The nldiiruien hava taken Al Hbenck te

sura Hbenck Is the man te de It, If they chii

Is a squire Issue and ought te be squarely

A llLrOIVILK t-TAItlLLU.
An lsirJLblen.NCKR reporter.whesa mem
ory extended back te these events, was
startled te see this same yew Era new take te
Its besom tbl same Sheack, whom it had thin
se bitterly maligned, sud he et out te llnd
the causes thereof.
Manifestly, the sudden change el heart ou
the part of the Ve" Era wa either due te a
bellef In thocentcrsiou of Shenck from hi
admittedly bad ways, or te motives of per per
senal interest.
It Is only proper that the reader should
Judge by th'j fac's which of these metlvus
exercised the controlling Influence in chang
ing the Xeu Em'x judgment tbatShenck was
b rascal untltted te exercUe any control ever
the county finances.
And tirstef all, let a glance be castujicn
Shenck's brief career as county solicitor. On
Saturday last the Intellieencek charged
that he had received 10 from Censtable
r.icuenz te ioek alter me latter s unapproved
bills. In ether words, Shenck, paid by the
county, allowed hlmseir te be paid by a
claimant against the county. After the re re
ceipeor the Kicbeltz bribe, Hbenck. approved
the latter's bills. Shenck, te this crushing
allegation, replies that he has the money
given le him by Klcheltz locked In a separate
drawer, and that he distinctly told Klcheltz
be was net receiving It a a bribe. Was his
conduct lu thl case becoming thst or su
honest county solicitor 7
kvew.n iiy ui. cniirvm.
A man i known by tbe company he keep?,
aud it 1 net uulalr te consider hhenck lu
connection with Ilorace Roberts, his confi
dential clerk, and close companion In his
olllce. It U needles te speak of Reberta'
tepuutien along Harbary Coast, but it Is net
such a would commend him a uu assistant
county solicitor, which pest he has beeuoccti beeueccti
pytng ipparcntly Ter seme tlme.
Shenck's companions, however, concern
himself alone, but 'when thesn companions,
under uover of Shenck's elllclal position,
squeeze county creditors, It becomes the con
corn efthe puehc Thl Is what Keberts hns
beer, tletug. Accerdlug te Shenck'a own
stateaient, he learned a mouth age that
KierL bad bought the fOO bill of YVni.
Weld ler for jei Did Shenck kick Keberts
out of his ofliceas au honest county solicitor
would have done? Keberts evidently know knew
It was all right, or he would have never at
tempted It.
Shencb says he told Weldler net te com
promise, but this Weldler denies. At any
ra'e, the fact is undisputed that Shenck kuew
tt bat Rebert was delug and did net luter luter
lere te prevuut 11.
Agalu Shenck boldly admits hi guilty
kuowledgo that Kcberts was carrying ou a
brokeraico business In discounting bills of
majtUtruteH and constable and then having
thorn, approved by the county solicitor. In
the interview with Shenck in'the ,'ci Em
tu latter nts or the f , SO bill of Mart Dallv,
bought for J 1 by Roberts, that It wa done "In
my 'bt pretence." These two casea clearly
ehew thHt Sheuck wa cegnlzmt or what
K lert was doing. The conclusion that the
publle bss very uatually reached is that the
two ttsre lu collusion. Would an honest
county solicitor allow himself te be placed In
this c unpromising position '
1Mb) Etiri,ilKl) HOBtMS '
Nena appear te be willing te shoulder the
responsibility el the employment of Keberts
since the iNTEbUensci.n has exposed him
aud Shenck. County Commissioner Myers
told an iMnLbtOENCEK reporter en Tuesday
" that bu never knew that Roberts bad any
thing tn de with the bills until he and
Shenck appeared belere the commbslenerK."
Thesauia day he was quoted In the Xcw Era.
a saylug that "he had suggested te Mr.
Stteuck that he employ Mr. Keberts te ssslkt
him lu the examination of the bills and that
bu would see that he was paid for It." Mr.
Myers was seen by an Intelligence! rop rep
reeeuuititeyesterday, and he revised the lat
ter of the abote statements te the extent of
averring thst be had only said that " Keberts
ought te be paid." Sheuck says in bis inter
view that "Mjer told him te get Roberts te
Jein him In the Investigation et these cases."
Frem these utterances It Is net diflleult te
understand where M vera steed in the Keberts
hiring.
Wltr.KE MILUS HAD VTINOLn INTIIK PIE.
On one occasion, within the past year, Kail,
read Otllcer I'yle had a bill agalust the
county for arrests made by him in the dis
charge of his duty, the caes having been dis
posed el lu the quarter sossleus court. Sol
icitor Shenck refused te approve the bill,
en the ground that the county wa uet liable
ler bill et railroad policemen. Finally
l'yle Induced Commissioner Myers te meet
him and Solicitor Sheuck at the solicitor's
rtuce, lu talk ever his claim. Myers and
l'yle talked ever the matter and tbe commis
sioner linally agroed that the bill might be ap ap
pretect it Fyle paid a bill he owed forcletbluir
te Myer A Kathfen, which was outlawed,
hating beeu standing ever six year. I'yle
Bgreed te pay that bill and Myers Insisted
en the money being paid before the approval
or the bill. Thl elllcer took the ameuut or
Myers A Kathlen's bill out or bis pocket, paid
It, und then Myers went te the front olllce
where Shenck was settlng,andsald teSuenck
"It Is all right, the bill may new be ap ap
peved." Solicitor Shenck then and there
approved the bill and l'yle cot hi money.
The commissioners seme time age made a
rule that the bills el policemen for dismissed
case would net be considered until the bills
el the nlderuien belore whom the cases wero
heard were tiled. Thl rule was violated a
uumler el time, uetably m tbe cive of ex ex ex
Constabie Snetik. Hi bill ler dismissed
case befere Alderman Harr was prosented
and approved, one of the arrangements made
belng that Myers A Kathfen were te be paid
the money due by Swenk te that tlrm. The
bill was approved by Snenck and Myers iV
Kathfen were paid the amount due from
Hwenk and the balance or the bill was paid

When the commissioners employed au
