Werner Not Guilty of Stealing Says Jury
The Randolph County Circuit Court jury in Moberly found LeRoy Werner of Mexico not guilty of stealing over 50 dollars by deceit after a two day trial. The nine men and three women deliberated about two and a half hours before returning the verdict at 6 30 p m. Werner, former county recorder for Audrain, faced charges tied to two 80 dollar checks paid for microfilming of records in 1974. The defense rested without witnesses, arguing books balanced and funds stayed in the recorder of deeds account.
