LINCOLN , May G. ( Special. ) It was a
taw minutes past 2 o'clock this afternoon
v.-lion the supreme court justices took their
seals to resume the .Hill trial. Governor
Holcomb had como tn a little before this , and
nat In the rear of the counsel table , chatting
pleasantly with Judge IJroady , Mr. Whcdon
and AUr/rncy / Deweeso. Captain Hill came
In a little later , followed soon by several
ladles , whllo within the railing cat a score
or so ot attorneys , all more or less Inter
ested In the case.
Immediately upon taking their scats Chief
Justice Norvnl announced that although the
court Is In considerable doubt upon the ail-
mlsslblllty of the depository bond Into evi
dence , It had derided tor present purposes to
admit the questioned bond , reserving the
right to rule more fully upon the matter
hereafter.
Judge Wakeley then proceeded to read a
number ot prominent authorities bearing
upon the manner In which ex-Treasurer HI !
signed Ills official bond. It has been clalmoc
liy the defense that the fact that Mr. Hll
had , through an oversight , failed to nlgn
the bond In the usual manner Invalidates
the Instrument and all Ita provisions. The
Htatc , on the contrary , alllrms that the ap
licaraiicu of Hill's namu In the body of the
Instrument Is a sufficient evidence that It :
binding clauses wore drawn and engrossci
with the full knowledge and consent or by
the direction of the defendant , and cltui
a number of opinions from the suprcin
court of Georgia and that of several other
Rtatcs. In which It Is held that the maker :
ot notes , bonds and contracts are llablo to
the terms expressed tl'ereln , where the
maker's name appears on the face or In the
body ot the Instrument , either In print o
Tvrltlng , with Ills knowledge and approval
HILL'S ACTS HOLD HIM.
Finishing with his authorities , Judg
Wakeley resumed his argument by sayln
that the state holds that Hill's suretie
arc still llablo. even granting for the sake o
argument that ho had never seen the bent
but had authorized the drawing of It. Again
under the plain provisions of the law , tli
state treasurer was compelled to file hi
bond and oath of olllco within a given time
otherwise the olllce became vacant Ipso facto
Hill had gone to Governor Thayer , ha
presented the Instrument ho now repudiate
and had said : "This Is my bond and thes
are my sureties. " Ho had further pressnte
U to Governor Iloyd with the same state
inent , and If this Instrument , which purport
cd at that time to be Ills olHcial bond , \va
not such In reality , then Mr. Hill usurpe
his ofllco for two years and handled Hies
$5,000,000 of money unlawfully and fraudu
luntly "It Is true , " sj.ld the state's coun
Ml , emphatically , "that there may be a d
facto ofllccr , but I want to say that there i
no da facto olllcer when the olllco Is va
cant , as the truasurer's surely was for two
years If tlmt bond was void when pressated
by Air. Hill. Having once presented the
bond to Governor Thayer , with the state
ment that It was his , nnd having entered
upon his term of olllce under the supposi
tion that It was such In fact , the principle
of estoppel must certainly step In now , "
Judge \Vakeley concluded , "J o prevent a
tardy repudiation of Its provisions. "
Attorney 1'rltchett of Omaha folllo.vod
Judge Wakeley , saying at the outsatVe :
contend under the statute that the treas
urer's bond ought to be executed In the ordl-
n'a'-y manner. The statutes of South Dakota
provide that the sureties upon bonds of this
character shall sign with the principal. The
supreme court of Michigan , In the Thirty-
ninth Michigan , holds the same doctrlnu ,
whllo the statutes of this state require that
the treasurer shall sign his bond at the
bottom of the Instrument and In the right
hand corner. "
Mr. I'rltchett urged that the delivery of
this bond liv the secretary of state's olllco
Is no presumption that the bond was prop
erly and legally executed by Mr. Hill. He
referred to the citations ot Judge Wakeley
and pointed out that In the majority of
them the Intent of the maker was apparent
from the wording ot the body of the Instru
ments , lu Hill's case , however , ho takes it
that the state will bo compelled to Introd ice
testimony going to show that cx-Treasu-cr
Hill Intended the unsigned bond to repre
sent his properly executed official bond ; and
until such testimony Is Introduced the pre
sumption must remain that the bond vas
not executed by the defendant , for some i > > a-
son not explained.
"If H was not Hill's bond It was not the
