DEFENSE OUTLINES A GREAT DANGER < Beta Up llio Claim that It Hill It Hold Ref - f uponnllilo No IT lvcry : Stale and tomilj Trcutnror Will lie Irrc- trietablr Knitted. LINCOLN , Mar 3. ( Special. ) Attorneys consumed the greater portion of the day In the case of tlio tate against 1IIII and ethers in irit'lng ; the question ot tlio aclmlualoii ol tlio depository bond of the Capital National batik In evidence. As tlio case prngroBSfca II groua moio nnd moro cvldont that the cai < at h.nrs \ ona of tlio Rrcalwt and moil fai rejr'litriB In Its rrsulls of any which has cvui been prcnetituil to the courts. Had the stall f'\inttlory \ law been rcpp.ilcd It nould havi bw.i moro so. The decision of the Jury Ir this trial , and the charge of the court , \\ll ecttlo the rpicvtlon whether or not a state 01 county ttcaiuror , who In the ra * ' 'ias dope * itrd money In banks , has been guilty of t felony. It Is claimed by tlio.st.Ue In thla trla that ho Is. rty the defence U Is claimed thai lie Is not , but has by custom from time Im memorial been entitled to do EO and draw thi Interest thereon. The state Is relying on the decision of the supreme court of Nibrasl.a It the Cedar county case. Attorney Ames for the defense continued his argument thla mornlim In favor of ad jnlttlni ; the Capital National bank's clepos itory bond In evidence. He said that hi THjnnlad thin case as the most Important one that had ever been tried In thu stall of Nebraska. Should the defence bo sus talnpil none vionld be Injured. Of $280,000 , 000 of assessment , the amount In velvet though apparently IHTKC , was not two-tenth ! of 1 per cnt. or lesi than 20 cents In $100 Hut should the state prevail a numbei of Just as good citizens as the court or him pelf would bo Irretrevlably ruined. JJepart Int ; from the principal point In Issue , tin argument of Mr. Ames became quite genera In character anil scope. Ho quoted fron Colorado reports a dec-talon wherein a countj trsauirer was held to be simply a bailee eubjcpt only to the law of bailments am only llntilo under the law , unless othervvlsi prat Uleil by ppcel.il statute. UEsroNsiiin.iTina ov Tmusunnns. The attorney directed attention to the fac that the Txmd of e\-Trcasur = r Hill only men tloned him as state treasurer and did no recognise him In any other way than in hli official capacity. Ho read from Sllnnesoti reports a case In St. Louis county In vthlcl n draft had been drawn upon the state treas iirer for $200,000. The state treasurer hac ncrppted the draft and forwarded to tin olllclal a check for the amount. The olflrla liad failed to present the check before tin bank , In which was deposited the fund , hat failed The county odlclal sued the stall treasurer for the amount , but the court : had held that the state treasurer had con ducted the affair In a business llko inanne ; and was not liable. Other decisions wen read by the attorney holding that county am Btste treasurers were bailees for hire am that It was lncnmbnnt upon them to conduc their business only In the usual order o Imslness. He Is charged with responslblllt ; for the fund * In his care and so long as In CTcrcl es no custody over them except In hi : offlrtal capacity , so Jong'as ho does not con vert them to his own use , or deposit then In hi * own name , he Is not liable for loss. In the case of Comcstock against Gage ninety-seventh Illinois , Treasurer Gigo hac l ) ° en prosecuted for placing money In i limit. It being alleged by plaintiff that tin treasurer had loaned the money. Court hac held that while It may have been technically construed n a loan , It was not such unde the statute nnd that the treasurer was no liable for criminal prosecution where tin Iietnilty wns penal servitude If the de feudant In th ° case at bar , Ames contended could bo pro-'eciited criminally for depositing Jiioncy In a tank , there was not a count ; Ireasurcr In the stnto who was not llabl to the same convlrtlon. lint the nttorne ; mid he would cheerfully take all such ci = e and bring them to this court with a flrn lielicf of success In defending them. / Jllihlrin decision had held that money In i InnU was actually In the state treasury The easn was ono In which einbrizlomcn from the state trea ury was charged am ilefr-nao had sot up that the money was no In lhr > treasury , having been chorKcd out o the Innk by the embezzler. A Pennsylvanl case was cited In which mon ° y In Uie hand of , i trukteo was placed In a bank at a smal rate of Interest. The money had been losl but the court held the trustee not Habit as had he not deposited In some bank whir lie believed safe , but had continued to kee a large sum about the parson of trustee , h would have been negligent and guilty c improper conduct of the affairs of the estate The counsel closed with the .statement tha the practice of depositing public funds I banks was a matter of public law and publl notoriety U had been the custom of slat and county treasurers ever since the state ha como Into the union In ISGfl If the people- the etnto had desired' to change thla publl law they would have said so through thel legislative body. So far as they had legls lated upon the subject , It had been In the lln of permitting such deposits under certain re Itrlctlons. IMPOHTANCD OP BOND TO DEFENSE. Mr. Whecdon followed Ames for the de fensc. Ho said that the question at Issii was the Introduction of the depository