nRcmnnt llrclurci Ho Uus : ot
Dlion n I'nlr Deal by the
Governor.
LINCOLN , May 24. ( Special. ) The pros-
poet for an Immediate settlement of the
Hay-Abbott controversy Is dubious. The
l-Oi ( .uprcmo court adjourned today until Juno
18 , having tinder consideration the quo war-
lanto case submitted by Attorney General
Churchill. Today Attorneys Hollenback
and Abbott , for Plaintiff Abbott , filed his
answer to the answer of Dr. Hay to the pe
tition of the attorney general. The answer
generally and specifically denies the allega
tions ot the answer of defendant , and urges
that the right of the governor to remove for
cause Is Inviolate.
The answer of Dr. Hay to the petition of
Dr. L J. Abbott Is entitled , "Tho state of
Nebraska on the relation of Arthur S.
Churchill , plaintiff , against John T. Hay ,
incumbent , and Luther J. Abbott , claimant ,
of the olllcc of superintendent of the Hos
pital for the Insane , located at Lincoln , de
fendants. "
The respondent says that he Is a graduate
of the medical department of the university
of the city of New York , from which he
\vas graduated In 1ST8 , and has ever since
been a physician ot acknowledged ability.
On Match 22 , 1893 , ho was appointed to the
olllco of superintendent ot the hospital by
Governor Crounse for the term of six years ,
to succeed ono Dr. Bowman , resigned. Since
then he has diligently attended to the du
ties of the office , which he > is entitled by law
to hold until the first day ot April , 1899 ,
unless sooner removed from olllco by the
governor for malfeasance or other good and
sulllclcnt causo.
Defendant further says that on February
27 , 18U.1 , the governor , Silas A. Holcomb ,
addressed defendant the following.
"Permit me to Inform you that I have
this day sent to the senate the name ot Dr
L. J. Abbott of Fremont , whom I have ap
pointed to succeed you March 10 , 1893. I
hope that the date set for the change In
the supcrlntcndcncy will be agreeable to
jou "
On March 9 the governor again wrote him
"You arc hereby notified that for causes
which to mo ere good and sufficient you arc
hereby removed as superintendent from the
Nebraska Hospital for the Insane at Lincoln ,
and that you are relieved from any further
duty or authority as such superintendent
on and after March 10. 1895. I beg to In
form yon that Dr. Luther J. Abbott has
been appointed as your successor , and qual
ified for the position , and to request that
you deliver to him possession of your ofllce
when requested by him and all property con
nected therewith "
On March 11 the governor and Dr. Abbott
visited thn hospital and made a personal de
mand for possession of the Institution , and on
or about that date the governor notified the
Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings that he
had removed defendant , also the state auditor ,
Eugene Moore , and Induced the latter to re-
ftiso to pay defendant his salary. On April
20 the governor again requested defendant to
Lv icalgn his ofllce and to Induce him to do so
said that unpleasant charges would be pre
ferred against him should he fall to do so ,
pnd gave defendant until April 22 to consider
On April 22 defendant answered that he could
not resign under Intimidation.
Defendant was cited to appear before the
governor on April 30 , at 2 p m. , to show
caus > why he should not be removed from
tfllce. He was subsequently furnished with
coplus of the charges preferred against him
Defendant filed copies of the charg's with
the Hoard of Public Lands and Hulldlngs and
requested a hearing thereon , but said board
from consideration to the governor took no
action therton. Defendant subsequently Hied
with the governor a response to the citation
and pleaded that the governor had no Juris
diction to try the case , that defendant was en
titled to an Impartial tribunal , and that th
Ho.ird of Public Lands and Buildings was the
proper tribunal to hear and determine the
case.
OVERRULED BY THU GOVERNOR.
Notwithstanding such answer , Gov rnoi
Holcomb overruled the objections and pro
ceeded to examine defendant and witnesses
for and against him. Finally the governoi
found against defendant and again Informed
him that he must vacate the hospital. Or
May 18 the governor had removed Dr Abbotl
and rcappolnted him to the superlntendency
and Issued to him a new commission.
Defendant avers that sild chargs have m <
foundation In fact , are not signed by anj
one , are not specific and were concocted bj
Luther J. Abbott and were by fraud Imposet
upon the governor In the hope thereby to ob >
tain the removal of defendant , after It trans
plrcd that the governor had not an arbitrary
power to remove respondent at his more ills
crHlon.
Section S of the answer Is as follows
"And respondent , as advised by counsel , a
matter of law , avers said proceedings before
Silas A. Holcomb , governor , are Insufficient
to sustain ir b ? ground tor removal of de
fendant , because ,
" 1. The governor had no power or Juris
diction to hear the same or to make conclu
slons and findings therecn.
" 2. Because no olllcer or tribunal hai
Jurisdiction therof save only the Board o
Public Linda and Buildings of the state o
Ncbraski , which Is the solo tribunal author
Ized to hear the same.
"J. Because the governor , having befor
determined to remove defendant , was not Im
partial or unbiased or competent to give re
ppondent an Impartial hearing
" 4. Because before the governor defend
ant could not have prociss to coiipel attend
once of witnesses.
" 5 Because ex-parto affidavits were se
cretly obtained or used as evidence on sali
hearing without opportunity to defendant t
confront or cross-examine witnesses.
"C. Because evidence of records and re
ports were considered at the hearing , whlcl
were not disclosed to defendant or opportu
nlty given him to examine , rebut or explali
the same.
" 7 Because the evidence taken U Insufll
dent to sustain the findings mado.
" 8. Because the charges and ex-parte afll
davits were fraudulently concocted and ob
talned and by said Luther J Abbott ImpW' '
upon the governor , who was thereby preju
fllced and deceived to the Injury of defendanl
" 9 , Because the findings made. If true , d
not constitute malfeasance in otflce , or othe
good and sufficient causa for removal of dc
t.ndant.
" 10. Because defendant was required t
take the- burden of proof "
Wherefore , defendant pray ? that he may b
adjudged to have gocd title to the office ante
to hold the same quietly , and that defendanl
Luther J. Abbott , be ousted of all clad
thereto , and that detcndant recover of an
from said Abbott his costs.

