At this point a letter was received
from IMa.yor lloyd iimiouiiL'iii" that lie
had accepted tlie ruilgnntion of Inuriuu
Sullivan : iA a member of tin * police foicc ,
which iiad been tendered , ) an.I. . It was
agreed not to lot his resignation all'cct
tlie invus | ! < riiion ; , and the taking of testi
mony was then begun.
The lirst witness called was Policeman
James U'ltoyh ; on In-half of Sullivan.
Ho rein ted the facts about the arrest of
rr Tuuii , as already known. Attorney
Ogdun then asked iliu witness in regard
to the arrest and release of the prisoner
Lawrence , which occurred February 11.
Witness testified ho made the arre.st on-
complaint of the man who said ho iiad
been robbed by Lawrence. He was not
mv-jiint when Lawrence was released ,
but tlie next day he Saw lUarnhal Cum-
nilngs , who gave him $ .fi ( ) , saving that
the complaining witness Iiad refused to
Jili ! a complaint against Lawrence , and
that he had been discharged.
On cnc-s-cNamination , tlie witness tes
tified On the iilghtof the arrest of Lawrence
renceI I was acting jailor. A man named
fames Lund came into the jail anil .said
ho had been robbed. 1 went out with
him , and at Thiilccnth and Howard
Mrcct.se \ met Lawrence , and Lund said ,
"That is the man. " I placed him under
arre-t , and at the jail he was put down as
charged \\ith highway robbery. No war-
jautliud been Issued nor complaint made.
I never knew of any complaint being
ti& made against him. 1 was not present
when the prisoner \\as diichargeu. The
money was piiid me in front of the old
court hou > o , but f do not remember
Whether Lawrence or Lund was present
when it was paid. All I know about the
Travis case was that I assisted to make
tlio arrest. L did not know anything
about his release. I understood that the
ruiihon why Lawrence was released was
because lie paid back the money to Lund ,
and I was given "theJ'S'i. ' fit ) as "a volun
tary reward by Lund lor the recovery of
Ids money 1 did not consider it a bribe.
IMar.shal Ciimminga did not tell me to say
nothing about ill The subject has not
been mentioned by him since lie paid mo
the money. J told other olllecr.s about it.
1 do not know that he was released with
out being brought before the police
judge. I never hoard that lie was
brought before ( lie police judge , and
supposed ho was released on tlie side
walk while being transferred from the
jail to court.
Kx-policeman DiiinJrccn was the next
witness called. He also testified as to
the arrest of Trais : I made the arrest
in lliggins' saloon , on information from
a man troni the Jilnfls. As
we wore going out the door he com
menced to stab himself. Ollicer O'lJoylo
came up just then and we took Travis to
jail. The charge put on the books was
" from . " 1 had
"fugitive justice. never a
talk with Travis about his crime. Chief
of I'olice Skinner , of Council 1)1 ) nil's , was
in town at tlio time , lint I understood he
WIIH after another man.
Tlio nc.Nt witness called was Col.
] ) ickcy , .superintendent of the Western
Union telegraph ollice , who testilied : 1
was served with a subpu'iiao this morn
ing , to produce the telegrams of Dec ,
1881 , but can not do it , as the records
for that time have all been dcMroyed.
& C. F. Spelimin , of Council HlulVs , was
called and testified : I am a dealer in mer-
chamlNc. 1 met Travis December ,
1881. lie had been arrested for forging
a check on me. 'The original check
was for .i''i ! K , but it had been
raised to iJWl. lie came into the
Btoro that day and bought a box of cigars ,
paying for them. He asked for a cheek
so that he could send the mtmoy in a let
ter , and wo accommodated him. lie tried
to have the cheek cached , but the b.ink
refused payment and Travis left town.
Skinner came over to Omaha to look for
Travis , in company with my brother. He
was arrested as already stated. I came
over the ne\t morning and filed acorn-
plaint against him in police court , it was
agreed to wait for him to rcco\er from
Ins injuries before the trial should take
place , I talked witli .Marshal Cuminings
the same day , and ho said
that Travis would go across the
river without a requisition as
boon as ho was able. The ne\t day I saw
the marshal again , and lie said the ease
ought to be fixed up as Travis had u
wealthy brother in the went who would
never allow him to go to the penitentiary ,
1 told him I wiuilLMl the matter fixed up
ontheotherside of the river and asked the
mai'nhal If he would hold Travis. He said
that ho would , "until hell Irce/.e.s over , "
J had a requisition for Travis , and the
marshal agreed to let me know before he
moved in tlie matter. It was about four
days between tlio arrest and release.
