Judge Smith yesterday heard the evldenc
In a CFC which has bsen knocking about tli
courts In ono form or another for the las
ten years , and seems likely to bo old enoitg
to vote before Its remains are finally lal
under the sod. John lloano Is suing J. J
Hamilton and H. Mendel for the purpose (
having a deed to some- property conveye
by Hamilton to Mendel set nslilo on U
ground that It was executed for the purpos
of defrauding the former's creditors. All tl
parties are from Neola. Hamilton was a |
pointed administrator of the estate of Joli
O'Urlen , the father of Nick O'Brien of th
city. He failed to account for all the funi
In his possession , and Tim Foley \v.z a ]
I pointed to succeed him. lloano was one i
tlio sureties on Hamilton's bond , and a su
was commenced ten years ago against him
collect tbo amount of the shortage. Tt
matter was tried before Captain H. W. Hlgl ;
as referee , and after a great deal of pulllr
and hauling had been done the referee gai
the now administrator a verdict for $300 ar
divided the costs bctwcn the contestant
making them about $2i,3 each. This iledaU
made both parties mad , and the case w :
taken to the supreme court. By this time tl :
llnal disposition ot the case was made la
May In the supreme court tlio total amoui
ti of the Judgment against lloano had grow
by the addition of costs and Interest ,
about $2,500 , and that was the amount Iloai
had to disgorge. Ono cause of this grow .
was the fact that at the time the cult w . ,
commenced the bond suddenly turned t
mUsIng , Judge Smith , who at the time w ;
merely an attorney In the ranks , and a
reared for Foley , set forth the supposed co
tents of the bond In his petition. Just befo
fl the case was to be decided the missing boi
came to light , and It was discovered to 1
lacking In the very essential feature of t !
name of the estate. The law case fell by t !
wayside and Smith commenced another actli

nnd Will Ho Tried After A. A.
Udclngton's line Is Dtapoied ,
The case of the United States against A. A.
Edglngton of Avoca , which was put upon
trial In the federal court yesterday after
noon , promises to be one of unusual In'crcst ' ,
as some of the details of the stories told
are quite sensational , and all the parties
concerned are well known throughout the
county. The Issues Involve W. II. Cuppy ,
his brother , O. M. Cuppy , and Mrs. Jennie
M. Edglngton , the mother of the present
defendant , each of whom Is under Indict
ment and will have a trial after this cast-
has been disposed of.
Nearly the whole afternoon was taken up
with examining the candidates for the Jury.
Twenty-six men were called Into the box ,
and after cocral hours of hard work the
following twelve were selected , several of
whom were noticed wearing Grand Army
buttons :
J. M. Noah of Glcnwood , J. C. Schockley
of Sidney , Thomas Thompson of Illverton ,
William Arbuckle of Vllllsca , Phillip Shim-
bergcr of Dcnlson , J. D. Jones and Charles
McDowell of Clarlnda , Lou S.troud of Glen-
wood , Warren Hough of Crescent , E. A.
Boles of Missouri Valley , George Hart of
Clarlnda and C. M. Cadtle of Yorkto n.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
After a short recess District Attorney
Fullen made his opening statement to the
Jury , which. In brief , was as follows : Jan
uary 4 , 1893 , Jennie M. Edglngton filed a
claim for a pension as the widow of Francis
M. Edlngton , who enllsteJ In the Thirty-fifth
Iowa regiment of volunteers , company F , at
Onawa , Mtiscatlne county , la. Her husband
never served In that company , but another
man Is drawing a pension today under the
name of Francis M. Edglngton , and he be
longed to the company and regiment men
tioned.
Avlngton Edglngton , the defendant , visited
the office of a claim agent at Avoca , William
H. Coon , and said that he didn't know what
his father's name was , but he thought his
mother was entitled to a pension. He took
home some of the records with him to ascer
tain what company his father served In. He
brought them back , saying he had discovered
that Francis M. Edglngton was his father ,
und that ho was burled January 26 , 18S6 , In
LeMars , Mo. , and that he attended the
funeral. He put these statements In the form
of nn affidavit and had It sent off to Washing
ton , along with his mother's application for a
pension. The aflldavlt also contained the
statement that his father had frequently
talked to him about his war experiences and
mentioned belonging to company F. As a
matter of fact , the district attorney said , the
young man was not at the funeral , and his
father's name was not Francis M. Edglngton
as the testimony would show ,
OTHKIl SIDE OF THE STOHY.
