LISCOI..V , Nob. , Jan. a [ Special to THE UBE.J The supreme court toany handed down its opinion in the c.iso bvouplit in the tiamooflha state against ox-Slnlo Treas- urcr J. } j Hill iintl Ills bondsmen to recover the sum of f-K0Hl.U ! ; ) : ) , this bctnir the amount lost to the stale by the collapsa of the Cap- * Hal National banlc in this city last January. Tliu uuilon was originally brought In Uou- las courtly and en me up before Judge Davis. In thu district , court the attorneys for the bondsmen , who wore not residents of Doug- Ins county , objected to the jurisdiction of the court and Judcc D.ivU sustained the objec tion. Judge U'akcluy , who had been cm- tilo.ved us special counsel for the state tlion brought the matter to the at t tention of the supreme court. The de cision of the court today sustains the decision of Judge Davis , the opinion bo- In" written by Commissioner Irvine and ( iff. pied by the supreme court by a vote of tuo la one , Justices Norval nnil Post votlnv In thu nlllrmatlvo and Chief Justlcu Maxwell dissenting. Jin-hilling ox-Treasurer Hill , the following bundHiiiiti of tl.al olllclal were represented in tlnj defense : Victor B. Cjlducll , Samuel JJ Kngers , John P. Coad. John 1. McClay , J'ohn B. Wriclit , C. W. Moshcr. D. K Thompson. J U. Macfariand , H. ' ; . Outcalt , John KUzRciiiliI , J. K. Smith , S. 13. Smith , John Kills , U. T Hoggs , N. S. HnrwooU and VranlcColpet or. K.\-TiPisiirer : Hill Is too much pleased over the result of the case in the supreme court to conceal his satisfaction. His pleas ure only suggests the fiiut that ho considers his cnso more than half won whim the court defines that the state must attack him in the courts of ijincnitcr county. Hut there is at least ono fly In the ox- treasurer's pot of ointment. Judirc Walcoloy , in heiinlf of thu state , alleges that when the x-tru.iiurer duriiiK his term of ollleo do- pOMlted the state funds in the Capital nnd other national banlts ho thereby converted the I'unus to his own use , contrary to the ntntules. The supreme court confirms this view. The language of the court Is explicit. It says : \Vhen Hill removed the money from the treannrer'n olllco will ) the Intmit of depositing itconlrnry to luw ho wnsjtnllty of a convcr- Blon and H caiite of action ueciut'd. nppo4u , Iristvnil of ili'io ] > .ltlnK the money In Oiniilia , ho hnd di-poslt'-d It In New York or Chic igo. ConlU Ithus.ild that Itwas only upon the du- poslt of the money thntn canso of action nc- crued ; uid that no < uill would lie In this state ? The \vioii was done and completed HO far as .the state was concerned ulicn the money was roinii\ed from Its treasury at Lincoln. The language of the court is significant , and as far as the court itself is concerned , when the case again comes up on its merits the burden of proof will lust upon ex-Tieas- urcr Dill to establish whether or not the state funds wore illegally deposited in the Capital National bank. Jadco Mitxivoll'H Opinion. In his dissenting opinion Chief Justice Maxwell brushes aside tlio cloud of tech nicalities raised by the defense , and strixes directly at the ono all-important point in- _ volvod. Ho says : "Tho solo question presented is the right to bring the action in Douglas county. * * * If the allocations of the petition uro true , the defendant. Hill , took the money of the etato , and in the face of a direct prohibition of the statute converted thu same to Ills own use by depositing it in two banks at Omaha. Section 124 of the criminal cede declares : 'If any ofllcer or other person charged with the collection , receipt , safe keeping , transfer or disbursement of the public money belonging to thu state or any county shall convert to his own use or lethe the use of any other person in any way whatever , or shall use by way of investment In any kind of security , stock , loan , property , land or merchandise , or in any other man ner or form whatever , or shall loan , with or without interest , to any company , corpora- lion , association or individual any portion of the public funds * * every such act shall bo deemed nnd held In law to bo an embezzlement of so much of the said moneys , which is hereby declared to bo a high crime , and such olllccr shall bo imprisoned in the pacitnu'iai'y not less than ono year nor more than v.vcnty-ono yo.ira , according to the magnitude of the embezzlement , and also ray n line equal to double the amount of money so ombe/zlctl. ' "This act . for the was p.issod express purpose - pose of prohibiting the loaning of the punlic fuuds. The experience of other states has been that the loaning of such funds tends to foster corruption in its worst forms by plac ing the surplus funds of the state In the hands of a few persons to bo used for their porson.il benolit. These persons stand in with the publiu ofllcial , whoever ho may bo , and manage to keep on hand a much larger surplus than necessary. Prior to 183T > the surplus funds of the United States were kept in banks. The effect was found to bo favoritism nnd corruption , which had a de moralizing effect , not only upon party or ganization , but upon free government itself. * * The statute of Nebraska places an absolute prohibition upon the loaning of publiu funds or depositing the same in a bank. Stronger languagu could not bo used. The offunsu is declared to bo embezzlement and thu punishment Is fixed. Hut it is said tnnt the treasurer is guilty or conversion by carrying tlm funds out of Lancaster county , and therefore that county Is the only ono where the action can bo brought. The nn- BWOI * is , the prohibition of thu .statute is not against carrying the funds Into another county , but in loaning the same to ono or inora b.uiks. The overt not the loaning took place in Douglas county , and thuro alone can a prosecution bo had , and no prose cution for that offense could bo instituted and maintained in Lancaster county. " bottled an Importune Point. Another opinion handed down today holds that the county and state depository not , passed by the legislature of IS'Jl. Is constitu tional. The constitutionality of this law has been ficquently challenged , but no actual -h > jul attack was directed uu'.iinstll until the case of John H. Hopkins against Uarrott tjcott reached the supreme court from Holt county. On March 1 , 169 , ' . lion id us filed a complaint - plaint before the .Hoard of Supervisors of Holt county , charging thnt Ilnrrqtt Scott , treasurer of that county , had been guilty of oftlcinl misdemeanors , especially in that ho had deposited and loaned In certain bunks tlio money belonging lo Iho counly and con verted iho interest on the same to his own use contrary to the provision * of Uiu depos itory law. Scott's attorneys allacked the cnnUltuilonallly of the depository law. The Riiprmno court ileoldes thu matter In thu fol lowing language : "It Is urged that the act of IS01 Is unconsti tutional , as containing more than ono sub ject. Thu ncl provided both for Iho deposit ing of state funds and for the depositing of county funds , and it is touU'iidod that each of thcsu forms is a sopamta subject of legis lation. The general object of the act is to piovldo for the safe custody of public funds , unit li seems to UA that this is a single sub ject of legislation , whether tlio funds aru gtaluor couniy. The object of thu act is plainly exprvfbcd in its title , and the combi nation of provisions in regard to both state and county funds presents none of these ob jections which Inlliiencrd the adoption of the constitutional inhibition against uniting-two or moro subjects In a single act.
