THIS OMAHA DAILY TJKE : SUNDAY , MAY 7 , 1803-SIXTEEN PAGES. the story , regarding It at very thin and flimsy , for they know that whim the com- tnlttoo was apolntccl | ) nnd witnesses \tcro summoned the rosjwndonts were requested to appear and give their testimony. Whllo it Is true that they were before the commit tee , not ono of them attempted to explain away the charges , but instead of doing so they tried to suppress testimony nnd retard the work of the committee , not only doing this themselves , but going so far as to do everything possible to bring about a white wash report. The testimony that the men offered when they were witnesses before the committees shows that nt that tlmo they had an oppor tunity to clear their skirts , but that they preferred to rover up , instead of disclose , the real facts In connection with the cell house and the hospital investigation. When Allen WIM nn the Stnnd. Heglnnlng with J. C. Allen , the whole of his testimony before the commlttco shows conclusively to the minds of the most of the people of this city that there was something which ho wanted to cover so deep that it would never see the light of day. When asked , "How often did Dorgan ro- jxirt to the commissioner of public lands aim buildlngst" ho replied , "Do not know. " As the examination proceeded every an swer showed the gross negligence of the l > oard , nnd there was no explanation offered. To prove this the testimony li reproduced and is as follows : "Were the plans and specifications adopted before work was commenced upon the cell house ! " "I do not think they were ; Dorgan , the superintendent , had the plans drawn him self " "Tho board had nothing to do with the plansV "Wo did not engage the architect ; whether the board passed upon the plans as prepared. I could not say. " "Thoy were never presented to the board with your knowledge f" "I do not remember. " "If the plans were submitted to the board , you. as Bcerotary , would know It ? " "Yes , sir. " "Is It usuaMn building public buildings for the plans and specifications to bo submitted to the board ! " "Yes , sir : I guess where wo build by con- traet wo have always tiasscU upon the I > lans. " "I have been informed that there is a charge against Mr. Dorgau to the effect that the charge for certain public work for the convict labor of certain work that was never done by convicts. Do you know that applied to the cell house ! " "I do not. " No Clinclc Kept on Morgan. "What did the hoard do towards verifying Mr. Dorgan's report of labor done by con victs ? " "Well , wo had no way of verifying that. " "Do you know what rate the state was to pay for the convict labor on the building ? " "One dollar per day. " "Then if I understand you correctly , Mr. Allen , the records of your oftlcc , as a mem ber of the Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings - ings , do not show whether the work charged against the state on that building was really done or noli" "Only as the vouchers woul.1 show. " "These vouchers are vouchers made out by Mr. Dorgan himself ; no other verification ? " "Yes , sir. " "How was it with the material ! " "I undertook to superintend the pur chase of the material. " "As a member of the board do you know 'What ' material was purchased and the prices paid ! " "No , sir. " "You don't know anything about the stone work stone purchased { " "Nothing about It. " 'is the work on the cell house finished ? " "No , sir. " "Do you know how much of the appro priation has been disbursed ! " "I do not. " "Do you know If anv of It remains ? " " 1 think there Is. " IIU Memory Al n Unit. "Did the board give Dorgan any directions as to what kind of a building It wanted con structed ? " "Do not remember ; forgot that transac- tlon.- tlon."Wat "Wat it agreed that any particular plan should bo remembered ! " "I do not remember. " "Was It agreed who. should ho the archi tect ? " "I do not think it was. " "How did U happen that the board ap pointed Dorgan to do this work ? " "Ho was an applicant for It ; ho was 'there on the ground ; his services were offered to the board and It appointed him. " "Of course the board know ho was repre senting the prison contractor ! " "Yes , sir. " 1 "Was there any question raised as to whether his duties as agent of the the icontractor would conflict with his duties as ngontnf the board ? " " 1 do not remember. " "Do you remember If there was any agree ment or understanding with the board ! " " 1 cannot remember ; If there was any plan ( K was left to Dorgan's judgment. " "Do you remember what salary was paid to Dorgan ! " "fifty dollars per month. " ' That Is rather a small salary ? " "Yes , sir. " "How did It happen that It was so low ? " "I suppose that he represented to the board that ho could do the work for that. " "Tho board afterwards paid Mr. Hopkins $150 nor month ! " "Yes , sir. " "At tbo time Dorgan was dismissed as superintendent wore Ills vouchers and accounts - _ counts settled ? " "I do not think they wore ; the board never had any ilnal settlement with him. " No KITurt nt Sulf Dcfomo. Thus having closed the examination , Mr. Allen , as secretary of