THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, MARCIT THE COURTS. An Important Decision by Judge Rogers in the Gage Case. David Not Allowed to Btate What He Turned Over at the End of ; His First Torm, More Contestanis Opposed (o Paying tho South Town Per- sonal Tax. New Suits, Bankruptcies, Di- vorces, Judgments, Ete, TIIE GAGY, CASE. JUDOR ROGERS YRSTERDAY MORNING DECIDED one of the knotty legal points Involved in the Gage case, Wednesday afternoon last Mr, Campbell asked Mr, Gage, who was then on the witncas-stand, what tho actual halance In his hands was on the 10th of January, 1872, Mr. Emith objected, and a long legal argument fol- lowed ns to tho admissibility of any such evi- dencey which, of conrse, would tend to contra- dict the books of tho Comptroller, and, if it was allowed, might tend to exculpato the suretics 1y proving that they were not liable for as large an amonnt as Gage had by his reports showed was in his hands, The Judge sald that in the absence of any nnuucspruurlbluqlhe place of lu:nnm;i the moneys of munkral corporations, the Treas- urer might chioose his own mode of keeping them, heing held Yable as an insurer of its fonda, but no fault, In fact, existed until ho failed Lo pay out or pay over 88 _required by the charter or " ordinances of the city. In cositem- plation of law tho money wae fn tho Trensury, whether it was in fact 1n the actupl possession of the Treasurer,—~1in his pockets, his sale, In banks or other denosilories,~and the clty had no other security for the safe keeping of the moneys received by tho Treasurer, excent liis awn_lotegrity under his oath of oflice, and the bond, with “sureties required to be given bv Lim. As a mencral Prlm‘h»le, Bure- tles on the bonda o a public ofticer wero Nable only for defaulis committed by him after the commencement of the term of oifica for which they became his aurcties. If the same Individual had previously helid the same oflice under a prior election, and had com- mitted defaulta during the Orst term, thoso who were lis surctfes on such vrior clection ond term must be looked to for such default, and no: those who efgned his bond for the sccond term, unless they wero for sume repson estopped to deny thelr tabllity. It was competent, on the trial uf a sult agamst tho suroties on the sccond bond, for the defendants to show by leznl nind competent evidence that the defalea- tion in fact gecurred during the term which pre- ceded that for which their bond was glven, an- less prociuded by acts of thelr principal, The Treasurer's monthly statcments or ac- counts to the Comptroller under oath, showing tho atate of tho Treasury at the date of cach ac- count and the balanco of moncys in the Treas- ury, his annual reports to the Common Councit of all receipts and expenditures during tha pre- ceding fiscal year and the state of the Treasury, lis reggister of all warrants redeemed and puhi- Ly him during the vear, and the officlal baoks of the Treasurer and tho Comotroller kept under the requirenients of statute, were o}l evidence on tho trial of any suit against the Treasurer and his_surctics on the Treasurer's officiul bouds. Tho main question was as to the effect of the reports, statements, accounts, and books of the Treasuror, and from ‘the authoritics, rs well a8 by principles of juatico aud sound pub- He poliey, 1t scemed well aettied that suck docu- ments wera concluslve evidence arainst both the surctics and Gage. Gage had, 88 required by taw, made certain reports, and he was bound by them. §f in fact ho had misapprunriated llu\ funds of tho ¢ity durlng his first term ond was o defaulter m fact, ho would not bo allowed under the clrcumstances to set up that default for the purpuse of disproving the evidence of his Indevtedness, or rather of avolding that indebteducss, by proving his mis- appropriation and 1luss of the, money e - mitted belonged to the city, and {f he wus cstopped, his surctics also should be precluded PROM NELYINO UFON THR WRONG commilted by one for whose fidelily they had become responsilie. The Bupreme Court of Thinols hnd also declded that where the princi- a) stond chargenble with certain funds, and the eznl effect of tho undertaking of the surcties wan that he should pay the same tobissuccessor in afllco, Lhen the surstics were lable, Even if it had been shown that Gage was fn default during his flrst tern and accounted for all the niuneys actually received In his second term, still he aid his surctics wouid bo llsble under 1he decisfons of the Suprome Court of Illinojs. Hia reports, nccounts, cte., nll showed the bal- zalnet him, camg down to the expiration of his sccoud term, and |t was not contended that ho had not raccived the amounts charged against him, The testimony of Gace, there- fure, to authenticate thoso "books wus incom- petent, oud the objection would be sustalued, Mr. Gaza then took the stand agmn. and his cxamination was resumed, Mr. Campbell put stvers] questions 1o him, the object of which wus ‘o ascertaln the nctual balance in bis bhands n Javuary, 1872, and all werd oblected to by counsel for the cty and ruled out” by Judge Rogers in aceordance with his declslon given above on o similar point. Gage was ulso asked whether Lis suretle gave him authority to il up his bond nfter they had elencd fv3 whether in hig first term ho made any bargain with the Mayor, Comptroller, or Finance Connnlitee in regara 10 Joaning the city funds in his hands, and whether the funds chargeable ngalnst him ut the commeucement of his secona term were actually at the time loaned out for the benetlt of the ety lu pursiancs of any bargain made with it. Al thess questions wero also ruled out, on the ground that It had beon previously declded I the sreuments on the pleadings that no ugreement with the city of such a character would make n good defensc. Mr, Campbell then offered in evidence tho trust-deed given by Gage Do, ‘JT‘ 1573, to George Taylor, trusice, for the city’s benetit, but it was excluded, us it was not shown any- thing hud been reallzed from the properiy turned over. Alr, Cutnphell next asked whether the Manu- facturera’ National Hank did not offer to turn over city vouchers to the city in vatisiaction of hie §15,000 bulance due from the bank, Alr, Qage testified that such was the fact, but that the city rofused to accept tho city certitl- catvs, AT THE APTERNOON BESSION the defense offured i evidenco the discharee of John A, Rice, in bankruptey. Mr, Smith sald his impression was that this discharged the defendant from liability on the hond, but he wouldn't adimt that, desiring to look up th question. iy The Court Jot it o In, AMr. Campbell offered in evidence the annuat nessage of the Mayor, read ju Council Dec. 5, 1570, contutuing an uccount ol the finances of the dity, and windlug up with a atutement that interest had been pald the city by the Treasurer, i er. sumith objected because fs was fncompe- ent. The Court sustained the objection, and an ex- ception was uoted. Uther ducuments were also offered to show that nterest had buen paid by (age on loans made, awd that the Council recognized the fuct, These were also excluded, the Court having do- cided I arguments_on I\w pleadings that the only way fn which Usge could huve loaned the money waa by order or resolution of the Coun- ol desfrnating the bauks and requiring u bond, Mr. Campbell then otfered fu ovidence cditor- daly from Tie THIBUNE In Beplember und Octo- Ty 1800, glving an uccount of Usge's Hrat numination, she vity funds, and the platform On wlich he was elecled, ete. > Mr. Bmith objected, and the objection was sustalned, and the defense saved the polnt.
