of witnesses from I.lmoln for tho dofetiso
were present, as was the plaintiff, Ur. I.nnK.
Tho rourt room wus fairly well filled with
prominent politicians and much Interest
vmik taken In the proceedlnpti.
JudRe KretMni?er, attorney for the plain
tiff, opened tho ease. Ho held that tho
plaintiff had never been relieved from the.
position of superintendent of tho Institute.
That no local notice of such removal had
been furnlHhetl him, but on tho other hand
ho held tho commission of tho governor of
Nebraska aplolntlng him to that office for
two years, beginning June C, ISS'J. Ur.
Lang was called und sworn.
Oeorge A. Murphy. attorney for
the defendant, Interpa-icd and Rtated that
tho defense docs not admit that Dr. hang
Is a qualified physician.
Or. Lang stated that he had lived In Ne
braska Hlxtcen yoars and that ho has prac
ticed medlclno In tho state for fourteen
years. He is a graduate of Tulte Medical
college, Cincinnati, O., and holds a diploma
of graduation from that Inntttute. Tho

medlclno during tho past year elsewhere
t'jan at the Institute for tho Feeble Minded
In thin city, to which place ho was ap
pointed a superlntemlcnt May 15, 18!,
and a later commission given him dated
June fi, 1899. Ho took possession of the In
stitute Juno 16, ISO!', and his commltnlon
ninn for two yearn. He had not been re
moved from olllco of superintendent for
cause. The first Intimation ho had of his
removal was on 'May 1", 11)00. His first
knowledgo was obtained In an artlclo In a
newspaper.
When Ilenrlnn Called nil 111 tit.
Dr. Dearlng called upon him about this
tim stating that he had a talk with tho
governor regarding his taking ehargc of the
Institution. This conversation between Dr.
Dearlng and tho governor was, witness
learned, about March 25, 1000. The- conver
sation between wltnc and Dr. Dearlng was
In May of the present year, after the reports
of Dr. Lang's removal had been published.
Thin was on Tuesday, before witness had
liiadu application for an Injunction. On
May 15 Mr. Stewart camo out to tho Insti
tute; with one- McKnteo. They had a letter
with them purporting to bo from tho gov
ernor, which they read to wltnetH at that
tlmo on tht porch of the Institute. Tho let
ter stated that Stowart was appolnti-d stew
ard of tho Institute, and hat ho was author
ized to Uiko chargo of tho Institute until
thu arrival of Dr. Dearlng, who had been
appointed tiuperlntendcnt to rollevo Dr.
Iing. Witness told them ho could not roc
ognlzo thorn In that capacity, as he was still
holding a commission from tho governor
making him superintendent, and that he
could not surrender until he had moro defi
nite authority from tho governor, which as
yot ho had not received. Witness 'told them
good-naturedly that If they wero better men
than him that they might take possession.
They talked along this lino pleasantly for
some llttloi time. Un to this tlmo witness
had not seen nor heard anything about his
removal except from tho newspaper reports.
On cross-examination the witness nnld he
had not filed his certificate as a physician
In this county, as he did not consider lie
atrlco his home. He had not practiced medl
clno or prescribed, except In a general way
In the line of his duty an superintendent at
tho Instltuto. Ho said he understood that It
wis not lawfully required that a certificate
should bn filed In thin county, when ho had
already filed ono authorizing him to prac
tice medicine In this state.
During redirect examination Lang stated
that ho had heard from people In Lincoln
that Governor I'oyntcr was scheming with
his office men to remove him from the olfU'p
of superintendent and that Dr. Dearlng was
to havo tho place. He said hln Informants
wero Hon. J. II. Mrsservo and Secretary of
State I'orter. These gentlemen had both
told wltnrts that the governor was deter
mined to remove him. This conversation
took place In tho office of the secretary of
state at Lincoln on March 23. Lang said
that Mr. Porter told Mm that It had leaked
out from Mr. McEnteo and Mr. Jewell,
clerks In tho governor's olllce, that It was
tho Intention to remove him. Utng did not
believe this at tho tlmo, because of tho
positive arsurances ho had from the gov
ernor. (invcriior on Stnuil.
Oovernor W. A. Poyntcr wan the next wit
ness called and sworn. Judge Letton asked
that tho answer of Oovernor I'oyntcr ns
ono of tho defendants to this caso, and
which samo had been filed, bo read. Attorney
Murphy read tho answer In full.
Mr. Kreslnger, attorney for Dr. Lang
then read, at tho request of Judgo Letton,
Dr. Utng's answer to tho governor's answer,
This answer denies every allegation made by
tho governor, and cites tho finding of Gov
emor I'oyntcr vindicating the plaintiff from
all tho charges Hied against him by Steward
MllllUen In tho Investigation held before tho
governor In March last. Ho admits that
lie did, on the 27th of March, 1900, sign a
certain resignation, with the clear under
standing that said resignation would not
bo published or acted upon.
Tho examination of tho governor then
proceeded. Ho said In substance that tho
charges against Dr. Lang wero filed with
him. and that ho had held a hearing on
the charges. Dr. Lang appeared In person

