She is now teaching the prim ary 'department of the Wood Lake school , where she is giving universal atisf action. W.

WORLD-HERALD EXPOSURE IS TOO I MUCH FOR HIM. . I ' ' ! * " , Couldn't Stnml Out Against Demand to Get Off the Ticket Will Stucffcr lio ' Forced to Report Nebraska Voters Should Know Where Money 1 Kept. The jj. o. p. is a thingof the past in bica. it is the s. o. p. now. In stead of being- "grand old "party , " it is a pretty badly "scared old part } ' . " . A lew days ago the World-Herald made certain eaarfecs against II. L. Goold of Ogalalla , at present , one of the regents of the state university and candidate for re-election on the republican ticket , On tne same clay the Uinaha Bee de- uianued that the , republican state com mittee be immediately called together to investigate the charges , and if the same were found to be true , that Mr. Goolcl should resign. The State Jour- nal and its evening edition , the News , promptly pronounced the. whohi thing a canard. Last Sunday Mr. Goold was all day in couiereuce wi.th the republi can state committee and linally ten dered hit , resignation as a carididate , which was then filed with the secre tary of state. The vital portions of the World-Uer- aid article are as follows : ( \\orld-llerald , Oct. 11 , 1001. ) II. L. Goold of Ogalaila. at present a regent of the state university and the republican nominee for another six- year term in the same ofiice , is one of the nominees of a convention that adopted the following plank in its platform in support of which Mi' . Goold solidly yoteu the Keith county delegation : ' Tne republicans of Nebraska dis claim for tue party any sympathy with custodians of public moneys found guilty of the betrayal of sacred trusts. Without impugning- motives of the governor in any eabj , we deprecate any exercise of executive clemency tending to create the .a.se impression that the republican party is disposed to condone the wilful embezzlement of public funds under , any circumstances , and we reque&t the immediate recall of the parole of Joseph fc > . Hartley. " 'ihe fact taut Mr. Goold then had and still has in his own name over $1- 000 of the money charged.against Hart ley did not pre.'ent hfs joining in the "holier-than-you" declaration and in sisting on the return of Hartley to , the penitentiary , nor did it prevent the re publican convention nominating Mr. Gooicl to run for om'ee on its hypocriti cal platform , inveighing against those "found guilty of the betrayal of sacred trusts , " and declaring with a flourish of trumpets against "the false impres sion that the republican party is dis posed to condone the willful embezzle ment of public funds under any circum stances. " The following letter is self-explana tory : "Ogalalla , Neb. , Oct. 2,1901. To the Editor of the World-Herald : Jt may be of interest to the people of Nebras ka that some of the missing funds of this state are in the hands of II. L. Goold , nominee on the republican tick et for regent of the state university. "Gould has admitted this to be a fact to a couple of his closest advisers here , who are trying to help him raise money to make a payment and prevent an exposure. It is very probable that.j ihj republican state convention's ae- | tion had something to dovitii it , for j j Goold voted the Keith county clelega- ! tion as a unit to adopt the plank in the piuttorin demanding that Hartley be , sent back to tne pen. ; "Hartley let Gookl have this state money many years ago , , and he has never paid any of it back. Ifr seems surprising that under the circumstances he voted that way , but he told his friends that he did not dare to oppose the resolutions. He said there were , others in the convention 'in the same shape as lie was. , * "If that is the Vay the republican party arrives at its convictions as to principle , it will be well-for the people to know it. I approved the action of the convention at the time , but I don't think as much of it now as 1 did. "Yours for fair play , " Hartley Says It la True. [ I For the purpose of investigating tlie truth of the statements contained in this communication , a World-Herald representative went to Lincoln on < Wednesday to see Hartley at the peni tentiary and inquire as to the facts. ' * * ' The jformer state treasurer was' found at work in the penitentiary gi'cenhouse. He was told that the , World-Hei'ald had received information from Ogalalla that II. L. Goold had some of the money which Hartley xvas convicted of embezzling , and for which he was now serving sentence ; that Goold had joined in the demand that * Hartley be returned to the penitenti ary , and had been put forward as his party's nominee for another term as re gent. "What is the truth about it ? " he was asked. Hartley made no response , but began pacing up and clown the narrow aisle between the banks of foliage. His face was an exposition of contending emotions. "Did you. or did you not , let II. L. Goold have state money to which he * ! was not entitled when you were state treasurer ? " j j Hartley stopped short , and said quiet- i ly but firmly : I ' Well , 1 don't know as there is any reason why I should lie toprotect a man who voted his