Laxcorx, Oct. 25..—[Special to Tux Bee.]— The trial of John Dorgan for alleged frauds perpetrated against the state in the matter of supplying coal to the Lincoln Asylum for the Insane is prov- Ing a dry and comparatively wun Intercsting rehash of what has been gone over in tho public print several times since the frauds were uncovered. Attorney Gen- eral Hastings wason the stand this forenoon to continue the line of testimony com- menced yesterday afternoon by Auditor Moore ana ex-Superintendent Knapp. He gave in detail the business mothods in use by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings during the time when the frauds were per- potrated. Atthe close of his evidence the defenso moved to strike out the whole of it 1 grounds. incipal witness this afternoon was Frm;{m Agent Scott of the B. & M. Here- iated the manner in which the coal supplies for the Asylum for the Insane wero switch out to the insti- tution and vroduced the books con- taining the records of the numbers of the cars, weights, dates of shipment, eto. His testimony involved a mass of facts and fig- ures which have considerable bearing upon when considered by the jury as a whole, but which are of but little interest 1o the public. Deputy Treasurer Bartlett was placed upon the stand to identify certain warrants which had veen presented by Dorgan and others in payment for coal detivered to the asylum. (.. J. Imhoff of the Union Savings bank also took the stand to identify war- rants, From the Police Court. Police Judge Waters entertained the no- torious Harry Baxter at his regular morning eception today.

He has the reputation of being ouo of the smoothest all-around crooks and safe crackers in the ‘west. He told the judgo a story etlculated o bring tears 10 the eyes of a fakir on the Midway plaisance, and as a result of his eloquence he was permitted to go on his ‘promise to leave the city within twenty-four hours. The .\‘\\'(-\luhTwrlel was short just one man when Axtel Almquest, Chris Anderson and John Johnson were lined up in front of the bar. Aunderson had a bulbous protrud- ence in that part of his features usually occupied by his left eye and it woula have taken the prize atany well regulated horti- cultural exhibit, for it beat the largest, bluest and juciest California plum c¢hat was ever piucked from a tree in Los Angeles county.

Frank Munday was lined up for vagrancy. He claimed to be a seller of song sheets and said that he had disposed of 250 of them in this city since last Saturday night. He was p only waitiug for another supply before con- tinuing his perambulations in the direction of the townof Hastings. After taking his affidavit vhat the song sheets contained no reference to “After the Ball” the judge permitted Lim to walk. He's walking yet. Linooln in Brief. ‘ E. O. Smith Is the name of & young man ‘who came to Liucoln from Greeley Center early in the week. It was his first experi- ence with metropolitan life, and conse- «quently tho police were not all surprised to Jearn this morning that he had lost his B overcoat, gold watch and $20 in cash while £ taking in the city by gaslight with a counle of friendly colored sports, A man named Pronger is lying at his home under several disabilities incurred while falling from the roof of & house yesterday forenoon. He will recover. Judge Cunningham today sent young Or- ville Swigert to the reform school at Kear- mey for general all-around incorrigibility. Raub, the independent nominee for constable, has declined to run for the office, 5 ana officially notified the county clerk to that effect this afternoon. o County Cler« Woods today decided that he had no authority for placing the names of the republican nominees for samtary trus- tees on the official bullots. The candidates ‘were not selected by the county convention, but were nominated by the county central committee. Mr. Woods decided that the candidates would have to run on petition, and accordingly C. T. Boggs and Richard O'Neill were 80 nominated this afternoon. Major Bohanan was similarly nominated by the democrats. Bank Wrecker Mosher in Linooln, C. W. Mosher, who has been enjoying the hospitalitics of the Douglas county jail since last June, is once more a citizen of Lincoln, although his residence hereo is of uncertain duration. e was brought to this citv last night and placed 10 the Lancaster county Juil, where he was scen by & represen‘ative of Tae Bre this forenoon. The ex-bank president seemed in the best of heaith and spirits and greeted the re- rorlcr as cordially and as blithely as he did n the days when his erooked financial meihods were sull unsuspected by the peo- le of this city. Mosher talked freely of his incarceration in the Douglas county jail, of the many stories concerning his escapades reets of Omaha and Council Bluffs, visits to the theaters and other places of amusement and of his connection with the affairs of the Capital National bank. He made light of the reports concerning his intimacy with Nellie Sayre, and declared that sho is a total stranger to him. He never heard of her before, and did not know Mrs. Ingalls until the newspapers brought her name before the public, he declared, Then he met her at the jail. She said, he claimed, that it ho ever visited her place she never recalled the fact; that her place was visited by a great many men, and that she could not be expected to remember the faces or names of all or any who came. ‘The conversation then drifted toa d cussion of theaffairs of the Capital National bank. Mosher answered freely many ques- Sions put to him and declined to answer others. Talked About Bank Business. “The whole affair has been particulary un- fortunate,” remarked Mosher, in a manner ‘which left some doubt as to whether he felt that the bank's failure was unfortunate for or for the unbappy creditors, but it is haps fair to state that he had the tors in wing “1 stidl believ: 4% would have been best for all parties con- cerned had my trouble been compromised as I proposed. If & compromise had been made the depositors would have received every dollar due them and there would have been BO necessity for an assessment upon the stockholders. A great deal of the litigation that has followed the bank’s failure would Bave been avoided, and everybody would have becy botter satistied, “The terms which 1 offered in the compro- mise have itributed $190,000 in cash to make up the 's deficioncy.

