Done at Lincoln this 2th day of January, 5 By the acting lmc-rnnr (Signed) (Bigned) oruam, W ARl (8eal.) Secrefary of State, Indictment of John B. Meserve. The Indictment of former Treasurer John B. Meserve has been an absorbing topic of discussion at the state house and in political circles today. It bad been n- crally supposed that Mr. Meserve loaned large amounts of state money for hif own priva o, but no one suspected the matter was being considered by the grand Jury until Wednesday evening, ‘when the information was conveyed to a few political friends of Mr. Meserve, by C. J. Smyth, former attorney general, and by Joe Edger- ton, who wi ecretary of the State Board of Irrigatign, during the last years of its exfutence. T two men served the state with Mr. Moserve In the so-called reform administration. They came to Lincoln Wednesday night to break the news of the proceeding in the Dougl: county grand Jury. R. E. L. Herdman and a few other well knowrr fusionists were taken into thelr confidence, but asldq from them the an- nouncement of the indictment was a sur- prise tomll. In the Meserve home on G street the news was a depressing blow, from which the family has not yet recovered. Mr. Meserve formed a stock company several months ago, to engage In the busin of manufacturing patent pocketbooks, and Mr. Edgerton is his principal business asso- clate. ““The action of the grand jury of Douglas county 1s surprising,” sald a man today who was connected with the former admini- stration, “for we all thought the political adversaries of Mr. Meserve had exhausted their ammunition long before he retired from ‘office. It It true that Mr. Meserve was a poor man when he went into the treasurer's office. He served there four years and drew $10,000 salary during that pericd. There were frequent charges that he pald upward of $19,000 of old in- debtedness after going into office, but none of them has been verified, and brobably never will be.” It is known here that Mr. Meserve ne- gotiated several months ago for the pur- chase of one of the largest banks in Adams county and that the deal, after being al- most consummated, fell through because of @& dispute among the owners, but not be- eause of Mr. Meserve's inability to buy.
