BANK CASE ON FOR HEARING
State's Suit to Keoover Money Fold Oat on
Bartley's Check.
JURY SECURED AND CASE STATED
Attorney * Tell What They Hxiiect to
Prove and the 1'Mmt WltnenHC *
Called Identify the Chuck
and Warrant.
The trial of the suit of the state against
the Omaha National bank and Its president ,
J. H. Mlllard , over the Hartley $201,000 check
transaction began yesterday in Judge
Baker's court. The forenoon was taken with
the Impaneling ot a jury , which was not
quite completedat noon , though tbo defense
bad exercised two out ot its three peremp
tory challenges and the state had waived one
nd exercised another. There were no chal
X lenges for cause.
Messrs. Connell , R. S. Hall and Webster
appeared tor the bank and Mr. Mlllard. A
very brief statement of the case \vas made
for the state by Attorney General Smyth , as
be was about to examine for cause. It waste
to the effect that Joseph S. Bartley , formerly
treasurer of the state ot Nebraska , had
paid over to the bank and to Mr. Mlllard
1202,884.05 on January 2 , 1897 , out of funds
belonging to thet state , which amount the
etato seeks to recover.
Mr. Smyth also asked the jurors whether
any of them were depositors. After him
Mr. Connell preased them aa to whether
their citizenship and general Interest In the
state would bo allowed to affect their ver
dict In any way.
The defense exercised two of its peremp-
torles upon David Thompson ot Twenty-sec
end and Spauldlng , a carpenter , and Sydney
'A. Jones ot 3039 Emroett , a harnessmaker ,
nd too state ono of Us upon J. O. May , a
Couth Omaha blacksmith.
The remaining two challenges were used
Up after dinner by excusing Fred W. Win
ning of 4303 Grant street , a depositor ot the
bank , and Henry Forlander , a South Omaha
carpenter. The following twelve men were
then'iworn to try the case :

president , for the purpose of redeeming the
warrant of $180,101.75 of the Chemical
National bank of New York , was a bona tide
one or not. He said ho would show that
Mr. Bartley had no authority to convert
the funds of the state to any such use and
in no way could the bank bejustified. . It
also came out that the prosecution was pro
ceeding on the theory that the warrant was
void and not based upon any authority of
law. i
A rather elaborate argument was made
by Mr. Connell in presenting his side of
the case. It amounted to this : Bartley had
done nothing more than he was authorized
to do as state treasurer and It was an or
dinary business transaction for him to
check against his own regular account.
The bond of the bank , as a state depository ,
required It to honor his drafts on his own
deposits as such state treasurer , which
bond had been approved by the attorney
general himself. The only concern at all
interested In the transaction had been the
Chemical National bank , as the holder of
the warrant , and It the state had any ac
tion at all It was against the Chemical
National bank , as there was nothing In
the complaint to show that cither the
Omaha National bank or Mr. Mlllard had
profited on cent in the transaction. The
facts were , he said , that the Chemical Na
tional had sent a warrant to the Omaha
National , as Its correspondent , for collec
tion , and Bartley had drawn the check
for Its redemption In the ordinary course
ot business , the warrant having been based
upon an act ot the state legislature and
signed by the state auditor. Mr. Connell
read the title ot this act. It was for an
appropriation for the current expenses of
the state for the years ending March 31 ,
1896 , and March 31 , 1897 , and to pay mis
cellaneous items ot Indebtedness.
Court TiikeN 11 Ilflef Turn.
Mr. Smyth made frequent objections to
the line ot argument Indulged In by Mr.
Conner ) , and when ho came to a reference
to the validity of the warrant and the act
of the legislature ho objected all the more
strenuously. Judge Baker then put In a
word himself , saying ho would determine
all the questions of raw in the case and
whether the warrant was valid or the act
of the legislature a proper one. Mr. Con
nell remarked there would bo nothing left
for the Jqry to do. "The jury wilt have to
do only what I tell them , " the court re
torted. Mr. Council's observation and the
court's rejoinder produced a general grin In
which the jurors joined as heartily as any
one. A further comment by Connell that
courts sometimes did not know all the Jaw
brought out from the Judge another retort.
"I know all the law in this particular case , "
he said. "Well , if I can't tell you what the
undisputed law is , " said Conneir , turning
himself to the jury , "I will go on to the
next proposition. "
The "next proposition" was that In con
tradiction of the state's allegation that the
bank did not hold any claim against It the
bank did hold the warrant for collection.
"At that time. " said Mr. Connell , "Bartley
was supposed to bo an honest state official
and his wrongful acts were unknown. Mr.
Mlllard was not required to take judicial no
tice of the articles which appeared In the
newspapers. The check itself shows that
the bank was not directed to pay the money
to Itself or to Mr. Millard , but that the
money was Intended to be used for the pur
pose of redeeming this warrant. The state
first alleges that what Mr. Mlllard did ha
did as the president of the bank and then
it seeks to make him personally responsible
for the money. As Mr , Smyth cays he Is
suing to recover money Bartfey embezzled. "
During the course of hla remarks ho said
the whole matter had been to "cover up a
shortage In that center of corruption , fho
city of Lincoln , owing to the failure of the
Capital bank and the Mosher transactions. "
The first witness put on the stand by Mr ,
Smyth was Cashier William Wallace ot the
defendant bank. Mr. Smyth got la the cum
brous deposit memoranda of the bank to
Identify the transaction of tbo check and
also the answer of the defense to Identify the
warrant. His third exhibit was the warrant
Itself. R. S. Hall cross-examined. To almost
every question put by Mr. Hall.Mr. . Smyth
raised a technical objection. Nevertheless the
court allowed considerable latitude end it
came out that a letter had come from the
Chemical National bank accompanying the
warrant and that the warrant had been
taken up by Bartley's check to Mr. Mlllard ;
In short , that the money was paid to the
Chemical National bank.
State Treasurer Meservo was also called
to Identify the warrant as a public record.
A continuance was then taken to 9 o'clock
this morning.
It the case Is not finished today Judge
Baker says be will bold court Monday.

