NEW TOIlK , Nov. 19. The trial of Martin
Thorn for "the murder of Guldcnsuppc was
cloned tonight BO far as the taking of evi
dence was concerned. Tomorrow morning the
lawyers for the defendant and the people will
sum ut > and It Is expected that Justice Madder -
dor will choree the jury early In the after
noon. Mr. Hcwe will begin his flnal appeal
In Thorn's behalf at 9:30 : and he expects to
conclude before noon. District Attorney
Youngs will then have his f.ay for the prose
cution and ho expects to finish wlthla two
hours. It Is not expected that the charge
of Justice Maddox will bo very lengthy , so
that by 3 o'clock In the afternoon the case
may he with the jury.
Opinions , both lay and legal , differ very
materially us to the probable result. Many
look for a conviction , but a greater number
anticipate a disagreement. A few of Thorn's
former employers were called by the defense
today and they all gave the accused barber
aa excellent character dating back some ten
years. Thorn himself was the only other
witness called for the defense. From the
moment he was led to the witness chair until
he left It , some lours later , the prisoner con
ducted himself In u cool and Impressive man
ner. Hie statements In reply to general
question ? , and his answers in the direct and
cross examinations , were delivered in a mod
erate tone of voice , which could be heard
eid
distinctly ! by all In the court room. At times
his voice would drcp so that he could not
be heard a few feet away , but Mr. Howe
reminded the witness at these times that he
, hould speak louder , and those admonitions
always had the desired effect.
ACCUSES MRS. NACK.
Thorn , In his story of the murder , dcllbcr-
ntely accused Mrs. Nack of having shot Gul
densuppe , and declared that when he ( Thorn )
reached the Woodside cottage between 11 and
12 o'clock on Friday , June 25 , the woman
met him ut the door aad told him that Gul-
densucipe was Ij-ing dead upstairs and that
"he had shot and killed him. This , Thorn
said , was the first Intimation he had of the
purpose for which Mrs. Nack had rt" > ted
: he Woodside cottage. Up to that moment
had understood she uas going toRstart a
baby farm there and that he was to live with
her and share the profits.
He described In detail how , utter Mrs.
Nack had begged of him to help her get rid
oT the body he accompanied her to the
room oa the second floor , where he found
GuldecBuppe lying on his side , dead , from a
bullet wound , In the right eide of the head.
Mrs. Nack told him that she had carried
the revolver In her hands , covered by a
handkerchief , and. . that as Guldeneuppe wat ,
looking iato a closet she shot him In the
side of the head. Thorn then said he went
out and bought two pounds of plaster of
paris , at Mrs. Nack's direction , nnd returned
with it shortly afterwards. This was about
noon. When he got back to where the body
lay 1 , Mrs. Nackwas etill there , and he helped
her 1i 1I I undreEB the corpse. Between that they
carried i the body to the bath tub , and Mrs.
Nack cut it Into five pieces. She first cut
the head from the truck with the aid of a
knife a-nd taw. Then she severe ! the trunk
and boasted of her knowledge of anatomy
while so doing. Then she severed the legs ,
using ' the knife and a caw. The knife looked
like ! a butcher's knife. It was not a Btllletto
or i dirk knife.
COVERING UP THE TRACKS.
Mrs. Nack , according to the wltnces , re-
malned there all the day uctll 4 o'clock In
the afternoon , when fcbc went out to get some
fresh air , ss It WSE very warm end sultry
in the house. Albout S o'clock ehe returned
and then , she carrying a bundle containing
the murdered man's clothes , end the piste" ,
eaw and kalfe. and he with the head In a
parcel under his arm left the bouse acd
took a trolley car to Ninety-secoad
Btrest ferry to New Tori ; . From the ferry
boat he dropped the head into the Ecet
river , and when they reached New York
ehe went to her roomg on Ninth avenue ,
und burned the clothet , la a cooking stove.
Tht > next day the rest of the body was made
up Into three parcels and disposed of in the
manner which Mrs. Nack stated at the lust
trial.
In rebuttal three -wltncssee swore that they
had seen Mrs. Nack In her rooms in New
York between 2:30 : nod 4 o'clock oo the aft
ernoon of June 25 , an ! Mrs. Waliey eaid
that she had fceea Mrs. Nack leave the cot-
tage about twenty minutes after 6he and
the man with the light suit had entered.
