Lixcory, Neb., Oct. 15.—[Special to Tug BEE.] —Considorable progress has been made in the Irvine trial. The state rested its case yestorday afternoon, and the defense was well along today, when an adjournment wus taken until Monday morning. Mr. Irvine will be placed on the stand whon court con- vones Monday morning, and his testimony promises to bo sensational, although his story has already been outlined to the jury. In putting Mr. Irvine on the stand i his own behals, the defensé will act upon a precedent ‘well established in the Yocum trial at Hast- ings last I'cbruary. The fact to be ostab- lished by lrvine's testimony is not whethor Mrs. Irvine haa committed adultery with C. Montgomery, but whether her husband believed that she had. After Irvine's tosti- mony is in will come the testimony of the experts on iusanity, The will follow the state’s robuttul, One of the features of the trial next week ‘will be the presence of Irviue's little daugh- ter Ilorence in the court room. One of the most noted criminal lawyers in Nebraskt said this afternoon to a represen- tative of Tie Ber that in kis opinion the de- fenso has so far iald a very woak foundation for the defense of wania transitoria which they propose to develop and establish next week. Even by the wituesses put on the stand by o défonsn the state bhas estab- lished the fact that Irvine was notso com- glamly under @ mental cloud as to prevent im from waking his trip to Lincoln, going 1o the hotel, asking for a room, checking his baggage, ordering a carriage, proceeding to a friend’s house in-a distant part of the city, visiting his former home in Lancoln, and even recognizing a friend an instant after the shooting and iu the same instant inform- ing the bystauders whom ho was, where he lived and why bo did the shooting, and that he talked rationally with a clergyman as to the morality of bLis act two davs after. The leading authorities on insauity, stated the attorney referred to, all agree tuat & person ufflicted with mania travsitoris acts entirely without a motive and that when under the strange inflaence of the walady is Mkely to attack the first person that he en- counters. To this extent tho attorney bo- lleved that Irviue's dofense up to Lho present tme 1s weak: but he added that it must of necessily becowme sironger as £0on as lrvine humself took the stand, for then tho jury would bo able to see just how the wife's “‘1"5 of her own infidelity would affect his wind, Today's Proceedings, Thoe first witness this morning was Mrs, ©, C.

Ir- vine appeared to be laboring under some ereat mental stratn. He tuought from Ir- vine's condition that ho had lost every- thing—‘'dropped his wad,” as the boys say. On_ cross examination witness stated that he had not seen Irvine for several months: that when he saw himin the hotel he did not speak to him, only tried to attract bis attention. M. I, Mclntyre was the night porter at the tlotel Lincoln last May and checked {rvine’s valise, cano aud umbrella early n the morning of the tragedy. Irvine went un stairs and camo down shortly. Afterwards witnoss got the baggage from tho check room at Irvine's request, as tho latter said that he would tako a carriage and go away. Irvine came back a second time and had his baggage rechecked, saying that he had con- cluded to stay. Some of Irvine's Visions, Rev. John Hewitt, rector of Holy Trinity church of Lincolu, was an old friend of Irvine. He saw the latter at the peniten- tiary on the Saturday after the tragedy. Irvine was in a distressed state of mind. During the two hours conversution at the penitentiary Irvine told witness that ho had bua visions of beautitul palaces, sur- rounded by haudsome grounds, with figures of his family appearing at tho window beck- oning him. This was after Irvine had r turned from Chicago and befora the shootin Witness was then asked if ho was ac- quainted with his general reputation as o peaceable, law abiding avd moral citizen, To this Judge McCulloch, for tho state, objected, but the court overruled and the answer was that Irvine's reputation was good., Wituess had conversed with Irvine in regard to the morality of the act of klling Montgomery, irving's conversation was rational exceot when giving way 10 expres- sions of grief. A. D, Kitchen testified as to Irvine’s ox- cellent reputation as a peaceable, moral citi- zen, K, B, Critchelow of Salt Lake City also gavo evidenco as tothe good character of Irvine during the latter's rosidence in that city. He nlso identified Irvine's rovolver as one that he had seen in the latior's possos- sion in the summer of 1800, A number of depositions from prominent citizens of Salt Lake City ail tended to es- tablish the gooa reputation of Irvino in that city. Judge Goodwin, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune, deposed that not one man in a hundred possessed 5o y of tho qualities that go to make up the acter of the per- fect man, und that he possessed two espe- olally noticeablo traits of character, ono be- 10K bis strong affection for his wife and child aud the other his extremo sensitiveness in rogard to uis personal houor. Governor Phomas of Utal deposed that IFvine was one of the reprosentative citizons of Salt Lake City and that ho had a high reputation for intogrity and morality. After the depositions had been read the court adjourned the further heariug of tno caso until Monday morning Bank of Springview Closed, SeriNGviEW, Neb., Oct, 15, —[Spectal Tels- gram to Tue Boe. | ~The Bauk of Spring- view was closed by order of the supreme court Phursday.

