He testified that ho was present a week ago last Sunday at the residence of Mrs. Smith , nt which tlmo nnd place a con versation took place between Smith and his px-wlfe.

The witness nnlcl ho hoard all of the conversation nnd that Smith did not cny that what he swore to was all a lie. On cross-examination Mabrlo testified that Smith did not say any thing direct , and didn't nay anything about women not going to the jail to see him for Immoral purposes. Mrs. Smith had a copy of the World-Herald and the witness had a copy of The Bee. When the report of what Smith had Huoni to was read Mrs. Smith was pretty hot , and fcoon afterward Smith filtered the room. Smith and Mrs. Smith then had such n racket over it that the wit ness wanted to be out of there. All ho heard Smith say about the published report was that It was n mistake and he would linvo It corrected. Ho did not hear any talk about anybody being paid for testifying. Frank Stroud was called for the purpose of Impeaching the testimony of Smith , but ns the grounds had not been properly laid the defense objected , and the witness was told to stand aside until this could bo done by recalling Smith. Smith was not In the court room , and Mrs. Martha Leo wns called. She testified that filio was solicitor for the Rcscuo homo for pcnltont fallen women In this city. She solicited food nnd clothing , and some of tha tlmo was In charge ot the girls at the home. She was there In the summer and fall of 1892 when Lllas Page was taken to the home , and saw the girl there the night of her arrival. She talked with Lllas the next day and evening , and the girl told her that she was pregnant. This was the last of Scp- tomCer , and wns about a week after Lllas loft the county jail. The witness carefully observed the girl for n month with reference to what had been told her. Lllas was sick nearly all the time , and told the witness atone ono of the many conversations that she had with her that she was pregnant nnd did not propose to stay there nnd allow her baby to be born , ns nil the girls would know It , nnd she was going nwny. The witness told her not to feel so badly about It. ns she ( tlio- witness ) would i-cn that she was carefully secluded and when she was confined would take care of her herr.clf , and not n soul out side the homo should know about It.

The witness niailo no examination , but made up her opinion from what she saw of the girl's sickness and what the girl told her about the cause of It. The witness said she had had experience In such cases for about twenty years and was of the opinion that she could toll n case of pregnancy \\hon she saw It as well as any one. She testified that Lllas told her that she had been Intimate with a colored man named Jesse Newman , nnd thnt Newman had given her money , but didn't say how much. The doctor who attended Lllas at the homo was Dr. Somor- vlllo , who was the family physlulan nt the home. PAGE GIRL'S TESTIMONY.

After being released from jail she remained with her stepmother at Sixteenth and Jones streets for about a week , and then went to the Rescue Homo. The witness testified that she thought at thnt time that she was pregnant , but she now know that this had not been the case , nnd that she had never boon pregnant In her life. She knew Mrs. Bennett while In the jail , but didn't think she had over talked with her about her condition. Mrs. Bennett had not told her what to do to got rid of her unborn babe , and she had never told her stepmother that she had. She had told her that Mag Green had told her what to do. Mrs. Bennett 'never * gave her any medicine or Instruments , and no attempt was ever made to produce an abortion on her. She was In the homo when she found out that she was * not pregnant. Dr. Seniors had called to see her while at her stepmother's house , and had made an examination. She had not sent for htm , and did not know who did. Dr. Walker nlso nmdp an examination of her n day or two after Dr. Somers was there. The doctor nt the home , Dr. Somer- vllle , gave her modlclno when ho called to see her there. Ho gave her mcdlclno for hatover It was that she wns complaining of. On cross-examination she testified that when she went to the Jail she thought she had been pregnant for moro than a month. She didn't know whether she hail talked with Mrs. Bennett about It or not. She had told her stepmother of her condition , nnd had believed that this was what was the matter with her. * The witness became very much confused during the cross-examination , and repeatedly contradicted herself.

She was sick wl.llo In jnll , but not sick enough to bo In bed. Dr. King came there once to BOO her when sick , She told Mrs. Bennett that BIO | wanted to sea htm to get some medicine , but did not remember what nlio wanted the mcdlclno for. She talked with Mag Green about her condition about n week or two before tjho went toall , She worked for Mr. Lewis about a week or two before she went to Jnll. A colored man named Jetso Newman camosto the jail to see her once. Ho talked with her , but the door was locked between them. Other people had also gone to the Jnll to too liur , but she could not re member names. MRS. BENNETT'S DENIALS. Mrs. George .1. Bennett was the next wit- ness.