The prosecution did not put Mrs. Nack on
the stand , aud the court ruled against Mr.
Howe's attempt to Introduce the testimony
given by Mrs. Nack at the mifc-trlal.
Beginning with the statement that he came
to America seventeen years ago , the 8-
8e
oner Bald his real name was Forceewlky. He [
brlelly related the facts of his life up to the .
tlm lie met Mrs. Nack , eighteen months'
iss.
030. Guldensuppe wee boarding with Mrs.
Nucl ; at the time.
"I rented u furnlphed room from her at
J2 a week , " said Thorn. "Later I under
stood Guldeiisuppe was her husband. She
flnst made love to me , and I returned her
love. I was very fond of her , and loved her
up to the moment she took the witnesu stand
on my first trial. "
START OF THE TROUBLE.
The prisoner then told how he supplanted
the both rubber In Mre. Nack's affections aud
described the row he had with Guldensuppe ;
lu consequence last February. During this
row Guldensuppe caught hold of him. Thorn
held a revolver , which went off accidentally.
Then Guldensuppe took the pistol from him
and gave him a beating. The prisoner left
the house and went to a hospital. Mrs. Nack
met him afterward very often , and they went
to places of amusement. She said ehe was
sorry that Guldensuppe had hurt him but
that bo must not heed that. Thorn , at the
suggestion of his counsel , then told In bU
own wuy what Mrs. Nuck had said to him
afterwards. The court directed Mr. Howe
not to lead the wttui'se ,
.
"Mrs , Nack told me , " said Thorn , "that
ehe wished to leave Guldcneuppe and wlbhed
to live in some quiet place. We vluited the
.
Woodelde cottage nnd ns It seemed suitable '
place , we hired the cottage. I paid the JIB
and got the key . On the 21th of June J
.
gave the key to Mrs. Nnck , as ehe said Ehe
wanted to do some cleaning tt the cottage. '
About 11 or 12 o'clock on Friday moraine.
jf'
June 25 , Mrs. Nack met me at the door. She
"I hue Qullcuauppe upstairs , ' I
her what he wns dolnc there. She replica ,
He le dead , 1 shot him. ' She ttien requested
roe to help her to dispose ol the body. I
went upstairs and helped tb undress the
body. Then we carried U it > lie bathtub. 1
went out nnd bought some piaster of
parls. When I csmo back ehe be
gan cutting up the body. She cut
the bead off with a knife. When she
reached the luck of the neck she cut through
that portion -with a small saw. Then she
cut through the middle of the body and when
I asked her why the out eo she replied : 'I
know enough ont to cut through the bowels. '
Next day she cut off the legs , after which
she went out for awhile , an It WBE very warm
In there. On her return we encased the head
in the planter ot parls.
THREW HEAD IN THE RIVER.
"We brought away the dead man's clothes
In a bundle and 1 carried the head In another
bundle. The saw , knife and revolver were In
the bundle with the clothes. We took the
car to the Ninety-second street ferry , over
which we crossed to New York. I threw the
head overboard while the boat was crossing
the river. Then we went to Mrs. Nack's
house on Ninth avenue , where she burned
the clothes In the cooking stove. "
The witness then told of the surrey ride
on the following day , Saturday. June 2G , and
the disposition of the other portions of the
remains , which were wrapped up In oil cloth ,
cheesecloth and paper , which Mrs. Nack had
nurchaseJ prior to her vlsjt to the cottage on
June 2,1. the day of the killing. Thorn told
of his meetings with the woman after thin
and how Mrs. Nack .made preparations to go
to Europe. Mrs. Nack met him on Tuesday
night , Junt 30 , and the following day he
learned from the pai'ers that she had been ,
arrested. He explained his conversation with
Gotha. He said he .had told Gotha that Mrs.
Nack killed Guldcnsuppc and also told tbc
barber how the body was cut up and disposed
of. He told Gotha of his Intention to give
himself up to the police , but Gotha asked him
to wait. He gave Gotha some pawn tickets
and made an appointment to meet htm the
following night. Thorn kept his appointment
and war arrested. During his conversations
with Captain O'Brien Thorn said he told the
detective some truths and some falsehoods.
During the time he was Hiving this dirct
testimony Thora looked directly at the jury.
Ho spoke clearly and distinctly , although at
times his voice dropped tea rather low tone.
