Testimony for Dofenio.
LINCOLN , May 7. ( Special. ) At 9.30 a.
m. the Jupremc court was on the bench.
Then followed a long wait for Mr. Lambert-
son. At last Judge Wakcley appeared , and
General Cow In resumed Ills argument as to
what was and what was not a contract.
General Cow In cited a case In New York
In which It was held that too great care
could not be taken In the execution of In
struments. In the case cited the Judge had
said that If the decision which he rendered
would have the effect ot Inculcating this
principle of carefulness It.would do great
good. General Cowln nas attempting to
show that strict compliance with commonly
accepted definitions of signatures was held to
bo matcilal. The defense In the case at bar
was setting up that Hill had not signed his
treasurer's bond for the last two years of
his term. Counsel held that If the bonds
men of Hill had fixed tha condition that
Hill Miould sign the bond and Hill had failed
to do so the bondsmen were not held. Gen
eral Cowln then referred to a case In the
Fifty-sixth New York reports , similar In de
tail to the one nt bar. From the Fifteenth
Now Jeisey , p. 1C3 , the counsel read briefly
of a cate In which on of the bondsmen had
failed to afllx his signature , a bondsman
whoso name appeared In the body of the In
strument. It had been held by the court In
this case that , as the principal had given
express Instructions that the bond should not
bo delivered untU all had signed It. and
that It was found In defendant's hand without
the name of the ono bondsman , contrary to
Instructions ot defendant , neither defendant
nor any of the bondsmen were liable.
From the various authorities cited General
Cowln drew the principle that If n surety
had been approached and asked to sign a
bond , and had made It a condition that B.
and C should also sign It , although this
surety might sign It at the time , he could
not be held until U and C both signed
the Instrument.
It Is expected that testimony will bo given
to show that a similar condition existed In
regard to Hill's bond.
Judge Wakcley said that It was not denied
by the state that the authorities agreed on
certain points made by General Cowln , but
that none of them applied to the case at bar.
General Cowln declared that to say that
Elate authorities charged with taking due
notice of the obligations of others was to gtvo
them a license to do official business as
loosely as boys playing marbles on the side
walk. He then called for the original bond
of Hill for the purpose of Illustration. Coun
sel for the state has urged that It made no
difference whether n maker of a bond afllxed
his name at the top , In the mlddlo or at the
bottom of the Instrument.
VALUE OF SIGNATURES.
Counsel then Bald that his learned friend.
Judge Wakeley , had gone back Into the re
mote centuries In bis search through com
mon law. But ho would go back further ,
even to the eleventh century , and he did
BO , quoting from the English statute of
frauds. He read the syllabus of a case In
which a deed had been written out by the
maker , who had omitted to sign his name.
But the lord chancellor had held that as the
maker had written "I , J. B. , do hereby , etc. , "
the deed was valid. Referring then 'o ' the
original bond of Hill , counsel called atten
tion to the fact that Hill's bond did not
read , "I , John E. Hill , " but , on the contrary ,
"We , John E. Hill , C. W. Moshcr , etc. " In
the ancient deed the obligation had been
specific. In the Hill bond It was general and
collective.
Up to the hour of noon adjournment Gen
eral Cowln continued to quote authorities ,
spooking two hours and a quarter , all tend
ing to show that no name was a signature
In an Instrument mile's It were proved that
the signer Intended It for his signature.
"It could not. " ho said , "be shown by
parole testimony that Hill ever Intended
that the name of himself In the body of his
bond was to be his signature. "
General Cowln then thanked the court , and
said that , so far as he was concerned , ho
submitted the caio on the point of admitting
the validity of Hill's bond. Ho had attacked
the admlsslblllty of Hill's bond In evidence
because ho believed It Invalid. Upon the
original bond in question the bUnk line In
tended for the signature of Defendant Hill
was not filled out.
When court reconvened at 2 p. m. Chief
Justice Norval requested counsel for the de
fendant to prepare a complete list of Its au
thorities upon the laat question argued ,
namely , the validity of ex-Treasurer Hill's of
ficial bonJ.
bonJ.WAKELEY
WAKELEY ON VALIDITY.
