ml
a. half ago that the governor vvao out
In a long open letter to the public replying
to charges which hail been made against him
by Churchill and Uussell that he had tried
to obstruct the Investment of the school
fund , in which he took positive giouml that
ft was not only the right liut
the duty of the state board to
purchase all of the bonds of nolvcnl
counties that might be offered on terms equal
to or better than the ibcst that could
bo seemed on the open maiKet. In pursuance
of this policy Governor Holcumb prcssiucd
resolutions for the Investment of the .schooi
fuml in United States bonds , which were
then quoted In the neighborhood ot 118 , and
instated that there was no dllllcultj whatever
In paying the premiums required to secure
them. That part of the governor letter
Avhlch rclatts to this subject In the light of
the now turn taken by the state board pre
sents aomo verj Interesting reading. It
was dated June , 1&9G , und Is as follows :
"I have alvvajs been of the op'ulon that
the bc-ird should purchase all Nebtaska
county boiuls * Issued , until th'.a entire fund
has been Invested , that tbeio was a mutu
ality of Intercuts between the counties issu
ing the bonds cod the state , as the Interest
earned by those Investments woultl all re
turn to the different coiintlCH for the benefit *
of the common schools I have alwii ) ex
pressed the tiellef that the board should pur
chase those bondb bearing as low rate of
interest as they could be sold for tu the
markets at par , or , In other words , that the
board should pay as much or a shade more
than other Intending purchaser1. This IB the
poaltlqn I have invariably assumed In tlio
Investment of these funds and I bcllave It
to be the ceily logical conclusion to reach.
It la the duty of the board to purchase three
bonds yielding as fair rate of Interest as
can bo obtained for the benefit ot the tem
porary school fund , but I contend that such
Investments must , be made solely with ref
erence to their fair market value and that
the board should bo ready so Icag as thli
( und lemalns uninvested to duplicate any
botm flJo offer that may bo made. Good No-
bra/ilia county bonds , as every well Informed
person knows , can be floated In the 'market
at par when drawing .from 4 to 6 per cent
Interest , and If the board obtains any of
them It will have to take them bearing
Bucli rates of Interest. The statement that
inicb. purchase * baa a tendency to reduce
the earning capacity of the school fund so
invcbted is cmtlrely unsupported , either b >
reason or experience
CONCLUSION IS REPUGNANT.
"As to the statements made and reltei-
ated In these soveial articles that a premi
um oiiinot bo legally paid out of the perma
nent school fund for this class of securities ,
I d n 10 to say that this Is , perhaps , a covert
intimation that when the test conies , If wo
should ever be nble to reach that point , a
msjoilty of the board will be of the opinion
that It is Illegal to pay a premium out ot
the permanent school fund , the logical con-
eUidlon of which would be that It la likewise
Illegal to purchase at a dlrcount , and that
wo would be. lestrlcted to the purchase of
bonds at par or obtain them from brokers
or others who might be willing to detaeh
coupons , ss has been done In the pact , In
payment of hiich picmiums.
"This pioposltlou has not only beep ad
vanced through the PICKS , but at mo'tlnga
of the board objections to the payment o
premiums out of this fund havu been made ,
nnd so far the boa'd has peislsu-atly refused
to make any offois to purchase bonJs except
by the detaching of coupons , hero a pa > -
mnnt o. ' piomlum has been iciiuncd.
"This constnotion jilv n to the law is en
tirely unwuiranted It IH ioriraiy to the
opinion of the supreme court as found in
15 Nob. page ( .85 , where It is held
that premiums may legitimately be paid out
of the permanent school fuml ; that tut true
question to be determine. ! Is whether the In
vestment of vvlutfivcr sum may bo agreed
upon is a proper ono , and that tmistlon is left
entirely to the Judgment of the Hoard of
Kducatioual Lands and Punds , nor Is there
anything In the constitution or the law pro-
hlblting the payment of a premium wherever
It may bo required. In order that this fund
may bo profitably Invested. There nai also
been established by the action of this board
heretofore , a well defined precedent for the
Investment of this fund In this manner. An
examination of the records of the Board ,
of IMucattunal Lands and Funds discloses
that heretofore In many Instances premiums
have been paid out of the permanent fund
and the bonds purchased upon an agreed
rate of Interest lower than that denominated
In the boinl. To illustrate ; February 8
1S94 , the records show that the board pur
chased $150,000 DouglaH county 4 % per cent
bonds upon a basis of 4 per cent , paying
therefor $100.893.75 from the permanent
echool fund , or $10,893.75 moro than the face
of the bomlK. Further , on Juno 5 , 1894 , the
board authorized the purchase of $17000
Nanco county bonds for $18.565 31 , to be paid
out of the permanent school fund. These
bonds dievv Interest at 5 per cent and were
purchased on a 4 per cent basis , a premium
of $1 Bfij.31 being paid therefor.