state and a member of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings , never offered a wont in explanation , nor did lie In any way offer to assist the committco In making the investigation , although ho well know that the men before whom ho was testifying were there to pass judgment nnd decide whether or not Impeachment charges should bo returned to the legisla ture against himself and his associates , Shortly after Mr. Allen left the commit tee room , A. li , Humphrey , the commis- nloncr of public lands and buildings , was called as a witness , that ho might tell what ho know about the irregularities at the penitentiary , but without volunteering any information or making any suggestions , ho simply submitted to the interrogations by the members. The examination was as fol lows : What Ciiiiiinl lunrr Humphrey Knew. "Will you bo kind enough to state whether the appropriation of MO.OOO made In 18U1 for the construction of a cell house has been ex pended ? " "I cannot tell yon , " answered the coinmls- elonor. "I have no record of the expenditure , of the board ; the record is kept by the secre tary of state. " "You are a member of the board ? " "I am the president. " "Is the money expended under the direc tion of the board ! " "Yes , under the direction of the board , nnd through Us foreman In the building of the cell house under the per diem rate. " "What proportion of the work on the cell house could not bo done by convicts ? " "I could not tell you , " "You did not advertise for bids nor lot any contracts ! " "No , sir. " "You state , I believe , that tills work was done under superlntemiency ? " "Under a superintendent appointed by the board. The present superintendent is Dan Hopkins , the superintendent ho succeeded was W. H. Dorgan. " "What was the character of his employ ment1 employed by the month or how ? " "lly the month. " "I understand while the work was in prepress - press there were ton or a dozen bosses ? " "We Instructed our superintendent to charge up the labor of the convicts at 11 per day. " "Was Mr. Dorgan in the employ of the contractor at the tlmo ho was appointed superintendent ! " "I think Ho was , but don't know In what company , " "Did Mr. Dorgan's duties to his employer rwjulro him to be at the penitentiary ? " "I understand he was in the employ of IMsou Contract company , but whether that kept him there , I do not Uuow , " How the CmUVo HunUUd. "Do you remember what Dorgan s salary was to be per month ? " "It might have been $50 or $100 ; I don't know. I-rocollect that at the tlmo he was appointed It was bccaa s ho was in the em ploy Of tbo Prison Contract company as kind of a purchasing agent ; his salary was put ow because ho was In the employ of the other company and wo thought that ho could workIwth Jols , " "Tho board made estimates of expendi tures' " "Wo drew vouchers for different amounts , fri.OW. $0,000 or $7XX ( ) , and when Dorgan was superintendent , before the work was com menced warrants would bo drawn and placed at his disposal. " "Did the board require Dorgan to fllo plans and spccllieatlons ! " 'Yes , sir ; they were filed with the hoard and then given back to him , " "Is It not true that the same person who liad charge of the work on the part of the state In building these cell houses also had charge of the labor on the part of the con tractor who furnished the labor ! " "It Is practically true ; Dorgan was the representative of the Hoard of Public. U-inds nnd Hulldlngs , and at the .nine tlmo ho was reputed to have been a kind of general man for the Prison Contract company. " "Did you compare all of the charges of the men In the vouchers of Dorgan with the books of the warden ? " "No , sir : have frequently given the war den u number of men nnil the number of days , and ho has told mo that that was cor rect. " The next witness to go before the commit tee was J. li Hill , the ox-treasurer and a member of the board , when be was asked : "Does tbo Hoard of Public Lands and Huild- Ings have supervision of the expenditures at the penitentiary ! " Hill TlioiiKht IlitrgiiiiVm.Str.ll lit. "Yes , " answered the witness. "You employed Dorgan as superinten dent ? " "Yes , wo did ; Dorgau , I guess , was a sub contractor ; I never knew just what ho was , but 1 guess ho was the bead man for Moshor ; 1 thought Dorgan was a straight man. and would make the appropriation go as far as possible ; wo wanted tin architect , but wo didn't want any expensive plans made. " "Wero plans and specifications filed with the board ! " "No , sir ; I believe not ; no plans were ever Inspected in my pntgcncc , but they might have been kept at the penitentiary with the contractor. " "You ? " never saw any "I saw what purported to bo plans ; I don't mean plans , and yet 1 might call them plans , too , because wo talked over how the cell house should bo built. " "Does the board usually allow buildings to bo constructed In that loose way ! " "No , sir ; wo do not. Wo always have plans and specifications , and now I will say frankly that I think there wore plans Hied. If they wore not Hied , It is news to me. " "How did It happen that