h » q \ S TWENTY— SATURDAY MORNING, DRI Ho Pretends to Explain Where Adams County's Funds Went. ACCUSED PAUL OF TAKING THE MONEY While Knowing That the Afairs of the Office Were Not Being Properly Cons ducted He Declares That He Could Do Noth Hastines, Neb, Sept. 0.—[Speclal Tele- gram to Tue Bee|—-At last ex-Deputy Uounty Treasurer manual ist has given 1o the public his statement of the county treasury muddle, and to say that it is sensa- bonul is to put it in mild language. 1f he ean prove one-half of what he alleges as true, the Adams county treasuror’s . office was the scene of corrupiion almost beyond descrip- tion. The morning session was partly spent in nn effort Lo secure a jury und after ninety- nine men had besn examinoa as to their fit- ness to sit as jurors, twelve wero selested to try st for the crims of beiny an accessory to the ombezzlement of county funds. County Attorney Hosppuor made the state- mentof tho caso to the jury on the part of the prosecution. He exvected to prove thut & shortage in the treasury during the admin- istration of Charles H. Paul had been con- pived at by Fist acting as his deputy. Attorney M. A. Hartigan for the defense followed. The defense expected to prove that Mr. Fisv was not Paul’s deputy during the last term, but that Paul handled the money himself, Fist acting merely as his servant. The whole scavdal began while tho new court house was being built. Puul was Interested in a brick yatd and Mr. Hartigan #aid that beforo the bouds voted by the su- pervisors bad been negotinted Paul had drawn out §25,000 for use in the vard, and this sum had never been entered on the books or returned into the treasury. When he took the oftice ho had but littie ~property. Where the Money Went. 7'0 show whero the money went ho said it woula be proven that $23,000 was suuk in the brick yard, $11,000 had gono to H. Bost- wick, president of tho defunct City Na- tional bank, §15,000 had been lost 1n real es- tate + peculation during the boom, &,000 hud been lost in Paul’s Mexican mine which had been left him by ex-Congressman Laira and that fron: £,000 to §5,000 had teen louned to political friend Tn order to cover up his tracks Paul, he al- leged, burned in the furnace all the checks for u considerable period representing ail the above sums. Fist was all the time kept in the dark as to these transactions, bui l;vlmi 2aul hie protected the county by rankly that unloss cerlain” matters fe right ho woula divulge tne discrep- sucies 10 the proper authorities, once at the failure of the City Netionul bauk uud the other time ut the final settlement with the superyisors. In the afternoon it was agreed by stipula- tion that Paul was treasurer from 1855 to 1802, and tiat Fist was his deputy from 1883 to 1300, the state claiming that he continued 50 duriug the two other years. Mr. Paul Wwas brought up from the court house jail where he is confined while awaiting action of the supreme court on his motion for a new trial, und was called on us a witness tor the stare. Hesimply deposed to tue fact that he had known Mr.- Fist for ten years, and that during the yvears from ‘1888 to 1502 he had served him as deputy. The defense wished to question him on his connection wilh a Mexican mine and the Hastings Pressed Brick company, but the court re- refused to allow the question to be answered. How Fist Acted On redirect examination the semi-annual statements medo to the Board of Supervis ors were shown 10 be in Me. Fist’s hand- writing. Mr. Fist nad avsolute coutrol of tho books, as Paul was physically unuble to do any of the clorical wovk., On redirect cross-examination the defense endeavored to show that IMist was but a hired clerk and did not have auy authority to act as deputy. The checks he 1ssued. and which wero re- turned by the banks on which thoy were fssued, were destroyed. as they were very voluminous, and incumbered the oftico. M. Fist knew that tho checks wero to be de stroyed and interposed no objection. Mr. Paul said that at the ime the checks were Jssucd he believad that he hud the stuos, but afterward o could not find ther. Jay Clierry was tax collector for Hastings in 1850 and indentifiea the chocks and re- ceipts in what are known as the “Cherry ftems,” the receipts being in Mr. Fist's handwriting. Tho checks were produced and shown by the defense to be enaorsed by Mr. Paul. The Little Blue township items were then expluined 1o the jury. ExpertJ. R. Rateliffe, who made the examination of the books, was called on bobalf of the state. A discussion arose over an objuction made to question usked the witness, **What actual amount of shortage did you fiad?” the de- feuse claimiug that the veraict of the jury which tried Mr. Paul was the best evideuce, After suthorities had beou introducad reaching back to England the court ordered the question answored and tho defenso failed in their effort to fix the shortage at §750, the amount Mr. Paul was found guilty of em- bezzling. Judge Willism Gaslin bas assos f with Mossrs, Hartigan, Tiobets, and Ferris of the defense. Mr. Fist states in a conversation that 1f permitied to go on the witness stand he will Show where £0.000 of 1na county’s money bas gone, the §25,000 additional being fees, ste. telling tod him- Movey Narcow Escape fcom a Terrible Death.

