Ho can go where bo pleases and there Is no person who dare make him afraid by charging him that he committed murder. As has boon stated , Prlco , a colored man , was charged with the murder of a colored woman , Fanny Tale. During the early days of last July the body of the Tate woman was found In an outhouse near Fifth and I'icrco streets. When discovered .it was evident that a murder had been committed , there wore marks upon the corpse that plainly Indicated violence. At the Inquest testimony was adduced that placed Price in a very compromising position. Ho had been seen In the Tote residence dur ing the evening , and at u later hour had been aeon to accompany tlio woman In the direc tion of the shod. Ho was arrcstod and held to answer to the charge of murder in the llrst decree. Tuesday of the present wcok the case was put on trial Before Judge Es- tello , and Wednesday night the state closed the Introduction of its testimony. Yesterday morning the prosecuting attorney stated that with the evidence that ho had ho did not feel like 'asking for a verdict of guilty. Ho said that Prlco was either guilty of murderer or nothing. Ho was not satisfied with the evidence and asked the court to Instruct the Jury to return a verdict of "not guilty. " Mr. Kllor , who was defending , stated that ho could take no exceptions to tbo instructions , and the verdict a : asked was returned. \Vliut the JitdKCH Are Doing.

THAT KNJO1NI5I * CONTUACT. fllnyor Ciislilus Wouldn't Huvc Signed It 3lr. II lykcn'H Position. Most of the residents of Omaha knr that the Central Labor union , through Julius Meyer , chairman of the emergency com mittee , has enjoined the mayor and the other city officers from entering Into a contract with the Ketclmm Furniture company of Toledo , O. , to furnish the now city hall with its furniture. They learned this fact when they read Tim Dm : yesterday. In speaking of the { .Injunction yester day , Mayor Cushlng said that he regarded the Injunction as a useless waste of wind. If it had not boon Issued ho could not have signed the contract , as it was very evident that there were no funds available to pay for the furniture. The only way the council could have justillci1 the letting of tlio contract would have been to have taken the money out of the city hall fund ami discon tinued work upon tno building. This the mayor said would nave been nn unwlso move. The contract , ho thought , could not have been entered into until after the bonds that were voted at the lust election had been sold. "Of course , " ho continued , "wo could have executed the contract nnd anticipated the sale of bonds , but that 1 would not have done , as there is no assurance that the bonds can bo sold. Isuppososomeof thot.coi > lo were afraid , but the alarm was uncalled for , as the contract would have gene to the next mayor and council for approval. " Mr. Ilaykon Will Fijlit. Mr. Haykon , resident agent for the Kotchain company , was found in his office in the act of mailing a copy of Tin : Bui : to the home nouso at Toledo , O. Ho stopped in the midst of his labors to remark that there was no use of trying to build a fence around Omaha. "Will you light the in junction J" Was asked. "Most certainly , " ho replied , "wo cannot afford to lie down. Wo do not care for the money that there Is in the contract , but wo have got to go into the light to sustain the reputation of tbo house , if for no other reason. " Mr. Haykon-did not know what course his people would pursue. He had telegraphed and written for instructions and could fur nish no information until he received u reply from his oeople. ' But I want to tell you , " ho continued , "that wo have received very shabby treat ment right hero in Omaha. Wo have been fought from start to llnish , but notwithstand ing all of that wo propose to remain. We have built up a good business hero and now wo propose to protect it. Almost every day we are takliur orders from outside towns anil instead of bonding to Detroit to secure men to put up the work wo uro employing Omaha workmen. "I regard this cry of homo industry rather far fetched. Hight now wo have a largo con- tntct in Ogden , Utah , another at Woodbine , la. , with others scattered through the west and in every instance Omaha workmen are sent on to take care of the jobs.