HAS BEEN THH CUSTOM.
"Nearly all other Investments obtained In
the last few jears were secured In the same
manner , and whllo the securities purchased
may exp'chs a high iato of Interest , the In
vestment In fact yields only from 4 to 5 per
cent , which Inures to the benefit of the tem
porary school fund.
"i\ceptlng a small Issue of $0,500 Valley
county 4'i per cent bonds which lay In1 the
treasury vaults for many months patiently
awaiting the action of the board finally taken ,
as shown by the records , the 3d of this
month , all bonds which have alieady been
purchased or which there appears to be any
Immediate prospect of securing , unless dif
ferent methods are pmsued than those now
employed , have been , alioady mentioned. It
I ? proper to remark here that the $100.000
Saunders county bonds the purchase of
which has been BO vociferously announecd ,
are not to bo Issued during the pre nt year ,
and at the rate this fund Is Incieaslng there
should accumulate In the state treasury be
fore the first of the year an amount sufllclent
to purchase them without regard to the
fund noft on hand There was also a motion
adopted at one of the meetings of the board
to purchase about $30,000 of the outstanding
state relief bonds , provided they draw -1 per
cent Intel est , hut whether the party holding
thoao bonds will part with them at this rate
la , BO far as I am Informed , problematical
awl very uncertain. Likewise a motion In
structing the treasurer to purchase $3r > ,000
llojd county bonds , adopted April 18 , 189G ,
does not insure the early employment of that
amount of the state's idle school fund. As
far as I am informed , no further steps have
been taken In the matter.
"Dy reference to a rcpoK made to the state
legislature and contained In the Nebraska
House Journal of 1893 , which should bo ex
amined by all persons Interested In this sub
ject , It will bo seen that but o very small
proportion of the bonds then held as on In
vestment for this fund bearing a higher rate
of Interest than 5 per cent were purchased
at par \alue. U will bo noticed that of < he
amount expended for bonds up to that time
a very largo percentage were bonds bearing
not over 5 per cent or were purchased at a
premium , paid cither In cash or by clipping
coupons for accrued Interest or premiums.
"Tho above are but fair illustrations of the
methods employed In the purchase of these
bcods and , whllo It may be stated that bonds
now held draw even RS high as 10 per cent
Interest , It should bo remembered Umt
premiums Imvo been already paid very
greatly lowering the rate ot Interest , and
that largo amounts ot these bonds have here
tofore been purchased at a rate as low OB
4 per cent.
PllKSRNT INVESTMENT DESIRED.
"What irdeslred Is the pres'nt Investment
of these funds and not contracts to Invest
It at some remote or uncertain period la the
future. Such agreements to purrhuao do not
Insure the Investment of this Idle fund , for
large sums are constantly being paid ! n

I1IMCTALLIO PLANS.
A meeting of the executive committee o
the "bimetallic union" was held at the oJ
flco of the state oil Inspector at the stall
house today. These present were Chalrmni
D. U. Gregory , Secretary Edmlsten , Treas
urer Dlgoloft , War > vlck Saunders and t
number o state officials nnd deputies. Th <
matter of holding a btato convention was dla
eusscd and an adjournment was taken untl
December S , when definite action will b <
taken toward holding the state meeting. Ii
Is understood that the "blmetalllsts" an
not all agreed on the advisability of attempt
Ing to hold a state convention. Some o !
them argue that Inasmuch as the sllvci
forces are now practically merged Into one
political party the mission of the "bimetal'
lie union" Is ended and to keep It up wouli
mean to have two organizations of the sarui
fusion party. Others hold that the "union1
Is necessary to keep the fusion forces frorr
splitting up and oven go GO far as to suggesl
that It take the place of the three sllvci
parties , and the conventions of next year bt
called by the "union" Instead of by the tlnet
separate political organisations. They dc
not believe that fualon can bo effected uudei
three party names next year. The Decembei
meeting will bo held in order to get a full
expression on these questions.
Papers were presented to Governor IIol-
comb today by an olllcer from Tennessee , foi
the purpose of taking Caleb S > kes fron
Omaha to Nashville , to answer the charge ol
breach of trust and larceny. Sykea is a mu
latto , who some time ago got into financial
dimculties at Nashville and. left there foi
Omaha , where he has lately been arrested
W. F. Gurloy , accompanied by the wife ol
Sykcs , was with the governor today asking
that the requisition papers be not honored
because of ccitaln errors in the papera am ]
also because there was danger that SyKes
would be Ijnchod should he be taken bacli
to Nashville. The governoi gave the mattei
an extended hearing , but concluded that the
papers were all right and honored the requi
sition. Mr. Gurley said ho should begin
habeas corpus proceedings as soon as ho ie-
turned to Omaha and thus prevent the Im
mediate return ot the prisoner to Tennessee.

