I The Introduction of testimony In the case
ot til ? city of Omalia against the bondsmen
of Henry Bolln , ex-city treasurer , was re
sumed-yesterday morning. This Is Iho fourth
[ week of the trial and the end U not yet In
rtght , the attorneys for the defendants sayIng -
Ing that they have a number ot witnesses to
call , whllo itho legal representatives for the
city maintain that they will have a number
of witnesses In rebuttal ,
Harry Tlbko was the first witness called
today ; Ho was on the stand. last Friday for
the defense , but this morning ho was called
bythe state and asked concerning Uio pass
fcoolc that Bolln oirrled , and In which were
tntored the deposits made In the Citizens'
bank during his first term. The witness
identified the book , having seen It In the
tank. None of the entries , however , were
tnfldb by him , ho having been the balance
took clerk , through \\fooso hands deposits
did not pass. TJO pass book entries , witness
sold , wcro made by W. R. Roberts , cashier
of the bank.
The pass book offered In evidence contains
entries showing that Bolln deposited money
In the bank , but makes no reference to the
fund to which the money was chargeable.
The cover ot the book hcara these words :
"Henry Bolln , Treasurer of the iBoard of
Education. "
Attorney Mahoney for the bondsmen contended
" Bolln" and t-no
tended that the name "Henry
( words "Treasurer of the Board of Educa
tion , " wcro written by different parties and
at different times.
STARTS A NEW LINE.
The second witness of the morning was
.W. J. Wclshans , clerk to the Fire and Po
llco commission ot the city of Omaha. Wit
ness went upon the Bland , having with him
itho records of the office , showing the liquor
licenses Issued during the months of Janu-
uary , February and March , 1894. Ho testi
fied that of the applications seventy-one
( were approved during the months icfcrred to.
llhoy. however , having been filed prior to
January 1 , 1894. The witness testified that
the books showed that the money accom
panying the appllcatlon.1 had 'been paid into
the offlco of the city treasurer at the time
of the filing.
City Attorney Council said that ho had ut >
tieslro to cross-examine the witness , as the
utito conceded that this money testified to
( bad 'beenpaid ' to Bclln as city treasurer.
The defense did not disclose the purpose
ot the testimony of Clerk Wclshans. Expert
Accountant Doollttlc , for the bondsmen ,
however , stated that It waste show that
money received by Dolln In the capacity
of o private citizen had been charged against
the bondsmen , simply for the reason that
it ihad not 'been ' accounted for In a settle
ment with the city. Expert Doollttlo was
cot on the witness stand , however , when
bo made this statement. Continuing , ho
( said : "These saloon men paid their monej
over to Bolln and then they applied for
their licenses. The books show that he re
ceived $71,000 from such saloon men for
licenses that were granted In 1894. Thla
money Is charged against the first term
bondsmen , when as a matter of fact they
had no more to do with the responsibility
of that money than a stranger to Do In and
the bond. "
MAHONEY TRIES AGAIN.
During the morning William A. Paxton"
ono of the first term bondsmen , was recalled -
called by the defense and again was ques
tioned relative to the amount In the Justi
fication to the Bolln bond and also with ref
erence to the sum sot opposite his name
ftt tha place where ho signed the docu-
tnont.
City Attorney -Connell objected to the
Witness answering , urging that It was an
effort to change the terms ot a. written in-
Btrument by the offer of parole evidence He
Insisted that It made no difference what the
understanding of a bondsmen might be. If
no signed for a certain amount hewas In
duty bound to pay that amount In the event
of a dcfalcatloni or a shortage In the accounts
of the office.
Judge Slabaugh sustained the objection ,
Whereupon Attorney Mahnney made his rec
ord by excepting to the ruling of the court ,
toying that iho expected to show by witness
that when ho and others signed the Bolln
oouna inero was an understanding that In
BO event was a bondsman to bo "llablo for
more than the sum set opposite his name.
