IS SEVERELY CONDEMNED
The Riley Verdict Considered a
Miscarriage of Justice.
MADE A FARCE OF LAW
1t Was the Verdict Expected by the
Prosecution 1t Should Have
Been Either First Degree
or Acquittal.

The verdict of the Helena jury in the
Riley case meets with most severe con-
demnation and criticism in Butte.
Helena can no longer point to Butte
as a place where justice often miscar-
ries and juries maxi a farce of the law"
said a prominent attorney yesterday.
II hardly expected a different YER
dict" said County Attorney Stapleton
yesterday. though I had hoped for

sions. Riley should either have been
convicted of murder i'm the first degree
or he should nave been acquitted on the
ground that he was insane when ne
committed the murder. They must
have come To the conclusion that Riley
had no malice when he killed Largely
IL is not considered likely that Riley's
friends or attorneys will seriously move
for a new trial now that they have saved
his neck. They would have done so.

change of venue proposition. in which
they claimed there had been a revers-
ible error committed.
The malignant nature Of Riley was
well shown at Helena during the trial.
Several witnesses from Butte, who had
been well known to Riley, were cordially
greeted by him every time he saw them
until after they had testified. The mo-
ment they went on the witness stand
his demeanor toward them changed. He
glowered at them and showed his teeth
like a mad dog, and his face assumed a
most malignant and vindictive express
sion. After that he received their greet
ings with a wicked scowl on his face,
but did not return them.
II Is not generally known to what ex-
tent the defense went to p for the
trial. Judge Clements made the state
ment after the jury had retired that he
a never mades such a thorough study
of n jury panel as he did of tha from
which the Riley jury had to be selected,
and he was never better prepared to go
a trial than he was in that case. A

Ii is estimated hat the cost of the
trial to Silver Bow county will not eX-

been tried in this county the cost would
have been at least double that amount.

1t is definitely settled that the Butt,

partment informing him il was the in
tention of the department to make the
maximum number of men OF a troop 81
in the three special cavalry regiments.
Major Carr having learned that his in
structions to purchase 100 horses for a
troop were erroneous as rar as the four
Montana troops are concerned. will pur-
chase only a sufficient number to mount
the men OF each troop as II is mustered.
The troop now has 80 horses thai have
been purchased and the rough riders
are breaking % more that. have been
passed as to soundness. Major Carr
left for Missoula yesterday To finish
purchasing horses for Captain Higgins

ed the horses now in training will be
Sufficiently well broken to pass the in
spection as to general fitness for caval-
fy horses. The full complement of
horses will be purchased at that time,
and the troop will then he as fully

The fine weather. of yesterday enabled
the troop to put in a good day at drill

the men were not allowed leave of alb

Spain's Debt and Ours.

From Gunton's Magazine.
Some idea of the magnitude OF this bur-
den resting upon the Spanish people can
be gained by a comparison with our own
situation. Their national debt per capita
IL about is6 pesetas, or 50 in American
money. Mulhall a few years estimated
the wealth of Spain at about A55 per
capita; perhaps by this time IL could be
placed at 800. The per capita debt Of
the Spanish government. therefore. is
more than ~ per cent. of the per capita
wealth OF the entire nation.
The debt of the United States govern
ment. which in 1855 amounted to 81. 10000
900. stood I'm January. 1885. at neD Sl0ll.-
ol.SSs.6+ including the g~reenbacks. This
would be a per capita Indebtedness of
about S4. TIN per capita wealth of the
United states was in 1890 s1.e36; now IL Is
OF course greater. but. even on the 1870
basis. the per capita Indebtedness of the
government to-day amounts to only Ia
per cent. OF the per capita wealth of the
nation. Tn per capita interest charge on
this debt amounted I'm 1867 TO about 80
cents; In Spain the annual cost of the
public debt Is nearly s. per capita.

sore at Lawyer Cavanaugh. and on
meeting him i'm front of the silver Bow
block. after hearing the result of the
suit, walked up to C~avanaugh and re-
marked he had a. mind to give him a
good thrashing. Cavanaugh made no

TO BE EXPERTED AGAIN.
~. q. Halves viii Examine the Books of
Ex-Treasurer Jacobs.

The aldermen gathered i'm Informal con-
ference in the council m yesterday
afternoon and after talking for a time the
conference was resolved into "A special
meeting.
The ghosts Of two suicides were present
at the meeting. The first of the suicides
was Simon Jacobs. a former city treas
urer. The second of the suicides was J. A.
Baker. "A former assistant city treasurer.
The shocking facts connected with these
suicides are well known In Butte and
need not be recalled. Ii will be remem-
bered that Jacobs committed suicide by
putting a bullet In his head the morning
his successor took Office. II was found he
had embezzled many thousands of dollars.
The city employed j. A. Baker To expert
the books of the defaulting treasurer and
ascertain how much had been stolen so
that the city could sue the bondsmen. Mr.
Baker worked several months and found
the total amount of the embezzlement to
he more than $780, 900 and the amount taken
I'm each term was as follows: First. term,
500. 30. second term. Si3. III. OF: third term,
s31,lO2 &c, total. $0.5l9.57. The city decided
to let the deficit of the drst term go. as
the .amount was too small to go to law
about. Preparations were made to bring
suii against the bondsmen OF the second
term and the bondsmen of the third term.
The bondsmen OF the third term finally
compromised with the city, making a set
Element by paying about two-thirds of the
total amount of d~efalcation for the third
term. The bondsmen of the second term
refused To pay and so suit was brought
against these bondsmen. They are w. A.
Clark, IA. l.. Frank and John Caplice,
and suit was brought against them for
Sl3. ll3.0l
Before this suit came to trial j. A. Ra-
ker suicide as Jacobs did, by
putting a bullet I'm his head. The case will
soon come TO trial and the city will he in
bad shape 10 prove its cause without the
testimony of Mr.. Baker. His expert ac-
counts are in the possession of the city,
but he never swore to them. This testi-
mony IL absolutely Indispensable. City At
torney Dewoife called the attention of the
aldermen To the fact that the case must
he dismissed or the city must engage a
new expert TO go over the books.
A proposition was received yesterday
from Henry c.. Halves. lie agreed to ex-
pert the books of the late Simon Jacobs
for SlO per day. and agreed that his to-
tai bill for doing the work should not ex-
coed 500. After careful consideration the
council accepted the proposition and
Halves will begin work on tho books this
morning.
