DORGAN'S UNIQUE DEFENSE | Acoeptance of His Vonchers by the State Board Exonerates Him, PROMPTLY OVERRULED BY THE COURT Alleged Arylum Nosdler Evidently Greatly Disappointed Over the Resuit of the Yeeliminary Skirmish—Mrs, Broek- way Committed Suiefd LixcoLs, Oct. 24.—(Special to Tus Bee. | — In the district court this morning before Judge Tibbotts the work of securing a jury 1n the case of the State against John Dorgan for frauds perpetrated against the state was resumed and the twelve men, good and true, were soon in the box. Tho jurymen are: H. ¥, Hitehcock, H. W. Crewling, J. H. Spelts, J. W, Lacey, John Stratz, Gus Wissenburg, F. M. Harris, H. W. Lubbers, H. S. Bell,W. Fricke, R. G. Redfield and William Dualevy The Judge announced that ducing the trial tha jury would be kept together in charge of & bailiff. The first witness for the state, in the person of Hon. Eugene Moore, auditor of public accounts, was placed on the stand and sworn. As soon as the attorneys for the state began the work of interro- gating the witness Attorney Wheedon for the defense arose and interposed an objoc- tion to any further proceedings, basing his objection upon the pomt that the claims presented by Dorgan to the state had been passed upon by members of the State Board of Public Lands and Bujldings, and for the purpose of examining the claims the board was sitting as a legally constituted court. His argument was that the claims having been ncted upon by the board sitting ina ju- dicial pacity, 118 decision in the matter should stand as long as it had never been ap- pealed from. No appeal having ever been taken, Mr. Wheedon argued that the de- cision could not mow be questioned. He claimed further that the defendant cannot now be tried upon the charge of making false representations where such repre- sentations have been acted upon by the ard and approved. Mr. Wheedon's argument was very elab- orate and was supported by many authori- ties. Mr. Magoon also followed him for the defense and made the additional claim that the indictment was defective in that it did not state that the Board of Public Lands and Buildings ucted as the agent of the state. Messrs. Woodward and Gilkerson for the state replied to the objections made by the attorneys for the defense and then the court took a recess in order to allow the judge time in which to examine the law ponts embraced 1n the objections. In_the afternoon Judge Tibbetts over- ruled both objections and the work of exam- ining the witnesses for the state proceeded. The balance of theafternoon was taken up by the gxamination of Eugene Moore and Dr. Knapp: who was superiutendent of the asylum at the time during which she frauds were perpetrated. The witnesses were called merely for the purpose of 1dentifying the warrants paid to Dorgan and of “identi- tying Dorgan’s signature to the vouchers. Renderod & Verdict ot Suicide, .. The inquest over the remains of Mrs. C. H. Brockway, the young married woman who died by ier own hands in this city last evening, was held at the office of Coroner Crim_this_afternoon, commencing at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Freeland, a lady living across the street; from the Brockway residence, was the fitst witness. She testified that Brockway came to her and stated that his wife had shot herself. She was the first neighbor to go into the room where Mrs. Brockway was lying on_the bed. Did not soe the revolver until it was found 1 the bureau drawer. Mrs. James Jessop was called by Mrs, Freeland at avout 4:30 yesterday afternoon. She saw_Mrs. Brockway lying on the bed ‘with her dress opened so as to expose the wound. She saw the bullet hole in the knit undervest worn by Mrs. Brockway. Asked Brockway the cause of the shooting and he waid, ‘*As God is my judge I do not know." Did not see the pistol until it was handed to her in the kitchen by Mrs. Lawrence. Thé revolyer was shown her, but she could not identify it. She found two letters on a stand in the same room. The Lwo letters referred to by the witness were then introduced in evidence. The first one was addressed to her sister Linnie, the young l4-year-old girl who made her home With the unhappy pair. It was as follows: ~ Rensons for the Crime. DLinnfe, Dear: You seo to the things the best Fou can. for I don't oxpect Orla will waken up onight; and when he does 1 will be sleeping an everlusting sleep. 1 have lived long enough, dear, when the only thing I was liv- {ng for s gone. 1 would not think of trying to ive this life. Tt seems If he was ever going to stop drinking It was time. It Is just about six months since wo wore married, ind this would havo been the last thing I would have thought of. We have been happy only for whisky, beer. Goodbye. The second letter was to her husband, and reads as follows: Orla, Doar: God bless you. Thope you will et n wifo that will_be worth living for and 1sh you all the happiness in the world, and [ Tope you will think kind of your poor, brokeu- hearted wife that loved you so dear. God Diéds my poor father and_mother. 