HAYDENlBROS. SELLING JOHN BAUMER'S JEWELRY.
What Does it Mean ? It Means that You Can Buy the Best Goods on Earth at One-Third Jewelers' Prices.
Haydcn Bros , purchased this entire stock from John Baumer's creditors and could make a big profit at'one-half Bautner's prices , but Haydens' don't want big profits. They want to sell the goods at one-third
jewelers' prices and be ready for another stock. No one questions the quality of John Baumer's goods. Why should any one doubt "the old reliable jeweler" of Omaha ? If John had a fault it was an overwearing-
desire for superior excellence in the most fastidious and superb novelties. The times seem out of joint for such extreme and exquisite gems at jewelers' prices , bi't at Haydens' prices there is no excuse for not
being up-to-date. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \

' All of the testimony In the Morgan murder
trial was on record shortly after noon yester
day and the arguments were begun. They
will probably be .completed this forenoon and
the jury retlro by noon.
As soon as the case was cloned the
county attorney said that In 1)19 ) arguments
to the Jury it would be- necessary for the
counsel to lisa words of unequivocal meaning ,
words which were not fitting for women and
children to hear. Ho therefore requested
that these persons be- excluded from the
court room. The counsel on the other side
followed with similar expressions of opinion.
Judgu Scott said that he- was ot the same
mind. Ho therefore requested that all women
in the joqm retire and instructed the bailiff
to remove all children. The words were not
pleasing to the feminine portion of the audi
ence , but , with the exception of one or two ,
\\lio made a personal appeal to the court
and were refused , all the women slowly left
tho. court room.
In ilj - morning the defense put Its last wit
nesses on tha Kand. The principal ono wai
William Thompson , the friend ot Morgan , and
the man who Wis expected to strengthen the
testimony given by Morgan Thursday , His
cvldince , however , wig not particularly strong.
In fact , It showed that Morgan wai alone
from 7 to 9:30 : o'clock on the fatal Sunday
evening.
Mrs. S. C. Llridley , who lives In the same
house with Sanford and Morgan , but In
rooms across the hall , was the- first witness ,
She testified that she. had gone > to the rooms
on a number of occasions with tha attorneys
for the defense. On one of these occasions
the three found a rlilrt In Sanford's room.
Objection was at first made to the ndmis
sion of the shirt In evidence , but It was
finally withdrawn. The shlrv was a gray
neglige , marked with the name of Hodg.
, There were several spots of blood at the
bottom ,
AGKKED ON THE FISH STORY.
William H. Thompson , 024 South Seven
teenth ttrert , was the next witness called.
Ho was a friend of Morgan , the Thompson
whom Morgan had so often mentioned in his
testimony ,
Thompson corroborated the fish story told
by Morgan. He eald that cither on the
Thursday or Friday before the murder he had
.been prcient when Morgan bought some
fith , The lUh were taken homo and Thomp
son was present when Morgan cleaned them.
Thompson aUo said that ho was at Mor
gan's room on Sunday evening at nearly 7
o'clock , Sanford , Murray and Llndley were
present. A dispute arose between Sanford
nnd Thompson over the time of day , the
clock not being In running order. While
the dliputo was on Morgan came In. He
took the clock and vent out , saying that he
was going to the Doran house to set It. He
- Tf turned In about ten minutes ,
That wai all the direct testimony that the
witness was asked to give. On cross-exam
ination Thompson t < ald that he and Sanford
left the roomu within ten minutes after Mor-
an'u return. Morgan had. In the meantime ,
raised Into hit room , Thompson and San
ford returned at o'clock , There wu a

man , presumably Morgan , at that time lying
on the bed , or rather mattress , in Morgan's
room.
Morgan had entered Sanford's room anc
almost Immediately went Into his own room.
Ho might have gone out of his room by a
door Into a hallwa/ and then out to Half
Howard street again. What he did , Thomp
son could not tell , because he and Sanforf
left the rooms within ten minutes.
Neither counsel asked Thompson whether
there was blood on Morgan's clothing before
ho went to his room.
The defense called for William H. Haze
but there was no response. Therefore the
defense rested Its cavo.
The state began the Introduction of Its
testimony In rebuttal with Dr. Foote. He
had been called to give the remit of his
examination of a blood stain that had been
found on the- Inside of Morgan's pants. He
sild that the blood contained a substance
called epithelium.
"Is that substance found In the blood
of a fish ? " was asked.
"No , sir , " the witness answered.
The defense objected to this portion of
the evidence on the grounds that It had
not tried In prove that Morgan's clothes had
been bloodstained from ths fish.
The court said that If this was the case ,
all the evidence regarding the cutting and
cleaning of llsli was entirely Immaterial , and
ho therefore ordered It to be htricken from
the record.
