H THR
Boil Batata Owners Investigating the Thir
teenth Street Grading Matter ,
MR , RANSOM HAS THE FIRST INNINGS ,
Ho Tolls or tlio Inlluanccs Uiulcr
Which Ho Dismissed the Injunc
tion Salt Commenced
Uy Mr. Berlin.
The manner In which tbo grading of South
Thirteenth street was handled last fall baden
on airing yesterday.
It will bo remembered that the contract
for doing the work was awarded to William
Carr and that on October 23 , 1800 , U. S. Ber
lin brought suit again U L , M. Anderson , W.
J. Turner , Hlchnrd O'Kcofo and P. J. Corrl-
gan to enjoin the work. The satno day
Judge Wukoloy Issued a restraining order
upon the application of Berlin.
The case was afterwards dismissed , and
to ascertain the why , the members of the
Heal Estate Owners' association have
brought an Investigation.
A committee consisting of John T. Cathor _ ,
St. A. D. Balcombo and A. L. Hood mot In tbo
association rooms yesterday and under
took the work assigned.
Tbo controversy was brought about by a
sortos of letters and denials published by
Berlin , tbo plaintiff In the suit and Frank T.
Hansom , his attorney.
Just how to conduct tbo case was a serious
question with the committee. Mr. Balcombo
proposed that each man submit bis evidence
In writing nnd than lot the commlttoo sum
up nnd dccldo. To do this ho proposed that
Hansom have until Monday afternoon to sub
mit his affidavits. Then Berlin was to bavo
until Tuesday afternoon to submit his
uflldavits. In rebuttal Ransom was to have
until Thursday and Berlin until Friday aft
ernoon to submit , aflldavlts In closing.
Hansom said such a course would satisfy
him , but that It would not bo satisfactory to
tno public. Ho wanted the committee nnd
tbo public to hoar all of the testimony. Ho
also wanted to see the witnesses
face to face nnd llnd out whether
or not ho had a riirht to dismiss the suit.
Mr. Berlin said that bo was anxious to
accommodate the gentleman and wanted to
go to the bottom of the facts. Ho had no pro
fession to advertise or llnuutlntho face of
the publlc.and had no doalro to bo kept before
the public as a standing advertisement for
weeks.
Hansom took exceptions to the rumors and
whllo ho WHS not anxious to ndvortiso him
self bo did not want to bo double faced.
"It don't look that way , " interrupted
Berlin.
Major Balcombo took a hand in the discus
sion and said that he did not propose to sit
around two or three weeks listening
to personal wranglings. Ho thought the
proper way to conduct the bearing
would bo by affidavits and counter
affidavits , but was willing to abldo by the
action of the committee. Ho did not propose
to let a lot of attorneys devour him , ns ho
was not roadv to bo disposed of in that man
ner. If it was going to be a town niootlnf ; to
air political aspirations ho did not propose to
have anything to do with the case. The
major was assured that there would be no
town meeting and that politics would not bo
allowed to become n partof the investigation.
Mr. Berlin stated that ho would furnish a
list of his witnesses and that the committee
could take their affidavits.
"That won't do , " responded the major
' You don't get mo to co out hunting up wit
nesses. They must bo brought hero so that
wo can hevo what they have to say. "
John T. Clark insisted that the committee
could never gi't nt the bottom facts by reading -
ing aflldavlts , as ono man would'hnvo a lot of
documents staling facts tbut the other side
would kuuw nothing about.
Mr. Gathers said that ho realized that a law
stilt could not bo conducted propoily by read
ing affidavits.
The other members agreed and Mr.Catburs
was elected to the position of Judge of , the
Investigation with 'Instructions to bold tbo
witness down to the strict rule of evidence.
At this point Hansom and Berlin had a
little tilt.
Berlin said : "I have not got any lawyer
to represent mo. "
Hansom replied , "Dick , you had batter go
out and get one tor you will need such an
attachment before you got through with
this. "
Mr. Hansom was wilting to pay all of the
costs If the committee decided against him.
Berlin wanted to divide the costs , to which
Hansom objected.
"Frank , " said Berlin , "prior to this time
wo bavo been good friends and I hone that
this trouble will not break our friendship. I
am willing to ipavo everything to you. "
"You need not waive any of your rights ,
Dick , " responded Hansom , "for I hnvo got
tbrougb taking any suggestions from you.1
After this everybody got down to business
nnd the grinding commenced.
