I.BXINOTO.V. Neb.. March 11. (Special
Telegram.) The third day of the Dlnsmore
murder casn began this morning by com
pleting tho Jury panel. After three ehal-
bngid for cause the twelvo men were sworn
in to try the cause and derldo tho fate of tho
defendant. All are farmers.
K A. Nyo, county attorney, niado the
opening statement to the Jury, reciting the
circumstances of thu alleged crime, describ
ing tho Iaue residence and closing with n
feeling allusion to a ruined homo at tho
hands of a ruthless ussassln, who deserved
tho Heverest penally that the law could In
lllel. death.
N'orrls Drown opened for the defendant, re
citing the good chararter and standing of
the defendant, his happy marriage to Lillian
Hloomfleld of Chicago, whom ho loved as Ills
wn life and that It was Imposelblo for him
to have committed the crime.
The attendance upon tho trial exceeded
that of tho two previous days by far, every
foot of standing room being occupied from
pit to dome.
Tho first sensation of tho day was caused
by the mother of Mrs. I.auc taking a fit of
hysterics, so violent that she bad to be car
ried from the courtroom and medical aid
summoned.
TcNllmoii)' of Dr. Ilrll.
Mr Dell wan tho first witness called. He
testified to being called by telephone to
Odessa on tho night of tho tragedy by Dins
more. He had found tho bodies and gave It
us his opinion that Ijiuc could not have
been shot In the position found. Ho Illus
trated tho courst of the bullet by exhibiting
a skull to the Jury with the crown taken off.
I to created ;i profound sensation when, in
answer to n question by Norrts llrown hb to
how the blood would How from a wound In
tho temple, ho Illustrated the samo by lying
prono upon tho floor, and having tho at
torney place his head In position.
Ur. Cameron was tho next witness. lie ns
ntcd Dr. Hell In making tho post-mortem
examinations und corroborated tho former's
tcHtlmony.
II. F. TusBoy, the next witness, testified
that ho was county commissioner of Iluffalo
.nuntv and was called up at midnight De
cember 1, by Dlnsmorc, who said, "For
timi's sake, como to my house! Fred has
killed my wlfo and shot himself." Mo then
inllcd his brother nnd Constable Ireland
and went to tho Lauo residence and found
the dead bodies. Ho stated that Lauo was
a mild-mannered man; that he had known
him twelve years. Ho also described finding
ihe revolver under n chair eight Inches
from the bevL On cross-examination he Bald
he did not talk to Dlnsmorc at all after
h-lna called up.
Constable Ireland was tho next witness.
He eorroborated Tussey's evidence and said
lie put Dlnsmoro under arrest and took pos
uestdon of the revolver. He also examined
the bodies carefully, llndlng them rigid and
rnlil.
Chris Moore testified that tho pistol found
tintt tirrn seen bv blm before the muruer in
ninsmoro's Dosscsslon, which was corrobo-
.ni.. i hv I'.vim N'eal.
Henry Jordan testified that ho examined
the bod upon which the body of Laue lay
and that there was a depression on ine pu
tiirnn Inchcu deep near Lauo's head, In
....line Mint thn body had been moved
nflni. hplnff Hhot.
John Roll and John Sears testified as to
Lauo's dlspreltlon. habits ana nusmcbs can
Inir
Joseph Itoscnbaum sworn that he was at
tho Lauo lesldence tno evening 01 me mm
iinr nml that the family was preparing sup-
n.r nil tlm Innintt of the houmj being
niwspiit. nnd apparently happy.
The next sensation was the introduction
of two children of .Mrs. I-aue, draco, aged
12. and. Henry, aged 8. Kvery one In tho
miflleiicp nrreo to their feet during their
testimony, which was only to prove that
their father owned no gun. tney naving
slept soundly all through tho night of tho
traguly.
Mm. I.iiup TnUea tin Stnnil.
Fallowing the children's testimony Mrs
Lauo was Introduced. The vast crowd who
dcelrcd to look upon her countenance wcro
doomed to disappointment. She was dressed
in black from head to foot; her eyes were
covered with spectacles and over her cntiro
face a thick, bluck veil, utterly and com
plotcly shutting every feature from the gazo
of tho Jury us well as tno puDllc. ine reason
given for this was that she did not wish
Dlnsmorc, who In said to have hypnotized
her heretofore, from being permitted to look
at her and by means of his power prevent
her evidence. Whether this be the true
reason or not will bo developed later.
