"That IB not true , " rejoined General
Cowln.
"I say It Is true , " returned the attorney
general.
" 1 object to that , " Raid General Cowln.
"Think ot A man elected by the state of
Nebraska making such a statement to the

"I ay It Is true c to the defendants , "
once- more nngrlly retorted Attorney Gen

The court called the counsel to order mid
adjourned until 2 o'clock.
TllinS ANOTHER MOVE.
When court reconvened In ths afternoon
Attorney General Smyth naked permission
to withdraw the nmcndcd petition. Thr permission -
mission was granted. The attorney general
then made application to fllo nn amendment
to his reply to tlio nnswor of the defcnsa ,
In which amendment wns Incorporated the
name mnltrr as he had put In the amended
petition , lie wished , however , that It bo
understood that If the filing was allowed It
was only ni ) condition that the defense bo
not entitled lo a continuance.
The defense protested to any offer with
such a condition. Judge Powell himself |
stated that ho could not predict what hla I
ruling would bo on the matter of a contlnu- ,
nnco If the amendment was allowed. |
The defense also objected to the filing of |
the amendment. After another argument
Judge Powell refused In allow the amend- |
mcnl to be filed. Ho said that the waivers .
formed very material evidence , but ho held
that the proper place for them to be set up
was In the petition. Ho had allowed the
attorney general to Incorporate them lu nn ,
amended petition. ThlH perm'sslon ' had not :
been accepted and the court slid ho would
not allow the matter to he put In the reply. .
Ho again gave the attorney general nn op
portunity to file the amended petition , which .
the latter refused to accept. The court then
announced that the case would proceed un
der thii original plcadlnrn and ordered the
Jury to be brought Into the court room.
The Jury was lust In the jury box on Tues
day afternoon and they filed into the court
with every Indication ot relief that the trial
was to bo resumed. Any hope they mlgiit
li-vn had In thin direction wns soon dashed
to" the ground. Within twcnty-llvo minutes
they were again sent out and did not come
back during the afternoon.

LINCOLN' . Oct. 21. ( Special. ) Governor
Holccmb Is out today with a long letter ,
written In defense of his connection with
the Hartley bond , and the charge made by
Attorneys Hansom and Cowln that the gov-
cinor Is responsible for the defalcation
through failure to perform his duty. In his
prefatory remarks Governor Holcomb com
ments on the men who made up the late
republican convention , especially criticising
the committee on resolutions , nnd goes on :
What nre the faets concerning my eon-
nr-ptlon - lth these republican def.ilcatlons ?
It l.i true I was governor ; tn.it I approved
Sir. Hartley's bond. It is further true th.it
I required In good fill h it full nnd complete
tuTOuntliiR1 by him of the fundH of the state
treasury nt the beginning of his second
term of adieu nnd my nrst term. In the
Hist place 1 have .ill nlong contended and
yet contend thnt Mr. ( Hartley should hnvi-
Imd bin bond approved , his accounting com.
pletcd In nil respects and huve entered
upon his Kcconil term at the very moment
thnt 1 entered upon my first term. In this
contention 1 nm supported by the constitu
tion nnd stutlito.q. which provide Ui.it all
suite olllcetH ahull qti.illfy nnd enter upon
f.o discharge of the duties of their ollicvn
for the term beginning the flr.it Thursday
after the llrst TuoEiluy In Jiimmry ne > x'
after their election. It will thus bo seen
that Mr. Hartley should have qiulliled for
hi * second term and entered upon his dutlt *
at thu same time I bejfan my llrst term. A
responsibility was thrown upon me by h'.s
failure to thus qualify prior to the "iot
Jiimmry , ; ho time llxed by law , which I
sr.oiild not hnvo boon required to assume
nnd which belonged ns I umlorrttnml the
law , to my predecessor. Hut this \uis not
done nnd I was compelled lo moot the con-
dltloRH which I found to I'xlHt. 1 did so to
the best of my ability nnd with perfce'-
fldvllty to the ipeopii- .
