The investigation of the charges preferred
ngnlnst C. V. Mos , the newly appointed
clerk nt the police court , was completed last
night. The testimony developed nothing
now or startling and was In line with that
adduced nt the first meeting of the com
mittee. '
C. A. Patterson had known Mos for six or
seven years , and first mot him In the onlco
of the Nebraska nnd Iowa Insurance com
pany , when hoi was at the note desk. It
was stated that Mos had trouble In the
onico over the check entry. Ho had given
the company a mortgage for $100 , and wit
ness understood that It was to cover a shortage -
ago In his accounts with the company. Pat
terson did not remember whether Mos con
tinued hi the employ of the company after
giving the morteago. The witness thought
It. U. Williams could give Information on the
subject.
In reply to a question from Mr. Mos , Pat
tcrson said that all ho knew of the trans
action was from hcrcsay.
Bernard Hlloy , of Uilcy Bros. , said Mos
had been employed by the firm and had
charge of the books and cash. There was
deficits In the sales on throe days , amount
ing to SI0.75 the firat day , * 2.6r the second
nnd $1.60 on the third. Ho watched Mos ,
made the discovery of the shortage , and
Mos was discharged. Witness had
not known of false entries. IIo had
talked with Mosabout selling hU interest to
his brother and witness had told Mos to
close the deal , as ho was ill and unable to
attend to it. Mos had stated that the wit
ness' brothers were attempting to do him up
on the deal.
About u Cnnli Item.
Michael Corcoran , who succeeded Moa as
bookkeeper for Kiloy Hros. , was there the
day Mos bad left the employ of the firm. On
that occasion an item of § 2. ) was taken from
the cash drawer by Andy Ulley , who said
ho had placed it , in the safe. Moa proved
in blaclrand whlto that Riley had not placed
the money In the safe , as there was not that
much thero. IIo had charge of the cash
drawer and it was the practice for members
of the tirm to take mohoy nnd charge It as
expenses in some cases and in others no
charge was mado. Witness told of a trans
action by which ho said ho was asked by
Andrew lliley to make a false entry in the
hooka with the Intention of defrauding Ber
nard litloy , a member of the firm. Corcoran
refused and left the employ of the firm yes
terday morning.
F. W. Simpson had been acquainted with
Mos six or seven years In a business way and
had always found him honest and truthful.
J. M. Miller , weighmastcr at the Omaha
elevator , and a neighbor , testified as to Mr.
Mos' good character , and in business had
always found him honorable and honest.
Nathan Stevens , a real estate aoalor , had
known Mos for slxycrrslna business and
social way and had always found him
straightforward and upright.
J. W. Atkinson had known Mos for thrco
years in a business way and testified as to
his good character.
- -s Ills Own Version.
Mr. Mos explained how ho came to give
the 8100 mortgage to the Nebraska and Iowa
Insurance company. He was employed by
Hart for the company in December , 18SG , and
continued in the service until about the 1st
of Juno the year following. His salary was
fixed at $7. ) the first month. Before the
month had expired ho received a proposition
from C. E. Mayno to enter his cmnloy at a
salary of J,000 per year. Ho told HaVt of
this fact and Hart agreed to pay him a
salary of $100 per month and an addi
tional $200 quarterly. Ho succeeded
the brother of Mr. Patterson who
had testified as to the mortgage , and
since that tlmo bitter feelimr had
existed between them. Ho was in charge of
the books and collections ami no restraints
were imposed by Hart. No objection was
raised to his overdrawing his account , which
ho did to the extent of S17.J. Hart b.id sold
him a horse and buggy for $175 on tlmo.
About this time ho was called Into Hart's
ofllco and requested to prepare doctored
sworn statements of the condition of the !
concern ono for the public , another for the !
stockholders and the third for the )
use of the manager. This ho re
fused to do , and then commenced a
series of persecutions. Hart denied the IJ
1 $ ; agreement whereby ha was to receive tlio
f 200 quarterly. Ho was almost a stranger in
the city , with no friends to stand by him and 1
oppose such a powerful adversary ns Hart ,
and ho was forced to give the ? 400 mortgage
to secure the payment of the ? 175 ho had
overdrawn nnd for the horse and buggy. Ho
remained in the employ of the company a
few days and then loft. Later the mortgage
and note were returned to him by the 3D
management succeeding Hart , and ho did 1
not pay n cent upon it nnd had 1
never been requested to. Mos said ho had
refused to nssist In the work of defrauding
und that was why hnvas persecuted as ho
was. Ho produced the original r.oto and
mortgage and his dairy showing the amounts
ho received from the company and what ho
waa entitled to.
When asked regarding the statements
made by Bernard Kiloy , Mos said he waa not
In the store much of the time on
the thrco days mentioned , but was
O'ut looking ufter collections.
* Ho was then permitted to address thecom-
mlttce in his own behalf. He referred to the
fact that not one of C. M. Schneider's former
partners were present to substantiate bis
statements. Ho auld ho had always been
lioncst and honorable , and it was because
ho had refused to assist in shady trans
actions that ho was persecuted in this man-
uor.

