ATTORNEY COM ACOUlTTEi ) Om ha Lawyer Cleared of the Charge of Subornation of Pcrjurj , ' JURY IS OUT ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES Cn r > of .T. A , OrrKorshn Shot Con- fllnlile Atnnn nt tui plntul , IN Con- lliiucil Notc-K of the Hn- porlor Court. W. P. Cowan , the joung Omaha attorney , was aciiultted yesterday afternoon In the district court of the charge of subornation of perjury. The case was given to the Jury about 3 o'clock anil fifteen minutes later that body summoned the court bailiff and Informed him It had arrived nt Its verdict. As It had not been expected that the Jury would reach a verdict In such a short space of time , the attorneys for the state and defense and Cowan had left the court house and It was close on half an hour before they could bo got together to hear the findIng - Ing of the jury. As soon as the verdict was read Cowan stepped forward , thanked the Jury and court and .shook hands with the jurors. Ho then left the court house In company with his attorneys and friends. Cowan was charged with Inducing Robert Johnson , a witness In the trial of Lawrence and Tracy , two Omaha men convicted of chicken stealing lost Tebruary , to give false testimony. This was Cowan's second trial , the jury on the former occasion having failed to reach an agreement. Young John son , the main witness against Cowan and a self-confessed perjurer , has an Indictment for perjury banging over his head , but as he Is not believed to be wholly mentally responsible , H Is doubtful If ho will ever be placed on trial OrcK r > * ii Cn c Co en Over. The attorney for J. A Gregory , the horec- thlef and desperado who shot Constable Moss of lx > veland , filed n motion for a con tinuance of the trial of his client and Judge Green put It over until the January term. Gregory claimed that owing to his being laid up with a wounded leg for some time -lie had been unable to prepare his defense and further that his witnesses lived out of the state and he had been unable to reach them. Gregory , when Informed yesterday mornIng - Ing that hfe trial would follow the comple tion of the Cowan case , became ugly and told Jnller Morgan that he would never be taken Into the court room alive. "There ate not enough sheriffs to take me Into the coifrT room , " he said. From his demeanor , it was evident that If his case had not been continued he would have attempted to have carried out his threat and in all probabil ity he would have had to be carried Into the court room. A special watch will be kept at the county jail , as It is the belief of the authorities that Gregory's motive for having his trial continued la that lie hopes to find some means through the as sistance of his friends on the outside to make his escape. Since bis ancst he has frequently made the threat that he will never be taken to the penitentiary alive. The continuance of Gregory's trial disposed of the criminal docket for this term and the hearing of cases on the civil calenjlar will bo resumed this morning. In tlic Superior Court. The trial of the suit of J. n. Beach , a banker of Hamburg , la. , against Mrs. H. C. Iliehardson of Mills county , was commenced In the superior court yesterday morning , but an agreement was reached and a verdict or dered entered for the plaintiff before the case reached the Jury. Beach sued to le- covej on notes to the amount ot $2,000 which had been sold to him by J. J. Gravatte of this city. These notes were given by Mrs , . Richardson for 3,700 fruit trees which she had purchased from Gra vatte , but she resisted payment , alleging that at the time she bought the trees Gra- vatto agreed that no collection was to bo made on them until the orchard was bear- Ing. At the last term of district court in Mills county Mra. Richardson bpcuretl the Indictment of Gravatto on the charge of ob taining money by false pretenses. After the evidence tad been submitted yesterday and It being shown that Beach was an inno cent purchaser of the notes , an agreement was ordered whereby a verdict for the plaintiff was given for $1,610. A similar suit brought by the Union Transfer company against Mra. Richard son to recover on notes to the amount of $367 tranbferred to It by Gravatte , was dis missed and a verdict for the amount en tered for the plaintiff company.

It proved to bo a communication from J. P. Miller & Co. , regarding the city lighting proposition , but not a bid Tbo communication addressed to X. C. Phillips , city clerk , was as follows1 "Dear Sir. Inasmuch aa this communica tion does not meet the requirements of the city's published notice for bids for a munl"l- p.il lighting plant wo cannot hope that It will bo formally accepted as atich Our purpose in ecndlng It Is to give notice to the mayor and city council that wo stand ready to open negotiations with them with the view of supplying such a plant to ilia city. Our Eolo reason for not bidding formally for the construction of the plant as we did on a former occasion IB the pres ent condition of the market for bonds for competing light plants. These have never been looked upon by Investors as the most drslrablo securities , and since the present tightening condition of the money murk t they have become unsaleable at anything like a fair price We arc , however. a ready as ever to build n plant for the city of Coun cil Bluffs on any terms which will make It safe for us to do t > o , "J.
