' \Vhcn Judge Slabaugh adjourned court
last night the defense In tbo cose against
Hho bondsmen of Henry Uolln ihad finished
Introducing Us expert testimony , end , with
( ho exception ot txio or two of < ho bondsmen ,
fwho , wlll bo presented to testify to what
Ihey thought they were held for when they
Igncd tbo bond , closed Its case. Expert
Doolltllo pent one of the 'Worst days of his
life on the stand under the withering cross-
examination of City Attorney Conncll. Ills
cchcdulcs and sworn statements wcro han
dled' without mercy , and the witness at one
lmo by his demeanor drew out a caution
from < tbo court.
Doollttlo Is the expert who represents the
bondsmen nnd Is the man who has prepared
the schedules for the defense. When ho
miii nn ttini1tnica atnnit llnilnr fltmrt fX *
amlnatlon ho gave unhesitating and straight
forward answers to all of the questions pro
pounded by Attorneys Mahoney and llrome ,
but upon being turned aver to Attorneys
Connell , Ives and Scott for the city , his
whole demeanor changed , and Instead ot
answering he commenced to evade the
i questions * This wnti- carried to some extent
yesterday afternoon , but this morning It
reached a point where Judge Slabaugh had
to take a 'hand ' and Instruct the witness to
answer.
Doollttlc came hero as an expert from
'Cleveland awl assisted John Rush In preparing -
paring the schedules offoied by the defense
os a part of Its evidence. Beginning with
the first day of the trial , he stated to a
number of parties In Judge Slabaugh's
private room that he had schedules that
would prove conclusively that more was no
ehortngo In JJolln's accounts so far as the
city treaourcr'a ofllco was concerned. He
also made light of the schedules prepared
1 > y Expert Wcttllng for the city and said ho
would show that they were full of errors
and that ho had the figures to substantiate
Ills figures. Since going on the witness
eland yesterday- morning , by his own tes
timony Expert Doollttlo has testified that
ho has not prepared any schedules In the
case. Ho has testified that the figures that
! ho has presented have been compiled from
.the schedules prepared by John. . Rush and by
Expert Wettllng. Ho has testified that ho
has not examined the books of the office
to verify his figures , tout , Instead has based
Ills computations entirely upon the deduc
tions arrived at Jjy the other experts.
HAS NOT SHOWN TUG ERROR.
-
au lui uuumiiu ruts uui nuuwu mi : prum-
Ised errors In Welding's schedules , nor does
lie tcotlfy as to any knowledge as to how
iWottltag and Rush reached the conclusions
regarding which they have testified. Dee
llttlo hart testified that In making his fig
ures he has taken but one side of the case
into consideration and In answering the
questions of the attorneys for the city he
cither prefaces or concludes his anowera
iwlth "Not from this side of the case. "
YcHtcrday morning Doollttle carried his plan
BO far that Judge Slabaugh was compelled
to stop the witness and caution him not to
again use the expression iinUns It was In a
caeo where such an answer would bivc eomo
reference to the < iuestlon propounded.
In beginning thecrosj-oxamlndtlon yesterday
morning Mr. Cornell asked : "In undertaking
to give what you claim Is a mlotake In Wctt-
llng's schedule you show an Item of $110.15.
Don't , you know that .Item appears In a
schedule that re'.itcs to" another schedule
showing a shortage of over JS5.000 ? "
Mr. Mahoney , for the deftoos , objected.
Jlr , Coanill. for the city , eald that he
proposed to show that there was no mis
take In the \yottll3pr bchcdulp. The form of
the question waa changed and the witness
asked If ho had testified that Wettllng bad
made the mistake referred to.
The witness said that he testified that
Wettllng had made a mistake In not cred
iting the amount to the defendents. He had
checked the- warrants over and had not
found the Item , though It might be Included
dn another schedule. However , he was quite
positive tlwt It was not there.
"Do you claim that Wcttllag's echedule
ehows a mistake In an Item of | 3OS4.SO ? "
asked Mr. Council.
