Chief Qnlllgan of the lire department was
the flriit witness called hy the defense nt the
continuation of the hearing of the Ilennott-
afternoon.
Uosowatcr libel case yesterday
Ills testimony related to the calling out of
of Novcm-
the flro department on the night
the prisoners
bT 9 , 1S92 , to quell n riot among
oners In the county Jail. Ho said that ho
was at home when the alarm was turned In
nhotlt 3.20 o'clock , followed by the Informa
tion that there was a riot nt the Jail. When
the witness got there ho found the prisoners
In full control of the Jail , and they were
miiashlnK out the windows with a long rod
that had been torn from a bench In the cor
ridor. They would not nllow anybody to get
near them. The witness ordered two streams
of water turned on the prisoners , but they
hung up their canvan bunks In the doors ,
nnd It was not until n third stream was
turned on that they capitulated. They had
mnashed out all the windows on the south
side of the west wing. They finally said
that they would nllow the witness to
como In , but would not allow any
of the Jail ofllcials to enter the cage room.
Tlio trouble was In the upper tier of cells ,
and there were at least ten and possibly
fifteen of the rebels , When the witness had
begun to bring them to terms he called the
Jailer nnd went Into the cell room. 'Ihe
prisoners were In the corridor In front ot
the cells , and they wcro finally Induced to
enter the cells nnd submit to being locked
up. It tool : nearly half nn hour to bring
them out. They said that they had been
shamefully abused nnd would not stand It
any longer. The jailer was roasted to n
turn , nnd the prisoners claimed that there
would not have been any trouble had they
been properly treated. The witness said
that the Jail was the dirtiest place ho was
ever In. When the water was turned Into
the corridor nnd cells n mass of bones ,
bread and refuse was washed out Into the
outer portion of the cage room.
WAS A DIRTY I'LACK.
On cross-oxnmlnntlou the witness testified
that when ho first got to the Jail It was Im
possible to get Into the part ot the Jail
where the prisoners were , ns they stood
guard with the rod with which they hud
smashed the windows and prodded any ono
who sought to pass Into the room or to go
upon the gallery surrounding the upper Her
of colls. The malcontents seemed to bo
more bitter toward.Deputy Jailer Kngstcdt
than any one else. There were nt least four
or five big scoop shovels full of refuse and
filth washed out of the cello. The other
portion of the Jail seemed to bo all right.
The men said that they had not been get
ting enough to eat nnd that they wcro not
treated right by .tho Jailers. -
T. 1C. Sudborough was the next witness ,
llo testified that he was In Chicago twice
during the latter part of July , 1893. and that
on ono of these occasions , when enrouto
home , Sloaher got on the train nt Galesburg ,
nnd the witness rode in the bame seat with
him for some time. Ho had known Moshcr
for threoT'cars. On cross-examination the
witness said ho could not give the dates of
hla trips to Chicago , but thought they were
two Saturdays about the last of the month.
Ho was there earlier In the month , nnd could
not say on which trip ho saw Mosher. Ho
left Omaha on the first trip about the 8th
of July. The meeting with Moshcr was not
on that day or while going to Chicago on
any other trip , but was while coming west ,
homeward bound.
John T. Llnd , ex-deputy Jailer , was called ,
but said that ho had never seen anything
out of the way nt the Jail. The state at
tempted to show by the witness that over
tures had been made to him by the dcfen&o
to get him to testify , but the defense ob
jected , claiming that ns the witness had
testified to nothing Injurious to the cause of
the state , the state had no right to use him
for the purpose ot Impeaching the testimony
ot the witness Smith , but should call him
later ns Its own witness for that purpose.
If the attorney for the state would say that
It was for the purpose of Impeaching the ,
testimony of this witness no objection would
bo made , but otherwise objection would bo
made to such cross-examination. Tlio state's
attorney would not say that this was his In
tention , and the court said ho would take
the matter under advisement.
PAGE GIRL'S CASE.
Police Matron Cummlngs was the next
witness. Her testimony related solely to
the abortion case In the county jail. She
testified that Lllas Page \vas arrested and
brought to the city- Jail Juno 29 , 1892. That
was the first time that the witness over saw
the girl. She remained nt the jail In charge
of the matron for two or three days , nnd
was then taken to the county jail to beheld
hold ns a witness against Mag Green , who
was charged with procuring. The next
tlmo that the witness saw the girl was when
tdio appeared In the district court as a
witness against the Green woman , somewhere -
where between thirty nnd sixty days after
her airost. The witness mot the girl's
stepmother about the tlmo of the arrest
nnd several times subsequent to that. She
had n conversation with the girl when first
arrested regarding the girl's pregnancy , and
later with the girl's mother on the same
subject. Slio liad another Conversation
with the mother still later regarding the
abortion , nnd had repeated nil the Informa
tion she had received In the case to Messrs.
