Richmcmu Case the Center of Attraction

COURT RULES AGAINST TH- DEFENDANT
WltneMcg Testify to Some Irrrgulir Work
on Itlcliiiioiid's Part Ccrllllciitci of
Htoik tinned Mild Cancelled
VUtlitiut .Authority.
W. S. nichmonu of the Union Building and
Savings asaocldtlon entered the federal court
vcsterday morning without the largo dla
mends which were so Important a part of
his makeup on the opening day ot the trial.
The entire day was taken up with tha Intro
duction of evidence , the most Interesting
being that of J. T. Illlck , ono of the three
stockholders who brought Richmond's term
of olllce to nn abrupt clore and had the busi
ness of the association put Into the hands of
the receiver.
District Attorney Tullen asked him to pro
duce a ccitlficate of stock belonging to Mrs.
Mary n. Uhocles of Burlington and to testify
to an examination made by him regarding
the clock. An objection to this testimony
brought on a sharp discussion between the
attorneys and the court. Mr. Fullcn said he
expected to show that Richmond , without
Mrs. Rhodes' authority , had entered upon the
books of the association her withdrawal and
represented to the association that he had
sent ,1 Chicago draft to Mr' . Rhodes for the
amount coming to her , but In fact turned
the draft over to his mother , Tis. L. M
Richmond , who emlorbsd the draft.
Attorney Prouty for the defense contended
that thli sort of evidence would not be ad
missible , because even If It should be proved
that Richmond had done all he was charged
with doing It would not constitute a "scheme
to defraud" within the meaning of the slat
ute A "scheme to defraud" Implied some
thing broad , not mere ) } the making of false
pretends to deceive an Individual Where a
bink had been organized a good while and
for vnae reason or other Its credit had be
come Impaired the caviller would be amenabla
to the Plate KVT , not to the government , If
lie should wHtc a letter to some one to worli
up further business.
Judge Shlrag , however , held that a scheme
might be devised to defraud an Individua
as well as the public generally The United
Slates had parsed the law regulating the use
of the malls for the purpobe of preventing
people from using the malls to violate the
state lawn , ami the court must know whether
ihese state laws had been violated before 1
could be detei mined whether the Unite
States laws had been violated. So Illlck' :
tesllmony went In.
Illlck further related that In looking over
the books he learned that Mrs. Rhodes had
never surrendered her stock , and that th
draft had never been paid at an > bank In
DCS Molncs , and about five or six weeks ago
he called Richmond's attention to the fact
and asked him for an explanation Richmond
mend was unable to explain at the time , but
said ho would look It up and let him know.
This he had never done.
He also learned that J. K. Smith of Bur
lington had sold eighty acres of land In
Guthrle county to Richmond and had re
ceived In payment an $ SOO certificate of stock.
Illlck was unable to find from the books
that this certificate had ever been paid for.
Ho called on Richmond for an explanation ,
but failed , as In the first Instance , to learn
anything satisfactory
In the afternoon Mrs. Rhodes was put
upon the stand and corroborated Illlck's
statements , saying that she had given no
notice of withdrawal and received no money
from the association She did not authorize
the signature of the name of L. M. Richmond
mend to the draft , and never had It In her
possession.
0 U. Owens , formerly president of the as
sociation , and Joseph A. linrnhlll , formerly
secretary , told substantially the same story.
The condition ot the company demanded a
statement to the stockholders , and the latter
were clamoring for It. D. A. Poorman was
therefore called In and Instructed to go
through the books Richmond objected to so
much circ being taken as Owens and liarn-
hlll thought were necessary , and when they
insisted he demanded their resignations ,
which were soon forthcoming. Richmond
seemed to have some sort of hypnotic In
fluence over them ; why It was they could
not say , but they only knew that they sought
to avoid trouble and handed In their resig
nations , as they were asked to do , Richmond
mend then got himself appointed secretary
and Instructed Poormnn to merely make out
a balance sheet , instead of going through
the books and make a thorough checking up ,
and Poorman obeyed his instructions , Poor
man was also put upon the stand and cor
roborated these statements
The evidence Introduced by the govern
ment today Is likely to be Interesting , from
the fact that William W Wilcoxen , the re
ceiver , and R. H. Lyman , his book-keeper ,
are to bo put upon the stand Thev have
made a thorough examination of the associa
tion's books and are well posted In Its affairs.