He used very good English , with only a
slight trace of a German accent. His direct
examination lusted three quarters of an hour.
Surrogate Weller conducted the cross-exam
ination. V
Thorn continued his story of the doings at t
the cottage on the day of the murder , not t
differing materially from the accounts hith
erto printed , except that -ho admitted having
lied to Captain O'Brien as to tils whereabouts
on the dcy of the killing with a view to es
tablishing an alibi. Herald'he helped Mrs.
Nack undress Guldensuppe , but heard no
groan or anything that would lead him to
believe thai he was alive while being cut up.
Mr. Weller In several ways tried to get
the prisoner tovrlto his name on a sheet
of paper. Mr. Howe flbjectcfl and was sus
tained by Justice Mutid. c. . . .
HE GAVE FALSE NAME.
As to the getting Of the keys of the cot
tage Thorn was closely questioned. He said
there were five or six keys altogether , but (
It was not shown whether there were more
than one for the street door. Thorn gave
a falEe name and business to the proprietor
of the cottage because Mrs. Nack did not
want any one to know he was living with
her. Later he said Mrs. Nack accompanied
him to the cottage the day he paid the rent.
Thorn said Mrs. Nock gave him the gold
watch nnd chain the .day nfter the killing.
It had belonged to Guldensuppe. Thorn
could not eay how Mrs. Nack ot the oil
cloth and other stuff to the cottage when
she only got the keye from him on the night
of Juno 24. She must have brought them
with her when she brought Guldensuppe to
the cottage that morning , June 2u.
He never bought any cheese cloth , and
did not tell Gotha that he did. Mrs. Nack
left ' the cottage about 4 o'clock and came
back an hour later. They then took two of
the parcels with them. Thorn then again
acknowledged that ho had } led to Captain
O'Brien when he eald he was playing
pinochle at Thirty-sixth street and Eleventh
avenue on the day of the killing. He said
that for the purpose of establishing an alibi.
He said it as much to cave the woman as
himself.
On further cross-esamlnatlon he said the
most money he ever received from Mrs.
Nack at once WOE -41E. which he paid for
rent of the cottage at Woodside. After
leaving Mrs. Nack he spent his days In New
Jersey , and only came to New York at
night.
NEVER HAD A STILLETTO.
He knew Constantine Keene and worked
with him for five weeks , but never showed
him a stllletto. He never had a stllletto ,
or dagger , Kueue Ebpwed him a stllletto ,
but witntfis never tried to buy it from him
He never Miked of .nolselces cartridges to
Keenc.
Thorn was asked regarding a letter which
was takea from him by Sheriff Doht. Thorn
had tried to destroy the letter , but the of
ficers rescued It. In it he asked Mrs. Nack
to testify ae he told her , anil be would senu
some word before the trial.
TThen you were BBBiatluE in framing the
defense ? " asked Mr. Weller.
"Yee , certainly , " wai , Thorn reply.
"And you were doing : all you could to
cover up the crime. "
"Yes , I did , ull I could,1,1 .said Thorn.
Thorn Eaid the reason he told Gotha that
Mrs. Nack committed tb'e murder wasbc -
cause he thought .hg coilld trust him as n
friend. This finished the cross-examina-
tlon.
tlon.Mr.
Mr. Howe hie
began rc-dlrect cross-exami
nation by bhowlng Thorn a telegram pur
ported to tie sent by Guldensuppe to .Mrs.
Nack. U was written ID 'German , and trans
lated it read :
"Please go to where I . .hiveworked and
tell them I will not return as I am going
traveling. A letter will follow.
"WILLIAM .GULDENSUPPE. "
{ Thorn eald he wrote 11at the request of
Mre. Nack.
RULE OUT MRS. NACK'S1 CONFESSION.
Mr. Howe tried to bring 4n part of tin
evidence of Mrs. Nack in the mlB-trlal in
reference to ber opening .the door of the
cottage when Thorn brought GuldenBvppe
there. At that time the. woman Eworo she
opened the aoor with a key which Thorn pave
her the nlgbt before. The district attorney
objected to "Mr. Howe referring to the tcs-
tlmony of Mrs. Nack , or using eoy of U
before the Jury. The court sustained the
objection.
At this time Mr , Wtller interrupted Mr.
