LINTOLV , Nob. , Juno 27. [ Special to
Q'nr. BF.K.I The Investigation into the
conduct of Steward Liveringhouse and Su
perintendent Test of the Hastings Insane
nsylum was resumed this morning before the
board of publlo lands nnd buildings. All the
members of the board were present. Gov
ernor Thayer was n most interested auditor
throughout the session ,
Llvorlnghouso was pin cod on the stnnd nnd
Was examined regarding the signing by om-
ployos of a payroll which wns Introduced.
The names on It wore these which have ap
peared In connection with duplicate vouch ,
jors. The witness said that none of tbo em
ployes in question had signed tha roll pre
sented nnd that some of their names hnd
been written by himself. Ho could not state
exactly when the pay had been drawn , but
tbouufitlt was nbout the mlddlo of April
Xlo bad nnyor notified the board about the
drawing of the duplicate vouchers until ho
kdmttti'd it a short time ngo. Regarding the
rum of $42."i which appeared In the cash ac
count , ho had no voucnors te present , having
boon called away too soon from the nsylum.
It was shown , however , thnt ho hnd bean
Jiotlilcil ntn o'clock on Wednesday end didn't
icavo Hastings till 2:80 : o'clock next day.
Llvoringhouso admitted ho had hired
pis raoiuor-ln-law' * horse to haul the
pall , and hnd n.iiu divers sums
amounting to nbout $100 for the same ;
that ho hi rod a horse from n man
fiamed 1'lorco , nnd for n month kept
Bt the asylum a horse belonging
to Driitjglst Hurst , The state at tbo time
bad n horse of IU own.
The board then nskod explanation of two
Vouchers for $70 nnd was told that they
Worn by way of payment as chaplain.
The witness then admitted that the war-
tnnt for the duplicate vouchers , ? , " > 9 .02 , had
boon put Into his personal account at tbo
bnnk In Hastings.
Tbo Investigation then turned In the direc
tion ot the overdose of medicine to the
patlont Xioglcr. Witness had heard it
rumored that a patient named Zlcglor
bad died of an overdose of medicine.
tThero wus no record of the Investi
gation. Governor Thayer , Dr. Stone
end Mrs. Smith had , ho claimed , investi
gated the charge and concluded that Ziegler
had died from natural causes. The attend
ant , Loofburrow , who administered the dose ,
was still nt the asylum.
Witness didn't remember that n womnn
tianiod lirlghnm bad been found ono morning
flond In bed. although he hnd buried her.
The Inquiry showed thnt Zclglor hnd been
clven thirty drops of pnrnldabldo and Dr.
Ktonc said that that was only half a dose
B'ho latter had administered a teaspoonful
dud a half.
Docs the night watch proscribe for the pa-
tlontsi
No. I know nothing except from hearsay.
pr. Stouo said thnt thirty drops of paralda-
bldo would produce from four te seven hours'
loop.
The witness then stated that ho know
George Smith of Beatrice , who was at onetime
time an attendant at the asylum as also that
tioofhurrow , the man who administered tlio
ovcrdoio to , Zogler ! , was still employed nt
the nsylum.
Secretary Alton How are wo to know
hovv many employes there are at the asylum
if tbo employes don't.sign the pay roll.
They do sign the pay roll ; they sign nil the
foils except the ono you have thoro.
Mr. Durnoll then 'asked the witness to de
tail the duties ho performed at the nsylum.
\Vltnessdldso claiming that ho did every
thing except attend to the medical work.
JQontty hnd boon bookkeeper and received" $50
per month for bis .services with board , wash
ing nnd lodging for himself nnd wife.
If witness had not worked as ho hnd it
jvoulii have cost the state much more. Ho
liad an assistant for only three months nt n
cost tn the state of only $75. For nil of this
Work witness received pay only as steward.
lie then claimed that Instead of SlttJ5.l5 : ! ,
which It was claimed the Institution hnd
paid for drugs the ln t six months , the amount
ought to bo divided as follows : Interest ,
f.15.51 ; drugs , $1311.87 ; merchandise other
than drugs , $010.05 ; wines nnd liquors ,
$101..15.
Ho then wont over a couple of vouchers
showing many of the Items Included iu the
; , tr. Jorogolng were glass , putty , paints and oils ,
sjB'and o'hor articles not kept in stock by the
" "VJrchnnts of Hastings , which the druggist
.rtUild order.
Tha witness then stated that ho hnd made
a comparative showing of the cost of the
Ilustings aud Norfolk asylums as shown by
the records iu the auditor's oftlco. The ox-
poiiso of the former for the time in question
was ? 33.207.63 and of the latter UG95.ir : .