8 o'clock to roach an agreement and prepare

Nnw VOIIK , Juno B. The Spanish princess
nnd snlto left this morning for Chicago. The
party was escorted from the hotel to the
ferry By a battalion of the United States
signal corps , Mayor Gllroy nnd the reception
committee. A special steamer convoyed
them to Jersey City , vrhoro they took a spe
cial train on the Pennsylvania road ,
ALTOONA , ' Pa. , Juno 5. The train arrived
nt Harrlsburg at 5 o'clock. Whllo cnfilnos
were bctiiR changed , n crowd of several hun
dred people surrounded the train and
cheered for the Infanta until she appeared
nt the window. She loaned out , bowing nnd
smiling at the people , whllo they cheered
her. Just hoforo the train started she np-
pearcd on the rear platform nnd there was
rcnowod cheering.
Wlcn : she expressed n doslro for Spanish
cigarettes , she was told that some would ho
ordered at once nnd put on the train nt the
next stopping placo. At Harrliburg , the
Spanish cigarettes were ready for her and
she smoked sovorul of them with unfeigned
pleasure.
Ono of the most wldo nwaho members of
the princess' party is the coloml boy Altnnro
Sargasso , who was discovered on hoard the
Spanish man-of-war Infanta Isabella , when
It sailed with the infanta from Havana ,
Cuba , and whom the infanta has adopted ns
a servant. At Now York ho was fitted out
xv 1th a uniform of blue with brass buttons
nnd n cap bearing her coat of arms. When
nskod how long ho will remain with the
princess Altnaro said : ' 'Until Idle. "
As the train entered the mountains the
Infanta expressed desire to ride on the
locomotive. The engineer was notified , and
preparations were < iulckly made to give the
princess a now experience. At Mount
Union , eighty-sis miles west of Harrlsburn ,
the princess , with the prince. Commander
Davis and Mr. Parlco. climbed up into the
cab and stood on the loft side. The prince
stood close by her side. Engineer Ulllng-
ton touched the throttle , nnd old 1.3TU
started off. Faster and faster How
the train. The fireman's arm moved
and the whistle shrieked three times as
it rattled past a town. Then something
loomed up ahead and a train going at full
speed in the opposite direction passed. The
princess ducked her head and put up ono
hand to cover ono ear , while she clung still
tighter to the arm of the prince with the
other.
The train was doing better than a mtlo n
minute. The princess held on and scorned to
enjoy the sensation.
At Huntingdon the train was stopped and
the princess climbed down , after having rid
den twelve miles in twelve minutes. When
this excitement was over dinner was served ,
for it was 7 o'clock. The train arrived at
Altoona at 8 p. in. A stop of flvo minutes
was made to change engines , and then the
train went on.

