CoiiipoHiiro ,
JudgB Scott yesterday sentenced W. S
ttakcr , editor of the Gretna Hcporter , to
tno yenr In the penitentiary at hard labor.
In sentencing Ilakcr , Judge Scott took oc-
cislon to score every newspaper man and
publisher , raying that their Idea of journal
ism was n fabrication of lien , especially con-
'jrnlng the character of honorable men. He
referred but once and then but slightly to
the offcnss for which llaktr was convicted
Mo dwelt nt great length on the enormity o
the publication ! * In which It was charged
that linker criticised the court.
It was after 11 o'clock when Scott callci
llaker before the bar. Other prisoners had
been sentenced and the preliminaries In the
Hoover murder trial had begun. An attorney
was nt the time arguing n motion , when
Judge Scott suddenly Interrupted him.
"Walt a minute , " ho said , "there Is one
sentence which I have not Imposed. It Is
In the Uakcr case , " and he turned back the
leaves of hi ; docket.
The attorney stopped In the midst of his
argument , without completing the sentence
Uo had begun. Without a word from the
court , Ilalllff Savage went Into the corridor
end called three times for linker.
"Don't ho roppond ? " asked Judge Scott.
"Call agiln In the court room. "
linker did not answer and Judge Scott
proceeded to write something In the docket
but before he. had finished Halter walked In
He reqiiestsd that sentence be delayed unit
his attorneys arrived , and In n few minutes
they walked Into the court room ,
"I am ready to Impuso the. sentence , " said
Judge Scott , leaning back In his chair.
linker walked up to ths bar , accompanied
by hh attorneys , Tuttle and Cohb. He was
not particularly overawed by the court and
ho showed It. A few minutes conversation
ensued between the court , the attorneys am' '
Raker. In the course of It HaUer said that
he had not been summoned to appear for
sentence , but added :
"I am here and nm ready that this matter
should be settled. "
Before Judge Scott pronounced sentence
Attorney Cobb Informed the court that It
had the option of Imposing cither a jail or a
penitentiary sentence upon linker. Ho
stated that If the evidence showed that the
paper published by Haker was not of general
circulation , that Is , that It did not circulate
outside the county In which It was printed ,
a jail pjntence rould be Imposed.
The court paid no attention to the sugges
tion. He picked up the statutes and then
said :
"On Juno 12 thin man was convicted by a
Jury of criminal libel. On Juno 25 a motion
for a new trial was argued and on Jims 29 I
overruled It. Tha statutes provide that the
punishment shall be not less than one year ,
and not more than three years In the peni
tentiary. "
Judge Scott leaned back and then con
tinued :
WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING.
"I want to say something right here. After
till. ' , man had been convicted I let him go be
fore sentence had bc-n Imposed , to see his
wife , whom ho claimed was sick. He came
back on June 25. During this Interval
through this man , It was caused to be pub
lished that I had caused the death of his
wife , that ho was not treated fairly and that
ho did not have a fair trial. He published a
lot of things. I do not know what they were
The facts are that bo was In Jail only four
days. I allowed him to go homo under a
vordlct of guilty ; ho was gone until Juus 25
ho was in jail until June 29 , and after that I
I ' allowed him to go free without osntcnce
I under $1,000 bonds.
"Decouso of this , this court has been criti
cised from the Atlantic to the > Pacific. This
Is becatiPD what touches on ? newspaper man
touches all of them. They want no restraint
on them. They wont no restraint on the
license of the pt'ssy , not even If they publls.li
deliberate lies. A deliberate Ho w.is pub
lished In thlii case. It was announced dally
that I had killed this man's wife and the re-
prrt was spread throughout th ? country.
Every day I received marked copies of ( he
paper. "
Judge Scott pnu > i ° d a moment to look nt
Rakor. He noticed that no effect had ap
parently bc'n produced so far and ho con
tinued , with anger In his tones :
"You see how perfectly brazen ho Is as
he stands hero today. Ho has the Idea that
If he o\\no a newspaper he Is greater than
God. If a ne\\fc'papr man gets together a
few types and establishes nn office at the
cross roads ho thinks he can begin tn tear
Jcwn the characters of the people and the
: oitrtJ. That Is what they call Journalism.
Duo of two thing ? will haveto happen.
Slthcr newspaper men will have to stop abus-
< ng people or the people will see that the
'Iherty ' of the presj Is token from them.
rhsy seem to think that they are licensed to
avlsh the characters of men.
"If I thought that this man was entirely
responsible for what he has done I would
jjlvo him the limit. But I do not think that
ho Is entirely tp blame. He was stuffed
icross the way every time ho came to town.