On the day of the release 1 was
informed by the marshal of Council
DluIVs that he hud received a telephone
incs.-ago for us to come over for our pris
oner. J heard of it about 11 o'clock in
( he morning and came to Omaha with an
ollleer on tlio 1:150 : diimmv. At the jail
wo were informed that Travis had been
roluaMiil , I was pretty madand when I saw
Marshal Ciimmingn I told him I thought
I * It wa h a "great note" to release Travis ,
The marshal replied that ho could not
hold the prisoner any longer , as tlie time
was up and he was obliged to let him
go. [ The indictment against Travis was
then introduced in evidence , ] The mar
shal did not give me much information
about tlie. release of the prisoner , hut
blamed the Council ItlulVs olllcials for
not getting here sooner.
Cross examined : 1 have a feeling
ngainst the marshal on account of tlio re
lease of Travis. I was very much put
out about it , and 1 hold .the marshal re
sponsible for it. Thnt feeling has not
caused me to color nij testimony.
11 , tiucuelhi was called and testilied :
Am city marshal of Council JlluIVs and
was at'the time of tlio anc t of Travis.
I l was in the jail at the time the telephone
mpitoiigo eamo saying that I muit come
'ufter ' Travis or ho would bo ivlca-ed.
J replied that 1 would send for him as
( 'soon ' as possible , Tlio message came
.bi'tween 11 and 1'J o'clock. 1 went out
io ece the olltcer who had the mailer In
charge mid met Mr. Spetman about two
' bloi'Hb from the jail. He said ho would
to over after Travis.
i Mr I'arnsworth was called and testi
ied Am cashier of the I'li-at National
Ibank at Council HlulVs. The check in
/question was presented to mo for pay-
'incut , and 1 retired to nay It , Did not
know anything about Travis until after
'jijb ' aiTCat , Tfieulwai uiiuroauheil by u
party from Omnhn , ulio told me that he
was well connected , and the afl'air oughl
to be fixed up. His name I do not know
I told him I could not fix tlio matter up
in any way He aid 1 would make
more monej out of it than I would lose.
I came to Omah.i very eon alter the re
lease. I had a talk with AhiHial Cummings -
mings about tlic affair , mid asked why ho
was Milletcd to be rflc.ised. lie told inn
that the Council IJhHl's authorities hml
neglected to do their duty , and he could
not hold the prisoner any longer Ills
nn Wi'r < to my questions were short and
unsatisfactory.
Kd. ( ionium was then called and te ti-
fiedI I was city jailer when Travis was
arrested. He was charged on tlio books
with being a fugitive from justice , llu
was wounded in tlio abdomen in three or
four places. The cuts were not very
deep. Dr. Carter attended him and
dressed the wounds. ( Jon. O'Hricn came
to the jail to see the prisoner. Ho ap
peared to be hisiittorney , coming to sec
him two or three times. ( Jen. O'Hrien
spoke to me about taking tlie prisoner
to St Jo = ei h's hospital on the day of his
release , ( 'en. O'llncn and the marshal
talked to Travis on the dny of his release.
I telephoned to Council lllulVs to the au
thorities to come for Travis by order of
tlie marshal. He told me not to hurry ,
but to telephone after 11 o'clock. Shortly
after II o'clock I called tliem up and told
them to come over for Travis right away
as wo could not hold him any
longer. About 1 ! .0 in the afternoon the
tnar-hal and Hon. O'llriim entered
tl.e jail and went to Travis' coll.
The marshal said"Hurry up ami get out
of here. " Travis s.'arted to pull on his
boots , and the m.nslial aid : "Don't wait
jiut your boots on in the carriage. 1
'
I'ravls jumped up and made a rusfi'for
the carriage which stood in the alley in
the rear of the old jail. There was some
one in it , and as soon as Travis got in it
drove away in a hurry. The marshal
came back and said he presumed the
Council niufl's people would be "hot , "
but he couldn't help it. I had a talk \yilli
Alose.s O'Hrion about the charge against
Travis on the morning of the day of the
release.
lleing questioned in regard to the Law
rence case , the witness testified. Tlie
inoriiingafter Lawrence's arrest , I started
with the prisoners for police court , when
the marshal asked me tor Lawrence's ' en
velope. He tore it open and _ gave some
money to Lawrence and told him lie could
go about his business. OflicerO'lioyle told
me that the marshal gave him $5 , but ho
didn't ' know what it was for. The mar
shal stayed in tlie jail and I went on to
police court with tlie prisoners. I have
no ill feeling against the marshal. 1 did
have , but it has been obliterated and do s
not ailed my testimony.
Cro s-examiucd : Jt was noteustomary
for prisoners to bo released without an
order from the police judge , i never
saw an order for Travis' release. Gen ,
O'Hrien told me he was going to take tlie
prisoner to the hospital.