delegation inthe convention to send me back to the pen itentiary , when I have already served a six-year sentence. I must admit the > truth or lie about t. ' Yes , I did let him have the money. ' ' , "How maeh did you let him have ? " "I do not care to state. " , "Was it as much as Sl,000 ? " , \ ! "Yes , it was. " , tioold Took Stata Money. ' ' ; It'was state money ? " , f "Yes. It was paid with a , check signed 'J. S. Hartley. ' n "Did he pay it .iek ? ' "No ; he still has.it , and I hold his pap'jivfor the full amount. " ' "Didhic solicit you to let him have , this money without being entitled to a penny ol it , and knowing that it in volved a violation of the law "for you to let him have ? " "Certainly. " "When did he get this money ? " , "August IS , 181KJ. " ! "That was before Goold was elected ( regent of the university ? " ' j j "Yes , two years before. " j I "And during the years thereafter during which you werj both in state otlice he did not pay back a dollar of itV' | i ' . 'Not a penny. " ! i "That sum was in eluded in the short age charged up against you ? ' ' "Yes. " . "And that is the Goolcl nominated at the recent convention , 'and the one who voted the Keith county delega tion in support of a demand that you be returned here to serve out a sentence I for embezzling that money ? ' ' j I "Yes , " replied Hartley grimly , as he , turned to work again among the plants j i and flowers. j ' On the Same Day the Oiualia Ucc , SiiK The grave eh rages that have just J | been brought against one of thy iiotai- : ! nees of that convention for university J ! regent make it incumbent on the state ' "committee to take immediate action for the iiifonrement of the p'arty's declar ation. The charge is thatMr. . Goold is an abettor of Joseph S. Hartley's em bezzlement. The duty of the party is plain. Chairman Lindsay . should at once call the state committee together f and summon Mr. Goolcl to refute the charge or tender liis resignation as a nominee. The committee has full au thority to till vacancies that may oc cur on the ticket and it is not too late to. exercise it. The duty of the state committeedoes not stop there. The republican state convention without dissent declaroil unequivocally for periodic statements by ail custodians of public funds 'in forming the people" the amounts and whereabouts of the public moneys in their keeping. Unless Treasurer Stuefer promptly complies with the demand of the con vention without evasion it will become the duty of the state committee to call on Governor .Savage to enforce it Ihiough the authority vested in him by sect'on 2 of article v of the state constitution. After an all ( Uijr conference with the republican committee Sunday. Mr. Goold left for home early Monday morn ing , and the only statement regarding his action in withdrawing from the ticket that can be obtained is contained in a letter addressed to Chairman Lindsay , which was given to the press that morning. The call issued by Mr. Lindsay specifies that the meeting is for the purpose of filling the vacancy and for transacting such other busi ness as may come before the commit tee. Following is Mr. Goold's letter ex planation : LINCOIAOct. . 14. To Hon. II. C. Lindsay , Chairman Republican State Central Committee : Dear Sir Certain statements alleged to have been made Mby ex-Stale Treasurer Hartley to the effect that while state treasurer lie loaned me 81,000 which * has ne-vcr been paid have recently been published in the World-Herald. On the 2Sth day ol August r 'was honored by the republi can state convention with a renomina- tion for regent of the state university. Desiring to relieve the committee and my colleagues on the ticket and the voters of the state from any embarrass ment that may arise from the above- mentioned statements , I have filed withdrawal from the state ticket with the secretary of state. Statcmsiit of Facia. In addition to this I wish to make a .statement of the actual facts in the case. Some time prior to August , 1S90 , J. S. Hartley sent 61,000 by mail to the State Loan and Trust company , a bank doing business at Ogalalla , and re- .ccived a demand certigcate payable to himself. The bank failed in August , 1S % ' , and was duly placed in the hands of a receiver. Mr. Hartley had ncvci * .at an3 * time prior to the failure of the bank presentedhis certificate for pa3- or demanded payment in any At the. time of the failure I v/as pres- dent of as well as a stockholder in said 3 bank. Aly interest in the bank did not at any time exceed two-fifths of the capital stock. I never had a controll ing interest in the bank. I had noth ing to do with Air. Hartley personally. His transactions were with the bank exclusively. When the bank failed all the resi dent depositors without exception united in a petition to the district court for the appointment of mj'self as receiver. I was so appointed and gave ' bond for S'J5,00'J. Soon after my ap pointment I sent blanks to Air. Hart- ley for proof of his claim against the. bank. This proof Air. Hartley made in his individual name before a notary in Lincoln and on receipt of the piool I sent to Air. Hartlej' the usual receiv er's certificate. . - * - - w j H. L.
