To the State Board of Agriculture:-

G-entlemen:- 

February  28,  1912.

on August  16ths I reported to you the defalcation of Luther Jenison, I
4
TDOoXKeeper>  amounting to #3580,00.  I now desire to report that the full amount of!

this defalcation has \>een made good - |19?1«61 having been received from the estate

of Mr. Jenisonj and '#1608.39 having been paid by myself to maKe the tfai&nce due. i

I wish to say further^  that the entire accounts of Mr. Jenison  j

for the period during which he was employed, have been checked item by item, the j

cash booK with the ledgert and Items amounting to $3480.00 definitely located. The •• re-

• 

. 

{

maining  $100.00  was  evidently  talcen  in some  way  that  has  not  been  discovered.  Mr.  j

Jenison  used  two  methods  in abstracting  funds,  f i r st  by taKing  deposits  and  maKing |

entry  upon  the  ledger  but  no't  upon  the  cash  booK,  and  second,  by  putting  through 

j

withdrawals  the second  time  and  abstracting  the  money,  making  the  entry  upon  the  I

cash  booK  but  not  upon  the  ledger. 

There  is  on f i le  in my office  a detailed  lift  I

of  the  individual  items  so taxen. 

• 

I  maKe  this  brief  statement  so that  there  may be  a  record  of  the  re- 

\

j

storatlon  of  the  funds  outside  of  the  booKs  of  the  institution,  and  also  a  record  I

of  the  methods  by  which  the  funds  were  abstracted. 

Yours  respectfully^
