It has been definitely decided that the
defense In the case of the State of Ne
braska against ex-Treasurer J. S. Hartley ,
accused of embezzlement ot state funds ,
will bu conducted by C. O. Whcdon of Lin
coin and T. J. ' .Mahoiiey of Omaha. Mr.
Whcdon association with the attorneys
for C. W. Mosher , the Lincoln bank wrecker ,
Is well known.
The employment of T. J. Mahoncy dates
from last Friday. Mr. Mahoiiey was tin
til the flret of the year the law partner of
Attorney General Smyth , the dissolution
of the partnership dating from January 1.
The attorney general's Omaha office Is
still with Mr. Mahoncy.
U. M. Uartlett of this1 city Is no longer
connected with the defense. His with
drawn ! was made In writing on Friday ,
April 30. Up to the date that Hartley was
arrcHted on a criminal charge filed In the
police court In this city Mr. Dartlett had
been associated with the attorneys for the
defense. Ho appeared In police court and
made an argument over the question of
fixing the ball bond and when the question
was decided withdrew permanently from
all connection with the cape.
It is true that Mr. Uartlett was associated
with C. O. Whcdon In the Hartley case up
to the time that the proceedings were com
mcnccd In Douglas county. Up to that time
It was believed that the case against Hartley
would only be tried In Lancaster county
and that therefore , there could be no crit
icism over his connection with the defense.
Mr. Uartlett stated to a reporter for The
Dec that he hna been Hartley's personal
attorney since before the latter was nomi
nated for state treasurer the first time In
1SU3.
1SU3.Mr.
Mr. Uartlett states emphatically that the
article which appeared In the World-Herald
on Sunday morning reflects unjustly upon
his Integrity. Ho utatcs that In no case
would bo remain with the defense with
out formally nnd permanently withdrawing
from his partnership with County Attorney
Baldrigc. The question was fully dis
cussed between hlnibolf and Mr. Balbrlgo
and It 'was ' decided between them , oven be
fore Hartley waa brought before Judge Gor
don , that the partnership would either be
dissolved or that he would withdraw from
all connection with Hartley's defense. After
canvassing the matter thoroughly , Mr. Uart
lett wiote a formal letter to Mr. Hartley ami
tn Air. Whcdon , withdrawing from the de
fense. This action was taken last Friday
and long before the article lu tbo World-Her
ald was written.
Mr. iDartlctt also roa nted the statement
made In the World-Herald to the effect thai
ho wan not a criminal lawyer. He says thai
his earlier experience- the profession wan
In criminal practice.He practiced criminal
law In Albany nnd when ho removed ' to
Omaha ho engaged In the same line. Ho
points to criminal cases he has won In
Omaha , among them a case In which O. II.
Hothaker , editor of the Omaha Dally Repub
lican , was arrested upon the charge of crim
inal libel preferred by tiio proprietor ot the
World-Herald. He resents the 'Imputations
cast upon his standing and reputation as
an attorney and asserts that they were made
in a spirit of maliciousness and entirely un
warranted by the facts.

Dr. Robert Doherly. rector ot Browncl
hall , and who has since Its Inception beet
at the head of that Institution , has reslgnec
and will sever his connection with the ischoo
on Juno 20.
The i resignation of Dr. Doherty conica n
the culmination of a scries of financial dim
cultlcs which have marked the conduct o
Browncll hall since the era of business de
presslon set In three or four years ago
from an average annual attendance of 14'
the number of young women attending th
Institution has become less and less cacl
year until at present there arc but fifty oa
the rolls. The Institution Is maintained en
tlrely from Its own resources and the llgh
attendance docs not furnish the revenue ncc
cmary to meet theexpenditures. . Not being
ublc to meet the deficiency from his own re
sources any Icnger , Dr. Doherty , at the Ins
meeting of the board of trustees , made a
full settlement and tendered his resignation
to take effect on June 30. Whether th
school will be maintained longer depends en
tlrely upon the action of the trustees. Th
present trustees are Hlshop Worthlngton
Herman Kour.tze , J. M. Woolworth , Cham
plon S. ChiiKo , G , W. Doane. Dr. Doherty and
J. P. Hawkins , the latter being a resident o
Waphlngton , D. C.
Hrownell hall was established as a privat
school for young women. Although It ha
been nominally under the control of tli
Episcopal church since Its foundation , it ha
always been conducted by Dr. Doherty , win
assumed all financial obligations , paid th
expsnscs and reimbursed himself from thi
receipts. When there has been a deficiency
In the revenues he has made up the anioun
from his private resources.
In an Interview with The Heo yesterday
Dr. Doherty stated that ho had given twenty
two years of his life to the Institution am
had sunk the most of his private fortune In
the enterprise. Ho had nothing to regret
however , and felt that ho had nccompllshei
much toward the Christian education of th
young women of the west. Since his con
nectlon with the school ho has built It u
from a small wooden structure on Slxteentl
street to the present magnificent building
on South Tenth street. The Institution I
chborately equipped and furnished , th
buildings modern In every particular and th
physical condition of the property excellent
When the Eouth wing was finished n numbe
of years ago Dr. Doherty furnished It from hi
private resources nnd at an expense of $19 ,
000. Ho only tenders his resignation. In
says , because he feels that ho can no longe
bear the burden of financial responsibility.
It Is proper to state that no other reason
exists for Dr. Dohcrty's resignation. As nn
educational Institutions , aside from Its finan
clal embarrassments , Brownell hall has beii
n success. Since Its Inception It hns gradu
ated 1,300 young women. It Is thoroughly
equipped for educational work of the bns
grade , Its chemical labratory , museums , musi
and art departments being specially complete
If the trustees will assume the burden o
financing the school Dr. Doherty will bo will
Ing to continue at Its head.
THEY OII.IHCT TO JURISDICTION
Itnrtley'N IloiiilNiiion I'rotCNt ; . „ . . . . . „
Trial In ThlK County. "
C. C. McNIsh , E. J. Fitzgerald , Alary Fitz
gcrald and E. E. Drown , bondsmen o
ex-Stato Treasurer J. S. Hartley , llvln
outalda of Douglas county , and Dart
ley himself have each filed their specla
appearance In the case In this county , scttlni
up objections to the jurisdiction of the court
of Douglas county to try the case. It I
alleged In each of the affidavits that tin
courts of Douglas county have no jurisdiction
and it Is asserted that If any court In th
state has jurisdiction it Is thu court of Lan
caster county , because the offense. If any wa
committed , was committed while Dartlny wa
state treasurer , and while his ofllco as sue :
was at the state capital.
Attorney GcLeral Smyth stated yesterda.
that It would be an easy matter to de
feat this move on the part of the allegei
defaulting treasurer and hjs bondsmen , as th
supreme court had already passed on thl
point. The attorney general says the mono
Hartley Is charged In this county with ein
bezzllng , $201,884.03 , was legally on deposi
In the Omaha National bank of this city ,
state depository , and the moment It wa
unlawfully withdrawn from that bank It we
converted by Hartley to his own use , thl
constituting the offense of embezzlement
The offense was committed In Douglas ccuntj
and hence , according to the attorney general
the courts of this county have direct Juris
diction In the case.
The attorney general says this very poln
was Involved In the cane against ex-Stnt
Treasurer Hill , but suit was commenced In
the courts of Lancaster county for the very
reason now being urged by the defendant.
In the suit at bar. The supreme court held
however , that the suit should have been
commenced In the county In which the of
feneo was committed , and on this ruling tin
attorney general says he has based his actloi
In this Instance.

