Acting under Instructions which ho
stnted ho had received from Justlco of
the I'cucu Ovlde Vlen, Cohstublo HI Dalrd
attempted yesterday afternoon to levy on
the cash In the safe In tho county audi
tor's ofllce nnd on bolng denied this priv
ilege mado nn equally futllo ettort to nt
tnch part of the money In County Treas
urer's Arnd's olllco. County Treasurer
Amd notllled tho constublo that If lie
made a move to touch a cent of thu
county's money ho would bo thrown
thniUKh tho window. Constnblo Hnlrd du
cldcd that tindur the clrcumstntices dis
cretion was the best part of vnlor and bo
ln a little uncortaln ns to whether tho
Instructions he had received from Justlco
Vlen were exactly In accordance with tho
strict letter of law, he withdrew without
having secured any of the funds belonging
to l'ottuwnttnmle county.
The attempted seizure on the part of tho
constable of tho county funds wus due
to a Judnmcnt that Constnblo Albertl hud
secured by default against the county IB
Justice Vlen's court yesterday morning
At tho Inst session of the Hoard of County
Supervisors Constnblo Albertl presented n
bill for $10, being expenses Incurred by
htm In connection with tho Bolruro of tho
liquor stock of Charles Dobbins, the
Ilrondu-ay saloonkeeper, under proceedings
Instituted by J. W. Scott. Tho board ro
fuxed to ullow tho bill and Constable
Albertl ht ought suit against the county In
Justice Vlen's court. Notice was duly
served on County Auditor Inncs, but ow
ing to pressure of business, political nnd
otherwise, lie forgot to notify tho county
attorney of the suit. Consequently tho
county made no defense, the ense wan
called nnd Justice Vlen promptly entered
hp Judgment In favor of his constable
against tho county for $10 and $1.70 coats.
Not denlrlng to levy on a Judgement
which was In bis favor. Albertl secured
the services of Hi Ualrd. tho constnblo in
Justice Ferrler's Justice emporium. On
reaching tho county auditor's olllco Con-
stnuic uairu noiiucu Auuuor iiiucm unu
he was there for the express purpose of
attaching so much of the cash In tho safe
ns would be necessary to satisfy tho Judg-
ment.
"The money In that safe is my personal
property and not a dollar of It belongs
to tho county nnd I defy you to Iny n
linger on It," said the county audtor.
"Oh yes. but I must. Justlco Vlen said
I could seize any cush I might llnd In tho
safe in your oillce." replied thu constable. I
standing on tiptoe bo as to make his four
feet, six Inches of height look ns near
live root ns possioie. i must insist, iu
tho name of tho Inw that you allow me
access to that safe."
County Auditor Innes opened tho win
dow overlooking the nice grass plot out
side tho front of tho building nud turning
to the constable said: "If you make ono
move townrd that safe I shall bo reluct
antly but none the less surely compelled
to throw you out that window. See!"
Tho constable saw nnd started across
tho hall to the oillce of tho county treas
urer, where lie reiterated his demand In
tho name of tho law and Justlco of the
l'eaco Ovlde Vlen that ho bo permitted to
nttnch so much of tho county's cash ns
uccessnry to satisfy the Judgment In his
possession. As soon ns County TrenBurer
Arnd hnd recovered from his surprise hq
looked nt tho diminutive constnblo and
quietly Informed him that If ho ventured
inside . the oillce behind tho counter he
would bo forced to eject him through
tho window. The cash was not disturbed
nnd the constable roturned to Justice Vlen
for fresh Instructions.
In telling of tho attempt to raid tho
county treasury County Auditor Inues said
that thu proper method to collect n
Judgment ngalnst tho county as prescribed
by statute Is to present same at tho next
meeting of the Hoard of Supervisors for
payment and If It Is refused to then apply
to thu court for a mandamus to compel
tho board to settle It. Mr. Inues ex
preflscd much surprise that Justlco Vlen,
after being In oflico for eight years con
tinuously, should havo not bocn nwaro of
this und should have given tho Instruc
tions to. the constable which tho latter
asserted ho had.

