I CASE AGAINST 'GENE ' MOORE Baprcmo Conrt Hears Oral Argumsnts on Ex-Auditor's ' Appeal. DEFENSE STICKS TO ITS FORMER THEORY lAUoriioItiftlM ( lint ( lie Defendant f'iimint He Held Utility of Um- L'nitcr tliec - .Stntutcn. \ , LINCOLN , Jan. 20.-Speclal. ( ) All ot the Judges and commissioners were on the bench this forenoon when the Eugene Moore case came up for hearing In the supreme court. Only a few npoctntora were In the court room at the beginning , but as the Inuring progressed the room filled with attorneys and others who wcro Interested In hearing the arguments. Treasurer Me- ficrve , Secretary ot State Porter and a num ber of dcputlw from the various offices were there , bvit It was noticed that no ono from Auditor Cornell's offlco was present. Eugene Jlooro occupied a scat among the spectators , Judge Itnrnrs of Norfolk opened the argu ment for Moore In a speech ot half on hour's length. Ho first entered a protest against the language used by the attorney general In his brief , In which Moore had been branded as a "Bclf-confcsscd criminal. " Jildgo Barnes said that Moore had entered the plea of guilty of taking the money for the purposes of the suit and on a stipulation , which avoided a long-drawn-out and ex pensive trial In district court , and which brought the main contention of the defense to an Immediate Issue. The language of the attorney general was unfair and calcu- Hated to prejudice the court. Ho argued that nowhere In the statute was the auditor referred to as a collector of money , except In section 32 of ttui Insurance 'law ' , and that that section \vns In force prior to the adop tion of the constitution ot 1875 , which ex pressly said that the money In payment for certificates and other services should be "paid In advance Into the stnto treasury. " Ho held that the constitution repealed th.it part of section 32 relating to thu payment of fees to the auditor and that the plain provision now was that the party wishing the service to bo performed must first pay the required fco Into the stnto treasury. Ills conclusion then was that when Moore received the money ho mailo himself the agent of the Insurance companies to that extent and that the money was not public money until It was paid to the treasurer authorized to receive It. Ho said that tin- state auditor could not bo compelled by mandamus to receive money In payment of foe , as it was the clear duty of the appli cant to tender the money * to the treasurer. The contention of the attorney general that the stnto by ratifying the act of Moore In taking the money had made the act legal wan not good. The state could not ratify imy act that would make a man a criminal. Cases from Ohio , Kansas and other states were cited in support of the position taken by Mooru's attorneys. CONTENTION FOR THE STATE. Attorney General Smyth opened by declar ing that ho did not care whether or not the court held that the money came Into Moore's hands by virtue of his ofllco. The auditor was charged by both the statute and mo con stitution with the collection and disburse ment of money. He then referred to Moore's plea of guilty end said that by this confes sion ho either was guilty of 'taking ' the money of the state or the money or the In surance companies. I "Upon which section do you rely for your complaint ? " asked Judge Norval. The attorney general said that he was re lying on the section whit'Ii would make the ex-auditor guilty of embezzlement as an olll- cer charged with the collection of public inctiey. Ho conceded that If Moore did mot lake public money he could not be held under this comnlaint. He then referred to thu constitution and said that when the olllcers were charged with the duty of keeping ac counts and making semi-annual reports to8 the governor it was the same as paying that they 'Were authorized to receive money. In regard to the t iyment of fees Into the state treasury in advanceho called attention to the fact that the constitution does not say who shall ( Jay them In advance. Deputy Smith followed the attorney gen eral and dwelt at considerable length on the theory of estoppel. He held that by ac cepting the money from the companies and issuing the certificates Moore made himself the agent of the stnto and was now es- stoppud from pleading the unconstltutlon- nllty of the act. 'Mcoro ' had plainly violated the constitution and could not tiow deny its constitutionality. "Tho man who Is agent enough to receive money Is agent enough to be punished. " II. C. Ilromo closed the argument for Moore , paying attrition to the cases al ready cited and enumerating some others in support ot his position. He said that the matter of estoppel had nothing to do with this case , as the theory of estoppel has no place In the criminal jurisprudence ot this country. LINCOLN LOCAL NOTES. C. W.

