The Francis Murphy touiporanco move
ment hits had a little effect even on these
who have been so engaged and Interested in
the Holuilok murder trial that ono would
naturally suppose they would think of little
olio. A tiny hit of the blue ribbon Is care
fully tied into the buttonhole of Judge Thor-
neil , who presides on the bench. The de
fendant , Kcv. Mr. Holmiolc , also ( lion the
blue ribbon , as do several of the witnesses ,
is well as u number of others who are la
constant attendance on the trial. The jury
men teem to have escaped.
Ycstcrdav forenoon was taken up with the
continued and sharp crons-oxamlnatton of
the dofcndnut. There wa little gained for
the prosecution , na Hov. Mr. Ilelmlelr stuck
pretty snugly to the story already narrated.
Much tune was taken In questioning him as
to what ho had sworn to at the preliminary
examination , and an attempt was inudo to
corkscrew from him statements Inconsist
ent with his previous testimony. On some
cf the minor points this was successful.
On the opening of the afternoon session
the defense ) ogaln offered In evidence the
letter so frequently alluded to , and which
lias caused several arguments and led to nu
merous dcclslqns. Judge riiornoll ruled the
letter out the day before , because the de-
fouso had not made the necessary prelimi
nary proof. Yesterday ho decided that the
defunsn had succendod In making the necoa-
sary proof by the testimony of Holmick , and
allowed the loiter to go to the Jury. The
purpose of till * letter was to show that It.
W. Hcliniok was not actuated by malice but
was simply performingP" " toral duty. Mrs ,
Porter and her daughter Ella , who afterward -
ward became Mrs. Palmer , were members of
his church. In June Mr. Holmlclc received
thl * letter written by Mr. CrUimau , a
brother-in-law of Palmer's. ' Crlssman wan
also a member of the church , In this letter
Cribsman stated that the fact had Juit como
to his knowledge that Ella Porter
was Infatuated with Earl Palme ? .
Ho Informed Mr. Hclmcl ( : that Palmer
was a victim of most debasing vices , was
utterly untruthful , and was a companion of
prostitutes ; that ho deliberately ruined a
girl In Illinois , and it was natural to think
ho would do the same thing again. Ho de
sired Mr. Hclmlck to see Mr. and Mrs.
Porter and to warn thorn. Mr. Crlssman
wrote that ho hud no 111 will against Palmer ,
but deemed It his duty , though a painful
one , to have the girl's parents warned. Ho
requested Mr. Hclmlck not to show this
letter or mention his name uulcss it should
become necessary.
Lou Graver was recalled on some point of
loss Importance , concerning differences in
his testimony at the preliminary examina
tion and on the present trial.
Hlley Clark was then called by tno state ,
tn rebuttal of the testimony of Sullivan. Hlloy
made a bushel of fun. There was little In
his testimony of great Importance , but the
sallies between him and Attorney McCabe ,
who cross-examined him , made much merri
ment. They were largely of a personal
nature.
Mrs. Starbrock was examined as to I the
whereabouts of Jim Hardman the night of
the shooting. She was visiting nt Hardman's
houio that evening * and know ho was at
homo.
Mrs. Hardman was called to testify to the
same point. She was equally positive that
Mr. liar elm nu was at homo on the evening
of the shooting.

Much Interest is being manifested in these
who recently signed the plndgo during the
progress of the Murphy meetings in this
city. Among the numb or was Frank Trim
ble , whoso history Is familiar to- every citi
zen of the Bluffs. In discussing the matter
yesterday afternoon , r > business man re
marked : "I saw Trimble yesterday In front
of the Turf Exchange and a notorious bum
mer had him by the arm trying to got him
inside to take a drink. Frank pulled away
and imsacd on , hut it was a terrible tempta
tion.1 '
Citv Marshal Guanella overheard the con
versation nnd remarked : "I wish I had
hern there and I would have thrown him
Into the hole. "
At this point Judge A.vlcsworth took a
hand. Said ho , "I wish you had. Ho
would have gone to the county jail. If you
llnd anybody trying to got Frank to drink ,
bring him in. It won't bo well for any of
these contemptible wholus to come before
nio on such a charge , or they will go down
for thirty days. It is hard enough for a'
young man to conquer such an appetite
without someone trying to pull him down
again.Vo will have to make common cause
in this matter , and if Trimblo can bo given
any help he shall have it. Arrest the first
man who purposely throws temptations in
his way.

IN T11I2 COURTS.
A. Variety of Cnscs Occupying Ju
dicial Attention.
Tom Lacy is on trial before Judge Clnrk-
son on the charge of having touched a rural
visitor last Thanksgiving day for two
watches and $10 in the coin of the realm.
The complaining witness is Henry Wall-
Imum , who told his atory to the court
through an Interpreter. The tale was dis
jointed and a half dozen detectives were
Drought in to holster up the case by showing
up Lucy's ' previous bad character. Lacy
has been in trouble before , and was no-
qui'tod last term on a similar charge through
the good nature of the jury.
The case of Mrs , Shinu vs Shields & Con
nor seems destined to bo a "hanger" In the
district court. It was commenced several
terms ago. Last term It was tried but the
Jury failed to aitrce. It was placed on trial
before Judge Doano Monday. Yesterday
morning Architect McDonald , who is ono of
the principal witnesses for the prosecution ,
was absent and a capias was issued for him.
The bailiff who went out with the capias re
turned with a physician's certificate setting
forth Mr. McDonald's ' illness. The case was
accordingly continued until next term.
The case of Henry Lehman vs Edholm &
Alken was called before Judge Doano yes
terday afternoon. This is a suit for $87
for wall paper , and has bqon In tbo
courts until the costs equal several times the
amount of the onclnal claim. In reply to the
suit Edholm & Aikon alleged that the goods
worn purchased from Lehman by ono Meier ,
whom they paid for both the material and
the work , and that Lehman should look to
Mulcr for the pay for the material. The
case was tried before Justice \Vudo and a
verdict rendered for Lehman. It was ap
pealed and was tried before Judge Doano
last term. The jury before whom the case
was tried , after having boon out several
hours , returned and asked Judge Doane if
it should make any difference in the verdict
because Mr. Lehman was nut put on the
stand. The question made Judge Doane
very indignant , and after a verdict had been
given for the plaintiff , he granted a now
trial on the ground that the jury was not
competent to try the case. The case Is now
on trial.
Lewis O. Hibbon has commenced suit
against Constable David P. Farqunar and
his bondsmen , John Thomas and Edward J.
Bronnan. Hlloy & Dillon obtained u judg
ment of $300 in the county court against
Hibbon , and the execution' was placed In the
hands of Constable Farquhar , , who lav-led
upon three barrels of whisky and advertised
the same for salo. Hibbon claimed ho was
exempt from the execution and filed an affi
davit to that effect. The constable sold the
whisky and now Ilibben claims damages in
the sura of $350.
The Bemls Oiralin Bag company has ap
plied for nn injunction restraining City
Treasurer Rush from collecting S341.48 , al
leged to bo duo as personal taxes ou the
property of the company. Tno petition
states that tbo assessment was unjust , being
based on the first cost of the personal prop
erty , machinery , etc. , whereas the same had
boon In use over a year and was therefore
depreciated in value.
vVilliam Schwarick has commenced suit
against the Missouri Pacific Railway com
pany for $5,000 damages for injuries received
in the collision which occurred on the Belt
line on January 21.
County
Frederick A. Manger has brought suit
