§ 2945.64.
Failure or refusal to pay over or produce public money by a person charged with the
collection, receipt, transfer, disbursement, or safekeeping of such money, whether
belonging to this state, a county, township, municipal corporation, or board of education,
or other public money, or to account to or make settlement with a legal authority
of the official accounts of such person, is prima-facie evidence of the embezzlement

evidence for the purpose of showing a balance against him, to produce a transcript
from the records of the auditor of state, director of budget and management, county
auditor, or board of county commissioners. The refusal of such person, whether in or out of office, to pay a draft, order,
or warrant drawn upon him by an authorized officer, for public money in his hands,
or a refusal by a person promptly to pay over to his successor public money or securities
on the legal requirement of an authorized officer of the state or county, on the trial
of an indictment against him for embezzlement, is prima-facie evidence thereof.
