HINT NEW CHAPTER
OF BARTLEY CASE
Attorney General Reed is Consider
ing Suit to Recover from Friends"
Who Borrowed the Money.
NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
From a Staff Correspondent

From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Aug. Especial y
Is another chapter in the famous
BARLEY case soon to be opened up?
That is question said to be disturb
ing various former friends" of the
former state treasurer, who had per-
suaded themselves that the story had
been closed and that they could sleep
in comfort. only now to hear dis
uuieting rumors that Attorney Gen
eral Reed Is considering the question
of proceedings to recover back for
the state treasury the sums that may
be traced to beneficiaries who are in
a position to make reimbursement.
While It has been known some such
steps had been figured on at different
times. only to be held off by invisible
Influence" the hint that something may
be soon doing now comes in this tip from
Edgar Howard in his personal column
In his Columbus Telegrami
Attorney General Reed is a pretty busy
man, but still l believe that within a
suit to collect many thousands Of dollars
from the fellows who borrowed the
school money from Joe BARLEY and for
got TO pay it back, Attorney Genera
Reed Is not a big-bodied man, but he
has the ability to make big trouble fol
schooi-money thieves, and / guess there
will be something doing before the tdef
of November.
The legal status OF the matter Is that
when BARLEY was pardoned out, 1t was
with an understanding that he would
himself collect in the money he had
loaned out and pay 1t over to the state
| representing that he could not do this
while behind prison bars. He never
turned in any of the money. nor did his
bondsmen, nor did any Of those to whom
he had loaned the stolen money.
II is said that no statute Of limitations
can run against claim owing to th'
state.
