ATTORffl WEST GOES FREE Last Official Act in the Bolln Jury Bribery Oases , THREE JUDGES AGREE ON THE VERDICT Opinion of .ItiilKi * HnUi-r , Howi-ver , IN In I IIPnliirc' or n Scotch Vrr- illct ( ioi-N Into UiiHrt-N Out- tlio llvuuril. Judge Dakcr yesterday morning handed flown the verdict In the case In which Joel W. West , n member ot the Douglas county bar , uns tried on the cliargo of contempt ot court , the accusation heliiK that ho had pro cured the bribing of n Juror In the first trial of Henry llolln , the ex-city treasurer , who was nfterwnrd convicted of embezzling $105.500 of public funds , A few attorneys and the usual number of attaches of the court comurl : < * l the nudl- once when Judge Ilakcr ascended the bench , accompanied by Judges Keysor anil Powell of the euulty court , whom ho had Invited to fill with him and assist in passing upon the facia In the casi- . Henry Holln was an Interested spectator , sitting beside West , and listening Intently to the opinions expressed by the judges. Two of West's counsel , At torneys Grt'cno anil Dnldwln , were In court , and the remainder of the spectators com prised attorneys who happened Into the room. As the bailiff concluded his "Hear ye ! hear ye ! " Judge llaker announced that n decision would bo icndered In the case against Joel W. West , and asked Judge Powell to speak ( list. Judge l'ow ll gnvo his opinion , speaking substantially as follows : "After the evidence In this case wns sub mitted Judge Keysor and myself were In vited to read the testimony and confer with Judge IJuker In regard to a finding. We have not hod the advantage of seeing the witnesses on the stand and of hearing them testify , but I heard a portion of the argu ments. The offense , in Its nature. It criminal ilnd the rules of criminal pro cedure should bo applied to the evidence. It Is admitted that one of the juiors In the first trial ot Henry Holln was bribed. II the defendant In this case , n man of superloi intelligence and an olllcer of this court , Is Kullty no puilshment could bo too severe On the other hand , ho Is entitle 1 to the pre- mimptlon of Innocence. In my opinion the evidence In this case Is not sufficient to re move the presumption of innocence. Judgi Keysor and myself sit In this case In tin attitude of jurors. Wo can only pass upoi : the facts and have no power to render t Judgment or pass upon the law. " Ol'INlON UJUIH3E K12YSOU. Judge Keysor then gave his opinion , sub Btantially In the following language : "In a case ot this kind the proof shoulc ho the same as In a criminal case ; when the act Is n crime as well as contempt o court , the evidence should bo sulllclcnt ti establish the guilt of the defendant bcyoiu a reasonable doubt. I have not heard tin arguments In this case , but 1 huvo gem over the evidence carefully and have studlei it In the light of a juror. "There Is one point which , If proven would , In my mind , be BUfllclcnt to establlsl the guilt ot the defendant If It was prove ! that West sent the note to Fitzpatrlck' house after the jury was empaneled It wouli be proof of the guilt of the defendant Fitzpatrlck testified that the note was sen to his house after the jury had been cm paneled ; West's stenographer also tcstlfle that she delivered the note at Kltzpatrlclc1 house during the trial of the case , but I H not believe her testimony Is entitled t credence for the reason that she was mis taken In her testimony on anothe material point and she la not entitled t credence on this point , unless her test I mony was supported by corroborative evl clcnco. I do not mean to say that sh testified falsely with the Intention to do sc but I think she might have been mistake on this point the same as she was o : another point. This leaves the point en tlroly between Fliupatrlck and West. Wcs denies that the note was sent to Fltzpat rick's house during the progress of th cose. In a case like this , where one wit ness Is self-convicted and the defendant I of previous good character , I should tak the testimony of the defendant rather tha of Fltzpatrlck. Therefore , I find that o this material point the testimony of Wcs should bo taken and that ho Is not guilty c this act. " JUDGE liAKKU HAS HIS VIEWS. Judge linker then addressed himself t the defendant and his attorneys about a follows : "I called In my associates to sit with in In this case to pass upon the facts bccaus I am familiar with a number of outsld facts which could not bo brought Into th case so as to appear as n part of th record. On the record of the case as stands I concur with my associates , but o account of the outside facts I do not cor cur. cur."I "I have learned from good authority great many facts In connection with till case which could not possibly have bee brought In hero , but which satisfy me of ti | Kullt of the defendant. This ease was worke up very carefully , and I must say mo ! creditably , by Captain Mostyn. Ho worke ; on Sweeney and ( lump and got In their goo graces. It Is true he may have told thci some lies , but the circumstances wnrrnutc him In doing thla. However that may In ho met Gump and Sweeney several time and they refused to talk