Ho Tells tlm Court of tlm Load Hint Ilu I ! til Wlitn He Shot V. ni1lln loil. William Urovn was on trial all day ycstei- day In the district com t , on the charge of shooting Harvey Washington , a colored man , at a Lov.cr Broadway house , with in tent to commit murder. A good share ot the colored population of the city was pios- cnt and watched the trial with the gicatest Interest. Several witnesses were called upon from among the colored people to testify as to the details of the shooting. II seemed that n crowd of blacks and whites had bec'i drinking and plavlng cauls during the afternoon and evening up to the time ot the shooting. One of the darkles , on the w lines i stand , told ot the firing of the re volver In t'io folio vlug grapiic manner' "Well , Jtulgo , ho je ? ' wen' down in heea after pocket an' wen he rome up ho had el.it gan right wld hliii. " There was a hasty btnm- pcdo among the colored people about tint tlmo , and the witness happened to bo among the earliest to depart , so that he could not give a very clear account of vvl'at followed. Drown himself was put upon the stand and claimed that he was drunk , so drunk ho Old not know what was going on , and also said In the same breath that after a vile epithet or two had passed between Washington and himself he saw Washington rcnch down Into hlb pocket , untl he thought he v.as going fcr a gun. Ho accordingly pu'led Inn own weapon and fired , the shot taking effect on the outblde of Mr. Washington's skull Under County Attorney Organ's cross-exam ination he became somewhat mlvcd , and had to acknowledge finally that he was not so drunk but that he could give a very clear account of all that had happened on the memorable night of the shooting. The case will probably go to tlio jurj1 today. The next case on the assignment Is that of the state against Herman Parr , the motorman - man charged with causing the dcaih of E. F. Holmes through criminal negligence. It Is quite likely , however , that It will not como off on schedule time , for It Is under stood that the attorneys for the elefenso will file n motion for a change of venue , on the ground that the defendant cannot gel a fair and unprejudiced trial before a Jury composed of citizens of Pottawattamlo county , on account ot the bad odor In which the motor company Is since Monday's elec tion. _ x IMCOS.

A committee ) on resolutions was ap pointed , consisting of II. N. Whlttlescy , J , J , Shea , U. II. White , A. Kagtner and Henry Rlshton. This committee retired and In a few seconds came back with a bet of reso lutions , which had been carefully drawn up on Mr. Shea'a typewriter during the after noon. The substance of thesa resolutions was that tho"ilemocriit3 had como to a realizing srnso of the harm that might result from having politics dragged Into school matters and pledged the democratic party to stick to the idea , not only this year , but In all jears to come. The resolutions were not at all acceptable to a good many of the delegates present , but they vvoro adopted In splto of their protests , whereupon a large delegation from the Fifth ward , under the lead of Nick O'Brien , jumped up , put on their hats and overcoats , and left the convention room.
