LINCOLNNob. . , Sept. 2S.-Spcctal [ to Tin :
BKB.J The exposures In the tnnnntoracnt ? ot
the Lincoln Insane asylum made last evening
by E. 0. Hewlett of this city have been the
subject of general comment In Lincoln today.
No other speech delivered here this year has
attracted so much attention nnd so much
comment. No ono has yet questioned tuo
nccuruej of Mr. Kowiok'n llRUros , but nny
purpose to turn them to the advantage of thd
political party to which tlio sponKor has but
recently attached himself lias fallen
flat. The independent loaders arc not
likely to use Mr. UewloU's state
ments , sensational though they may he ,
pa arguments In favor of the calamity ticket.
tTliQ exposures simply tend to provo what
everybody In the state , without regard to
party olilllution , has suspected for years
thattherj has been gross mismanagement In
the conduct of some of the state Institu
tlons. The members of the State Board of
Public Lands add Buildings have for yearn
cmtlcrvorcd to llr.d nny evidence that would
load to the uncovering of frauds that they
felt certain were bolnc practiced. Tlio r
turo of Mr. Howlok's charges , as shown by
Tun UBI : yesterday , concerns the lalslilca' '
tlon of vouchers by the steward In regard to
th'o purchase of supplies for the nsylum.
Mr. Kuwlclr said that lust spring ho re
ceived a request to call at the ofllco ot the
auditor at tno state house. Ho wont there
pnd was mot by George Howorman , deputy
DUdllor. who took him upstairs to the ofllco
Ot the attorney general. ComroUsloncr
JHumphroy was sent for and the four gcntlo-
jncti rolli-cd to the private room where the
attorney general requested him to lurnish
the evidence of the corruption which ho had
discovered. Ho stated ttiat ho had shown
Ills utlldavlta to the attorney genera !
end that that oillcial hud treated
thorn lightly and declined to take up the imit-
.or and pursue the Investigation. Ilo men
oft nnd walked down stairs arm In arm wltli
Mr. Houernian , and while on Iho way down
expressed his opinion of the attorney gonoru
u vorv eniuhatlo language. Ho added thai
, ho deputy auditor frequently Intorruptet
lim wilh requests not to talk so loud for fear
hot some ono might hear him , but In splto
) f the request ho kept right ou expressing
i lis opinion of the attorney general.
Another Version ol the Story.
Attoiney General Hastings gives an en
tlroly different version of the interview
fehieh look place In his oulro. Ho states
that when he hoard last spring that Mr
llewlck was In possession of evidence tha
tvas likely to Incriminate employes m thi
Itato Institutions , ho sent for him aud re
guested that ho divulge his information
3.'uo attorney agreed to commence crimina
and civil proceedings ngalnat any and nil
persons who might be implicated. Ho said
that ho would except no ono and that ho
would commence proceedings against oven
the highest oiticor In the slate house It nec
essary. Mr. Ilowlck decl'nod ' to give up his
Information for tbo reason that It might got
tlm line trouble. The attorney gen
eral ihon proposed that Mr. Kewick
put Iho evidence In his bands
nud that the proceedings would bo com-
gncnccd und no ono would know that the evi-
pence had been furnished by Mr. Howlck.
To tlm nroposltlon Mr. Howlck also dis
sented. * He then stated that bo would like
to receive the nomination for police Judge on
. Iho repuoilcan ticket and that If the mom-
IroW61 the Btato Board of Public Lands and
Buildings would assist him in securing that
.nomination ho would destroy the evidence in
ihls poaso.sslon. U.'ho attorney general , In
{ fun gunge that was at least emphatic , do-
jiour.ccil him as a Dlackmailor and ordered
( blm out of iho ofllco.
The mtornoy goueral'a statement Is cor-
robor.itau by iho other gentlemen present
it the interview.
' lluulclc Mtilcen MimiTlirostta.
Ill rorroboratlnc the statement mndo by
the nttornoy general Mr. George Bowcrraau
also multcs the following Htatomont :
"When the republican city convention wns
In session lust spring Mr. Howlclc catno to
me and requested mo to use my influence to
bell ) him secure the nomination. I declined
to do so. The balloting commenced and Mr.
, flowiclt saw that his opponent , Judge Waters ,
n was likely to secure the nomination. I was
I Buattd on a back seat and Rowlck cnmo tone
no und told mo that unless I got up at that
tlmo und used my Influence to turn the tldo
in bl % favor ho would make his attack upon
"thn Board of Public Ltuias and Buildings
the next day. I again declined and Mr.
Uewlck was defeated. "
A number of other parties were approauhod Il I
tiy Mr. Hewlett , It Is assorted , and by him
requested to use their influence to aid him In
securing the nomination for police Judge In
consideration of his agreeing to suppress the
charges which ho claimed to bo able to
make ; but Tun BIK : roprcsentallvo gives the
statements of only those- gentlemen whom ho
was able to BOO personally In regard to the
mat ter.
Mr. Hathaway , manager of the Nebraska
Dully State Journal , stated to Tin : Bi'.r. rnp-
resontatlvo that ho had been ipnrouched by
Mr. Hnwluk last spring In rofere'nco to the
cbarecs. At that time Mr. Howlck agreed
to suppress the charges providing Mr , Hnth-
fuvuy xvould secure him a lucrative position
during tuo campaign ,

Ex-Attorney General Leeso snld to THE
BKK representative today that nny attempt
to mnkn political charges of the staterooms
mudo by Mr. Kowiok should bo frowned
down , l ! noral Leoto Is a prominent mem
ber of thn independent party and occupied a
seat on the platform with the speaker last
ovonlng. Ho was also the attorney general
of the state for three terms nnd un ex-ofllclo
member of the Board or Public Lands and
Buildings , ilo said It wus absolutely Impos-
atbla for the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings to detect tbo frauds referred to by
iho speaker last evening. The board migh't
nuspocl that they were there , but it '
had no moans of detecting them
under tbo present laws of the stato. The
. superintendent of the Institution is the re
sponsible ofllcer. The board takes the
vouchers that are presented each month nnd
compares them with iho copy of the original
bid on fllu with the secretary of stato. Jl
the amount compares with ttio bid aud the
UDOrintondont bus properly cartlllod to the
claim the board has no nltornatwo but to
order It paid. 1 f It did not order It paid the
supreme court would couipal It by means ol
a niniidumus. Mr. LoebO tuted that ho did
not doubt tbo evidence furnished by the
Epenknr. out that any attempt to attach the
responsibility should not bu laid at the doord
of tbo board. Ho builoved that tha present
nttornoy general would luwo boon as good as
his word when bo suldhu would commence
proceedings on being fur.ilslied with thu ovl
Oeuco.
