inary Trial
A Weak Dotonso
Tbo case ot the Stnto ol Kobraska vs Paul
Vnndervoort , charged with publishing n
criminal libel on Edward Rosewater , editor
of The Unit , was celled before Judge
Holslcy In the pollco court nt S o'clocit
yesterday altornoon Outsulo the court
railing a motley crowd of Interested cltlzous
held down benches Among thom wcro
local politicians , policemen In undress , sn-
loou men nnd plain ordinary citizens who
wanted to hoar the ovtdcnco lit tha colobrnted
case
Insldo tbo railing it looked llko a mooting
of the Omaha Press club Newspaper mon
were o very where Fred Nye nnd Jim Craw
ford blow In BOmowhat Into , and joined tbo
throng who sat lu iho prisoners ' dock
Paul Vnndorvoort , Wilcox and their friends
occupied ono corner of the loom nnd Mr ,
Rosewater and his friends the ether
The oponlng of the trial was somowhut do-
'
la yod by the absence of Mr Halt , the at
torney for the defense Whoa ho appeared
ho throw oft his ulster and sealskin cap and
prepared for battle , and the case com
menced
Before this , however , court ofllcors hus
tled to and fro gottlne the wltnosscs to
gether , and Mr V. dor V. , Mr Wilcox tind
their friends buttonholed each ether and
held hurried consultations On the bleach
ing boards so to speak sat Mr Yost ,
James Crclghton , Mr V. dor V. , Dan Shol-
ov , Charlie Goodrich and a host of inter
ested citizens , some of whom were witnesses
in the case The other seats wcro occupied
by attorneys of varied ability , who wcro In
terested In the case and who took notes ot
the proceedings
As the testimony was glvon and the case
proceeded the lack of evidence on the part
of the defense becatno evident , and the
crowd became Interested Dick Hall , the
attorney for the defense , proved hlmsolf the
Icing ot kickers Ho objected to every
question asked by tlio state , and
tailed to cross-question a single witness
When the stnto rested and the time came for
the dotonso to introduce their wituossos , not
a witness nppoared ; they had no ovldenee to
Introduce in defense of their libel , and the
crowd who had bcon oxoectlng a bomb shell
from them wcro not only disappointed , but
disgusted They had expected some rare
and racy testimony from the defense , but It
laid down and produced nothing but ob
jections Hall wus in contempt of court
sovorul times by n-ason of his insolent re
marks , butowingto Judge Holsloy's leniency
the matter was overlooked When the case
was llmshod Mr Hall declined to muko an
nrgument nnd closed the case , saying that bo
would submit a brief on the day following
This was finally agreed to und the State vs
Wilcox came up
Vnmlervoort's Trial
A largo part ot the afternoon was con
sumed with cross-firing between the attor
neys , which in nearly every instance was
brought about by counsel for defendant
seeking to suppress the testimony of wit
nesses and engaging in long winded quib
bling , to which the court very frequently
could see no point whatever
The case of the State vs Vnndervoort was
called llrst Mr E. Kosowntcr was the first
witness , ' Ho testified to having known Vnn
dorvoort for ubout fourteen years , nnd to
knowing of the Republican , as a paper of
general circulation , since 18U3. Ho had
read In a copy of that paper bearing date of
January 4 , lbOO , tbo article rotorriug to hlm
self Ho believed that the same Vaudor-
voort whoso slgnaturo appeared nt tbo bottom
tom of that article was the defendant then
before tbo court ,
The article was thou road , after which
counsel for the defendant waived his right
to cross-oxammo Rosewater
William G. Richardson was the next wit
ness called He wus a newspaper man , nnd
said that ho had known Vnndorvoort per
sonally but a short , time , though had Known
him by sight for three years January 4 ,
last , ho saw Vaudorvoort in his office in the
federal building Witness Introduced him
self us a representative of the Associated
press , which was the same as saying thai he
was employed on the staff of" The Hue
After witness had talked to Vundervoort a
white W. 3. Uroatch came in and told
Vundervoort that a warrant had been
issued for his ( Vandeivoort's ' ) arrest
Vondervoort tbon put on his overcoat to go
out aud Richardson said to him , "I under
stand tbero is a report on the street that you
did not write that article on Mr Roscwutcr
In the Republican " To this witness said
that Vandervoort replied : Stuff andnon-
sensol Of course I wrotoit ; wrote it my-
self "
Fred Nye was tbo third witness Mr Nye