Howe by going back to the croBB-examl-
nation , as the interpreter had .come into the
court with typewritten cojile * of transla
tlont of two letters which Mr . Nack had
written ta Thora , and one .written to her by

motive No. 890 , the eame engine with which
Engineer Thomas Grogan mode his long dis
tance run from Evunston , Wyo. . to Omaha
j last summer. The engine is an Omaha prod
j uct , and was turned out of the Omaha shcns
about six months ago. Since that time It has
done little else but break records. It was
sent out to Grand Island on Sunday night
with freight train No. ID and there was no
special preparation of equipment or men for
6 fast run.
FIVE HOURS LATE.
The rua was brought about by the delay
ol train No. 2 near Medicine Bow , Wyo. . by
the burning out of a bridge. The delay
amounted to five hours and thirty minutes.
Yesterday morning when the train pulled into
Cheyenne It was just five hours late. As it
wns necessary to have the mall In Council
Bluffs by C o'clock last evening in order to
escape the payment of a heavy line to the
I government's postal department , the two mail
cars were cut loose from the rest of the train
and orders were given from local headquar
ters "to come right along. "
With the big locomotive No. 1613 , In charge
of Engineer Reid , the two mall cars were
sent out of Cheyenne at 7:28 : o'clock , mountain
time , yesterday morning. The run to Sid
ney , Neb. , a distance of 102 mllee , was made
In exactly 107 minutes. Engines were changed
ut Sidney and several minutes lost. The mall
cars left Slfiney back of locomotive No. 841 ,
with Engineer William Stuart-at the throt
tle , nt 9:21 : a. m. , and arrived at North Platte ,
Neb. , at 11:19 : a. m. , mountain time , having
.made a run of 123 miles In 118 minutes , in
eluding a step of two minutes at Juleshurg
for the Colorado mall.
Out of North Plane the mail hustled at
12:23 : p. m. , central time , back of locomotive
No. SIC , -with Engineer Frederickson. It ar
rived at Grand Island at 2:57 : p. TO. , having
made the 138 miles in 1S4 mlautcs. This
time included a stop of three and one-half
minutce at Lexington , where there was a
stop fcr water end change of engineers. En
gineer Wihlte made .the run from Lexington
to Grand Island , seventy-seven and one-half
miles , in eighty and one-half minutes , In-
eluding a stop of two minutes at Kearney.
ALL RECORDS LAID OUT.
The run from Grand Island to Columbus
was a wonder. With the new Omaha en
gine , No. 890 , and Engineer Dickson the run
from Grand Island to Columbus , a distance of
sixty-two miles , was mace In flfty-Uree
minutes. The arriving time at Columbus
was at 3E5 : p. m. The mall was delayed at
Columbus five minutes on account of tht
bursting of a tcnk hose. The departure from
Columbus was at 4 p. m. and the arrival
at Fremont was at 4:42 : p. m. The mail got
out of Fremont at 4:44 : p. m. and went sail
ing past Valley at 4:55 : p. m. Elkhoro was
passed at 5:03 : p. m. and Papillion at 5:23 :
p. in. The run or five miles from Tapilllon
to Gllmoro was made in five minutes. .
The run of 100 miles from Grand Inland to
Amce was made In nlnety-t&ree minutes. In ,
cluding u fivfc-minuto stop ni Columbus , erin
in eighty-eight inluutes actual running time
This broke all previous records over that
strip of track. i
Engineer Dickcon now saw tbat he was
going to land the mall at Council Bluffs in
ample time to avoid the payment of uny fine
by his company and he began to slow down
There was a delay at Gllmore'by the Mib <
sourl Pacific's semaphore and toe run through
Souib Omaha and the jarte leading Into
Omaha woe mode very cautiously. It was ,
ttt'Illght , the time when most accidents hap
pen and It's hardest for engineers to see , cud
Dickson was keeping his watca out for train
No. 5 , bound west.
HESITATES ONLY AT OMAHlA.
It was just 5:42 : when the train pulled Into
the Omaha depot. Ordinarily the train come
to a full Etop to discharge and receive It
mail. But the mail was -thrown , off and tlie
tttstbound mall had been tent across the
bridge already. The train merely hepitatec
and then jumped across the big bridge aheae
of the Milwaukee express , lauding the mai
at Council Bluffs at 6:47 : o'cloci : with thirteen
minutes to spare and only twenty minute
behind schedule < time.