BOOKER TELLS HIS STOIIY.
Detective Hudson and Captain Haze , who
had arrested Morgan , were recalled und tes
tified that there was no blood on Morgan's
nose , face or mustache at the timeof his
arrest. Officer Glover and Sergeant Her also
testified that no blood appeared on Morgan's
face. All swore that Morgan had never
accounted for the blood on his clothing by
saying that It came from his nose.
County Attorney Baldrlga then called
Martin Booker.
Booker woo decidedly the most ncrvoua
witness who occupied the stand during the
trial. He shifted uneasily In his chair all
the wlillo and could not keep his hands and
feet still.
Booker eald that hs had been acquainted
with Ida and Wlillo Gaeklll and their mother.
Ho saw the children almobt every day. On
the Sunday Ida and Willie were at hit bouse'
at 11 o'clock for dinner. They remained un
til about 4 o'clock In the afternoon. They ate
dinner and then Ida washed the dishes and
Drubbed the floor. During the whole time
they wore away only two or three times , and
then to get tomt candy.
Witness tali ] that at 2:30 : o'clock Morgan
stopped at the door of his house and spoke
with Ida a few minutes. The conversation
was In a low tone. Witness did not hear
what wai said , but Ida laughed at Morgan's
words. Ed Sanford came Into the house
after 3 o'clock and remained about half an
hourWitness
Witness said that some time after Ida and
Wlillo had left a man living at 1814 Half-
lluward street , Titus , came to his room ,
They stayed in the house fcr a while and
then Titus suggested that Booker accom
pany him on a search for some rooms. As
It was almost tlmo for Booker to attend to
Ills horses , In Compton'e barnT" he agreed
to do BO.
The two left Booker's about 430 ! o'clock.
They went to never * ! houses and examined
[ him. They arrived at Campton's barn be
tween G:30 : and 7 o'clock. Buoker took the
liort'5a to Twentieth street and Poppleton
avenue , returned and cleaned them. The two
; hcn returned home. At Twentieth street and
St. Mary's svenue Titus went to look at an
other house , while Booker went to his home , '
arriving at 8 o'clock or a little after. In
five minutes Tltui came In , They had supper
ind then Booker went with Titus to lila
room. Ho stayed there until between 9:30 :
and 10 o'clock and went to bed ,
On cross-examination witness said he was
born In Wayne county , Ohio. He married
and shortly after left his family. He denied
hat lie had left under a cloud. He went to
Iowa , near Atlantic , and farmed for a while ,

years ago. He sent for.his wife once while
he was In Iowa , but ehs went back home
because che did not like the country. He
had not heard from her since.
THE WITNESS BECOMES RATTLED.
The witness contradicted the testimony of
Captain Haze by saying that hs had no con
versation with him on the morning after
the murder in which he gave an account o ;
his doings on the Sunday evening. He later
qualified this statement by saying that he
remembered no conversation. He said that
all the conversation he had with the police
was a question ho put as to the cause of
hla arrest.
"Did Captain Hazs accuse you of tbo mur
der of Ida Gasklll ? " was asked , but on an
objection from the county attorney the wit
ness was not permitted to answer.
The defense then proceeded to cross-ex
amine the witness clcsely regarding the route
ho took after he left his house with Titus
until he arrived at Compton's barn. It ap
peared that the nttornsys for the defense hat
had a conversation with Booker In the county
jail and that there he- had made statements
which did not tally with the testimony given
on the witness stand.
During the examination the nervousness of
Booker evidently increased. He had de
cidedly the appearance of a guilty man , con
siderably moreso than Morgan when he was
on the stand. He twisted about In the chair
continually , crossed his legs every few min
utes and clasped and unclasped his fingers
all the while. In some of Ms answers ho
tried evasion , and frequently acted as If ho
did not know what answer to give to the
questions propounded to him.
In his direct examination Booker said that
ho and Titus had gone first to a house at
Eighteenth and Jackson streets , then to
Seventeenth and Mason streets , where several
houws were examined , then to Nineteenth
and Pierce streets , then to Twentieth and
Pierce streets , then to Twenty-second street
and then finally tu Compton's barn , He
repeated this in the cross-examination. He
was unable to give the exact time he left
his house , the length of tlmo occupied at
each place or the time when the barn was
reached.
In answer to question ! regarding the con
versation he had with the attorneys , Booker
admitted that ho had not mentioned that
Titus -accompanied him. He admitted
that ho had not cold that he stopped at
Elglitenth and Jackson streets , at Twentieth
and Pierce streets , or on Twenty-eecond
street. He admitted that he stated that he
had gene directly to Seventeenth and Mason
strejti , where he tuw n man named Raderj
went from there to Twentieth and Pierce
I'trecU ' and from there to the barn. Ho did
not know whether he had said that he ar
rived at the barn ut 5:30. : He had said that
he went directly , home and stayed there.