Jerome IVntxel , clerk of the police
court , testified : Have charge of the
police court records ; have tlie allidavit
made by Spetman against Travis Decem
ber 5j 1881 , charging him \yitli forgery ;
there is no other record of his ease in tlie
police court docket ; ho was never ar
raigned in police court , and Judge
ISeneke has never said anything to me
about it.
William IMellugh testified : I was ac
quainted with some elo o relative of Travis
living in Denver m 18S1. Ho had plenty of
money. Knew tlic man Travis who was
arrcitod. Never received any communi
cation concerning theea e about the time
Travis was arrested. 1 don't recollect
whether I had any talk with Mr. John A.
Crcighton about the arrest of Travis. 1
saw about tlio employment of counsel for
the defense of tlie accused. . 3n fact I em
ployed an attorney for Mr. Travis and
paid over the money to the attorney.
Mr. Ogden , the attorney for Sullivan ,
then asked Mr. Mcliugh how much
mouey had been paid to the
altoiney. This question was ob
jected to by Mr. Hurnliam on
the irround that the relations of lawyer
ami client ought to bo held sacred and
inviolate. Tlie private business of the
lawyer ought not to be laid bare. The
question , moreover , he said , had no par
ticular bearing on the point in issue.
Mr. Ogden made a speech in defense
of his question , and the dispute was set
tled by an agreement on the part of the
committee that the question was a proper
one.
Examination resumed : I do not know
how much mouey lien. O'Drlen received.
Jt was no largo amount , probably about
ifJOO or $2.10. This was money I ad
vanced to Mr. Travis. 1 did so at tlio re
quest of Mr. Travis himself. Saw no
telegrams from the Travis in tlie west re
garding Ids brother until about tnreo or
tour weeks after the release. Don't re
member the siibitanee of the telegram.
I was in the carriage which took Travis
away from the jail. If did not go to the
hospital or to the train. Jt went out into
the country somewhere.
This concluded Mr. Mcllngh's testi
mony and the committee adjourned to
incut again at 10 o'clock this morning.

The weather yesterday was a decided
improvement upon that of Monday. The
mercury had risen considerably , the
ulinding shower of grail had ceased ,
md the streets were nearly passable.
J'hc sidewalks were tolerably clear ,
.hough in certain localities they had not
jeeii freed troni their snowy covering.
Hy dint of hard work the street car
company managed to get the drifts oil'
thu tracks , niul tlie cars were started on
ill the lines yesterday , none of them
ran on schedule time. About seventy-
live men loiind employment Monday
clearing away tlie snow , and about half
: liat number worked yo-torday shovel
ing on the tracks. In fact the snow has
[ iroved a bouau/.a to thoio out of employ-
.mint , and has atra.ii proven the truth of
iho old adage that "it is an ill wind that
blows no-one good , "
Tlie raising of the "blockade" had a
wonderful oiled on business. The streets
were thronged with all manner of
vehicles , and all Omaha seemed to have
turnsd out to welcome the return of
.igreeablo weather. Merchants who
complained of exce.s-.ivo dullness of
; rade yesterday , were to-day brightened
up by a rush of nistomcrjj.
Yesterday signal advices from tlio west
and noithwest are to the elleel that the
; hermomcter is falling , and another cold
snai > be expected here shortly.

IjKAVITT'S ACCOUNTS.
The County In Ddtt to Him How the
Shortage Occurred ,
J. J. P , inK wlio as export accountant
has long boon at work upon the books of
II , T. Levitt , lute county clerk , complet
ed his task yesterday and turned over Ids
accounts to the commissioners.
When irregularities were first susp eel
cd i.n Lcavilt's methods and Mr. J'oiuts
was put upon the work of investigating
iho books , the situation placed the conn-
y clerk some three thousand dollars be-
dud. On his retirement ho succeeded ,
with tlie aid of li IK bondsmen in refund-
'ng ? 2'IOO. Tliis left him with an exact
disorepan cy of $ i31.21 for which lliecoun-
ljr held him to account. During
tlie weeks that intervened between his
visit in the east and tlic beginning of tlie
commissioners' investigation a week ago ,
Mr. Leavitt prepared vouchers fora large
quantity of claim * ' against the county lor
extra work. Of these claims the commis
sioners allowed $71)1.50 ) and to-day Mr.
Points in completing tlie balance found
naturally that the county standi in debt to
Mr. Leavitt to the amount of .flO.S ! ) .
It is perhaps onjy just to both the pub
lic and Mr. Leavitt to show how his uO-
llnmioncy arose. Tlio greatest portion of
Ins ftliortage is revealed in the fee book ,
which document , with Mr Points' ad
justments , is an interesting record. One
of tlio county clerk's chief duties , and
the source ot nearly all tlie funds which
iiass Mitp lii hands , is the receipt of fees.