Judge Wakeloy , resuming the dropped
thread of the argument , said ho advanced the
dtatn's contention that Hill's sureties are
still bound by the terms of the boni , whether
or not Hill Is declared to have legally exe
cuted It individually. He took no Issue with
the counsel for defense upon the proposition
that where ono of the sureties on a bond has
failed to sign the other sureties are released
from their contract. Upon the contrary , he
was willing to concede the correctness of this
theory , but he started out upon the principle
that the requiring of the principal's Hgiutturo
was for the benefit of the obligee , and posi
tively not for that of the sureties. The state
will hold that If Hill has placed hlnwelf In a
position where ho Is estopped from claiming
non-execution of the bond he must abide by
the consequences. Judge Wakeley then re
curred to the claim of the defense that an In
strument may be drawn by any man , In a
moment's Idleness , In which his name ap
pears In the body of It , but which ho falls to
sign or has any Intention of signing. The
ca.se bears no similarity to the ono at bar , for
tha reason that there would bo no delivery
In that event , while signing and delivering Is
Included In the term "executing a bond. " The
presumption la hero that Hill delivered this
bond as his bond , nnd It was the only Instru
ment upon which ho could have relied In lay
ing claim to his offlce. In reference to tto
claim ot General Cowln , that the absence of
the principal's signature Invalidates tlio offi
cial bond , counsel declared that this wnuld
not be good law where there 1s In axUtcnco a
Etatuto controlling the formation of buch a
bond , and said that only when the bond falls
under the statute , then , and then only , does
the obligee fall back upon a common law
bond. Our statute declares that no official
bond shall bo declared invalid by reason of
any Informality or Irregularity In Its execu
tion. This provision , counsel for the state
claims , covers perfectly the point In Usue. In
that Hill's bond was delivered as his official
bond , notwithstanding there was an Irregular
ity In his failure to sign It In the lawful way.
The sureties had knowledge at the time they
signed this bond that Hill's name was not
yet attached to It. Proper diligence wouli
have required them to ascertain whether or
not ho had so signed before waiting for two
years , nnd permitting him to handle the
state's millions In the Interim.
Reading from Throop on Public Officers ,
section 1SS , Judge Wakcley utterly demol
ished General Cowtn's claim that an official
bond Is Itualhl If It departs from statutory
provisions by Informing the court that In this
section it Ls held that where an official bond
falls under the statute , It may then bo held
as valid under the common law. In the
case of an oath ot office , the statute requires
that It be "subscribed to and sworn before
mo , " etc. . while In case ot a bond , It reads
"executed. " In old times execution was
not complete without Dealing , and a case
was cited In which the circuit court was af
firmed and a bond declared Invalid because ,
although It had been sealed by each of the
sureties , the principal failed to attach hit
seal.
seal.As
As a clincher Judge Wakeley read an
opinion In 69 Mississippi , 2 > 1 , In whtcli
the principal admitted that he hat d )
written his name In the body of the bond I.
but without intending that to be his final
act or signature but as he had failed tc
sign It below In the usual manner It wai
held by the supreme court that he had madi
tt operative by Intending to sign It at thi
bottom when be wrote his own name In thi
body. This opinion , Judge Wakeley be
lleved , settled the question of Intention
where a principal gives evidence by his do
livery of tha bond of his Intention to sign
and make It operative.
This closed the argument ! heard upon the
validity ot Hill's bond , and the testimony
wan resumed. There wa some question at
this point AS to providing a lounge for Juror
Frank Mitchell ot Lancaster county , who
had been ill all day , but the Juror thought
IIP could sit up during the remainder of the
session.
HARTLEY FOR THE DEFENSE.
Statf Treasurer Hartley was the first wit
ness called by the defense. He admitted , In
answer to Mr. Wheedon's query , that he had
personally deposited the certificate ot de
posit handed to him by the outgoing treas
urer , railing for $235,000. Asked what sort
of convenience was provided by the state for
keeping the public moneys , counsel for the
state objected to the question , and In sus
taining the objection. Judge Post said he
was free to say that ho personally would
like to see the present law governing this
matter modified materially , but he was com
pelled to hold that the fact ot good or bad
convenience ! ! cuts no figure In the face ot
the plain requirements of the law , which
view Is too well established to admit of ar
gument.