Engineer Dlckson , Conductor Goodrich and
the others connected with the train said tiia
a much faster run could have been mad
had there been an intention to make a rec
ord. A great deal fcE'.er time would hav
been made bad there becti four cars Instead
of two attached to the train. Wltb the short
train it wu impoislble to stop within a mile ,
and it was therefore necewary to blow down
oo approaching many -points.
With the time for the many stops taken out
the run averaged about sixty-two mlltt an
hour from Chcyonae to Council Bluffs' trans
fer.

CHICAGO. Nov. 29. The second trial of
Adolpb L. Luetgert for the murder of his
wife was called before Judge Gary today.
lUetgi-rt was represented by ex-Judge Law
rence Harmon and Attorney Max Reysc ,
Attorney Pholan having withdrawn from the
case yesterday after a heated Interview with
-uetgert nnd the now lawyers.
The court room was packed wTth Epectntors
when the rose was called. Most of the ECS-
'
pion WBK taken up by Mr. Harmon In argu-
ng that Judge Gary should not try Luetgert
on the ground that he was not qualified to
sit as a criminal judge. Judge Gary over
ruled the motion of the defense , Intimating ,
however , that he was willing that some
other judge should sit in the cage , providing
counsel for the defense could rome to an
agreement with. prosecution as to who
should hrar it. Attorneys Harmon and
Reyse held a consultation this afternoon
with State's Attorney Dcneeti with the object
of deciding on some other Jud.ge to hear the
case.
When the court reconvened at 2 p. m. the
attorneys for the defense announced that
as to a judge to hear the cnee In their con
sultation with State's Attorney Deneea. At-
orney Harmon , however , entered exceptions
to Judge Gary's overruling of his motion.
Attorney Harmon then made a motion for a
continuance of four weeks , slating that both
he and Attorney Roiso were , not prepared to
go on 'and wished to read the records of the
'ormer trial. This WOE' overruled after some
dlscusElon. Examination of talesmen was
then commenced.
It was late In the afternoon when the
task of securing a jury was entered upon ,
jut by the time court adjourned sixteen
venlremcn had been examined and two Jurors
were accepted by the state , although the
defense has etlll the privilege of rejecting
them. The two men are Thomas Bachelor , an
insurance solicitor , -who said he had only
read the headlines in the papers during the
former trial , und had absolutely no opinion
regarding the guilt of the prisoner , and
Walter J. Northam , n clerk , who said he
could give the accused u fair tilul.

reached here from the Standing Rock reser
vation that the mother of Philip Ireland ,
one of the young Indians recently lynched at
Willlarapport , has committed suicide because
of the disgraceful death of her san. There IE
a belief among the Indians that any person

that the Indians at Standing Rock wanted

States Attorney Armstrong of Emmons
county for their dismissal , Frank Black Hawk

SlivrlfT AVUllr IIU Attorney * I'rc-
linre Apitrnl to Stiiiromc
Court.
LINCOLN. Nov. 29.Special. ( . ) District
Judge Cornish this afternoon ruled agalnt
tlie motion In arrest of Judgment filed br
the attorneys Tor Eugene Moore , the cx-
audltor or etate , who pleaded guilty to tali-
Ing J23.000 worth of Insurance fees , but who
contended that lii doing no he had violated
no i : statute or the state. The motion had
brought iato question the ownership of the
money , the attorneys for Moore contending
that It was not the property of the state.
Court convened at 2 o'clock. Attorney Gen
eral Smyth ud County Attorney Mungcr
were In attendance , nnd Moore , who was ac
companied by his wife , wan also flanked by
his attorcieyK , Judge Barnes and Willis need.
Judge Cornish eald that he had given the
matter OK much time as ho could , and re
cruited that he could not have given It a.
more thorough examination. He then over
ruled the motion and said that he had writ
ten down hie reasons , which he would not
read nt that time , unless It was requested by
the attorneys.
Judge Barnes asked that the exceptions of
the attorneys for the defense might be noted
on the record , and then asked that the court
suspend the sentence until tomorrow morning
at 9 u'rlock , by which time the record could
ho ( completed and a supersedeas bond bo
presented to the supreme coifrt. as the case
would , 'be taken there for review. County
Attorney Muugcr objected to this , unless In
the mecutlme Moore he pared : In the cus
tody of the sheriff. He did not hollove the
old bond would be good after the motion
was overruled , and wanted the state to he
on the safe side. Judge Barnes differed with
him as to the bond being good and said It
was unnecessary for Mr. Moore to be taken In
charge by the ( sheriff. There was no need
of such a move , OB the prisoner -was not
going .to run away.