anl by counsel Thin examlna Ion was held
In Mar h last, the cxa't dale he could not
remember. About two days were con
sumed In the Investigation. The governor
then recognized the two documents as
oh'.wn him as bis findings In the case the
original and supplemental findings. The
original was dated March 23 and tho cup
plemental March 30. These wore the orig
inal findings made on the original charges.
Attorney Murphy read the findings known
n the nuppUmentary findings, wherein Dr.
Lang Is charged l'h Inc. ting trl:c and tur
moil In fie Institute, and orders his re
moval. Thteo i.re dated March 30. It states
further that at the dee of the Instigation
both the superintendent and steward ten
dered their resignations and that he
thought It best that both thould bo ac
cepted, and he did accept them both.
Tho governor continued that tils findings
were made two or three days after tho In
vestigation. The findings of the suplemental
decision were made two or three days after
tho original findings, and after Dr. Lang
camo up anl asked him what the flnllngs
were to be. Oovernor I'oyntcr said Dr.
Lang seemed to bo very much aggrieved,
but It was apparent to him that he roul 1
not get along at the Institute and It seemed
evident that he had lost control of tho In
stitution and that constant turmoil pre
vailed, there which he was unable to check
or control.
Aliniit l.llimS ltfnl:;tuitlfiii.
"At tho time of his visit to my olTlce,"
said the governor, "I took up a piece of
paper lying on the table and wrote out his
resignation, but tnado no definite date when
It should be operative. He wished me to
make the date June I. I told him trnt
It would not do, as the conditions at tho
Institute were su.-h that matters were very
annoying and becoming Intolerable and
that I would give him until May 15. The
doctor seemed very grateful for this and sail
to me. 'Governor, when tho tlmo comes
around for me to get out you will not find
me another Spraguc. I will surrender with
out a protest and will show my successor
around the Institute and give him all the
assistance I can.' Yes, the resignation was
accepted Immediately. I understand, Mr.
Kretslnger, what you would llko to havo
me say. My language may not be as gram
matical as yours, for you aro a lawyer and
I am but a plain farmer and am nit quite
up on technical answers, and must bo al
lowed to answer In my own language. No
conditions whatever wero attached to Dr.
Lang's resignation. I told hltn that Stew
nml MIMIken had already resigned. This
resignation was received by me March 21 or
25. Tho resignation of Dr. Lang has been
on fllo In my rlllce ever since It was given
to me. Tho findings I made havo been on
file In my olllco ever slnco they wore raado
and were In full force and effect from that
tlmo to tho present.
Dr. Hearing's appointment and delivery
of bond and oath have been filed with mo
and havo been approved. They were filed
prior to May 15. I have made no attempt
whatever to take forcible possession of the
institution.
"I did not publish tho resignation myself.
Tho newspapers did that. The reporters
came to my ofllco for news and Information
and they copied tho resignation thcro."
This ended the governor's testimony.
Dr. W. H. Hearing of Lincoln was called
and sworn. He stated that ho was one of
the defendants In this case and was the ap
pointee of Oovernor I'oynter ns superintend
ent of the Institute for feeble minded. He
was first at the Institution on Wednesday,
May 0. Ho had no commission at the time.
He did not make any attempt to tako for
cible possession of the Institution. Ho said
ho did not know that Mr. McEntee and Mr.
Stewart came down to tako possession of tho
Institute for him. Ho bad nothing to do
with their coming down from Lincoln.
Court then adjourned to 1:30 p. m.