HIS KXI'KUIENCK WITH THK HOND.
It has hern said of late and often repeated
that the bond of Mr. Hartley ' .vns insutlldent
when approved , and this falsehood , like
many others , has grown until now I : Is
boldly asserted that the bond was worth-
leys and that I know It to bo such ' .vhen I
accepted it. Lot us see about tills. The
bond was presented to mo Into In the evenIng -
Ing of January 3. I advised Mr. Hartley
tha : I could not possibly act In so Important
n matter that nlsjht ; that I could not pass
nn Intelligent Judgment regarding Its f-ulli-
clency without careful examination and ex-
ontlcd Inquiry ; that the sureties were all
s rangers to me and I know but little , if
anything about the'.r financial responsi-
jlllty. 1 then talked with numerous people
ibout the financial standing of the sureties
ind nil spokp favorably MS to tholr being
irrsoiiH of high business standing and rec
ognized financial responsibility. I asked the
ild of the commercial agencies and their
tiporl'S , a great many of wnlch I now have
on lilo , gave to t"ie parties signing the bond
i ratintr In many Inslnneos greatly In excess -
cess of the amount for which they justified
and lu all Instances showing that all .sure-
ICM wen- financially responsible and proper
lerson.s to bo accepted as sureties on olill-
jatlons of this character. The. aggregate
of the value of the property owned by these
sureties , subject to execution and sale on
udlclnl process , far exceeded In amount the
' urn mimed ns the penalty of the bond. Tin1
reports , I undertake to say , .wore rollablp ,
rus.'worthy ' and such as any prudent , care ,
'ul business man would have relied upon
o ascertain the responsibility of the sure-
.los on the bond. ,
But further : The amount ot the bond was
ixod when presented to me January 3 , at
il.VOCOO. I regarded this as loaor than it
n jus.Ice ought to bo , but did not feel war
ranted in rejecting the bond outright and ,
: > ecnupe the sureties seemed to mis after
careful and painstaking Inquiry and Inves
tigation to be barely sulllclent nnd tlio
amount of the bond extremely low I re-
qucsied Mr. Hartley for additional sureties.
These were furnished and all justified
the aggregate by their solemn oaths forever
over $2,000C 0. Without going Into dotall
regarding the different Individuals com.po&-
tiR these sureties , sulllco it to say that they
are persons -vho have reputations for per
sonal Integrity nnd standing and financial
responsibility of the very highest character ,
nearly all of them being actively engaged
in reputable business nnd having business
connections equal to nny who might be se
emed : is sureties on undertakings of the
kind under consideration. The bond was
good and sulllclont then , and it Is now so
far as I can learn.
HIS REGARDS TO RANSOM.
Governor Holcomb refers .to the legislative
committee's report on the bond briefly and
continues :
In the suit on Mr. Hartley's bond , now
In progress In the district court of Douelas
county , every Imaginable nnd conceivable
defense which the Ingenuity , skill and
learning of counsel for the surety Uefenl-
ants can bring forth l being employed.
They seek to profit by every issue nnd ob-
stmlo which can be raised , whether re
garding the merit ? ! of tbe case or some dry
technicality , and I can readily coneelv1
how these defendants , with a probable
judgment of half a million dollars staring
them In the face , will through tholr counsel
rp.sort to the most domwrnte means to re-
ilcvo themselves of tills responsibility. It
ha been asserted during the trial of this
case that ex-Treasurer Bartley was a de
faulter at the end of Iita first term , nnd
that I bad knowledqo of that fact. An
offer to introduce ovldence to sustain this
charge was made by Mr. Cowln , onu of
the attorneys. I'eoplo generally know how
much Importance attaches to an offer of
this character , especially whoie it is known ,
as must have been known in this lose , that
tbo offer was ono of evidence that did not
respond to the Issues In tlio eicc and could
not relieve the bondsmen , oven If true.