In the case of Edward Lorcnz , the lied Willow county boy who was convicted of murder , the supreme court has reversed the finding of the trial court and ordered a new trial. The youth was defended by an alleged attorney who afterward proved to be a pretty fair horse doctor , but not much of a defender of human rights. The trial was manifestly so unfair that Deputy Attor ney General Smith , Instead of defending the conviction , asked the supreme court to re- veree the cuse for a new trial. The opinion of the court wae handed down yesterday. In the trial court the attorney of the ac cused presented no evidence. He rested the case without offering evidence and expressed Bitrpriso because court adjourned for the day , thus preventing him from presenting hla ar gument while the court room was full of pee ple. The horse doctor reasoned with the court and nsaured him that the crowd would not be there for him to epoik to on the fol lowing morning. The court gently tuggosted that ho thought the Jury would bo there. Hi-xiiK nf u Cliurlvnrl. DAKOTA CITY. Neb. , Jan. 20.

LINCOLN , Jan. 20. ( Spoclal.1 The Ne braska Millers' association met nt the Llti- dell hotel this afternoon , with about thirty mill men In attendance. The meeting was called to order by the president , N. U. Ken dall of Lincoln , who delivered his annual address , In which he spoke of the Impor tance and rapid growth of the milling busi ness In Nebraska and urged the millers to stand together nnd form a strong associa tion. Secretary 0. C. Holmes of Omaha read his report , as follows : The Xebnaskn State Millers' association has held two metlng-s during the year 1S'J < , one nt Hastings on July ! . " > nnd one nt Om.a'hn on September 28. These meetings were fairly well attended , nnd like nil giltn- orlngs of this organization were full of In terest nnd prollt to those who attended. Matters of Interest to the fraternity were tibly presented and Intelligently discussed. Many nbuses common to the business have us n result bosn corrected nml by thus meeting together nnd exchanging Ideas nnd experiences much good bus been accom plished. But while nil this Is true It Is neverthe less a fact that this association has not received the support of the millers of the stnto whlt'A It would seem such nn or ganization merits. In order , If possible , to arouse nn nctlve Interest In our work pamphlets containing the proceedings of the mot-tings nnd reports of committees have been printed nnd mailed to every miller In Nebraska. Circular letters setting forth the objects of the association and urgently Inviting nil millers to Join have bean sent on xevcrnl occasions , each letter being ac companied by a copy of our constitution nnd by-laws nml a blank form of applica tion. The responses received have not , flow- ever , been sulllclont to help pay for the postois'o expended , to say nothing of the cost of paper and printing. Whether a ma jority ot our millers believe that the hand ful of enterprising men who n3W comprise the association will successfully carry out ami accomplish the objects of the organiza tion without their help , or whether they flilnlf ( i mltlnranaannliiHnn tiniinonssarv. or do not approve of the moth ads being pur sued by fals one , Is not apparent. It would scorn , however , that In this age of the world when railroads and bootblacks , bankers and hodcnrrlers , manufacturers , Jobbers , retailers and barbers , lawyers , doc tors and kitchen maids find It nn absolute necessity to firm themselves Into pools , unions and associations for mutual benefit and protection tlmt the flour millers of Ne braska , whose product , next to that of our great packing Mouses and smelters , Is the largest ot any In the state , should find It to their Interest to maintain an organiza tion , and It Is earnestly to be hoped that this meeting will be able to devise some means by which this object may be success fully accomplished.

