LINCOLN , March 19. ( Special. ) The or
der of the supreme court granting a rcar-
gumcnt In the Hartley case , while It was
unexpected , has provoked no discussion here.
Slnco It Is known that Judge Sullivan fa
vored the rcargument In order to satisfy
ilmsulf regarding certain points of law , the
popocrats have nothing to say except to ad
mit that thcro must bo good reasons for
: ho reopening of the caae. The local popu-
Ist papers have made no comment on the
matter. A number of leading republicans
were Interviewed today as to their opinion *
) f the order of the court. There was very
Ittlo difference In the expressions obtained ,
the following- being a few of those received :
Judge M. B. Reese "I do not know what
reasons were given for the granting of a new
irgumcnt and have nothing upon which to
jase an opinion. There Is nothing rcma.rka-
) lo In the ordering of a reargumcnt In a case
where a number of law points arc Involved ,
some of which may have been overlooked In
* , ho previous argument. I have not consid
ered the question as to whether the matter
will have any effect politically. "
Ed R. Slzer "I have heard no comment on
the action of the court and suppose that It
Icslrca to take up some point In law and hear
t more fully discussed. I do not understand
how this could have any political bearing. "
C. A. Robins "The court probably had
good erounds In allowing a reargumcnt. It
does not necessarily Imply that the former
decision will be reversed and I do not con
sider It extraordinary that the court should
desire to hear a now argument on any or all
"A the points Involved. I have heard very
little about the matter. "
LIKELY TO BE MISCONSTRUED.
DAVID CITY , Neb. . March 19. ( Special. )
liolow arc some opinions on the Bartley re
hearing :
J. O. Ross "
"Tho order for a rehearing will
injure the republican party , as It will be
generally understood that It Is to lead to an
acquittal on legal technicalities. Some time
must elapse before the termination of the
case , an acquittal will be presumed and
commented upon as If such was a fact. "
C. H. Aldrlch "If the matter ot granting
rehearlngs Ig thoroughly understood It will
have no effect whatever on the coming cam
paign. Should the original findings be sus
tained , the effect will be to the advantage
of the republican party. "
S. H. Stecle "Tho rehearing having been
? ? ei ! for by Jurtgo Sul"van , who was not on
the bench at the time the case was before
tno court , the granting of the order was not
unusual and should not create any excite
ment In political circles. It Is one of the
usual routines of law cases. "
E' a'rri.Iall " 1 see DothlnB political In this
move. The practice of the court and courtesy
to Judge Sullivan both were In favor of
granting the request. The fact of the order
being granted docs * - . Indicate anything ,
as It Is usual to grant a rehearing at the re
quest of a single member of the supreme
c ° urtI < lo not think the rehearing will
change the result. Should It result In an
acquittal , It would be a blow to the repub
lican party. "
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb. , March 19.-Spe- (
c a . ) Judge B. S. Ramsey of the Second
district said : "I am simply surprised at the
decision of the court in ordering a new trial
I have examined thoroughly 'nto the evidence
of the case and cannot find even a possible
flaw en which the order could be Issued. "
DESERVES ALL HE GOT.
SCHUYLER , Neb. . March 19. ( Special. )
In the matter of the rehearing of the Bart-
ley case , the consensus of opinion among
republicans of Schuyler se te toba de
cidedly strong that the sentence should re
main as It la and that If Bartley appro
priated the state's funds or was led Into
permitting their misuse and final Ices by
other parties , he ought to suffer therefor.
A few of the republicans can be quoted
about as follows ;
W. S. Jenkins "
, ex-mayor : "I have not
read the opinion , but think Bartley ought
to have to put up.for the shortage or suffer. "
D. McLeod , representative : "I think It
Bartley is guilty he ought to be punished
to the full extent of the law. "
M. D. Cameron. "I am oposed to It. Bart
ley deserves punishment fcr his crime , and
Eugene Moore ought not to have escaped as
easily as he did. "
COLUMBUS , Neh. , March 19. ( Special )
Carl Kramp"It may be very good law ,
but I thlnlUM * 3ry poor policy. "
C. E. Pollock " '
: "Don't think Bartley Is de
serving of a rehearing. "
C. C. Gray : "I think It Is very bad to
grant a rehearing. He has been convicted
after a fair t'lal , "
I. Slbberuseo : "I believe that the Jury
found a Just verdict. No rehearing should
be granted. "
J. H. Galley : "I think the order is a good
one. I think the rehearing should be
granted. "
Henry Ragatz : "I think both the verdict
and sentence were Just. Do not understand
on what point the rehearing could be
granted. Dcn't think Bartley or anyone
else should escape punishment on a techni
cality. "
George A. Scott : "I think the question of
his guilt has been clearly defined. I don't
favor a rehearing. "
FREMONT , Neb. . 'March ' 19. ( Special. )
The republicans of this city express
much surprise at the rehearing of the
Bartley case. Many of them do not
care to say anything for publication.
Some who are willing talk as follows :
R. J. Stlnson , Lawyer : "It Is certainly no
beneiflt to the republican party. I have not
examined the question to see whether there
lo any merit In U. If there Is any question
In the case which was not passed upon by
the supreme court U would be Its duty to
grant a rehearing. "
C. H. May , Wholesale Grocer : "I don't
believe In the principle of commenting un
favorably on the opinions of our higher
courts. Their decisions are based upon what
they believe to be a correct application of
the rules of law and should bo respected , "
J. W. Hyatt. City Clerk ? "I don't like It.
I think Bartley should 'have It' to the full
extent of the law. "
J. M. Shlveley , Clerk District Court : "I
was very much surprised. I followed the
evidence as It appeared tn The Bee and
thought the state made a case beyond the
possibility of a doubt. It will hurt the
party. "
E. W. Hooker , Farmer , Maple Township.
"I am very much surprised. Our courts are
making porno wonderful decisions lately.
The people are likely to lese confidence In
them. "
1 W. H. Haven , Chairman City Committee :
"I think U a very unwise thing. I cannot
understand , after reading tbo evidence and
the opinion of the court , why it was done. "
George Marshall : "I don't think It ot much
Importance. It is the custom or rule of the
court to grant a rehearing If one- Judge at3
for It. I understand Judge Sullivan wanted
a rcargument , and tn accordance with this
rule It was granted. "