Frank T. Hansom was sworn and 103tided
that about November. 1S90 , Berlin and An
derson went to his ofllcn for the purpose of
securing an injunction to restrain the grad
ing of South Thirteenth street. Ho talked
with Berlin a unmoor of times before filing
the suit. Berlin said that politics cut a
figure in the case and that ho wanted to lot
tbo publio know the facts.
The stilt was brought because the books
showed there was no mocoy in the funds.
Berlin said there would bo a number of men
employed on the grade and that they would
bo a power at tbo election If allowed to vote
the democratic ticket , which ho did not pro
pose to let them do.
Mr. Berlin objected to the testimony on
the grounds that It had no bearing on the
case. Ho Insisted that Hansom might show
that the case wns dismissed , but rould not
show why It was tits missed ,
The objection was over-ruled nnd Hansom
continued. Two months after a talk was hod ,
but there was no hearing of the caso. The
temporary injunction was continued. lie had
tnlkod with Berlin andAndorson u number of
tlinoa ; told Berlin that ho would win tbocaso
on account of the llmmcial condition of the
county. Anderson was wllllntr to bo sued , as
ho did not want the contract entered Into.
Two months before the case was dismissed ,
talked with Borlin. Later John T. Clarke
said ho was interested in the case nnd that
the matter had boon settled. Clarlio said
that by an nrrangnmont with the defendants ,
Berlin Had agreed to pay the costs. Clarke
was informed that the attorney fee would ' 10
WOO. After that Berlin talked with witness
a number of times , but no agreement
was reached upon the question of attorneys
foes. John T , Clarke visited witness and
said that bo would pay all of tbo costs anil an
attorney foe of $ .V ) . After that witness mot
Berlin a number of times. About March 7 ,
Mahoney , the county attorney ; Cnrr , the
grading contractor , and Dick O'KcolTo said
mutters had been settled nnd they
wanted the suit dismissed. They had
several checks to make up the attorney fee
that had been agreed upon. O'Kooffo had
the checks.
On March 7 Berlin wrato the witness n
letter. In wblch ho stated that ho knew noth
ing about the dismissal of the suit and de
manded an explanation. A faw duvs later
witness met Berlin at the depot and greeted
him in u friendly manner. Ho was in com
pany with some ladies and nothing was said
about the trouble.
Some days later Berlin met witness at the
Lincoln hotel at Lincoln , when bo. Hansom ,
told Mr. Horlln that h was nsuoak run ! U linr.
Berlin did not want the latter to orcak off
their friendship. Witness said that bo did
not want anything to do with Berlin. There
was a great deal of harsh tolu and Berlin
said the Idea was to keep bis record straight.
After receiving the letter witness mot
O'lCceffo nnd demanded an investigation by
the county board. O'Koeffosaid It was all
right , us all of the members of tbo board un
derstood tbo situation.
A few days ago witness mot Berlin on the
car. Berlin wanted to talk. Her did not
want any Investigation. Said It would
uot do to have any Investigation ns It
would hurt the political ohancqi of both ,
Tbut ended the Interview ,
On cross-examination witness testified that
John Clark had told him that ho and Berlin
wanted tbo suit dismissed. Witness had not
hoard Berlin say that bo wanted everybody
to comply with the provisions of the law before
fore a dismissal was entered.
John T. Clarke wai put upon the stand.
Ho was In Hansom's ofllco In March
to arrange about attorney fees for
conducting the caio. Ho bad arranged
with Berlin aud was acting for
himself and others , o that the grading of
the itruot could no on. Saw Berlin a short
time before going to Hansom's office. Berlin
refused to have that case dlsmlisod , as
there were > omo matters that bad to bo
settled. Onoof the I main things was that
Berlin did not scorn toivundcratnnd that the
Improvement was totopen the street to tbo
Sarpy county line. Clark had no financial
Interest In the case , liilo told Hansom that
ho did not think Berlin and the others would
not pay a fXX ) foe. Hu > ( Clarke ) chipped In
and helped pay tbo attorney's foo. Berlin
never objected to M the dismissal of
the case If the fccstand costs were paid.
