How far did you go?" broke in
the father, excitedly, wondering what
sort of a mesalliance in the family he
might have to face some day with
such a Don Juan for a son.
"Oh, l didn't go any further than

No, replied the young man, calm

She says SO herself, persisted the
Young man.

Then what a foolish proposition it

Leading Jews of Omaha are very indig-
nant at the action of L. Harris, who pub
lished letter in the World-Herald Monday
evening ADVOCATING thsp candidacy Of Gill
bert M. Hitchcock. Mr.. Harris, they say,
has a right to personally support Mr..
Hitch or any other candidate he may
fancy, but he has no right to speak as a
representative OF the Jewish people in max
ing his preference public. Least of all is
he authorized TO speak in the name of
B'nai Birth or the Associated Jewish Char
tiles Members Of these organizations are
especially wrought up over the apparent
effort of the letter signed by Mr.. Harris,
which does not say SO in so many words,
but purports to be the expression of the
organizations. Harris has no authority
to speak for either organization, and his
position is strongly resented by the men
who are most concerned in the wellbeing
of the societies, Especially do they resent
the presumption of Harris in pretending to
speak for the Jewish citizenship Of Omaha

and trial for being a party to BARLEY

II he be found guilty Of being particips

ties and Wattles being a competent bust
ness man-yea, more a business man Of the
first class-was never heard of taking a
second mortgage from borrower and ad-
vancing his own money. Then again Hitch
cock was not making application to Wat
ties for a loan. He was not even ac-
quainted with Wattles at that time. He
was making the application to BARLEY and
BARLEY sent him to the bank where he
Bartley) had funds belonging to the state.
and the 5000 was taken out Of BARLEY
treasury account by endorsement on the
check from Wattles to Hitchcock
Again, would BARLEY even loan his own
money to a man on the verge OF financial
ruin without security? The idea is absurd
Hitchcock would not have gone to BARLEY
for loan IL BARLEY had been a private
banker at Atkinson as he was before he
became state treasurer and man Of Oh.
posite party to Hitchcock. But BARLEY
was, at that time state treasurer ant
intending to be a candidate for reelection
Did Hitchcock think that by not fighunl
him, although a republican, for that DO
sition, he could coax a loan from BARLEY

action lacks even semblance Of bushes,

Hitchcocks Defense Dissected by Lawyer

90 straight transaction. why should Hitch
cock on october s. 1904. have requested a
letter from BARLEY saying that the $500
borrowed through Wattles was money
taken from Bartley's personal private ac-
count This Is proof positive that Hitch
cock knew he was borrowing that money
from BARLEY instead OF from Wsttles.
II he thought II was Wattles money. he
was getting. why did ne want BARLEY to
say that II was his tBaruey's) money.
Nine years had elapsed since he made thet
renewal note to Wattles and ne had been
accused Of being a beneficiary OF BARLEY $
embezzlement. Now Hitchcock says Bart
ley is a liar and blackmailer, and yet he
puts before the public letter from Bart
ley and asks the public to believe the
statement OF man whom he, Cor one pur-
pose calls liar and blackmailer, and
for another purpose, dear BARLEY" and
~ still another purpose. asks people to
believe this same man, when his statement
is in favor OF Hitchcock and made at his
request
Is IT possible that IL BARLEY is such a
liar as Hitchcock says he is might he at
that time have been induced by Hitch
cock, when Hitchcock asked him to write
that statement, to have lied about Il? Ger
tainly, IL he would loan state funds to
Hitchcock to save him from financial ruin.
he would not hesitate to lie about II to
save Hitchcock from character bankruptcy.
The greatest crime man can commit
against his fellow men is ingratltude. but
Hitchcock to save himself is free to apply
the epiteth Of liar and blackmailer TO the
man who saved him from ruin and spent
five years in prison for helping him.
Criminals are necessarily convicted upon
circumstantial evidence because Of the fact
that they invariably endeavor TO cover up
their acts and therefore. the courts must
rely upon circumstantial evidence for their
conviction, as in the Crippen case in Lon
don, England, and the Hyde case In Kan
sas City, Mo.
1t is said that Hitchcock threatened to
have BARLEY re-arrested and sent to the
penitentary. II that should happen. it
might result In the state getting some OF
that money back, for where thieves fall
out honest men sometimes get their dues.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-11-08

The discussion whether Hitchcock will
put it back is assuming large proportions
and even some are asked to give a sym
pathy vote TO Hitchcock to vindicste him
for alleged abuse In this campaign.
Where was there ever an outlaw OF the
worst type put on trial for his crime but
some good sympathetic souls would bless
him and shower him with flowers sent TO
his cell They overlook the crime in sor-
rowing for his plight.
The Hitchcock sympathizers forget that
his mode Of discussing political questions
has always been to traduce the character
Of candidates on the opposing ticket. How
many of these sympathizers remember the
attack of Hitchoock's paper upon the
character Of one Of the most worthy dig.
nitied and learned men OF the supreme
bench Of Nebraska, after he had reared a
family. had attained distinction and honor
in his profession and as a citizen. Hitch
cocks paper went back 70 his boyhood
days and exposed him TO public sCorn
ignominy and disgrace, TO the sorrow and
shame of his family, by holding up Ia
public gaze the imperfectons OF youth In
one who had by long years Of upright
conduct become in their eyes something
to worship as a father, husband and re-
spected citizen.
These charges against Hitchcock cannot
properly or satisfactorily be tried where
there is no judge to pass upon the law gov
erning the facts and upon the adms sibillty
OF evidence, but enough has been produced
in print to make it incumbent upon the
attorney general to sue Hitchcock for re-
covery of the money which he refuses to
return, for the statute of limitations, while
it may run against BARLEY, does not run
against the state. A legal inquiry into the
facts both by the courts and by the United
States senate should Hitchcock be elected
will be imperative.
Does the state of Nebraska want tc
send to the senate OF the United states q
man who. IL elected, is likely to be met
at the threshold with a charge of being a