that there Is n , plentiful supply of water In
that portion of the city , and It Is also shown
that the water Is of exceptional purity , U Is
estimated that two or three of these wells ,
with the flow which can undoubtedly be se
cured , will supply the lakes and lagoons

tion was forced to Immediate action. It as
sailed the treasurer's ofllco In droves am
tax business way almost suspended while
the ofllco force vainly endeavored to keep
up with the r'ish. The people stood In line
until they were able to deposit their license
and obtain their receipts and then the crowi !
surged Into the clerk's office , where the re
ceipts were exchanged for braes tags , each
of which bore the number Indicated on the
receipt. Fifty tugs wcro Issued before
o'clock and the rush continued without Inter.
mission until nearly noon when the tag num.
hers had run rup Into four figures. It Is
estimated that there are upwards of 2,000
dogs In the city , however , and only about
half of these are eafo from the depredations
of the dog catcher. So the demand for tags
Is not likely to cease for at leant a couple of
days.
The dog catchers \vere started out yes
terday with a wagon and will camp on the
trail of untapged canines from now on. The
morning's raid1 was. not very profitable , only
dozen animals uoliiB roped in.

SUDDJJN DEATH OF TEAMSTER

SUSPICION THAT LEWIS DRANK POISON

Drinking ( lie Content * of a
i llottltt Koiinil lit the Old
llojd Til eider Site.
Al Lewis , a colored innn who resided on
Fourth , between Center nnd Hickory streets ,
died last Saturday under circumstances
which lead some of the people acquainted
with the cnso to think that his demise may
posolbly have been the result or poisoning.
L < ewla was a teamster In tlio gnng that Is
being employed In clearing the debris from
the old Utjyd theater site at the corner of
Fifteenth and Farnam streets. I-ast Thursday
the workmen engaged at the spot over which
Jack Woods' saloon used to bo unearthed A
quantity of bottles containing wines nnd
liquors. As soon as the flnd wns nmdo
known Foreman Case cautioned the work
men not to touch the liquid , as It was not
known what the bottles contained. As a
further precaution , he removed the force
from the place where the bottles wcro found.
Despite all this precaution , however , It Is
stated that Lewis opened one of the bottles
nnd partook of the contents. Shortly after
Lewis drove off with a load of brick. Ho
did not return with the team , and , upon
Investigation , It was learned that ho had
been taken suddenly 111. Ho wao removed
to his homo and a physician was summoned.
Despite the medical attendance , however ,
Lewis died two days later.
The physician In charge of the case did
not know the circumstances at the Doyil
theater site and therefore came to the con
clusion that the man had died from
peritonitis.

The prospective icpavlng of South Six

and the demand Is so brisk that the secre

making out the permits. The permits are In

We carry a complete line of
clothing for wheelmen from
cap to shoes from hose to

cheaper than such goods are
ever sold because we carry
them more for accommodation
than for profit. The prices
we ask hardly pay for the net
cost of kindling. But the
wheeling season doesn't last
all year and wheelmen dress
up in the walking season the
season of shirts and gloves
and dress-up suits and over
coats. Therefore , if we sell
you an outfit complete , or
part of one , for half what you
expected , you will know it's
because we want you to re
