reported by him corresponding in date It
seems apparent that at least that amount
vet remains in his hands and due to Rock
Island county.
The county having paid the expenses
for conveying convicts to the penitentiary
on February 10Th 1876, is certainly entitled
to credit for the full value of the state
warrant received for said services and not
for the net proceeds so that the conclusion
that the sum of $500 is due Rock Island
county for the service seems in the judge
ment of your committee to be well found
ed
As to the claim of Mr.. Huesing for re-
fund of the various sums amounting in the
aggregate to the sum of $1,000 referred
to by him in his communication of March
18th 1882.
Your committee see no more reason why
that amount should be refunded to him
than if he should make like demand for
a refund of all of the fees earned and ac
counted for by him during his term of Of
fee. The earnings referred to in said com
munication which Mr.. Huesing asks this
board to refund were for the services of
conveying convicts to the penitentiary and
reform school, and were entered as earnings
of his Office ia the same manner and in
the same fee register as any other earnings
of his office, and will be seen by reference
to the sherif's fee register on the pages
indicated in his report.
Your committees have been advised
by the counsel employed by the
county that all the fees and earnings of of
ficers paid by fixed salary, should be re-
ported and accounted for as earnings of
the various offices. Your committee would
also call the attention of the board to the
fact the earnings for that kind of service
have been reported as fees earned by each.
fees since salary instead of fees have
been fixed as their compensation.
In view of all these facts your committee
do not believe that the demand of Mr..
Huesing for a refund of the amount of
fees earned and reported by him for that
kind of service is made in good faith, and
would recommend that the Committee on
Settlements be directed to call on Mr.. Hue
sing and demand from him the sum of
60 100 dollars (S57.6o) with
full power TO settle the same by suit or
otherwise All of which is respectfully
submitted.

HEILWAGoN.

Yesterday afternoon Heilwagon was Wis
tied in Jail by his wife and the five young
est children. The meeting was very touch
ing, and the condemned man, as well as his
wife, were visibly overcome during the in
terview. Heilwagon gave to each OF his
children letter and also small piece of
money, which he requested them to keep
in memory of their father. He read the
letter directed to his wife, in which he
spoke of the hard fate in store for him on
the oath, and said it was hard to die such
death at any time, but it is particularly
distressing in his case, when the hanging
was accomplished by the evidence of his
own family.
He caressed his youngest child and ap-
peared to be very fond of him. During
the conversation he left the impression on
the minds of his auditors that it was use
less for him longer to protest his innocence
of the crime proven against him, but that
il all the facts were known, Otto would be
his companion in jail and on the scaffold
When the time came for his family to
leave the JAIL he babe them all farewell, as
he said he never expected to see any of
them again. and intimated that it was his
wish that none of them should be in at,
tendance at the hanging He kissed the
little baby several times, and as the pro-
cession filed out of the Jail he asked his
wife to make his children think as well of
him as possible after he was dead.
The scene was very impressive, and had
its effect upon the other prisoners as well
as the guards. They were all more or less
effected, and state that for some time after
the meeting was over the inmates of the
Jail were remarkably quiet and subdued.
Heilwagen secures about two hours
sleep during the twentyfour, but is still
blessed with normal appetite. His men
tai suffering is most aneareffes1i;n AIS inabil-
itysttee secure rest~at night. He has repeat
eddy expressed himself as wishing that the
hanging was over with. as he thinks that
he will strike some country after death
where there viii be no courts and detec
tives' testimony.

Your committee in the ir report as enter
ed on the Supervisors record, on pages
PA and 215, in August, 1881, assumed
that Mr.. Huesing might be entitled to some
expenses incurred in conveying convicts to
the penitentiary and reform school, thai
should properly be taken out of the
balance shown to be due from Mr.. Hues
ing, but held that he should show what ex-
penses he had incurred for such service.
The finance committee called on Mr.
Hussing number of times with the view
of getting an account of his expenditures
for conveying convicts to the penitentiary
and reform school, but were unable to do
so. After failing to get such a statement
from Mr.. Huesing, said committee exanrin-
ed the records of the. Board of Supervisors
during his term, but owing to bills having
been mislaid or lost could not determine
with any certainty whether the county
had paid any bills for expenses in convey
ing convicts except in one case, which was
bill for $500, allowed on Feb 10th,
1876.
After having made said examina-
tien said finance committee made
report on August 9Th, 1881, which is en-
tered on the supervisors record, On page
245, referring to the balance due from said
Huesing in the following language, viz:
Your committee have also had several
interviews with Mr.. Huesing and are sat
isfied that the difference between the
amounts of state warrants received by Mr..
Huesing and the amounts of expenses in
CURED in conveying said prisoners to the
penitentiary and reform school, except in
case of one warrant issued to Mr. Huesing
on Feb. 25th, 1876, for $780, and one
bill paid by the county on Feb. 10Th, 1876,
for expenses amounting to $50 90. While
your committee is unable to show conclu-
that said warrant is not account
ed for yet they are of the opinion that the
sum of $500 is due Rock Island county
from Mr.. Huesing on State warrants"
Your committee now desire to call the
of this Hon Board to the fact,
that since January 1875, Mr.. Huesing on
ly credits the county in his fee register
with net proceeds of state Warrants, and
your committee have not been able to- dis
cover that he has at any time or in any
way credited the county for the 835 90 al
lowed him for such expenses on Feb.19 1876
and the warrant having
been issued on February 25th 1879
for. that service amounting to
$3.50 and no such amount having been
