THAT INSURANCE CONTROVERSY The Text Citxo Itcforc the Supreme Court I. ! holy to Ho Hotly Contested. LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 17. The In- ; al controversy as to the liability to .ho state of the insurance companies that paid fees to Eugene Moore as nndltnr In becoming more complicated and the test case now pending before ho supreme court promises to be hot ly contested on both sides bcforo a de cision Is allowed to stand. In the liricf and argument of the defendant in the case of the State of Nebraska against the Home Insurance company , filed in the supreme court , three points are raised by which It is hoped lo relieve the Insurance companies ot all further liability. The argument opens with the asser tion that the brief of the state con tained no positive argument in sup port of Its claim and that the attor ney general preceded upon the as sumption that because Moore was not convicted under section 124 of the criminal code , as auditor of public ac counts , of embezzlement of the insur ance fees iu question , and because the sureties upon his ofllcial bond are not liable to the state for his defalcation with regard to money which he , as auditor , had no right to receive. The llrst of the three points raised by the Homo Insurance company la that under the constitution of Nebras ka the auditor had no right to per form services for the defendant and oltcr Insurance companies unless the fees therefor were paid In advance into the state treasury. The second point is that the state Is estopped to claim from the defendant insurance company compensation for services of the auditor which he could not legally perform unless the fees therefore were paid in advance into the state treas ury.