Vet , although n verdict hung over him that
ho was guilty of a felony , he goes homo
ind nothing Is too mean , no lie too black
for him to publish and repuhllph. There Is
but one- fate for the man If ho keeps It up
ifter ho rorves his s-cntencp. The American
people are patient , but will nrous ? thcni-
s Ivcs nnd see to It that their rights
ire preserved from the mnllcloua press. It Is
ibont tlmo. A man's character Is ivltliout
> rlce , ns It Is nil lie hns , nnd yet every 2x9
lewspapcr man stationed at the crossroads
.liltilts ho lias n right to ravish It. They are
icwsp.iper men , Journallst3 , anil nro thcre-
'ore compDtcnt to criticise amlt , > ettle Kicat
jiicstlons. They know moro than anybody
ikn , Of course I'll bo criticised , but that
nukes no difference. "
Scott piusc-d aRaln nnd looked at Raker ,
) iit the latter did not show much foar. Then
fudge Scatt stiddrnly cried ;
"nnkcr , I sentence you to the penitentiary
'or ono year at hard labor. Iv | | | give you
.ho other two years of the limit to mend In.
t think that In that time you will learn that
this country is run by the people and not by
llttlo editors on the crossroads. Mr. Sheriff ,
take this mini In your charge. "
ORIGIN OF THK CASK ,
The offense of which Raker wan convicted
; rew out of nn article published by him
n his paper , the Orntni Heportar. In It
t was Intimated that 0119 of the mombrs
if the late grind Jury vlsltod Ninth street
In Omaha for the purpose of securing ovl-
Jenco , while wrvlng , at a tlm * when , the
loclal evil was being considered by the grand
Jt'ry , nf which ho was a member. It was
alleged that the visit was made at night.
The Juryman had Itakrr at once nrrsted
on the charge of criminal Ill'cl. In the coureo
of the trial li a proven beyond n doubt
that the Juryman had not only vlst ! d that
I ! lection , but wltnfssoj were called to show
that ho doalr d tn go to only certain houses
and state 1 , when others wcro mentioned ,
that he "had already been there , "
After bclns out twelve hours the Jury
returned a verdict of guilty , Ono of the
Jurymen wan aekod how It was that nurh a
conclusion had been reached and answered :
"Wo had Judge Pcolt's Instructions with us.
There were twenty-two pag a cf them and wo
tpcnt hours In rend Inn them and took them
Implicitly as the law. We thought that If
wo brought In anything hut a verdict of
guilty Judge Scnt would ( Inn us for con
tempt of court and perhaps send us to Jail ,
On the ntty-nlnth ballot wo ugred upon the
verdict. "
The Instructions referred to were , In the
opinion cf attorneys , the most remark *
. > hi a of ( heir kind extant , both In Ungth nnd
the manner of treatment of the cano. One
attorney remarked his surprise at the Jury
being out n long SB It was , as In hl opinion
Itakcr hn < l but few chances , under the cdn-
otructlon of the U\v ,
During the trial Raker's vrlfo was tick and
her lllnws was contilderably aggravated by
her husband's ( rouble , Ills friends made ef
forts to obtain tits rvlcafo In order that ha
might go to the bedtlde of Iil sick wife , and
after the verdict wan returned Scott was In
duced to allow blm to go to his family , It
w lee Iftta The woman died from worry
over her hutbnnd'a troubles.
After the death of his wlfo inker pub
llshed article * In his paper In which he nc
cused Judge Scott of bringing about his wlfc'8
death and of giving him an unfair trial , cs
peclilly In allowing the grand Juryman t
testify to conversations with people , whllo h
would not pormlt Itakcr's vtltntcucs to do th
sarn9.
llaker Mas rcletse.1 by Judge Scott under
bonda of $1,000 to appear In court for sentence
tenco at the opening cf the September term
Itakcr was present at that time , but Jttdg
Scott did not cec ( It to tvntence him untl
yesterday , although Maker had been In the
court room almost dally since the pesslot
opened ,
As soon as sent ncc was pronounced , Mr
Cobb went to Mnccln nnd secursd from
the supreme court a suspension of sentence
pending an nppcal. He returned with an
order from the supreme court Mint llak r
be r < lpaitxl from Jail on giving a bond o
J 1,000.

TRIAL OF HOOVER IS BEGUN
Oourt Sits Squarely Down on Motion t
Quash.
CONTINUANCE SOUGHT FOR IN VAIN
Not So Much MIMIunlty In SrlectlitK
it Jury UN Wan Anticipated
Court Will llolil
Yesterday Claude II. Hoover , tlio slayc
of Sam liilolsn8 ! placed on trial In th
criminal court , charged with murder In th
first degree. Ho was arraigned on the In
formation , which contained two counts , t
both of which he pleaded not Eullty.
Before the trial was taken up the attorney
for the defense filed and presented two
motions. One asked that the Information 01
which Hoover was arraigned be quashed on
the ground that In the complaint the won
"purposely" had been Interlined. A mumbe
of authorities were cited In which It was
held that this furnished sufficient cause , In
astmich as It raised the presumption that the
word had been put In after the complain
was sworn to.
"If you brought In 1,000 volumes of law In
which that principle Is laid down , I woult
not stultify myself by quashing tills Informs
tlon , " remarked Judge Scott In ruling on the ,
motion. "Any court that would write that
proposition ought to be In the penitentiary
Itself for being a fool. "
The other motion requested a continuance
on the ground that the crime had been com
milled too recently to hllow the defendant to
havci a fair trial , or to obtain a fair jury
Judge Scott also overruled this.