to him about II ; case. Ho told them that Fltzpatrlck hn received $5,000 for his work in the case an had given them but $50. Ho also told thei ho would see Fltzpatrlek and try to mail him disgorge , and finally ho succeeded I getting an order on Kitzpatrlck dlrectln htm to pay Mostyn money for their share c the transaction. Ho saw them later or repicsentcd that ho had scon Fltzpatrlcl but that Fltzpatrlck said he did not recof nlze the handwriting In the order and pn tci'ded to know nothing about the matte MoMyn then persuaded them to make n affidavit setting fotth the facts , which wei afterwards testified to on the stand by Fit : Patrick himself Mostyn represented that 1 wanted this paper to use It to Induce Fit : Patrick to glvo up some more of the mane All of this tlmo Mostyn had not seen Fit Patrick at all , but he made Gump ai Sweeney believe that he saw him every 'la They made the nllldnvlt and it was intr rtucrd In evidence In another case. Tl statements contained In that affidavit wei testified to on the stand by Fltzpalrlck. A these things go to prove , to my mlud , tin West Is guilty. "Another thing : It was current about tl court hous.0 . during the tlmo the Jury w out that the jury blood nine to thrcu f conviction , West came to mo and wnnti the Jury kept out until It agreed. This ovldenco to mo that ho had some ultrrl motive that ho must have been confide that If the Jury were kept out long cnoui 601110 of them might got tired. "To me It Is proved that Gump was brlb and I don't think he brlbe.a himself. Som body brlbi'd him and that somebody was friend of Wcct. That friend kept mum a did not say aord to anybody except to de all knowledge of the act until after the cases Jiad been commenced and after ho h seen an attorney , who advised him to makt clean breast of the wholn business. Tliou told the whole story. "Taking the record and the outsldo fac together , there Is no doubt in my mind li , that West Is guilty , but on the record na stands , mul I am bound by the records ; I fl the defendant not guilty and ho Is d charged , " . . , Tlllltn VICTORY KOH MOOHi : \ VliiHtftiln In Hi" Hull Ill-ought I Hud' * , Jmlgo Slabaugh linndoJ down a declbl In thu I'ttso of C. 13.

JURTTO LEAVE THE ELKHORN latcd for General Manager of tlio St. Paul & Omaha , IUGHES LIKELY TO BE BURT'S SUCCESSOR Unll'-ny CliniiKOH HritiiKlit Alioiit liy Mr. Wlntrr llnvliiK ( linir to the Northern 1'nelllo HnU- ny Xoloi. Since the announcement that Edwin W. Vlntcr , general manager of the Chicago , St. 'aul ' & Omaha road , would become president if the reorganized Northern Pacific Ratlrorut "ompatiy , speculation has been rife ns to the icrsouallty of Mr. Winter's successor. The belief Is common among railway men In his city that Horace 0. Ilurt , nt present ; enernl malinger ot the Fremont , Elkhorn < i Missouri Valley road , will succeed Mr. Winter as general manager ot the Omaha road. This belief Is strengthened by rc- lorts from St. Paul , the headquarters of the Oinnlin road , that such a promotion Is an as sured fact. It Is stated that Mr. Winter will go with the Northern Pacific on July 10 , nntl that then Mr. Hurt will remove 'rom this city to St. Paul. Horace a. Hurt Is known as one ot the : nest capable and clllclent managers in the entire Northwestern system. He was for- ucrly chief engineer of the Chicago & North western Hue and was promoted from that position to the more responsible one that he now occupies. Ho has been connected with the North western system for moro than twenty years. In Omaha ho has made a host of friends , who will be reluctant to have him leave the city. One of the most prominent railway offi cials In the city sal Id yesterday afternoon .hat he regarded such n change ns n very natural one , and that as soon as Mr. Winter's resignation ivas announced that railway men generally Immediately thought of Mr. Hurt ns the now general manager ot the Omaha road ilo said that It might be possible that Mr. Ilurt would continue as gen eral manager of the Elkhorn , while filling the duties ot his new office. Other re.ilioad men , however , are of the opinion hat Mr. IJurt will resign the managerial du- .Ics of the Elkhorn when he assumes those of the Omaha road. Just who will succeed ilm , should he go to St. Paul , la another natter of conjecture. The name of Charles ? . Hughes , at present general superintendent of the Elkhorn , is mentioned In connection with the position. lie stands In direct line for promotion to the general managership , and his appointment to succeed Mr. Ilurt would occasion no surprise among railroad men In this city , while It would be most favorably received by employes of the Elk- liorn. lioth General Manager Burt and Genera Superintendent Hughes were out of the clt > yesterday. It was stated at the Elkhori headquarters that they wore not It St. Paul nor in Chicago , but were out on a regular tour of Inspection through the state. Wednesday they were In Lincoln and frou there they went west. Nothing Is known ut the headquarters concerning the pro posed changes , beyond the mere fact tha the rumors have been widespread and appar ently have some foundation.