Much has been salil about Mr. Hansom ,
one of the attorneys for the bondsmen ,
making a charge of this kind , and sur-
rlluus nondescript circular.ombolylnjj
thesp assertions as having come from Mr.
Hansom , have been circulated all over the
state , presumably by the republican cam
paign manager.1' . 1 desire only to say thnt
1 have ree Ivc < l a personal letter from Mr.
HniiHom enclosing an editorial from The
Omaha Hoe under the caption , "A Stiirt-
IlnM Arraignment , " and embodying the
MttiMtuncp of these statements. In which Mr.
Hansom says : "I notice the enclose 1 edi
torial In The Hee this morning ( October ! 0
and without thinking it necessary , because
ol1 the source , yut I desire to .say thnt the
tUatcmcnts therein contained are unquali
fiedly falne , nml If you desire to Inquire , 1
refer you to General Cowln , the lending
counsel In the case , and the other attor
neys in the caso. Personally , I made m
offer whatever , but argued the ndmLislblllty
of an offer made by other counsel , but
nowhere wns It claimed in the offer or ar
gument as stated In the editorial. "
SATISFIES HIMSELF.
Governor Holcomb regards this matter as
the most "heartless and' unjustifiable false
hood" ever uttered , Insisting he had every
reason to believe that Hartley's affairs wore
in goad condition. He emphatically denies
having had any knowledge , directly or In
directly , that Hartley waa a defaulter. Ilo
goes on :
Since this palpable fnlrohood has been
refuted , It Is now , us a. dernier ivftort , pub
licly proclaimed that the manner of the iif-
countlng by tin * wtnto treasurer was not
Ftieli mi the law required nnd was , then-
fore , illegal. I wish to cxnmlnu Into thl.s
phofo of the question very brielly. In the
llrst place 1 would have It distinctly under
stood that no responsibility can nttmh to
me lu any manner for whatever wan doiu
nr failed to be donu In the olllce of the
state treasurer prlur to January ( . ISO. ut
the time when I entered upon the active
duties of my position. Whatever condition
existed then and Prior to that tlmo. was < ie.
casloned by the policy of the administra
tion of state affairs by the republican party
mid their rtprt-aentnUvi * . who had hoK
almost uninterrupted control slncu the or
ganization of tin- state , and who had in
to thnt tlmo nnd tlnct * proclaimed through
the MI'Sand upon the stump thnt their
management of thu state's affairs \\aa lion-
rot , economic , straightforward und in the
Interest of th people.
After being Inducted Into olllco and ascer
taining that the suite treasurer hud not
( iiiallM''il under mv predecessor and that the
duty devolved upon me , I immediately set
to work cautiously nnd carefully to dis
charge mv duty In the matter of the quali
fication of the treasurer for his second term
of olllce. Not only did I consider It caru-
fully. hut I also conceived It to bo my duty
to iiscurtuln the true condition of the Mate
treasury nnd secure an accounting of Hit
fluids chargeable to the state ticasurer , in
order to comply with the spirit of the law.
I think I can safely say that never before
In the history of Miu utata had tnich an ac
counting been made certainly not lo in )
knowledge. Hear In mind thnt what I en
deavored to do was to ascertain the trull
regarding the condition of the state treas
ury nnd to ha untlttled thnt the treasurer
had In hla possession and under hla contro
all funds with which he might proper ! )
ic chargeable. I II.-M ! no'thcr In Urn ? , nbll ty
nor facility to cntor Into nn export Investi
gation of thK'i matter. I could only lie ex-
> ectod to make a reasonable effort , situated
n my position ns 1 was , to require a full
ind complete accounting of the funds 1 > e-
onjrlDg to the state treasury. Thin I did.
1 wlMi lo call attention to the fact that
after the enactment of the depository law
jy the legislature. thc > supreme court In nn
opinion handed down In February , U9I , held
lint the provisions of th-e depository law
md no application to educational nnd trust
undu ami that It would bo unlawful to
ItpoRlt these funds In state depositories.
