illo a motion for a new trhl , alleging errors
Thin will be nied In due time ami If the new
trial 1 denied by Judge Ilakcr an appeal will

which means that they expect to go to the
supreme court

The crime tvlth which Jo"eph S Hartley
was charged and on which he was tried wa ?
the embezzlement of $180,101.75 , doing the
jirocceda from the pale of a warrant drawn
in accordance with the provMons of n law
jiamcd by the legislature of 1S93. Thh legis
lature passed an act providing , among nu
merous other things , that the linking fund
of the state should bo reimbursed for the
money of that fund which bad been tied up
by the fnllurc of the Capital National bonk
of Lincoln , which amount the legislature
found to be $1M > ,101 75. April 10 , 18:15 : a
warrant was drawn on the general fund for
this amount , the warrant being In the regu
lar form , but Instead of being made pajable
to Hartley na atatc troisurer , It wno inado
payable to him Individually Hartley came
to Omnha with this warrant and negotiated
itR sale through the Omaha National bank ,
the New York correspondent of this bank
taking the warrant at Its faco. The notice
of the occeptaiice of the warrant wJs re
ceived by the Omaha National bank April 2C ,
and In the meantime Assistant Cashier Hatch
of the Omaha National had asked Hartley
what ho should do with the pro-
deeds when received. Hatch testified on the
trial that Hartley told him to "open an
account and pa = s It up to my credit" and
the books of the Innk showed that Halch
did exactly aa Hartley had told him , the full
amount of the warrant appealing on the
books of the bank on April 26 to Hartley's
personal credit These same books of the
Omaha Notional bank showed that Hartley
waa In the habit of earning an enormous
balance to his personal credit at all times ,
thin balance sometimes tunning as high as
$250,000 It was also shown by these books
that the personal account of Hartley had
lii-en clewed temporarily a short time before
this warrant was ! > old and the full amount of
the warrant was checked out of the bank
within n few month * after the credit was
made , the greater part "of the money being
transferred to the First National bank of
Lincoln , which was not a Htate depository
at that time. From hero It was Impossible
to trace the money , the defense only being
able to produce checks which It alleged ac
counted for ? riO,000 of It , these being checks
distributing that amount among MX banks In
different parts of the state which were slate
depositories The records of the treasurer's
olllco , however , did not show any entry of
this amount , which , according to the claim
of the defense , was transferred from Bart-
loy'ri personal account.
WAUHANT CONVimTHD INTO CASH.
Just before Hartley went out of offlce , his
term expiring January G , 1897 , he called In
this wariant and It was sent to the Omaha
National bank for collection. Hartley wan
In the Omaha National bank when he drew
a check upon the general fund of the state
for the pajmcnt of the \varrint and accrued
interest , amounting to ? 201.884 05 The treas
urer's books showed till * entry Hartley's
deputy testifying on the- witness stand that
lie nude the entries at Dnitley's dictation
Just before the letter's term of office ex
pired.
The records In the tieasurer's office do
not show any iccord of ( his warrant for
$180,101.75 with the exception of the war
rant register , which allows that the war
rant was registered for payment qn account
of there being no money with which to cash
It , but this register does not show the name
of the payee of the warrant or of the holder ,
although this data Is entered regarding every
other warrant pissing through the office.
A part of the line of defense was that
$104,000 of this money was used bj Hartley
to pay for bonds of SaunderB and Otoe coun
ties , which the Hoard of nducatlonal Lands
and I'mids ordered him to purchase with
money In the permanent school fund , Th"
defense alleged that Hartley paid for these
bonds out of his personal account , thereby
returning to the state this amount from the
amount realized on the warrant. The books
of the treasurer's ofllce , however , showed
that the permanent school fund had been
reduced by the amount required to pay for
thcso bands , and the natural Inference was
that It Hartley had used his own money , as
ho claimed , ho had taken an equal amount
out of thu school fund of the state and bad
not accounted for It. >
IIAIU ) FOUGHT BATTLE.
The ttlol of the defaulting ox-treasurer
was ono of the most hotly contested legal
battles over fought In Douglas county , if
not In the state. Hartley's attorneys , T. J.
Mahoncy of Omaha and C 0. Whedon of
Lincoln , are admitted on all hands to bo
nnimii ; the most able criminal lawyers In
the state Old pr.ictltlonero at the bar were
unanimous In the opinion that they had
never seen a case where every step was so
warmly contested as In the Hartley trial
No pretext for delay known to the Intri
cacies of criminal law was left untried and
the Innumerable objections raised by the
defense to every step In the proceedings
resulted In dragging the case Into the llilul
wrcK when the snmo amount of testimony ,
In an ordinary trial would not have oc
cupied the time of the court and
Jury more than three daj.j , Jt Is
not too much to say that thuro were
not a dozen questions asked by the
prosecution dining the whole tilal which
wore not objected to by the defense and
nrgue.l at length. The icsult was that there
was a long delay hot ween questions , and the
technical points raised necessitated calling
and recalling of witnesses in order to over
come technical points , and this confused the
testimony to ouch an extent that It was al
most : in utter Impossibility for a layman to
follow It In any connected manner. The
multitude of book accounts Introduced by
both fddes , with their hieroglyphic marks ,
Intelligible only to the elect , was another
element which sorted to confuse the Jury , and
iv hen the defense Introduced Us evidence pur
porting to show what had been done with
the money the whole tistlmoii ) resolved Ittelf
Into on Inextricable mass of figures.
'Iho Intc-icnU of the Mate were In the
hands of Attorney tlcnc-ial C J. Smjth and
County Attouicy H II Daldilge , who did
the active work In the caao , with Assistant
Attoine ) 01 n era 1 i : . I' . Smith and Assistant
County Attorney II I. Day acting In an
idvUory capacity. The objections raised by
the defense came with such rapidity and
involved biich Important technical points of
criminal procedure that the counsel ( or the
itate were kept on the alert Kteplug their
testimony in line and ovptcoming the oh-
IcUlous raised by the other bide. So thor
oughly was this done that It almost passes
the comprehension of i-ome of the members
of the bar who have watched the case how
the defence Is going to 11 ml grounds for
i motion for a new trial , every technical
point having been argurd and adjudicated