strained to reverao their ruling and place a
different construction upon the net.
Their Word KionerAtm Thorn.
"H is In evidence that no Itemized account
of their expenses was over lllcd with the
board or submitted to the legislature , but
each of the respondents and the warden tes
tify that the money was nil expended for
traveling expenses and other necessary costs
of the trip , ana that in addition to
the KQO used for that purpose
each expended from $15 to $40 of
hia prlvato funds. According to tholr testi
mony. they were absent about two weeks ;
that the threes respondents had free trans
portation from Lincoln to St. Louis and from
Chicago to Linoln and that the warden rode
on n pass from Chicago to Lincoln. Wo are
on thli ovldonco alone asked to find that
tholr legitimate expenses were less than
$ T)00 , and draw the Inference that they con
verted n part of thatamonnt In other words
that they are guilty of embezzlement. It
should bo re mo in bo rod In tht > first place that
this is a criminal prosecution , and wo are
not to cntor upon the Hold of conjecture In
search of a theory upon which the respon
dents may bo pronounced srullty. Second ,
they are not contradicted by any cwldenco
whatever ; they were not oven subjected to a
cross-examination regarding the items ox-
pcndcd.
"Wo must not bo understood as holding
that upon nn accounting they may not bo
chargonblo with a part or all the $500 in
question , but n finding of willful conversion
in this case must rest upon suspicion ntono ,
or at most a mcro probability , and upon evi
dence insuftlclcnt to support a verdict In
civil action.
Siuio on the ClinplalnVi Trip.
"Substantially the aamo reason is ap
plicable to the charge contained in this next
specification , viz. , the allowance of S200 out
of the cell house fund to defray expenses of
tlio chaplain and warden of the peni
tentiary ns delegates to the prison
congress nt Pittsburg. Ill our opinion
that expenditure was outside of the
scope of the authority of the board ,
and they are llablo to thu state for the
money so advanced. In other words , they
cannot , as to that amount , claim Immunity
on the ground that their action was in its
nature Judicial. Such act , however , falls far
short of a misdemeanor in office. They acted
from motives of humanity , without thought
or possibility of gain or advantage to them
selves , which is alone a suflleient dofenso. "