Testimony In the Lang against Poynter
caso was concluded this evening. Poyntor
wns called In rebuttnl, as was also Lang.
Doth positively and emphatically denied
statements mude by the other regarding tho
resignation of Inng. Judgo Letton In sum
ming up said that the people of tho state
wero getting completely tired of these an
nual wrangles at the Inftltute for Feeble
Minded and the constant washing of dirty
political linen. He would bo compelled to
decide from tho evidence In favor of ths
defendant, as It appeared that Lang had
tendered his resignation, even though with
a string to It, and having made his bed ho
must He In It. Tho Injunction wns dis
solved. The plaintiff filed a motion for su
persedeas bond. The court granted the ap
plication and fixed a bond of $500. This
continues Inng In possession until a hear

LINCOLN', May 25. (Special ) It Is the
general opinion of politicians here that tho
ncmlnntlon of O. V. Iierge. a populist, as
the fusion candidate
ji-iiut dlnrlet hiM put an end to the nsplt.i-
i-iis oi i ongressman Sutherland toward a
third term from tho Fifth district. The
democrats have been very insistent
in regard to the equal division of
thcfio plaeta between their rnrty and the
ticpullstu and Mr. Ilerge's nomination gives
the latter their share, three districts. In
the Klrst. l-'ntirth mui yiviv, .n. ..,. .
lists aro nn.v conceded nominations. So the
uemocntia will insist on the naming of their
mnn, A. ('. Shallenbargor, In the Fifth dis
trict in place of Sutherland.
Kven so the democrats will be none too
well satlnlled. True, they will have the
stipulated three, but It Is conceded that there
Is no hope lor tho n mlnee In the Second
district, as that Is admittedly strongly re
publican. This feeling In Increased 'by the
further fact that of the four fuslonlsts now
In congress from this state but ono is a
democrat. That one Is Mr. Urbinson of the
Third district. In regard to Mr. Herges
nomination and Mr. Sutherland's consequent
P'-sltlon a prominent populist said tid.iy.
"Ilerge's nomination kills Sutherland; that
Is pretty certain. We have been hnvlng
rather a gcod thing of It In the matter of
congressmen, nnyhnw, with our three ftwlmi
members out of four In the lower houv. It
la only fair that the democratic should have
their man In the Fifth. Sutherland has been
a fairly good man, although he lacks energy.
For this reason ho has not made any great
reputation. He Is not sulllclently positive.
If he ha convlctlotiK he does not naairt
them very Htrenuuusly. Partially fcr this
rca.1011 he is not In touch with the leaders
cf bin own party In that d!ntrlct and the
populists themselves will be apt to turn him
down, especially as they now have a good
excuse for doing It.
"Senator Allen told us at Sioux Falls that
he and Sutherland had come back from
Washington to advise us how to vote In
order to benefit the cause mrnt materially.
Allen stood by hl ideas, but Sutherland,
after traveling that distance to tell uh what
to do, went lltt to a leader from hln own
district and sounded him before ho took a
stand."
CONVICT FAILS TO ESCAPE

LINCOLN. May 25. (Special )-Oeorge
Dunken, a colored convict from Omaha,
created n sensation at the penitentiary last
night by an attempted escape. When tho
tally wns taken at tho evening meal Dun
ken was discovered to bo missing and for
fifteen hours all efforts to find him or get
even a clue to his whereabouts were futile.
He was finally discovered this morning ly
ing In an unused holler In the engine room.
Dunken was sent down from Omaha four
months ago to serve a ten-year sentence,
for holding up a man on Dodgo street.
For tho last few days ho has been working
on tho outside. Yesterday he wns repair
ing a portion of tho roof on a shed In the
rear of the broom factory. Unseen by the
guards, ho slipped down inside the oulldlng
and crawled under the lloor, loosening a
couple of boards and replacing them utor
ho was safely underneath. Thero ho re
mained for hours.
Dunken had not anticipated that his ab
sence would be noticed so soon. During
the noon hour ho had constructed n dummy
which ho left In his cell to deceive the pa
trolman on his night rounds. Rut this ruso
wns Ineffective, for his absence was dis
covered long before bedtime. A search was
at once begun nnd Dunken's fellow work
men carefully questioned. Another convict
remembered seeing him about 5 o'clock In
tho afternoon, but that was the last record
of him. A search of the hulldln? where he
had last worked was Instituted and they ex
amined the Hoor under which ho win.
Dunken took the alarm and slid to the other
side of the building, where he crawled out
and ran. He was still unseen and made his
way undetected to the engine house, crawl
ing Into an old nnd unused boiler. Thero he
lay till 8 o'clock this morning, when he
was finally discovered.
