The Mnto 1ms finished Its direct oxamlnn-
tloii of Andy Hunt In the trial of Chief Clerk
Sudborougu for embezzling I'nclllc Express
comimiiy's funds and the witness was Imme
diately put unilor the nro of n llcrco cross-
examination by Sudborough's counsel.
ly ) noon It looked rather doubtful whether
the defense would succeed in getting In cvl-
deiico on cross-examination. to show that the
$ . ' ,000 Sudborough IB charged -with taking
In HIP fall of 1S9G was authorized by the
company for political purposes. Mr. Hal-
drlge rained the point that It was unlawful
to pay out money In that way , as there Is
nothing In the articles of incorporation of
the company authorizing It to make polltlr.il
campaign expenditures , and therefore any
evidence to show that nny money had been
FO used would ho Immaterial , as It would
not justify the accused In any way. Coun-
eel for Sudbnrotigh contended that It would
bo proper to show that the campaign money
was paid out luulor the Instructions of the
oltlcera of the company , with tlie full knowledge -
edge of tlio company , and put the query to
UHI court. "Why should Mr. Sudborough be
poized upon as a Bcajwgoat for punishment
for the unlawful nets of the company ? "
Judge HaUer confcbscd tliat ho was In
doubt on this particular point and said
ho would lake the matter under advisement.
In winding up its direct examination
the prosecution brought out of the witness
Chat n shortage of about $7,100 was the sub
ject of a conversation in Juno , 1896 , and
Sudborough told Hunt to "fix It sumo
way. "
Thn defense began with six exhibits , the
tlireo "expense envelopes , " the auditor's
draft for $403.75 covering 'those ' three Items.
he check drawn by Hunt on the Commer
cial National bank to Secretary A. J. Lunt
of the county republican central committee
for $300 nnd the nuditor's draft covering
the Lunt check.
3Iniil | > nIittliiK " ' 0 Hnnlf.
Hunt ndmltted that the $1,500 of the "of
fice bank" had boon carried over from 1SS7
to ISO" nnd that In the spring of 1SOS Sud-
borough turned It over to Auditor Bechel.
So far as the money paid out on the "ex
pense envelopes" was concerned he confessed
that the "office bnuk" was In his own per
sonal charge and nobody had authority to
use its funds but himself. It developed that
the third "expense envelope , " which was for
$203.7 ! ! , covered a monthly salary of $153.75 ,
plus $50 for overtime allowed Sudborough.
His personal recollection of these envelopes
jicemcd poor. Ho did not know whether ho
over had any Instructions to make the "ex-
ponao envelopes" nor could he remember just
when ho paid out the money. If the en
velopes over contained any memoranda they
were lost and he had been unable to find
them. When Sudborough was sick after the
legislative session of 1895 and whenever he
was absent subsequently the witness had
acted as chief cleric. The dates , "September
19 , 1S9C , " and "September 21 , 189G , " had been
jmt on the two lirst exhibits by the office
stenographer some time later. Ae to tha
Item of $150 ho thought ho had paid out
various sums aggregating that amount , but
could not say how or when , and the en
f velope had been made In a lax way to cover
them.
. ! TriinmTlpt from Con ny Conrt.
' Sudborougla's attorney had a transcript of
the evidence given by Hunt In County Judge
Ilaxter's court in Juno last year , in which
Hunt testified that the Lunt check was
drawn on his own personal account with the
Commercial National bank and that the
nuditor's draft for the $300 had neon made
by him to reimburse him , but witness could
not recollect what he then testified , though
ho believed ho had said so. This was con
tradictory ot a statement made by him just
previously when ho denied that the Lunt
chock was upon his own personal account.
Ho Jitid forgotten just how the check was
sent to Lunt ; at any rate it was charged up
to Sudborough.
Again the question , "Did you draw up this
chock for the campaign committee under
the Instructions of the officers of the Pa
cific Express company ? " was put to him nnd
I'ounsel for both sides fell Into an argument
nnent Its propriety. Judge Baker said the
question was proper for the purpose of as
certaining whether any other officers of the
company had authorized that expenditure ,
but It It were shown that Sudborough acted
independently ho could not see how It would
help the defendant. "Tho articles of incor
poration of the Pacifj'5 Express company are
nut 'broad ' enough to authorize the payment
of money for the purpose of corrupting leg
islatures or to control political campaigns , "
observed the court. "But It is common
knowledge that this was done , " Insisted
Sudborough's attorney , "and the court is
bound to take legal cognizance of it. " However -
over the question was withdrawn , leaving
the point still undecided.
DrnflH Conic In ISvliIrnce.
Hopijatod attempts wore mada by Sud
borough's lawyers In the afternoon to elicit
from the witness admissions that nil the
money Involved In the case had been au
thorised for campaign purposes and for the
expenses of the express company's lobby at
the legislature of 1890-1897 , but the prose
cution was Wary nnd the court did not let
the main point got before the Jury.
( ! oiug over the various auditor's drafts
ono by one , the defense drew out of Hunt
that they had all < been made under general
instructions from Auditor Dochcl. This , ho
htated , was the case also with the check for
the $300 to Secretary Lunt of the county
central committee. Ho did not recollect
allowing nny of the drafts to Sudborough ,
nor could ho recall how ho had paid the
money to Sudborough. The only memoranda
ho could rely upon wore the drafts them
selves. Ho admitted also that he paid out
In fractional sums. When ho was examined
as to the draft for $280 his memory was
refreshed by 'the Incident of his having paid
$60 to the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
"Do you remember paying this sum to the
Anolent Order of Hibernians ? " counsel for
the defendant inquired ,
"I did make a check for that amount to
"My wife had pimple * on her face , but ,