1 wiil wait in heaven for inunll. Goodbye, my darling, goodbye. 1 took six of the capsi morphine. Statement of the Husband, The most important testimony of the in- quest was given by Mr, Brockway, the hus- band of the deceased woman. Ho testified that he went home about 50'clock yesterday afternoon and lay down on the bed. His wife told him that she had taken six mor- phine tablets and she told him that she was tired of living as they had been. He said to her: “'If that's the case I'll go with you.” He then took a hypodermic wjection of mor- Khlnu and lay down on the bed. He heard is wife say, “My God, have I been the cause of your death, too?” Then he heard her walk across the fioor and open the bu- reau drawer. In another momeut he heard the shot. After she shot herself he found the revoiver by her right side, as she lay on the bed. He sister came into the door just as the revolver went off. He gave the re- yolver to & woman who wore spectacles. Didn’t know who she was. Miss Linnie Cline, the 14-vear-old sister ot the deceased, took the stand and testified to the facts substantially given in Tug Beg this morning. She also identified the letters being in ber sister's handwriting, The balance of the testimony had butlittle bearing on the case, it being made up chiefly of the statements of the medical gentlemen who.performed the autopsy. The jury retred for a foew moments and brought in o verdict to the effect that Mrs, Brockway came to her death by means of & bullet, fired with suicidal intent, from u pistol in her own hand. New Order of the Banking Board. Chief Clerk Townley of the State Banking Board is breparing letters of instruction 0 all bankers in the state, in accordance with she resolutions adopted by the board at a recent meeting.

Military Uhieftains Visit Omaha, Adjutant General (iage is feeling particu- larly jubilant over the fact that the military organization known all over the state as the Omaha guards has finally consentod to be- come a part and parcel of the Nebraska M tional guards. The eompany at Omaha will be mustered in this evening and Governor Crounse and staff jeft this afternoon for the metropolis to take pari in the ceremonies. The following military stars of the state troops were in the party: Adjutant General Gage, Inspector General Hotchkiss, Quarter- master General George J5.

Yestorday Samuel Barnes was a convict in the penitentiary. Today at noon he was taken back to Burt county where he had been tried and convicted, after having been incarcerated but a few hours. He served ono of the shortest sentences on record and this is how it came about: Barnes w arrested, tried and convicted of grand larceny in Burt county and was sentenced to three years in the state tentiary. His attorney, J. . Davis, sccured an ord from Chief Justice Maxwell suspending the sentence on the assertion under oath that there were serious errors in the records, The order of the chief justice dirccted Barnes' release on £00 bail to appear before the supteme court mnext January. Before the order could be served, howe! heriff Mague of Burt county started for Lincoln with his prisoner. The attorney tried to head him off by telegraph, but did not succeed and as a result Barnes spent the night asa couvict in the state penitentiary. - He tias had merely a taste of prison life, but is willing to make an afidavit that he does not care for a repetition of the aste. bo made in Adjutant An Hour in the Police Court. Police Judge Waters openod his morning reception at the polica station this morning with acase involving the aom c infelicities of oneof the Smith families of this city. George Smith, a white man, and the colore woman who claims him for hes husband were the star performers. Mrs. Smith had Mr. Smith arrested on the charge.of assault and battery and she exhibited a remarkable assortment of bruises to substantiate her testimony. Both eyes were even blacker than her face, her neck and arms were scratched and bruised in a manner that clearly proved that she had got the worst of the encoynter with her husband. After listening awhile the judge discovered that both had been drunk and that the assault grew outof a quarrel. He sent Smith to the county jail for thirty days. Fraok Kauffman was one of the men ar- rested for gambling in the Capital hotel during state fair week last September. His case was callea in police cours this morning, but on motion of the city attorney he was discharged. The ouly arrest of the morning was that of Frank Munday and he was simply a vag.

