Judge Ferguson yesterday Instructed the
Jury In the Seljan murder case to return a
verdict of not guilty against John Urubnlc ,
Mlko Mlkan and Anton Ilukovlc , the three
men charged with the murder of John Sel
jan. He then ordered the men discharged
from the custody of the sheriff.
When court convened Judge Ferguson an
nounced that ho Intended to sustain the de
fense's motion for a dismissal of the case.
In making his ruling he said that ho had.
reached the conclusion that the evidence In
troduced by the slate wag Insufficient to
convict the accused , men of the crlmo
charged ; that even It the jury did return a
verdict of guilty ho would under the law
and evidence bo compelled to set It aside.
Ho held that there was no need of going
on with the case , as no matter what the
defense was the state's evidence was lack-
Ing. He consequently sustained the motion
for a dismissal.
Only a few minutes were needed for Judge
Ferguson to glvo his ruling and then the
jurors were summoned Into the room. They
were Instructed to return a verdict of ac
quittal and were at once discharged. Judge
Ferguson Immediately discharged the pris
oners. All three were apparently rejoiced
at once more regaining their liberty , but
none of them gave much evidence of It ,
The twelve men who composed the Jury are
rejoiced that the case terminated In the
way It did. It Is understood that each
Juror felt that It would have been Im
possible to return a verdict of guilty
on the evidence of the state , and still all
would have hesitated somewhat In returning
n verdict of acquittal , Inasmuch as there
waa an opinion that the three men wore
guilty of the terrible crime. One ballot
was taken In the jury room after the state
had rested and It was unanimously In favor
of an acquittal.
KICKED AGAINST THE BAILIFF.
Just before the Juroro wore taken to their
room on Saturday night several members
Mated In open court that Ualllrt Savage of
Judge Scott's court was very autocratic In
the manner In which he was treating them ,
Ho refused to tnlco them out for a walk :
except when It suited his own convenience ,
and then ho always took them over the same
route , despite their protestations. On hear
ing this complaint , Judge Ferguson ordered
1110 uaiuu 10 IOKO ino jurors on sunaay
wherever they deolrod , and on the request of
the men ho especially Instructed Savage to
take them somewhere In , the suburbs. He
also said that the jury would be supplied
with books by the bailiff.
Instead of having the desired result , these
Instructions appeared to make matters worse.
Bailiff Savage gave no books to the Jurymen
and ho refused their other requests.
At 9:30 : o'clock the jurymen called Savage
Into their room and told him that they de
sired to take a walk.
"Take a walk , " ho haughtily responded.
"You will take a walk when I get ready.
I know my business better than you , or
anybody else. "
With those words ho closed the door. At
11:30 : ho condescended to take the men out.
lie walked them about , however , where he
wished , and then took them to dinner. After
that they were again locked Into the Jury
room. At 3 o'clock ho was again summoned
and ho was again requested to take them
out.
out."I
"I told you that I know my business , " he
raid. "When I get ready to take you out I
will , and no sooner. As soon as I am ready
I will come back and take you out. "
Ho returned at 4 o'clock and announced
that ho was ready , but the jury was primed
for him. Each and every member took a
turn at telling him just what they thought
of htm , and did not mtnco words In doing
so. Threats wore made that a report of his
conduct would bo made to the court , and ho
began to sweat. Then ho was told that the
sooner ho made himself scarce the better.
This little Incident had a , good effect on
Savage , and thereafter ho was very meek.
It was the Intention of the jurors , however ,
to report him yesterday If they had been
retained In the cas-o , but as they were dis
charged they decided that It- would avail
nought to make their complaints.