said bo was a newspaper man , but was not
in the newspaper business now His last
newspaper connection wus with the World
Herald IIo had been connontod with the
Republican until September last ; hud seen
tbo article by Vandorvoort concerning Mr
Kosowntcr that was publlshod in the Repub
lican Ho wus unable to stntn
whether ho over , wbilo counected
with thu Republican , had bandied manuscript
which caBt'rellections on Mr Rosowatcr ;
that is , bo could not , ho explained , specify
words or soiitcncos , yet ho hud an Indistinct
recollection of declining to publish un article
submitted by Vundervoort , and which rc-
fleeted on Mr Rosewater
J. C. Wilcox was the next witness cnllod
Whim asked bv the states attorney whotlior
ho had been shown the article in quostlou ,
before its publication , Hall , who Is counsel
for both Vnudervooit und Wilcox , shouted
forth a vehement protest ngainst Wilcox
answering the question , saying : Now , see
here , Wlfcoxl WHeoxl Look out for your
self sharp bo awful careful " Then Mr
Mabopoy , In his calm , forcible manner , rnd
with a smile upon his face , arose uud
proceeded to remark that although it
wus noiio of his business , ' ho snw
no occasion for counsel for defense scaring
his client out of his boots , us it iva very
necessary for tbo interest ot that Bntno cllon t
that ho kept in as calm und clear headed a
condition as possible
"That's oil right , sir : that's all right , "
Hall snapped back , but I puoss I know my
business "
You never needed to know It any better ,
I guess , than just now , " quietly and smil
ingly replied Mr Mnhonoy
Scarcely had tbo stuto's nttornoy got the
last words out of his mouth when Wilcox ,
his great face now thu tint of u blood ruro
out of roust beef , and his itreat body squirm
ing nnd wincing under the shook of Halls
oxploslvo wordb , remurued :
Well , I should say "
Plague | t all , dent say a word ! " shut off
Hall again , and added : Dent you Bpoak
again Why , what are you trying to do !
Heat your own casol"
Wilcox dashed away sovorul big beads of
perspiration which hud welled forth ou uo-
count of this second break of Halls , and
giving ono side of his chair u pound , und
looking straight into Halls eyes , ho ox-
claimed :
"Seehorol All I was going lo say was
that I " , , ,
Hull was on his foot again bko a panlnor ,
his pnlo bushy hair stuuulng on end , and In
a tone thut was a sort of u hissing roar ho
yelled :
See here , Wilcoxl I'm going to positively
decline to act as your couiiboI or to uvir ? do
another thing for you in the way of helping
you out of thisscrapolf you dent shut up
und obey my order * to you , and obey I hem
Implicitly Hoar what I say now : Keopstlil
untlll tellyoutoii uakl"
Tbo court , the Uwyora , spectators and
everybody present Bmtlcd , aud finally sev-
oral laughed outright
Aud poor Wilcoxl Ho looked exactly as It
he would cladly give all that hu pobsessod to
jump upou Hall aud pound him into the by-
and-by. Madl IIo was raging mnd , If nu-
1
ponranccs 1i go for anything , but ho hold his
peace i until Judge Holsloy , bonding over his
desk i , askedt
"Wcro you gottiR to answer Hint question ! "
Why , liloss you , no course not , " replied
Wlleox "I'vo got some , sense burnt n fool ,
qultol" ,
What were you going to say , then I" said
Hall , glaring nt tils client
. Simply going to usk to see tlio copy of the
Republican containing tbo article In ques
tion ! "
Then everybody laughed again , and Hall
looked 1 silly
Wilcox wns shown the paper Whlto ho
was cugagod reading tbo article , ovlduntly
with great cagorness nnd care , Hall rosumoil
tnlk ' on his protest ngainst witness tolling
the court whether bo had seen tno nrtlclo
before I Its going into print Tu the almost
utter collanso of Hall , the court finally ruled
that \ Wllcot should nnswur the question
Wilcox's nnswor was that ho did not think
the ! nrtlclo was shown to him pr'or ' to its
publication In reply to moro questioning
from the stnto's nttornoy ho admitted hav
ing j had froqueut conversations with Vnn
dorvoort , , both bcloro and after the publica
tion of the nrtlclo
i With thlfl the stnto announced that it
tested J Hull asked for time to make nrgu-
ments nml cite soma authorities , Mnhonoy
saw , nothing to tnako any urgumonts on
Then ' the court told Hall ho could submit
arguments nnd authorities , providing ho
j gave the Btato's attorney a copy of thom
This ho agreed to do , nnd the Vnndervoort
case closed without the defense doing a part
icle of cross-examining , so far us the witness
