Nebraska Ex-Treasurer Alleges Legal
Death and Objects to Suit.
OMAHA, Dec. IA novel petition
has been filed in the district court by
Joseph Bartley, ex.state treasurer, now
under 20 years sentence for looting the
treasury of $500,0O0.
The petition was an answer to the
states suit in which Bartley is made
co-defendant with his bondsmen by the
state, in which it seeks to recover the
amount stolen.
The petition declares that Bartley
cannot be sued, since he is dead, hav-
ing been sentenced to the penitentiary
for 20 years. His attorneys declare
that under the state law no convict can
be sued. If this contention is held the
suit against the bondsmen cannot be
maintained, since the principal must
be sued with or before sureties are sued