Her evidence was highly sensational
throughout. She admitted having Improper
relations with Dlnsmore, beginning May ilj
anil continuing at Intervals up to tho day of
tho crime. She said that tho plan of killing
Mrs. Dlnsmoro and Frcl Lauo was Drat pro
potted In September, again In October and
ag.t!n thn night It was accomplished; that
she never lit any time, told her husband
either of tho Illicit Intercourse or tbo plan
to murder, as Dlnsmoro threatened her own
life If ohe did. The plan was to choko the
one. shoot tho other and have It appear as
n suicide.
A portion of tho time her answers were
rendlly given; at others, especially on crces
examination, she hrsltatcd considerably
Slin said that Dlnsmore boarded with her
family from August. 189S, to the time of bis
marriage, July 20. ISM, after which both
boarded thoro to the night of December 4
Court adjourned at S:30 till tomorrow
morning, when tho examination of Mrs. Laue
will bo resumed.
At least one-third of the. audience today
were women.

LINCOLN, Mnrch 1 1. (Special.) During
tho last f"v days there has been consid
erable activity in the popoirntlc camps, and
at tho state house politics Is now the solo
topic of conversation. The number of can
didates for state unices Is Increasing dally
and much talk of trades, combines and com
promises Is heard, nnd with this are the
loud warnings of llie democrats, who are de
termined to make .t fierce light In the con
ventions for a larger share of the nomina
tions than they havo heretofore bad. So
decided are the democrats In Insisting on
receiving more than one olllce that the pop
ulists havo practically conceded the nom
ination for treasurer, but further than this
they havo made no advances. In fact, th
popullits are not saying very much at this
stage of the game, and probably will not
until they have their plans well laid. An
other noticeable and somewhat remarkahle
feature r.f the present situation is that three
state olTlcers are being mentioned as pros
pective candidates for congress. In addi
tion two deputy state officers iiro candidates
to surceed their present chiefs
The report that (Jovernor Poyntcr woull
beromo n candidate for the congrcssloml
nomination In the Third district, to succeed
Robinson, who Is now serving his first term,
has occasioned considerable comment, and
as the governor has not yet seen fit to deny
the report. It Is given considerable credence
by some people Secretary of State Porter
has for several months been laying the
foundation for a campaign for tho same
nomination, hut In this rity it !s not believed
that cither of them could be successful, fiir
the reason that the democrats form the big
end of fusion In the Third rtlstrlrt. How
ever, a llttlo talk Is heard of n plan by which
tho democrats of that section of the 3t:te
are to trado tho nomination for congress for
an Important position on tho state ticket
probably the governor and (lovernor Poyn
tcr Is looked upon as the man who would
bo named If such u plan was evor carried Into
effect. Apparently the Third district dem
ocrats havo confidence In Robinson and
thoso of tho same political persuasion In
this city believe that he will bo renom
inated, notwithstanding tho light that Is
now being mado by populists to secure the
nomination.
As to tha nomination for governor on the
fusion ticket very little has been said. The
supporters of Poyntcr fear trouble from
Douglns county populists, nnd they wocld
not bo surprised to sco the delegation ?rom
that county cast Its vote for John O. Yelser.
whom they regard a perennial candidate. C.
J. Smyth Is also looked upon as a possible
candidate, on tho democratic side, but the
populists do not fear very much trouble In
securing tho nomination for one of their own
number.
Mcserve A I inn nl ConnrcKii,
Tho other stato officer who is reported to
havo nsplrattons for congress Is J. B. Mo-
serve. Thoro Is a disposition on tho part of
a few populists to concede this position to
the democrats and on the other hand there
Is a strong probability that Sutherland will
ho renominated, conditions which would
raako it difficult for Meservo to secure the
fusion nomination.
For secretary of state the candidates who
havo appeared In the field are; O. C
Wesner, now deputy under Secretary Por
ter: Elmer Thoma3 of Douglas county and
Oeorgo W. Berge of this city, all being pop
ullstR. Tho latter was twice defeated for
tho congressional nomination in tho First
district.
Tho candidates for auditor are: Edgar
Howard of Sarpy county, "Doc" Hall of
Meail nnd W. II. Dccrlng of Plattsmouth.
Mr. Hnll Is now secretary of the State
Banking board and Is familiarly referred to
as tho "brainy democrat of Saunders
county."
Following are the names of a few addi
tional candidates: Land commissioner,
Nick Fritz. Ponder; J. II. Wright, Nuckolls;
attorney general, W. D. Oldham, Lexington;
superintendent of public Instruction, C. F.
Beck; treasurer, 0. II. Lulkhart, Norfolk
James Patterson. Plattsmouth.