bond c the Capital National bank as eUJence. H Iroad the depository law of the state. Ml AVheedon claimed that. If given an opportun Ity , the ilofetuo would show that of all th jnoneys deposited by Treasurer Hill , all ha b ° en applied to uses of the state save the sur of $230,000 , and If given a chance , by the ail mission of the depository bond , the dofcns would show that even that money had bee applied to uses of the state. Under the de | > osltory law , If the ctate treasurer did nc put the money In a depository designated b the state , ho was liable to a line of $5,001 Hut It had been put there , and now the stat if t tried to bar all evidence of that fact. To th 1 ' counsel the position of the state appcareJ t bo this H desired the privilege of show In that money of the state had been Illegal ! leposlted , but objected to any testimony show Ing the contrary to bo the fact. Dy way < hypothetical Illustration Mr. Whcedon aako what right had the governor and attorno teneral to go to the treasurer and ask him fo this money without presenting a warrant. Th constitution provided that no money shoul jjo paid out of the treasury except on a wai rant drawn by the state auditor. Dut sunpos they had such warrant , what then ? H wa llio duty of the treasurer to p.iy this warrar 14 by tt check on the depository , and how coul ' the chock be drawn It there was no money I the Capital National bank ? The last legist : turo had recognlzoJ , In Its appropriations , th : 423(1,000 was tied up In the Capital Nation ! bank. The defense In this case had the rlgl to show , by this depository bond , how th money became tied up In that bank. M "Wheedon too * up the criminal law polr which ho claimed was being urged by th state against defendants and said that umU the law every man who accepted a check o n bank from a state treasurer Ixicame an a < co&jory. It that was to bo held to bo true , rene ono was safe. The twelve men on hU le would , when this case was over , go down I the stale treasurer and receive , what ? check. Even the honorable court , when lrow Us quarterly salary , accepted a checl The chief executive of the state did the fam liven the learned counsel tor the state , Judg "SVakcley. In whom the snows of age had nc quenched the flrca of genius , would for h service * In this celebrated case receive check , and therefore ho heailed the long pr < cession toward the penitentiary. At this point court adjournel until 2 p. n WHAT IS MONEY ? A Mr. Wheedon resumed his argument I i -3 the afternoon. Counsel dwelt for some tlu upon the definition ot the word "money , lie held that In the transfer between Wl lard nnd Hill and Hartley the settlemei [ / , ' Iiad been made In current funds , which I , v oil commercial transactions was recognized i money. The state rested their case upon tt plea that depositing money In banks by stal and county treasurers was a felony. Thei was not a man within the sound of tl counsel's volco who , if that was the law I be enforced , would render personal servl < for which he wna to bo paid In a check draw- by the state treasurer , thereby becoming a accessory to a crime. The depository bond , which the defens eought to Introduce In evidence , was ai proved by Governor Crounse and Secretary i State Allen on His 14th of January , 1S93 , h very day on which Hill vacated and lartley assumed the office of sUte treasurer , tr. Wheedon held that , In the face ot cui- om , established policy and practice , the old aw against state treasurers depositing itata noney In banks had become obioteto. It bad > ccn cuttom from time Immemorial to do- wslt money In banks , and It that was to be changed Mr. Hill should have been given nctlco to that effect. After these certificates of deposit had been received by the state torn Hill and deposited In a bank to the amount ot J2S5.000 , the sum ot $49.000 was liawn out and applied to payment ot slate debts. "Now , " said Mr. Whcedon , warming up. 'I ask your honors how a state treasurer shall pay money out on tha public school apportionment ? Shall he go to each county reasurcr , and Individually , or by deputy , > ay over the counters of those treasurers .he cash In gold , or silver , or greenbacks , cr national bank notes ? What does he do ? He draws a check and malls It to the county .rcasurer , and , according to the counsel for he state , he becomes n felon In so doing , Because he 1ms deposited the state money In i bank beltre ho could check against the same. " Mr. Wherdon read a long decision from Wisconsin reports In which , under a most stringent law ag-iinst the deposit of state funds by treasurers In banks , a prosecution agalnrt ono ticasurer had fallen through , the court holding that the practice of thirty ypars had created a public policy which exonerated the state treasurer. The case was the state of Wisconsin against McL'et- trldgc. The law at that time demanded that the state funds should be kept In the vaults of ths state treasurer , and It was obligatory upon him to pay out tha Identical ( olns or pieces of money which ho received. The court had held that this construction ol the law was too narrow. Counsel did not believe the legislature ol this state had ever Intended to legislate tc the effect Unit money belonging to the state should be kept In the vault of the state Measurer's olllca In the capltol building , and : hat the same currency should