The final hearing In the mandamus case
brought by Judge Doane to compel the city
council to appropriate $235 for services ren
dered the Board of Park Commissioners In
the Jefferson square case came up yester
day before Judge Ambrose. Two attor
neys played dual parts as attorneys and wit
nesses. First , they argued law points for
a while. Then ono of them took the etand
and submitted to the catechlzatlons of the
other , and then they argued again. This
program was repeated with variations all
the forenoon.
In his objections to the Issuance of the
writ of mandamus City Attorney Connell
denied that the city council had over refused
to Include the Item In the appropriation or
dinance. It had simply held It for Investi
gation , as was the council's right. More
than that , no demand had been made on the
city council to pass the Item. Further than
that , It was contended that Judge Doano
had an adequate remedy at law If the coun
cil should refuse to pay the bill , and there
was no occasion for the court to Interfere.
The principal Issue was made on the allega
tion that the services had not been completed ,
as the case had not yet been argued In the
tuprcme court.
The court held that this was the. only
question of fact at Issue , and after a long
contention between the attorneys Mr. Con
nell called his opponent as a witness In an
effort to show that there was still some
work to be done In connection with the
case. The testimony was simply a repeti
tion of the allegations of the petition and
tlio arcuments.
In the afternoon an agreement was reached
by the attorneys by which the proceedings
were wiped out and the Issuance of the writ
allowed to rest until the final hearing , which
will bo at the next term of court.

Trial IH Granted.
Judge Keysor granted a motion for a new
Irlal In the Crelghton will case yesterday.
Ho did so mainly on the ground that
the testimony of the experts regarding the
sanity of Joseph Crelghton at the time ho
made the will was introducsd under Im
proper questioning. Although the court
referred to the charge that the arguments of
the counsel In the case were prejudicial and
appealed to the religious bias of the jury , ho
did not consider It of enough weight to In
corporate It among the reasons on which the
new trial was granted.
The casa was finished some weeks ago ,
after a trial which lasted moro than
two weeks. It resulted In the breaking of
the will , so far as a behest of some property
to St. James' Orphanage was concerned.
Its resu'.t was to make the- daughter of the
deceased the sole heir. Immediately after
the conclusion of the case a somewhat sen
sational motion for a now trial was made.
Among the reasons on which it was based
there wag an allegation th'at the attorneys
In their arguments had appealed to the re
ligious prejudice of the jury and that the
jury Itself was composed of men who had
signified , or shown a prejudlc ? against the
Catholic religion.

Fred Wohlgren Pleads Qnilty to Murde
in the Second Degree.
MAKES A STATEMENT TO THE COURT
PnthoH In nix Story Hint Tone-lied At
Who Heard Him lionHe
Came ( o Kill
Miitlnml.
Fred Wohlgren has been sentenced to the
penitentiary for llfo for the murder of Mrs
Augusta Matland , committed July 30 , last.
The case was set for trial In Judge Scott's
court yesterday , but when It was callec
the attorney for the prisoner stated that the
accused was Billing to plead guilty to the
charge of murder In the second degree nnd
the county attorney expressed n willingness
to accept the plea and save the oxpsnsa am'
tlmo of a trial.
IJeforo the court convened Mr. Baldrlgo
seemed disposed to push the prosecution ol
the caso. He admitted that ho was physi
cally unfit to conduct the case vigorously
and that ho had been so busy that ho hail
had no time In which to confer with the
witnesses for the state nnd make n proper
preparation for the trial. While the talk In
this vein was going on , Wohlgren was
brought Into court and was Immediately
taken possession of by his twin boys , two
bright-faced lads. 5 years of age , who
showered him with expressions of affection ,
and to whom ho seemed ercatly attached.
Mr. Daldrlge witnessed the meeting nnd was
touched. He said he was convinced no jury
would condemn the prisoner to sufi'er the
death penalty , and that ho was willing to
accept a plea of guilty of murder in the second
end decree.
When the caso' ' was called Mr. Ualdrlge
made a statement of the situation to Judge
Scott and Wohlgren was called before the
court to receive his sentence. In response to
questions by the court , Wohlgren told the
story of his life and told It In such a plain ,
honest manner that Judge Scott was visibly
affected. Wohlgren told how he had come to
this country In 18S3 and had met the woman
whom he afterward killed. They left hero
nnd went to Minneapolis and lived for five
years as man nnd wifennd twin boys were
5orn to them and baptized In the church ns
Ihclr children. They were living happily In
Minneapolis , whsro Wohlgren was employed
nnd where he stood high with his employers
and In his circle of friends. Then Matland
appeared , broken In health nnd the victim of
in assault by robbers. He was given a home
n the Wohlgren houw and stole
; ho affections of the woman
rom Wohlgren. One morning
Wohlgron kissed his wife and babies and
went to work. Ho returned In the evening
ana found his wife nnd children gone and hl,3
: iomo robbed. He came to Omaha and found
ils wife living with Matland , who abused the
joya because they would not call him "Papa. "
rlo took the boys nnd went to Minneapolis.
The boys were again brought to Omaha at
Mrs. Matland'a Instance. Wohlgren followed
and arrived hero a few tlaya before the mur-
ler. He was crazed with grief and Jealousy.
Ho commencsd drinking nnd lost nil Idea of
what ho was dclng. He remembered , he
said , nothing of the events Immediately pre
ceding the murder of the woman he loved.
All he recalled was that ho found himself
loldlng the body of the woman In hh arms
n the Model Steam laundry building on
3odgo street on the morning of July 30 , and
rylng to kiss her. Then ho was taken to
all and awoke to a realization of what ho had
done.
That was the story as told by Wohlgren ,
and no ono who heard It doubted his honesty
.s ho spoke. Ho made no effort at conceal
ment and told the court that he knew he
hould b punished and was willing to receive
he sentence.
Judge Scott , after a talk of some length ,
sentenced Wohlgren to life Imprisonment In
he penitentiary. He told him , however , note
o bo without hope , and stated that If the
> rlsoner behaved hlnvelf In the state prison
: olp might come to him.
Onve CiiininliiKN Ten Yenrx.
Judge Scott yesterday overruled the
motion for a new trial In the case against
Charles Cummlngs and sentenced him teen
en years In the penitentiary.