the Amount of Money llrought Over.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 1. A state
ment has been prepared at the Bureau of
Immigration which shows the number of
Immigrants which arrived In the United
States for the nine months ending March 31 ,
In each of the last three years to have been
as follows1893 , 259.GGO ; 1894 , 218,648 ; 1895 ,
140,980. The amount of money brought In by
Immigrants during the past nine months
was $2,395,846. Although this amount was
known to have been brought , It Is believed
that the money secreted and undiscovered by
the officials may have been several times that
amount. Of the arrivals during the last nine
months , 21,504 came from Ireland ; 21,100
from Germany ; 19,160 from Russia proper ,
16,125 from Italy and 1C.11G from England ,
Of those debarred from landing 1,071 were
paupers , or likely to become bo ; eleven were
shown to have been convicts , and 853 con
tract laborers. Of those landed , 19,602 could
neither read nor write. Of those who
brought money , Germany heads the list with
$551,884 ; Irish Immigrants brought $317,501 ;
England comes next with $291,818 ; Italians ,
$790,012 , Swedes , $138,412 ; Husslans , $141,341

THE TASK OX
Karopmn Government * Will Not lla Allowed
to Co llrct I'rlTnto Lcbt * by Tnrce.
WASHINGTON , May 1. Although the
State department has sanctioned tlic princi
ple of the right ot an European nation to col
lect an Indemnity for a national Intuit offered
to It by an American nation , or to secure
redress for the abuse or 111 treatment of Its
citizens and Infringement ot their property
rights , It can safely be predicted It will not
under any clrcumitances permit nny Euro
pean government to attempt by the display
of force to collect moneys owing by the South
or Central American states to Individual * on
account of moneys loaned. In 1881 Secretary
Illalne wrote to United States Minister Noyca
at Paris , at a time when the French govern
ment was about to undertake a demonstration
against Venezuela to force that country to
meet payments to French bondholders on ac
count of the national debt , that the United
States woulil 'regard with graveanxKy
any attempt on the part ot Franco to force
by hostile pressure the payment by Venezuela
of her debt to French citizens , and cvin before
this the doctrine had bsen well established ;
notwithstanding the pre sure that was brought
to bear by the great financial centers of
Europe to have their governments under
take' the collection of debts owing to them
Thtrefore there Is no ground for apprehen
sion of a forcible attempt by the British to
collect debts owing by Honduras to llrltlih
bondholders on account of a government
loan , and this Fame doctrine may be at this
time of great comfort to many of the small
republics of this hemisphere that have been
obliged by the stress of hard times and revo
lutions to default In the pijment of the Inter
est and principal of their national debts.
The position taken by the State department
Is that there Is no rule of International law
authorizing the use of force to collect Indi
vidual debts , and that persons who take
bonds Issued on account of the national debts
of an American republic must take the
chances of thMr collection In the ordinary
way , putting themselves on a footing of the
Inhabitants of the country borrowing the
money.

IJureiiu Chief * Submit t'lvo Reports on the
WASHINGTON , May , 1. For the first
tlmo In Its history the Board of Naval Bu
reau Chiefs have come to an absolute dis
agreement nnd have been obliged so to report
to Secretary Herbert , leaving him to de
termine which side Is right. The disagree
ment grows out of the designs for the six
new gunboats for which plans were pre
pared by the construction bureau. There are
two reports on the subject , one signed by
four members of the board , totally disapprov
ing of the plans , and ono signed by two
numbers , vigorously upholding them. The
four members objected that the boats pro
posed will draw fourteen feet of water , and
so would not meet the requirements of the
act of congress , which descrlb's them as
light draught gunboats It Is held that the
fitting of the vessels with a complete full
sail power Is a mistake , as the experience of
the department with such vessels as the
, Adams shows that no steamer fitted with
sails can beat against the wind and there
fore the- sails will bo almost useless In aver
age conditions. On the other hand , the sup
porters of the plans undertake to damon-
strate that the vessels will be efficient and
very much more economical than boats with
out sails , arguing that criticism Is founded
on vessMs not given full sail power , and giv
ing figures to support their assertions.

In the meantime. The name of Ucv. W.
H. Wise of Lafajettc , Ind. , was suggested

imously and arc as follows :
Whereas , The Ilcv. Dr Joseph T. Dtirvpi ,

loved pastor of this church and socletj , has
long been restrained by Illness and consequent
quent absence from performing his pastoral
duties and from giving to his people here
the spiritual old and encouragement which
are es cntial to the people of a church ; and
Whereas , It having become clear to Ir
Duryea that he would not bo able for sonic
tlmo to como to resume the arduous duties
of his Omalin pnstorate , he has felt Impelled
to ask , In justice to himself and to the
church ho has Icng and earnestly served for
permanent relief from the pastoral relations ,
andWhereas
Whereas , In reluctantly permitting this
bond-between pastor and people to bo broken ,
In which we have found to much to Inspire
and ennoble , we rcallre how much will be
lest , not alone tcr this church and Its mem
bers , but to thousands ot others about us

Resolved , That we as a church not only
desire but earnestly pray that his health and
