ATTORNEYS STRIKE A SN'AG
At the afternoon session of the court the
attorneys struck n snag and after the first
hour little progress was made
On the convening of court Expert Ac
countant Wottllng went upon the stand and
further detailed the credits to which Henrj'
Bolln was entitled during his first term of
ofllco as city treasurer , thej being the dis
bursements during the two jears. He pre
sented a summary , of which the following Is
a oopy.
"Wirraifa piid $3.004X1 9C

Total „ . $4.899.271.49
The summary having been introduced in
evidence the attorneys for the city next of
fered in evidence the bank balance books
kept in the city treasurer's office during the
two jearn of Bolln's first term To this offer
the bondsmen objected and arguments fol
lowed , consuming the entire time until the
adjournment of court.
The nttornejs for the city contended that
they offered the bank balance books for the
purpose of showing the amount of money that
Bolln had in the national banks of the city ,
the depositories designated by the city coun
cil , at the end of his first term.
Attornejs for the beadsmen insisted that
these bocks were not public records and that
for this rej sou were not admUsa.'ble in evi
dp ace contending that the books of the
icks ! a which the money was on deposit
at the time were the bast evidence They
urged that these balance books constituted
secondary while the books of the banks
would be primary evidence. The contention
was also made that the bank balance book !
were not accurate , In this that thej- did not
bow the exact amount of money on deposit
and that they were not books kept by Bolln
or anj etcploje of his office , but , Instead ,
were made up by clerks in the several
banks in which the money was kept They
Insisted that the books did not show the ex
act transaction * as they occurred and were
fa so to the extent of from $20,000 to
$40,000.
WOULD EXPLAIN' DISCREPANCIES.
The attorneys for the city argued that If
there were Inaccuracies la the bank balance
books , such Inaccuracies would be explained
to the satisfaction of the court and jury
when reached. They also urged that -while
eucb books might not be such records as
are designated by the lawa of the state and
the city charter , they were books that were
nccesstrj in the office in order to show the
balances on bend.
The court took a hand id the argument
and dUcussedi the proposition , Eajlcg that
anile he recognized the fact that the books
were not required by any provision of lawt
he waa of the opinion that they were ncc-
egsarj- and proper and In some respect !
would b regarded as a public record.
The hour for adjourrment havingarrlvet
end the arguments being uncompleted , the
court took a recess until Monday morning
t 9 30 o'clock In the meantime the jury
will be under the direction of the bailiff
The twelve men will be kept together anc
will be walked about the city that they
may have some exercise When not BO ex-
prclilcg they will .be locked In their room ,

REVIEW OP THE STOCIC M VHKET.

NEW YORK , Nor 10 Bradstreefs re-
\iew of the stock market will say.
Dullness has pre\ ailed in the stock mnr-
ket this week , but there Is a decidedly
better feellnc , and prices have impnned
all around The most conspicuous feature
was the strong undertone of speculation.
Bearish operators w ere unable to make any
impression on prices , and at declines stocks
seemed to find support although there was
little \ldence of active manipulation by
large operators or bj bull cliques London
sold our stocks during the early part of the
week , but later bought to a slight extent
Commission houses were not acthe , and
the market was dependent in the main
upon professional operators.
The latter class has , howe\er , shown
a disposition to work for the time being
on " the bull side , and the prevalent ilew
in "Wall street H that the market Is llkelj
to remain dull , but without any -very
marked declines , until the meeting of con
gress , when its course will be decided bj
the character of the president's message
and the attitude of the national legislature
touurd the currency and Cuba
It should be mentioned that the change
for the better In the Cuban situation , so
far as the relations of the United States
and of Spain are involved therein , is gen
erally credited with being the principal
cause of the Improvement in speculate e
feeling.
A noticeable feature of the general finan
cial situation Is the large demand for high-
grade investment bonds The market for
such securities is exccptlonallj strong at
pres-ent , and It is understood that con
siderable amounts of bonds answering to
this description are constantly coming this
way from London , foreign holders being
Induced to sell them by the higher prices
The arrangements by which the Union
Pacific payments will be carried out with
out any risk of disturbing ! the money mar
ket creates a favorable impression , but
can hardly be gold to hate exercised any
speculative Influence.
Sugar was the most Important feature of
the share list The chief influence in con
nection with the stock was the expected
decision in regard to counter\ ailing duties
on refined sugars Imported from Holland
Some attention was also paid to the re
port that the governments of continental
Europe are negotiating with a view to the
general abolishing of sugar bounties.
Among the granger stocks Burlington at
tracted the greatest attention The coal

peal and nhich concerns several South Omaha
parties. The action was brought u > Peter
Head against Jacob Levy and others to re-
cc-ver for an illegal attachment Hsued by
Jacob Levy \\hen ho was justice of the peace
In his opinion Commissioner Hag.in takes
cx-tasion tu tr.Uc'c'e the manner in which
justice is dispensed in South Omaha. He
sajs Tns record re\eals a condition o ! af
fairs calculated to bricg into disrepute the
administration of justice. It appears that
the suit of Hair against Head -was brought
before the justice of the peace on January
24. 1S93 , and on that datu the justice Issued
an order of attachment against Head's prop
erty ; but the affidavit for this attachment
was not made until three dajs later , and no
undertaking in attachment papers appears
to hate e\er been executed Co Januarj
27 Head made an application for a change
of venue , and on that day and after such ap
plication was made , or the justice knew it
was about to be made , a subpoena was Iseued
for three witnesses named therein The jus
tice's filing mark on the back of the eub > oena
shows that it was returned and filed on Jan
uary 2C , or the day before it was issued
The plaintiff in the action makes a so-called
afSdaUt on the back of this subpoena that h °
had sened the same. This is signed on Jan-
uer > 27 but there is noenue to the affidavit
The record leads to the conclusion that this
justice of the pcace issued an order of at
tachment against a citizen of the state w ith-
out an undertaking in attachment having
been executed After the defendant made
application for a change of lenue the justice
conspired with the plaintiff and Issued a sub
poena for three witnesses , not one of whom
is ihown to have known anj thing about the
pending case who were in a saloon near b > ,
for the expr ss purpose of increasing the
costs which Head would have to pa > in order
to obtain this change ofvenue. . This was an
act of malfeasance for which , this justice of
the peace ought to be Impeached , if not prose
cuted criminally One other thing in this
record requires attention at our hands. Head
supported his application for a change of
% enue on the ground of bias and prejudice
against him of the justice Levj , but in this
"ame affidavit he swore that h = could not
have a fair and impartial trial before either
one of the tnomj seven justices in Douglas
county In making this affidavit Head com
mitted perjury , and if his counsel advisfd
him to make this affidavit he should be , dis
barred. It is not usual for this court to In
dulge in strictures such as the foregoing , but
this record discloses a practice that would
put to shame the administration of justice