Hoover presented a much better appear
ance when he appeared In the court roon
than lie has at any time since his arrest
lie was cleanly shaven and attired In clear
clothing. He was composed , but rcsponiHi
to questions In such a low tone that he couli
hardly be heard.
The. entire afternoon was occupied In the
empaneling of a Jury , and It was C o'clock
before this work was completed. It was
expected that a great deal moro dllllculty
would bo experienced In llndlng twelve un
biased men to try the case because of the
fact htat the crlmB was committed so rc-
cjntly. There was , however , little dllllculty
encountered , although forty-eight Jurymen
were called before the twelve men were se
lected. Of thesEi little more than lialf wcro
cf the regular panel. After this was ex
hausted talesmen were taken from the audi
ence.
The examination of tha Jurymen was ex-
pedltlously done and there was no effort
made , to quibble over technicalities. Consequently
quently questions were directly asked to dis
cover the franui of mind c-f the Jurymen re
garding the case , and without exception only
those who had forme 1 an opinion regarding
Wie guilt or Innocenca of the accused were
asked to bo excused. The jury as finally
sworn In Is composed of Richard A. Wagner ,
D. W. Fleming. Henry W. Walker , Frank E.
Culver , John Woodward , Oscar Wood , M. E.
Aughbaugh , O. G. Vanness , W. F. Fowler ,
S. L. Morris , William Howard and George
W. Green.
On adjourning court Judge Scott announced
that he Intended to hold long sessions until
the trial was completed. Court will convene
at 9 o'clock In the. . morning , remain In sos-
slcn until noon , reconvene at 1 o'clock anJ
will be adjourned for the day at C o'clock. It
Isvnot anticipated that the trial will last long ,
although the stale has subpoenaed a large
number of witnesses.

The Woman's club scored a distinct suc
cess yesterday In the appearance of Mr , Wal
ter Damrosch In Iscturo 'recital. "
„
For some time past the club , under the
general management of Mrs. Wllhelm and
Mrs. Lindsay , 1m been strenuously working
to bring Mr. Damrosch here for a recital
on the abstruse composition of Wngnr called
"Die Walkure , " and to- say that their efforts
wora crowned with success would bo merely
expressing In a mild way the triumph , w.hcn |
the musical department of th ? Woman's club
has achieved. When Mr. Pennell introduced
Mr. Damrosch yeste'rday afternoon he pre
sented him to one of the finest , most musical
and most fashlinabl ? audiences ever wit
nessed In this city. The auditorium of the
Young Men's Christian association was *
crowded to Its utmost capacity , and the in
terest shown was something remarkable.
Mr. Damrosch , In beginning , spt > ke of Wag
ner as a writer who had worked a wonderful
reform in music , and all through th ? lecture
ho demonstrated to the audience that he
was a warm adherent cf the Wagner school
and an apostle of the great hero of Bay-
rcuth. The lecturer was very plain and un
varnished in his statements. He distinctly
showed that he had reasons for the faith
which was In him. As he eat at the piano
he talked with an air of familiarity with
hla subject that completely carried away th ?
audience , and the easy , graceful way In
which ho described the different "motifs"
and Ideas of the German opsra , especially
these founded on the old Norse legends , was
most refreshing.
Mr. Damrosch defends Wagner especially
on the ground of his having done away with
th ? tiresome roulades , cadenzas and frills of
the older cperatlc school. The voice In the
Wagnerlan ope.'as expresses the emotions ,
and the ridiculous cadenzas of the old operas
nro conspicuous by their absence. "These
trills , " said the lecturer , "were added to
every tolo , Irrespective of the emotion to
be described , whctlur It were grief , passion.
Joy or humiliation ; the pyrotechnics of the
volco uero always brought In to show off
the vocal capabilities of the performers , but
Wagner has abolished this. "
Continuing , Mr. Damrosch Illustrated the
various themes of the opera In hand , and
explained delightfully and simply the Inner
meaning and depth of the composjr'u
thought. _

An After Xmas Sweep
Merc is a lively after Christmas sweep :
$4.50 Boys' Ulsters Reduced to $3.00.
$8.00 Youths' Dress
Overcoats Reduced to $5.50
Two kinds of ovcrco.it , that count too many for this stige of n season
I'lty Indeed that such good values und itcrllug merit must suffer a sacri
fice. Had they arrived In ssason , when called tor tut mismanagement will \
happen , and for It punlshme.nl. .
The $3.00 Ulster Is of our own $4.50 kind It means that It's worth Is
moro than that , and why so Is easily figured. Splendid Shetland cloth ( grey ) ,
lined with woolen material , well made , and a coot llko It Is well worth $5.00
or a dollar more.
The $5.50 Overcoat for young men up to 19 years of age , which were
$8.00 formerly , are well worth $10.00 wo doubt that better ones are to be
had at $10.00. Ours are of all wool Kersey , fast black , lined with Italian ,
trimmed , with a first rate velvet collar and that la all expected of a $10,00
overcoat.
Sack style extra long , ellk covered buttons and fly front , as a further
proof that they're new and of th ° very latest In vogue.
A sweep talc well worth patronizing If even you can't use It till next wlu-
etr You must surely come.
