£19,000 FRAUD. LONDON. Oft. 9. A remarkable story of embezzlement niul fraud was told at tlio mectiiijj; of the Norfolk County Council at Norwich on Saturday. The amount involved is £19,730 and the person accused of the defalcations was 0 cor no Harvey, formerly a clerk in the accountants’ department of the council, fie entered the council’s service when he was It. About a month ago, at the age of -11, he shot himself dead in a garage at Norwich after a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Mr George Edwards, M.R., a member of the council, stated at Saturday’s meeting that Harvey’s salary was £3OO, but he lived at the rate of £3,000 a year. The most astonishing feature of the all'uir is that, although the report presented to the Norwich County Council on Saturday by the Inspector of Audits, Mr H. Douglas Roberts, shows that the defalcations extend over a period of six years, it was only just before Harvey was found dead that they were discovered. He shot himself. it is believed, soon after hearing that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
