LINCOLN , June 19. ( Special. ) In connec
tion with the recent decision of the supreme
court lu the Hay-Abbott contest , Governor
Kolcomb has received a letter from Assistant
Physician Sophronla Lane , resigning her
ofllce at the Horpltnl for the Insane , to take
effect an tlio 20th Inat. H Is understood that
nie ! was removed with Dr. Hay and others
May 18 , and It seems to bo EO held by the
supreme court. Dr. L. J. Abbott Is now In
full charge of the asylum and Drsr Hay and
'Alanary are removing their effects- from the
building. Dr. Abbott Is1 being deluged with
applications' ' for appointment to minor posi
tions. Dr. Abbott has voluntarily offered to
R. W. Johnson , late manager of the Capital
hotel , the position ot bookkeeper and post
master at the asylum. It Is not known
whether Mr. Johnson will accept the position
or not. He Is a republican , and hi ? appoint
ment Is an Indication that Dr. Abbott in
willing to make partisanship subservient to
the demands of the position for ability.
One ot the closing scenes of the con-
teat over the hospital was the dissolv
ing of the temporary Injunction today
secured In the district court by Dr.
Hay against Dr. Abbott. Judge Tibbetts
of the district court found for the defendant ,
Abbott , and would have done so before had
the supreme court nut had the case under
consideration.
CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
Today the Lincoln Savings bank filed a sen-
rational petition asking for a receiver for the
Western Manufacturing ! company , which re
cently quit business after giving a number of
chattel mortgages. As security for a loan the
bank holds , along with other chattels , some
stock of the manufacturing company and Is
therefore an Interested party. .The bank
charges that the officers ? of the company have
conspired to wreck It In fraud of the rights
ol the other stockholders ; that H. J. Walsh ,
formerly largely Interested In the company ,
some time ago transferred his stock to Ray
Welch , a son of M. D. Welch , the manager
of the company , without any consideration
and for the purpose of escaping liability. The
pstltlon also attacks the chattel mortgages
filed by II. J. Walsh and the Nebraska Na
tional bank of Omaha , claiming they were
given without consideration and asking that
they bo set aside.
NOT GUILTY OF CRIME.
The motion to dismiss the complaint
against ex-Chief of Police Cooper for em
bezzlement of the reward offered for the
murderers of old man Akcson has been
overruled. The motion was made by the
county attorney and the court holds that
this official has no Inherent power to dismiss
a complaint on preliminary examination be
fore the Introduction of evidence. The case
comes up for trial Friday.

ns to the character of his health at the time

IGNORING THE STATE LAW
Teachers' National Fraternal Benefit Asso
ciation Questioned ,
NO CERTIFICATE TO DO BUSINESS
Some Prominent Kiliicntors Connnctml with
tUo OrgiinlxAtlou Auditor Mooro'it
Statement us to the StiinUIni ;
of the Company.
LINCOLN , June 10. ( Special. ) According
o the statements ot Prof. M. P. Glvcns ,
upretne scribe and dean ot finance of the
eacOers' National Fraternal Benefit asso-
latlon ot Lincoln , the Institution Is doing
most flourishing business and writing pol-
clcs on the lives of members dally. Yet
tate Auditor Moore avers that all this
uslncss Is Illegal , because the organization
as not compiled : with the Insurance laws
t the state. The only color ot authority
assessed by the company , the only excuse
or being In the Brace block at all , with
andsome , well supplied offices , Is the fol-
owlng :
he State ot Nebraska , Auditor of Pub'.lc
Accounts , ss. :
Know nil men by these presents : That this
s to fully authorize and eni | > ewer M. 1 * .
Gtvens and A. K. Goudy to solicit membcr-
Iilp und maku application to the auditor
t public nccounts for the Issuance of n
ertlllcntc of authority to the Teachers'
National Fraternal Benefit association of
Incoln , Neb. , to transact business In the
tatc of Nebraska , which Bald certlllcate
vlll be issued upon the full compliance
vlth the Insurance laws of Nebraska.
Witness my hand and olllclul soul this
Sth day of January , 1S35 ,
EUGKNR MOOHK ,
Vudltor of Public Accounts and Insurance
Commissioner.
Auditor Moore says that since January
8 no certificate has been applied for and
lone Issued to the company. It Is this doc-
ment , and this alone , which could authorize
t to transact business. Following Is the
ull list of the ofllcers and advisory board
f the Institution :
A. K. Goudy , supreme chancellor , presi
dent and general manager ; M. P. Glvens ,
uprcme scribe and dean of finance ; Albert
1. Mitchell , M. D. , supreme medical exam-
ner ; G. M. Lambertson , LL.D. , supreme
ounsollor at law ; Chancellor D. R. Dungan ,
uprcme chaplain.
Advisory beard : Rev. C. M. McCurdy ,
ohn M. Thayer , Lincoln ; Prof. D. E. San-
ers , president Kansas Normal college , Fort
Scott ; Nathan B. Coy , ex-state superlnteml-
nt ot public Instruction , Denver ; Miss Es-
ello Reel , state superintendent of public In-
tructlon , Wyoming ; Hon. George B. Lane ,
A. M. , ex-superintendent ot public instruc-
lon , Nebraska , Olympla , Wash. ; Prof. D. N.
ohnson , A. M. , ex-professor of chemistry
and toxicology , University of Arkansas ; Mrs.
\ . J. Peavey. state superintendent of pub
ic Instruction , Colorado ; President D. R.
Dungan , A. M. , LL.D. , chancellor Cotner

