nveniently. An officer returned for the
ink, but lo and behold! it had suddenly disap-
peared, and has not since been seen by the
officers. Mr. Whitehill was subpoenaed before
the grand jury immediately, where he doubtless
explained how the plunder came into his pos-
session.
Mr. Whitehill explains that the blanks,
pencils, paper and ink was given him by Mr.
Morehead, but it is an undisputed fact that the
county had paid for them. It is particularly
unfortunate for Mr. Whitehill that the two
books, which were the property of the county,
should have been found in his possession, but
doubtless he has given a lucid explanation of
the matter to the grand jury. Perhaps, while
acting as deputy clerk, he took the books home
to work on them at night, and forgot to return
them. Mr. Whitehill is a bit absent minded at
times and such an explanation would certainly
be entirely satisfactory to the grand jury.
