Sheriff’s Slip-Up: DeKalb County’s Frazier Faces Criticism

Montgomery, AL – December 22, 1897. A scathing report from the state examiners has left DeKalb County’s Sheriff R. W. Frazier with a tarnished reputation. The investigation, led by Messrs. Foster and Purifoy, revealed a shocking oversight by the sheriff, who failed to include a $200 feed bill in his state remittances. This egregious error has raised eyebrows and prompted a stern warning from the examiners that the sheriff must do better in the future.