n frllow who onld he was connected with
the Ancient Order of Hibernians , " was
Hunt's answer.
All the chocks , probably forty or fifty of
them , ho had turned over to Louis Wcttllng.
Mn another draft SiidboroiiRh's attorney
nskcd : "There would be nothing different
on the company's records if you had taken
the ? 2JO out of your own pocket or had
paid It to Mr. IJecbcl ? "
"No , " Hunt replied , "there would not. "
So with the draft for $701.25 there was
no 'better ' ovldcncd of It than the draft Itself
and Hunt was not euro whether ho had paid
to Sudborough the larger part of that
amount on Its dnte , December 1 , 1S06 , or not.
Ho had paid various KIIIIIH at different times
nnd the draft covered them In bulk.
His testimony on the preliminary exam
ination was dug up.
"Didn't you testify then that the money
was paid In different amounts to Sudbor
ough ns It was needed In the campaign ? "
counsel Interrogated.
" 1 never have made nny very positive
statements at any time , " said Hunt , "and I
have no specific recollection of the differ
ent amounts or how they were paid. Yes ,
It Is true that but for the draft I would' not
know whether It was ? 500 or $300. "
"Tho Instructions as to what the money
was to bo used for nnd how It was to be
rhir'jed cauio from Mr. llechel , did they
not ? "
los , thnt Is n fact ; all the payments
ere made under Instructions from Mr.
llechcl. "
This last answer did not como until after
both Messrs. Shields nnd Ualdrlgo had
done their utmost to have the court rule
out the question , but Judge Bukor thought
It a vltnl olio.
Prom this time on the prosecution fought
vigorously against the efforts of the defense
to bring out for what specific purpose the
money was expended. With the exception
of n few Interrogatories the state was suc
cessful nnd the defense had claborato ex
ceptions entered upon the record. Uut some
Important victories were gained for Sud-
bnroilgh In connection with the object for
which the drafts In evidence had been
made.
Some Blub books were placed In the hands
of the witness nnd a question was put to
him , nlmed nt the total nmount of money
the company Is supposed to have used In the
manner contended In the latter part of 1S9C
and the winter nnd spring of 1S97. In the
question the nmount mentioned was
" $1C,000 , " the purpose of the defense being
to show that this sum had ibcon used for
"legislative expenses. " This question was
ruled out , but others concerning the stubs
of the particular drafts already admitted
In evidence upon the direct examination
wore allowed. The witness was permitted to
identify the words , "Sund Exp. , Neb. Legls. "
on ono of the stubs that of the $2,000
draft of December 2 ns meaning "sundry
expenses , Nebraska legislature , " and other
similar facts relating to the character of
the accounts kept In the nuditor's depart
ment were likewise admitted. An effort was
made by the defense to prove by Hunt that
a "legislative expense" account was kept , if
not in the regular account books , at least
In the draft and check books , and that
eventually all these "legislative expenses"
wore embraced within the "refund account. "
The fact thnt all this was being essayed
on cross-examination operated as a handicap
to Sudborough's attorneys.
If Judge Baker should rule that the de
fense cannot use Hunt on cross-examination
to show that the money was used for politi
cal purposes and to maintain the lobby at
Lincoln It will not bar it from getting in
the same evidence on a direct examination
of its own witnesses.