On cross examination the witness
testified that hadid not know
whether or notr.lnny of Berlin's
checks were given ito pay the costs , but
thought that ho did. not pay any of the
monoy. Had talked wjh | Berlin , who always
said the road was of no Donellt to th.o coun
ty unless it wont throdgh to the county lino.
Thought the suit was brought on
account of Berlin's III fcol In if
toward the other commissioners.
Clarke thought Berlin was making an ass of
hlmsolf In bringing the suit. The grading of
the street was money well spont. Berlin did
not aay that bo would withdraw the suit
without the street was opened to the county
line , but that was the understanding. Tbo
politics talked of were exclusively la the In
terest of hlmsolf. Ha was anxious to appear
as the watch dog of the county hoard. Berlin
wanted $3,500 expended In tbo vicinity of
West Lawn and never objected to that.
Witness know that the expenditure was
made , but know nothing about any agree
ment.
Tbo understanding , Mr. Clnrko said , was
that when the suit was dismissed that South
Thirteenth street was to bo extended to the
county lino. There were no papers signed ,
but It was expected. Witness had no Inter-
oat in the contract nor the contractor , but
paid 210 on Hansom's foe. The balance was
paid by John Hush andOtbor South Thirteenth
street property owners. Witness' only ob
ject In having the suit dismissed was'that
the street might bo put In a passable condi
tion and that a thoroughfare might bo opened
up to now Fort Omaha.
Hansom never seemed Interested In any
thing but his foes. Witness did not kaow
that the grading of South Thirteenth street
had anything to do with the grading of West
Lawn , but thought it strange that an Injunc
tion Issued against South Thirteenth street
and the other work was allowed to proceed.
I. S. Hascatl was sworn and said that ho
was interested In the grading of South Thir
teenth street. Had a tallt with Berlin about
dismissing tbo suit. Berlin thought the Idea
Idea of the grading was to colonize
Clontarf precinct for election purposes. Ber
lin was opposed to making the street a local
road to benefit O'Kooffo nnd Corrlgnn , but
was willing to dismiss if the road could bo
made a through line to Sarpy county In order
to connect with the Fort Omaha boulevard.
Assurances that it would bo sooxtended wcro
made and tbo case was dismissed. The mon
ey to settle tbo costs nnd attorney foes was
raised by South Thirteenth street property
Owners. The South Omaha people helped in
tbo matter and after the .suit wont out of
court worlt proceeded according to agree
ment.
ment.Witness
Witness said that Berlin gave out the Information
mation that nothing could bo done until after
election. With that Understanding the case
wont ovor. Berlin \vas ready for trial ,
but offered no objections to tbo
case going over. Witness supposed tbo
colonization of men was for the purpose of
helping the democratsnnd making u rotten
borrough out of CloAUrf. Berlin did not
enter into the merits qf tbo case and did not
say who it was Intondfcd ; to elect or defeat If
the grading was continued.
At tno afternoon session of the commlttoo
lion. E. W. SImoral was sworn. Witness
had mot Berlin and had offered to romstato
the case of Berlin * < talnst the county com
missioners. Berlin said that ho was too
busy tb attend to the matter. A faw days
later Berlin told witness that a f.1,000 war
rant had bocn allowed on tbo contract and
that Its payment ought to bo enjoined.
Witness told Berlin that the prosecution
would not cost him. Berlin , a cent. Berlin
rafiUed to fllo a petition or have anything to
do vrltn the caio.
Upon being cross examined , witness stated
that when Berlin talked to him there was
plenty of time to have slopped the payment
of the $3,000 warrant that was Issued to Carr ,
tbo contractor.
Henry Blum was next culled. HJ clerked
In the -oftlco of Frank T. Hansom ; know
Berlin nnd had hoard him talk about the
dismissal of the suit of Berlin against
Anderson nnd others. Ho always wanted
tbo suit dismissed if defendants paid the
co.ts. Witness mot Berlin on Fnrnnm street
a few days nco ; said that ho was Hansom's
friend nnd would stand by him. Hansom was
told to got everything out of the defendants ;
know that that was the suit , as Thirteenth
street was always talked of. Wltnosi did
not know why the suit was dismissed.
At 2:30 : the committee adjourned until
Monday afternoon.
