DISHONEST RAILROAD COLLECTORS.
| To the Western Associated Press
! OMAHA Neb., July 2.-Complaint was made
to-day by United States district attorney
Neville, against H. A. Newman, late collector of
internal revenue for the district of Nebraska,
John Roberts and W. R. Bartlett, deputy col
! lector. Bartlett is charged with the embezzle-
| ment of $4,000. Newman and Roberts are
charged with knowing the fact, but withhold
| ing the same from the commissioner of internal
revenue for the purpose of shielding Bartlett.
The latter returned the money subsequently,
and Newman's accounts are all
| straight, the government not losing a
| dollar. Newman and Roberts were
arrested to-day and waived examination
| and gave nominal bonds. Bartlett is now IL
| Michigan, and will be arrested as soon as posi-
| BILE. Sympathy here is strong for Newman, as
his violation Of law was prompted by pity for
| Bartlett, whose wife was vecy i'll at the time,
| dan exposure then might have caused her death,
and as full restitution has since been made to
the government. 1t is considered here very
doubtful whether the grand jury will bring in
| dictments against Newman and Roberts under
the foregoing circumstances
