Somo months ago u young man who rep
resented himself to bo an unpublished Un
gllsh nuthor In tore straits submitted n
manuscript to O. P. Putnam's Sons. After
tho usual formalities the work was accepted.
Tho author desired that his nnlne should ap
pear on tho tltlo pago as "Qeorgo L. Mey
ers." Tho book Is now nt hand, bearing tho
tltlo of "Aboard tho American Duchess." A
few days after Its Issue tho publishers wero
Informed that "Alioard tho American
Duchess" was In reality Identical with "Tho
Qucon of Night," a uovel written by Mr.
Hendon Hill nnd published in London, savo
that "Mr. Meyers" had changed tho sceno
of action to Now York. Thereupon tho pub
lishers sent an honorarium with explana
tions to Air. Hill, who Is well known In
Knglaud nnd Australia as tho author of
"Oullty Hold,'' "Zambrn. the Detective," and
"Tho Itajnh's Second Wife." "Tho Queen
of 'NlBh(.'"1s noncopyrighted In this country,
ho Mr. Hill will probably feel gratified when
ho receives tho unexpected message. If not
n writer, Mr. Meyers can certainly claim to
b u good Judge of literature, as ho selected
h good story to steal. It goes without say

their father's oxllo llfo In Poland, whero
they wero born and reared, for tho scono cf

boys, us thoy nro tho chief actors and heroes.
Tho nuthor has evidently endeavored to sur

character uscrlbed to them In history. Tho

Tho young English wrltor known to the
public chiefly as a. teller of stories, A. T.
Qulllcr-Couch, has presented to tho public
a now volumo bcnrlng tho title, "Historical
Tales from Shakespeare." Tho nuthor hn.-i
acted upon tho nssumptlcn that nowhere. In
spito of many Inaccuracies, can historical
pictures bo found so vivid or In the mnln so
just as In tho historical plays of Shakes
peare. Experience, howover, has shown that
many rendors tight shy of them, nnd so miss
much which might quicken their Interest In
history being deterred perhaps by tho dra
matic form. Ho has, therefore, endeavored
not so much to extract pleasant nnd
profltnblo stories, as ono might from tho
masterpieces of Shakespeare's Invention, hut
rather to follow him Into his dealings with
history, where things cannot b forced to
happen so neatly as In n made-up tale, and
to pcrsundo his readers that history Is by
no means a dull business when handled by
ono who marvellously understood tho htw
mnn henrt and was able to put lifo Into tho
figures of men und women long passed away.
It Is n volumei that will be appreciated by
such readers as would like to know morn of
tho plays of Shakespeare but find tho his
torical plays rather dull reading. Charles

Two Partly Filled Bottles Are Hate Wit
nesses to a Christmas Tragedj,
SECOND DAY OF THE DERR MURDER TRIAL
Ui Idrnce llrlilUN to Unlit a Story of
llncc IiiiiiiiIIiiii Itcvelry In Crle
lirndoii of tilotlilo Wil
li n m nine's Story.
On a table In Judge Baker's court room
stand two gaudily decorated bottles, partly
filled with whisky. It Is tho remnant of
tho Cuirstmas liquor that Indirectly led to
tho tragic death of. Thomas Flaherty, who
was shot by Frank Derr In South Omaha
on the night of December 21.
Tho evidence. In tho Derr murder case is
a story of bacchanalian revelry and the
small quantity of liquor thnt was not con
sumed on that fatal night was brought Into
court by tho attorneys as further support to
tho testimony of tho witnesses who tell of
tho drinking bout. Tho bottles have been
Identified ns thoso from which Flaherty nnd
his companions drank Just prior to tho
shooting.
Derr nppeared even more pnllld than usual
yesterday nt tho opening of court. Ho
Is visibly nervous. His wife, who sits by
him constantly, Is more calm, but tho do
voted woman shuddered when sho looked
upon tho whisky. Sitting alongside tho ta
ble, she was very near tho bottles, and that
seemed to worry her. Ono of tho attorneys
pushed tho bottles awny to the other end of
tho table.
Iltiic on tin- Wltnmn Mtiuid.
William Hlne, who formerly occupied a
furnished room nt tho Derr homo In South
Omaha, was tho chief witness of tho fore
noon. He was with Flaherty on tho night
of tho killing. In substnnco ho said that ho
had Invited a party of friends to his room
for a Christmas celebration. Flaherty was
among tho number. They had several bot
tlos of liquor nnd Intended having a good
time, tho witness said. After thoy had Im
bibed to n point of hilarity Derr appeared
and on his authority as landlord ho re
quested tho revellers to bo quiet, so Kino
testified. Kino replied tnut nothing particu
larly wrong had occurred: thut It was simply
n Jolly party of young men, having good
natured fun, but, ho added. "Wo will va
cate If It is your desire." Just then, as
Rlne related It, ho touched Flaherty on the
shoulder and told him they would leave.
Flaherty nroso from his seat and In accord
ance with a habit of long standing, shoved
his hands Into tho sldo pockets of his coat,
which, Kino declares, was his natural way
of walking. Derr surmised that Flaherty
had n weapon nnd so accused hltn. "Ucforo
Flaherty had tlmo to reply," said Rlne, "I
told Derr that ho did not havo a pistol and
I undertook to convince him by slapping
each ono of Flaherty's pockets with my open
hand. I demonstrated positively that Fla
herty was unarmed, but Derr seemingly took
no notice of It nnd fired two shots. Flaherty
exclaimed: '.My God, I am shot!' and at
tho samo tlmo ho grappled with Derr. I
left the room for a moment and, returning,
I took Flaherty across tho street to the
room I am now occupying. Ho was able to
walk, but soon became weaker."
Kino was subjected to severe cross-exnm-lnutlon,
but ho stuck closely to his original
story. At ono point of his evldenco tho at
torneys required him to givo an Illustration
of how ho searched Flaherty Tar a weapon.
One of tho lawyers stood up nnd Kino went
through tho motions of searching his pock
ets. Several witnesses were examined during
tho afternoon session, among them being
Captain Allio nnd other members of the
South Omaha pollco force. They testified
simply to the statements which they Bald
wero mndo to them by Derr immediately
after tho shooting. They wero unable to
throw any material light on tho subject. At
tho conclusion of tho pollco testimony tho
state rested Its case.
Dr. W. S. Whlto was the first witness for
the defense. He said he saw tbo defendant
In tho city Jnll In South Omaha the day
following tho shooting nnd that he was
suffering from injuries which npi.earcd to
have been Inflicted in a struggle. Mrs.
May Antrim, who occupied rooms at tho
Derr home, told about tho disturbance made
by Flaherty and others on the night of the
shooting. Sho heard Derr ask them to
keep quiet or get out. Sho also heard
them ask Derr to tako a drink. They
seemed Inclined to carousal. Mrs. Antrim
also heard Mrs. Derr ask them to leave.
Cross-examination by tho county attorney
failed to confuse the witness to any ex
tent. An unexpected feature of tho afternoon
was the announcement by tho defense that
It Intends to try to Impeach tho testimony
of William Kino, tho star witness of tho
forenoon.