be paid out that had been paid In. "This court has held so , " said Judge Wakeley. "I do not Lf-lleve It , " responded Mr , Wheedon. "I do not believe this court haa ever ruled BO ; I do not believe It will rule so In the case at bar. " Counsel mid that the supreme court ol Wisconsin , In the face of a most stringent law , had hold that state money on deposit was money In the state treasury. Mr , Whcedon admitted that the supreme- court of Nebraska had made a ruling on this point. I3ut ho did not believe the CM.SC had bcon a parallel ot this ono. Two Missouri cases were cited. In ono the treasurer ot the state had ser.l a county treasurer a check on a St. Louis bank for $3,033. For forty days the county treasurer held the Chech without presentation. In fact , he never dIO present It at the bank. Meanwhile the St Louis bank failed. It had been held thai the county treasurer could not recovr from the stnto treasurer ou account of his own negligence. The other one was a case In which a taxpayer had given the collector a check for his taxes. The collector did nol present It. The bank failed nnd the collcctoi returned the taxpayer a delinquent. Courl hold that the collector could not recover , as the taxpayer had done his duty and the col lector had neglected his. Abandoning the state reports , Mr. Wheedor turned tils attention to application of them tc the case nt bar. He said that so long as the state was drawing out $49,000 from the Cap ital National bank not a word of complalnl had been heard. Dut when the bank 1mt failed , from that moment the state tried U draw a line between the deposit ot the mouej nnd the failure. BEHIND THE DEPOSITORY LAW. General John 0. Cowln for the defense fol lowed Mr Wheedon. Ho'said that ho dis liked to add five minutes of time to the dis cussion of this case , but as an attorney he owed n duty to his clients. The defendant Hill , had gone out of olllcc without a stair upon his private or official character Toi years , ever since the organization of the state , every state ofilcer had received his paj In a check on some bank. Tor twenty-sever years each legislature had met , and not i : word of protest against this method of con ducting public business had been heard There was no question at Issue whether the Capital National was bolvent or Insolvent ni the tlmo Hill went out of office. It liat failed subsequent to that time , and It hai been made n depository , nnd Its bond hai been accepted the day that Hill had turnei over the olOco of state treasurer to Hartley Judge Wnkeley had snld that the breach o law had occurred when Hill had put tht money In the Capital National bank Thl- was a suit for damages ugnlnst the bonds men of Hill. Where had the damages oc currcd ? Suppose that when Hartley had re ceived the certificates of deposit for $283,001 ho had sued the bank for the amount , nm suppose the bank had confessed Judgment paid the money Into court , and the cour had paid It to Hartley , what would have beei the duty ot Hartley In that case ? Under thi law , the bank ha\lng been made a depos Itory , It would have been obligatory on bin to have paid it all back Into the same bank What position , then , would the state havi been InWhat would have been the differ unco between Hill In that case and In thi present' General Cowln held that then would have been none at all. In cither casi ho was Innocent of any criminal complicity The officers of the state had approved the de posltory bond , and the bank was entitled ti the money , as It was the only depository It the state at that time. The state got Hi money , all that the law provided. Mr. Ulnaker , succeeding General Cowln said that , as he understood the case , the stati held that all damage had accrue 1 at the timi Hill had put the money In the broken bank. "Suppose , for Illustration , Hill had no turned over actual money , but In It : stead had given Hartley a lump of gold but lion worth by assay and In the market $283 , 000 , Suppose that Hartley had tkcn this bul lion to the bank and the bank had acccptet It for $285,000 , given the state a crodlt 01 Its books for that amount , and had thei failed. Judge Wakeley would have then comi In and Interposed the objection that tochnlca money had not been turned over. Would hi then have been sustained by the court' think not. Hut at this time Judge Wakele : could claim that gold bullion was not turnei over. Hut Its equivalent had been turne < over when the bank gave the state cradl on Its books for $285.000. The fact was thi consideration for which the bank gave crodl was $285,000. There can be no questloi about that. " WHAT THE STATE CONTENDS. At 4 15 Mr. Lamhertson , for the state , sail ho would not go Into a lenghtly discussion o the authorities cited by the defense , but I the court would examine them it would flm that In each case the moneys In banks wen all put there under the laws of the state li which the transactions were comummated Hut the contention of the btato In the casi at bar was that under the law of Nebraski the minute Hill put any state money li bank It was , under that law , a conversloi and Hill became liable to penal punishment This court had so held In the past. Had Hll left the state's money In the state's vault , ani had It been levst through no negligence o his own , ho would not have been liable Tha was the exact distinction between the case cited by the defense and