Shortage in Kansas treasury tops 78000 and moves to blame
The Morris accounting report finds a $78 000 shortage in Kansas treasury funds from Jan 1 1898 to Jun 30 1905. About $60 000 stems from missing school fund bond coupons and $18 000 from interest loss on warrants to Oklahoma. Former treasurer Frank Grimes defends himself and accuses C R Richey of serious discrepancies. Sensational disclosures include erasure of state property prints from coupons and mutilation of records in the treasurer and auditor offices.
