County Treasurers Turn Over Over $60,000 to Prosecutor
Cincinnati March 20 Over $60,000 was turned over to County Prosecutor Aulison by County Treasurer Hynicks and former Treasurer French as a trust for the county to cover interest paid by city banks on county deposits. Hynicks sent $26,006.35, French $35,000, with ex-Treasurer Gibson expected to send a larger sum. The grand jury opened an inquiry into embezzlement from county funds as prosecutors prepare civil action but expect repayment after banks finalize book abstracts. Evidence suggests county treasurers had paid interest on public money for 15 to 20 years.