Tbo cxponso of the Hastings Institute
ever nnd nbovo tuat of Norfolk was
owing to the deficiency with which
the former hnd to contend , nnd
Which if rightly considered ought to make u
r" difYoronco of $13,000. Ho said further that
because of the deficiency , goods cost n great
deal moro than they otherwise would.
The coal subject was then introduced , the
Nebraska fuel company claiming that Stew
ard Liveringhouso had furnished them with
no estimate , nnd consequently did not afford
them a chnnco to compote.
Mr. Llvorlnghouso admitted that they had
received bids for clothing but not for grocer
ies , nnd thnt atone time Mr. Klpp of Hast
J ings hnd refused to furnish groceries because
of the nbsonco of money. Witness stated
thnt bo had exercised the same care in mak
ing purchases as ho did m his own nfTalrs.
Several times merchants had kicked because
lie hnd cut down some of thulr over charges.
Ho disclaimed nil intention of acting disre
spectfully to tbo board by not appearing bo-
Xoro when first written to.
Goasler Lee , formerly n supervisor and nn
Attendant of tha asylum , know the
patlont , Xlcglor , who had died from nn
overdose of modlcino. The Inttor hnd boon
Snaking n nolso. Loofburrow cnnio into wit
nesses' room for a spoon , but could got nono.
Ha took n tonlo cup and poured into it u
Btrcani of modlclnc , saying : "I'll glvo the
a dose so that ho won't innko anymore
moro nolso tonight. "
Next , morning the patlont was unconscious.
o remained until ho tiled at 12S5 : ! p.m.
Witness in the morning reported the condi
tion of the patlont to I'lnckuoy , the supor-
* vylsor whoso duty It wns to report to Dr. Test.
U'ho latter did not call upon the unconscious
man until 11 o'clock In the morn
f ing. The doctor was also Irregular
In his calls , four and flvo days elapsing with
out his visiting the wards. The witness
claimed that about u pint of beef , Iron nnd
wine would bo used by the male inmates In
three days , nnd that thrco pints of whisky
.Would last for a month.
This feature seemed to make it difficult to
Account for the wtno nnd liquors ordered.
Leo was cross-oxamlnod by Darnell , but was
not shaken In his statements. The board
took a rcceis until 1 p. m ,
Lee stated that ho had loft the Institution
ot hut own free will , and had asked and re
ceived n recommendation from Dr. Test , and
Hill retained it.

FALCONER. .
In his language and profnno to the pat louts ,
aim tbnt ho had been reprimanded for his
profanity br Dr. Hainan assistant physician.
Whisky had boon used when the patients
were sick , and where stimulants , eggnog ,
etc. , were required. The night watch was
not allowed to proscribe medicine. The only
way that witness ciould account for
the Issuing of medicine to Zoicrlcr
was because Loofburrow had received
orders to that effect. The vial from
which the medicine was taken was of two
ounces and it was at least halt full after the
Xioglor dose hart boon poured. The witness
didn't know whether Plncknoy had reported
the occurrence to the physicians , but did
know that no physician had visited Ziegler
until after 11 o'clock in the morning. Ho
felt that Zolglor had been given an overdose
of medicine. Ho did not hnvo the matter
looked into because bo had no authority , nnd
to have complained of it would have resulted
in his luslng his placo.
Mr. Darnell then cross-examined the wit
ness nnd ascertained that ho had couio of his
own volition and at the request of the attor
ney general. It was sought to bo-shown that
the witness had written a letter to Smith ( n
witness who nnpenred later ) , In which It was
stated that if ho did not got Test in this man
ner ho would got him In some othnr way.
But ho denied that ho had over written
Smith In that manner. Ho admitted
thnt ho had told Dr. Test that
ho did not think Zleglor had died from the
effects of the medicine , because ho felt If ho
hadn't done so , ho ( the witness ) would bo
discharged. At the time that ho told Dr.
Test thnt , ho know it was not true , but ho
did not want to lose his Job. Ho never know
Smltb , the attendant , to tell n lie. It had
been reported that the latter had bbsn dis
charged for using Intoxicating liquors , but
Dr. Stone said that such was not the ca-so.
Secretary Allen After leaving the asylum
did you report the Zloglor case to anyone }
Lee Vos , to Governor Thavor. I gave
him an nflldavit on Uio'JiM of May ,
With what result ?
Ho returned thoanldavlttomo nnd said the
matter had taen investigated by Dr , Stouo
and Dr. Test and that Klcglor had died from
natural causes , And m they were physicians
ho left them to decide.
