LINCOLN , Neb. , Dec. 3. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The case of ths etato against the
t'otner university students , professors and
janitors Is being vigorously contested. It Is
not a trial for the crime of grave robbing ,
but an examination to ascertain If there
la sufficient evidence to warrant holding
defendants to the district court. The de
fendants , visiting student * and their lady
friends In court this morning all were the
tolors of the university , red and orange. Pre
vious to the opening of court , which did not
occur until 11:20 : , an excursion was made to
the receiving vault in Wyuka cemetery.
This was a move on the part of the defense
for the purpose of rebutting evidence relat
ing to Identification of Otto Albert's re
mains. The case of the defense hangs upon
this point. In the party were Attorney Mack ,
Drs. Graham , Dcntley nnd Richards , Bonds
man Oliver and Detective Malone and several
reporter * . The cadaver was brought from
the vault Into the open air and closely ex
amined by the medical gentlemen. Here It
was claimed by Dondsman Oliver that two
marks testified as going to Identify the
corpse , a stiff Joint nnd a scar on the right
hand , were lacking.
Defendant J. A. Durford was the first
witness this morning. Ho testified that ho
and Mehan wore student Janitors of the
university. He denied having said at the
time the body was carried down stairs that
It was heavier than when It was carried up.
This contradicts the testimony of Trustee
Dyer. Witness ndmltted that , in company
with Mehan , he tried to Inject an embalm
ing fluid Into the subject , but the attempt was
ft failure. He produced two packages of
glass , of different colors , accounting for them
by the breaking of the Diana picture In
another room.
THOSE ERICKSON LETTERS.
A contract between Witness Mohan and
the university was placed In evidence , showIng -
Ing that both ho and Ituford had engaged
with the faculty as Janitors of the building.
Collins , for the prosecution , wanted Duford
to submit a specimen of his handwriting for
comparison with the Erlckson letters , but
the court hold that the signature of the wit
ness to the contract was sufficient. It la the
theory of the prosecution that the letters
purporting to hava been written from Chicago
cage by M. D. Erlckson offering to Sell the
body were written In Lincoln and by a party
connected with Cotner university.
Student-Janitor Mehan was next on the car
pet. Ills testimony was closely corroborative
of Dutord's. Witness contradicted the evl-
Hence of Chief Cooper , who had testified that
witness had told him Iluford had the key to
the dissecting room on Thursday night. Had
never said that he helped to carry up the
"stiff , " but admitted that Detective- Malone
had asked him If the body was not heavier
when carrying It down than when he had
assisted In carrying It up. This , he raid ,
was epoUen In the manner of a Joke nt the
time. Collins wanted a specimen of Mehan'a
penmanship , but the court luled against him.
As a personal accommodation , however , to
Collins , witness wrote the name M. D. Erlck-
eon on a slip of paper.
At this , point court took a recess until 2
p. in.
Dr. Dently was called to the stand In the
afternoon. Ho said that he had visited Wy-
ulca cemetery this morning and found a scar
on the left shin and one between the fore
finger and thumb on the right hand of the
cadaver now In the receiving vault. Wit
ness was a lecturer at Cotner university , and
treasurer. Hud received ? 40 from the dis
secting class on November 21. Didn't know
Erlckson. It was evident that Dr. Bently
Was a better witness for the prosecution than
for the defense.
liondsman Oliver of Bethany said that he
had examined the "stiff" on the night of the
arrest and found no scar on th > hand. There
was a scar on the left shin and the teeth
Were In a decayed condition. The forefinger
of the right hand was bent , but not stiff.
Had seen th cadaver again this morning
and found the same marks.
nrnest McAdam , a student at Cotner. testi
fied concerning the glass found In the dissect
ing room. He said It came from a broken
picture of thedean. . Could not recognize
the handwriting of Erlckson.
The rest of the testimony was In the nature
of rebuttal of the evidence of Bondsman
Oliver. Drs. Edwards , Graham and Farnham ,
Detective Malons and Reporter Mason testi
fied to the pretence ot a scar on the back * of
the right hand. Oliver had testified that
there was no such scar. But one more- wit
ness will ixs offered by the prosecution to
morrow morning , when ths case will bo
argued by counsel.
MAYOR WEIR'S PET SCHEME.
Whatever other lessons Mayor Weir may
have learned from the recent election , he
does not seem to have seen In the verdict
ot the people any Intimation that his policy
regarding the suppression of the social evil
is not a popular one. It appears that this
pet policy of the mayor has not made any
considerable amount ot nolso In the munici
pal rattlcbox , and some of the policemen had
begun to ba In danger of * forgetting the
mayor's famous pet orders , and therefore it
was that when the night force lined up Sat
urday evening Mayor Weir was present to
refresh a little the official memory. He
begun by assuring the boys that his orders
regarding the social evil had never been re
voked and are presumed to be In full force
and effect. He had hoard a number of
things , however. In relation to the enforce
ment of the rules which had surprised him
a great deal. In fact he had been led to be-
llevo that the orders were not being en
forced with the rigor and Integrity he de
sired. He was apprised ot the fact that
there were quite a number of disreputable )
women plying their trade about the city , an I
he was determined to have them run out of
town. If the present police force was unable
to do this work he assured them that ho
would try and get men who will. The result
of the mayor's little visit to headquarters
was marvelous , and manifest Itself before
morning , In the arrest of no less than four
couples who were found violating the pet (
orders of the mayor. All of the people ar
rested were of the lowest character , but thi
nrreats are accepted as a warning by the
better class ot sinners.
JUDGE HOLCOMB CANED.
At 3 o'clock p. m. today , at Yoom 92 ,