Woman'" Cltili Work.
Tho members of tho Council Muffs Wom
an's club nro agitating the question of rep
resolution on the Hoard of Library Trus
tees. Tho removal of J. I). Kdmundson to
Des Moines In thu near future promises to
cause n vacancy on the board and tho club
members feel that ouo of tho women who
were Instrumental In founding tho library
should bo given ii placo on tho board.
The club womun contend that a woman,
hnvlng more lelsuro time, nt her dUpos.il,
sho could give moro attention to tho details
of library work than the othor members.
The addition Is yet In Its Infancy nnd bo
far tho matter has not been broached to
Mayor Jennings, with whom lies the ap
pointive power In case of n vuenncy aris
ing. When asked yesterday If ho had nny
objection to appointing n woman on the
library board Mnyor Jennings said that If
the citizens were In favor of the Woman's
club being represented on tho board ho hnd
no objection.
Tho Council HliifTs Woman's club has
abandoned the Idea of a matron for tho city
Jnll. Through Its attorney It has learnol
that tho section providing for two or moro
matrons In cities of 25,000 nnd upwards
was subsequently araondod, making the ap
pointment of such nn otllclal optional with
tho mnyor. As It Is known that Mnyor Jen
nings Is unalterably opposed to havlug a
matron at thu city Jnll, the club women
realize that It Is useless to further agitato
the matter and will wait until tho city ad
ministration Is In tho hnnds of a republican
mayor.

"Tho republicans will carry Wisconsin

and until recently the democrats havo been
claiming It, but I am confident that wo

thut tho Issuo of imperialism has bocn

WESTC0TT LOSES HIS TEMPER

I''ather-tn-LuTV llriimln Ortuln
Statement ii "Outlined Lies."
NEW YORK. Oct. 2. Hearing was re
sumed before Commlsloncr Shields for the
removal of B. D. Orceno nnd J. F., E. M.
and W. F. Gnynor to the Jurisdiction of the
Georgia federal court. Robert V. West
cott, fathcr-ln-Iaw of Captain Carter, who
has been under cross-examination during the
last two days ot thu hearing, was tho first
witness.
Counsel for tho defense showed Mr. Wcst
cott cancoled checks aggregating $50,961
drawn by him to the order of H. D. Greene
and asked what they wero for. Mr. West
cott suld he could not remember.
To u direct question Mr. Weatcott said
he never knew until the beginning ot the
present proceeding that I). 1). Green was
Interested In any of the Savannah contracts.
He said ho had some Indistinct memory ot
the Atlantic Construction company, but did
not know what business It was In. He
did not recollect hnvlng loaned Captain
Greene $19,000 to carry out u contract in
Georgia.
Mr. Kellogg produced several letters from
Mr. Greene usklug loans and letters from
Mr. Westcott to Mr. Greeno enclosing sums
varying from $5,000 to $16,000.
In his direct examination Mr. Westcott
said ho honored Greene's requests for money
under Instructions from Captain Carter.
"Did you rfet letters from Greeno for
every check you sent him?" asked coun
sel. 'No; frequently I had nothing but In
structions from Carter."
Mr. Wostcott said Carter paid nil the
money ndvanced to Greeno oxcept $21,000,
which Greene paid himself by check. Coun
sel took the witness Into nil tho details
ot his purchase In 1S94 of a piece of prop-
cry on Eighth avenuo that ho Biibfequently
sold without proflt to Carter. Mr. Westcott
said he paid for the property In bills. He
could not remember the transaction nnd
could cot find nny record of it In his check
book.
All through the cross-exumlnstlon coun
scl had several times reforred to Intorma
tlon glvnn to thu government by Mr. West
cott. The witness lost his temper when tho
accusation was mado today.
"I never said a word," ho retorted, "until
after Captain Carter's sentence wus con
firmed and he whs In jail. I gave my books
nnd papers to my counsel, Mr. Stlmson of
Root, Stlmson & Howard, for Investigation
after your firm had accused me of being a
partner with Oaynor.'"
Witness denied that ho was ever a part
ner of Gaynor.
Tho witness snld in nn excited way when
counsel taunted him on his Improved mem
ory: "It is n striking Incident In n man's
llfo when ho is accused of being a il d
thief. You know that I nm Innocent nnd
that these statements nre d d lies, made
because I refuse to bo Implicated."
The witness In reply to a question said
he was Innocent and admitted that he re
ceived $100,000 from Captain Carter. Hut
he said he understood tho money came from
Greene.
"You had transactions of $50,000 with Held
& Flagg and you can't tell us anything nbout
them?" asked tho counsel.
"I have had transactions of millions nnd
can't recall tho detallB," Westcott replied.