Going into a discussion of the stealing at
the asylum , tho. Judges find that the state
was shamefully defrauded In the matter of
overcharges on coal and flour , but that the
board was unable to detect the fraud , owing
o Its dependence on the superintend-
jnt , who was considered a man of strlct-
jst probity and honor. Further than this ,
ho fact that the legislature passed a defi
ciency appropriation to make up the deficit
caused by these overcharges amounted to an
endorsement by that body of the bills as
rendered to and passed upon by the Board
of Public Lands ana Buildings , and there
fore acts ns complete exoneration of the
members of the board in this connection.
In conclusion , the Judges cite the lack of
precedent , and go on to say that impoach-
nent is less and less sought as a remedy for
, ho acts charged against the I'espondonts.
England furnishes the only precedents , and
n that country the use of impeachment has
'alien Into such disuse as to be almost obso-
ete.
JUDOE MAXWELL DISSENTS.
Opinion of thn Chief Justice Sabtalnlug Ills
Ucolalon of Conviction.
LINCOLN , Neb. , June 5. [ Special Telegram
to THE BBE. | Besides dissenting to the
hidings of Judges Post and Norval , Chief
Justice Maxwell filed an opinion of his own
n which ho hold as follows :
"That there were frauds in flour contracts
there is no doubt , but the extent of such
frauds it is difficult to determine. Thus in
January and E ebruary , 1892 , the flour was
weighed , It is claimed , and the only record
preserved was the stubs of weigh" checks ,
and. thoy. are lost. There Is also proof that
the drayman was in the habit of leaving a
number of sacks of flour at a designated place
on the way to the asylum. The charges
under this head are fully sustained.
"It appears that whllo Dorgan was pos
sessed of the money In question ho , at the
request of the respondents , paid to Hopkins
§ 200 to enable him and Elder Howe to visit
the prison congress at Pittsburg , Pa. Soon
afterward the board received from him $500
of the money belonging to the state to
enable them to choose the best colls. This
was charged to the cell house fund. Those
appropriations are justified upon the ground
that the state would bo benefited thereby
and that therefore It was a proper expendi
ture. Section 23 , article ill ot the constitu
tion , provides : 'No allowance shall be nmdo
for the incidental expenses of any
state ofllcor , except the aamo bo
made by general appropriation and on
account specifying each item. No money shall
be drawn from the treasury except In pursu
ance of a specific appropriation , made for any
purpose , or taken from any fund whatever ,
either by Joint or separate resolution. The
auditor shall within sixty days after the ad
journment of each session of the legislature
prepare and publish a full statement of all
moneys expended. At such session , specify
ing the amount of each item and to whom
and for what paid. '
Dlirrcarilod 1'laln Lavr.
"This provision declares that no money
shall be drawn from the treasury except In
pursuance of a specific appropriation made
by law , and on presentation of a warrant
issued by the auditor thoroon. The legisla
ture makes appropriations. It is for it , com
posed as it is of the representatives of the
people , to say what is for the Interest of the
state , and to require the cxuendlturo of
money. Unless it grants the author
ity there is nono. If an oflicer era
a number of them can take $1 without an
appropriation , and bo justified in doing so ,
ho or they may take all that there is in the
treasury , if in their view the state will bo
benefited thereby. Money taken without an
appropriation is taken not only without law ,
but in doilanco of it , and if the principle is
once established , it would load to gross
frauds and peculations.
As Applied to Itunliicsi.
"Suppose trustees having the care of prop
erty and receiving the rents and profits
should desire to visit distant points to enable
them to administer the estate with wisdom
and prudence and thereby benefit It. Could
they charge this expense upon the owner or
benellciarios without tholr consent , lawfully
expressed No more can they do so in this
instance. . The state , through Us legislature ,
must give its assent to expenditure. Other
wise the party must pay It out of his
own pocket. No voucher was filed
with any otllcor showing the amount ex
pended ; nor any attempt to comply with the
law. In addition to this , the cell bouse is
not ready for the cells oven now. Therefore
there Is no emergency. But under no view
of the case can the expenditure bo justified ,
and the fact that in ono or two previous in
stances such expenditures were made ,
which do not scorn to have boon known , but
tends to show the lax methods that seem to
have prevailed with the board wherever the
expenditure of money was concerned.
Homo' I'ecullnr Facts.
"It also appears that the legislature made
an appropriation of $1,000 for the traveling ex
penses of the board , It is true Mr. Allen
testifies that $500 of this sum had been ex
pended. He nlsp testifies that all the mem
bers had passes , so tholr railroad
fare was nothing. So far as ho
stated , the visits to the various state in
stitutions by the board , the expenditures
should not have exceeded 2100 , and proba
bly did not. If the board desired to travel
on ofilclal business , it would acorn that this
was the fund for that purpose ,
"It appears also that Dorgan used t23i to
reset the boilers in the prison , a charge
winch properly belonged to Moaner , and
should have been paid by him.
'In addition to the ordinary provisions In
appropriation bills , that of 18U1 contained
the following :
" 'Section ! l. Each atato officer and each
board entitled to draw against the. appro
priation provided for in this act shall keep
an Itemized account of all expenditures
made by them , and report the same with
vouchers to the lip auto committee of the
next legislature , and no officer of any insti
tution and no atato officer shall Irtourany
lndebtodnoi beyond th
prlatod In this bill ojwopt to1 prevent dis
aster. '
"Tlio testimony shomntbnt the respond ,