REFERRED T0 A GRA \D JURY Final Result of the Lincoln Insane Asylum Investigation, FULL TEXT OF THE BOARD'S FINDINGS Somebody Hus Been Re: Attached to the Super! iss and Blame is tendent, Steward and Farm Boss—Details of 1sion, LixcoLy, Neb., Oct. 15.—[Special Tele. pram to Tug Bee.]—The State Board of Public Lands and Buildings finished its in- vestigation of the charges of mismanage- ment of the Lincoln hospital for the insano today and a copy of the lindings of the board was filed in the exceutive office this after- noon. As was foreshadowed last night the board recommends that the whole matter be roferred to the grand jury for a searching investigation. Tho findings of the board are as follows: To Hoy, Jamus . 150vn, Governor of the State of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nev.: Sir—Wo have the honor to submnit for your considera- tion @ report of our findings, as well as the testimony taken, in the matter of tha in- yestigation of ' allecd irregularities in the management of the hospital forthe in- sane at Lincols, Neb. The investigation was bogun on the Sth day of October, 1302, and _w uctuded upon the 15t day of Octobor, 1892, As you will observe, the fullest latitido was given all witnesses and counsel. Much of the testimony is hearsay and irrelevant, but as we were seekinyg light upon the several subjects under considera- tion, we deemed it best that no check or re straic be placed upon the testimony offerod. Findings of Fact. = Mrst—Wae tind that on the 7th day of De- comber, 1856, and 10 the 23d duy of February, 1892, Dr. William M. Knapp was the si perintendent of said 1nsane hospital and that during all of said tume J, 1, Luauer was the steward ; that among other things it is the duty of the scperintendent to employ all at- tendants, servants and such other persons as ho deems necessary for the efficient manaze, ment of the hospital and has eatire control of the medical, moral and dietic treatment of the patients and to se> that the several ofll- cers of the institution faithfully discharge the duties respectively assigned to them, Second—Wo find that it is the duty of the stoward, under the directiou of the superin- tendeat, hut not otherwise, to make all pur- chases of supplics for the hospital, to keep the accounts, mako engagements with, pay and discharge cmployes and personally su- perintend the farm, gavden, grounds, stock, ~That tho supplies of all kinds are purchased so far as practicable under the contrael system: that 1t is to the lowest bid- der, under the divection of the steward, and that when mopey 1s drawn in paymont of supplies 80 furmshed vouchers are first, signed' by the party fur- nishing the supplies in | triplicate, one of which goes to the auditor, oue to the Board of Public Lands ana Buildings end one to the superintendent of the hospital. On the voucher that comes Lo the Board of Public Lands and Buildings the superintendent makes a certificate in whe followlog form: 1 certify thatthe within account is just and cor- rect, and that it is a proper and necessary ox- EEI]IB and bas not beeu paid. This is signed y the superintendent, and this 1s the biil on which the board is required to act on the payment of bills, ¥arm Boss Hubbard's Misdeeds, Fourth—We iind that when Dr. Knapp entered upon the discharge of his duties as such superintendent he ewpioyed one r'rank O. Hubbard, and that said Hubbard con- tinued fn bis employ As farm boss and butclier so long as Dr. Knapp continued in charge of saiu hospital, and for some tune thereafter, under the administration of Dr. Bowman, und 1t was the habit and custom of said Hubbard, with the kaowledge of he superintendent and steward, Lo purchase caltle for the use of the hospital and to slaughter tbe same; that it was bis ! Ppractice 1n some 1ustances to induce the per- sons of whom he bought animals to sign vouchers ia blank and afterwards fill them up ata_sum far iu excess of the sum_actu- ally paid for the same and the differenco an- propriated to his own use. Theso raised vouchers were each duly certified by the superintendent to the board as just and cor- rect, Of theso raised vouchers discovered by this board we refer you to the following: Actunil or. roce . P. Higgins.... 5 . A. Southwell.. A. Emith. .. #5315 105,00 2,10 80.00 Kuuffman Jawin Safford. . ‘These sums evidenced by these certified vouchors were paia by the state, s is evidenced by the warrants introduced in evidence. The vouchers nor anything olse presented to the board at the timethey were allowed indicated any raising or = other juggling with the accounts. They were presented to this board fair on their face and regular in every particular, duly certified by the ofticer whose duty it was to examine these accounts and certify to tbe board the amouunt justly due. Irregularities in Coal and Other Things, Fifth—We find that the amount of coal purchased at the hospital during the year 1801 and up to the month of May, 1892, has been in excess of the actual amount used and that there has been mismanagement on the part of the ofticers of the hospital regarding the coal supply, We were unable to probe the matter to the bottom for several reasons, all of which must bo apparent to yoursel, as you were present auring the examination, among which, however,1s that the voard has no fund at its command for persous or puper: Sixth—Other irvegularities in the purchase of supplies, the making and certifying of vouchers to the board &nd in permitting subordinates to make contracts and handle vouchers huvs appeared in the evidence. We therefore recommend that a tuorough and searching mvestigation be bad before a court of competent jurisdiction of tho several matters hereinbefore referred Lo, au as early a date as practicable, to the ond that ail money unlawfully obtained from the state may be recovered and ali parties who bhave defrauded the state may be$ brought to jus- tice.