you fixed Dor gan's salary at f. > 0 per month ! " "I supposed at that time that Dorgan was honest. " llnd llniird Homo Kiitnori. "Havo you since learned that ho was not ? " " 1 don't know as I ought to make the assertion , but there Is some reason to reflect on Mr. Dorgan. I confess that there were rumors , but I bad a great deal of confidence in his business management. " "t would like to ask you , as a member of tbo Hoard Of Public Lands and Buildings , if there was no danger of his duties as super intendent corning in conflict with his duties as the agent forMosher ! " ' That was discussed and I had a little fooling In regard to tbo propriety of having him , but no steps were taken to make a change. " "Did you make any inquiries of the warden regarding the amount of prison labor de voted to ibis building ! " "I never made any myself and do not know what the other members of the board did. " "Did you examine the loins and vouchers for material ! " "No , sir ; wo csupposcd wo received the material ; the bills were signed and seemed to bo all right. " "Did you make any inquiry as to the amount of stone shipped ! " "No ; only from the railroad receipts. " "Wore you aware of tbo assignment of the Mosher contract to Dorgan ! " " 1 do not remember of knowing ; I remem ber the tlmo of the assignment from the fact that I told some member of ibo board that we must put some ono else In as superin tendent , ao wo put in Hopkins. " .Somo Minor Dittiill * . "You paid nim a salary of J150 per month ? " "Yes , sir. " "How did that happen ? " "It was from the fact that wo could not got a superintendent to work as cheap as Dor gan. " "You had more confidence in Hopkins than in Dorgan , and were willing to pay him more ? " "Yes. sir ; but I had confidence in Dor gan. " "When some of the members went away on a trip , what was there about a $100 ex penditure , and how was It charged up ? " "I suppose that it was Itemized in the re port , but I do not want to bo mentioned , as I did not go and do not know. Messrs. Hast ings , Allen. Humphrey and Hopkins went. " "When Dorgan received money , how was It paid ? " "It was paid out this way : Dorgan drew a warrant and then made a detailed state ment , that Is ho made a statement in regard to the amount of the money ho paid out. Tlio warrants were for amounts ranging from $11,000 to $5.000. " "What assurance had the board that this money was applied to the payment of labor and the purchase of material ! " "The only evidence that wo had was the vouchers when ho brought them in ; there never was any settlement. " "In ono of Dorgan's receipts there is nn Item : 'December 8 , to expense , board fcVX.1 What is that ? " "Tho trip referred to before , but I did not go ; I refused. " "Did any ono make any objections to the Item when the report was filed ? " Not Very Cltmr on Tlilg. "Ido not know ; I don't remember of any $ T > 00 Item ; I don't remember of being at a mooting when It was discussed. " "What right had Dorgan to put in a bill for sending tlio board out on u tour ? " "I guess you will have to look after that ; I have nothing to say about it , as 1 did not know the Item was in the report. " "Does that $ . " > 00 show as having been put In by Dorgan ? " ' There Is no voucher for the amount. " "Is it not true that Dorgan would have a largo amount of money placed to his credit , that is from $4,000 to $ (5,000 ( at ono time , to use at his pleasure ! " "Yes , sir ; that Is a facto" "What was the object of that ! " "Wo thought that tbo best way as wo thought him responsible and that the practical way of doing. " "This building was constructed by convict labor , was it not ? " "Yes , sir ; a part of it. " "Of which Mosher was the contractor and this man Dorgan was his employe ! " "Yes , the records will show that , but I don't know whether there was any under standing , though I think wo gave him per mission to use convict labor. " When George II. Hastings , attorney gen eral , wont before the committee , ho test I lied that he was a member of the board , and wont along on the junket when the $500 was spent. Air , Huntluc * ' Defootlvu Momory. "Do you know what the Item of expense was for ? " was asked. "Yes , that was the expense of the com mittee. " "Did the committee have transportation furnished I" 1 think part of them did and part of them did not ; as to that I do not remember. " As a member of the board , did you have transportation ? " "I had part of the way , Mid I do not re member whether 1 had all of the way or not. " "Woro there any Items of account kept of the expense of the trip ! " "That I am unable to say ; I cannot toll. " "Did you adopt any system of ventilation that you discovered ? " "I think about the same system will bo put In. " "Aro you familiar with the system or method of subletting the convicts at the prison here ? " "I am not as familiar as I ought to bo ; it is a matter I have paid little attention to. " 'Isn't It a fact that in the building of the cell house nil the men who wore let to Dor gau were charged up each day to the state , regardless of the fact of whether they worked or notl" "That I am unable to