The Jefferson Circuit Court in One Tin set a judgment of 17 337 73 in favor of Marion E Pangburn against Lewis L Chapman and the American Surety Company. Col Charlies L Jewett paid 19 303 88 to discharge interest and costs. The suit arose from a 310000 shortage found in Pangburns office while he was county treasurer.

One third of the amount was later assigned to Mordecai C Coles estate. two related suits involve about 1300 in State warrants. Chapman denies wrongdoing and no criminal action has been filed.