tlnnr TliMr .lonriu-j' .
It will bo rememlitretl that-several weeks
ngo mention was mido In the papers that for
six weeks the Xewcorrib family , consisting
of the husband and wife , had been sleeping
nt the union depot because they had nowhere
else to go and hart no money. The * story
told was pathetic. N 8 * comb said that he
had been working on a ranch some fifty
miles from Epna , Ore. , for A man named
Smith , who was his brother-in-law. Ho had
succeeded In saving * enough out of his salary
of | 25 a month to enable him with some
assistance from his brollicr-ln-law to send for
his wlfd , Smith's sister , nnd the boy , who
were living In the old country. Some months
ngo he went to New York to meet them and
there set out shortly to return to Oregon.
Their money allowed them to reach Omaha ,
hut when they arrived nt this point It was
found that they had only money enough to
pay the fare of the boy. They sent the boy
on to Oregon with the hope that when he nr-
rlved there the brother-ln-lnw would forward
transportation for them to follow.
No word , however , was received from Iho
brother-in-law and for over six weeks the
homeless couple' , one of whom only could
make himself understood In broken English ,
slept about the depot. Their condition was
made known to surrounding citizens nnd
those gave them food. The people got tired ,
however , of supporting them and the case
was called to the attention of the county
commissioners.
As the people were non-residents , the
commissioners could do nothing for them ,
but through the efforts of County Commis
sioner Jenkins they were Installed In a
house , and were supplied with 'coal nnd n
few other necessities. The husband went
about the city nnd did what work ho could
pick up. In the meantime Jenkins wrote
to the brother-in-law. It was known thai
the boy hod reached him , nnd therefore II
was presumed thnt Smith did not care to alii
the couple , or pcrhapti was not able to do so.
In his letter , Jenkins threatened that he
would take steps to prosecute him for bring
ing paupers ta this country If he did not
do something for his relatives.
An answer was received Monday. In It
Smith said that he had succeeded In borrow
ing $100 , which he enclosed. The money
was at nnco used In buying transoortatlon
'or the couple , nnd they were sent rejolc-
ng to their homo In Oregon , wher the
luuband will bo able to obtain employment
again on his brother-in-law's ranch.
Failure !
Wo can mention no failure more disastrous
than that of physical energy. It Involves
the partial suspension of the digestive and
assimilative processes , ami entails the retire
ment from business of the liver nnd kidneys.
Only through the good offices of Hosteller's
Stomach Bitters can the restoration of Its
Former vigorous status be hoped for. When
this aid has been secured a resumption of
activity In the stomach , liver and bowels
may be relied upon. The Bitters conquers
malaria and kidney troubles.