REMANDS 'MOORE TO CUSTODY.
Judge CornlBh said hewould grant the
application for n suspension ot the sentence
until tomorrow morning nt S > o'clock , tmt
that In the meantime 'Moore should foe placed
In the custody of the sheriff. There -wns
some doubt as to whether the old bond would
now hold good , nnd heretofore Moore hod
been given much time and many "privileges.
The judge said that lie had heard no evidence
nnd scarcely knew what sentence to Inflict ,
nd asked the attorneys -for the defense If
icy would like to be heard on the matter.
Ir. Heed said Tie did not believe they would
lave anything further to say , only he would
Ike to give notice now of the application
or a new trial , and would prepare the papers
or this application during the afternoon.
Ir. [ Munger eaid he would object to this , us
t was now too late to move for a new
rial. The matter then went over until to
morrow morning , and In the meantime
Moore was taken In charge by Deputy ( Sheriff
Jess , being , however , to all Intents and
purposes , allowed hie full liberty.
The court handed In the following an hl
cat-ons for the ruling :
Section 12J of the Criminal Code , for the
violation of which dt fondant Is guilty ,
roads as follows :
"It any officer or other 5 > er. on charged
with the collection , receipt , safe keeping ,
transfer or disbursement of the public
noney. or any part tnereof , b < longing to
the fitute , shall convert to his use or to
the use of any other In any
other way whatever * any portion
if the puMic money , received , con-
troled or held by him for safe keeping ,
iraiiHfcr or disbursement , or In nny other
wuy or manner , or for any other purpose ;
every such net Bhull be dci med und held
n law to be an embezzlement "
Embezzlement , it Is nuld , IK un offense
created by statute. ] t bus u history.
Many a guilty person charged with em
bezzlement IIUH escaped punishment he-
cause hlB particular offense was not de-
tlie statute have been enacted to cover
new classes of eases im they have arisen.
What Is the meaning of the uhove
quoted words ? To the ordinary render It
would He-cm that In them the legislative
mind was taxing Its ingenuity fii Jind
woids to cover nil possible eases of one-
who , being in the poHHefBlon of the public's
money , clothed with any sort of trust ,
shall be guilty of converting the sumu to
his own use. All words of limitation urn
omitted. All words of expansion nre in
cluded. ,
DEFINITION OF THE TERMS.
It 1 urt'ed that the defendant herein Is
Informed against us un ollluer , and that
much depends upon the mi-unlng of the
word "charged" In the statute ; that it
means ns If it said "eMurgC'd by virtue of
his ofllee , " nnd henef that unions some
constitutional requirement or Btututory
enactment can be pointed out making him
the proper collector or recipient of this
money , lie is not ummable to this Btatu'e.
I do not believe so.
At common lu\v the finder of lost goods.
If he knew whose they were , was "charged
with the Bofe keeping und trunsft-r" to the
owner , without any Htutute. und eullty of
larceny if toe did not. The Htututo fol
lowing older laws might have said
"charged by virtue of his olllce , " or Iiuve
ehnnt'ud It to "for or In the nume or on
account of , " hut It Uld not. 1 see no good
reason for not giving to the word
"charged" Its ordinary and common law
meaning. The mire possession of a thing
creates u ulmiro and duties respecting It.
One Is ollicially charged In the broi\deat
sense whenever good ponduet of un oltlcer
requires him to do u thlngi ; on the other
hand , there is u sense In which no wrong
uct of an ottleer Is oftlclul. For Instance ,
If one believing that a cortuln officer Is
empowered to receive u certain fund so
approaches 1itm for that purpose , when In
fuel he 1 not the proper officer to receive
It , then the oJlluer- may pursue one of two
or more courses. He may refuse to re
ceive it , o Informing the person , or. If
alreudy In his ibunda , lie may refuse to ro-
taln It. eo notifying1 the person , or If belns
HO treated as un officer he does retain It ,
then It ut once becomes hi * official duty
to see thut the fund. Jinfls its proper j > l jq.