cnts mndo no attempt M > comply with those
provisions , The charges' wftro fully sustained.
flroM I'rnmH U' r Committed.
"Tho testimony lernlft \show that gross
frauds were committed In the delivery of
coal at thn Lincoln Asylum for the Insane.
The respondents claim to have been Ignorant
of these frauds until auotit'Soptombor ' , 1803.
It appears that from the 1st day of October ,
1800 , to the 20th day of March ,
18)11 ) , the Wltotiroast Coal and
Llmo company furnished coal for the asylum
and was allowed therefore the sum of 11-
651,05. To cover this claim an appropriation
of $12.000 , or so muchiitheroof as might bo
necessary , was made , and the claim was cer
tified to the auditor by the respondents. The
coal was alleged to have been de
livered on the bars at Asylum
switch , but the number and initials
of the cars on which it was alleged the coal
was delivered nro not Riven in a slntrlo in
stance. Dr. Knnpp testified In effect that lip
did not believe the amount pf coal
charged had boon delivered. His
bookkeeper testified to substantially
the same facts. Neither of them ,
however , communicated their suspicions
to the respondents. Knapp afterward ap
proved the vouchers and they were approved
by the respondents and the warrant issued.
AVm Not tlnntlllcntlnn.
"Tho fact that an appropriation had boon
made to pay for this coal was not an adjudi-
elation of thoclaimas the legislature cannot
adjudicate claims. State vs Babcock , 22 ,
Nob. , 33.
"Tho very largo amount of coal'chnrgod ,
suRlciont to have supplied all the
asylums of the state for the tlmo charged ,
certainly should have put the respondents
upon Inquiry. The reports for coal from
other public institutions were before them
, nd unless fraudulent vouchers were sent in
'roin them also , which there is no claim , a
wmparlson should have shown the fraud.
Xo examination was made , however.
'Tho respondents ' Introduced ovldonco
ending to show that last OctoDor they sub
mitted the whole matter to the grand Jury of
1 .micastor county , and thereby sought to
bring the guilty parties to justice. It is but
"air , however , to state that Governor Boyd
cqucstod them to lay the matter before the
grand Jury , and It Is evident that the
matter had acquired such publicity it could
not bo avoided. On this trial they in olTcct
deny the frauds , or that if such existed they
'iad any notice thereof in any form , and
therefore are not chargeable therewith.
They seem also to exhibit no very friendly
lentlments toward the witnesses by whom
.heso frauds were proved , and certainly no
disposition to aid in procuring proof of the
amo.
No KTCURO for Thorn II ore.
"Some reliance is placed on the approval
ot the asylum officers by the governor in his
message of January , 1801. This , no doubt , is
entitled to considerable weight , but it could
not in any manner excuse the respondents
"roin the exercise of reasonable care in the
examination of the asylum vouchers ,
"n addition to this the land com
missioner i in December , IS'JO , In his
report to the governor which
is in ovldenco , says ( page 88) ) : 'Under the
existing system of furnishing supplies the
appropriation funds are too frequently used
In keeping with that conception of charity
which declares that it "hldeth a multitude
of sins. " Items for luxuries , privileges and
conveniences that are alone enjoyed by the
ofllcials and tholr friends uro too often
cloaked in a claim for ' (4"board and clothing ,
fuel and lights , " or some pne of the other
necessary funds appropriated for mainte
nance of the institution. '
That Overwork J'loa. ,
"It is contended by stho- respondents that
he busmess in their * respective offices has
so increased that it is' impossible- give at
tention to many of the details of business
that como before them and that they are
therefore cxcusablo. ' It is true there is a
large amount of business in each of the of-
Jices named. This is'a' largo and growing
state , nnd business in all departments is
constantly increasing : In the ofllco of the
land commissioner , hpwovbr , there nro ten
clerks and one deputy , ' ' which , with the
principal , makes twelve persons. In the
ofllco of the secretary , of state one
deputy and two ' * clerks , four per
sons In all. In the attorney jen
oral's office , ono deputy and stonog.
rapher. If these officers need additional
assistance , if they will present their claim
to the legislature through the governor , no
doubt the desired increase would be granted.
These facts must bo known to the respond
ents , and as no such application was made ,
it must bo because it was not considered
necessary. The business of the state , how
ever , must bo conducted in a reasonably
prudent and careful manner , otherwise iho
result would bo chaos. Suppose a merchant
or business man should urge the want of
time to look after his business , ana there
fore neglect it , the result would be uncer
tain. No defense of this kind can bo enter
tained.
How They nro Responsible.
"Are these acts grounds for impeachment ?
'All civil officers of this state shall bo liable
to impeachment for any misdemeanor in
office.1 It may bo well to Inquire , first , what
are the duties of public officers ? Each one.
before entering upon hia duties , is required
to take an oath that ho will 'faithfully and
Impartially perform the duties of his office
according to the law and the best of his abil
ity.1 An officer Is bound to exercise
ordinary care , such care as an ordi
narily prudent man would cxorclso in
the management of his own affairs. The
respondents are to quite an extent trustees.
The claim that there was no wilfull dlsro.
gard of law in the penitentiary cell house.
matter , is clearly shown to bo unfounded.
The respondents' duty to the state was in
the first instance to appoint a capable , effi
cient superintendent , who would protect the
rights of the state ; sco that the state re
ceived as fair treatment as other contractors
in the employment of convicts and purchase
of materials , and to exercise a general
supervision over the work ; to permit no
money to bo drawn except on original
vouchers of the persons primarily entitled