"I think It docc ? . "
"Turn to schedule E sod see If the
amount Is not there. "
"Part of the amount Is there , but It says
December , 1893. ' "
"When yoj testified to the aggregate re
ceipts of the treasurer's olllco during Dolln's
flrst term , what did you Intend that the
ECiieauio snaum eao\vt
"Juat as the schedule says , city funds. I
don't know what It Includes. "
"Your schedule rests upon John Rush's
schedules , and John Rush's evidence , and
any mistakes made by John Rush and car
ried forward by you would affect the re
sults of your schedule ? "
"Yes , " answprcd the wltnrea.
WINDS HIM UP.
"Don't yo.n know that John Rush testified
that he' Included an Item of $10,000 that made
Ills schedule show just that amount too
much ? "
"I don't know. "
"Regarding tlio Item of $10,010 testified to
by you yesterday afternoon , don't you know
that you mudo a mistake In placlnK the
amount ? "
"I figured only the receipts and not the
other side of the ledger. "
"You know that this Item of $10,010 is a
different Item than the $10,000 referred to by
'John ' Rush ? "
"There wcro several Items referred to by
Mr. Hush. "
The testimony of John Rush on cross-ox-
nmlnatlon was read to the witness and he
/was / naked : "Now that you base your tcs-
< Imony on the schedules and testimony of
Mr. Rush , Is not this testimony correct ? "
"I can't remember all of the testimony of
Mr. Rush , as I did not charge my memory
With It. "
"It tbo facts regarding the $10,000 and the
$10,010 are mistakes does It not make mis
takes of $20,010 In your schedules ? "
"I dou't know what you are trying to get
t. "
"Do you claim that the question Is unintel
ligible ? "
"I don't know whether you mean debits or
credits. "
"Assuming that John Rush'e testimony In
correct and assuming that I have stated correctly
'
rectly the fact's regarding the $10,010 Item ,
does this not make- mistakes of $20,010 In
your schedules ? "
"Acsuniliig that these nro facts It dqffl. "
Witness was shown a che6k on the union
National bank for $10,000 and was asked It
the check did not re-transfer the $10,000 to
Which refcrenco had been made ,
The witness replied , "Not ot my own
knowledge. "
Shown Uuali's pchcdulca and checks , on
Which some of the Itema were tased , the
ftv-ltncEs < sald that he could not toll K the
entries on the schedule and the checks re
ferred to the eamo Items.
"Don't you find under date of July 9 , 1892 ,
dn Item of $10,000 deposited lu the Mer
chants' bank ? "
"I don't find It here , " enswered the wlt-
ueas , looking over the schedule * , which ho
beld In his hand.
Witness was shown , the testimony of John
Rush and \\iia asked If he found reference
to the depcalt referred to. Ho said that ho
did , Ho was then asked It tbo testimony
did not show that $10,000 had 'been ' trans
ferred from the city to the Hoard ot educa
tion account.
Wltnesg could , not remember.
"Awumlng that this trenafcr was mado.
would this not offset an Item to which > ou
tmvo teatlned ? "
"AsouuUag that lh' Is true , coo would
offset tno other. "
"Is thl * not a duplicate charge ? "
"I can't flnd It. " , , ,
"Do you know If It goU Into your echcuu'.o

"Not of ray own knowledge. "
ANOTHER ITEM OVERLOOKED.
"Dou'l your schedule omit a depoolt ot
12,798 mads In the German Savings bank on
December 8,1803 ? . .
"fiucU an. amount appears on tbt
, I.