The defendant's attorney wanted to know
how ho could testify against Dr. Test when
iho latter hnd given the witness a recom
mendation on his own request when ho loft.
Witness said ho thought it only what ho was
entitled to. Hn also' admitted that he had
told Dr. Test that ho didn't want to remain
if ho ( tno doctor ) was to bo succeeded by Dr.
Johnson. The latter , however , honrd of the
witnesses' fear of being discharged nnd told
him that ho need have no fear of that and
assured him of a position. It was sought
to bo shown that the witness had loft because
the matron had been discharged , and the In
sinuation was ropellod. Uoports regarding
the matron had gone to Governor Thayer nud
ho didn't llko thorn. Witness was then ox-
cnscti.
The examination wns resumed in the after
noon and Cioslor Lea asked to bo placed on
the stand again. Ho did so for
the purpose of removing any doubt
from tbo mind of tbo board that ho
had in any manner written to Smith to the
effect that It ho did not got Dr. Test in this
manner ho would In some other way. Tha
attorney for the defendant again took hold
of him nnd ascertained that ho had been
spoken to by Mr. Boatty , tuo late book
keeper , and hud said te him that Iho institu
tion needed to bo looked after.
Secretary Allen You said this morning
that you bad talked with the governor. What
did ho say I
Lee Ho said he would take time to look.
Into the matter and would Investigate the
matter. ( The /.toglor case. ) 1 told him that
as for myself , I wa-s under expense. Ho said
that I was In tbo threatening ordur and acted
in an Indignant inauuor to mo.
Did you see him again I

G. J. Smith was the next witness. Ho had
been nn attendant nt the asylum , know
Xloglor nnd testified substantially to the
same facts reeardlng the dosing of that
patlont as did Lue. Ho was a room mate of
the Inttfir nnd both he and Lee were in bed
in their room when Loofbnrrow came In
looking for n tea spoon. At o'M : next morn
ing /toglor could not bo roused. If ho were
raised up ho would drnndown llko a rag , and
died nt 13:35 : p. in. Ho afterwards talked
with Dr. Stone and Dr. Test about the oc
currence. A month since , both
ho nnd Lee hau niado dupli
cate allldaviUs and sent a copy
to the governor setting forth the facts of
X.leglor's death. Ho wont to work at the asy
lum about October 15 , 181)0 ) , and remained
till last spring. Ho bad frequently worked
in Insane asylums. In Kulamazoo for nearly
four years , Nowborg asylum , Cleveland , O. ;
asylum at Traverse City , Mich.
Attorney General What medicine was ad
ministered te Xloglorl
Smith I don't know. From ray own opin
ion I think it was paraldahldo.
How often did the attending physician
visit the wards )
Sometimes every day ; sometimes thrco or
four days would elapse without his coming
on the ward. Once when ho was sick Dr.
Stone took his placo.
How often did physicians visit wards In
the other asylums in which you worked 1
Usual visits were twice a day. Once iu the
morning and once in the evening , generally
after supper.
The witness was cross-oxamtnod by Mr.
Darnell for the purpose of showing that ho
bad been discharged for using intoxicating
liquors. Witness denied that such
was the case. One night ho had
gonn to the asylum under the in-
tlunnco of drlnlc. Dr. Test had found it
out and sent for him. They had had a long
talk nnd witness asked if it meant that ho
was discharged. Ho said that ho had earned
his money and proposed to spend it as ho felt
disposed. After ho loft Dr. Toit he met Dr.
Stone in the pharmacy nnd teld him that Dr.
Tt-jt had discharged him. Dr.
Stone said that he thought ho
had the discharging of people
and ordered him back to attend to his
ward. Ho wont baok and remained there for
three months. Then Dr. Test sent nu Order
to Pinckuoy te rullovo him. Dr. Test after
wards told witness the matter would have
been all right if It had not been for
tbo part Dr. Stone had taken in It.
Witness therefore denied that he had bo n
discharged fordrunkonnosi.
An attempt was made to show that Loof
burrow had been instructed to report slck-
uoss In tbo wards only to Dr. Stone , This
was done to remove the suspicion from Dr.
Test that ho had boon negli
gent in not calling to sco Zloglor
for nonrly llvu hours after tbo latter nud
been discovered unconscious from the effects
of Loofburrow's close. But the witness
claimed ho know nothing about Loofburrow's
orders.
Taylor Steen , who had formerly boon an
usher and later assistant receiver of supplies
at tha asylum , next took the stand.
Ho. said that his duty was to check and
weigh the goods received at the institution.