ho was sentenced to three years.
Davis was found guilty of forging North
western tickets for passage between Coun
cil Bluffs and Chicago. The 'ticket * were
printed almost a fac Simile of the originals
and tbo margins torn after the style of this
particular kind of ticket , so as to designate
the points of designation. Davis' defense
was that the tickets had been given to him
by a curbstone ticket scalper to sell and he
supposed they were all right.

the Conclusion of the Duchcl
Trial.
Judge Slabaugh concluded yesterday
morning to take up the gambling case
against Jack Norton so as to finish up the
jury business of the term and take advan
tage of the last jury day. The attorney for
Norton said his client was too sick to ap
pear for trial , but nn examination of Nor
ton's condition was made by City Physician
Spaldlng with the result that Norton's
health was officially reported good enougli.
It had not been the intention ot Judge
Slabaugh to try any more jury coses this
term , but Deputy County Attorney Winter
said he had been holding his principal wit
nesses her6 from Kansas for some time and
he hoped the matter would be disposed of.
The witnesses ho referred to are Phillips ,
the "pin game" operator , and Hanson , who
had been employed by Phillips. Wichita ,
Kan. , is the home of Phillips.
All the progress made In tbo case by noon
was the examination for cause by Winter
of the first twelve men called. He passed
for cause and the court promptly took its
dinner recess.
In less than a half hour after the court
reconvened a jury was secured and a con
tinuance was taken until this morning.
The Jury as agreed upon consists of Elmer
Lathrop , Thirteenth and Corby ; George
Hoist , South Omaha ; John R. Larson , 1027
Ohio ; Anton Franke , South Omaha ; J. W.
Shannon , South Omaha ; F. J. Hartman , 1103

Norton is charged with having run a "pin
game" Joint on North Sixteenth street. On
his preliminary examination James Phillips
was the main witness against him. Phil
lips testified that Norton had engaged him
to conduct the peculiar game of the latter
just about the time the place was pulled.

ENFORCING SANITARY RULES
Inspector Matza Complains that Police Judge

ONE CASE THAT HAS CAUSED A CLASH
Gordon Sny * lie IN Dolns 111ft Fall

Kuurer In Some IiiHtitncc *
IJr. SuuIdliiK' * Opinion.
The advice to the public to make a general
effort to clean up existing nuisances as one
means of stifling the Incipient epidemic of
smallpox brings out a vigorous remonstrance
from Peter Matza , sanitary Inspector ,
against the methods of the police court in
cases that ' Involve this class of offenders.
Mntza avers that it Is of little use to try
to compel the public to clean up when the
police judge refuses to co-operate with tao
health department by enforcing the ordi
nance by which nuisances are prohibited. In
support of his contention the Inspector cites
the cane ot Nicholas Frederlckson of 3930
Seward street. He says that December 6 ho
served a notice on Frederlckson to remove a
quantity of night soil that ho had taken
from his premises and dumped on a vacant
lot on the southwest corner of Thirty-eighth
and Franklin streets. Frederlckson neglec
ted to comply and a few days later bo filed
a complaint against him for maintaining a
nuisance. Matza adds that he appeared In
police court December 10 , but Judge Gordon
told him ho had given Frederlckson until
ten da > s later. On tbo latter date he ap
peared with his witnesses and the juage
continued tho'caso until the next day. This
has been repeated every day and Matza has
been on hand with bis witnesses eevry day ,
only to bo told to come again the next day.
In the meantime tbo nuisance remains to
menao the health of the neighborhood , and
Matza declares that this Is only ono ot doz
ens jot cases In which the health department
Is unable to enforce the ordinances on ac
count of the failure of Judge Gordon to sup
port It.
Matza was In the police court yesterday
again , but Frederlckson did not appear.
Judge Gordon dented with vigor that ho Is
In any respect delinquent In his duty , and
declared that It is Motza's fault that Fred-
crlckson was not in court. Ho Bays that
Matza had gone to the premises , but neg
lected to inform Frederlckson that he is
wanted In police court. "I know Frederick-
son , " added his honor , "and I know him to
bo a good citizen and under the circum
stances I did not consider It right to send
out the patrol wagon and have him hauled
down hero in disgrace. I sent a capias to
bis house yesterday , but ho was not at
home. I supposed the capias was left there
and that ho would be here this morning. I
am always ready to do my duty , but the
trouble is that In many of these cases the
prosecution Is inspired merely by an anxiety
to collect the fee for hauling the garbage ,
and when they have accomplished that they
have no further Interest In tlio case. "
Commissioner Spaldlng of the health de
partment says 'that In the case referred to
ho merely Knows that the nuisance exists
and what the Inspector has reported. Ho
sajs that Judge Gordon has done pretty well
recently In assisting the department to enforce
'
force th'e ordinances and he has no com
plaint to make in that respect.