PITTSnURG , May 24. At the opening of
the assembly this morning resolutions wcro
adopted asking for a copy of Dr. William
H. Robert's address delivered last night at
the reunion anniversary for publication and
discussion an asupplctncnt to the denomina
tional journal , the Assembly Herald. It was
also decided to raise an anniversary re
union fund of $1,000,000 to liquidate the
debts reported by the various missionary
boards ot every church and a committee ot
twenty-five was appointed to carry the mat
ter Into effect. It was objected to , that the
plan ot a largo fund would reduce the regu
lar contributions of the church besides being
moic difficult to collect than a contribution
Intended for the boards directly , but the
resolutions were passed without opposition.
The committee on bills and overtures and
the committee on theological seminaries wore
expected to present reports , but the mornIng -
Ing hour preceding the regular order ex
pired and they weie shut out.
The standing committee on temperance
then rcpotcd through Its ohaliman. Rev.
Ezra 13. Nowcomb , of La Porto , Ind. , the
previous deliverances of other general as
semblles wore reaffirmed In favor of total
abtslnenco for the Individual and ot the
abolition of the liquor tralllc The "legisla
tive panacea" was disparaged In contiast
with methods of repression and cducatlno.
Elder George Erwln , secretary of the com
in It toe , also presented the work done by his
colleagues
The Interest In the discussion grew so
great that the second order of the day was
pushed aside by general consent. A shower
of resolutions fell upon the assembly , rang'
Ing all the way fiom the subject of nonalcoholic
coholic communion wlno to an Injunction to
members of the denomination not to vote In
favor of the granting of license. The latter
was adopted as the view of the assembly ,
but on the former question a decided oppo
sition was developed. After a long and splt-
Itcd , though somewhat disorderly debate.
It was decided that the "unfermentcd trult
of the vine fullllls all the conditions of the
sacrament of the Lord's supper. "
Picas for prohibition of the liquor traffic
were made , but no action In that direction
was taken.
The ropoit of the * committee on theological
seminaries was made a special order for
Saturday morning.
At the afternoon session of the general as-
scmblj a quietus was given to the movement
to secure b cnnlal or triennial sessions of the
a semblj In place of the present annual
meeting. It was strongly advocated by the
presbytery ot Lackawanna and It was op
posed by representatives from Philadelphia
and Now York It was objected to on the
proposal that In many minds It had orig
inated In n loss of respect for the general as
sembly Itself , as well as from a dislike for
the doctrinal discussions of the past few
yeirs.
The larger part of the afternoon was de
voted to hearing delegates from other ecclesi
astical bodies From the United Presbyterian
general assembly greeting were brought by
Rov. Dr. Wallace , Its statistical clerk ; Dr.
John A. McNaugher of Allegheny and Prof.