When the train arrived at ihis city nine bullet holes were counted on the west side of the express car. The couductor, Ed Kitch- ing, states that when bis tran stopped to take water he walked down the track and was met by bis engineer and liveman with three other men. Rovolvers were leveled at bim and the robbers went on until they reached the express car, wnen they de- manded aamitiance. They were refused by Messenger George Wagner. The roobers then opened fire aua a fusilade of shots were fired. Wagner und bis assistant stood vheir ground. The engineer gives this account of the hola-up: The train arrived at Wharton on time. Three musked men mounted the en- gine and ordered Fireman Rossand Engineer Shoenaugher to step down. Then they com- pelled oss to accompany thom to the ex- press door and told bim ‘to batter it down. When the tirst blow was struck on the door tho express mossenger fired through it.

Tne expressmen had emptied it while the door was being burst in, and hidden most of the contents.

Not being prepared to forco 1t, they backad out and left, taking with them two baskets of grapes as trophies of the raid. Noeffort was made to rob the pagsengers. Oneof the roboers was sta- tioned at the roar of the car and shot when- ever a head appeared at the window.

Loxnoy, Sept. 9.—Oiiivial reports show that the cholera has been absotutely stamped out of the United Kingdom. Tho local government board, the authorities at the chief ports and the greutest populous con- ters concur in the statement that no casos of real cholera, but only a fow choleraic cases, have occurred, Ixpertssay thut though the disease was prought to England at a dozen different ports it has been limited to persous arriving from infected vlaces. The medical press assumes a triumphant tone at the success of the sanitary arrange- ments, The Lancet admits, howaver, that tho defensivo mensures are in two respects defective. The system of keeniug people arriving from infected places under in- spection for only a few days does not sufti- ciently provide for immigration, aliens not knowing where they would lay their beads next. The fact that Hamburg ships replenishod their water from the cholera polluted Elvbe was over looked. Still the re- sult proves whut the Lancet says, that tho English system of inspaction 1s in support of the ordinary quarantiae ragulations. It is not certainly wnfallivle, Disease may hlter thiough the me hos of sauitary admiuistra- tion, but given general cleaniiness and at- tention to sanitation, no quarantine is neces- sary Lo repel an inroad of cholera. ‘Tne tove of the Lancet accurately repro- sents the feeling of the country.

New, Amarican consul genoral here, told the reporter of the Associuted Press that there was no reason to supnose that the steamship companics were trying to ovade the regulations luic down in the prosi- denus circular.

The first failure announced in this series was tbat of the London und Generat bank (limited.) The next that of the Laberal, Permanent Build- ing and Investment socioty, and now comes this suspension. The uominal capitil of each of these concerns does not ropresent anything approaching tho liabilities, The money which they owe 1is chiefly due to depositors and investors who have been induced to participate i the affuirs of the concerns by the alluring high rate of interest which they offered. The liabilities of the Loudon and General bank are rougnly estimated at £1,000,000, those of the Liberal at £2,500,000, and those of the House and Lavd ‘Trust #U £2,000,000.
