7- I'ljaurt BtMvAM M nvt Um THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. February 3, 1898. 8. in Eesultf of the Investigation at the Nebraska City Inittltuta. FLAGRANT FEAUDS FOUND. Details of Bom of the Worst Has calitjr Yet Discovered in State Institutions. Kael From tb Ksport. It is still the style I" certain rcpubli can and democratic circles to make llulit of the legislative investigating committee. In soma respect It nifty seem that the finding of tlie committee arc too severe, an for eiainpl In loldin officials of state Institution personally liable for money spent without author it of law from tb cash fund of their Institution. It must b remembered, however, that the committee Is required to take notice of thing an they find them, that the expenditure of money unlawfully, even though honestly ex pendod tor the good of tb various in stitutions, Is an abuse that ought to be remedied and the quickest way to rem edy it I to point it out emphatically. There Is no occasion for argument with those who are harping on the one fiddle string of tlio ten thousand dollar appropriated for the work of the com roittee, An argument will not reach their case. But no urnouot of harping and do quantity of ridicule will obscure the rank evidence of fraud found by this committee In some of the slats af' fairs. The facte will mak for them- solve and ft Is part of the mission of the Itiim'fLHDKtn to publish th fact and let the intelligent people of Nebraska draw their own conclusion. As th latest sample of fact Circnrthfd by thin committee,, wa take the evidence of fraud found at the Institute for the blind at Nebraska City, wbicli have been carefully examined la the propora. tion of this article. The examination at Nebraska City was made by 4. N. Wise, au expert ac couotaut of i'latteinouth, and Senator Mutz. The accountant finds in the first place that the absence of ledgers, jour nals and cash book for a groat part of the period investigated and the cutting out of 180 pages from one of the day book remaining have made the work difficult, I'p to the termination of the term of I'rof. J, It, Cannula, on superin tendent, which occurred Feb. 15, 1802, it appear that the administration af fairs bad been homstly administered, although some of the exrsmditures were not authorised by law. From that date up to the coming in of the up pointee of the present aI 111 111 lt ra tify there are the most aetouuding reve lation of rascality, which may be grouped under .hea heads: 1 Fraudulent drug bill for the em. nloye of the institution and citizen of Nebraska City, charged and paid for by the state. 2 Fraudulent charge for clothing purchased for students, but paid for by the students themselves. .1 Implicate bill of the name cloth ing charged and puid for by the state twice. 4 Fraudulent charge for pemotm on the pay roll who wore never paid the money alleged to have I-md duo thorn for services. One ol the first things that Ht ruck the investigator was tie extraordinary spell of sickness that Mel the institu tion uuder the supcrinlendency of I'rof. Itakestraw mid I'rof. Kbright compared with conditions now. Tim old vouchers contained charge for hundreds of pre scription furnished the Institution, Sometime there would be ten or llfteeu prescriptions in a single day. Those charges would be in the following form Htateol Nebraska Ir., Jan. 1, 1 Nli.'i to prescription .o. ni 7"e, The committes started nut to find who got alt this medicine, (letting the old prescription file in the drug store down town, they found that scores of these prescription wer lor the officer and teacher of the blind, w ho Mere ol course pail salaries nixl e ... to (heir own Mils, nut worse than that, they found that hundred ol Hut prent rliition Were lor prominent and wealthy eitiiens ol t tHHiila I ily, (nine of theiu know 11 over the stale.

He then took the receipt and the ft &0.UU unck before he unlocked the door. All of which is covered in ulliduvit. Further than this Karnuel O'Connor and Horatio T.