FarnHloy II r In UN Suit to Hoi-over
I , mid KxohmiKcrt for ConilN.
William J. Glair went before Judge Dickin
son Wednesday afternoon on behalf of
Theodore Karnsley nnd secured a restrain
ing order to prevent Mrs. Frances S. Dunn
from lu nny way molesting him In his own
ership and use of the furniture and fixtures
of the Brunswick hotel.
Farnsley's story Is that ho nnd Mrs. Dunn
negotiated for. a trade on March 3 by which
the Brunswick furniture and fixtures were
to bo swapped for 240 acres of land to Mrs.
Dunn in Texas county , Missouri. A bill of
sale , in accordance with this arrangement ,
was drawn up , the consideration named be
ing $1,500. Mrs. Dunn represented to him
that her property -was worth all of $3,000 ,
being eight miles from the county scat , 100
acres of It being under cultivation and
rented : ten 'ncres a fruit orchard , and the
remaining 130 acres good bottom timber
land. Ho says her representations were not
true , and thnt she came Into possession of
his bill of sale surreptitiously. Accordingly
ho asks that the bill of sale bo canceled.
that she bo enjoined from Interfering with
his effects at the hotel or from claiming
any title to them.
This is equivalent to n suit to bar from
possession. In the restraining order March
19 was set as the date for a hearing for a
temporary injunction.

An action Involving the liability of an In

In January , 1897 , the Cudahy company
paid to the defendant $2,400 for un insurance
policy. Just a year later , by the falling ot
a Hour of Its cooper shop , John Novak was
killed and Michael O'Day , Edward Callnhan
and Chris Montgomery received Injuries.
Flvo thousand lollar damage suits against
the Cudahy company were brought by No

tween the Cudahy company and the agent
hero ot the Casualty company authorizing
the Cudahy company to eettlo with the
claimants on the following basis : Novak ,
$1,500 ; Montgomery , $1,200 ; Callahan , $250 ;

the Cudahy company could make was $3,000
to Mrs. Novak , $1,200 to Montgomery and
$351 each to Callahan and O'Day. The suit
Is now brought to recover $3,150 $ on the basis
of the agreement between the two companies.

MAYOR AND ENGINEER ARE HIT HARD

Appropriation.
The heads of the various city departments
ha\o not quite recovered from the shock that
was administered by the city council in
reducing the amounts of money with whldh
they are expected to run during the year.
Consequently , while all nro resigned to the
Inevitable and will retrench In their ex
penses , they are not yet prepared to say
Just how the reductions will bo mado. There
Is little doubt but that men will bo dis
charged In some of the departments , whllo
other offices will try to trim their sails in
other ways.
The two offices which nro hit the hardest
nro the mayor's and the city enslneer'a.
The $4,000 $ apportionment for the former is
20 per cent less than for last year , whllo
the cut from $13,000 to $10,800 In the city
engineer's department is very nearly In the
same proportion. If those figures are not
Increased the mayor will have to dispense
with the services of his stenographer or pay
her salary out of his own pocket. The city
engineer has not made his plans for reor
ganization yet , but ho Insists that his force
Is being paid the lowest possible wages now
nnd that If the council furnishes no relief
he will discharge enough men to keep within
his apportionment.
HHn the Comptroller Iliiril.
The city comptroller's office also feels
the blow. Whllo It Rota the same amount
for maintenance as last year , $7,200 , yet
last year the council appropriated $1,800 out
of the general fund to pay the salaries of
a couple of extra men. Unless money la
provided In some way City Comptroller
Westberg insists that these two men must
go. The situation is somewhat the same
In the treasurer's ofllce. Whllo that olllco
gets the samu amount as in 1S9S $15,000
last year the council appropriated additional
money for the maintenance of the office.
For example , some $2,000 was appropriated
for help to make up the delinquent tax list.
Councilmen say this extra appropriation will
not be made this year , and the city treas
urer will therefore have to reduce his force
or cut salaries , or in souio other way trim
his expenses.
The other departments of the city gov
ernment are cut in smaller amounts , aver
aging a few hundred dollars. These nro
devising ways nnd means of so ieducing
their running expenses that no discharges
or outs In salaries will have to be made.
This Is the case in all except the building
Inspector's office , where no provision is
mude for an assistant building inspector.
Inasmuch as a resolution Is now pending
In the council which will dispense with the
bervlces of this assistant , Building Inspector
Butler Is not so much put out by his re
duced apportionment as other officials.
In all this retrenchment there Is one cut
that will moro directly affect the public at
largo than any other. This Is the reduc
tion of the fund for the street department
from $12,000 to $10,000. City Engineer
Hosowater , as chairman of the Hoard of
Public Works , however , is not concerning
himself much about this. Ho maintains
that as the council will not permit him to
do any work on the streets except under
specific Instructions , that body will have
to solve the problem.