PROVIDE DINNERS FOR NEEDY
One Hundred Omaha Families to He
Looked After on Clirlit-
ina * .
Christmas day will mark a now departure
la the practices of the Jacksonlan club ot
this city. On that day 100 families In
Omaha who might not have had anything
besides bread and coffee for dinner , will have
a sumptuous feast at the expense of the
club.
Several weeks ago Ed P. Smith , the newly
elected president of the club , wrote to well
known workers la charitable fields asking
them to send him the names of the most
needy families under their observation. No
section of the city was designated , nor any
c ass , eect or creed , but charitable organiza
tions dealing with all classes of people were
consulted. The result was that 100 families
were reported to Mr. Smith as likely to pass
the day wholly or partially hungry , unless
provisions caino from outside sources.
The Jacksonlan club appropriated money
from Its treasury to cover the expense of
the charity , and 100 complete dinners will
be purchased and will be eent to each ot the
families. They will not even have to come
otter it , but It wllr be taken to their doors ,
and there will be plenty of good things for
alj members of the family. The articles are
beltvj : bought today , and the deliveries wlU
probably be made tomorrow.
Bitt while engaged In this charitable work
the officers of the club have not become
so engrossed with the doctrine of peace
and good will as to forget the Interests of
the organization. For Instance , a few days
ago the Chicago democrats telephoned to
Omaha asking the club to postpone Its
annual banquet until Monday evening , Janu
ary 9 , leaving the Saturday date open for
the Chicago club. The modest men in the
Windy City are going to have a banquet
and they want Congressman Sulzer of New
York and W. J. Dryan to speak there , both
of whom are billed for Omaha. These men'
pass through Chicago and the organization
there suggests it would be more convenient
to have them stop oft a day and speak
there and then resume tbo journey to Omaha.
Tbo Omaha democrats , however , are not
Investing in gold bricks. They say they do
not care for any secondhand speeches. They
allege that what Chicago wants Is to get
the first public address from Mr. Bryan ,
with its probable outline of democratic policy
on expansion , This the local democrats
want and insist they are going to have.
That Is what the wires said In the receiver
at the Chicago end. Chicago then rung off.
Local democrats continue to look forward
to thU banquet with considerable Interest.
They repeat their oft-made declarations that
it will be the biggest thing in the history
of the club. Their Interest has grown
visibly during the last few days since dis
patches from eastern political storm centers
suggest that a deal is on foot to moke Bryan
the presidential candidate in 1900 , with
Congressman Sulzer his running mate. With
both of these on the card at the coming
banquet the democrats are ready to believe
that something important is apt to happen
at the feast. Hence they arc eager to
secure a seat at the table. They can hardly
wait for the day to come.

After being out all nlghi the jury la the
Bechel case brought In a verdict of acquit

eager crowd was awaiting their entrance
into the court room , and as soon as the
gong sounded a signal that the jury had
agreed upon their verdict the court room
became BO thronged that a great many in
terested spectators bad to stand up.
Ther was a breathless silence as the clerk
read the verdict , but as ( the words "not

feeling of relief In a general buzz. It was
somewhat difficult for Bailiff Heacock to
ke-ep order. "Is this your verdict , gentle
men ? " the clerk asked. "It Is , " spoke out
every ono of the jurors In unison.
The friends of Bechel gathered around
him and bis attorney , Mr. Council , and were
piofuse in their congratulations. It was
some tlmo before the court room could re
sume its usual decorum.
For a while it seemed as though the jury
would disagree. Not a great many ballots
were taken , although but one or two ot the
jurors were stubborn and continued to hang
out for conviction. This morning , however ,
when the deliberations were resumed the
argument of tbo overwhelming majority hail

waa taken about the hour for the court to
