regularities about tlio asylum. "
Dlil you nt that tlmo knowot any Irregu
larities nt the. asylum I"
"No. sir ; I Old not. "
"In 1891 did you have under your charge
the construction of any public building ! "
' Yes therewcro . "
, sir ; - wcro seven.
' Were they all under the management of
the board ! "
"Yes , sir : they were.
"How did the board como to employ a su
perintendent at the cell house ! "
"It was Impossible for the board to super
intend the construction of nil of the build-
Ings. "
"How did you como to employ Dorgant"
About Dorcnn'n Hinplojincnt.
"Ho was rccommondcd and wo considered
him an nonest , faithful and competent bust-
ness man , having hml cxpcrionco In ronv ct
-work ; after wo employed Dortfan we In-
slructod him to secure plans and details for
the cell liotiso. "
"Wcro these plans approved by .you ! "
"Yes , nlr ; they were. "
"How did you como to nllow Dot-gun * 0,100
without his presenting vouchers ! "
"Under the MO.OOO appropriation the cell
lionso was to.bo done by day's work , and it
was necessary for him to h ! vo the cash to
pay the men and settle with the parties ho
dealt with. "
"Before this did you requlro a bond from
him ! "
"Yes , sir : a bond of $10,000 , , which was In
our hands. "
"Did the board examine his vouchers be
fore ho wus allowed any more money ! "
"Yes sir. "
"Why did you advance the $8,000 to Dor-
gani"
"For the same reason that wo advanced
the 10.100. "
"What Information did you have as to the
debts Incurred ! "
"Tho estimates of the superintendent. "
'When you made these allowances to Dor-
gnn , were you informed that that practice
prevailed In other cities ! "
Air. Ijambertson objected for the reason
that It made no difference what was done In
other cities.
The ruling of the court was reserved.
"What did you do with reference to exam
ining the tlmo keeper's books ? "
"In August , IbUt , I looked over the books
to satisfy in j self as to how the time was
kept. "
"Did jou examine the work ? "
"I did. "
"How did you happen to discharge Dorgan
and employ Hopkins ! "
"In March , Ib'JJ , vto heard that Dorgan
had succeeded Mo.shor as prison contractor ,
nnd we asked for his resignation. "
"About that tinio did you check over
Dorian's statements ! "
"Yes , sir ; everything ho had with re
latlon to tin ! expenditure of money ; I found
ono or two little errors. "
"In the fall of 181)1 ) did you check his nc
counts ! "
"I had been through them several times. "
"How old you llml them ! "
"I found an overcharge of $ .13 on freight ,
but aside from that they were correct. The
reason wo never settled with Dorgau wan
that when Hopkins went in wo thought
that the building would soon bo completed ,
nnd then we would m.iko one scttlumiMit defer
for all. Slnco that tlmo wo have held the
matter in abeyance awaiting the outcome of
the investigation.1
' The purpose then has been to loolc after
the welfare of the state ! "
"Yes , sir. "
"Why have you withheld payment from
Dorgan ! "
' On account of n rumor that men wcro
laid oil nnd at the same time they were
charged against the state. "
Explaining ; that Junket.
"About the charge of the mfsappiopriatiot
of500 ! "
"It was told us that in the early -spring
the cell house would bo ready to re
I'jpjvo the cells , and Mr. Hopkins said "
* "It don't nuvko any difference what Hop
kins said , " suggested Mr. Lnmbcrtson.
Mr. Webster thought that it was proper
to know what Hopkins tolu the witness
about the advisability of adopting different
sanitary measures. < ' - 0
"If these men did not know what
needed , " retorted Judpo Doano , "then the
situation is worse than I supposed ; " ' <
"At that tlmo had the board boon visltci :
by agents who represented different eel
manufacturers ! "
"Yes , sir ; new and Improved kinds of
cells and ucw plans of sanitation had como
Into use. "
"You may state who wcro the persons on
the tour of inspection ! " *
"Tho secretary of state , the attorney general
oral , the warden and myself ; wo went to in
Bpcct the construction of cell houses and
their sanitary conditions , nnd wo , gained
some information. "
"Did you complete arrangements to have
the details of these improvements retuined
to the board ! "
"Yes , sir ; they wore. "
"How much of that $ T > 00 did you receive !
"Ono hundred and twenty-five dollars. "
"How much of your own money did yox
expend ! "
"Ono hundred and forty dollars , and fo
this I have never been reimbursed by the
atnto. "
"Mr. Humphrey , you may state to the
court If you acted in good faith in visiting
these institutions , and expending the
money ! "
Mr. Lambertson objected.
Judge Norval said that the testimony
would be admitted nnj its weight would bo
considered.
"Of coursol dld"ans\vered Mr. Humphrey.
