LINCOLN, Feb. 22.-(specisl.)-'The in
terview with Joseph s. BARLEY. the de-
f~aulting state treasurer, as published in
The Bee this morning." said a prominent
member Of the legislature, stamps him as
a man of more gall and b~raEenness, I won't
say nerve, and with less decency than any
man l ever saw. BY that interview he has
more than ever cemented sentiment against
himself and his bondsmen.
AS for BARLEY and his bondsmen being
released from their obligation by the iegis-
%lature, l think there 10 no possible chance
for that. l was told some time ago that
a considerable sentiment had been de-
veloped In favor Of the resolution which
has been prepared for their release, and
I took pains to investigate II myself. l
md absolutely no sentiment In favor Of
such q move in my part Of the legislature
and II is my opinion that the resolution
will never be introduced"
Bartley's own action during this session
Of the legislature has done much to create
a sentiment against him. Many nights
recently he has been seen intoxicated in
the hotels frequented by legislators. He
plays the part Of a good fellow and those
who will may join him in his revels. That
is the life that Joe BARLEY. once re-
spected and honored, is leading to scar
his own conscience to prevent IL from
pricking him for the crime he has done
bis state and his friends.
Going the Pace that Kills.
BARLEY is going the pace that kills. and
according to the history OF the lives of
those OF his stripe. there lie every reason
TO believe that SON day his brain, de-
bauched with liquor. his physical body =
wreck, his conscience goadlng him onward.
Joe BARLEY will tell the people of Nebraska
who IL was that got part Of the money he
embezzled.

The remains were taken to the old HON