BEEF TELLS IN THE TUG-9F-WAR BATTLE Ciiplnlii Ktilut ot Hie Vnmi 11 Illicit l ' > < > ( tiittlnlU-il Mllli tinT - T i Oilier TenniH I'ull i to 11 Drniv. A little more beet told the talc. Some twenty-five advantageous pounds ot muscu larity , sinew , fat and whatever else goes to make up the human frame last night en abled the tug-ot-war team of the Tourist Wheel club , after yanking and hauling for exactly twenty-five minutes and nine seconds ends , -to pull the team of the Turner Wheel club Just one foot along their slats In Tur ner hall. It was a great contest and It was for blood. The conditions provo the last state ment. It necessary the match was to last thirty minutes and the team having the most rope In Its possession nt the end of that Unto was to bo declared the winner. But It cither team succeeded In hauling the other ono foot lusldo the thirty minutes the contest was to end then and there. Consequently quently the Tourists had a little less than five minutes to spare at the time of their victory. Iho two teams settled down to business frQin the start In n manner which showed t.df.t both expected a long , hard pull. For the first ten minutes both saved their wind. Then the Turners began to yank gently nnd the rope came their way until they iwere some four Inches to the good. It remained like this for another ten minutes. Then Captain llartry of the Tourists began to get In his work. " 1111 Yll Kl ! " yelled ho as ho ran up and down alongside his men , nnd at every yell his Indians gathered In a few links of the rope. Captain Kuhn shouted In vain to his cohorts. Inch by Inch the Tourists drew or yanked the rope until finally they had a fool to the good , the pistol cracked and they nroso victors. Then everybody In the hall seemed to be a Tourist , Judging from the manner In which the atmosphere wan cracked by yells. Captain Kuhn is not satisfied with the result. When the match , was over ho said : "Wo were not beaten by a Tourist Wheel club team. The team by which wo were beaten was made up ot anybody picked up about the city. Last night I knew that it was not a Tourist team because of one man , against whom 1 protested. Then I was told that there was no Tourist Wheel club nny more and therefore I protested against the match. The contest was pulled oft because wo did not want to disappoint the crowd , but we do not consider that we have been beaten by nny wheel club team. Why , If wo are allowed to gather a team from men outsldo our club team , wo can beat this so-called Tourist Wheel club tram. " The victors weighed more than the van quished by nearly twenty-five pounds. The Turners' total weight was 1,537 ; that of the Tourists was 1.5C3. The latter team , with the individual weights , was ns follows : II. E. Fredrlckson , anchor , 204 pounds ; Tom Spencer , 1G3 pounds ; Ed Proulx , 1G5 pounds ; Pcto Peterson , 1G7 pound , ? ; Lou Adams , 1G2 pounds ; Bud Baxter , ITS pounds ; Charles Nuwhouau , 182 pounds ; Charles Hall , 1G5 pounds ; Lou Mather , 175 pounds. The Turners' team was as follows : Henry Ilohlf , anchor , 206 pounds ; Oscar Nast , 130 pounds ; Otto NclderwcUer , 100 pounds ; Henry Ulx , 205 pounds ; Paul Wurl , ICO pounds ; Phil Mueller , 165 pounds ; J. Krage , 142 pounds ; Henry Wlndhelm , 107 pounds ; Emil Ilohlf , 172 pounds. I'ULL TO A DRAW. There was another tug-of-war match on the program , which was shorter , but hardly less Interesting. This was to have been be- teams of the Union Pacific Wheel club and the U. & M. Wheel club , but thu former found that they could not get up a team and they presented substitutes in the ehape of a lot of big , husky employes of the Union Pacific freight depot. The B. & M. Wheel club ( .cam sized up like a lot of kids be- sldo the others , but apparently a tug-of-war match Is not more the property of the beefy than a race Is of the swift. Flvo minutes of pulling was entirely Insufficient for the depot men to pull the B. & M. lads out of the slats , and the contest was declared a draw. The depot men , however , have not practiced , but they say that In the near future they will bo ready to Issue a chal lenge to any tug-of-war team on earth to meet them. The two teams were made up ns follows : B. & II. E. S. Swan , anchor ; R. J. Hansen , T. G , Hansen , C. C. Carson , W. S. Austin S. Valentine , C. Schwartz , Fred Cole , G. Tromler. Union Pacific A. W. Walson , an chor ; E. Newhoujso , W. II. Hunting , G. Carl son , 'M. 0. Lcgge , J. Lynch , J. Haley , 1) . Bradley , J. Clifton. Edward Black was cap tain of the former nnd It. C. Rodlck of the latter. These two tugs-of-war were the features of quite an athletic program. In addition there was a good wrestling match between Oscar Nast and Muentefering , best two out of three falls. Nast proved to bo the better of the pair , winning two successive falls , the first in two minutes and' the other In nine. Ho won both by a bait Nclaon. There was also a mile homo trainer blcyclo race between "Cyclone Pete" and Virgil Hall , which the latter won In the phenome nal time of fifty-one seconds , according to the timekeepers. The cyclone did the mlle ono second to the bad , again according to the timekeepers. Otto Giscko and Dan Baldwin gave some heavy-weight exhibitions , and the latter also transformed himself Into a human bridge , during which no supported both the Tourist nnd Uio Turner tug-of-war teams. These events wcro Interspersed with music by the Olympla Banjo club nnd recl- tatlona by Frank Gosney and Miss Elvlna Howo. John IX Howe was master of cere monies. There was a very good attendance.

