In defense of himself, the young attorney admitted that perhaps he had spent more money than "some members" of the branch thought he should have, "but", he added, "the records have been checked by the auditors and they know I have given a strict accounting of funds expended." He said he did not relish the idea of anyone questioning his honesty and integrity. Said Caroll: "There are two instances where I have spent by own funds without any effort to obtain reimbursement from the organization.