Mr. Wheedon demurred to the ruling of
the court before he was heard , and was al
lowed to stats the grounds upon which he
asked the question. Wheedon , with some
asperity , stated that ho desired to show that
the custom of the office was to accept checks
for cash nnd to pay checks Instead of cash ;
and further , that as n matter of fact Mr. Hill
did not receive from his predecessor In office
more than $500 In cash , and the residue In
certificates of deposit and other commercial
paper. In other words , ho desired to show-
that Mr. Hill had paid over to his successor
Just what he received from his predecessor.
He urged that this method of transacting
business had been In use In this state for
twenty-seven years and In the state of
Wisconsin for thirty years , but the court
refused to alter Its first ruling.
"How long did you , ns treasurer , keep the
money there ? " Inquired Mr. Wheedon. Mr.
Lambertson objected and Wheedon kindly
offered to change the objectionable word
money to funds or certificates of deposit.
Justice Post said that this was the very ques
tion that the court had already reserved Its
decision on until a later time ; but the wit
ness was permitted nt length to answer.
"Tho money was deposited on January 1C
and the state treasury recognized the Capi
tal National bank ns a depository "
"Well. I object to this , and I don't think
you should have volunteered the Informa
tion that you recognized the bank as the
depository , " broke In Mr. Lambertson , Indig
nantly , addressing the witness.
Mr. Hartley was started again on the right
track , and replied that he had deposited the
certificate on January 1C , and but
for the exception of the sums checked out , It
had remained there ever since , so far as he Is
concerned.
Mr. Hartley , deputy state treasurer , took
the stand and Identified the entry In the
bank book of the offlce , purporting to show
the deposit of $285.000 , made on January 1C
Mr. Hartley admitted that he was acting
state treasurer on the date of the deposit
Witness was asked to state In whose name
the deposit was made , but Lambertson's ob
jection that the bank book spoke for Itself
was sustained.
Treasurer Hartley resumed the
stand and Mr. Whcpdon presented a
document to the witness , which turned
out to the receipt given by Treasurer Hart
ley to Mr. Hill for the state funds turned
over to him , and amounting to $4,081,388.80.
Witness testified that bo had receipted for
this sum on January 14 , 1S93 , shortly after his
official bond wa approved , and after the Cap
ital National had been made a state deposi
tory. All of the balances that he receipted
for were In the form of bink credits and not
In actual funds. Mr. Hartley was asked to
tell the jury how the business of the offlce
of the state treasurer Is conducted , but
Judge Wakeloy's quick objection to the query
was sustained.
CASH OR NOT CASH.
Mr. Bart'ey was asked to stats what am'unt
ot cash Hill received from him upon taking
the office for n second term , aside from the
$500 In cash which Hill had turned over to
witness , at the end of his first term. Judge
Wakeley objected to the question on the
ground that It has not been shown that there
was a dollar's worth of dishonored paper
among all that witness received from Hill ,
except and only. Mr. Rlnaker of Beatrice of
counsel for defense took a fall out of the
objection by saying that they should cer
tainly be allowed to show that Mr. HIM had
received less actual cash at the entrance upon
his second term than he had turned over
when he left the office.
The court decided to allow the question In
so far as It referred specifically to the $285.-
000 , Impleaded , nnd Mr. Wheedon trium
phantly put the old question In new form.
" .Mr. Hartley , how much ot that $283,000 ,
In certificates of deposit , checks , etc. , was In
actual cash ? "
Before the witness could frame a reply
Judge Wakeley was on Ills feet with a re
newed objection , which was to the effect
that Mr Hill accepted the certificates of de
posit at his own risk , having had a right to
demand cash , which he waived , thereby es
topping himself from now trying to prove
that It was cash , or any portion of It.