answer ns we have not settled with Dorgan for the labor. " "Has ho reported the men at $1 per day ? " "I don't know whether ho has or not , us that has not been called to my attention. " "Is It the custom of the board to placet the state funds to tbo credit of the superintend ent before the work is done and then allow 111m to check out at his plciwirnt" "Wo never had but ono other case of that kind , because wo always lot the work by contract. " "Do you know anything about the ma chinery that was purchased by Dorgan with which to construct the building nnd was afterwards charged to the state ! " "No , 1 don't know anything about It. " I'ull Strlns < Hvi'ii ( lonliil Willliiu. "Dorgan was the responsible party , as shown to the board , for tbo construction of the cell house ! " "Yes , sir. It was within his jiowcr to mis apply funds , but ho was responsible for bills if ho contracted , etc. . but his bills were al lowed and paid out of the appropriation. " "Isn't it a fact that several thousand dollars lars of the appropriation were checked out for which tliero are no vouchers on file , and never have been ? " "It Is possible , but I have never maao any special Inquiry into it to ascertain the facts in the matter. " "Did the board go over the Items and scrutinize them at a meeting ! " "That I do not remember ; I don't remem ber of going over them to any great degree. As a matter of fact. I uid not glvo any crit ical attention to these matters of expendit ure. " "You advanced money to Dorgan at his request ! " "When he would como to the board and claim he had bllU to pay and would llguro on what they would amount to we would put him tu shape so ho would have funds. 1 can not say as we adopted any course to show what the cell house would cost.

[ Special to Tun Dec. ] When the case of the state of Wy oming against Clayton Cruse for murder was called on Tuesday , Prosecuting Attor ney Alvln Bennett made a motion to dismiss the ease. In reply to the court ho gave as a reason for the motion that the state was not in possession of any evidence upon which to found a case. Judge Mctz , who has recently been appointed to this now Fourth judicial district , declined to allow thocaso to bo thus disposed of. He said in effect that after the arrest of Cruse the United States district attorney applied to the authorities of John son county for hU surrender on a bench war rant Issued out of the United States court.

It Is the belief among a number of the more observing river men In this locality that thu Mississippi valley Is to bo visited by ono of the greatest floods ever known. Judge Browning of the Diamond Jo Packet company Is of this opinion , and when asked to glvo his reasons said that ho based his bclict ou the fact that the pineries in the north contained more snow now than ever before at this time. The backward spring had prevented this from molting as usual and It is still piled up In huge drifts.

DuMrrn , Minn. , May G. The tlrst lynching on the now Mosaba iron range near this city occurred this afternoon. Yesterday an uu- kuown man enticed two young girls , aged 5 and 0 , into the woods at the village of Moun tain Iron and criminally assaulted them. . As soon as It was learned that the deed had been committed all mining wont was suspended. A party started in search of the man and at noon today the searchers discov ered the brute hidden behind a pllo of ruh- bish in the rear of a saloon. The man had not loft the mining village. Preparations for lynching were at once begun and soon completed. in tlio midst of a band of resolute miners the man was naif dragged , half carried to an opening in the woods on the outskirts of the place. The cries of "Kill him ; " "Shoot " "Burn him " " him " him ; ; "Hang , were heard on every side. Hoforo the clearing was reached n rope had already been thrown over a projecting limb. The man was too frightened to articulate , and when tlio respite had expired a hundred hands hauled upon the ropo. In a moment the body was dangling In the air ton foot above the ground , and as the last expiring twinges of his limbs told them that the moment , of death was at hand a score of revolver bul lets were ilred Into the body. There was no attempt at concealment on the Dart of these who took part in the lynch ing and there will bo no attempt to arrest them. Ono of the children assaulted is likely to die.

As George Betihaucr and wife , who reside at Thirty-fifth street and Patrick avenue , were crossing the street railway track at Seventeenth aad Wooster streets about 7 o'clock last evening , their buggy was struck by car Iso. iiO of the Walnut Hill line nnd badly demolished. Both ocxjupants wore thrown to the ground nnd the horse started to runaway. The lady was too ( juick for him , however. Seiz ing him by the bit she managed to hold him until her husband came. She then gave way and it was found that she was badly injured about the back. She was carried to Whltohouso's drug store at Sixteenth and Webster streets , where stio rested until a cab came and took her home , Mr. Benhauor , so far as could bo learned , sustained no personal Injuries.