I don't know that the bank balance book Is

"WoulO this not moke a mistake In your
schedule ? "
"Araumlnii that the bank balance book Is
corrot , the nchedulo wout4 be In error. "
"To reach conclunlctis , should not trans
fers of moneys bo taken Into consideration ? "
"Yc , to show the other side of the case. "
"If your schedule Is for the purpose of en
lightening the jury , ought not It to show
the city checks to | ay Board ot Education
obllgatlona and beard checks to pay city ob
ligations ? "
"Yes , to show the other side of the ac
count. "
"Do you claim < t'.iat your schedule Is true
and correct na showing tlio undistributed as-
sctfl on hand at the end of Dolln'a first term ? "
term ? "
"Yes , In elating one side of the account. "
"Would It affect your schedule It payments
wcro made of city obligations by checks on
Uoard of Kducatlon banks ? "
"It would not affect ray schedule. "
"Would such payments affect the results
regarding the amount of undistributed money
on hand at the end ot Dolln's first terra ? "
"I don't know Just how to answer that
question. I would have to know the nature
of the transactions. The results might be
affected If It was a legitimate transaction. "
"If the salary of the mayor was paid by a
check on a Hoard of Education bank , would
hat payment not change the amount ot un-
dlatrlbutod funds on hand ? "
"I don't think that It would. "
"Don't you reach a net result In making
your schedules ? "
"Yes. sir. "
"Do you reach your net result by stating
joth Bides ? "
The witness contended that the question
was misleading , as ho did not know what
not result was referred to by the attorney
for the city.
CHANGE COMES OVER HIM.
When court reconvened In the afternoon It
wao apparent that Expert Doollttlo's meth
ods had undergone a change during the noon
recess. Ho had lost all of the bravado and
Bolf-rcllanco that , ho had possessed upon all
former occasions when upon the vltness
stand. Instead of answering the questions
propounded by saying "I don't know" ho wa's
as meak as a lamb. Ho answered promptly
and told all that ho know about the trans
actions referred to In his own and thc-Utish
schedules.
Immediately upon going on the stand ho
examined the Doard of Education check
book of the German -Savings bank. From ex
amining the stubs lu the book the witness
pointed out Instances whore checks were
drawn on Doard of Education funds to pay
city obligations. This was followed with
the check books of other banks In which
the Hoard of Education fund was kept dur
ing Dolln's flrst term , until the sum of $10-
150 had been so pointed out.
After the Btubs and the bsoka had been ex
amined by Expert Daollttlc he admitted that
his schedules were In error In that sum , pro-
vlrlng the proceeds of the chocks were used
In paying other thau Doard of Education ob
ligations. He fculd that in making up his
schedules he had not taken the Item ot $10,150
Into account , because John Rush had not
called It to his attention.
When John Rush gave his testimony last
week he was asked If this Item of $10,150
was a iippnFR.irv nlomont to take * Inln ncci-
sldcratlou In making up his schedules. He
said , however , that he had not found such
Item , and , consequently , had not Included It
In any schedule.
Shown the bank balance book of the city
treasurer's ofllce during .Bolln's first term ,
Expert Doollttle pointed out an entry showIng -
Ing a withdrawal ot $3,338.50 from the Na
tional Dank of Commeico school funds to
National Dank of Commerce city funds. The
entry was of date November 17 , 1S92 , nnd to
the witness It looked like n transfer of
funds. If this was a transfer the witness
said that It would make n mistake ot $3-
33.50 In the schedules prepared by himself
and Mr. Rush.
Witness Identified a check for $9,250 , drawn
on the United States National bank , and ad
mitted ttuit the proceeds'were used In paying
Board of Education's obligations. The money
was drawn from city funds deposited in a
city depceltory.
This , , tthe witness said , was another Item
that < wiis not taken Into consideration In
making up his schedules.
"Now , " said Mr. Connell , "wo have
pointed out mistakes aggregating about $55-
000 In the schedules prewired by you , laavo
wo not ? "
I have not kept any account of the Items ,
but I guess that It Is someth'lns like that , '
answered the wlt..ess.
ON RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.
On re-dlrcct examination Expert Doollttlc
testified that prior to December 31 , 1889 , ho
was a partner' with Expert Lombeck , who
was hero at one time and worked ori the
Bolln books being In the employ of the
bidcmen. Witness worked with Lembeck
In checking over the Rush trial balances.
Ha assisted Lembeck just to pass away the
time , whllo waiting to give testimony In
a touso then In court. When wltnass talked
with Connell about getting Into the Bolln
case for the city , the cxanvln.tlon had not
gene far enoug'h to arrive at any conclusion
with reference to the shortage.