Member (J. O. Irey vacant nnd elected in
hU stead Morris Levy, president of the
Nebraska Clothing company. In tho In
formal ballot bis namo received six votes,
tLrco wero cast for General C. F. Mander
son nnd ono for C. C. lleldcn. Tho term
will cxplro with tho calendar year.
Tho call under which tho board assem
bled mentioned tho continued absence of
Member 0. 0. Irey and Invited such action
as might Beom proper In connection there
with, It was nlso stated that tho Investi
gating commltteo would report regarding
an inquiry into tho conduct of certain
membrs.
A resolution was Introduced by Member
Smith providing that lrcy's seat should bo
declared vacant In accordance with tho
cnartor of metropolitan cities. Tb. rulo
referred to specifics that four uu
oxensed nbsences shall amount to
a forfeiture of oillcc. Penfold
believed that tho action should bo deferred
until after tho submission of tho Investiga
ting committco's report. Ho suld that in
ordinary courtesy to a fellow member Iroy's
expulsion should go over until nnothcr meet
ing. Teal also deprecated tho apparent
hnsto and both members voted against the
resolution. It passed, however, by the fol
lowing nftlnuativo vote: Smith, Howard,
Ilarnurd, Wood, Johnson, Thomas and Bur-
gCFS.
On motion of Barnard tho board proceeded
to tho election of Iroy's successor. Wood
nominated C. C. Beldcu, whom ho described
as n clean, competent business man who
would glvo cliarapter to the board. Penfold
presented tho namo of General C. F. Man
dcrsou, whom ho said had previously shown
an Interest In educational matters and would
bo an Invaluable acquisition to tho board.
Barnard nominated Levy without comment.
Tho vote stood as follows: For Lovy Bar
nard, Black, Johnson, Smith, Thomas, Bur
gess; for Manderson Howard, Penfold,
Teal; for Bcldcn Wood. Mr. Levy was
thereupon declared elected.
Tho Investigating commltteo reported that
It had not yet finally agreed upon Its find
ings with reference to Cowle, Irey, Scars and
Hess nnd usked further time.
Tho board then adjourned nnd Informally
discussed plans for tho new High school
building. Architect Lntenscr explained a
now plan, by which It Is proposed to con
struct tho new structure In the form of nn
east wing, using two stories of tho old build
ing nnd tho tower.
Levy Sin y Not Accept,
When Mr. Levy wan apprised of his elec
tion ho expressed somo surprise, as the
honor had como to him unsought. He said
that tho matter had been broached to him
by ono or two members, but he did not look
upon himself us a serious possibility. Mr.
Levy said ho appreciated the compliment,
and did not wish to ehirk what he might
construe to bo his duty as u citizen. At
tho samo time, ho said, tho demands upon
his time nre such as to leave him llttlo
lelsuro for outsldo duties. Ho will probably
not glvo tho board an answer until Its noxt
meeting night, nnd will tuko the matter
under consideration In tho meantime.