This decl'lon , then , required n separation
of the funds. In the current funds , which
"hould bo deposited In stnto depositories ,
Mr. Hartley accounted for by exhibiting
evidence * ) which lo me were satisfactory
ind which I am ratlsllcd were perfectly re-
lable. lie had practically nil the current
unds for which he wns chargeable In state
lepcsltorles , where they properly belonged.
The other fund" , holnp the educational or
run funds , must then be accounted for in
some other manner. It Ii urged now that
iicso. otr-or funds should nil have been ac
counted for by the production of the actual
cnsh. This wns not done. In the nature
of things It could not he done , and wns not
cqulred to h ? done under-tho law.
HIS Ol'INlON OF THU LAW.
My language hat ) been distorted nnd t
invo her n charged with saying that the
aw requlrlnf the accounting was n fnree
and n rlmin. I have- uttered no wuch senti
ment. 1 have said that to give the law ix
construction which would permit the stats
rcriMirer to go to the banks of Lincoln and
5maha and temporality secure cash equal
ci the amount he wn chargeable with and
exhibit such cnsh as nn accounting nnd
hen return It to the banks from which It
vns obtained , would ba n farce and a sham
ind would throw nlvnolutoly no light upon
he condition of the treasury , leaving Us In
ns much Ignorance as thoimh no .such ac
counting had been had. It Is n fact known
o many that county treasurers have made
sttUetnents by securing temporarily the
cash necessary to balance their account. " ,
eturnlng it to the banks after It hns served
tn purpose , nnd nobody was any wiser as
o the amount of actual funds In the < -on-
rol nnl Tteeplng ot such treasurer. This
VMS rape-dully noticeable In the case of
tnrretl Scott of Holt county , who pro-
luced to the county commissioners niony
wrowcil from the banks of Omaha , for
ho purpose , returned It to the banks nnd
vithln a very short period was found-to bs
r. defaulter tn the amount of neuriy one
lundred thousand dollars. It was in two
soil uf an accounting that I did not be-
leve there wns anv virtue , nnd dd ! not iura
to enjage In. 1 felt It to bo my duty to
enow where the fund- ' wore rather than to
mve somebody 1'lns's fiintls exhibited as
jelor.ijlng . to the state treasury. In doing
his 1 conceived I was complying with the
aw nnd giving to its requirements a sen-
Iblo ccnstiuctlon one In which "tha snlrit
maketh nllve while the letter Itllleth. " 1
examined Mr. Hartley's account * and he
jxhlblteil lo mi" cash In the treasury nnd
certificates of deposit of solvent li.inks in
ho Plate , where IIP had the money on de-
i jlt for safe keeping , for every dollar for
vhleh he could bo held re. ponslble. These
--rllllcates of ilipo.Mt and evidences of
credit i which he held In the- banks had all
he evidences of genuineness , and there
vas not the slightest indication In any
J.irtlculnr that the money which It pur-
> oi ted to represent wns not honestly nnd
ustly to his credit thfre. to be called for
vhcnever It might ) be required by sin order
for Its Investment from th Heard of PMu-
csitlonal Lands nnd Kunita.
Hear In mind that the fact of this money
) eliiB deposited- different banks was n
condition that existed when 1 examined
he treasurer's books and a condition which
existed , which was upheld , which wa.s cn-
lorEcd , wHch was defended by republicans ,
under i > , republican rule and regime. In the
iffairs of this state for u number of years
iiiut.
Governor Holcomb explains that ho only
did what his predecessors did in the matter
of accepting certificates of deposit , and makes
i lengthy argument concerning the law on
: ho matter , and winds up this phase of his
etter thus :
Not only did I require a full and com-
lot" accounting from Mr. Hartley at the
beginning of bis seco.id term , but during
ciich semi-annual period thereafter I re
quired fiom him a report In writing , anil
these are the only reports that ure on llle
in this olilce made by any . tate treasurer ,
showing In detail the amount of moneys
on hand , the amount deposited in the dif
ferent depository banks and where de
posited , and , In fact , a complete exposition
uf thu condition of the stale treasury at
the close of each semi-annual period. ThU
Is all I could do under the constitution and
the law. This waa done , nnd never had
been done prior thereto.