Witness thought It would be practical to
trace every .Item of embezzlement , nnd by
going through the books ' of the ofllce It
could be followed from Its payment until
taken. In making up his schedules witness
accepted as dita , evidence before the court ,
the schedules and testimony ot John Ru.ih , .
Witness said * hat If there were mistakes
or omissions In bis schedule. It was because
ha could not secure the data. He will that
ihu could mi get 'the ' books of the treasurer's
ofllce , the prosecution refusing to turn them
over.
In the criminal trial witness said Expert
WettMng figured fn the $101,000 as a part
of the shortage. The amount of the un
divided assets was obtained from Wottllng's
testimony. Witness -said' that ho did not
duplicate any Items ot charges or credits ,
but let every Item stand alone.
Ahkcd where ho got th6 $116,589.73 , the
amount ot undistributed assets shown by
wltiiffs' schedules , Doollttle said that he
took It from the testimony of Wettllng.
"Outside of Mr , Wcatherlck , have you hud
any opportunity to show the other side of
the city treasurer's account1' asked Attor
ney Conncll. The witness said that he had
not.
Regarding the two $10 000 checks , the wit
ness said that they were signed "Henry
Bolln , city treasurer , " aud that from the
checks themselves ho could not Infer that
they wcro anything but checks for the trans
fer of city funds. There was nothing on
them to Indicate that they Included any
Board of Education money. There was noth
ing In the bank balance book to show any
shifting of funds.
The witness again took up the Hem ot
$ C30 and said as lie could not find a record
of It , It was given no treatment.
The reason why the witness did not In
vestigate the city's amount of undivided as
sets was because be know the gross amount ;
knowing this and knowing the amount to
which the Beard ot Educatlpn would bo en
titled , all that foe had to dD was cubtract , the
difference remaining would bo the city's
"horo.
Oil rc-croBs-examlnatloti , Expert Diollttlo
testified that his schedules showed errors
and omissions aggregating $25,521.12 , but In
sisted that when a balance was struck his
flcliedule showed a difference of but $1,425.12
between the errors and omissions.
ins MIND.
At no tlrao during Ihe trial has Expert
Doollttlo presented < i schedule showing tbo
disbursements of the treasurer's oHVe during
Hollo's first term. During Ills direct ex
amination ho testified that he could not make
cuch a schedule becaueo ho could not have
access to the books of the olllce. This bo
retracted and said that ho had had accesa to
all of the books and records ot the ofllce ,
asldo from Bolln's bank piss books , and IUOFC
contained no Items ot disbursement * .
"Your Bchcdulo ( was partly made on
Wcnthrlck'a testimony , was It not ? " asked
Mr. Connell.
"Yes , " ansnercd the witness.
"Your schedules wcro also toascil to some
extent upon the schedules prepared 4 > y Mr.
Rush ? "
"Yes , and < by some data left by iMr , Lcm-
bbck. "
"Then If there are mistakes In your echec-
ulcs they coma 'through mistakes made bv
Weathrlck , Rush and > Lombeck ? "
The witness admitted that such might bo
the case ,
W , G. Anderson was culled anil said that
tie assisted Lombeck In checking up war
rant Bin ihu UJoard of Education I-cmbcck
wna taken nick and went home to Ohio ,
After that witness was employed by the de
fense to make a list of ichool warrants and
check them agalnit the stub ,
Mr. Connell objected to the wlUcca giving
more testimony on Ibis point. Ho declared
that the purpose of the testimony was bun
combe , an attempt to show that ho defense
had been prevented from examining books
end records of the board ,
Mr , Mahoney denied that there wag any
'buncombe ' and Mid that Mr. Connell was
mltstatlngi the facto , following out a custom
that ho had pursued during" the entire trial.
Mr. Connell Insisted that the city could not
bo prejudiced by wiuit the Board of Educa
tion did or did not do.