comb was presented with a beautiful gold-
Iioaded cane. This 1 the same cane won by

Majors and Holcomb , and although officially
sanctioned by neither , was carried on with
considerable spirit ou each side. Judge
Holcomb won by a handsome majority. The
presentation speech was made by Mr. J. J.
Butler ot this city. In a felicitous address
ot acceptance Judge * Holcomb said that ho
fully realized that this gift came from no
particular class , but that he should receive
It as a testimonial expression from the people
ple at large , regardless of creed or party.
In his futare course as governor of Ne
braska he hoped to carry out. this Idea of
the totality ot the people as distinguished
from Individualism. He should endeavor to
always stand for the people In the aggregate
as against classes In particular.

NEBRASKA CITY , Dec. 3. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Judge Chapman rendered an Impor-
ant decision this afternoon. The case was
hat of several pupils against the Institute
'or the Blind located at this city. The case
grew out of thorefusal _ last year ot these
pupils to leave the Institute after they had
completed the course of study , graduated and
ccelvcd their diplomas.
They claimed It was an asylum. The super-
ntendent referred the matter to the attorney
general , who held that the Institution was not
an asylum and the pupils must leave. Even
hen the pupils refused to leave until the
superintendent secured writsof ouster. The
pupils then asked for an Injunction restraining
ho superintendent from removing them.
Judge Chapman held today that the Instl-
ute Is not an asylum , but a charitable edu
cational Institution and denied the writ.
Should this decision hold It removes one
. 'at office from the governor's appointive Hat.

PLATTSMOUTH , Neb. . Dec. 3. ( Special
Telegram. ) The Louisville bridge case , lately
passed upon by the supreme court In favor
of the people ot Louisville and against Cass
county , refuses to down. Suit was originally
brought to compel the county to pay for the
repairs on the bridge which spans the Platte
river at Louisville. District Judge Chap
man Issued a writ of mandamus requiring
the county commissioners to repair the bridge.
The commissioners took an appeal and the
supreme court In passing on the matter
affirmed the decision of the lower court , but
left unsettled the question asto whether
the county was liable for the repairs on all
the bridge. This left the case really un
settled , as It gave the commissioners a sort
of loophole , on the ground that Sarpy county
was responsible" " for one-half ot the repairs
With the north halt unrepaired the bridge
would bo utterly worthless tor travel and the
Louisville people , through their attorneys
have now taken steps to have the matter ap
pealed and the question of liability between
the two counties passed upon in full.

kindly feelings his unexceptional fairness
mil uniform kindness shown to all of us dur-
ng his term of cfflce.
The resolution was unanimously adopted ,

of the city of Omaha , hereby extends to Mr.
J. II. Melkle , the retiring attorney for the
board , its most grateful appreciation und

nnd conservative advice Riven under many
peculiar and prcplexlng circumstances.
Early In the session President Powell re-
liorted to the board the death of the daughter
if Superintendent A. P. Marble , nnd , on mo-
Ion of Mr. Tukey , a committee of three was
ippolntcd to report a suitable resolution ot
