Jersey Justice.

ANoV Isl AAhpaaO
The general sessions court room in
jersey City was crowded to its utmost
capacity yesterday morning st the
trial Of Garrett 8. Boice, president,
Edward e. Shaw, cashier, and John
L. Bech, book. keeper, of the wrecked
City Bank. The defendants were
brought into court and District Attor.
ney McGill addressing .Boice, uaid,
"You desire to retract your former
plea and plead guilty to the indict.
msnts found against you7" Boice
nodded sfirmatively, and then the
same question was put to each of the
other defendants and the same afirma.
tive nod given In ans Judge
Garretson directed the prisoners to
stand up for sentence, and addressing
Boice, said:
"No sadder duty than this has ever
been imposnd on this court since 1
have been connected with it. You are
well known to the court, In fact, you
possessed the confidence of every man
In the community. You have betray.
cd your trusts; you have ruined two
banks and ruined the individuals who
had confidence In you and In the
banks. Taere Ia nothing the court can
say that will add to or take from the
tenor OF the sentences about to be pro-
nounced."
The judge then sentenced Boice on
each of the twelve indictments against
him, giving him ten years for forgery,
two years for making a false statement,
five years oh each Of five indictments
for embezzlement, and five years on
each of five indictments for over-
drawing his account, making sixty. two
years In all. As the other sentences
are to run conourrently with the ten
years for forgery, the term Ia ten years
in all at hard labor. Shaw was then
sentenced to SIX years In the state
prison and Beach to four years, also
at hard labor. The defendants re-
ceived the sentences calmly and
seemed u~nconcerned. They were re-
manded to the county jail to await re.
moval to Trenton. There Is no sim
liar case on record In the state-..that
Is, where the puuishment so quickly
followed the crime. The bank closed
Its doors on January 10.h, and three
days later, when the receiver was ap-
pointed and made a partial investiga.
tion, IL was discovered that Boice,
Shaw and Beach had appropriated NOT
only all the deposits, but the assets,
and the paid up capital of $50, 900.
As o of the directors or stock,
holders of the bank made any motion,
the defendants were arrested on
complaint made by a police official
on information and belief, at the di.
rection of Chief Murphy.

The Herald says that II 800, 600
is voted for storm water sewer bonds,
there will only be $33, 900 available
for paving purposes under our present
law, which limits the bonded indebted.
ness of cities Of the first class to 10
per cent Of the assessed valuation.
Our present valuation Is fully 80 per
cent too .ow. Every sensible man
knows that 81, 200, 900 does not rep.
resent ~one.ssventh Of the actual value
Of property in this city. The fact Ia
that all our heavy real estate owners
are virtuslly exempted from taxation
ION the greater part Of their
property. A fair assessment would
give Omaha taxable valuation
of $15, 500, 900 and Increase our debt
limit to 81, 800, 600. The next levy will
be made In July and will undoubtedly
show an increase of 81, 900, 900 In our
assessed valuation. This will enable
the city under the law to Issue add.
tional bonds when they are required
amounting to $500, 900. So that the
objeotion..of The Herald has no weight.
Omaha has been reckless In bonding
herself for railroad corporations and
she can afford to be iudioiously liberal
In providing for public improvements
| which will bring In q direct return by
enhancing the value Of real estate and
making our disgraoefully muddy
streets passable.

a literary treat to the large number

Rotations, orations, &C., were,almost
perfect, while, the music, both vocal

celled. These public exercises are
always interesting and instructvei,
and our only snrpr.se is that more
of our people do not witness them.
