The cane ot the City of Omaha
Against the first term bondsmen of
Henry Bolln , ex-city treasurer , wherein
the plaintiff seeks to recover an
alleged shortage of over $85,000 , alleged to
have been embezzled between January 1 ,
1892 , and December 30 , 1893 , and which has
been on trial before Judge Slabaugh and a
Jury ulnco the morning ot November 15 last ,
IB at an end so far as the Introduction of
testimony Is concerned. This announcement
wan made last night at the adjournment of
court.
The Introduction ot testimony consumed
nineteen days. Court convened each mornIng -
Ing at 9:30 : o'clock and adjourned for the day
at 5:30 : o'clock , with two hours ot Intermis
sion at noon. Slnco November 15 the jury
has been In close confinement , guarded con
stantly by two bailiffs. The twelve men
Who will render the verdict In the case have
elcpt at a hotel and have taken their meals
at the same place. They have not been
permitted to converse with any persons
other than Judge Slabaugh and the two
bailiffs. They have not been allowed to dis
cuss the Issues or the merits of the case ,
nor have they been permitted to read any
thing pertaining to the trial. While they
have been allowed to read the local papers ,
the reports of tlio trial have been cut out ,
after which they have perused the mutilated
papers.
Next Monday morning the arguments will
begin and It Is said that they will consume
f the greater portion of four days , as the prose
cution expects to occupy two dajs In present
ing the case and In replying to the opening
nrguments by the defense. The defense will
consume about two days , so that the case
will probably bo submitted to the Jury next
Thursday night.
During the trial 354 exhibits were offered
In cvldenco nnd If the case goes to the supreme
premo court for a final hearing It Is likely
that there will bo n very bulky transcript ,
the ofliclal stenographer estimating It at
1,000 pages.
GATHERING UP THE THREADS.
Shortly after the convening of the morning
session the defense announced that It was
through with its evidence. Prior to this the
attorneys for the bandsmen had Introduced
pages 1 to 10 Inclusive of cash book No. 30 ,
kept In the city treasurer's ofllce during
Bolln's ( list term.
The attorneys for the city announced that
they were ready to yrocead with the re
buttal , expressing the opinion that they would
not complete the city's evidence before some
time next Monday.
There will bo no session of court today ,
It being the custom of the Judges to devote
Saturdays to clearing up their dockets .11
passing upon motions and entering defaults.
Monday the case will be called and the In-
dlcatlcns now are that the arguments will
begin during the afternoon ot that day. Just
when they will be finished no one seems willIng -
Ing to venture an opinion. The attorneys for
the city contend that they will require at
least two days to present their views to the
Jury , whllo the attorneys for the defendants
say that they will require that much time
end ( nsslbly more , so that It Is not likely
that the case will bo turned over to the Jury
before next Friday at the earliest.
After the defense had Introduced the Bolln
cash book la evidence and bad rested the
prosecution Introduced pages IS to 23 of
cash book No. 31 , kept by Bolln , In evi
dence , and then called S. It. Crlckmore , a
clerk In the comptroller's olllcc. The witness
had the records relating to the Item of $110.15 ,
pertaining tc the sewer "district fund.
BEFORE BOLLN'S TERM.
Thto Item had not besn Included In Ex
pert Wetlllng's schedules and Expert Doo-
llttle had testified that Us omission 'was an
error In Wettllng's computations. Wettllng ,
when o3' the witness stand , was questioned
concerning the Item , and r.ald that he omitted
It for the reason that It was a transaction
that occurred durtog John Rush's term as
city treasurer and prior to Uolln's Incum
bency. Clerk Crlckmore said the records
showed that u warrant for $110.15 was drawn
on the sewer fund , payable to Johm Rush ,
and thct It bore date of July 2 , 1S91. He
also tcalllled that the warrant was paid
during Septe'mbcr of the same year , and con
sequently could not enter as a charge or
credit against Bol'ci ,
John W. Fcad , a clerk In the offlee of
the city treasurer , was next called. With
him he had the cash book and the Journal
kept by Henry BoHn/ during his llri't term
as city treasurer. From the books the wit-
ncfs testified relative to an Item of $9.250.
