MOORE FOUND GUILTY
SENTENCED TO THE PENI-
TERTIARY EIGHT YEARS.
Judge Cornish Overruies Motion IN Arrest
of Judgment and Holds That the Ex.
Auditor Was Guilty NJ Embczriing
Money belonging To the state.

The ease Of Eugene Mo ,rc cx.nuditor
of the state of Nebraska, was up be-
fore Judge Cornish in the district court
of Lancaster county Monday last, and
the motion in arrest of judgement was
ovcrrulcd by the court. Mr.. Moore
was then remonded To the custody of
the sheriff.
In relation TO the defendants plea
that he was not auditor and the money
taken was not state money, the court
in his opinion in substance said that
defendant was treated with ms auditor.
and having received the money under
aud by virtue of the premises Il does
not lie in his mouth for the first time
TO urge that the law was u~nconstitu-
tional. The law and the Office which
is good enough TO enable him TO col
lcct the money is good enough to make
IL his duty To account for IL TO the
state.
The judge, after quoting section 1914
OF the criminal code for the violation
of which Moore has been declared
guilty, in effect said that the mere
possession OF n thing created n charge
and duties respecting IL. by receiving
the fees from insurance companies the
defendant accepted the charge of the
same, and IL was his duty TO turn the
same over to the state. By not so
doing he was guilty OF embczzlemcnt.
Tuesday morning at . o'clock the
~cx-auditor faced Judge Cornish to re-
ccivc his sentence. When asked IL he
had any thing to say n 10 why sen
tence should rot be passco upon him,
Mr.. Moore arose, and in n low tone,
his voice broken with sobs, made his
statement. lie said that when he
took the money he did SO with the in
tention Of replacing IL; that the debt
piled up faster than he imagined; and
that he had been led into il Ivy his
friends. He finally broke down entire
ly and had To quit.
Judge Cornish then began pronounce
ing the sentence. He at first said ten
years, but at this juncturc Mrs. Moore
sprang to her feet and in II pleading
tonc sud: MERCY, have mercy. your
honor" The judge, himself somewhat
agitated, then made the sentence eight
years and n fine OF SIG. 900. or twice
the amount of the cmbezzlement. In
pronouncing sentence the judge re-
marked upon the prevalence of cmbez-
cling cases. and said that ii allowed TO
continue, and criminals allowed tn cs-
cape, Barrett SC ttcascs would become
frequent and the foundation of the
government threatened.
The scene in the court room was OK
trcmcly affecting, and the sympathy
was with the unfortunc prisoner who
listened to his friends ADVICE which
had resulted in his nndoing. The SEN
tencc is regarded as n Just one.
a new trial was refused, and Mr..
Moore is q in the custody of the
sheriff. His attorneys will attempt to
secure a supcrsedcas bond and "a sus-
pension of sentence from the supreme
court pending an appeal To and II re-
view of the case by that tribunal.

AFTER SCOTS ~BONDSMEN.
Attorney-Generai Eilses Briefs In the Bar.
rett Scott Bond Case.
COUNTY.

The suit brought by Holt county
against the bondsnen Of barrett Scott
has been appealed to the supreme court,
and on account 90 its similarity to the
hartley bond suit, and the bearing it
will have on that case, is commanding
considerable attention. On this account
the court requested Acknowledgement
Smyth TO prepare the brief for the
county, and the printed copies of that
document have just been filed. In
summing up his argument the attorney
general calls attention to these facts:
''Scott accepted his commission, filed
his oath and delivered his bond within
time. Did everything he could 10
qualify under his new tenure. He
claimed as the duly elected officer and
the county admitted his claim and per-
mitted him, as the officer which he
claimed TO be, 10 remain in possession
OF the county's money. He received
the salary of treasurer and enjoyed all
OF its emoluments." These reasons are
given why the bondsmcn are now
cstopped from pleading irrcgularity
in the approval of the bond.

It is safe TO predict that the Delaware

will doubtless be applied to the diver

"I-rm so sorry, Miss Gracely, that

"Why, Mr.. Scraper, I'm sure you're
