COURT'S ' ACTION A SURPRISE
Granting tbo Motion to Hcoocn the Hartley
Oaso a Stunner.
SHOCK TO THE OMAHA REPUBLICANS
Lending Mpiiilicr * of the Pnrtr
i : | iremi Their Otilnlon n to the
Hffect of thp Conrnc
Omaha republicans were considerably sur
prised to road In The iDee yesterday that
the supreme court had decided -to grant the
application of the attorneys for Joe Dart-
ley for a rcargument of the appeal from the
district court of Douglas county. They had
been congratulating themselves that they
haJ the thief caught ntvl convicted before
republican judges and well on the road to
the penitentiary. Relying on this , the an
nouncement of the court's action came as a
shock. During the day many of them gave
volco to their surprise at the turn -the af
fair had taken. The Bee hore'wlth prints ex
pressions from a number of the leading re
publicans on the matter :
Henry C. Akin I was greatly surprlsej
when I road the announcement of a rehear
ing In the Dartley case In The Dee. I have
not had tlmo to carefully study the merits
of the case , but as soon as I learned the
news felt that a great wrong had been com
mitted , and so expresseJ myself to a number
of friends. I am not a lawyer , and there
fore cannot argue as to the law In the caso.
It does seem to me , though that the decision
if It results In a new trial will bo an open
bid for dishonesty. It canliot but weaken
the cause of justice In this state , and It
will surely operate to the disadvantage ot
the republican party. There Is entirely too
much technicality In these Important cases ,
It seems to mo , and too many loopholes af
forded for the escape of men guilty of the
greatest crimes.
John L. Kennedy Of course , the granting
of a rehearing of the case does not neces
sarily mean a reversal of 'ho judgment ot
the district court. If : here Is reversible
error In the record the judgment should bo
reversed without considering the effect on
any political organization. This , however ,
would be a great ( .ourco of regret to the
people of the state , who have considered
the question of Hartley's guilt established
beyond the possibility of doubt. A change
In l ! the result hcrctoforo rcacheJ by the supreme
premo couit would have a disastrous effect
IIC IIC the fortunes of the republican party ,
especially In till ? state.
W. J. Connell I do not anticipate that
the action of the supreme court will liavo
any bearing on the coming campaign. Thp
mere fact that a rehearing has been granted
does not Indicate anj thing , ca It Is customary
to grant a rehearing at the request of a
single mcm'bcr ' of the supreme court. I do
not think that the second heating will chance
the result. If the rehearing should result
In an acquittal It would be a different mat
ter.
ter.D.
D. J. Cornish 'Because ' the supreme court
has given the attorneys another chance to
argue the case , It does not necessarily fol
low that Dartley Is to bo acquitted. A re
hearing Is frequently granteJ because- - the
court Is rot satisfied with the manner In
which the findings are stated end wishes to
hand down another opinion to the same ef
fect. If , Jiowever , It should follow that Dart-
ley bhould be acquitted on a technicality It
would bo a tremendous blow to republican
prospects In Nebraska. The majorltj of the
voteis cannot appreciate a fine point of law.
They j only look at results , and the only thing
they jt t would consider would be the fact that
Dartley 1 was at large.
I. R. Andrews I have not read the
grounds 1 upon which the rehearing was
granted. Doubtless the supreme court had
good i reason for taking that action , but It
will ii have an effect io bo regretted. Dariley
ought to go to the penitentiary. 'Ho ' stole
public I money , and there Is an element In the
case which shows that he did It purposely
and with deliberation. Considering the case
on Its merits he should serve the sentence
cI that I was Imposed upon him.
n. C. Jordan Tlip decision of the supreme
court to reopen the Dtrtley case after every
one had concluded that the matter had been
settled la greatly to be deprecated. I am
.astounded I that the court should take such
action. The pursuance of such a course can-
jnot but have a bad effect on the custodians
t public moneys , and Is bound to work harm
to t the republican party In this state.
A. C. Foster If there waa gross error In
. the trial which would cutltlo Dartley to u
lehcarlng I bellcvo that ho should be given
It. If , however , the action was taken on
some technicality , the effect will bo bad on
the republican party. If he la guilty he
should go to the penitentiary. Men of his
utrlpo should be punlohod1 whcnevei they arc
guilty.
John G. Kuhn I have not yet learned
upon vvlMty grounds the supreme court stood
In granting the rehearing , but I am very
sorry that such action resulted. I think
Dartley got no more than ho deserved. He
Is a thief and ought to go to the penitentiary.
I am ready to condemn any rascality
whether done by a republican or a man of
ether political faith. The republican pirty
hoe been done larm enough without letting
p. guilty man e&capc. From tlc ) conclusions
I have reached ot the guilt of Dartley , I do
not sco that the supreme court Is auutsrv-
Ing the interests of justice In granting the
rehearing.
John Hoslcky I have not had much time
to ' consider the matter , but in my opinion
the i action of the supreme court Is to bo
mucii l legrctted. I believe that Dartloy Is
certainly guilty cf the thefts charged against
him. If the reviewing takes place soon , the
decision of the uuprrmo court may have
llttlo effect , but If It la dragged along for
some time It will certainly Injure the re
publican forty.
E. M. Sten'oerg I don't think the Interests
of the state tan suffer by the re-argument
of the case. I understand that It Is nothing
but a legal formality , no me thing that Is
likely to occur In any case.
Dr. W. H. Ilanchctt Unles ? thdro wen

Hartley has been done some great * injustice.

Attorney acnt rnl Smyth Sppnltn of
thp 'Action' of the Snnrcme Court.
Referring to the action of the supreme
court In granting the motion ot the attorneys
for the defense In the case of the State
against J , S. Hartley for a rcargumcnt of the
matter on appeal , Attorney General Smyth
"While the decision was not unex
pected by me , 1 ao not know * what point the
court desires to hear presented anew. In
fact , as I understand the situation , the whole
case Is opened up again. It Is customary
In such cases to designate the point which
the court desires to have reargucd , and It
may be that such a notice will jot be given
us. It will take at lea-H thirty davs to pre
pare for tbo argument , and I do not sco how
the case can be brought up for prwemtatlcn
before the May sitting of the court. I Infer
tl > at the chief point will be on the constitu
tionality of the depository law. It will be
undertaken by the defense to show that the
ccn > crston by Hartley , If any , occurred In
Lancaster county , and that the case should
bo tried there. I am of the oplnlcu that the
validity or Invalidity of the depository act
can In nowl affect the fact that Hartley
stole the money for which he was convicted.
The fact that a rcargument before the su
preme court has been ordered doea not neces.
sarlly morn that the case will be retried In
the district court. "
Assistant Attorney General Smith said : "I
can't conceive on what grounds the supreme
court granted the rcqucat of the defcrae.
Wo tried the case with the greatest care
and covered every point In ifflue. While
thcro Las been no Intimation , so far as this
office Is concerned , we fancy that It Is pos
sible that the membero of the supreme court
want additional light upon the question of
the constitutionality of the state depository
law. If they do , we will be prepared to pre- |
sent any number of authorities when the
proper time cornet' ' . "
Asked when It was expected to rcarguo the
Hartley caao , Attorney Smith eald : "I don't
know and can't say until I know just what
the position of the court Is. When we
leain wftat Is expected of us , we will pre-
paio our briefs and will present them at
the earliest pcoslble moment. In the mean
time , I e\pect that Hartley will remain In
the Douglas county jail. Ho will certainly
remain there unless ho succeeds In securing
his bond , which at this time seems Im
probable. "