" No abortion had over been performed or at tempted or mentioned In the Jull while the witness was there. She was sure that he would have known of It It thereIs4 : been. On cross-examination she said that tbo was matron of the jail , for two years. Sh Uuricd lu In January , 1892 , and during her husband's term na sheriff. She Wait at the jail nearly all the time. She was away In September , 1893 , when she was out In the state visiting some ot the Ro- bekah lodges , Independent Order of Odd Fel lows , as she wns the mate president ot thnt degree. She was In Chicago the week before the last election , but was at homo on elec tion day. She was not away In 1S92. Her husband was away some that summer , but not more than a week at a time. The wit ness did not ftgrco with Lllns ns to Dr. King having been called to the jnll. She Raid that he hnd never been called there to ice Lllas. She hnd never called him ; In fnct , she had never called any physician , She wac very positive that she would dis tinctly remember If any physician hnd called to see Lllas. The witness testified that she saw the girls In the cell every day , and she did not have a hard tlmo managing them. Four of them got away on the Fourth of July , but that was wlillo she was awny. None of the others had gotten away. She was acquainted with Moslier. She never heard Lllas compHIn of sickness , nnd had never suspected that she was pregnant. She did not think that Newman had ever called at the Jail to see Lllas. The witness said she would have known It If Newman had been there to see Lllis. If any ono had called In her absence she would have been told nhout It. She wns always called when any visitors came to see any of the prisoners In the women's department , nnd she went and stood there as long as the visitors re mained. She did not think that Theodore over brought Newman there , The wltncs paid that she wns appointed matron by he husband , and did not know whether tli appointment was ever confirmed by th Board of County Commissioners or not. Sh know that HhO had never received any money for her work. Her husband had told he that she W.IH to attend to the duties of the position. She had received pay for the firs month's work , but oho knew that after tha her pay stopped. When Bho was nwny the Jailors did the work. She was never notlflci of nny discharge. She was away ten day or two weeks In September. On redirect examination the witness tcs tlficd that her room was upstairs right over , the women's department , and she couh always hear the opening of the door leadiri ) down to the basement. She never bean It open Into at night but once and then she went down to sci what was the matter. She foum that ono of the girls was very sick and had whistled up through the tube to the ofllco for assistance. The witness said she always remained up until the sheriff came home , and It was frequently 11:30 : o'clock She never allowed any carousing In tlu women's department. One night n colorci band serenaded her an 1 she invited the serenadcrs Into the I > . It was possible to hear nny noise all t ijh the jail. Whci the four girls escaped sh-j had turned ovei tha keys to Jailer Miller , and ho had sah ho would look after the girls. She told him she had allowed them to go Into the laundry to see the parade. When she returned the jailer scolded her for letting the women go Into the laundry , and had denied that she had told him anything about It. The wit ness said uhe never saw whisky In the women's department , but smelt It there once , and had inquired how It came there She learned that It came In from the out side , and had punished the culprit , who got it by sending her upstairs. On recross-cxamlnatlon the witness salt that the women could undoubtedly get liquor sometimes. She learned that they got It through the keyhole , nnd she then had the keyhole changed. The liquor was poured In with a coffee can spout , but In order to do this the women must have stood In with somebody in the men's department of the Jail.KOEN KOEN SWEARS AGAINST MILLER. Ed Keen , editor of the Figaro , was nexl called to the witness stand. Ho testlflei that ho knew Jailer Joe Miller , nnd lint' talked with him In the witness1 office , where Miller had como nt the request of the wit ness. There was no talk at that tlmp ol nny abortion In the county Jail. There had been a talk on that subject subsequenl to that tlmo , but Miller was the one who did the talking. The witness never told Miller nny such thing us that an abortion had been committed at the jail. Miller had asked him If ho had read what The Boo was going to chnrgo Bennett with , and had then ( old about the alleged abortion. Lilas Page wns not the name of the woman who was men tioned as having been the victim. This was the only talk they ever had on that subject. Tha witness denied that he had over told Miller that ho knew enouSh about the affairs In the. Jail to defeat Bennett. Bennett had no Interest whatever In the Figaro last fall. \ On crosrf-oxamlnntjon "the witness-'said this talk took place about two months before election. Miller was jailer before , the wit ness was convicted nnd taken to the peni tentiary. This conviction was April S , 1S93. The witness later changed this to 1S92 , when Informed by the attorneys for the , defense that ho was wrong as to the year. Ho-sald he did not express any opin ion as to what Miller tflhl him. Ho wns merely pumping SU"01" to Ind out all he could ton newspaper purposes. The witness said he supported Bennett at the request of the republican county central committee. Figaro was the oniclnl organ of