Mo also said that ho expected to show by the
Witness that there was an understanding
( among the bondsmen that In the event of a
Chortngo upon the ixirt of Bolln each bonda-
iroan was to bo hold for such proportion of
the shortage as the amount for which he
clgncd l > ere to the eum total ot the bond.
The 'bond ' was for the sum of $1,400,000 ;
( Paxton signed for $50,000 , and the shortage
cs claimed' by the state aggregates some
$85,000.
After the. ruling of the court the other
Ibondsmon were called as witnesses and each
In turn was asked tols understanding with
reference to the bond. Each man was asked
the Fame question as those propounded to
[ Patton. The same objections were made by
City Attorney Connell and the'.samo rulings
[ Were made by the court.
WETTL1NG IS RECALLED.
Expert Accountant Wettllng was called by
the defense and questioned concerning the
IJoird of Education funds that Bolln had
on hand in the banks ot the city at the end
of his first term as city treasurer. Witness
aald that there was the sum of $88,89C.28
In the regularly designated depositories and a
eraallcr um In other banks , Attorney
Mahoney asked the witness In which the
alleged surplus of $10,000 , referred to during
the cirly stages of the trial , was deposited ,
.To the answering ot the question the at
torneys for the city objected , contending
that It wa Immaterial whether or not there
was a surplus ot board funds , so far as the
Issues of the case on trial were concerned ,
Judge Slabaugh held that It was material
to ihow which wcro school and which were
city funde.
Peter E. Elsabser , an ex-city councilman ,
fata called as a witness. Ho said that ho
( was a member ot the council at the date of
the approval of Bolln'B first official -bond as
city treasurer. At that thno ha understood
that the bondsmen were liable for the
mounts set opposite their respective namco ,
but for no more. As an Illustration , he
understood that Paxton was liable for no
jnoro than $50,000 , though ho might have
qualified for a much larger eum. Ho undor-
Btood that If there was a defalcation , Paxton
could not bo held for more than the sum
( or which ho had guaranteed to pay.
EX-TRUASURER RUSH TESTIFIES.

that ho utcd R8 a tails In settling with the
Board of Education at the time of surrender-
the office of city treasurer to his uc-
censor , Henry Dolln , tl the beginning of the
year 1892. The sheet showed that Bolln re
ceived the sum of $ ,4S9.2l board money ,
after making alt deductions and Additions.
Witness had made an examination ot Bolln's
books , having been employed In this work
by the defendants. He testified that ho
found that Uolln had charged himself with
$31.97 too much when he opened his account
with the city , and had carried the error
along several months before It was cor
rected. As city treasurer , witness turned
over to Uolln the sum of J630 , received from
druggists on applications to sell Intoxicating
llquots , The books of the city treasurer's
omco , witness testified , showed that from
January 6 , 1892 , to December 30 , 1893 , (1,430
-was received from , druggists on applications
for permits.
Witness Hush presented a schedule. In
which ho figured the Doird ot Education's
share ot the regular tax collected during
Dolln's first term as city treasurer , as ap
portioned to the board. He made the amount
$101,603 , whllo Wcttllng , the city's witness ,
had computed the amount at $101,962.53. Mr.
Hush said that he , assisted by Expert Doo-
llttle , another expert accountant for the
bondsmen , had obtained their figures by goIng -
Ing through the report ot Bolln submitted
to the secretary of the board , and not from
the office of the city treasurer.
At this point the schedule offered by Mr.
Iluahwas - offered In evidence and was ob
jected to by Attorney Connell , who main
tained that the books of the treasurer's omco
nnd not the reports In the ofilco of the Hoard
of Education furnished the best evidence.
Before a ruling of the courts was had , the
offer was withdrawn , after which Mr. Rush
presented a list chawing the school warrants
paid out ot the city cash drawer -during
Dolln'fi first term. The footings showed $28-
81C.26 for the first year and $122,547.13 for
the second year , making a total ot $151,302.39
paid during the term. Asked where he got
his data for nmklntf the foregoing computa
tions , witness said that be obtained It from
the cash book of the city treasurer's offlco.
BOLLN MADE NO SEPARATION.