to the money or their assignees.
"In all these respects there was a failure
to discharge tholr duty. The claim that
they know nothing about Dorgan is entitled
to no weight whatever. They did know that
ho represented the party who could and
probably would profit by his being superin
tendent. Indeed , the argument that they
were able to biro him cheaper than a disin
terested party is nn admission of his unfitness -
ness , as it shows that ho was drawing full
pay for his services from Moshcr at the same
time , In addition to these facts each allow
ance of an estimate without a voucher was a
violation of a duty by the respondents , by
which they wrongfully and willfully per
mitted Dorgan to draw money from the
treasury.
Not Entitled to Kicmptlon.
' It Is said the respondents acted judicially
in approving accounts , and therefore are not
llablo for their nets. The able attorneys for
the respondents made no'plalm of this kind ,
and therefore it is evident they did not rely
upon it. If , in approving dccounts , they act
Judicially , in order to protect them there are
three things which mijst , concur. First , the
'
claim must bo ono they are'authorized to
audit ; second , It must"be presented in the
form of a bill or voucher showing the debt
and what it Is for , otherwise .tho board
would bo like u judge gassing upon a matter
not before him , suchuis-a-matter not put in
Issue , nnd , third , the statute makes it their
duty to Investigate' ' J every claim.
The protection 'iiaccorded to a
Judoro against m t-private notion
docs not apply when ho is on trial under a
specific charge of impeachment. Even a
judge of thla court could1 not plead pro
tection against sucln ctiatgo. In such case
his conduct nnd general manner of conduct
ing his business may be inquired into , nnd If
he ia found guilty of fnltfojnduct , on any of
the charges , he may bo declared guilty. But
no judicial officer is protected when he ex
ceeds his authority , and these respondents
very clearly in all they are charged
with acted either without authority
of law or In excess of such
authority. But in my view , their duties
are not Judicial. In the proper sense they
do not allow accounts. They merely Investi
gate , or should investigate the vouchers and
the sovorul Items thereof , to see that they
conform to the contract. In other words ,
the duty of the board is to let contracts in a
spocjtlou manner nnd when vouchers are
presented under such contracts , which upon
'
examination are found to' be correct , they
are to certify the same to the auditor. The
certificate ia not a final order from which an
appeal would lie and la not a judicial act.
Tlicr Are Not Protected.
' It wllTnot be seriously contended that
tnfligcer wjio negligently and Improperly
MHU # a fraudulent account which U wa <
bin duty lo Investigate , or who unlawfully
draws money from the treasury Is protected
from the consequences of his net nnd so far
n I am nwaro no case so holds. Proof wan
introduced on behalf nf the respondent1 ! to
show that Dorgan , Knapp nnd others had
given bonds to the state. It Is ovidcnt that
none of these bonds will cover the actual loss
to the state , and even if enforced would
bo an inadequate remedy. But the giving
of the bond by an officer docs not oxcmnt
him from the performance of hia duty , nor
relieve these who superintends his acts ,
from n faithful supervising of the samo.
The law Imposes the duty of supervising
with 'a reasonable degree of caro. ' It seems
to mo the rcspondenta wholly failed In the
porfortnanco of tholr duties in the cases
specified in thcso charges , whereby the
state , during the ten months that Dorgan
was superintendent , lost a largo sum of
money , probably not less than $15,000 , and
$23t for retting the bollors , which was not
a debt of the state , together with the sums
drawn by Hopkins nnd'Howo to go to Pitts
burg and thcso respondents to go to St.
Louis , In all t034.
Hnd Plenty of Clmnces.
"Tho ovorptymonts for coal all In sixteen
months exceed $ l'J,000. An ordinary prudent
man would have required the vouchers to bo
In proper form giving the numbers and
weights of the several cars. There
nro telephones In all the public
buildings , so that It would have taken but a
moment to make the proper inquiries in regard -
gard to the CQal nnd protect the Interests of
the stats. But ao far as the proof shows
such inquiries were not made in n sinclo in
stance. A public officer , llko any other ser
vant , should bo faithful to his employer , to
sco that in all matters under his control the
master shall not bo defrauded. In other
words , ho shall bo faithful to his
trust , not ns an eye servant , but in the sight
of Qod. That is in effect the oath that each
officer takes to faithfully perform his duty.
Our public institutions should bo conducted
on business principles nnd without fear ,
favor or favoritism , and no money should bo
drawn from the treasury except in strict pursuance -
suanco of law.
Would Produce More Kvll.
"If the court should approve or even condone -
done the conduct of the respondents in thcso
cases the influence of the decision will bo
felt in every department of business in
the state ns tending to weaken the
sense of faithfulness of public officers
and employes , nnd in every way prove
detrimental to the best interests of society.
There nro an abundance of men in the stale
who can ana it the opportunity is given by
their selection to the offices filled by the
respondents , will faithfully look after the In
terests of the state and ns the respondents
have failed in that regard , the charges are
well taken and should bo sustained. I there-
fora vote guilty as charged.
"I fear the result of the decision , If ad
hered to , will bo to open a door to the gross
est frauds In the public institutions of the
stato. A number of the witnesses for the
state testified if under constraint and there
seemed to bo powerful influence affecting
some of thorn , aside from the immediate
friends of the respondents at work in their
favor. The respondents , of course , are not
responsible for those influences , but It is my
duty to mention them. "