MONEY THAT BARTLEY TOOK.
Wandering slightly from hia text , but re
ferring to the money stolen by Bartley , the
governor says :
Of the moneys in which Mr. Bartley Is In
default , $200,000 Is for curcrnt funds. Reck
less. Indeed , would be the individual who
for one moment would insinuate thnt I.vas
In the remotest degree connected with tht. >
shortage ot over $200.000. The legislature
irad an nppioprlat on to reimburse the s nk-
Ing fund. Scarcely had the act become a
law than a voucher , adjusted by a republi
can state auditor , approved by a republican
secretary of state , was made out In favor
of Mr. Hartley , not as state treasurer , but
In his individual capacity , and upon which
a voucher 'i\as drawn In his favor , regis
tered , and by him taken to a leading bank
In Omaha ami there negotiated and the
money disposed of or dissipated In some
way unknown to me. This warrant , less
than ten days prior to the expiration of
'Mr. ' Hartley's term of olllce , was paid and
canceled. Not one step In the entire
transaction was known to anyone , so far
as my knowledge gous , except these repub
lican state ollioials and the hank otllclals
who negotiated the sale of the warrant.
Yet these arrant hypocrites would have the
people ot the state of Nebraska believe that
1 In some ' > vay have been derelict In my
duty because of this loss of over $200,000 to
lh people of the state. To what dfipth of
Infamy will they go in order to distract the
attention of the people from their own
crimes and misdemeanors ?
To return to the school fund , something
over $ : iOO.OOO of which was not accounted for
by > Mr. Hartley at the close of his .second
term. What is the condition of this fund
and how has it been managed ? The legis
lature undertook to secure its deposit In de
pository banks and the supreme court held
that It was not lawful to do It. The legis
lature undertook to have the state treasurer
buy state warrants with It when there was
no money In the general fund , and the su
preme court held he coulil not do it. The
Bo.ird of Educational Lands nnd Funds un
dertook to direct the state treasurer to pur
chase state warrants with this uninvested
school fund and hold thorn as an investment
for the benefit of t.ie school children of Ne
braska. A case was mad < up and the supreme
premo court held that such investment
could not he mndi unless nt the pleasure
and with the consent of the person holding
the warrant. The supreme court has in fuel
given us a line of decisions from the very
beginning which In effect permitted the
s.ato treasurer to keep this enormous fund
under his own control , care nnd custody a
temptation In Itself to fraud , malfeasance
In ntllce and defalcation.
Governor Holcomb concludes his letter
with n review of his efforts to secure the
Investment of the Idle money in the school
fund In state waran : > ts.

