M (From a Staff Correepondent.) . I LINCOLN. Mar 22 (Special.) The al- . leged retention of state fundi br former Bacretarr of State Porter 1i again brought to tba attention of the public br tha filing today of an extensive brief and argument In tba aupreme roart. The showing la made In the cane wherein the atata la seek- lug to recover from Porter or his auretlea I doubtful whether or not tbe reward will be approximately $1,600 paid Into his office aa I paid over unleas the Lincoln witness sue thla cltr that Beard, alias tnman, might be brought back bera If the authorlttea wished to try him for complicity In tba Glllllan murder. St. Paul officers wanted Beard on tha charge of murdering Policeman Mayer, but It Is supposed that they have given the matter up and will allow tha prisoner to coma to Lincoln. Detective Malone la confident the prisoner la guilty and there la a witness In tba city who aaw tha men running away from tha sceas of the crime last August. By thla wttneaa It Is expected that Beard can ba Identified. Chief Hoaxland wired Chief Hayes today that he would rend for Beard, although It Is fees for tha registration of cattle brands. a but never accounted for. Porter admits that ha appropriated tha money to his own use. but pate forth a plea' somewhat aim j """liar to that urged In tbe Meeerve raaa. In (ha district court Judge Froat decided that ha bad no right to take the money, but r that, having taken It, he could net ba com i called to pay It back to the state. IS Th 'aw under which Portet waa acting a a member of the Brand and Marka com 5 anlsslon provided that each registration fee i ft 11.60 be divided Into five equal parte. i tha three members and tbe secretary of tata each to get one part and the remain log fifth to ba for expenses of tbe commla- alon. Under this law Porter collected $4.M9. i Oat of the sum he paid to each of tha three members 20 per cent, $922.80, $2,771.40 to , all, and retained I92S.S0 In addition to his annual aalary, which la limited by tba con i atltution to $2,000. Tba incidental expense fund under the statue waa likewise 20 per ' cent of the entire amount collected, or $923.80. Out of the latter ha paid Incl dental expenses to the extent of $228.75. There remained, therefore. In the Incidental . expense fund $594.06. Thla latter sum Por ; lUr paid to g. E. Starrett In addition to a ' monthly aalary of $100, drawn from the atate treasury' under a legislative appro ; prtatlon for his services as a clerk In the office of tha secretary of state. These . facta. Porter's election and qualification and his official bond, are fully and formally aat forth In the petition and admitted by a Joint demurrer of all defendants. Tha atate aued Porter for $59f.05 paid to ; Etarrett and for $922 60 retained by Porter, tba two itema amounting to $1,M8.85. Mar Effect Other Railroad Cases. i Tha action of the aupreme court In dls missing tbe case of tbe State against Tba , Missouri Pacific Railroad may be later held to apply similarly to the state's caaea against the Union Pacific and tha Rock ! . Island railroads. These three actions were begun by the popocratlc trust-smashing at torney general to recover magnificent sums from tba railroads because of violations of the maximum freight rata law, notwith standing thla law had in effect been held ' unconstitutional by the Cnjted States su preme court' because It constituted a re straint of trade and traffic. In dismissing tha Miaaouri Pacific case the supreme court declared that tba action waa In tha nature of a criminal proceeding and therefore could not ba started in the supreme court In original Jurisdiction, i Tha casea against tha Union Pacific and the Rock Island were based on tha same ground, but thus far tbe aame queatlon of jurisdiction baa not been i raised In either of them.

Contract Held 10 Be- Valid. In an opinion delivered by tha aupreme court, a contract between a husband and bis wife, made In Cuming county, waa held void on tbe ground that it waa contrary to publlo policy.

ALLIANCE. Neb.. May 22. (Special Tel egram.) District court for Boa Butte county convened In this city Monday, but nothing startling took place until this afternoon, when tbe caae of tha State of Nebraska against August Jahnke for tbe murder of Michael Sierka brought out a confession from Oliver Olson, who Is charged aa an accessory to the crime. Ol son's confession Is aa follows: We had entered Into an agreement to kill Mike Sierks and I was to have half of toehold man's life insurance for which Jahnke waa tha beneficiary and a abare in tbe old man'a eatate which waa by previoua Inducement also devised to Jabnke. We made three attempts upon bis life which were unsuccessful. The first time we let blm fall into a 120-foot well onto a piece of pipe projecting four feet from tbe bot tom. Tba aecood time we put corrosive sublimate in his coffee at two different times, but this failed, aa the old man vomited It all up and wa played sick, placing the cause with the whisky wa had been drinking. The third waa to shoot him with a revolver, and he waa gotten drunk and forced to stagger In front of the revolver In my hands, which I discharged, apparently by accident, but the shot miscarried and went under bla arm, falling to do tha work. Tbe last and successful attempt waa well planned. Jahnke ssld to me: 'Wa will have to ahoot him with a shotgun.' We came to town and procured a gun and went back. The next morning, as Mike waa at the breakfast table, I got tbe gun and loaded it In an adjoining room and returned. and aa I came out of the door behind tbe old man I pulled the hammer and let tha whole charge Into his , back, whereupon Jahnke shouted: 'Come, help me, Mike ia shot!" " On cross-examination Olson said he was under the hypnotic influence of Jahnke, who Is bla brother-in-law. Court adjourned after thla confession until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Judge W. H. Westover Is presiding. Much Interest, aa well as indignation, reigns In thla city over the deed, which seems to be a premeditated murder for tha eaka of a few paltry dollars.' After the killing Olson and Jahnke fled when suspicion ws directed to them and there waa aome talk of lynching. They were arrested at York and when tba sheriff of Box Butte county came for them Bought to gain their freedom on a writ of habeas corpus, but fatled and were taken back to Alliance for trial.