Mr. Whoedon sprang to his feet saying :
"How Is this ? They took these certificates
to the bank and got $49,000 on them without
Informing the sureties , and now they como
In here and say Hill la estopped from showing
how much of the $285,000 was In cash "
The result of the tilt was that the witness
was allowed to answer and replied that he
couldn't say exactly.
Treasurer Bartley was shown a slip ot
paper and asked to state Its character. lie
paI < 1 It was a deposit ticket made by himself
nnd railing for $285,000 , odd , which he re
ceived from Hill In the form of a certificate
ot deposit. The deposit slip was taken to
the bank on the afternoon It was made out
by the witness by a janitor in the building
Mr. Bartlett took the stand again and
corrected his testimony given earlier In thp
afternoon by saying that he had found upon
Investigation that he was sworn in on Jan
uary 13 , 1S93 , Instead ot on the 14th , as
testified to.
Auditor Moore made the same correction
as to his entry Into olllce.
Mr. Porshcll , a state house janitor who
deposited the famous $285,000 certificate of
deposit , told how he had received the de
posit and slip from Treasurer Bartley , and
had passed It Into the receiving teller of the
Capital National bank , whence It never re
turned. ,
WAS THE BANK SOUND ?
Receiver R. R. Hayden of the defunct bank
was called to show the reputation of the Cap
ital National In January , 1893. The de
fense desired to show the bank's reputation
was good at that time , as any ot the other
city banks , but Receiver Hayden was not
allowed to say what ho knew In this connec
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Hayden testified that the bank did
business In Its ordinary manner from January
1 , 1893 , up to June 21 of the same year ,
receiving deposits , Issuing drafts and cashing
checks.
The query as to whether there was any
question of the bank's responsibility at that
time or bstween these dates , was ruled out ,
and the court's ruling was , as usual , argued
contentlously by Mr. Wheedon , who failed to
shako another and different ruling from the
judicial tree. The receivers forward' ! the
state's claim upon the Capital National bank
for the $236,000 , balance due , to Washington ,
and thought ho had roturne-J the claim EOTP
time during last summer. Ho was not p-r-
mltted to state whether -or not the state's
claim was allowed or disallowed , whereupon
court adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow
morning.
U now appears that there Is scarcely the
ghoit of a show for the defense. It was lefi
for a reporter for The Bee to discover thai
when Judge Wakeley , ct counsel for the
state , appeared before this court to prose
cute he was backed up by a genuln ? rabbit's
foot , nicely mounted In gold , presented I
him by a daughter who , though III at home ,
has armed the judge with a mascot which
never falls.

TEKAMAH , Neb. , May 7. ( Special. ) The
rial of the five accused murderers of Robert
[ 'hllllps on "No Man's Land" Is taking a
jroail foundation and shows evidence of an
extraordinary case. The taking of testimony
began with Fred Lass. He occupied the wit
ness stand over three hours.
It was through Lass' cause that 1'hllllps
came to his death. On the 3d of February
ast Pred La s drew a shanty onto a tract
of land on the vest side of the Missouri
river , seven miles cast of Tekamah , In the
night , and made It his abode for the purpose
of squatting on the land and acquiring a
: lto ! from the government In time. Owing
to Its swampy nature no survey was made
of this land at the time of the government
surveys In the SOs , and It has since been the
source of much trouble and litigation on the
part of farmers who hnve laid claim to It
as accretion to their lawfully titled lands.
At the time Lass Jumped It David Daver.
one of the defendants , had the land fenced
ind was farming U.
The witness testified that on the afternoon
jefore the shooting he was warned to vacate
: ho premises or suffer the con'equences , but
that Instead he called In Ucbcrt Phillips
and two other companions , all armed , to
resist any attack that was expected , and on
the night of February 8 unknown parties with
; uns assaulted the shanty. He further tes-
; lfled that Instead of returlng the fire , he
and his companions walked out of the house
and called on the enemy In ambush to "stop
shooting. " and a voice replied , "get out If
you want us to stop , " and fired , killing Rob-
! it I'hllllps. He recognized the volco to be
that of James Ulaun , ono of the defendants.