LIXCOI.X. Nob. , Juno 5. [ Special Telegram

was chief counsel for the state in the im
peachment trial , and Incurred the deadly
political enmity of the respondents and their
friends by his fearless arraignment of their
official acts , was found in his rooms
on H street this evening. In answer to a
query as to his opinion of the verdict , ho
said : "Well , I have not yet read the opinion
of Judge Post , but have glanced over that
submitted by Chief Justice Maxwell , which
seemed to respond to every noint In the
case. In my opinion"and Mr. Lambcrtson
leaned back reflectively in his chair , "tho
verdict of the chief Justice , who has been on
the bench for twenty years , will bo accepted
as the most satisfactory to the people.
"If the supreme court had mdtod in finding
the respondents guilty the influence of such
a verdict would have been most wholesome ,
and the outlook for the success of the repub
lican party would have been brighter than
it is.
is."In
"In any event the trial has been and will
prove of the greatest service to the stato.
It will bring about better buslnessmethods ,
will save the state $40,000 a year and will
give our officials a higher sense of public
duty. "
Very Like a Oeatli Warrant.
Hon. C. D. Casper , the democratic , and
Hon. P. H. Barry , the independent member
of the Impeachment committee , were evi
dently not sure whether they were pleased
or displeased over the verdict.
' It was Just what I expected , " said Mr.
Casper. "When Judges Post and Norval
affixed their names to the decision exonerat
ing the state ofllcials In the face of the ac
cumulation of evidence as to their neglect of
sworn duty they signed the death warrant of
the republican party in Nebraska. This la
not a funeral of my seokinij , and I do not feel
called upon to pronounce an oration over the
corpse. "
Thinks It Will Help tlie Independents.
"Tho verdict , " said Captain Barry
"means the defeat of the republican party at
the next election. It Is partisan , biased and
apparently a forced argument In behalf of
the respondents. So far as I can Judge from
what 1 hear it means also an overwhelming
victory for the independents next fall. The
people have road the evidence in the case ,
and their verdict will bo handed In then. "
Governor Crounso and Auditor Moore
were in close conversation in the Hotel Lin

emptorily : "O , I don't care to express
my views on that subject , I bellovo I
prefer to let each citizen form his own
conclusions. I wouH rather bo quoted as

"You will understand , " added Auditor
Moore , "that co-ordinate officers prefer to

which sent the ex-ofllcials out of barm's way.
In substance U Is as follows :
' The constitution of this state confers the

power to others. Whore the legislature has

The opinion Is by Judge Norval nnd Is concurred

"Not having rend the decision of the
majority of the court , nor the dissenting
opinion of Judge Maxwell , " said Matt dcr-
Ing of Plattsmouth to n Bni ? reporter at the
Paxton last evening , "I do not fool compe
tent to express a rational opinion upon the
matter , although the dissenting opinion
seems to confirm the so-called ] > oltical ! state
ments made by Mr. Morton nnd myself dur
ing the last campaign. 1 think the decision
hardly comes up to the expectations of the
people ; yet , it is a very serious thing to de
prive men of the right to hold ofllco bccausn
of negligence of others. "
"What Is the outlooK on the United States

"Thoro nro five of us who are candidates
for the position. I feel hopeful , as I sumwsu
all of the candidates do. I think the up-
iwlntmcnt will depend upon the consent of
Secretary Morton , whoso wishes will decide
the choice of the administration. Both Mr ,
Maboney nnd Judge Ogden nro admirably
fitted for the place. If I am not snleotcd for
it , 1 shall not feel in the least disgruntled ,
because I know that Mr. Morton's Idea is the
unification of the party , and nn appointment
made with that end In view will provo gra'tt-
fylng to every member of the democracy. No
ono can now predict who will bo the success

of Mr. Baker's term in January. "

"What do you think of it ? "
"Well , usually 1 have enough to do to look

is every citizen's business. The verdict is
going to help the democratic party. Every
