When the hearing of the Bennett-Rose-
water libel case was resumed In police court
yesterday afternoon the defenao naked to
have Mrs. Smith recalled for further cross-
examination. She Was not In the court
room nnd the hearing was proceeded with ,
the understanding being that she should bu
recalled before the case closed.
William If. Mabrlo of South Omaha .was
the first witness called by the state In re
buttal. 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 heard what wns said
on that occasion , and said that Smith stated
that what the papers reported that ho Raid
on the witness stand wns n mistake , nnd thnt
ho was going on the stand again and would
tco that It was corrected. 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. After
Lllas had been there about a month she
told { ho witness that she thought she was
going to have a mlsc.irrlage , and the doctor
called 11 doctor. Sobn nftor that Lllas'
symptoms of pregnancy disappeared. The
witness said that while she was certain
when Lllas first come to the homo that the
girl was pregnant , she was" now of the opin
ion that this had not been the case.
On cross-examination the witness testified
that Lilas told her that her symptoms of
pregnancy dated back about three months.
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.
Lllas Page , the girl who has been the
subject of BO much unpleasant notoriety In
the case , was the next witness. She testified
that she was 18 years old last July , and for
about thrco months last summer was an
Inmnta of the county Jail , where she was
charged with being n procuress. 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 could not say
whether she had over talked with Mag
Qroon about her condition or not , yet wns
very positive that the Green woman 'had
told her what to do to get out of her trouble ,
pile testified that Bho had talked with the
Green woman about her condition before
she went to jail , and later said that she
had thla-conversntlon after she wns sent
to jail , She told Dr. Somers nnd Mrs.
Leo that she was pregnant , and after com
ing out ot jail had n talk with her step
mother about It , She know thnt she did
not tell her stepmother that Mrs. Bennett
had told her what to do , but could not say
what had been said 04 the time of the con
versation v.'lth her mother as they had EO
many of these talks. 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. She testified that uhe remcmborcd
Ulan Page , ns she was matron of the jail
when Lllus was there , She had never talked
with the girl about her pregnancy , and had
never atlvUed her what to do , She never

asked whether nho had over furnished her
with Instruments replied that who had i.ot
OB they "didn't have none there. " 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

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. _

The Nebraska saw seventeen seasons
come and go , each one crowded with a
remarkable growth , each with improved
ideas , resulting from constantly laboring-
brains , which the management are ever
ready to devote for your benefit.
Thus we enter upon our i8th season
which we with pleasure announce. It
will be the banner season both for as
sortment and low prices ,
We bought liberally we bought
heavy because clothing was plenty and
buyers scarce it looked as if the Nebraska
tVt >
\ braska was the only courageous concern
in the United States. It swallowed
every line that some manufacturer was
forced to sacrifice bought choice at our
* Jf own figures and a more beautiful line of
patterns in clothing we never were for
tunate to own nor did we ever before
carry as large a line of novelties in men's
furnishings enough said you shall see