Nmv YOUK , Nov. 27 Thcro Is every
probability that the cnso of Martin Thorn ou
trial for the murder ot William Utildonsppo
will go to tlio Jury not Inter than WcilnrsJny
Host , nnd probably Tuesday night. Wllllnm
K. Howe , hla law j or , hm promlssd to nnloli
his sldo of the case on .Monday , Thorn wilt
testify in his own behnlf ami accuse Mrs
Nnck of klllliiR OuUlcnsunpe. Other wit
nesses for the defense will probably bo Mrs.
SCelglfr ofvcst l-'arms , of whom it Is alleged
Mrs. Nnek , with auldcnsuppo. wanted to lilro
a house , the negotiations falling because the
house did not have n sewer , and Herman
Naclc , Mrs. Xnck'g husband. It Is a nuos- f
tlon whether Nock will be allowed to tfstlCy
against his wife when she la put on trial for
her life.
It Is understood that nftcr the defense U
closed Mrs. Nnck will bo called by the
prosecution on rebuttal to repeal her con
fession accusing Thorn of the murder.
District Attorney Youngs did not wnnt to
put Mrs. Nock on the stand because she
made an unfavorable Impression on the Jury
at the first trial as she related the details of
the crime. If Mrs. Nack Is called again as a
witness of the state It will bo because the
district attorney Is compelled to take this
course to offset the statement of Thorn when
ho charges her with Uio Killing.
STATEMENT 1)Y ) TUOKN.
The following statement signed by Martin
Thorn Is published In an e\euliig paper to
day :
"When I go to the stand , Monday morning
I will tell tlio true and couiIcto | story of the
crime for which I am now being tiled for
m > life. My lawjer has advised mo to con
ceal nothing and with the help of God 1 will
not.
"Martin Thorn Is Just a man , with \lces
and virtues like any other , and with the lo\o
of life Just as strong within him as In any
of those who say ho sinned because ho lo\ed
an unworthy woman ; lo\ud and trusted anJ
shielded her until he was In the \ery shadow
of the electric chair ; loved her until she
swore < u\a > his existence to save her own ,
to sa\o heroalt from the ccnisequcncos of her
own act the killing of the man whom she
feared because of his knowledge of other
crimes
"Augusta Nock planned anil accomplished
the murder of William Ouhlensuppe.
"When I got to the Woodsldo cottage tint
Saturday mornlni ; she met mo at the door
and said : 'I ba\o got Guldensuppc up stairs.
Ho Is dead ' She had shot him In the fueo
and stabbed him In the breast , she said I
was not oven in the house at the time , but In
the doorway , and she was out of sight of the
pccplo on the street at Uie time , half way up-
stahs. I Knew nothing of her purpose that
day. She had asked mo to come to Wood-
side. I went there , and when I arrhed she
told me that she had killed Guldcnsllppe , aud
that all her trouble was o\cr.
'Tor n long time I hardly knew what to
do. Mrs. Nack asked me to help her cut the
body up. I hesitated , but could nut make
up my mind.
HELPED CUT UP THE nODV.
" 'You ha\o got to lielp me get rid of It , '
she said , 'or both of us will get Into trouble
All jou have got to do Is to help. " At Inst
I helped her to carry the body to the bathtub
It was \ery heavy. Guldeusuppo was dead.
Ho was not breathing when we put him In
the bathtub. Mrs. Nack did the cutting
whllo I held the body. First she cut the
head off. then she tooK the saw and tawed
the trunk In two and then the legs. She was
afraid the saw would go through the wrong
place In the bed ) , but she finally got the
right place. She mentioned at the time -that
It was a good thing tbe Knew something
about surgciy , or else It would be Impossible
to get rid of the body properly. Defore she
cut the body up the clothes wcie taken off.
Afterwards the body was lolled up In the
oilcloth bought at 'Mrs. ' HIger's. Then wo
talked o\er thn plans to get rid of the body.
She airaugej for the sunej drive and tun
throwing away of the pieces.
"She ga\e mo the money to hire the
"uirey. She ga\o mo the money to hire the
Woodside cottage , whcie she eald she was to
start a place to treat women who weic In
trouble and who wanted it kept quiet.
"After wo thiow the head into the rher
and disposed of pieces of the body , as the
papers li > i\o elated , she took Gutdensuppe'a
clothes and burnctl them In a stove
"It was nothing but my loxo for Mia
Nack that got ino Into all this ( rouble I
helped her to got rid of the dead boclj to
shield her and to save her fiom being or-
rosted. Eveiybody has lied about mo In