Hunt , Shannon and Click , all of whom
voro reporters on The Hea. The witness
testified that the girl was a whlto girl , and
when asked ns to the conversations that
took place , said :
"I had several talks with her nnd during
ono ot them I asked her If she was not
pregnant. She replied that she was quite
mire that she was , and that she thought
that It dated back for two months. I asked
her who was the caube of It and she Bald
that Jesse Newman , a colored man , was her
Beducor nnd was responsible for her trouble ,
1 think that was about the extent of the
conversation I had with her bearing on this
case. I had n talk with -her mother shortly
after that and she told mo that she thought
tha girl was pregnant. About two or three
days after the trial In tlio district court
Mrs , Page came to see mo again and wanted
mo to have l.lliiH arrested. She said the
Klrl'u Mtlicrvas away nnd IJIas was at
homo with her alone nnd was Hick. She
Bald that either an abortion had been por-
furmcd on the girl or the girl was trying to
c.-uiso ono , and that she was afraid thnt
Lillas would dlo on her hands nnd that t > ho
would got Into trouble over It. I asked
why she did not make the girl toll her what
liad been done or what oho was trying to do ,
nnd Mrs. Page said that the girl wan
nccretlvo and would not tell about It , I
then asked her why Bho did not tell the girl
that she was endangering her life. She
Bald she had told her so , but that Ltlas had
replied that there was no danger In It for
Mrs. Dennett had told her so , and that It
wax what Mrs , Bennett had often done hcr-
elf. "
WHAT THE G1TU , TOLD HKR.
On cross-examination the witness testified
that Bho had talked a great deal with Lllas
about the Klrl'u former llfo , and that the
girl had said that Mrs. Page was her step
mother , and her grandmother had raised her.
The girl also Raid that she lirul been at Mag
Orevn's place to visit on several occanlons ,
but that she had never stayed there and had
never been nn Inmatn ot a house of prosti
tution , The witness was certain that the girl
did not have any 'modlolnos or Instruments
when she was at the city jail before golnt ;
lo the county jail. Her mother came to sea
her when she was first arrested , and cam
every day whllo the girl was there , t'tid ole
aflcr she had bscn rcnnvoJ to the county
jail The wltnuss said the girl told her that
Newman and tub other men had hud Inter
course with her , nnd that U was fvo ninths
bltiue Bho had reason to hillovo ' .hut she was
prcgnint. Mrs. Page told the \vltnc3i t&t ) .
the girl had told her tl-nt Mrs llonuott had
fettld that she had don tills same thing eev-
erul times to got out of an unpleasant pre
dicament , and U hadn't hurt her nnd
( vouldn't hurt tlio BlrL tiui mother sail
that further than this the p/rl / would not say
what It was that had been done to cause nn
abortion.
Nellie I'arr was called. She testified that
Iho was sent to the county Jail September 1 ,
1SD3 , and remained there until October 17.
She knew Theodora Dennett nnd Moshor.
She had talked with Moshcr several times.
While In jail she was confined In the
women's department In the basement. She
raid that liquor was drank there on numer
ous occasions. The witness said she got
whisky from Moshcr novcral times. He
would send It down to lifer by n colored
trusty named Alexander Taylor. While she
was there two of the "lady prisoners" were
taken out one night for several hours , nnd
when they returned they said they had been
out with Theodore. Dennett and Moshcr.
The witness said she saw Moshcr two or
three times a week. Sometimes when she
went up stairs she pnw him leave the Jail
with Theodora Dennett. Sometimes she
talked with him In the jail ofllcc. On these
occasions there was no one else present , and
nlio would remain with him In the jail olllco
for about half an hour.
On cross-examination the witness s.itd she
was In Jail for larceny , nnd her name while
there was Alice Scales. When the colored
boy brought whiskey down stairs to her ho
poured It through the keyhole nnd that was
the way she got It. She frequently received
notca from Moshcr. She had never sent for
liquor or asked Moshcr to send It , but ho
had sent It just the same. Other prisoners
had nlso received liquor , nnd she had gotten
liquor from another pilsoncr hcslden Moshcr.
