** It's notable that just before the Sheriff rips up the warrant, Carter, the bank examiner, comes up to the table and drops a few dollars off, giving George a look that says, [[HiddenHeartOfGold "Don't tell anyone, okay?"]] Most likely, Carter has seen enough to realize there's no way George outright stole the money, and he told the Sheriff to forget about the arrest.

It's also rather clear that doing the audit, which as an end of year audit goes could easily be done after New Years, on Christmas Eve was NOT Carter's idea. He's clearly only here because Potter insisted that it had to be done TODAY which makes you wonder if Potter called someone to send Carter in after getting his hands on the money. This might add to his sympathy towards George as this whole affair has already ruined his day seeing it's after sundown and he's still stuck in town when he clearly wanted to be anywhere else.
