The Collins Case Postponed.
In the municipal court yesterday morn
ing ID. VI. Collins was promptly on hand.
accompanied by his attorneys, Clapp
Mccartney. As soon as Judge Nethaway
had taken his seat, Fayette Marsh, repre-
senting II. L. Hayden, asked the court to
grant him an order for subpRnas inceSte-
cum. Obliging the railroad company to
produce in court all the books, papers and
other documents of whatsoever character
that related to the station of the Omaha
road in this city during Hayden's occu-
pancy of nearly four years. These books,
etc, had been carried off to st. Paul, Mr..
Marsh said. and he desired to have them
brought here where they could be placed
under the supervision of the court.
1t was the intention on Saturday to
ask for a continuation of the case for thirty
days in order that experts might be en-
ployed 10 examine the books fully in the
interest of his client. At the same time
Saturday he would also ask the court to
order the books receipted for by the court
clerk and deposited i'm the vaults of the
court. under its care, where they cannot be
tempered with by the railroad authorities
Col. Bend and Mr.. Brady will be the ex-
pertS employed. They are well-knOwn,
careful men, and Mr.. Marsh desired. he
told the court, that they should be free to
examine without the supervision or inter-
ference of the railroad officials. He asked
this in the name of justice. His clients
all was involved in this suit,
not only his personal liberty but
his honor and good name. To enable him
to make thorough defense, these books
must be examined by experts other than the
railroads employees. The auditor and this
young man (nOdding to COllins) depend on
Hayden'S conviction to retain their position.
He had seen and read letters from promi-
nent Omaha officials saying they did not
believe Hayden guilty lone is from the
president of the road, it is said. and the
agent of the guaranty company which is OH
Hayden's bond expressed the same belief
just before leaving the city. There mus
be thorough investigation of this case.
There had been an example here only a
few days ago of young man bounded to
death, mOurned now by his wife and chill
dren, who, said Marsh, | believe, did
not steal dollar, and this court
must use its power to put an
end TO proceedings of this kind. County
Attorney i. Castle said he also was in favor
of full, fair trial, and he was sure the
railroad company would produce the books
without difficulty. The only question was
about leaving them so long in the custody
of the court, as the company might need
them. This question was after some dis
cuSsiOn left until Saturday morning and
the subpoena issued for the president. see
rotary, vice president, auditor, assistant
auditor and other officials of the road re-
turnable at Q a. IN. on the LIST of August.
Collins was allowed to go OH his own bond
for $500 until then. The universal
feeling in the case is sympathy for
Hayden and feeling expressed on all sides
that he has done nothing criminal. Said a
prominent gentleman yesterday: 1 bought
a ticket TO Chicago from him once. and
when went in Chicago to buy return
ticket 1 found they charged me So more
than Hayden had charged me in Saltwater:
an investigation revealed the fact that
through inadvertence Hayden had charged
me 81 too little, which l would have to
make up to the company had not returned
II to him. Similar instances are told by
several other parties, and number of cases
where too much change was given. As to
the statement made by Mr.. Hayden in the
GLOBE of yesterday, those in position to
know say it is not only logical but very
probable. This double billing almost
always causes trouble, and to a man not
eonverSant with the details of the railroad
business, as Hayden admitted he was not,
such mistakes were difficult to remedy.
Public sympathy is certainly with him at
present, and great interest is taken in the
outcome of the case.