When the examination had proceeded BO
far , It being 12:30 : o'clock , Judge Scott ad-
Jqurned court to 1:30 : o'clock , saying that ho
thought the detente was wasting considerable
time with the wittiest' ,
IT ALL RESTS WITH THE JURY.
When court reconvened In the afternoon the
cross-examination of1 Booker was resumed.
Booker raid that be had no engagement to
take supper with Mrs. Oasklll on that Sun
day evening and that he had not sent word
that lie would be there at 7 o'clock ,
'Did you expect to take supper with her
that evening ? "
"Well , I did not think that I would have
tlmo to go. "
"Did you sco Ida Gasklll subsequent to the
tlmo you left your home on that evening ? "
"No. fir. "
On redirect examination Booker raid that
Ida had Invited him to supper with her
mother.
He eald that he had never been arrested
In his life.
This concluded the examination.
The county attorney remirked that ho had
sutipcnied Titus to corroborate the testimony
of Booker , regarding the latter'a whereabout ! .
Ha was ready to call THua to the stand , but
ho understood that the court Intimated In the
morning that he wanted the caio brought to
a closD. Ho therefore wanted to know
whether the court would permit him to b
called.
v
Judge Scott very lengthily explained that ho
did not want to be > understood as desiring to
bring the case (0 ( an unseemly hurried clos ?
but ho did want to keep out all "rubbish.1
Ho said that'he had always been fair while
ho was on both the civil and criminal benches
Ho < lld not want to keep out any materla
testimony and therefoe 'allowed ' Titus to bo
called.
The county attorney called Titus , but ho
failed to respond.
Ezra Hemming , a reporter , was recalled to
the stand to testify to the- questions tha
were put in a conversation between Morgan
and police officers on the morning after the
arrest , and to testify to Morgan's answers
Morgan had denied much of what Hemming
had testified to as having been said In that
conversation. Ths court refused to allow the
testimony , holding that Hemming had al
ready given it and that It was not rebuttal
Hemming , however , swore that Morgan had
been asked if his nose had bled during the
night before , and had responded , "No. "
Titus was again called , but tailed to re
spond.
"Wo rest , " said the county attorney.
"We rest , " come from tho'attorneys for
the defense.

In Oiunlui JValloiml IlniiU Illuelc.
Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday F. J
Melding , s'enographer for Charles Offutt
with offices on the third floor of the Omaha
National bank building , discovered some- thin
wreathes of smoke curling up from between
the base boards near a case of law books , anc
turned In a flro alarm. About the same time
largo volumes of smoke began pouring uut
from th partitions of the office occupied by
Lake , Hamilton & Maxwell , directly beneath
these of Mr. Offutt , and facing Thirteenth
street. When the department arrived on the
scene smoke was Issuing from both front ami
rear windows of the building. Chief Rede !
ordered all windows closed and a coupleol
lines from the chemicals carried up to the
second and third floors. After cutting
through the plaster walls in a number ol
places the fire was at length located bshlnd
the radiator under the floor of Lake & Ham
ilton's office. The walls of the rooms occu
pied by both the law nrms were lined with
expensive volumes and these were removed
as hurriedly as possible , but not before the
flames had badly damaged a large portion of
them. In order to completely extinguish the
flro It became evident that the larger part of
the plaster partitions would have to bo pulled
down , and accordingly two gangs of firemen
were put to work with axes to strip the up-
rlghtu of their coatings ot lath and plaster.
The flro still obstinate/ ! continued to catch
on the stringers and wood work.
When the flro was extinguished It was found
that the damage done the books of the two
law firms was conilderably gi cater than at
flrat supposed. In the office of Charles Offutt
ono large cam of books had been overturned
and they had been almost totally
ruined. Many other volumoa In the
adjoining cases had been warped by
the heat and spotted by the water. Mr. Offutt
places his loss on books and olilco furniture at
about $2,000 ; no Insurance. In the room oc
cupled by Hamilton & Maxwell , about the
lame condition of affairs existed. A number
of book1) had been entirely destroyed by the
flames and many othero Injured by water.
The firm places Its loss at about $1,000 , with
Insurance covering the same. In the offices
occupied -by Hall , McCulloch & Clarkson
on the fourth floor but little damage was EUS-
talncd. The bank people estimate their lessen
on the building at $900 , with Insurance. It
was at first thought the flro originated
by reason of defective wiring , but upon an ex
amination by Inspector Schurlg this was
found not to be the case , an there were no
llvo wlros In that portion of tli ? building.