LINCOLNOct. . 21. ( Special. ) In the brief
lust fllcil In tlic supreme court by the attor
neys of Joseph I ! . Hartley and the amended
petition which goes In company with It anew
now trial for Hartley Is asked for. There
are 235 specifications of error on the part of
Iho trial court as reasons why the new trial
should be granted. It 'is ' asserted that the
warrant was Insufilelont , In that It did not
reclto the substance of the accusation , and
that the whole proceeding was Illegal , for
the further reason that substantially the
same action was pending In the district court
of Lancaster county. To substantiate this
Iho brief ROCS Into the history of the case ,
showing that on the 19th day of April , 1807 ,
: ho attorney general filed with the county
ludgo of Lancaster county a complaint ,
charging Hartley with the same nets com
plained of In this case , and upon which a
warrant WJH Issued and Dartley arrested. At
this time It.mloy waived examination and
gnvo bond for his appearance at the next
.crm of the district court. It is also shown
hat on May 27. 1S97 , the county ntiornoy of
Lancaster county had filed an Information
containing eighteen counts , charging the de-
'eudant with the tame offenses that were
: harged In the cas& tried In Douglas ounly ,
It Is 'further thown that on the 27th day of
May , 1S97 , the attorney general commenced
an action in Douglas county on the sjme
iharge. The attorneys for the defendant
lied a plea In abatement not later than ten
minutes after U o'clock , on that day und the
motion to dismiss the Lancaster county case
was not nude until half past -1 o'clock of tiie
same day. Thus it is Intended to show the
u-ndoncy of two actions for the same of-
'cnso. '
The Insufficiency of the complaint made in
Douglas county Is set up because "no facts
are slated which show that the instrument
set forth and with the embezzlement of
which the defendant Is charged was law-
'ully issued or that It was of Any value. "
They say "it should have been alleged In
Jils count of the Information that a proper
voucher had been presented to the auditor
ind upon such presentation he had drawn
his warrant , " this being the manner pre
scribed by the act ot April 10 , 1SD5 , for the
ssuanco of such warrants.
It Is alleged that when the prosecutor
struck out ot the case the charge of embez
zlement of the warrant he also struck out
ill testimony given in support of that charge ;
and alao that the third count ot the Informa-
lon , on which Uartley was convicted , neither
.he state nor county were mentioned , not
stating that the alleged crime was commit-
: ed within the jurisdiction of the court.
Neither did It state in what manner the
money was used or converted so that the
court could have , determined whether the
use was Illegal , It is set out that the lu-
'ormation is bad ibccause it does not state
Lhat a demand had been made on the de
fendant for the public money which came
Into hla custody by virtue of his olllce. The
overruling of the motion to compel the prose
cuting attorney to elect upon which counts
the defendant should be tried Is charged
as an error , as nlsA was the overruling of the
challenges oE the jurors , Alfred I ) . Cox , \V.
I' . Church , Fred A. Touipklns and George
S. Mack.
There are many specifications of Irregu
larity and misconduct on part of the prose
cuting attorney on account of dlsc'.osurre
made in open1'court before the Jury of im
proper matter. ' It is claimed that such an
nouncements were "made In pursuance of a
preconceived plan and arrangement between
the county attorney and the attorney gen
eral , even if no other ofllcer was included. "
Particular mention Is made of the bribery
sensation , as the result of a plan to an
nounce It In the presence ot the Jury to
prejudice them. It Is further set out that
"during the trial the presiding judge over
objection repeatedly examined witnesses and
In the presence of the Jury made remarks
to witnesses and to counsel prejudicial to
the defendant , and which prevented him
from having a fair trial. " The testimony
regarding the Issuance ot the warrant and
the cashing of the check Is reviewed at con
siderable length and numerous authorities
are cited to show that errors were commit
ted. The form of the verdict brought In by
the jury , whcro It is stated "we do And the
amount embezzled to be $151,881.45 , " Is ob
jected to , because the Jury did not ascertain
and declare in the verdict the value of the
property embezzled. JIuch attention Is paid
to the instructions issued to the jury , which
are claimed to be highly prejudicial , nnd
error Is charged because of the refusal of
inatructiona offered by the attorneys for the
defendant.

YOUK , Neb. , Oct. 21. ( Special. ) The an
nual meeting of the Nebraska Homo Mis
sionary society , which was hold yesterday
afternoon In connection with the Congrega
tional association , was oroductlvo of Interest
ind enthusiasm. A devotional service pre-
cedeJ the reports of the directors and of
ficers. The directors report that $19,535 Is
needed to carry on the work of the society
In the- slate , nnd Inasmuch as only $11.535
Is appropriated by the national society for
the work In Nebraska , the society finds
Itself hampered for lack of funds. It will
1)0 carried on with greater determination
than ever , however , this coming year , nnd
there Is confidence that much good will be
done.