Ho chocked all of them , but did not walgh
them all. Ho aid not weigh those from the
Hastings houses , but bo did thaso from the
Lincoln Jobbers. To do this , the goods were
removed from the barrels and the latter woru
afterward weighed ,
The sensation of the trial was reached ,
however , whun the following wa.s asked :

copt what was covered by the notice.
Mr. Humphrey said the matter might bo
Immaterial but ho could see no objection to
its going in.
Darnell objected again , but filially it xvns
decided to hoar the witness ,
Steen It was about Dr. Test nnd Mrs ,
LIverlngliOHse. Mr. Llvoringhouso came to
rae and asked if I thought that Mrs. Liver-
lnhouso and Dr. Test worn acting Just right.
What did you tell himl
I said I didn't think that they woro. Dr.
Test railed a mooting ono night afterwards
nnd settled It all.
Who attended the mooting !
Two or thrco omployos , Loofburrow , Mrs.
Smith , Miss Bulger and Mrs. Slater. This
mooting was sometime in October , 1890.
This testimony caused a calm to pervade
the room which was only the premonition of
another outburst on the part of Darnell when
the attorney general announced ho had two
lady witnesses , Mrs. Vnndorpool nnd Mrs.
Whoolnnd , whom ho wished to place on the
stand.
The defendants' attorney asked for an ad
journment till Monday , Docauso ho wanted
the defense to puolish tbo story with that of
the ladles in question. Ho said it was unfair
on the part of the board to Insist on matters
outsida of the notice.
To this the attorney general replied that it
was not unjust. The notice included the sub
ject upon which they proposed to examine
the women , and to provo it road the notice.
Darnell claimed that was not the notice
served on them but could not provo the
assertion.
Finally an adjournment was taken till
Tuesday after Frank Darling had testified
ho had bought goods from Livermghouso , belonging -
longing to the state , payment for which hud
boon taken out of Ills wages. Ho did not
know , however , that LIveringhouso had not
turned the cash for them to the state ,

MARRIAGE DECLARED VOID.
Judge Hall Hands Down a Romaikablo
Decision.
WERE LEGALLY MARRIED IN MISSOURI.
But Did Not Observe the Nebraska
Law Ednoy-liaum Contro
versy OddH and
Ends.
LIXCOMT , Nob. , Juno 27. [ Special to
TIIF. BKE.J Judge Hall of the district court
has decided thnt the inarrlngo ot S , G.
Owen to Mrs. Jennie Dosch was lllognl and
void , because the lady hnd not boon divorced
from her lir.it husband six mouths at tuo
tlmoof her marriage to Owon. As the marriage -
riago occurred In ICansoa City , and was per
fectly legal according to the laws of Missouri ,
the opinion of Judge Hall has created moro
supriso nnd discussion than probably any
decision that hns boon hnmlod down In the
district court for years. It has boon generally
understood that n marrlagn that was lo al in
the state where it was parformod was legal
wherever the touplo wont , whu were united.
Judge Hall , however , declares that , although
according te the laws of Missouri , Mrs.
Dosch was legally married to Owen and that
tnoy were actually man and wlfo as long as
they were In Missouri , yet the minute they
crested the Missouri line and came to Ne
braska the lady ceased to bo Mrs. Owen , the
wlfo of Mr. S. G. Owon.
This remarkable opinion has natvnliy cre
ated considerable adverse criticism. Jrnigo
Tlbbotts , however , with whom Judge Hall
consulted , declares that Hall hns authority
nud good reasons for the decision. Other at
torneys , however , ridicule the opinion.
Ono of thorn , who does not wish his name
mentioned , gays :
"It is simply a remarkable error of Judg
ment. Marriage Is n civil contract and a civ II
contract that Is good In 'Missouri Is legal
throughout iho whole United States. When
Mr , Owen and Mrs. Dosch implied for a
marriage license in Missouri , tfioro was no
lojjnl Impediment to tholr inarrlngo. After
the ceremony was performed Owens saluted
the woman as his wlfo and Introduced her as
such nd she was actually his wlfo.
How absurd to assort that tha holy
bonds of matrimony worn shattered the min
ute the two crossed the Missouri rlvor and
landed in Nebraska. Judge Hnll might as
well declare that ovorv marrlngo in the
United States not In strict accord unco with
the forms ot the Nebraska statutes wns
illegal , nnd tha minute nny persons who had
boon married according to the statutes of a
state different te thosa of Nebraska should
happen to come into Nebraska that they
could bo arrested for criminal intimaoy and
sent to the penitentiary. "
It Is reported late this afternoon that Mrs.
Owen's attorney will takn the case to the
supreme court ,

The motion for a now trial Illod by plain