The check for this amount was presented
to the witness and was Identified as having
bean , drawn on a city depco'.tory In exchange
for a New York draft for a like amount ,
which was sent east. During the early
stage ? ot the trill. Expert Wettllng had testi
fied that this check was drawn on city
funds and the proceeds used by Bolln In
paying Interest on Board of Education ob
ligations. In. making up hla schedules , Ex
pert Doollttlo testified for the defence that
ho had not taken this check Into consldei-
atloa , and on crcctf-examlnatlon a day or two
ngo he had admitted that It It was true that
Bolln had thus used $9.250 of city funds In
paying off Board ot Education obligations
his shortage at the end of the ( list term
would be just that much more.
When Clerk Fead gave In Ills testimony
he corroborated Wcttllng's testimony and
eald tint In his Judgment theiro was a trans
fer ot city funds for Just the amount ahown
by the check. Ho said that the omission of
Doollttlo to Inc'.udf this amount was a mis
take of $0,250 , > ind con&cqucntly made h s
schedules out ot balance.
The witness pointed out other crrora In
Doollttle's schedule's. He * < ad ! that In the
rotund growing out ot the change of the
Douglas street grade and the opening ot cer
tain streets charged \\cro made that were
not correct
DANK BALANCES AGAIN.
Ycatcrt'ay ' E. J. Weathrlck , a clerk In
the ofllco of the city trcasmer under Bolln
Kaa called by the prosecution. Ho testified
( that ho h'ld e'harge of the bank balance book
and Una all of Lhe bank pass bocks passed
through tils liunla. In making up the bank
bacico ! book , ho uecd the bank pass books
and tliin became familiar with the entries
that they contained. In testifying to the
funds ot the Board of Education used 'to
pay city obligations , ho stated that ho .vad
ancertalnud tdat the books of < the olllco
ehowed the turn of $9,992.40 so used. This
Einn he testified was not Included In the
Echcdiiles prepared by Expert Doollttlo for
the defense. In making up schedules to show
the correct facts , It uuu necetsary to show
cludu this amount.

OAHNIVAL AND LAGOON NOTES.
The six youtiK ladles In the -lead polled
1,500 votes ycsturday , Miss McNamara's train
not being quite ns larpe as heretofore , whllo
that ot Mlsa Nash , > Mlss Stovciiion , Mlsj
Hoywood and Miss Srallcy showed that their
friends nro gathering to their several ban
ners and arc going to give the young lady
In ths lead a good run for the prize. The
friends of the young lady whoso name \\aa
withdrawn are dividing their votes between
Miss Nash and ailss Smiley , which will un
Uoiibtcdly cause some very Interesting
chaiigss within the next few days.
Here la something that will Interest the
boys and girls more than anything else
that wo know of , excepting Christmas pres
ents. The winter sports are on at the Ex
position grounds and of course every boy 01
girl In this community has a hankering after
anything that pertains to fun , especially If
It Is In anyway connected with Ice and snow.
Nov,4 will you bo good ? Of course the man
agers of the Ice Carnival are not hero for
their health ; they have lots of that out In
California where they came from , so 'they
charge lOc to gtt In the grounds , lOc ad
mission to the Ice and 5c for each ride on
that great big toboggan. Now , any boy 01
girl can have all the fun they want anj
It won't cost them a single cent If they
will just do a little hustling for themselves
toad that large display ad on page 7 , whlcn
says , "What , IIo ! For Winter Sports ! "
It Is all rlgh and If you will only devote
a llttlo of your spare time you can have
more fun than a cage full of monkeys.
The thermometer seems to battle against
the downward movement , but the chill In the
air Is too much for It , In consequence of
which McCall , the lagoon Ice Inspector , has
polished off all the rough places and says
that the rink Is in better shape than EVCI
before. There will toe skating .at the lagoon
today and tonight and If Sunday Is a pleas
ant day the band will be there1 to toot their
horns and play llvelyj-Bkatur music.
A racing rttarss will ? bo measured off " 01
the lagoan andta number of 'amateur ' racct
will bo Inaugurated very Boon , for whlct
medals will be offered as prizes.
Jo&n Fallcurc and Contractor 1'helps wll.
raoro than likely make a trip or two on the
toboggan sllds this afternoon. Talking about
dropping off ot a house ! It Isn't * marker
to dropping off of the top of that toboggan.