the republi can party In Douglas county. It was made so by Charley Unltt , chairman of the execu tive committee/ - the central committee. This wns about fifteen days befojjo the elec tion. The witness said the central committee - too paid for papars ho printed. He person ally received $200nnd the balance , amount ing to $600 In Oil , was paid through the ofllce. Ho also 'received $10 npleco from candidates for publishing their pictures. Several people wrote articles for the pnper , nmong them Fawkner , Ynuger , Glider nnd the witness himself. When asked which articles ho had \yrltten the witness said ho would refuse to nnswer , ns ho might crlm- Innto himself. Ho snld ho wns the editor ot the paper , and wrote some of the edi torials. Ho did not know whether the endorsement of the committee making it the official paper had been withdrawn or not. Ho was called upon to Identify an nrtlclo on the editorial page of the Figaro of March 3 , reflecting on Judge Berka for his conduct in this case , but when asked as to the au thorship again took advantage of the legalt screen , refusing to answer on the ground that it might criminate him. The defense.sought to introduce the nrtlclo In evidence ns showIng - Ing the Interest of the witness In the case. The court ruled It out , but subsequently an nounced that nfter further consideration ho had decided to admit It. The nrtlclo was then read. The witness said ho romomborrd the nrtl clo headed "An Assassin" printed In the Figaro and relating to Rosewater and MRB | Sayer. Ho was In Bennett's ofllco on sev eral occasions , nnd had not seen the paper being circulated from there. If Dennett secured several hundred copies of the paper ho must have paid for them. Bennett had not so pnld him , and ho had not seen Bon net nor nny one sent by him getting such nancrs nt the otllco. JAIL WAS A NICE PLACE. On redirect examination the witness said ho never saw liquor drank nt the Jnll and never heard nny boisterous dcmonstrntlons there. Ho never hnd any liquor there except what was prescribed for him In sickness. The Jail wns very clean. Bennett had noth ing to do with any articles that were printed In the Figaro. On cross-oxnmlnntlon the witness said ho did not know personally of nny perjured testimony In the case , such ns wns charged In the nrtlcio published In the Figaro. Ho then denied thnt ho hnd written thnt nrtlclo , nnd when asked why ho had previously refused to answer It on the ground thnt It would criminate him , said It was because ho wns editor of the paper. When asked whether ho dill not state to Charles Porrln , n former reporter on the World-Herald , In Murphy's saloon nbout two or thrco weeks ngo that when ho was nt ( ho county jail as n prisoner ho was drinking beer In the olllcolth Theodore Bennett ono night and heard screnms Issuing from the women's de partment , and they hurried down tind found a womnu in very bad shape , that the sheets wcro covered with blood , and that ho tele phoned for Dr. Lanyon to come and stop the woman from bleeding to death , the wit ness denied that ho had said anything ot the kind. Ho snld * ho was nt the place named at the time designated , and had-a conversation with PCrrln , but told the lat ter that ho didn't think the Page girl was In the jail when ho was there. The witness was asked nbout the nrtlcla printed In the Figaro relating to the alleged Insanity of Mr. Hoseuutcr. He said bo In terviewed Dr. Tlldcn about It , and the doctor bad come to the ofllce and protested that the lutervltiw was not correctly reportedfaa It had been written so aa to inako him express a positive opinion when ho had merely de clared such a thing possible , Tito nald ho had modified the statement In the next Issue of hla paper. The Interview bad taken place In the presence of others , and the witness admitted thnt ho might have Rubscqucntly joked with the jailer about the matter. B. S. Baker , United States district attorney , was the last witness called.In the afternoon. Ho testified that ho had not bad n talk with Mr. Rosewntcr about an article that the lat ter was going to print nbout Bennett , but that ho had talked with him nbout nn nrtlclo that wns printed October 24 regarding the Incarceration of Moslier. Ho had gone to Koscwnler nnd called his attention to a letter that the witness had received from the attorney general directing nn Investiga tion of the chnrgos made In The Bco nnd World-Herald regarding Slosher , nnd bad naked for the nnmes of Mr. tloscwntcr'n In formants. They had been given. Mr. Rosewater - water did not clalni to know anything nbout the matter personally. The witness called on nil these pnrtlcs with a stenographer nnd took their statements , though not under oath. These statements the witness showed to Rosewater on the day before the election. Rosewatcr read ono or two of them , nnd spoke particularly nbout some of them. He said they did not ngrec with what bad been told him , nnd snld thnt the statement of the Schnelderwlnd woman was not In accord- mice with her affidavit , which was In his possession. The witness had the bundle of statements With him , nnd used them to refresh his memory white on the stand. The ntnte sought to Introduce them In evidence , but Baker objected , stating thnt when ho se cured them It wns under promise that the contents were not to be known to the public. The witness wns allowed to retain posses sion of them , but wns directed to bring them Into court today. The case wns continued until this after- nnon , when the cross-examination of Baker will bo begun. _ ( Slider ContriidlrtH ICorn. OMAHA , March 7.
