Henry Stehr is Put
on Trial on Charge
Of Numbering Child

MADISON, Neb., Nov. a.-CSpecial Tel
egram.) 1.-The impaneling OF the jury In
the case OF the state against Henry
Stehr. charged with the murder of his
4-year-old stepson, Kurt Stehr. by cruelty
and neglect, was completed today. County
Attorney James Nichols made the opening
statement for the state and NJ. ID. Tyker
for the defense
The first witness introduced by the
state was Ernestino Clentz, a nurse, at
whose home the unfortunate boy was
brought by his stepfather, stehr, and
where he died after having both feet
amputated. She testified to the bruised
and neglected condition OF the boy, after
which she was temporarily excused, and
her daughter, Margaret Clentz, n pro-
fessional nurse, who had charge Of the
case during the operation corroborated
the statements of her mother.
AT this point in the trial the state at
tempted to get before the jury the state
ments made by Stehr to the Clentzs and
others when he brought the boy TO their
home, but the court held that no founda-
ton had been laid for such testimony and
would not permit the nurses to testify
on these matters. Thereupon Miss Clentz
was temporarily excused and Joseph
Leebus, who accompanied Stehr 20 the
Clentz home with the dying boy. was
called for the purpose of providing a
foundation upon which the testimony OF
the nurses might be admitted touching
statements made to them by Stehr.
owing to the failure of DR.. A. b. Tas-
jean, the physician who attended the
child in his last hours, to respond to the
subpoena, court adjourned until O'Clock
Wednesday morning Twenty wit
nesses for the state and a large number
for the defense have been summoned,
Sentiment runs high against the stehrs
at Norfolk and the progress of the case
is being watched with keenest interest.

evening and pleaded guilty and were
given the maximum fine imposed under

STATE BANKS ARE RELEASED
State Treasurer Decides to Take
Action in Matter.
GUARANTY LAW COVERS CASE
wiz he Possible for All state Banks
20 De Released from bonds
for, state Funds by First
of December.
From a staff CORRESPONDENCE

LINCOLN, Nov. 2i.-(Special state
Treasurer Walter A. George has decided
to release state banks from depository
bonds. Acting under a decision OF the
attorney general. based on the guaranty
law as amended by the last legislature.
he will require no bonds for the security
OF state funds in depository banks The
manner in which bonds are to be released
has been studied out and the treasurer
announces that when banks under the
guaranty law report to the state Bank
ing board the amount OF public funds
they have no deposit and pay the tax
required for the guaranty fund their
bonds may be released. The banks are
required by the guaranty law to report
the amount Of deposits June 1 and De-
cember and the tax under the guaranty
law must be set aside by the banks July
and January /. 1t will thus be possible
Tor all state banks to be released from
bonds for state funds by January /. The
state treasurer is still prohibited from
denositing more than 30 per cent OF the
capital stock of bank.
The state treasurer has sent the follow
ing letter to state banks:
Gentlemen: The supreme court has de-
Clued IN FAVOR of the guaranty depository
law; The attorney general holds that
public moneys deposited In banks come
under this law
The administration will enforce the laws
OF the state, and /, as state treasurer,
would like to have the state banks under
this law and, while most all of the banks
OF the state that are state repositories
furnished bonds to cover their deposits
for my term OF office which will mature
in January, 1918. l am OF the opinion that
the banks should report to the banking
department the amount of public funds
held on deposit, so that they may be as
sessed the same per cent on those as on
individual deposits. Then / could close
the account under the bond and reopen II
under the depository law.
1t seems to me that the banks that
have reported to the banking department
public funds deposited by public officials,
and having reported them as otherwise
provided for, would not come under the
depository law. but just as soon as the
banks have reported to the banking
department the public funds so deposited
and paid their 3 pet cent under the
guaranty law. they would then be strictly
under the law.
1t is my desire to place all deposits OF
state under the guaranty law. Respect
fully yours, " W. A. GEORGE,
State Treasurer.