POTTER PAYS OUT THE CASH
Klvc Per Cent Divlilciul for Nc-
lirnnka Suvliin" Ilnnlc
All day the receiver for the Nebraska
Savings bank , W. K. Potter , was kept busy
paying the 5 per cent dividend recently de
clared. The depositors who called were
mostly of the working classes and were
very anxious , naturally , to receive their
money. The amounts received vary all the
way from $2 to $700 , and as the depositors
passed before the window they were asked
to sign a receipt for the amount they re
ceived , nnd were thnn paid lu gold. Just
how much was paid out by Receiver Patter
cannot bo acurately estimated. It ia safe
to say , however , that it reached the neigh
borhood of $15,000.
Ever since the failure of itho bank nnd
the appointment of Mr. Potter as receiver
there has been a perpetual clash between the
depositors ! and the stockholders. V. O.
Strlckler has represented a goodly number
of the depositors and a very stubborn fight
has been mndo In the courts. Sensational
charges have been made by the two oppos
ing factions , but the , fricnds of the re
ceiver , Mr , Potter , point to the fact that
since his recelvorHhip the liabilities of the
bank have been reduced from $201,000 to
$84,000 , as evidence of his business ability
and clirowd financial methods. On the other
hand , it Is said that the affairs of the bank
have been manipulated In the interest of
itlio few to the detriment of the many. The
report of the receiver , which is to bo mndo
ptibllo within a few days , promises to do
niuoh to clear up 'tho ' situation.

BOARD MEMBERS FEEL GOOD
I'lcnupil to Know Thnt They May
Sluice the Lory for School
1'iirpones.
The telegraphic report from Lincoln that
the house had recommended for passage the
bill which will enable the Board of Educa
tion to fix Its own tax levy without inter-
forenoe at the hands of the council. Is re
ceived with varied feelings at tie city hall.
Members of the Board of Education are
elated at tie progress of the measure , whllo
the members of the city council nnd other
city officials are correspondingly disap
pointed.
"It is an outrageous measure and these
property owners who are kicking about tax
burdens ought to see that It Is defeated , for
It will enable the Board of Education to
spend money with moro lavlshnosa than It Is
doing under the present law , " is City At
torney Council's opinion of the bill. "
"It will bo a good law , " on the other
hand comments President Penfold of the
Board of Education. "It will permit the
Board of Education to levy the money It
needs to run the schools , which the board
can determine bettor than the city council.
( Moreover there will bo less politics in
determining the school levy than Is now dis
played by the city council. "
The bill gives the board moro power than
the existing law. The law at present pro
vides that the board shall notify the city
council annually of the amount of money
necessary to run the schools during the com
ing year nnd the council must ralso It , but
the latter body Is given the option of raising
the funds from licenses nnd other sources
as well as by means of n. tax lovy. The pro
posed law , on the other hand , gives the
board the power to fix In mills without re
gard to other sources of income the levy for
school purposes and the council must make
the levy whether It wishes to or not.
This bill was Introduced by Detweller and
there Is consequently something of comedy
attached to the fact that he nlFo Introduced
another bill , drawn up by City Attorney
Council , which Is diametrically opposed to
the other because It lessens the power the
board at present has over the school levy.
This second bill provides that the Board
of Education shall report to the city council
the money It needs for school purposes , but
the council Is required to rnisa only such
part of this estimate ns It deems necessary.
Thus the latter bill practically gives the
council the entire power of determining the
school levy , whllo the other gives the ab
solute power to the Board of Education.
This situation has naturally resulted In
considerable antagonism between the two
bodies and neither of the bills will pass
without a fight. This scrap will take place
when ono of the bills conies up for passage
and will probably occur over the ono favored
by the board , which has been recommended
for passage. Secretary ( illlan has gone U >
Lincoln to look after Its Interests , whllo
Ilepreaentatlve Beverly will probably lead
the opposition.

TOM MURRAY'S SHANTIES GO
Annoclnlocl Clinrlllcn riot Hold r
the Hnrnry Street
ItlMV.
The death knell of the famous "Tom Mur
ray row" has been sounded. The Associated
Charities have bought the buildings and will
tear them down. The buildings will bo car
ried to the yard of the association nnd there
split up Into kindling wood for the benefit
of the poor of the city. For years these
buildings have been nn eyesore to the taxpaying -
paying citizens of Omaha. Most of the
buildings were moved to their present quar
ters by Murray nnd represent what he has
accumulated In addition to his other junk.
If It Is possible to term buildings old junk
the Murray row certainly deserves the name.
It had been expected that the tearing
down of the bulldlues would start yester
day , but there was a hitch that had not
been anticipated. When the Asuociated Char
ities people were ready to begin operations
it was found that Tom Murray was not
ready , that ho had not as yet moved out ,
nor had a great majority of the people that
have been occupying the buildings for the
last six months , so the Associated Charitlea
decided to postpone operations for the day
at least. Just when the work will be begun
Is hard to say , but It will bo done , and the
disgraceful row of buildings between Boyd's
theater and the Public library will not long
remain to make the average citizen of
Omaha ashamed of the disgrace to the com
munity that has existed for so many years.