The old gentleman was 74 years of age. Ho went into the stable to bring out & team and one of the horses kicked him, knocking him down and causing him to strike on his head. He did not realize that he was seriously njured by his fall, and walked to the house alone. Becoming worse a_ physician was sent for, but before he armved the man died from hemorrhage of the brain.

THE OMAHA FIGURES FOR REFLECTION i i iINTERESTING DECISION FOR RECEIVERS Bank Statements Made During tze Panio and After and What They Show. Bank Affairs Cannot Be Wouand Up on the bouble Liability Plan—Bisine's Man. slon for Rent—Mast's Arrest Cagsed w Sarpri Wasarxarox Bureav or Tur Bas ko st | Wasnixarox, Oct. 24 When the excitement atteading the com- sideration of the silver repeal bill is p and the pain incident to the financial dis- tress is over people will begin to look dis passionately into the causes which led to the recent financial disturbance. The inter- est in prevailing clrcumstances is too keen and important to warrant dispassionats re- search, but the time will doubtless come when there will be important morals in the lessons taught by the panic and the efforts which were made to secure success for the unconditional repeal bill When President Cleveland announced last March that there would be hard times and many business failures and consequent indi. vidual distress, republican newspapers and orators called attention to the fact that Mr. Cleveland was wrong in his premises—that it was not a lack of faith in our curren but doubt as to what the democratic party would do respecting the tarift that would bring about the hard times. When the sen- ate first entered upon the contest which has been pending three months the anti- repealers, including oven some of the stongest democrats, vroclaimed their belief that our currency system had not the least toao with bringing about the panic, and that if it was made the scapegoat or subter- fuge it was the work of New York bankers. Indeed they repeated in all sorts of phrase- ology their belief that the New York bankers, with selfish motives in view, had coaspired to make money scarce and bring hard times upon the country. What the Rocords Show. A comparison of the leading items to bo found in the cousolidated reports of the na- tional banks in a few leading cities, showing the condition of business onJuly 12 last, which in the midst of the panic, and October 3 inst., argues to this point. Ex- verts in figures will find much interest in analyzing and making comparisons in a few important and essential columns of fizures taken from certain consolidated bank re- ports. Your correspondent has collected the aggregated reports of all the national ban: in four leading cities, representing as many sections of country and _commercial temperatures, for exumple, New York, Cincinpati, St. Louis and New Orleans. Subjoined 'are the itemns from the reports of July and October of this year, which form the leading basis of bankers’ computations: YORK —JULY REPORTS.