There are 155 witnesses subpoenaed In the
case , and as only six have been examined a
long trial Is evident.
LINK OF PROSECUTION.
The prosecution Is leading out to lay n
broad foundation , and the court Is granting
liberal scope , but the defense U crowding
out much material testimony. County At
torney Sears has retained Isaac Olln Hope-
well to assist him , and Mel Joy of Dikota
City has also been employed by private sub
scription to old In the prosecution. H. H.
Howes , whom Sears declined to countenance
In the prosecution of the case , was a rival
candidate of Sean' last fall , and considerable
warmth was worked up between the lawyers.
Howes said to a llee reporter today that
Scars was "playing even" over an old score ,
and had no desire to prosecute the case , and
had said he would dismiss It Howes also
said that the prosdcutor absolutely refused
In the face of a public Indignation meeting
to prosecute the case > until dilven to It by
the attorney general and himself.
Speculation Is rlfo a to which one , If
either , of the defendants Is guilty , and with
the array of legal counsel on the side of the
defense few expect , a verdict of guilty ,
while a very great number do not think the
right man has been yet placed under arrest.
The jury Is kept under strict surveillance
and not permitted to addre's or bo addressed
on any subject. The question ot Jurisdiction
Is working In , and the prosecution has had
the Harrison county ( Iowa ) , surveyor running
lines on the land on which the murder oc
curred today. The deep mystery that seemed
to enshroud the whola affair seems to be
lifting , and tomorrow- the public may expect
to get a peep behind the scenes.

LINCOLN , May 7. ( Special ) A very bit
ter feud has developed hero the past few-
days over the distribution of spoils by the
various state boards the Hanking board , the
Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings , the
Irrigation board , and , last , but not least , the
State Doard of Transportation. The railroad
contingent , which practically comprises the
active republican workers of the machine
brand , who held open house during the legis
lature under the style "republlVin headquar
ters , " ono and all have ben slated for po
sitions on the state house pay roll But
there has been no very little difficulty In
keeping these spoilsmen at arm's length one
from the other.
It was settled many months ago that Hon
Charloj Morrlll. regent of the university and
chairman of the republican state central com
mittee , should have one of the $2.000-a-year
sinecures a iecretaryslilp on the State Hoard
of Transportation. It was also understood
within Inner circles of the state house that
Dllworth should bo retained In the board , as
ho Is about the only man among the secre
taries familiar with the tubject of railroad
shuttlecock and battledore. The third mem
ber of the board was to have been a demo
crat or populist , to succeed ex-Senator
Rouns , who sold out his party for the $2.000-
a-year mesa of pottage about the same time
that Taylor was abducted \vhlle the New-
berry bill was pending.
It had been tacitly 'agreeJ at railroad head
quarters and In the special car ot Czar
Holdrege that the place to be vacated by
Kouns should go to a Tobo Castor r'ght-of- '
way democrat by the name of Famll , who
UVM somewhere along the Republlcjn vallny ,
but this program seems to bo very obnoxious
to people who call themselves friends. Ref
erence Is made to members of the A. P. A.
Farrell happened to bo an offensive Roman
ist and that operated llko a red rag before
the bull In the china shop. The most offended
person In the ranks of the frlonds ot rallroid
spoils was Captain Covell , late of tha confed
erate army. He roared like a hungry laml
ot Sahara and would not be padded utils-si
Farrell was thrown overboard , so a democrat
named Gardner , who halls from Omaha , was
put In his place.
To bring things to a head a delegation
went over to Omaha yesterday under the
lead of Superintendent Hlgnell. The party
was made up of Walt Seeley , Colonel Ager ,
Charley Morrlll bringing up the rear. The
delegation marched straight away to Bur
lington headquarters , and wai ushered Into
the private apartments of Pantata Holdrege ,
who held a protracted seance with his be
loved servants. What was finally agreed
upon has not transpired , It Is well under
stood , however , that a compromise has been
reached , and special .Instructions . from Bur
lington headquarters hro expected to reich

Hoard of Traniportatlon Churchill , Russell