Only I'lvp of tlio ( "ompmiy I'luj-ltiB' nt Kortl'n Titrntrr NIMV lilvlnifi Among the members ot n theatrical com pany playing n week's engagement In Blng- hampton , N. V. , relates the New York Sun , Is Mrs. Kntheryn M. Evans , who was one of the members of the company at Ford'o theater , Washington , when President Lin coln was nMAsslnatcd. Mrs. Evan's hus band was arrested on suspicion nflcr the assassination , but was soon released. Mrs. livnns paid : "There were1 twenty members ot the com pany , only four of whom are now living be sides myself. They are Harry Hawk , who Is still upon the stage , hut where 1 do not know ; W. J. Ftrguson , nnw piny Ing with Krohnian's Empire Theater stock company ; XI. A. Kennedy and Jennlo Gonrley , who has retired from the stage and lives In Brooklyn , I was living In Washington upon 13 street tit ttic tluio with my husband and Harry Hawk , who roomed nt our house , which was only a few doors from Ford's the ater. My character the night of that awful tragedy was Xlrs. Sharp , n housekeeper. I'pou the tragic night of the assassination wo had not seen Booth around the theater and none of ns know or thought anything about Win until during the third act. while Harry Hawk was nloiio on the stage. "Wo were all In our dressing rooms when the pistol shot was heard. Wo rushed upon the stage nnd saw Xlrs. Lincoln holding the head ot her husband between her bauds and heard her calling for help. We did not see Booth Icco up-ii the stage , nor did wo see him afterward. "Harry Hawk looked up toward the box which contained the presidential party and ho saw Booth spring voon the edge of the box and leap down upon the stage , with a knife In Ills hand. Two xi- three days before the tragedy Hawk nnd Booth , who bad al ways been almost Inseparable , Mad a quarrel over a young woman upon whom they were both calling , and Booth told Hawk If ho ever called upon her again he would run a knlfo through him. Hawk had called upon the young woman the previous evening , and when ho saw Booth standing on the edge of the box \\ith a knife ici his hand and Jump toward folm ho naturally feared for hU lire and ran. "As Hawk ran from the stage Booth Jumped up from where ho had fallen ai. l limped off with his leg broken. H was Hawk's running from the stage and conceal ing himself In his dressing room that con tused people as to where- Booth had gone , and Hawk's dressing room wad ecarclied be fore they got on the right track. Meantime Booth had secured a good start on his horse , which was waiting for him at the stage door. Hawk was accused of be'r.is a conspirator In the plot and came near being murdered n dozen times. "My husband , J. II. Evans , was well ac quainted with Booth , and on the panic evenIng - Ing that the shooting occurred was with him for a short time. On account of this fact ho was placed under arrest , but was released shortly afterward. He noticed nothing wrorg about Booth at the time. He was lively , and a social glass was taken by them before they separated. "As Hawk , who wao supposed at first to be an accomplice , had his room at our house , It was searched from garret to ceiiar , upon me remote possibility that Booth was concealed somewhere under the roof. Walls were sounded , beds pierced through acid through with swords and bayonets , the trunks and wardrobes broken open and searched , and every possible place of concealment pried Into. The sound of galloping hoofs outside the door , ns messengers rushed to nnd fro , was almost deafening , nnd it was not for weeks al'terward ' that any degree of quiet and order was restored. "I remember poor Spanglerbom I knew well and who was stage carpenter near the theater. Ho happened to bo standing nt the outer stage door as Booth ran toward him after the shot , and In his confusion opened the door for Booth to escape. He was en tirely Innocent of any criminal intent , but was Imprisoned for six years and came near losing his life. W. J. Ferguson was call boy at the theater. " Mrs. Evans says that the discussion which the death of Gcorgo A. Parkhurat In Now York , In July , 1S90 , "caused " ns to whether ho was the last surviving- member of Laura Kceno's company , enabled her to learn the whereabouts and subsequent history of the members of the company.