B. C. Hunt , n reporter for the Dee , was
called to testify to hearing the story of tlin
abortion from the pollco matron. The state's
attorney x.ild the state would admit that this
was EO , nnd that the witness had heard the
story as detailed by Mrs. Cumnilngs und had
related it to the defendant prior to the pub
lication ot the-'letter. The witness testified
thnt he had been admitted to the county
jail by Moshcr , who had alHo unlocked the
door to let him out on two occasions. On
one occasion Mealier seemed to have full
charge of the Jail , ns none of the jailers
or deputies wore about the office or In any
of the adjacent corridors. Mosher had access
to the key case , which was unlocked , and
while the witness was there Mosher had un
locked the doors to nllow another prisoner
to pass from tliu icaldenco portion of the
Jail Into tlift corridor and thcnco Into ono
of the cell rooms. During the ten minutes
that the witness remained In the jail Moshcr
continued In sole charge.
VISITS TO SOUTH OMAHA.
0. D. Hill was the last witness called. Ho
testified that he was a saloon keeper In
South Omaha , nnd on three nights In last
September saw Theodore Dennett at his
place , accompanied by a man weighing about
1G5 or 170 pounds. The man was short ,
quite good looking and dark complcxloncd.
He had no beard .though ho mlxht have had
a short mustache , but the witness thought
not. Ho wore a light plug hat , whlto vest
with dark flowered pattern nnd light pants.
He also spoiled a diamond ring nnd diamond
stud. The witness spoke about the visitors
to Peter Drodegard , a Jeweler , and to Peter
Miller , of ithe firm of Miller Droi. , who run
the restaurant nt Sixteenth nnd Howard
streets In this city. On cross-examination ,
the witness Eald ho'fixed the lime as between
the loth and liOtli of September , because ho
knew that one visit was the night before his
bartender left for the World's fair , which
was September 20 , nnd another visit wus the
night before that. Ho had seen Theodore
Dennett several times since that , and ho
Identified the ox-Jailer , who was In the court
room , as the party ho had seen at his place
with the small man above referred to. lie
was positive that ho would know the other
man If he was to see him again. The witness
talked with both of the men , but ho was not
Introduced to either of them. Ho called
Brodegard's attention to them Just after
they left the place , as Urodegard had seen
them while they were there. HP spoke to
Miller about them on ithe evening of the
second visit. Miller came Just ns the vis
itors were going out to take the car for
Omaha.
The case was continued until 2 o'clock
this afternoon , at which time the defense
stated .that It would have the last of Its
witnesses on hand or would rest Its case.

the loss was adjusted. Now , hero comes the
point. The management of the Globe , fore
seeing n tremendous rush , decided to pack

MADE NEAIILY A CLEAN SWEEP.
Hulldliig Iimpi'dor Changes the Force
in th onirc.
Building Inspector Dcvcrell assumed the
reins of office yesterday , and J. R , Tilly
stepped down and out. Clerk Carter will
remain In the office , nt least until the now
Inspector familiarizes himself with the rou
tine work.
Until the council confirmed the appoint
ment and approved the bond of Mr. Deverell
on Tuesday evening' , Mr. Tilly cherjshed the
fond liope that he would himself secure a reappointment -
appointment after the mayor had unsuccess
fully sent In the names of several other as
pirants , or that he would hold over by virtue
61 the failure of the council nnd the mayor
to agree. It was because of tills that dur
ing his last month In office he was kept busy
figuring how > to carry out the order of the
council to discharge ono of the Inspectors
specters In that department without
removing the man from office. The
resolution was passed January 10 ,
and was at once approved by the mayor ,
the order reaching the Inspector the same
week that It was passed. On tho. following
Monday he put * two Inspectors , Scdgwlck
and Heynolds , on half time , and It so con
tinued until the end of the month. During
February , Reynolds was kept on the entire
month. Sedgwlck did not work until the
Sth of the month , when Tilly left for Bos
ton to attend the annual convention of the
national association of building Inspectors ,
but before going he put Sedgwlck nt work
again and he remained on duty till the end
of the month.
When the payroll was sent to the comp
troller with the names of both the Inspec
tors on It , that official returned it on the
ground that ho had no authority to recog
nize an Incumbent of a place that had been
vacated by the council , and he also reported
It at Tuesday ovonlng's meeting of the coun
cil. At the tlmo the resolution was passed ,
Mr. Tilly thought It unjust to force him to
discharge a man Just at the time when his
own term was expiring nnd when ho was
lying awake nights figuring on how to
secure a reappolntment. lie deemed It
very bad table at that critical
period to Invllo him lo make an enemy of
tlio man lo be discharged , and concluded lo
dodge the order by discharging a half of
each man. rather than the whole of cither
of them. Wednesday , however , ho concluded
that It was proper for the order to he car
ried out , and he Incontinently fired Mr.