Why do you say fraudulent?” 1 say fraudulent for the reason that I do not consider the endorsement binding upon the bank. I do not believe the notes can be collected from the receiver.” “Do you expect to be called as a witness in any of the suits now pending against the bank or its officers and directors? “Iam willing to take the stand and yive my evidence on any point that will be of any assistance to the receiver, 1 will not testify in any other cases. In other words I will be a witness for the receiver if he wantis me, but for no one else.” “What is your opinion of the case insti- :lll‘?;l against the bondsmen of ex-Treasurer i A cold wave struck the Jailer's parlorat this instant and Mosher froze up so suddenly that he was unable to utter a word. “One more question. Why were you brought to Lincoln?" “Well,” replied the financier, “I think I was getling to be too much of an issue in Dbuglas county politics.” Jailar Langdon informed Tne Ber repre- sentative that he had received no intimation that Mosher was to be left ia his keeping until late last night, and not then until Mosher was brought into the jail by United States Murshal White and a deputy. He stated further that Mosher wolld be com- pelled to live up to the rules of the jail strictly to the lotter. The rules permit any prisoner to have anything to eat he muy de- sire except bananas und melons, and tiey do not allow an mmate to purchase liquor of any kind. Mosher will occupy a cell as any dther prisoner aud will be entitled to no privileges that are denied to ordinury in- mates. Under no circumstances will he be allowed to leave the jail to get his meals or for any other purpose. IN THE SUPREME (OURT. Barrett Scott Asking for Habeas Corpus— 1mportant Insurance Declsions. Laxcory, Oct. 25.—[Special to Tne Bre.|— Barrett Scott, the defaultiug treasurer of Holt county and under arrest for embezzle- ment, filed with the supreme court today an application for a writ ot habeas corpus, ask- ing that the sherlff of Holt county be re- quired to bring him before the supreme court in order that his bail may be fixed at a reasonable amount. His pe- tition is a voluminous one, and goes over the entire history of his case from the day of his Indictment to the present time. He recites that he was indicted for embezzlement on September 9, 1893, on the charge of having taken funds belong- ing to the county of Holt and the state of Nebraska to the amount of §70,000; that on October 7 he was taken before Judge Kihkad,one of the district judges in and for Holt county, and his bond fixed at the sum of $24,000. The cBurt adjourned until October 9, 1 order togive him an oppor- tunity to furnish the bail. On that day he appeared in court with a bond signed by himself and the foliowing sureties: Ben DeYarman, John Horrisky, 1. R. Smith, E Edward Grady, John N. ' Menzie, Meredith, Milo nk Darr, John Berry, John Hubby, William McWhorter and J. B. Berry. The court held that the sure- were not sufficient and again adjourned, this time until October 16, in order to give him time to find further security. On the 16th he again appeared with more names to his bond. This time, however, County At- torney Murphyappeared and filed a motion to increase the amount of the bond to $100,- 000. Atto Harrington, also represent- ing the prosecution, fiied an objection to & number of the names on the bond. Where- upon the court, without taking any tes! mony and without any showing other than that made in the motion of the county at- torney, increased the amount of the bond to $70,000. Claims the Amount Excessive. In the main body of the petition Scott's attorneys enter into what may be called an elaborate argument to prove that the amount of the bond is excessive. They cite the fact that when Scott was eiected treas- urer of Holt county he gave a bond for §200,- 000, signed by twenty of the most prominent and influential citizens of Holt county; that since his arrest on the charge of embezzie- ment suit has been commenced against him- self as well as against tho tweuty men upon his official bond, thus depriving him of the assistance of twenty of the best meu of the county, who might otherwise be induced to go upon his bonds in the prescot case. In addition the petition urges the fact that in last uly the Holt county bank failed and thus involved a great many other leading citizens and business men in disaster, thus making them unavailable as sureties in his present extremity. Then he cites the fact that, owing to the trouble ex- perienced by the numerous citizens who are already involved in litization by reason of the fact thas they have been upon his and other bonds, there is now a general senti- ment in Holt county against signing bonds of any description. e cites further that most of the citizens of Holt county are, as a class, poor men, And most of them have their property encumbered by mortgage. He claims that it will be utterly impossible for him to secure bail to the amount of 70,000 and that if the amount is kept at that fizure he will be compelled to lie in jail until he can be brought to trial. Wants a Change of Venue, Another new and startling proposition made in the petition is Scott's claim that he will not be able to secure a fair and im tial trial in Holt county, 4and that he will be compelled to g0 to some other county in order to secure such a trial. He also denies all the aliegations in the indictment charg- ing him with the embezzlement of any of the funds of the connty. ‘Wherefore he prays that a writ of habeas corpus may be granted to bring him before the supreme court to be admitted o bail ac- cording to law. ‘The court gave the attorneys of Holt county until next Saturday in which to file an answer to the petition and set the case for hearing on November 8, J. J. King of O'Neill was appointed a referee to take any testimouy bearing upon the case that may be offered. He will commence the work next week. Judge M. B. Reese ot this ity has been engaged to assist the county attor- ney of Holt county and is now at work upon the answer to the petition filed by Scoit's attorneys today.

But in.time Louis began to treat his wife after a manuer uot in accord- ance with his marital vows, and she was repeatedly compelled to leave him with her children to escape his cruelty. Her husband, she avers, was in the habit of calling her Vile names before the family and strangers and accusing her of falsity to her marriage vows. s continued with variations until.
