The Indignation which seized the
people when Auditor MOOre's deficit
was revealed to them has evapOrated
now that he is sentenced to eight
years in the penitentiary. The scene
in the court room last Tuesday when
Judge Cornish sentenced the prisoner
satisfied the most vindictive. The
horrible convict life was revealed to
those present. Every man there had
vision Of the cell, the cot, the dark
dead air, the mOnOtOnOus shutting lock-
step march Of the prisoners, the coarse
fare served on battered ware, the alb
sence Of everything that makes living
worth the while, and the remOrSeful
anguish of the defaulter by night and
day. Good conduct will cut of part
of his sentence, perhaps two years.
But at the end of six years, the mOnOt-
OnOus, cherries existence passed in
the company of degenerates under the
stern watch Of other men who, in his
honest days, we're below his own social
grade, will have transformed Mr..
Moore as completely as transmigratiOn
into another body. Sympathy for him
and for his innocent family cannot
effect the justice Of the sentence. The
judge only did his duty. but there was
not one who envied him his function
that day. The victim Of speculation
and the money squeeze received his
sentence with sObs and contest II
guilt. The public, so far as Eugene
Moore is concerned. are satisfied that
justice has been done, and when he
emerges from the six years Of silence
there will be none to reprOach him.
The street car company is not re-
ceiving, nor has not much interest on
the investment. The attempt to make
the citizens Of Lincoln pay the taxes
due the city from the company will
probably fail Many Of the decisions
which have been rendered lately en-
courage THE COURIER to hope that
technicalities are losing power to in
fluence judge and jury. The Moore
defense was technically strong, but
the Judge brushed it away with the
remark to the effect that the money
had been stolen from the state and the
state was competent to hold the thief
responsible and punish him. Public
Justice demands that the street rail-
way company pay every cent of the
taxes due the city or release their
property to the city to be operated by
the city. That experiment might s
well be tried in Lincoln. Its success
would encourage the believers in mu-
nicipal ownership to run their own
gas and water plants. The company
is antagonizing the taxpayers of Lin
coin by refusing to pay taxes Which

The two suits against Josiah Ames, one
for an accounting for property handled by
Ames and the other for the return Of S4S,
500 worth of bonds, have dragged his fam
ily affairs into the courts. 1t is probable
that the trial will bring some interesting &
reading matter up. Many depositions
have been taken at different times. The
defendants is one of the most interesting.
He gives the age of Mrs. Ann Harris, his
sister, as 81 years, and says she was worth
approximately $3.50, 900 when they came
10 California. OF this sum Mr.. Ames on
the trip carried S2G, 600 in the shape of a
draft. Mrs. Harris also owned thirty
shares in the South American Gable Com
pany, which he transferred to his name at
her suggestion. He declares that later he
reconveyed this stock to his sister. He
then comes down to Mrs. Harris leaving
his residence, when all the bitterness
was brought about. The deposition then
reads:

she cease to live in your house9

he denies threatening to contest his sis
