Question of Securing Return ofMoney Drawn From Co on Orders

Forged by Hiram Smedley Live One

Victim of Drug Habit For5

Yearsand is Now IrresponfMsible

I

Yarledaro the Opinions whetherthe county can recover fully too loss ¬

es sustained by the shqrtages of HI-ram

¬

Smedloy former county courtclerk A seven year limit releasesthe bondsmen of former county courtclerks under whom Mr Smedleyserved as deputy and under whom ItIs alleged he did most of the forgingandobtaining money The victimswho cashed the checks are liablefirst and tho limit Is a longer onebeyond which tho county can recoverfunds No steps have been takenthis early to prepare to recovermoney due the county as the countyofficials are waiting on a decision inthe case ot Boon tho defaulting stateofficial may decide the Smedley case

Along most lines the case 01 ClerkSmedley is exactly a parallel to theBooe CUll Mr Charles Graham un-

der¬

whom Mr Smedley served twoterms as deputy nays he is not liablefor the criminal acts of his deputyThis la the male point in the Booecase before the court of appeal ftIs believed by the county officialsthat llr Grahams bond will holdgood for any discrepancies of MrSmedley who served as deputy andforged the checks while in an officialcapacity All the checks discoveredso far were paid through the fiscalcourt and wore not forged on privatecitizens Mr Smedley was not underbond to Mr Graham It Is said

Tho seven year release of the bondsmen will prevent the county recover-Ing money secured wrongfully bySmedley under tho first term of MrGraham but It can be recoveredfrom the persons who cashed thochecks as they are the first personsliable

While serving as cjerk Mr medlley to hayebeen dropiiidAtemp6Tarllyltho discrepancies apd the companycan bo Mid good to reimburse thecounty Mr Graham bas stated tofriends that he Is out ot politics anddoesnot want lo bedrawn Into Jtand that ho Is not liable for MrSmedlcys wrongdoings

Friends of Mr Smedley are con-vinced

¬

by his actions and conductthat he Is out of his reason now Illstalk is contradictory The countyofficials will not undertake to havehim examined before a jury In orderto ascertain his soundness of mindunless he becomes violent The pleaof Insanity may be a detente for himwhen his trial is called at the Sep ¬

tember term ot court and his attor-neys

¬

may seek to have him sent tothe asylum instead of the pen ItIn¬

tiaryEfforts to make ball for Mr Smed ¬

ley have been dropped temporarilyby his relatives It Is said they real-Ize

¬

that ho Is not In his right mindnow probably caused by worry andpre willing for him to remain in thecounty jail His friends say that MrSmedley is addicted to the drughabit and one reason for keepinghim In jail Is to watch him carefullyand make efforts to cure him of tho

habitThe first night In the county Jailwas spent quietly by3Ir Smedley al ¬

though this morning friend whip

called on him say that ho looka bad-

ly¬

I and apparently for the first timerealizes his situation He was ac-corded the same treatment as otherprisoners and shared a cell with WillHamilton who Is In jail for maliciouscutting and robbing the United Statesmalls