Mrs. Annie Besant , theosophlst , writer and
lecturer , delivered o lecture on "Man , the
Master of HH Destiny" at Crelghton theater
last evening.
Mrs. iDesant Is returning eastward from a
tour around the world lu the Interest of the
London Theosophlcal socletj. She Is accom
panied on her journey by Counters Wacht-
melster and Miss Anna Wilson , both prom
inent loaders lu the field of modern tbeoso-
phy. The tour began In this country In New
York City , and the lecturer has delivered
addresses before all the prominent branches
of the society of which she Is a member In
all thd western cities.
In a conversation last evening Mrs. Hesant
spoke enthusiastically of the strides which
theo r-phy had taken In America and was In
clined to think that the societies with the
larger membership were encountered In the
western portion of the new world. She Is a
woman of charming conversational powers
and a strong personality. In the lectuic last
night she held her auditors from the opening
sentences to the close In a sllenco of rapt
attention.
The address dealt principally with the
forces mot In life which mold the character
of a person. "Man Is , more strictly speak
ing , a slave to destiny than Its master , " said
the speaker , and she defined this assertion
by giving Its logical deductions In the Influ-
fcnces thrown around a human being In Its
character and the circumstances surrounding
its birth The evolution of plijslcal foims ,
mind development , and the theory of the
re-Incarnation of the soul as It passed from
one existence to another tn Its effort toward
perfection was dwelt upon'
The three funaraental laws conducing to
the development of the soul were stated to
bo the ) power of thought , desire , and the Influence -
fluonco of our actions during an earthly ex
istence upon two ll > es of others. TUe disre
gard of any ot these , principles was fraught
with disaster to the sttuggllng eoul as It
fought for supremacy In life.
The lecture concluded with a summary of
the theories as advanced , by modern theoso-
pblsts.

A charming reception was given yesterday
afternoon by the Department of Philosophy
of the Woman's club to Mrs. Annlo Besant.
Mrs. Andrews , the leader ot the department ,
presented the women individually to the dis
tinguished guewt , after which she Introduced
her from the platform.
Mrs. Besant's address was devoted to the
scope of the Thoooophlcal society , which she
said demanded assent to but one article of
faith , viz : the brotherhood of man. It can
have no creed , for creeds are of the Intellect
and devlslvo , while spiritual life Is of the
soul , whj o charncterlstlc function Is to
unify. The Theosophlcal .society comes not to
destroy , but to fulfil , to bring to light truths
which once belonged to all icllgions , but
which have been lost. Mrs , Braaut spoke
with the power of deep religious feeling , com
bined with logical and finished expression
and at the close of her address she cleared
away many a mystery of theoaophy In her
answers to the questions which came from
every quarter.
Icefrrshments were served at 5 o'clock by
Mrs. Damon , Mrs Strawn and Mrs. Berry ,

