THE OarAITA DAILY UUlli WEDNESDAY , JUXT3 20 , 1807. to RO to the hotel for breakfast , their meals being brought to them , and they were kept In the Jury room , removed from any outsldo romrminlratlon ami under strict natch by two lialllffA of the criminal court , I'arl Done and John Norberfi.

The crime tvlth which Jo"eph S Hartley was charged and on which he was tried wa ? the embezzlement of $180,101.75 , doing the jirocceda from the pale of a warrant drawn in accordance with the provMons of n law jiamcd by the legislature of 1S93. Thh legis lature passed an act providing , among nu merous other things , that the linking fund of the state should bo reimbursed for the money of that fund which bad been tied up by the fnllurc of the Capital National bonk of Lincoln , which amount the legislature found to be $1M > ,101 75. April 10 , 18:15 : a warrant was drawn on the general fund for this amount , the warrant being In the regu lar form , but Instead of being made pajable to Hartley na atatc troisurer , It wno inado payable to him Individually Hartley came to Omnha with this warrant and negotiated itR sale through the Omaha National bank , the New York correspondent of this bank taking the warrant at Its faco. The notice of the occeptaiice of the warrant wJs re ceived by the Omaha National bank April 2C , and In the meantime Assistant Cashier Hatch of the Omaha National had asked Hartley what ho should do with the pro- deeds when received. Hatch testified on the trial that Hartley told him to "open an account and pa = s It up to my credit" and the books of the Innk showed that Halch did exactly aa Hartley had told him , the full amount of the warrant appealing on the books of the bank on April 26 to Hartley's personal credit These same books of the Omaha Notional bank showed that Hartley waa In the habit of earning an enormous balance to his personal credit at all times , thin balance sometimes tunning as high as $250,000 It was also shown by these books that the personal account of Hartley had lii-en clewed temporarily a short time before this warrant was ! > old and the full amount of the warrant was checked out of the bank within n few month * after the credit was made , the greater part "of the money being transferred to the First National bank of Lincoln , which was not a Htate depository at that time. From hero It was Impossible to trace the money , the defense only being able to produce checks which It alleged ac counted for ? riO,000 of It , these being checks distributing that amount among MX banks In different parts of the state which were slate depositories The records of the treasurer's olllco , however , did not show any entry of this amount , which , according to the claim of the defense , was transferred from Bart- loy'ri personal account. WAUHANT CONVimTHD INTO CASH. Just before Hartley went out of offlce , his term expiring January G , 1897 , he called In this wariant and It was sent to the Omaha National bank for collection. Hartley wan In the Omaha National bank when he drew a check upon the general fund of the state for the pajmcnt of the \varrint and accrued interest , amounting to ? 201.884 05 The treas urer's books showed till * entry Hartley's deputy testifying on the- witness stand that lie nude the entries at Dnitley's dictation Just before the letter's term of office ex pired. The records In the tieasurer's office do not show any iccord of ( his warrant for $180,101.75 with the exception of the war rant register , which allows that the war rant was registered for payment qn account of there being no money with which to cash It , but this register does not show the name of the payee of the warrant or of the holder , although this data Is entered regarding every other warrant pissing through the office. A part of the line of defense was that $104,000 of this money was used bj Hartley to pay for bonds of SaunderB and Otoe coun ties , which the Hoard of nducatlonal Lands and I'mids ordered him to purchase with money In the permanent school fund , Th" defense alleged that Hartley paid for these bonds out of his personal account , thereby returning to the state this amount from the amount realized on the warrant. The books of the treasurer's ofllce , however , showed that the permanent school fund had been reduced by the amount required to pay for thcso bands , and the natural Inference was that It Hartley had used his own money , as ho claimed , ho had taken an equal amount out of thu school fund of the state and bad not accounted for It. > IIAIU ) FOUGHT BATTLE. The ttlol of the defaulting ox-treasurer was ono of the most hotly contested legal battles over fought In Douglas county , if not In the state. Hartley's attorneys , T. J. Mahoncy of Omaha and C 0. Whedon of Lincoln , are admitted on all hands to bo nnimii ; the most able criminal lawyers In the state Old pr.ictltlonero at the bar were unanimous In the opinion that they had never seen a case where every step was so warmly contested as In the Hartley trial No pretext for delay known to the Intri cacies of criminal law was left untried and the Innumerable objections raised by the defense to every step In the proceedings resulted In dragging the case Into the llilul wrcK when the snmo amount of testimony , In an ordinary trial would not have oc cupied the time of the court and Jury more than three daj.j , Jt Is not too much to say that thuro were not a dozen questions asked by the prosecution dining the whole tilal which wore not objected to by the defense and nrgue.l at length. The icsult was that there was a long delay hot ween questions , and the technical points raised necessitated calling and recalling of witnesses in order to over come technical points , and this confused the testimony to ouch an extent that It was al most : in utter Impossibility for a layman to follow It In any connected manner. The multitude of book accounts Introduced by both fddes , with their hieroglyphic marks , Intelligible only to the elect , was another element which sorted to confuse the Jury , and iv hen the defense Introduced Us evidence pur porting to show what had been done with the money the whole tistlmoii ) resolved Ittelf Into on Inextricable mass of figures. 'Iho Intc-icnU of the Mate were In the hands of Attorney tlcnc-ial C J. Smjth and County Attouicy H II Daldilge , who did the active work In the caao , with Assistant Attoine ) 01 n era 1 i : . I' . Smith and Assistant County Attorney II I. Day acting In an idvUory capacity. The objections raised by the defense came with such rapidity and involved biich Important technical points of criminal procedure that the counsel ( or the itate were kept on the alert Kteplug their testimony in line and ovptcoming the oh- IcUlous raised by the other bide. So thor oughly was this done that It almost passes the comprehension of i-ome of the members of the bar who have watched the case how the defence Is going to 11 ml grounds for i motion for a new trial , every technical point having been argurd and adjudicated is thy case progressed until there seems to be nothing left to which an exception may I Tli8 Medal Medicine Is flia Model Medicine , The only niednl awarded to sarsuparillaat the World's I'air , 1893 , nt Chicago , was awarded to Ayer's Sarsapar311a0 bo taken except the Instructions of the court.

