THE RHoADEs CAsE.-in ouritem in
relation tothe Supreme Court decision
In the State Treasury defalcatiOn case,
1t seems we gave the main points OF
the opinion correctly but m~isconstrued
the purport of the decision. The judg-
ment of the Court below was reversed
on the ground of exclusion of certain
evidence. Appellants, we believe,
claimed that this evidence would go to
show that the deialCatIOn occurred
going on Hhoadcs, bonds,
or during his first term OF ofI1Ce. 50
far the decision ISL taVorOt the bonds
men, and the cause must be tired de
novo, and itthe evidence excluded on
the first trial should establish the tact
that the declaration occurred prior to
the time appellants became RESPONSE
bic on the bonds of RhOade>. of course
that would "le, them OUT but As The
case stool before the Supreme Court
the bondsmen were held responsible.
Several experts and Legislative COM
mittees have investigated the mat

and all of them sigmally failed 10 es-
tablish anything. Why the evidence
said to have been excluded 10y the
Court below was not laid before the
Joint committee Ofthe last Legislature,
Is u MYSTERY. one thing i ccrtaln:
the detaiCatiOn WAS nov to exist
before the expiration OF Ehuadcs' last
term. and that j all thar the most
searching investigation has so far been
able to establish.

law on the subject az present. 1t
would seem that the effort of the last
LEGISLATURE to amend the law a not
a success, The bin a. passed NOT being
perfect. Another agreed case was be-
ing gotten up in Virginia City yeSter-