Lllllbrldge , president Lincoln Business col-
ego , Lincoln ; Hou. Richard Edwards , LL.D. ,
ex-stato superintendent of public Instruc
tion , and ex-president State Normal univer
sity , Bloomlngtun , III.
It Is to be noticed that nearly all the
prominent Instructors named In the list of
: he advisory board are non-residents of the
stato. Chancellor Canfleld was asked to en
dorse the enterprise , but It Is understood
: liat be refused to do so lu most emphatic
: crms.
According to statements made by ofllcers
of the company , "the Teachers' National
Fraternal Benefit association of Lincoln ,
Neb. , Is an association regularly and legally
organized for the mutual aid and benefit
of Its members. " This statement Is also
published to the world in a circular.
Auditor Moore says this Is false. Ho sayo
that it can never bo legally organized until
It has complied with the law.
Following are the objects of the associa
tion :
OBJECTS OF THE ORDER.
1. To unite teachers everywhere Into one
graud protective union.
2. To aid Its members financially when
sick or when suffering from any disabling
accidental Injury.
3. To provide substantial benefits for the
widows , orphans or other dependents of
deceased members.
4. To establish and maintain homes for
Indigent and superannuated teachers.
5. To provide against want In old ago
by the payment ot survivorship benefits
at ages stated In tables. Assess
ments will bo duo and payable monthly on
the first day of the month succeeding that
In which application Is made , but the cer
tificate la In full force from date of Issue.
Payments may be made monthly , quarterly ,
semt-annually or annually , as preferred and
stated In the application.
The rate tables used by the company are
similar to those employed by nearly all the
mutual benefit associations and guilds.
State Auditor Moore sayn that he had a
conversation with Prof. Goudy , who Is the
mainstay and promoter of this enterprise ,
last January , soon after the latter as suc
ceeded as state superintendent of public in
struction by Prof. Corbett. At that time
Auditor Moore fully explained to Prof.
Goudy the provisions of the state Insurance
laws and urged upon him the necessity of
complying with them strictly. He then Is
sued the document authorizing the forma
tion of a company and granting the right to
apply for a certificate. Since that time Prof.
Goudy has never perfected the title of the
Teachers' National Fraternal Benefit asso
ciation , and Is now transacting a business
which , tor the safety of Its patrons , should
be on a secure foundation , Illegally.
Should complaint be filed with the auditor
It would be his province to cite the pro
jectors of the enterprise to appear before
him and explain why they persist In Ignoring
the plain provisions of the law. The or
ganization ot the company dates from Jan
uary last , nearly six months ago. It Is not
known what the volume of business written
has been , outside of the office , but It Is
supposed to have been considerable. It Is
certainly a matter In.which each member
paying dues Is vitally Interested and one
worthy his or her closest examination.

' snlo ot thu UlUlllorlei.
CHICAGO , June 19. In the arguments In
he Whisky trust case today Edwin Walker ,
the representative of the Morris and Greenhut
ntcrests , began his argument against the
granting of the petition for the sale of the
illstlllerles. He assorted that the scheme of
the reorganization committee was simply to
form a new trust. The old one had been
killed by the supreme court and on Its ruins
t was proposed to erect the new one , under
the charter of some other state.
Mr. Walker characterized the attacks on
Greenhut and Morris as Inspired by the fact
that these two men stood In the way of the
plans and schemes of the reorganization com
mittee. They were being vllllfled on every
occasion. Their cattle feeding contract wae
denounced as a fraud , he said , and yet the
petitioners for the sale assigned as a main
reason for a speedy sale the necessity of
making cattle feeding contracts.
Mr. Walker accused the receiver with
being a party to the attacks on Morris and
said that they were brought for the purpose
of creating sensations In the newspapers ; that
as soon as one died out they filed another and
brought none to trial.