If wan finally decided that the flro was the
result of an overheated steam pipe.

fast mall train from St. Louis reached here
at noon today Elmer C. Snttley , ex-cashier
of the wrecked Kansas City Safe Deposit
and Savings bank , under sentence of four
years In the penitentiary , stylishly drssseO
nnd carrying a Gladstone bag In his right
hand stepped quickly from the front platform
of the rear Pullman and walked Jauntily to
where his lawyer , John O'Grady of Kansas
City , was standing waiting for him. He
shook O'Grady's hand warmly and asked him
a question In n low voice. After n chat with
Ills lawyer Sattley was token to the Monroe
house and ate a hearty dinner. After dinner
ho asked Marshal Noland to allow him to
write a couple of letters before he was taken
to prison , and the request was granted. At
2:30 : o'clock Sattley and Marshal Noland were
driven In a carriage to the prison. When
they arrived at the stone steps In front of
the warden's olllce , Sattley glanced up and
along the stone front with Its grated bars.
Then they entered and were taken Into the
office of the warden , where Sattley was Intro
duced nnd then removed a white mufller from
his neck , took off his overcoat and sat down.
He crohsed his legs nnd said to the warden :
"I suppose you have room for another
boarder ? "
"There's always room for one more , " said
Warden Pace.
"Well , I never supposed I'd have to sponge
board off the state , but here I am , and I
will make the best of It. "
After some more conversation , Sattley was
taken In and locked in a cell. Ho was
dressed In a convict's suit this evening. His
cellmate will bo one of tho. colony of bank
officials who are prisoners In the penitentiary ,
and he will be put to work as n bookkeeper.
Persons who are In a position to know say
that Sattley had leas than $200 when the bank
failed , and that he IB poorer now than he
was then.

NEW YORK , Dec. C. The- Herald this
morning tays : Michael II. De Young , pro
prietor of the _ San Francisco Chronicle/ and
member of the national committee. In In thla
city. He Is on his way to Washington to.
present the claims of San Francisco as the
place for holding the next republican na
tional convention.
"Thero are persons In this part of tha
country , " he said , "who nro figuring on a
republican walkover and I notice that Brice ,
on behi'lf of a certain class of democrats , has
thrown up the sponge. . There are other
democrats like ex-Speaker Crisp , for instance ,
who take a leas cheerless view of the situa
tion. To mo It seems that Crisp Is figuring
something llko this : The group of states-
known as the solid couth , which have 156
electoral votes , can 1)3 depended upon to take *
any action In the national convention that Its
leaders dictate.
"Now , suppose In their wisdom , they de
cide upon a flat-footed plan favoring free and
Independent coinage of silver , what help
could they expect ? They are perfectly aware
of the situation und know that they could
depend upon the delegates from the follow
ing states to stand In with them : California ,
Colorado , Idaho , Montana , Nevada , Iowa ,
Kansas , Nebraska , North Dakota , Oregon ,
South Dakota , Washington , Wisconsin , Wyo
ming And Utah ,
"These fifteen states huvo all shown pro
nounced fcllver or populist leanings , and the
latter just now mean fro * ullvrr , Illinois , awe
wo know , would , In all probability , send a
delegation favorable to frco silver , as the
leading democratic rolllklans of the state
are pronounced In their advocacy of frco
coinage.
"Tho democratic convention will utlck to.
the two-thirds rule and Iho delegates from
tha solid south and tli ? Btutt'3 above enumer
ated will present pcveral votes of two-thirds ,
but If the keen politicians of Indiana , Michi
gan and Minnesota have It made clear to
them that the one fighting clianco for the
party Is under the banner ol frco silver , they
would no longer refuse Ihelr adhesion to thtr
known plan of Crisp , Harris , Morgan anil
Bland.
"If the democrats should udopt a frco coin
age plank , the republicans uhould try to
straddle ; these men think that they could
depend upon the150 votes of the uolld south
and the eighty-six votes of the fifteen ether
staten. "
"Who would tbo democrats nominate on a
silver platform ? "
"I don't know whether they would have
lie courage to nominate a fornur confederate
general , but there are signs of a disposition
> n tliflr part to consider the war at an end.
If to there IB no reauan why they should not
> ut up Morgan of Alabama , I vhould regard
ilm au a dangeroui opponent on a free silviT
ihtform , If our party has not ( sagacity enough
.0 tee the drift of events. If good senna
irevalls and the republicans coins out for
ilher und vhow that they are in earnest , no
democratic candidate could have a ho\r
again , for bimetallism and protection are
cglcally connected. "