bond of his sureties , " Mr. 1'rltchett .said In
conclusion. The main point of his argu
ment was simply that the statutes of this
elate require a treasurer's bond to be signed
at the bottom and on the right-hand bide ,
and that any other manner of utte'iiptlng
to execute an Instrument of this rl-aracter
must fall when these provisions are Ignored.
COWIN SAYS HILL GAVE NO UOXD.
General Cowln began bis speech by raying
that It would be strange If the court had not
already settled some of these mattari to
its own entire satisfaction , but doslred to
call Its attention to the fact that ' .nero ore
certain points Involved In nils ciso which
have never been passed upo.i by this couit
points which are ot more gravity in the
elate at largo than the cae at bar. At the
very start lie desired to state rile position
In reference to the lecM clmracl * " of tHs
bond. Ho believed that It was absolutely
void. In section S of p-jgo li)7 ) of tno Ctm-
plled Statutes an unequivocal direction for
the legal execution if u treasurer s band Is (
laid down. In passing tv ! > lotlnltlon ot the
word execution Oiiieral 'owlii stued tlmt
the word originally contemplated ilgnliM ,
Bcallng and delivering. Se.xll'ie being now
obsolete , bond Is not oto-uUJ until It Is
signed and delivered. Tha supreme court ot
Michigan has held tha. ' . whore one of tin
sureties has failed far anv causetn sign a
bond which Is afterward MICH ! on th : but den
of proof rests upon tlio man who sues on
the bond to prove that tno surety Intended
to attach his signature according to con
tract. Numerous other supreme court de
cisions holding similarly were cited , and thu
general then recurred tn the rase cf the
Hoard of Education against Sweeney , re
ported from South Dakota In 48 Northwest
ern Reporter. In this case , meutl'inv.l itst
by Mr. I'rltchett In his argument. It Is held
that although the name of Dcntloy U. Bene
dict Is written In the body of his bond his
name Is not signed at the bottom , as re -
quired by the statutes of South Dakota , end
the bond is therefore declared void. The
gist ot tlio authorities cited Is that the
meaning of the term "give a bond , " as set
out In thu statutes of the various states
named , Is primarily and distinctly that the
principal shall execute such a bond by signIng -
Ing with his sureties In the ordinary and
stipulated manner. The Minnesota case ndof
Martin against Homshy. reported In
GG Northwestern Reporter , page 751 ,
was cited as ono being similar
In every respect to the the case at bar. In
this case A. H. Hcmiby , a real estate shark ,
who deilrcd to become a notary public , pro
cured the signatures ot Url L. Lamprey , a
prominent St. Paul attorney , and A. L. Clark
to his notarial band , and then failed to sign
nil own name as principal , or to apprise the
unsuspecting sureties of the fact when tiling
the bond with the secretary ot state , In which
olllco the omission was overlooked until suit
ivas begun on the bond against the sureties.
The supreme court of Mlnnoiota held hoed
bond to be Invalid. Lamprey having called
tlomsby'a attention to the vital necessity of
tils signature being attached.
DEPOSITORY I10ND READ.
Mr. Lambertson objected to the on
9t the depository bond Into evidence and to
Its being read to the Jury , on the ground that > '
t was signed by the Capital National bank as
principal , whll1 ( hat bink was not authorized
under the nil .nil banking act to to sign.
The much fiuijht over depoUlory band was
then read to the jury by Mr. I'rltchett , A :
already outlined , tha bond obligates tbc
.boC
Capital National bank as principal , and C ,
IV. Mosher and II. C Qutcalt ai sureties , to
pay the state $700,000 In case of breach o
lay of 1U terms. The certificate of the
otiry public before vrhom Mosher and Out-
cult qualified In the penal sums of 1500,000
nd 1200,000 , respectively , were alto read as
ttached ,
General Cowln wai heard a little further
pen the queitlon of whether or not Hill
xecutcd the bond within the legal meaning
jf the term and declared that the funda
mental principle here Involved Is , was It the
Contract ot Mr. Hill's sureties that they
hotiM sign that bond la the absence ot bis
jwn signature ? In other words. Is this bond
xecutcd and delivered In the absence ot
the principal's signature , and In the absence
if any testimony going to how that the
> i re ties had knowledge ot the fact , when they
consented to and signed the Instrument ?
Court then adjourned until 9:30 : tomorrow