BUTTB , Neb. . June 19. ( Special Tele
gram. ) On court convening this morning
Miss McWhortcr concluded her direct testi
mony concerning the capture of the party
and assault upon Scott and hU family at
Parker. She said they wcro not pulled out
of the buggy , but got out of their own
accord. Ouo man did all the talking. The
man searched the valises. When the started
for O'Neill she noticed a ring on his hand.
It was a gold band ring , chased and en
graved , She had seen the ring before on
Mose Elliott's finger , at her father's house ,
about a year ago. Saw MulHh.ui and Iden
tified him at Mrs. Scott's house. Recog
nized him as the man at Parker. Ho was
dressed the same as at Parker. Was sure
Mulllhan was at Parker. Witness then
picked out Mulllhan from among the de
fendants , and she was positive It was him.
Saw scratches on his hand at Scott's house ,
just as she had made them at Parker. Dell
Akin held up Mullthan's hand. Mulllhan
said he got them scratched at Elliott's
barn by a vicious horso. On cross-examina
tion she said the voice of Mullthan did not
sound the tame at Scott's as It did at
Parker. Because Mulllhan was spoken ot as
the guilty party she thought he was guilty.
Could not swear positively that Mulllhan
was at Parker. Said she did not testify at
preliminary trial that the reason scratches
on Mullllmn's hand did not fit her finger
nails was because she had bitten her nails
off short. Could not identify Roy as one
of the assailants. The man who drove as
far as O'Neill asked her who had been shot.
He raid : "D n the man who shot you. 1
did not do It. I am a detective , and have
been after these fellows for two years. "
Dan PUImer recognized Mulllhau ns the
man ho had met In the road near Parker
on December 31. Saw him at O'Neill. Did
not know him when ho met him In the road.
Was dressed differently at O'Neill. On
cross-examination ho said ho had seen a
man since who looked Just like the man IID
met on the road to Parker. Walked like
htm , and was the same In all his move
ments. Aked to tell who this last man
was , said ex-Sheriff McEvony of O'Neill was
like him. The man he saw did not have
pants Insldo of his boots.
MRS. SCOTT CREATES A SENSATION.
Mry. Scott , wife of the murdered ex-treas
urer , was then sworn. Her testimony was
nearly Identical with that at the preliminary
hearing. She created quite n scene by her
positive Identification of Mulllhan as the man
who did most of the talking at Parker. She
said that before Scott was separated from
her ho told her to go home and take care of
Fannlo as best she could , that she would
never see him again. She paid the men of
fered him no violence. She also Identified
Han is as one of the assailants. He wore a
thick overcoat. The vall'es were taken from
the buggy and placed In the other , buggy
after having been searched. Took horse and
other ladles several miles end told them to
go to house near by.
On cross-examination r io said Harris , Mul
llhan and Elliott had no Information of their
visit to Scottvllle. Scott's friends did. Sar
gent , a brother-in-law ot Mrs. Scott and a
particular friend of Scott , questioned her
closely as to when they \vere going to O'Neill.
Had never seen Mulllhan or Harris previous
to December 31 , Heard only one person's
volco at Parker. The voice was not Harris'
or Elliott's. There was one other man the
same slzo as Harris In the crowd. Did not
Ideutlfy the man until after preliminary trial
at O'Neill. Saw him In caurt room at
O'Neill. Identified him as August Oberle.
Was a' sure It was Oberlo and that he was
at Parker as she was that any of her state
ments were true. Did not know that Be3-
dlo had a gray horse. Saw the fame quilts
lu buggy at Scott's as at Parker.
Dell Akin , recalled , produced the rope
founJ on Scott's neck.
Defense obfected to the Introduction of the
rope because it was shown that It has not
been In witness' possession continuously , but
had bten In the county judge's office at
O'Neill , where It could have been exchanged
for any other rope. The objection was over
ruled.
Photographs of Scott taken at the under
taking rooms were offered In evidence.
II. C. McEvony was called. The defense
objected to the testimony of McEvony because -
cause his name was not Inscribed on the In
formation. Overruled.
The testimony of Smith at the preliminary
examination was then read to the jury. The
defense entered objections to each and every
question asked of each witness by the state
during the day on the grounds that the
prosecution was seeking to prove by the wit
ness that the assault , the formation of the
conspiracy and the strangulation ot Barrett
Scott was committed In Holt county , while
the Information charged the same to have
been taken In Boyd county.
Each oblectlon was overruled by the court
and the ruling excepted to.