the case at bar. The state could produce numerous authorl ties to sustain Itcelf , but why was It neces ary when this very court had held will them ? Mr. Lambertson said that custom couli not override law. The defense had spokei plausibly , but custom was outside of law. li the case of the state of Wisconsin agalns McFettrldgo all that had been decided wa that the state was not entitled to Intores thereon. A suit had been brought to rccove Interest , and the court had held that , as ther was no law authorizing state money to b placed In banks at Interest , It could not col lect Interest thereon. If the court wouli examine the various statutes of this stat It would notice an absence ot any referenc to checks , drafts , certificates of deposit Nothing U mentioned but actual money There was a variance In the positions aa sumed by the defense. In one Instance the claim the bondsmen are not liable becaus money was not received , only certificates o deposit. In another Instance they claim tha these certificates were actual money , th equivalent of money , the equivalent of goli bullion. In citing the Cedar county case again Mi Lambertson read to the effect that the su preiua court had held that It would be strange anomaly for a defendant to plea a felony In bar cf prosecution for damages The attorney applied this to the Hill cati and said : "It would be a strange anomaly In lai that Hill could plead , as his counsel dl plead , a felony for which he could be pun Ished In bar cf a suit for damages again : him and his bondsmen. " The one sharp question , counsel urged , t be decided by the court was the bond c Moaher et al. , many of them Insolvent a the time It wan made , to bo Introduced as a detens * agalntt the bondsmen ot John E Hill. From the Cth of January until tbe 14th these certificates had been held without any action being taken on them. This , In Itself , wa * rather strange. The depository law , counsel held , was a trine ambiguous , be cause that while It provided that thn treas urer should deposit money In hanks It did not say who was to be the Judge of the re liability ol the bank. Hut at any rate nc money could be deposited until a bond bad been approved. Again the law fays the state treasurer shall deposit money In state depositories , but Hartley had no actual money to depotlt. He only had certificates ol deposit "I venture to say , " said Mr. Lambertson "that had Hartley had $285.000 In cash he would not have put It In the Capital Na tional bank. Why , the very first draft ol $33,000 $ broke the bank. That Is the evi dence. Had Hartley taken $2S5,000 In monej and given to the bank I believe he could have checked It all out nnd never have losl a dollar. The bank didn't have the money when It Issued the certificate ! of deposit am ! was Insolvent. " The court hero gave notice of adjournmenl until 9 a. m. tomorrow. Intimating that there would bo no cession In the afternoon. Light as the airy songs of larks are tin dainties made with Dr. Price's Cream Hak- Ing Powder.

Neb./Mhy 3. ( Special ) U Is an open fact that this town has been a rendezvous for bootleggers for many > ears and they have carried on their nefarious trade with the Omaha Indians In defiance of the law' , government and people. Hut the Decatur people don't propose to tolcrato them any more. The Omaha Indians received $25,000 In money last Monday nt their agency. Per capita It amounted to $20 59. Tuesday they flocked to Decatur , about 150 In number , to drown their recent trials , troubles and tribu lations In the stimulating Influences of fire water and rot-gut whisky. It was not long before drunken Indians , women as well as men , were as thick as flies on a molasses barrel. Depredations of nil kinds were com mitted nnd excitement ran high Drunken women paraded the streets , howling and act ing ns If bedlam had broken loose. Some threw their arms around white men's neclss and asked for a kiss. Some of the bucks , when completely overcome with liquor , fell In the road llko a wet dish rag and were picked up later by friends nnd carried out of town. Several wagon loads wore disposed ot In this manner. Knives , pistols and all sorts of deadly weapons were as thick hero ns they arc at a Colorado dog light. Hut luckily no one was seriously Injured , although lots of threats were made. It Is safe to say that very nearly $1,000 was exchanged by the Indians for whisky. It is not only one man who Is Interested In the business of selling liquor to the Indians , but quite a number are Implicated , perhaps twenty. A prominent business man of this place , Henry Byram , said ho had from $200 to $500 to Invest In prosecuting the boot leggers , nnd , furtheimote , he emphatically stated that this godforsaken practice had to stop. If the law could not stop It then other means would be necessary About twenty citizens held a meeting and If the word had only been said a lynching bee would soon have been In progress nnd In the morning ono or two bootleggers would have been dangling from the flag polo. Everybody Is excited nnd the good element of the town Is goingto make a strong effort to suppress and drive out altogether this nefarious business. One or two church members came to Editor DeWItt of the Nefts of this place the other day and requested the question be agitated that a vigilance committee be formed and the bootleggers be wiped oft the face of the earth.