LINCOLN , May G. ( Special. ) The question
of whether or not Governor Holcomb would
appoint an umpire to act with the two ap
praisers appointed by the Board of Public
Lands and Buildings and Prison Contractor
Dorgan hai been decided In theaffirmative. .
Governor Holcomb says that ho will make the
appointment within a very few days , probably
on Wednesday. Land Commissioner Russell
ot the opinion that such Is the proper
course. In case of a disagreement between
the board's appraiser , nroatch , nnd Dorgnn's
selection , Gale , the umpire , as Is provided
In the bill , must act. Mr. Ruisell thinks
that bo would hardly bn In a position to dose
so Intelligently If called In suddenly and
asked to pass upon a matter In which he had
not enjoyed the eame opportunities for In
vestigation afforded the two appraisers. This ,
too , by the way. Is the opinion of Dorgan.
He wants the governor to appoint an umpire
at an early day and let tha appraisers pro
ceed at once with their work.
What will be done when Dorgan gives up
his contract Is not settled. The Hoard of
Public Lands and Buildings has the right to
let the contract for two years more , under
the law. It may take such action , or the
state may find the convicts on Its hands for
an Indefinite period.
Warden Leldlgh has returned from his east

In the case Involving the city paving of

$67.373. McDonald sued for $34,000. but
Judge Hastings gave him only $1C,9C3. Uuck-
stafl had on his books a charge against Mc
Donald of $5,000 for lobbying the contract
through the council , but Judge Hasting' ]
does not recognize this form of Indebtedness.
Of the amount McDonald has already re
ceived $12S9S , leaving due him , with In

of sixty jurors was exhausted this afternoon
and court adjourned till tomorrow , when the
work of filling the Jury box will bo resumed.
An occurrence , somewhat sensational In Its
character , was sprung In the opening of
court today , when County Attorney Sears
objected to the assistance- Lawyer H. H.
Bowes , who had been employed by private
parties to assist In the prosecution. Scars
gives as his reason that Bowes had publicly
announced In open court that ho had written
to Governor Holcomb to assign the attorney
general to the charge ot the prosecution , and
that ho felt the Insult tea keenly to counte
nance his offender In the trial of the case
Assistant Attorney General Summers Is pres
ent , but will assume no responsibility , and .Mr
Churchill , who was officially responsible for
the arrest of the defendants , seems to have
shifted the duty he assumed onto the county
attorney. Summers , when questioned , un
hesitatingly declared that the attorney gen
eral had no doubt as to the land , where th
murder occurred being In Nebraska , but ex
pressed no opinion of hU own. This ques
tion will be one of Importance In this case
which ngw promises to be bitterly fought U
the end. The defense has retained Judge
Jessie- Davis of Ulalr and Judge S. H.
Cochran of Iowa to assist Judge II. Wade
GHIIs. Both sides have caused surveys of the
land to be made , and C. L. Crow , surveyor of
Harrison county , Iowa , who has made two
surveys recently , Is subpoenaed as a witness ,
but like others on the Inside , displayed a dis
position to "keep mum. " and envelop the
whole thins In a deeper mystery. The mys
tery that seems to hover over the case Is
expected to reveal a great surprise in the
development of the case.

was never reported to Auditor Moore , and
hat no record had been kept of its receipt
jy Treasurer Paul. Auditor Moore has laid
: ho facts before Attorney General Churchill
and awaits his action In the matter. Hxam-
ner McCloud has filed duplicates of his re
lort to the state audltcr with the present
reasurer of Adams county and other officials ,

WOMEN WANT THEIR OWN
tesolve that LAWS ( Jamming tlio Wlfa'g
1'roperty Illghtaro Mainly Wrcm ? .
The parliamentary practice department of
he Woman's club held one of Its best meot-
ngs yesterday. The subject under discussion
vas the same as at the previous meeting ,
'The Property Itights of Women : Are They
Just ? " The discussion showed that the
vomon who did the talking were thoroughly
> osted and had read considerable law. The
a\vs of Maine. Massachusetts , Iowa , Kansas
and several other states were quoted freely ,
irovlng that the \\omen were "up In the
as" of other states than their own. The
prevailing sentiment was In favor of equity ,
and not that woman should bo treated as
hough she needed a guardian.
Mrs , Peattle , leader of the department of
ipplied economics , offered the following res
olutions , which were accepted :
Whereas , Women are citizens of this com
monwealth , subject equally with men to
the penalties of the law , the levy of taxes
anil responsibility for debt ; and
Whereas , Their pioperty rights , though
llfferlng In many states , are In none equal
In privilege to those accorded men ; and
Whereas , As In many states , a woman Is
not entitled to the disposition of her own
earnings after marriage , nor entitled to
but n fraction ot her deceased husband's
property , though It may have been the ic-
sult of her laboia equally with those of her
husband's ; therefore , be It
Itesolved , That we protest ngalnst such
Injustice , which often works llnnnclnl ruin
to women , which is liable to take from
them the fruits of their own labors , and
which at nil tlm ° s shows un unfair disciIm-
Inatlon against the sex ,
Mrs. Henderson , the leader of this depart-
men , gave her class as subjects for thought
during the next two weeks :
"Will This n < ; public Last for Another Hun
dred Years ? "
'Why Were the Judges of the Supreme
Ccurt Evenly Divided on the Question of the
Incune Tax ? "
"Is Monarchical or Republican Form of Gov
ernment Most Conducive to Political Corrup
tion ? "
The meeting was addressed by Colonel
Hogcland , who gave the women an Invitation
to attend the convention to be held hero en
the ICth of May. He asked them to resolve
themselves Into a committee of the whole
and attend in a body.
The political economy department enjoyed
a rare treat. Mr. Loblngler , the able leader
of the political economy department of Unity
club , gave a most Interesting lecture MI
"Monometallism and Bimetallism. " A great
many of the members of the current topic
class were present to hear Mr. Loblnglcr's
lecture. The subject for the next meeting Is
"Coin's Financial School. "
