THE OMAHA DAI LIDAY .. WHERE PAUL'S NONEY WENT | Fnt:resting Testimony in the Oase of Adams | County’s Bx-Treasurer, THOUSANDS LOANED TO BUSINESS MEN N\ Wriends of the OMelal Knew of His Finaneinl Embarrassment Many Months Before it Was F Cebraska News, mally Announced v Hastixgs, Nob., June 30.—[Special to Tae Ber.|—~This morniog when district court roassembled tho case against ex-Treasurer Chrries H. Paul for embezaloment of publio tunds was resumed. County Clerk C. B. Bigelow first took the stand, and as official sustodian of records Idontided tax receipts Amouuting to §31,650.57, given to Jay Cherry, township collector, by “Charles H. Paul, treasurer, E. Fist, deputy.” Theamount, as was shown later, does not appear on the semi-annual statements made by Paul to the Board of Supervisors. Then receints given B. K. Wost, coliector of Littio Blue town- ship, were similariy introduced. James R. Ratciiffe, tha expert who has been examining the county treasurer's books, was called The rest of he morning session was used In the direct and cross-examination of Mr. Ratcliffe. The examiuation was extremely mioute and the dry mass of Heures was ox- tromely uninteresting to both jury aud spec- tators. In the afternoon the cross-examination was eoutinued, the defense closely und exhaust- tvely reviewing tho report made to the super- visors and the mothod of making the search into the condition of the books. One entry in the lecger showed a balance of about 7,15 which had no date and which does not apoear in tue cash book. It was Mr. Rat- cliffe’s opinion as an expert that this entry was made to bring about u false balance Mr. Katcliffe’s testimeny was practicaily un- fntelligihle to ar y except an expert or until {ts bearing is pointed cut by one familiar with the books. At 3 o'clock Mr. Rateliffe was excusad and the page in tho ledger which has upon it the dateless entry was offered in evideuce, beiug carefully scrutinized by the jury. Jay Cherry, township treasurer in 1889, was called.” Mr. Cherry idenufied the checks which were usea as part payment of the township collections. These ehecks vore the endorsementof C. H. Paul. J. M. Ferguson, cashier of the late Adams County banlk, identitied deposit slips in Paul’s hand- writing which were deposited to the fund in which all the county fuvas were placed. This account was in Paul’s iudiviaual name. William Kerr, president of the Adams County bank and one of Paul's vondsmen, said tbhat at the time of tho (fail- ure of the City National bank, @ year ngo last August, Paul confessed to lim a shortage of about 814,000 for which he proposed to give his bondsmen bis real estate. Ho thought Paul loaned about £20,000, whether of his own or county money he did not know. Mr. Paul loaned to Kerr $10,000 and to other prominent busi- ness men. A loan of §2,000 was Fist, Paul's deputy. When the final ment was made beforo the Board of Super- visors Paul deeded his property to the bonds- men to idemnify them for havibg to meet the shortage. On cross-examination it was shown that when the money was returned it was depos- ited to the credit of Adams county. Al- though the fact was known fora year and a half that there was a sbortage it \was not mentioned 1o the Board of Supervisors. When Paul turned over property to tho bondsmen hie gave all his property, even to the chickens on his farm, and including some of his wiie's proper At 6 o'clock a recoss was taken untii 9 to- morrow. Tno testimony introduced today is evidently of the utmost importance aud while the testimony of Messrs. Ratciiffe and Cherrv has been anticipated, that of Mr. Kert 1s interesting as affording the first n- sight of the solution of the mystery which for five months has puzzied notonly the people of Aaams county but of the whole state, THE PEER OF THEM ALL Bought to sell to the men and boys in Omaha by a man who spent a half a century in the bus!'” ness, the stock of clothing now being closed out by Hellman’s administrator stands without a peer. He knew the wants of the people out here because he lived among them for years and years and made their wants his life study. Is it any wonder, then, that Hellman’s administra- tor has no trouble in disposing of the goods to the envy of every clothing house in the west? No comparison can be made with this Hellman's administrator’s closing sale and any other sale that has or may spring into existence. Suits are cut down in price uatil customers are ashamed to ask a little more off. Pants from $12 and $15 suits, the coat and vest being sold, go at most any price.