his decision will be the Judge was unable
o state. He did aver , however , that the
Union Pacific would have to maintain Its

CITY OF MEXICO , Dec. 23. The press
continues to give hearty support to President
Cleveland. One Journal calls him the cham
pion of all the American people and says the
Monroe doctrine now lias b como a princi
ple , affirming the right of all Americans to
heir own territory and the menace of ab
sorption has disappeared forever.
El Glebe tonight e ys : "England has
arned the profound antipathy of all American
ountrlcs by Its rapacity and Its utter lack
f magnanimity , and Its sordid and robbery
Instincts. Cleveland's stern nnd vigorous
words have filled the American people with
oy. It Is an unexpected revenge upon Eng-
and and a merited humiliation for her , and
she now tastes the contempt nhe haa visited
on all other nations. The principle of Amer-
ca for Its own Inhabitants , watered by the
ilood of 100,000 Mexicans In the war against
rance , has now grown to a full ripeness ,
and Is avowed for all mankind In Cleveland's
messace. "
The press here generally Is of the same
ton * .

The Christmas eve services at the Knox
'resbyterlan church , Nineteenth and Corby

tendeJ by both young and old. AVlillo there
was no Christmas tree , there was. an enter
tainment that was unusually Interesting.
There were songs , recitations and music ,
after which good old St. Nick appeared ,
loaded down with candy and nuts for the
children , all of which ho distributed with a
lavish hand. Just as the old fellow was
about to leave the room same boy in the
body of the house announced that he had
been treated Impartially , and that he had
received , but half as much candy as the ur-
chln by his side. Santa Claus urged that he
had treated all of the kids alike , but , not
withstanding this , he was arrested and
charged with nearly all of the crimes In the
category. A Jury was demanded and a trial
was ordered. After taking the testimony of
numerous witnesses a verdict of not guilty
was returned and. the old friend of the chil
dren was allowed to go on his way rejoicing.
The youngster who filed the complaint was
promptly ejected frcm the house , to the
great satisfaction and amusement of the chil
dren.
dren.At
At the Plymouth Congregational church
there was the usual Christmas entertainment ,
consisting of vocal and Instrumental music ,
essays and recitations. During the evening
a well developed and portly Santa Glaus dis
tributed candy and popcorn to the children.
Piles of people have piles , but Dewltt's
Witch Hazel Salvo will cure them.

NEW YORK , Dec. 23. The Independent ,

editorially : "War ? No , n thousand times ,
no. God forbid. It is a thought -too man
strous to bo seriously entertained. Gen
cral war with England. Impossible. She
Is our mother country. We are of one
blood , one race , one language and one civil
ization. Our frequent expressions of Jealous
impatience with her only prove the sincere
attachment that exists at the bottom.
"War with the United States her own
kin , with whom the bonds of pcaco have
BO long remained unbroken. England can
not tolerate the thought. It ought to bo
Impossible ,
"Have we cultivated reason during all the
centuries since wo left the shades of barbar
ism to dethrone * tt now for an appeal to the
s\\ord ? TJioso who welcome war talk like
fools ; those ? who grow hilarious over the pros
pect of It are merry with Insanity. Wo
are not beyond the province of diplomacy.
England has given us no ultimatum , nor has
che given Vfnczuela an ultimatum. It IH
not cowardly on our part to rcfueo to pre
cipitate a conflict. It Is moral cowardice not
to persist In a peaceful negotiation. Wo do
not propose abject surrender. We propose
to stand by the Monroe doctrine. England
gave her cordial assent to It once , why not
again. Let us have faith that honorable
peace will bo secured , and let the hot-heads
on both sides of the Atlantic , who are con-
Jur'ng ' th9 specter of war , bo treated as chat
tering magpies. "
