il! tin y h;nl was tin' testimony ot
ti'n Kenyan that hi' was not alli
o do anything hut a few chores,
nit Hen had said tie was away a
niile nf days at a lime. That
was exactly wnai uic suue
thought. Judge Slabaugh closed
by charging the jury that sym-
alhy had no place in dealing out
Histice; inai tu'orgc i.juc was
the architect of Ins own char
acter and had no one. to blame
for his posilion. He reminded
the jury that they sat in the jury
box without, bavins? been chal
lenged by the stale, for Hie reason
that the stale believed they were
men of courage, and that they
would do their duly as men, and
that when an array of circum
stances so overwhelming had
ieen shown to them that their
calm, deliberate judgment would
prevail.
Judge Travis then read his in
structions and told I he jury to
retire and select their foreman
and deliberate on the case and
have the foreman sign and date
one of the forms of verdict which
the Judge handed them. The
jury went out about (5 o'clock and
was out until about 9:30, when il
brought in a verdict of guilty as
charged.
The motion for a new t rial for
John Doud, convicted as an ac
complice wilh Lylle and McCann.
was argued by Mr. Brill last
evening at 7:30 and overruled by
the court. The Judge then sen
tenced Doud to an indeterminate
sentence for life, or not, less than
twenty years at hard labor in

From Saturday's Jrnlly.
The trial of i 'ge Lytic,
Charged wilh the robbery of M.
Trilsch's jewelry store al Louis
ville on the night of September
28 or the early morning of I he
2'Jlli, by blowing open his iron
Wife wilh nitroglycerine, or some
! her explosive, was resumed yes
terday iiriernoon. Lylle s alibi
yilnesH, Hen Keagan, was placed
OJi the stand and lestilled that last
fall George Lylle was in very poor
health, in fact, was a sick man,
and unable lo do anything at all
xcepl a few chores about the
Itarn; I hal he was w ith w itness at
Quit lime and attended to his
horses and was barely able to do
Oil's. On cross-examination he
ftfiid that Lylle might have been
HCway a couple of days at a time,
a)id he supposed Lytic was over at
lijs brother's.
Dr. Martin of this city, who at
tended Lylle after he was arrested
tivo months after the robbery, was
(jailed, but on objection of the
tflato was not permitted to testify.
The defendant also called' Tim
Jichlaler, the bartender, who sold
0ree men beer over his bar on
September 2, and who positively
unentitled Doud and Mccann us
tivo of the three, but could not
ffliy whether Lylle was the third
man or not. Defendant also call
(Jl Vogle of South Hend, who
itlenlillcd McCann and Doud, but
(Hd not see Lytic on September
Ti, the day before the Wabash
hank safe was attempted lo he
hlown.
The defendant did not take the
Hi and in his own behalf, and
lioj lly before 3 o'clock in the af
fcrnoon (lie defendant and the
fftate rested and the argument of
Uie state's case was commenced
l)v County Attorney Taylor. Mr
Taylor reviewed the evidence in
ncalm and dispassionate manner
wjlhoul show of oratory. He took
Ilie jury over to Louisville, show
ejl then) the three men loafing
about the elevator all day and
the Tritsch store, the safe wilh
making an extended argument,
dwelling on the evidence of Tim
Schlaler ami impressing on Hie
minds of the jury that Mr.
Schlaler had the best opportunity
lo identify Lylle of any of the wit
nesses, for he was closer lo I tie
three men than any of them. Mr,
Hrill made a good argument for
Ins client, and when he was
through there was nothing left
unsaid which would assist the
mrv in viewing I lie testimony
from Lylle's standpoint. Tin
peaker played on the sympathelii
con null ma oniy inemners 01
the panel were visably alTecled
bul many in the court room as
well. Mr. Hrill pictured liberty
and freedom in all its attractive
ness, weaving into his oratory
touches of nature, and here and
ere a bit of pMclry, and closed
by asking tho jury not to send
Ibis sick man to the place of
deep, dark despair on the kind of
evidence which had been submit
ted to 'them.
Judge Slabaugh, for the state,
followed the attorney for the de
fendant wilh one of the strongest
arguments for conviction which
has ever been produced in this
court, lie began his address by
telling the jury that freedom and
liberty were not license, and the
liberty given under the constitu
tion to every American citizen
was not the sort that permitted
the midnight assassan lo prwol
in the midnight hour and with
terrible explosives destroy prop
erly and maybe life. He doubled
not that had Mr. Trilsch been
about his place of business at the
time the safe was blown he would
never have, been present to testify
in the case.
Judge Slabaugh dwell on the
testimony of the witnesses who
positively identifying Oeorge
Lylle, these being four in num
ber Mr. Ossenkop, Mrs. Haddon,
Mrs. Masters and a young man
driving home his cows. The
speaker paid a tribute to the
bravery and courage of the police

J. M. Gross Recovering.
F. It. CiiiHimann has jul re

formerly a traveling man fre
quently calling on the l'lalls
'tiouth trade, who was recently
set upon and slugged almost to
death at his place of business al
Peoria, III., in which Mr. Gross
slates that he is gelling along
nicely and will probably be out
again in two or three weeks. One
of the men was captured two days
after, and will be taken to the
penitentiary at Joliet to begin an
indeterminate sentence of from
one year to life. Mr. dross wants
to be remembered lo all his
friends in Plattsmouth.

Qssenkop had sold to Lytic, half
used up, lying on tho floor, and
then the watch bearing the
Trilsch number on tho inner
yorks and containing a screw
which Mr. Trilsch had made. The
atch was on fleorgo Lytle's per
son when arrested. Mr. Taylor
closed his argument wilh a strong
plea to the jury lo let their verdict
lie one which would protect the
property of Cass county citizens
from such men as Lytic and his
accomplices.
Attorney Brill next addressed
Uic jury in behalf of the accused, j
Mr. Brill had taken occasion to
criticise. The speaker was glad
that men nail the courage lo go
out in the nighttime and guard
honest men's properly while they
slept and that it required more
courage to do this than Judge
Slabaugh claimed to possess. He
then directed his argument to the
alibi and staled to the jury that
Omaha was tho home of the alibi
alibis could be had there for any
price, for half price, for no price
at all. When a man was tried in
Omaha he had no trouble in gel