Dividends i Individual deposits. ] Total volume of business. . In the Case of New York. A cursory glance at the New York re- ports will show that the banks in that city did wot suffer half so much from a with- drawal of deposits as they did from exces- sive loans. 1t will be seen thatin July the loans and discounts of the New York {&nkl were over $27,000,000 more than they were in October, while on the latter date the in- dividual deposits were about 3,000,000 more than in July. This is suggestive. It would oceur to the suspicious mind that the New York bankers, knowing that there would he heavy demands for loans, had created the impression that money was being with- drawn from their institutions, so that they could, as they aid, charge double and som times treble and quadruple interest, It is suggestive, in view of this fact, that the unpaid dividends revorted in July were about $109,000 more than they were in Octo- ber, after there had been such enormous rates of interost charged and the volume of business which so exceeded the ordinary as to redce the average roserve in July 1o 25 per cent, while in October the average re- serve neld was 35 per cent. There is an abundance of food in these comparisons to salisfy the analytical inai. vidual who loves to ponder over figures and work out intricate and interesting results, Blatue's Vacant Munsion, “For Rent, Furnished.” These words, in large black letters, adorn the sign of a well known real estate firm, pendant from a three foot stick which is driven into the ground immediately in front of the old red- brick residence which was, until recently, occupied by the foremost Alerican citizen, The **Blaine mansion” has been abandoned by the family, ana will doubtless soon be occupied by some ouo who never knew the “Pluwed Koight.” It is & solemu-looking old red three-story- and-attic structure, next the corner of Pean- sylvania avenue and Lafayette squore, a single door and aliey south of Senator Don Cameron's residence, formerly occupiod by Colonel Robert G.

Mrs. Blaine recently pafused nearly $100,000 cash for it, which would have netted a hand- some profit on the Investment. Interesting Point For Bankers, An interesting and _ifportant decision is being prepared at the office of the comp- troller of the carrency. It is of a question propounded by the receiver for the National bank at Mwncie, Ind. The re- ceiver wanted to kiow some time ago whether he could liquidate the affairs of the bank under what is known among bankers as the double Hability or offset plan. This is to permit a lepositor in the bank to_pay the obligation of & debtor by giving a check against his balance in the bank. The re- er beiieved that he could close up the affairs of the banlk in just one-naif the time if he permitted those who had balances to their credit 10 go to those who had notes payable in tho bank and arrange to iake up IInum- by giving checks against their credit. This proposition is one of the h portance in every community where & national bank has suspended payment, and especially where national banks are in the hauas of receivers. The decisionof the_de- partment can be anticipated by Tns Be correspondent, although the formal decision will not be made under some *ime, as & care- ful syllabus of the law rules and _precedents of theofMice and decisions of the supreme court of the United States and _subordinate courts Is being preparea, which will be of vast importance to all interested, This proposition has been made to the comptroller of the currency a great many times since the establishment of the national banking system, and while exceptions have been made and offsets have *een permited in closing the affairs of suspended national banks in this instancerefusal is made. The exceptions have been whero the maker of a note proved to be worthless and the en- dorser was & creaitor of the bank, Under these circumstances tho endorser was permitted to take up the talker’s note with his own check, which of course had the eftact of reducing both the uability and the assets of the bank. Where the maker was wood and the obligatjon was collectable airectly fom the prineipal the endorser was not permitted to take up the note with a check against his own ac- couut in the suspended bank. The excep- tion was made simply to secure the note and as a favor to the endorser In the case of the Citizens National bank Ind., the institution will pay tor in full, and it is found that to v offsets against the bank's paper by liquidation of the bank's obigations might work an_injustice in several _directions. Representations might be made to unin- formed depositors that they would probably not be paid in full and if paid at all woula have to be out of their morey a long period of time, in order to induce them to take up the paper owned by the bank. In all cases where there is the least doubt that the banlk can mect all obligations in [ull it is found that it woald be gross injustice ana that it would be throwing down the bars to collusion to permit offsets of this character, as those depositors who were fortunate enough to take up tho obligations of the bank by checks against their own accounts would be paid in full, and those who were unable to make this transfer would have to stand the shortage of ‘the bank. In other words, where there was shrewdness or fayor eranted, some of the depositors would be paid m full by turning their credit to m- dividuals whose paper- they had taken up and others who looked ito the bank would not receive par value fpom their accounts. Created » Sensatiop at the Capitul. Tl arrest of William N. Masi, postmaster at Cheyenne, Wyo., by & postoffice in- spector, ou the charge of having riflod registered mail, created great surprise and rogret in_Washington, whore he is well known.