Smith McPherson made the opening state
ment for the defense. He admitted that he
would be unable , probably , to show In what
regiment the defendant's father served , and
, asserted that the young man had done as
Is done by men every day In the year
signed an aflldavlt In support of a pension
. claim when ho really had no personal knowl
edge as to the main facts contained In It.
The father , he said , went away from home
In 18C1 and returned In the fall of the same
year with his army uniform on , saying that
ho had been In the battle where General
Lyon was killed. The defense would not dis
pute that Francis M. Edglngton , or Maurice
F. Edglngton , as the prosecution called him
was In company F.
, The defendant would not be able to tel
what his father's name was , and before th
defense had cone Into Its side of the cast
sixty minutes the reason for this would b
made apparent. Ho sometimes signed hi
name M , F. Edglngton and sometimes F. M
Edglngton , nnd he also used other and entire !
different names. He was of a roving dlspo
sltlon , end would be gone for years at
tlmo without any of the members of hi
family knowing where ho was. In Januar
of 18SS a gentleman was taken 111 on a trail
ig near La Mars , Mo. , and was taken from th'
i. train and kept for several days , when h
died. A day or two later he was burled , am
four months later A. A. Edglngton recelvei
a letter from a gentleman of Lo Mars notl
tying him of the fact of the death and stat
Ing that It might be his father.
IDENTIFIED THE BODY.
&
He went down , had the body dug up , ani
Identified It as that of his father. Some o
the contents of the aflldavlt were not strict !
. true , but there were no material variation
from the facts. He wound up with a remar
calculated to bring him In touch with the ol
soldiers who were on the Jury.
"Wo have no right to say that because
pension claim Is Invalid It Is fraudulent , " sal
he ; "wo expect to make such a strong show
Ing before \\c get through with this case tha
every ono of you will say that If you wer
. sitting In that rhalr In Washington Instead o
Hoko Smith this woman would get her pen
sion. "
Everything Indicates that there will be
hot contest over the Issues Involved In th
ease. There were numerous verbal rows be >
tween the attorneys yesterday , and the mos
Intense feeling Is manifest. District Attorne

The opening session of the Southwestern
lown Teachers' association was held last
evening at the Presbyterian church , which
was filled to Its full seating capacity by the
500 or more teachers who are so far In at
tendance , together with those from the city
who are Interested In educational matters.
The attendance so far Is In excess of that
anticipated. All the hotels In the city lira
overrun with guests , and many private fam
ilies have thrown open their dcors. The
program last evening was a very Interesting
one. Dr. Stephen 1'helps delivered an ad
dress of welcome , to which a response was
made by President W. M. Ileardshear of the
Iowa college ! at Grlnnell. This was followed
by an address by Hon. Henry Sabln , state
superintendent of public Instruction. He
made nn earnest plea for n. more practlca"
education , which should reach not nlcno the
mind of the pupil , but his soul as well.
"The school house , " said he , "should be
the rallying point of every good cause. Why
should $14,000,000 worth of property lie
Idle during four months of the year ? The
library , the debating fcchool and the museun
Should find place within the walls of the
school house. High school buildings arc now
being built with large audience rooms , suit
able for lectures on university extension and
other educational movements.
"There has been too much of a tendency to
fill the head of the pupil with facts , wlthou
cultivating lofty endeavors In the line o :
character. He should be taught that then
, Is a nobility of callous hands , and that It 1 :
as lofty a calling to have a trade and per
form It well as to paint a picture or hohl
an olllce. The only aristocracy in America Is
the aristocracy of character. It Is not the
? amount of knowledge a man has , but his
power of application that counts. When the
time comes that no reference Is to made
In the school room to God as creator or to
,
man as an Immortal being , the designs of
tha worst foes of free education will be
realized. "
.