Wilcox was concorncd
The case of the State ngainst Wilcox on
the snino charge , criminal libel , was Imme
diately taken up , und City Comptroller
Goodrich was thu llntt witness called Ho
had known dnloiidaut for several years and
the Republican tor twouty-sovon or twenty
ulght jonrs , A bid from the Republican for
the city printing was received January 4 ,
lb90. but who brought It there witness wui
uuublo to state Tlio bid was now probably
in tno hands of tha city clerk
Frank H. Johnson being cillod , suld thnt
he wns a baukor nnd up to three months ngo
was part owner In the Rupublioui Thu wit
ness bcing.uskcdto whom ho sold the paper ,
caused Attorney Hall to Hash and roar out
agulu with a burst of objections for nbotit
the fiftieth tlmo Ho kept up his unswor-
ovnding fight In n manner t nntag.iin seemed
plainly to uvlnco to all proscnt thnt ho wus
thoroughly convinced of the utter hopeless
uosb of any effort which could possibly bo
made to clear hU clients , Vandorvoort and
Wlleox , from the strikingly clear case of
malicious notion to which they had com
mitted thomsclvos Finally the quostlou
was modified and Mr Johnson was asked
whether tbo transaction the nalo of the
paper was effected throuph the giving of
billsofsale Witness answered yes TlierfMr
Mnhonoy nskad to whom the bills of sale
were dolivoreu , and witness replied , "To

continued Mr Muhouoy
"Yob , " replied Mr Johnson , "Ho wns
then nctiug ns attorney for Wilcox "
"Ho , hoi exclaimed Mr Mahonov That
seems to show , about as conclusively us any
body could desire , just who bought the Re
publican 1"
And the nods and laughs that wcro indulged
in by all present wus by no uiouns a mean
ingless expression , ns Indicating what some
two hundred disinterested parties thought of
the situation
Hut here was tbo clincher : .

The next witness called wasC C. Crossoy
Ho had been a newspaper mau In Omaha lor

EGYPTIAN MUMMIES
How They Wore Embalmed About
tbo Soul nnd IJody
The writings of Moses buvo thrown a
churnotor of tlio deepest interest ever
the translations ot the ancient Egyp
tians , uud rendered them fnmiiiur to
every inhabitant of Cliristoudom , says
tbo Now York Ledger
The inhabitants of ancient Egypt ap
pear , by their pyramids , temples , sar
cophagi , and embalming of bodies , to
have boon solicitous to endure for
ever " In nil of tliosei they have been
oiuliiunt ; in the luttor they ullniiieil uu
excellence which litis never boon
equaled Embalming was hold in hl h
ostiination It was believed that the
soul romaiiiod with the body while it
retained sullluiout soundness to preserve
the divine Cbsonse' , and to give boletn-
nity to the ceremony of embalming the
doiid it was conlldod to the priesthood
The system they adopted was repluto
with skill ami judgment ; tlio bruin was
oxtnioted with instruments through the
nostrils , an incision was mode , the con
tents ol the abdomen were ruiuovod , the
oavlly washed with palm wiuo and
lllled with a rosinoussiibstunco mingled
with myrrh , eassia nnd tlio odoriferous
spiects ; the body was then sown up und
eovorod with nitre for ninety days ; it
was then bandaged The bandages
were of a mixed quality , being line oiit-
side uud coarse within und about live
inches wide ; they were saturated with
gums The body was tbon swathed
from head to feet , In which 1200 yards of
bandugo were employed ; and , when
completed , the most conspicuous parts
wore written upon in hoiroglyphica ,
stating the titles und dignities of
the docoiHoil Somotlmos u beetle ,
which implied regeneration , and an
idol , a symbol of faith , were placed on
the body It was thou put into ueiibo
composed of nhtstor , in which u species
of cotton was incorporated , forming a
covering that preserved some rosouib-
Ianco to tbo form within ; or it wus
placed in a case o ( wood , tliiultly cov
ered with composition , on which were
painted hoiroglyiihlcal figures and
characters in extraordinary richness , of
embellishment Tills was afterwards
laid in a giauito sarcophagus , the inner
nnd outer surfaces of which were often
eoyorod with hoiroglypbics , and then
ull deposited iu a toinplu or an appro
priate chamber , with tlio Html ceremo
nies of sepulture ,
A people who could thus indulge tlio
doalro for durability scorn never to buvo
contoniplated the el i an go to wliiuli all
earthly things are liable iu tlio awful
passngo to futurity They never thought
that tliolr stupendous temples would bo

The waudoring tribes of Arabs toro