"How did jou happen to give Mr. Hopkins
$200 to go to the prison congress ! "
"It had been a custom to pay the expenses
of wardens to the prison congresses. "
"I have something more to ask , " remarked
Mr , Webster.

"You are of the opinion that it was im
possible to Imvo built thu cell hoiibo without
u superlntcndontt"
"Wo hud them on ulj of the buildings. "
"You employed Dorgan because ho was n
good business man ! "
"I regarded him us a thorough business
man. "
"Has It been the custom to place a man
over buildings who kuovr nothing about
buildings ? "
"Not usually , ' '
H. * < * >
"Do j-ou know If Dorgan over built n
building' '
"I don't know "
"Who recommended Dot-cant"
"Hopkins. "
' Then Hopkins recommended Dorgan nnd
Dorgnn recommended Hopkins t"
"It's not o. "
"So far as you know. Dorian was Incom
petent for this work ! "
"No , air ; ho was not ; he know nbout prison
details. "
"Do you think ho should know nbout
prison details In order to build A cell house ! "
"I thought so. "
"Was the fact that you could got him for
K 0 per month taken Into consideration ! "
"Yes , I think so ; wo took into considera
tion that he was a good business man. "
"Dla you know that Dorgan was the agent
orMoshcrl"
"I can't say ; nut I know now , "
"You knew that Dorgan was the general
innagcr of the company t"
"Yes. sir. "
"Did you know that prison labor was to bo
mployodl'1
"Wo talked It over with the warden , but
Id not decide until In Juno , some time after
ho building was commenced. "
"Do j-ou not know that convict labor was
imnloycd In May I"
"Yes , sir. "
"Did you not think that It was highly lm-
iroper to employ the agent of the contractor
o represent the state ? "
"No , sir. "
"Don't you think It was Improper for j-ou
o have leased the labor from Moshcr and
limed the money over to Dorgan to bo paid
o Moslier before anj * labor was performed ! "
"No. sir.1'
"Did j-ou Instruct Dorgan to pay | l per
lay for convict labor ? "
"When his estimate came In In Juno wo
.ullccd . It over nnd agreed to pay $1 per Cay. "
Why Monnjr AVus Advanced.
"Was there anj' voucher for labor perc
'ormcd at the tlmo the $11,100 was paid ? "
"No , sir ; wo understood that Dorgan had
ordered material and that there had been
iibor performed. When the warrant was
drawn part of the material had been ori
derod. "
"How did you know that ? "
' 'By what tlio superintendent told us , and
from what wo saw when we visited the cell
nouso. "
What is the date of the first warrant to
Dorgan ? ' '
"About .Tune ! > , 181)1. ) "
"Tho llrst report was not made until
August ? "
"That may bo. "
' Hero Is a report made two months after
the inonoj * was advanced and it onlj' shows
$5r > : ! 0 expended. How do account for that ? "
'There vtas material on the ground and
labor performed ? "
"Yes. but on the same day you got this re
port you gave him another voucher for
$3,000 ; what about that ? "
"He stated that there was material to bo
paid for. "
"Did you know about It , oxcent from his
reportJ"
fl did not. "
"This report shows that ho had $ T > 00 on
hand ; now , why did you pay him 1,3,000
more ! "
' There was material on the ground , the
cost of work and material In the building. "
"When did .you get the next report ? "
"What report do you mean , the Dorgan re
port ? "
"Yes , sir ; nnd will j-ou tell mo how much
was expended ! "
Mr. Webster objected.
Justice Maxwell held that the reports
wcro In evidence and could bo considered.
"Tho estimate shows that ho was paid on
the third estimate ; statement No. licamo in
before the second wan-ant was drawn. "
"Did the reports show the checks for
labor ? "
"I saw them. "
"When did you see the checks of Dorgan ! '
"I can't say. "
' What did you do with those checks ? "
"Wo turned them over to Dorgan. "
"Theso estimates were to cover work
previously done ? "
"Thoy wore , provided the previous esti
mate had not been paid out. "
"At the time the second estimate of $8,000
for Julj' was made. Dorgan had $500 in cash
on , hand ? "
"Yes , but this estimate was to cover ma
terial on hand and the expense of putting It
into the wall. "
"Did you verify It by going down and see
ing what material there was on hand ? "
"I can't say as I did. "
"You simply took his certificate ? "
"I can't say that 1 did , or that Icdld not :
some of us wcro going back and forth and
wo know what was being done. "
"Hero is n blank estimate for § J,000 , what
is that for ! "
"Why , It was for labor. "
"Can you remember who worked nt the
cell house ! "
" 1 remember Conrad Viosler. "
"Die1 you inquire of any ono about the
value of the stone ? "
Unlug Into DctllllJ.