The objection was overruled and the wit
ness Bald that1 ho wns employed to ascertain
It the amounts of the warrants nnd Board
of Education checks agreed , Wltnsss ap
plied for this permission , but was rcluscd.
Mr. Mahoney said that the testimony of
Mr. Anderson closed the defense , wjth the
exception of culling some of the bondsmen
for the purpose of showing their understand
ing , with reference to their liability on the
Bolln bond.

PARSONS IIEURED HIMSELF
Another Olork Oomsatto Qriof Through
Taking Esnplqjor's Goods ,
CARRIES OFF BENNETTS CHOICEST GOODS
Itoom * of HI * Irft.ly Friend * Flllcil
with All Snrt * , of K-Micnulve
Knncy Article * Stolen
I from tlib Store. '
Another case of long ccotlnuei theft from
n leading retail store In this city ban just
conio to light to the grlet of the principal
nctor. C. W. IVirsons , who has bfrcn em
ployed as order clerk at the retail store of
the William 11. Dennett company since May
1 , 1S97 , was yesterday discovered to have
robbed his employers of $75 worth of goods
for a certainty , and Is suspected of having
obtained goods amounting to at least J300
In value during the last six months.
rarsons has been suspected for some time ,
but positive evidence against him was only
obtained during the last Tew days. Then a
largo quantity of the stolen goods was found
In the rooms of three women friends abo'it
town. .The youug man had evidently good
taste , for the prcperty found Included the
very finest articles from the Dennett com-
DRiiy'a counters. There was a handsome
photograph album , n camera , silver nut
cracker and picks , knives , pencils , n flno
mirror , 32-short cartridges , a revolver , a
watch , perfumery by < the gallon , and drugs
enough to start up a respectable pharmacy.
In addition to these articles found In the
roams of his fcmalo friends , It la believed
that a considerable amount of property that
has dlsafpcared within the last elx months
from the store has gene over the same route ,
and will never bo recovered. Parsons' "lady
friends" were three In number , one of whom
was his "best girl" and the other two merely
"friends. " From the articles found In their
rooms It Is plalu that they did not want for
very much that could be obtained from the
store In which their mutual lover was em
ployed.
If the strict rules of the Dennett company
had been carried out it would have been well
nigh ImpcGslblo for Parsons to have made
off with the goods ho secured. Under the
rules It Is necessary for an employe to ob
tain a pass check In order to carry out of the
store any package whatever. Parsons suc
ceeded In misleading the clerk lu charge ol
these pass checks by obtaining them for
packages that ho would allow to bo ex
amined , only to use the pass check on some
article that ho hid stolen. Another oppor
tunity to take goods from the store was
found In the evening when the clerks became
"stuck" with heavy orders. Since the fall
trade has been Increasing It has been neces
sary for some of the clerks to work even
ings In order to nil the orders. Parsons
was not overlooking any chances and gladlj
accepted these occasions to make away with
goods.
About three weeks ago the heads of several
departments complained to Mr. Dennett that
articles they knew .had not been sold were
fast disappearing from their counters. This
was soon after the arrival of the Christmas
goods the firm had ordered from Now York.
A watch was eet and Parsons was found to
spend much of his time In looking at the
uno articles In the cases of the drug depart
ment. It was this department that reported
the greatest losses. Private Detective Alber
A. Keysor was employed to work up the
CIBO and after closely watching Parsons for
some tlmo became convinced he was the
right man. Further idetectlvo work resultcc
In the discovery of his "lady friends" and
the finding of the missing articles in their
rooms.
Parsons Is a young man of about 25 years
ilo WEB one of the dost- trusted employes o
the Dennett company , and although he bac
been there but seven' months ho had become
one of the most popular attaches of the
store. His position as order clerk gave bin
access to every department In the store am
It was the liberal use ofthe privileges o
this position that gave him a chauco to carry
on his work. His homo Is In Sldell , 111. He
came to Omaha about eight years ago and
before his connection with the Dennett com
pany was employed at South Omaha. The
firm has not yet decided whether to prosecute
the case.