protest against the action of the general

decided to change his protest to a dissent ,
stating that this was the only course open
to him other than a withdrawal from the
church. Hy motion he was allowed to re
main In the church under dissent.
The afternoon session yesterday was taken
up with the reception of the committee from
the Presbyterian general assembly. For the
Presbyterians , General James A. Heaver
made a speech advocating the union of the
two denominations. His remarks were greeted
with great applause , and Moderator Mc-
Mlchael answered him In the same strain.
Dr Reid read the report ot the committee
appointed to confer with the commissioners
from the Holland Reformed church , looking
toward union. The report showed the pro
gress that has thus far been made by the
committee to the joint conference , and recom
mended that Inasmuch as the synod of the
Holland Christian Reformed church dos not
meet until 18 % the committee on union be
continued with Instructions to negotiate con
cerning any additional propositions that may
be presented , also that a delegate bo ap
pointed to represent the church In the next

the latter church be furnished with a copy
of the confession of faith , catechism , testi
mony and book of discipline.

The attorneys for Governor Holcomb ,
Messrs , Darnell and Fltzpatrick , were this
afternoon preparing the answer to the appli
cation. The answer will allege that the leg
islative action In electing these tlx trustees
wan neither statutory nor constitutional , and
that from 187C until 1805 no legislature of the
state had ever elected any such trustees , but
that , on the contrary , the appointment ot
trustees had been left to the prerogative of
the governor of the state.
Respondent admits , tub enacting and the
approval of "An act.tr ) erect and maintain an
Institution for the illnd , " s mentioned In
relator's petition , but alleges that after the
passage of the act tie | new constitution of
1875 was adopted ard ) ratified by the people
of the state , and that it contained among
other provisions In artfclo v the following
"Section 10. The gov'brn'br ' shall nominate and
by and with the cdvlbe' of the senate ( ex

this constitution , ornlilcli may bo created
by law , and whose 'appointment or election
Is not otherwise by law or herein provided
for ; and no such officers shall bo appointed
or elected by the legislature. "
Respondent further tays that the portion
of the act which provides for the election of
trustees by the leglHlaiu'ro was by said sec
tion 10 amended and repealed , and ls not now
of any force and'effept at all , and all
branches of the state government have so
regarded and acted upon said statute.
Respondent alleges that all acts of said
trustees are without color of law and are
null and void , and that he , as chief ex
ecutive ot the state , has full control of zald
Institution and the sole right to appoint the
trustees and other ofllcers of the blind
asylum.
Respondent further alleges that the ex
ecutive branch of the state government ,
either the Board ot Public Lands and Build
ings or the predecessors In olllce of respond
ent , have had the exclusive control and man
agement of ald Institution for the Blind
ever since the adoption of said constitution ,
and respondent has solo right to appoint
trustees and other officers therefor
Respondent claims that the trustees have
1113 possession or control of the Institution ,
and admits that ho refuses to approve Treas
urer Horn's bond.