"Yes , sir ; I talked with Hopkins , and ho
thougl t the price paid was reasonable. "
"About that CM , who did you got It
from ! "
"Mr. Allen gave me the $125 which Iliad. "
"Did j-ou make anj' report of j'our expen
diture on this trip ! "
"No , sir. "
"Did you report the expenditure to the
legislature ? "
7-No. sir. "
"Did j-ou keep an itcml/ed account of j-our
expenditures ? "
"No. sir. "
"Why did j-on not take this money out of
the appropriation for traveling expenses t"
"I don't ' know. "
"Does not the commissioner have 81,000
.sot apart for his traveling expenses and docs
not the board have another (1,000 set apart
for thq same purpose ? "
"I guess thorn is such n law. "
'Was that appropriation exhausted when
jou made that trip ! "
"I don't know. "
"You went nt the request of the warden ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Did you over make any report ? "
"I can't that weald '
say , except tho'data
there is now In our possession. "
"Did you ever tell Dorgan what cells you
would put in ! "
"No. sir. "
"Whoso duty was It to put in those cells ? "
"It was tnu duty of the prison contractor
to put In eighty culls , I think , ' "
"Donran returned vouchers , and was paid
for stuff after ho resigned ; was that over
discussed by the board i"
"I think not. "
"For coal you blgn the voucher upon the
ccrtltlcato of the superintendent of the Hos
pital for the Insane ; "
"That Is true. "
"Woro there any corrections made on the
coal voucher of July 0,1SU11"
"Thero do not appear to bo nnj' . "
"What evidence has the board that the
coal wus delivered ? "
"Tho oertlllcato of the superintendent. "
"In that trim with reference to all other
vouchers ( "
"Without there Is something to challenge
our attention ; I do not remember that wo
over doubted the word of the superin
tendents , "
"As to these vouchers , are the car numbers
given ? " *
"I think not. "
"Dhl It over occur to j-ou that the car
numbers should show on thu vouchers ? "
"No , air ; it did not ; 1 never thought of
that. "
"In March , 18'X , did not the board instruct -
struct Mr. Hopkins to malio n settlement
with Mr. Dorgaul"
"Yes , sir , "
"Has , that settlement been made ? "
"I can't say now , "
lljil I.ittlo to Do with ItuHlok.
"Havo you any remembrance of talking
with Uowlck about how this asylum matter
should bo 8ottlc.il up ! "
" 1 was In tin onico where I heard some
talking , but 1 did not take a part. "
'Dpn't the law require the publicInstltu. .
tlons to make complete- reports to you every
thrco mouths' ! "
" 1 think so , "
"Do thoydo thatl"
" 1 can't say now. "
"Did not Jdr , Howlclt tell you that there
was stealing going on ut the asylunif"
"No , sir ; ho did not. "
"Did you not testify be f uro the legislative
committee that the members of the board
were so busy that | uoy could not give the
proper attention to these Institutions ! "
"No. air ; I did not. "
"Did you not testify that j-our duties were
so numerous that you did not have tlino to
give proper attention to the asylum vouchers -
ers ! "
"No , sir ; I did not , but I I moan to say
that if we went Into detail wo could not go
through these vouchers. Wo ha\o glvou
such attention as wo could , nnd I call that
proper attention. "
"You think nil that an nccountlntf oniccr
Is required to do Is to act upon the vouchers
of the superintendent ot nn Institution ! "
"I think that when wo have computed and
mndo the extensions , that Is all that wo are
required to do ; that Is the customary rulo. "
"Did the board make n contract for the
cell house plans In detail ? "
"I think so , nnd 1 think the price to bo
paid was $32V
"Did you over see the plans before Dorgan
was employed ! "
"No , sir ; for they wcro not made until
after ho wont on to the cell houso. "
"Woro these plans over submitted to the
board ! "
"Thoy wcro approved , but I don't remem
ber that they wore over submitted to the
board. "
"Where did you see the plans first ? "
"They wore In my onico , 1 think. "

man , owner ot the Exchange bank of Nor
mal , which failed to open Its doors last Tues
day morning , was locked up In the county
Jail today. Five complaints wore sworn out
and warrants served upon , him yesterday
UIKMI charges of embezzlement. Ho was
tried for each charge and nut under bonds
suitable for each. This morning n depositor
who placed $1,000 in the bank on the 10th
Inst. caused the arrest , Schtirman , feeling
the disposition on part ot - his creditors to
kcop arresting him until his bonds gave out ,
refused to accept n bond In this case , and
was taken to Jail. After his friends pleaded
with him , ho accepted ball , and late this
afternoon was released. Most of the deposi
tors have agreed to accept ! > 0 cents on the
dollar. The statement of assets rendered In
the assignment fixes the assets nt $53,000 ,
while the liabilities are between $90,000 and
flOO.OOO.
The persecution of Schurman by the de
positors is turning public sympathy in his
direction , Schurmnn's condition Is duo to
the fact that ho was running the bank with
no capital.
