nefanltinr Treasurer.


SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 1S.-Consid-
cradle excitement has been occasioned
here by the circulation of the report that
the city treasurer. Presto Wright. was a
defalter. Wright has had the Office of
city treasurer for the past five years con-
tinuously. At the last election he was
not candidate and George CASTOR, the
Democratic candidate, was elected. 1t
was claimed that CASTOR was ineligible,
as he had not lived in the city year,
and Wright refused to turn over the
books. ana funds. The council decided
CASTOR eligible and ordered Wright to
turn over the Office and sppurtenances-
Five different days were designated by
Wright for the purpose, but
he always failed to materialize. This
delay gave rise to the suspicion that he
was short. On investigation the comp
troller's bank account was found to be
s., 600 short. His bondsmen Ex-Gov
Palmer, Gen. j. @, McClernand and Gen.
g. q. Lamb, were notified. and Wright
notified to meet them yesterday. This
he agreed to do, but has not been seen by
them or their attorneys who were wait
ing for him all afternoon. Wright has
always been popular, was war Demo
crat and was appointed to the Spring
field postofice by President Lincoln. Il
was alleged when he left that Office thai
he was defaulter to the amount OF
about $1,000.

Burton. The judge explained the nature
of the charge against the prisoners and
law in relation thereto. He then ana
lived the evidence against Burton and
called the attention of the jury to the

TO very little credence, and that If there
was any truth in his statement 1t is as
founding that no witness was called 70

Mrs. E. j. Phelps, wife of the new
United States minister to England, was
in the court room dressed in mourning
and listened closely to the Judges charge.
Mr.. Phelps seemed very much impress

The jury returned verdict nndIng
both prisoners guilty. The prisoners
were thereupon both sentenced to penal
servltude for life.
CLAIM INNOCENCE.
Cunningham maintained his sell COM
posure, but Burton broke down and Sob
bed when the verdict was rendered.
When the prisoners were asked II they
had ANYTHING to say why the sentence OF
the law should not be passed upon them,
Cunningham protested that he was inno-
cent. He said that he was willing to &C
cept servitude for life, butt they could not
touch his soul. Burton simply declared
that he was innocent.
