Treasurer Judkins Flees as Wife Stands By
Clarke County treasurer Judkins vanished last Thursday amid a reported shortage of 11000 to 26000 dollars. His wife and friends insist he will return to face the music, while John Ledgerwood was appointed temporary treasurer to serve out Judkins term. Judkins, a former cattle shipper, confessed to his wife after state investigators visited his office. His son Roy, deputy county auditor, assists as residents cope with the unfolding scandal.