Mrs. Annie Besant , theosophlst , writer and lecturer , delivered o lecture on "Man , the Master of HH Destiny" at Crelghton theater last evening. Mrs. iDesant Is returning eastward from a tour around the world lu the Interest of the London Theosophlcal socletj. She Is accom panied on her journey by Counters Wacht- melster and Miss Anna Wilson , both prom inent loaders lu the field of modern tbeoso- phy. The tour began In this country In New York City , and the lecturer has delivered addresses before all the prominent branches of the society of which she Is a member In all thd western cities. In a conversation last evening Mrs. Hesant spoke enthusiastically of the strides which theo r-phy had taken In America and was In clined to think that the societies with the larger membership were encountered In the western portion of the new world. She Is a woman of charming conversational powers and a strong personality. In the lectuic last night she held her auditors from the opening sentences to the close In a sllenco of rapt attention. The address dealt principally with the forces mot In life which mold the character of a person. "Man Is , more strictly speak ing , a slave to destiny than Its master , " said the speaker , and she defined this assertion by giving Its logical deductions In the Influ- fcnces thrown around a human being In Its character and the circumstances surrounding its birth The evolution of plijslcal foims , mind development , and the theory of the re-Incarnation of the soul as It passed from one existence to another tn Its effort toward perfection was dwelt upon' The three funaraental laws conducing to the development of the soul were stated to bo the ) power of thought , desire , and the Influence - fluonco of our actions during an earthly ex istence upon two ll > es of others. TUe disre gard of any ot these , principles was fraught with disaster to the sttuggllng eoul as It fought for supremacy In life. The lecture concluded with a summary of the theories as advanced , by modern theoso- pblsts. HKCiivin IIY Tim AVOM.YVS CI < UH. Mrx. He-mint explains Tlic'O.sophy to the Mcmliprx. A charming reception was given yesterday afternoon by the Department of Philosophy of the Woman's club to Mrs. Annlo Besant. Mrs. Andrews , the leader ot the department , presented the women individually to the dis tinguished guewt , after which she Introduced her from the platform. Mrs. Besant's address was devoted to the scope of the Thoooophlcal society , which she said demanded assent to but one article of faith , viz : the brotherhood of man. It can have no creed , for creeds are of the Intellect and devlslvo , while spiritual life Is of the soul , whj o charncterlstlc function Is to unify. The Theosophlcal .society comes not to destroy , but to fulfil , to bring to light truths which once belonged to all icllgions , but which have been lost. Mrs , Braaut spoke with the power of deep religious feeling , com bined with logical and finished expression and at the close of her address she cleared away many a mystery of theoaophy In her answers to the questions which came from every quarter. Icefrrshments were served at 5 o'clock by Mrs. Damon , Mrs Strawn and Mrs. Berry , and the young women assisting were Mlsj Squlrca , Mlos Byrne , Miss Damon and Mies Horglum. i IIYMKNRMi.

LINCOLN , June 22 ( Special ) The as sessment abstract as made up from the re ports sent to the stele auditor front the va rious counties of the state plainly showa pome of the Ineeiunlltles possible under our present assessment system. Tor Instance , the abstract of 1896 does not Indicate that a single bicycle was asse-ssed , while the money Invested Jn bicycles In this state Is becoming something Immense. H Is said that last yenr In some parts of the stole bicycles were as sessed , but that they were not lifted under n separate heading because the blanks did not Include bicycles In the printed titles. In Lancaster coJity , however an attempt to as sess the wheels was made last jear , the schedules being remodeled for that purpose. The result was that from the countiy pre cincts elxty-sU bicycles , valued at $605 , were reported for taxation , vvhllo In the city of Lincoln 238 were found , valued at $3,144 In the Fifth ward seventy-one blcjcles wcie found , whlb this year the assessor failed to find a single Wheel In that ward The wheel men ot Lincoln boast that there are 6.000 bicycles In the city and none ot them would bo willing to estimate the average value at less than $50. . . . , Another curious thing shown by the ab stract Is that last year there weie but J1J.515 wotth ot diamonds and Jewelry In the entire state , and of this $8,041 was from Kearney county alone , Indicating that that county owned almost one-half ot the total amount of diamonds aud Jewelry In the state. The val uation on the same Items In Douglas county was only $4,824 , and In Lancaster county only $045. Dakota county had no watches or clocks , no diamonds and only seventeen sewing machines , valued at $09. In Keith county there were forty-one watches ana clocks , valued at SI cents each , vvhllo Colt.vc timepieces valued county contained forty-four ued at $294 Hlchardson county , one ot tue wealthiest In the state , shows only about $1G,000 deposited In banks , while In some other counties not a dollar Is shown , and ap parently no bank stock Is owned by citizens of the counties absessed.