Jn keeping account of these payments ,
lie has usually a memoranda or rough
tal ) upon w hicli during the day he marks
liis receipts , transferring them Ju tlic
evening to a ledger for preservation. It
was a simple tiling for Mr. Leavilt in
securing uiigrauted loans from tlie
countv to record each item less than the
actual receipt , accurately pocketing the
difference. Tlie tabs upon which lie
made correct entries , and which lie could
liave .as well destroyed , he retained
with the intention of returning the sums
lie had appropriated. Investigation , how
ever , was prematurely sprung upon him
.md failimr , by discovery , in an attempt
to right tlie garbled records and restore
the lunds , he made a full breast of tlio
matter and turned over his tabs. Had ho
leilroyed these tell-tale papers he could
iiave made : v successful tlielt of his pur-
ioinings and defied investigation. It is
Iho belief of the county commissioners
[ hat Mr. Luavitl novel1 intended to keep
the funds he temporarily appropriated ,
: ind as cveiy cent was returned and tlie
balance finds him ahead , they exonerate
liim from all felonious intentions.
HIS NEW FOUND FHIENI ) .
Another Verdant Joins the Snil Pro-
cesHion of thu Duped.
Christopher Timme , a verdant from
Atlantic , Iowa , on his way to Cherry
county , was met by a confidence man on
Eleventh street yesterday. Ueforo he
got through with his friend ho was sad
der and wiser and poorer by the sum of
i 'jO.
'jO.It
It appears that Timme came over from
tlie Hinds in tlie morning witli the inten
tion of remaining a day or two in Omaha
before resuming his journey west
ward. One of the lirst men
lie met was a rather well-
dressed , smooth looking and suave indi
vidual who gave the name of Charley
Weslon , and claimed to be going west
ward. The two soon became fast friends ,
and before long Weston proposed that
Ihoy go and got breakfast somewhere.
J'iinme consented and the two went into
an Eleventh street restaurant. Weston
agreed to pay for the meals. When ho
went up to the cashier's desk he pulled
out a largo roll of bills and selecting a
small si/.ed one paid the sum of seventy
cents , Thu granger's eves bulged out
when he saw U'eston 's roll , and he asked
innocently , "How much money have you
got there * "
'Four hundred dollars , " was the reply.
"I have got to buy a team of horses to
day , aii < r-o I liuyo plenty of money on
'
lia'nd , Hy the way , I've got a cheek hero
for fnn that I'll like to get cashed , and 1
don't care lo go to the bank , which is
way down on Sixteenth street , before 1
) iiy the horses. If you'll cash the check
for me-will go around and buy the hoivcs
and then see the town. " Timmo readily
consented and produced the necessary
amount in exchange for the check.
The rest ot the sad lale in soon told
The Iowa man was left standing on the
corner of Tenth and Farnam street l > y
ds new found friend , who just wanted to
"go around the corner to get a his grip
sack. " Weston , of course , never returned.
And Timme will have to telegraph home
for funds wherewith to continue his jour

We copy from the Chicago InterOrrnn
of 1st hist , iho following deserving notice
of a well-known grain and provision
house :
Although this city IE a inlRhly mart ,
yet. i t did not become such of itself. It
was made what it is by the strong sense ,
the earnest vim , and push of our mer
chants. The magnitude of tlic grain in
terests has naturally .attracted men of
strong character and large capacity. To
them the oppoituuiry is inviting ; but the
rivalry is so strong that oulyt ho mo t
clear-headed and vigorous can keep
Hie load or even hold a place
lollg. Hut Chandler , Hrovvn Co.
have done all this , and more , too. Start
! ng-in ISiXUhuj have rapidly pushed their
business arms into every region of tlie
northwest , until Iho magnitude of their
operations includes a large number of
tlio most extensive operators , cast and
west. To create and maintain auditor
prise of this magnitude requires more
than ordinary executive sagacity and
ability. The firm are located both in
Chicago and Milwaukee , and in each cil. >
command a wide circle of business con
nections. Tlie Chicago branch is directly
under the management of Mr. J A.
Hrowu , who has boon an active grain
dealer from his boyhood , and has
grasped the fullest knowledge of the details -
tails of the trade. 1'ivo representatives
are constantly engaged on the lloor ol tlie
Hoard of trailo conducting tlie large busi
ness of the linn , and all who have trans
actions witli them speedily ill-cover that
Chapdlcr , Hrovvn Company are strong
enough and discreet enough lo be 1m-
pi icily trusted. The means at the dis
posal of the firm are amplev and an hon
orable promptitude marks every trans
action. Chandler. Drown Company are
certainly among the commanding houses
of Hie west.