LINCOLN , June 22 ( Special ) The as
sessment abstract as made up from the re
ports sent to the stele auditor front the va
rious counties of the state plainly showa
pome of the Ineeiunlltles possible under our
present assessment system. Tor Instance ,
the abstract of 1896 does not Indicate that a
single bicycle was asse-ssed , while the money
Invested Jn bicycles In this state Is becoming
something Immense. H Is said that last yenr
In some parts of the stole bicycles were as
sessed , but that they were not lifted under
n separate heading because the blanks did
not Include bicycles In the printed titles. In
Lancaster coJity , however an attempt to as
sess the wheels was made last jear , the
schedules being remodeled for that purpose.
The result was that from the countiy pre
cincts elxty-sU bicycles , valued at $605 , were
reported for taxation , vvhllo In the city of
Lincoln 238 were found , valued at $3,144 In
the Fifth ward seventy-one blcjcles wcie
found , whlb this year the assessor failed to
find a single Wheel In that ward The wheel
men ot Lincoln boast that there are 6.000
bicycles In the city and none ot them would
bo willing to estimate the average value at
less than $50. . . . ,
Another curious thing shown by the ab
stract Is that last year there weie but J1J.515
wotth ot diamonds and Jewelry In the entire
state , and of this $8,041 was from Kearney
county alone , Indicating that that county
owned almost one-half ot the total amount of
diamonds aud Jewelry In the state. The val
uation on the same Items In Douglas county
was only $4,824 , and In Lancaster county
only $045. Dakota county had no watches
or clocks , no diamonds and only seventeen
sewing machines , valued at $09. In Keith
county there were forty-one watches ana
clocks , valued at SI cents each , vvhllo Colt.vc
timepieces valued
county contained forty-four
ued at $294 Hlchardson county , one ot tue
wealthiest In the state , shows only about
$1G,000 deposited In banks , while In some
other counties not a dollar Is shown , and ap
parently no bank stock Is owned by citizens

The city offlclnls propo o to make another
attempt to enforce the Ire ordinance and will
appeal to the district court for au Injunction
compelling Crosby & Rlrh to desist from
selling Ice within the city limits. Mayor
Ensor said > esterda > that tie * had taken the
ordinances to a roupto of well known Omaha
attorneys and Ihcv had given as an opinion
that It was perfectly good and would hold
In the upper court. Tills question decided
the mayor and he at once announced that ho
would enforce the ordinance In order to
protect the cltv from damage suits The dis
trict court will bo askeil today for an In
junction against Crosby & Rich , and If this
Is not obtained the firm will bo arrested
hero acaln
tn order to make a proper showing In the
district court the mayor dltected Inspector
Carroll lo obtain five or six samples of Ice
from the Ice houses of Crosby * Rich Tluvso
samples nro to be taken to one of the col
leges In Omaha and melted , after which the
liquid will all be phcrd In one vessel and
anulyzod If the trial before Police Judge
Chrlstinaun last week the court he-Id that
the teMIng of one sample was not Milllclent ,
so alt samples were ordered taken.
Two chomlrnl trsls of this Ice were made
last winter before It was cut by a firm doing
business In Omaha , who lire-tided purchasing
the crop If It was all right The analysis
made nt that time vv s so unfavorable Hint
this firm abandoned the Idea of making the
put chase.
Mavor Entxir said that unless lhe nrdl-
mnce was enforced , now that It had bt'cn
passed and become n law , the South Omiiln
Ice company could sue the city for Injuilng
Its business and verv likely recover dam
ages On the other hand. If the ordinances
was not enforced Crosby H'rlt would have
a chance to silo the city tot damaging their
business and causing to be made public the
chemical analysis of their product The only-
way the city can protect Itself will be to
enforce the ordinance , nt least that Is the
way attoiney talked to .Mayor Ensor about
the matter , and this will be done

Mayor Ensor yesterday in regard to tin-
unsanitary condition of Mud circk , and

As the council does not meet again until
June 30 the mayor Is seriously considering
the advl&ablllty of calling a special meeting
to take some action. La t year when the
complaints came in , n committee was ap
pointed to Investigate , and located the si-it
of the trouble at Swift's A connection with
the sanitary sewer was made by Swift anl
Company , nt the request of the council , and
It was , thought that theie would be no more
complaints , but this year they come In
stronger than ever The mayor says that
ho is F.Ulsllod that the 111 smelling refu.--o
which runs Into the creek Is washings fiom
the stock yards Ho proposes to have thin
stopped , and will appeal to the couits if
necessary The stock yards company , he
lid will be compcllel to abate the nulsamc
He thinks that bhould the stock vaidb olll
chls lefuse to obcv an order of the council
In regald to the milter , that they can bu
brought to time by pioceedings in the dis
trict court. The cicek , as It is now , Is a
disease bleeder and n mcnaco to health , and
something must be done , and that at once.
