because counsel
for Ball had accused him of being
prejudieed against the defendant.
Judge Mccarthy said the jury was
entitled to know whether the auditor
believed the defendant was actually
short in his accounts.
Several Verbal Tits.
Andrews answered the question af-
firmatively.
He and Mackey engaged in several
verbal Tits yesterday, in one OF which
the witness charged the attorney did
not know anything about bookkeeping
What do you know about my
knowledge Of bookkeeping?" Mackey
asked.
i've hired and fired enough men to
TELL" Andrews replied.
l You'd fire me the first day, wouldn't
your"
II wouldn't even hire you"
Andrews said he talked to Ball short
" after the audit had been started and
informed him then that there was an
apparent shortage Of approximately
S320000 In his accounts. He said he
asked the treasurer for an explanation,
and that Ball professed complete
ignorance Of any shortage.
did he deny that he was short?"
Douglas inquired.
No"

ibid he say he had ever stolen any
thing?" Mackey then asked.
The witness again answered in the
negative.
Mackey then accused Andrews Of be-
ing embittered against Ball.
Nothing would give me more pleas
ure, personally, than to see Mr.. Ball
walk out Of this court free man." the
+, witness Cetaliated.
Good" Mackey exclaimed. I'm
glad to have the jury hear you say
that"
Andrews said Balls total balances in

> Figures Are Disputed.
Two sheets OF yellow paper covered
With figures, some of which were made
by Ball, were the subject of con-
troversy between the defense and prose
cution yesterday.
The latter claimed the figures were
made by Ball as preliminary steE
to "kiting' checks, that they showed
he was aware Of the financial condi'
ton of his office and that he had ol
intended to initiate his apparent bank
balances" One OF the prosecutors saic
the calculations on the papers indicate
Ball knew he still was indebted to thu
county for sl8l,940 on June 80, 1880
after he had kited checks for Sl08, 900.
The defense objected to the use o.
the word "kiting" and the prosecution
volunteered they would not use it, bu
would refer TO the practice as "the ere
ating OF fictitious bank balances"
The papers were identified by Jess