Hov. It. T. Cross of York spoke on "How
to Do a Great Work on Little Money. " Ilo
said that the $11,009 sent -to Nebraska was
sacred money , and that It ought not to bo
perverted or wasted , but made to go ns far
as possible. The churches should bo willing ,
when necessary , to bo yoked together so that
ono pastor can serve two churches. If the
missionary appreciation Is reduced they
should not let the reduction cut into the
pastoi's small salary. The missionaries ,
Ihemsslvos , should work for results that will
[ ustlfy the expenditure of money. They and
Lho churches should nhn to reach the stage
where they are self-supporting as soon as
possible. Thus the beard , the churches nnd
riastors should labor together to make the
missionary money go c far as possible and
accomplish what the donors of the money de-

! usa the re-election , but the refusal was not
accepted.
In the evening home missionary addresses
were given by Mrs. II. S. Caswell and Uev.
3. II. Talntor , both national ofllccrs from
Now York. Mrs. Caswell spoke on the
"Home Land , " telling or the natuio of the
work , the needs of the society , the scope ot
the field nnd of 'the methods that are em
ployed In carrying on the great work. Her
address was very Interesting and loaded with
Information that aroused nn added enthusl-
nsm In the work. Hev. Mr. Talntor told of

cial point of view.
Kov. J. P. Burling led the dovollun.it serv
ice this morning. The subject was "lie Ke-
storeth My Soul. " "The Preaching that 1s
Needed for the Times" was the subject on
which Ilev. H. S. MacAyeal of Omaha
preached. Uev. Mr. MacAyeal thinks that
preaching Is the mnin work of the church.
What the people need today Is tbo plain , un
varnished gospel. The dogmatic truth and
that only Is , in 'tho ' spoaker'a opinion , the
kind of pulpit logic that should be given out
by the minister of today. The main thing
is to know how to Interpret the truth na
given In .the bible. He qujted Moody as
dwelling on the necessity of a plum state
ment of biblical lore and its constant reitera
tion. Sin is the same today as it has always
been and the only way to cure its blighting
effects Is to preach Christ and repuitranoc.
Sin , repentance and salvation should ba
drummed into everybody from every pulpit.
A Sunday school session w held this
afternoon. llov. J. G. Lange talked on re
forms in the Sunday school. The more prom
inent that ho cited are the need of separate

Brooks dwelt at some length. He favored

An examination of the record of James C.
Dahlman while In public cfllco shows many
Instances of how a friend of the "common
people" may sometimes thrlvo nt the great expense -
penso of the taxpayers. During the ycnrs
ISfll , 1S2 nnd 1S33 he enjoyed a much softer

und at that time the olllccrs were allowed
$3 per day nnd 10 cents per mile for taking
offenders to the penitentiary or reform
school. They also got pay for the railroad
fare for prisoners and for other necessary
expenses. The records show that Dalilman
drew from the stnto treasury during his
three years as sheriff $1,280.42 for transport
ing prisoners ) . The following Is the list of
the fees : May 13 , 1SU1 , $107.13 ; Juno 27 ,

distance from Dawes county to Lincoln and
return is 9lfi miles , taking flvo days for the
trip. To Kearney and return was 1,114
miles , and also flvo days to make the Jour
ney. A. trip to Kearney thus netted the
thrifty sheriff $111.40 for mileage , $1G for the
flvo days' work , besides the profits on the
feed for the prisoner and other Items. In
ono case , on May 18 , 1892 , he took an offender
to Lincoln and charged up fees for the Job
amounting to $242.18. lie then went to
Kearney with A boy tor the reform school
nnd on May 19 charged up further fees to
the amount ot $151.35. He figured this two
full trips from Dawos county and lu each
case charged up the live days' work , al
though according to both the record and the
calendar the days must have lapped over
each other. Thn fees above mentioned were
drawn in addition to the sJlary and fees Mr.
Dahlman drew from Dawes county for his
other labors.