Scdgwlck out In the mud.
There Is so little building going on now
that there Is scarcely any work for the Inspectors
specters to perform , and Reynolds has been
kept in the olllco half of the time to keep
the clerk from gelling lonesome.
Sedgwlck evidently concluded that the net
of Tilly discharging him just on the eve of
the change in the olllco did not necessarily
hold good , and ho showed up at the odlc'o
yesterday. Mr. Deveiell was on deck ,
nnd Scdgwlck experienced the sensation ot
gelling .fired from tlio same ofllco twice In
twenty-four hours. Reynolds was also dls
charged by the new Inspector , who then
appointed Thomas Lund to the position llnii
vacated. The olllco will bo run for the pros ,
ont with only ono Inspector , as contemplated
by the resolution passed by the council
over n month ago/

Clty-Dcmcr Train.
The tramconllnontnl lines flung their cut
rate banners to the brcczo yesterday ,
and the sale of California tickets was reported -
ported as brisk , notwithstanding the general
Impression that rates will go lower than
nt present promulgated. The Missouri l\i.
clflo failed to bulletin the cut rate lo San
Francisco early yesterday , for the reason
that General Passenger Agent Townscnd
had not given Instructions to sell direct to
San Francisco , but Issued an order to sell
to Los Angeles. Deforo 11 o'clock , however ,
a supplementary telegram was received
from the head of the passenger department
announcing that the local ofllco could sell
tickets by elllier roule ,
The Southern Pacific , now that the flght
Is on. drove the first nail Into Iho Sanla
Fo's coflln by nnnounclng lo connecting
lines that the Southern Pacific would allow
stop overs on all round Irlp tickets leading
via Los Angeles or San Francisco , within
the borders of California. This movement ,
which wnn somewhat unexpected , Is designed
to give tourists nn opportunity lo attend the
Midwinter fair , or going to Snn Francisco
direct , make n Irlp to Los Angeles. Aimed
ns It Is at the Santa Fo , that road will un
doubtedly Issue the same general order lo lla
connections , and the war ihtis Inaugurated
may be expected to last for some time at
least.
General Passenger Agent Buchanan of Ihe
Elkliorn , In discussing the situation , .stated
thai Die Northwestern was engineering the
light for Chicago and he had little to do with
It except where It affected the Interests of
his line nt Sioux City. Ho thought the war
would bo sharp and vigorously pushed to a
conclusion. When asked as to the minimum
the rale would likely touch ho thought
about $15 would bo the proper figure which ,
ho said , would leave the Santo Fo little
margin except as It might prorate with the
Southern Pacific on business from Mojave
lo Snn Francisco.

Organ Fund Concert.
An audience of fair proportions listened
to n most enjoyable musical entertainment
at the First Congregational church last even
ing. The program was of exceptional merit
nndas received with well deserved com
mendation. The Instrumental features were
furnished by W. T. Taber , who played two
organ solos , and Mr. Theodore Salmon , who
played two numbers and responded to an
encore. Mr. Salmon's first number consisted
of short selections from the compositions of
Diicli , Mozart , Moskowskl and Chopin. His
rendition of the "Polonaise , " by Iho lallcr
composer , was brilliantly executed , but was
somewhat lacking In force. Ills best
performnncs was the "Hungar'an RhnpsoJIe , "
by Ll&zt , which closed his second number.
The difficult execution of the composition d la-
played to tlio best advanlngo Iho technique
of the artist and he was compelled to respond
to n very enthusiastic encore.
First among the vocal numbers should bo
mentioned the sextet from Donizetti's opera
of "Lucia de Lammcrmoor , " which was
rendered by Mrs. C. 13. Squires , Mrs. A. P.
Rly. and Messrs. Jules Lumbard , W. 11 ,
Wllklns , C. E. Abbott nnd Captain Klnzlo.
Their rendition of the difficult selection Was a
revelation even to their friends and they
wcro obliged to repeat It bcforo the audience
would allow thorn to retire. Mr. Wllklns
sang "Love'H Sorrow , " by Shelley , and Mr.
Lumbard "Tho Pirate , " as solo numbcrsxnid
the male quartet , consisting of Messrs. Wll-
Klns , Klnzlc , Lumbard and Abbott , sang UNO
very enjoyable selections.

that docs the work easily , but without harm much more
