The William Buster Embezzlement

Sonoma County Journal, Petaluma, Vol. 2, No. 37, 1 May 1857, p. 2:

  BUSTER SENTENCED. -- Last Wednesday morning the Court passed sentence on W. A. Buster, found guilty of using and loaning State Funds. His sentence is thirty months imprisonment in the State Penitentiary. The venire issued last week for a Jury to try the prisoner of the charge of using and loaning County Funds, was returned into court on Wednesday. A panel has probably been selected ore[?] this. We learn that there is still another indictment against him -- that of embezzling the School Money, upon which he is yet to be tried.
