Mr. John H. Bragaw, county commissioner, seems to have considered his full duty perform- ed by his attendance at the meetings of the board, and participation in the transaction of the business thereat, without investigating or examining any of the records to learn what action was taken upon the orders made by the board. He claimed entire ignorance of the ir- regularities herein reported before they were brought to his notice before the grand jury (as did also Mr. Carpenter) ; Mr. Bragaw also had the most implicit confidence in the integrity of the clerk.