This morning there will be a session In the
°
1'rcsbyterlan achurch at 9 o'clock. In the
afternoon at 2 o'clock there will be meetings
In the Bloomer building , the Presbyterian
church , the Baptist church and the Congregational
gational church , with good speakers nt each
place. At 4:30 : It Is the intention to give the
visitors a drive about the city , and Superln-
. tendent Sawyer desires that all citizens who
have vehicles and are so disposed shall have
<
them at tha Bloomer building at that hour
jjj < for the use of the teachers. This evening
Is ! Superintendent A. P. Marble of the Omaha
city schools will deliver an address at the
Presbyterian church on heating and ventila
; tion. Th public Is cordially Invited to at

Strain of the Terrible DUclonnre * li
Hi Murk on tha Mnn.
LONDON , April 11. An Immense throng
was gathered outside and Inside * of the Bow
street police station when Oscar WIIJo and
Alfred Taylor were brought from the prison
at an early hour In a blick marla In order
to be examined on remand , on the charge of
having committed serious misdemeanors. The
court opened at 11 o'clock with both prisoners
n the dock. Wilde looked haggard and worn
and It was noticed that he has greatly
changed since he appeared on the witness
stand of the Old Bailey to prosecute his cult
for libel against the marquis of Queensberry ,
the collapse of which action In such an un
expected and sensational manner led to his
arrest. Wilde today was much more sub
dued , although he smiled once or twice at
certain questions which were put to him.
But he seemed to realize the gravity of tin
situation In which he found himself. Ho
was dressed as faultlessly as ever , carrying
a shining silk hat In his hand and displaying
on his ungloved lingers many sparkling gems.
Taylor , Wilde's fellow prisoner , bshaved In
the came cncerlngly Indifferent manner n
when arraigned last week , and was evidently
not as desply Impressed with the seriousness
of the charges brought against him as was
Wilde. Sir Edward Clarke again appeared
for Wlldo and two lawyers octtd as counsel
for Taylor. The prisoners are evidently mak
ing a desperate fight. Their lawyers today
delayed the proceedings In every possible
way , and the examination of the accused
promises to bo a protracted affair. Taylor's
lawyers said that ho would recall one of the
witnesses who were examined last Saturday ,
as Taylor was not represented by counsel
upon that occasion ,
Charles Parker , the 19-year-old witness
who was examined on Saturday last , was
again placed In the witness box today. He
was subjected to cross-examination by Sir
Edward Clarke , but his testimony was not
shaken. The other witnesses of Saturday
were not present In court , but by consent of
counsel for the prosecution , who promised
to produce them later on , the proceedings
were continued , and Mr , C. F. Gill , who
acted as prosecutor for the Treasury de
partment , and who , Incidentally , was Edward
M. Carson's Junior counsel In the defense of
the marquis of Queensberry , placed on the
stand a man named Fred Atkins , 20 years of
age , and described as a variety singer. At
kins , In reply to questions put to him by Mr.
Gill , said that Wilde took him to Paris In
1893. Further testimony furnished by the
same witness was similar 10 that given by
young men nnd boys who have been
previously examined In the case. He added
that Wlldo gave him a silver cigarette case
and money. Asked If he did any writing for
Wilde , witness replied : "Yes , I wrote some
thing about 'A Woman of No Importance. ' "
Edward Shelby was then called. He was
formerly In ths employ of Elkln and Mat
thews , and said that In 1891 Wilde called at
the latter' store , and thus witness made the
prisoner's acquaintance. Shelby related how
Wilde's attentions flattered htm , and told
how Wilde gave him copies of his works
with tender Inscriptions , took him to thea
ters' to the prlnco of Wale's club , and to
other resorts.
After Shelby's evidence was all In a num
ber of disreputable lodging house keepere
from Chelsea , the dlttrlc * of London In which
WIUlo's homo Is tltualcd , and several strv *
nuts testified to Wlldo's visits In thftc
houses In company with youths. The * pro
prietor of the Hotel Albcrnurle testified as
to how he became fusplcloiu of Wilde , and
finally Issued a writ for a week's bill In
order to prevent htm from returning to that
establishment.
Testimony was presented shotting that the
relations which existed between Wlldo and
Shelly were brought to the a'.tcntltm of the
lattcr's employers , and Shelly was discharged.
After the police had presented evidence con
cerning his arrest Wlldc and Taylor wcie re-
tr.anded for a week , ball being refused ,