After Investigating the records of Bolln'B
office , witness said that he was unable to
ascertain If nny division of city and Board
of Education funds had been made by Bolln.
Ho thought that there was no actual separa
tion of the moneys of the two corporations.
Along the line of the testimony of Mr.
Uush , Mr. Wettllng had previously testified
that according to the schedule made by him ,
Board of Education warrants aggregating
$5,241.25 had been paid by checks drawn on
banks that were designated city depositories ,
and the amount had been BO credited. Mr.
Uush said that this was a proper credit , but
did not cover all of the warrants so paid. Ho
presented a schedule by which he showed
that the exact amount aggregated $42,527.32.
Kor making this statement the witness said
that ho gathered his Information from the
stubs of the bank checks and from the \\ar-
rnntR tinlrl
For the purpose of verifying thq testimony
Mr. Hush was excused for the time- being and
Secretary Glllan ot the Board of Education
was called. Ho produced the monthly re
ports ot the city treasurer , made to the
3card of Education during the years 1S92 and
' 93 , showing the board's share ot the city
taxes paid. The jcoorts were offered In evi
dence , after which Mr. Hush was called back
to the wlttieas stand and testliied that the
reports presented by Mr. Olllan verified his
Igures , after which ho was turned over to
Mr. Connell for cross-examination.
On cross-examination Mr. Rush said that
while ho was clly treasurer he did not keep
i bank balance book. However , he consid
ered such a book convenient if properly kept.
Ho did not consider It a necessary record ot
the office. Witness could not tell \\hat pro
portion ot the $151,362.39 testified to on di
rect examination belonged to the city and
what proportion belonged to the Bcaid of
Education , consequently he could not say
what credits should be given the bondsmen ,
as ho tad no personal knowledge that the
two funds had been ecoarated.
Mr. Connell asked the witness If he con
sidered It proper to credit Bolln with the
$151,362.39 and the $40,527.52. He said that
ho did.
"Then , " continued the city attorney , "you
have a grand total of $197,889.81 that Is held
pending a distribution. If the alleged shortage -
ago is but $85,000 or thereabouts , the city
owes the bondsmen ? "
The witness maintained that this was not
good reasoning , and that the facts as testified
to would not Justify the city attorney making
such a statement.
It being nearly 0 o'clock , at Mr. Connell
announcing that ho would consume a couple
of hours In ooiciiletlng the cross-examlaa-
tlon of the witness , the court took a recess
until 9:30 : o'clock this morning.

Concerning the lloil- ' *
PrlvllcKcn and DutlcB. i |
The conflict of authority between the city
council and Advisory board figured In a few
vigorous expressions ot opinion at the gen
eral council committee ( meeting yesterday
nftornoon. It came up In connection with
the new gasoline lighting contract which
had -been- submitted by the Advisory boafal
for Iho approval of the council. iDechel de
clared that In advertising for bids nnd
awarding the contract the board had clearly
acted outslda of Us jurisdiction. The char
ter clearly rested the authority to provide
for street lighting with the mayor and coun
cil , and It was about time to call a halt. Ho
said that If the council was to be simply
a body of automatons , the members might
ns well moot once n month to pass the ap
propriation ordinance and leave the rest to
the Advisory board.
President Blngham. said that ho fully
agreed with > Bechol In regard to the main
proposition. This was but ono of several
cases In which the board had encroached otr
the authority of tha council nnd It was time
to put a stop to It. 'Ho ' suggested , -however ,
that the contract now under consideration
contemplated a reduction of fully $5 a lamp
In the prlco of the lights. Consequently the
council could not justify Itself In repudiat
ing the contract and rcndvertUlng when
there was every probability that It would
bo Impossible to secure another contract at
ao equally low figure.
Dechel stated that ho did not wish to too
understood ns wishing to take any such rad
ical action In this case , b\lt ho contended
that from this time on the -board should bo
compelled to remain within Its own limits.
This view was unanimously endorsed nnd
the council will probably approve the coni-
tlact with a proviso that Its action shall
not be considered as an admission that the
board had any authority to make It.
