HO , FOR COURTLY BEA.GH -SATURDAY , JUNE 17TH. GRAND OPENING. JA ! MORPHEUS IN THE 'JURY BOX Evidence Had No Charms for a Juror Who Went to Sleep , FINDING VERDICTS WITHOUT EVIDENCE I , so Soott Sots * Vordlot Asldo and Give * Ills Ilongons Ed Morearty DU- cliarccil In the Criminal Court Trouble Over Oil Land Claim * . The twelve men tn Judge Scott's court , Who listened to the law and the evidence in tno case of the Phenlx Publishing company against Kd E. Powell , ft suit brought to re cover on n bill that was duo and unpaid , learned several things yesterday. The case wont to the Jury and yesterday when tlio men came Into court , it was to announce through their foreman that they had found for the defendant. Pit was the finding tnitu Induced the court to deliver a lecture. Ho said that during the trial it was observed that the defendant Introduced no testi mony In dispute of the claim , which fact alone would bar the Jury from returning the Tordlct. Not only that , but ono of the Jurors wont to sleep In the Jury box and twice had to bo waited up by the bailiff , which made It apparent that ono man at least did not hoar all of the evidence. "So lone as I remain upon the bench , " continued Judge Scott , "I will not sumblt to a Jury re turning n verdict that Is absolutely contrary to the law and the evidence * . This verdict Is not sustained by any law , nor by any of the evidence adduced , and therefore I will sot it side , doing EO upon my own motion , " Trouble Over uu Oil Clnlm. Judge Eller Is devoting his time and atten tion In trying to unravel the difllcultlcs that exist between James Ii. Iiovott and \V. W. Lowe , the plaintiffs , and Michael Duffy , the defendant. The plaintiffs are suing to recover the sum of fSOO , while the defendant In his cross bill asks for a Judgment of 11,000 , oven inonoy. All of the trouble prows out of some old claims located tn Wyoming , and It is alleged in the petition thuMlio plaintiffs wcro the owners of 150 euch claims at the thno when they hired the defendant to go out into the wilder ness and develop the properties. His work , eo they nllcKO , was to dig a hole i feet wide , 0 feet long and 10 feet deep on each claim. This digging he did not per form and for this reason they claim that they were damaged In the sum of ? < JOO and that the baluncu of the debt is for goods wlilch were furnished , lluffv nvors that ho was misled by bnlng told that the oil claims wcro close to town , when In fact they were forty miles from any lottlcmont and far away in tlio mountains. In reaching them ho nearly killed his horses Slid exposed himself to sundry and divers dangers , passing through a country where kt nil times ho was In mortal fear of being Icalpod by hostile Indians. Dismissed tlio Kotrlium Hoodie due. Ed P. Morcarty , the ox-city councilman , Is out of the woods , so far as the prosecution ol the charge that ho looked upon the booJlo of the Kctchutn Furnlturo company Is con ccrnod , as tlio county attorney bus entered c nollo in the case and it has boon stricken from the docket of the criminal division ol the district court. A couple of yeftvs ago when the numerous furniture companies wcro bidding on th < furniture for the city hall there wore ugly stories afloat , to the effect that Morcarty , who was then a member of tin city council , had takpn some of the inono.\ of the Ketchum company , promising Influ cnco when the matter got into open council Thcso stories became putillo property am tlmt the truth might bo continued , or tha they might bo branucd as malicious lies , UK ] uuges of. the district court called a gram jury to Investigate. The result wus that at Indictment wus returned , subsequently t bo followed by a trial avd a verdict of ac quittal. There were other indictments growing out of the same charges , but they have remained upon the criminal docuet without being called for trial. Monitor ! j > ! irs for Time. That something Is about to "drap" In the Moshor case w'as made pretty plain yester day afternoon by the presence about the federal courtof several of the bank wrecker's friends and ono of the attorneys for the re ceiver of the Capital National bank. Mr. Moshor was about the marshal's office nearly all day and was In consultation with Mr. Charles Magoon and Mr. Harvey , who is looking after the Capital National busi ness for the receiver. "There are numerous matters. " Mosher explained to THE BEC reporter , "that I can straighten out for the stockholders of the bank If I am only given time nnd an oppor tunity to do It , but if I am hustled off to Sioux Fulls for five years they will have to fight the thing out as best they can. I am ready at any time to tuko whatever the court sees fit to i > lvo me. but it would bo an accommodation to the other men in the hole If I wcro allowed a short time ia which to help them get the affairs in better shape. " Bill Dorgan was about with his friend most of the day and when not talking with Mosher ho was In consultation with the marshal or the district attorney. Dorpan appears to bo determined to stay by Mosher until ho sees the doors of the penitentiary close behind dim. It has been suggested that Dorgan really felt fearful that Mosher might break down at the last minute. Moshcr's attorney , Mr. Whedon , is now engaged In a law suit that ho says ho cannot leave. Had It nDt been for this engagement it Is uioro than probable that Mosher would have been arraigned today. Judge Dundy says that ho will hear no moro Jury cases until ho knows positively what Is going to bo done with the Mosher case. The jury funds nro almost exhausted and all that now remains of the fund will bo needed for that ono case if Mosher should decide to fight it. If ho pleads guilty , os seems to bo the most probable course , the service" of a Jury will not bo needed more than a couple of hours In the caso. Should Mr , Mosher bo sentenced to a term In the penitentiary it Is whispered that ho will not go to the penitentiary at Lincoln , as many Imvo been lead to suppose. It is said that ho will bo taken to the United States prison at Sioux Fulls , S. D. Other Court Cuscj. M. J. Minor was before Judge Koysor yesterday and was sent down to the Dorgan cell house at Lincoln , there to remain during the period of thrcoyoirs. Minor Is the man who went through the Union hotel and stele a suit of clothes , nnd whiln on nls way out of the building held up u man , relieving him of a gold watch and chain. Aloxnnuer Taylor , a colored man charged with having shot with Intent to kill , was lined $100 , the costs , and sentenced to a term of three months In the county jail. Taylor escaped a prison sentence by the Jury having returned a verdict of assault and battery , The following cases wcro nolllcd by the county attorney : The state against James Cnrtin , obtaining inonoy under false pre tenses ; Charles F , Ix > gan and George Petty , renting looms for gambling purposes ; L. Thornton and Horace Bennett , unlawfully taking nnd using a horse , and Louis Hauscn , perjury. The heirs of the late James Trail , who died at his residence , Nineteenth nnd Lake streets , have tiled a petition in the probate court asking that'tho widow , JauoS. Trail , bo appointed oxccutrix , The estate consists of real cstato valued at fti.tXK ) and personal property of the value of ? 1,000. Curl \Vood\\orth has secured a temporary injunction , restraining the city treasurer from collecting * the tax to pay the cost of paving the alloy from Twenty-second to Twenty-third and between Lake nnd Ohio sticots. The case will bo called for n hear ing ini Judge \ \ niton's court next Monday morning. Mr. Wood worth's t'llovanco arises from the fact that the alloy was paved with red Colorado sandstone , when the white Colorado was the material designated In the petition of the proiKsrty owners. The case of the Helm Sash and Door com pany against several insurance companies , which has been dragging its weary length through tha federal court for live or sb days , was terminated today when the Jury brought In a verdict for tlio plaintiff.
