IS ACCUSED OF KILLING BERT KORNEY
Attorneys for Defendant Indicate
Ther Will 8ek to Prove Rogers
Was in ' Chicago at lime
Crime Was Committed.
The trial of W. C. Rogers, charged with
the murder of Saloonkeeper Bert Forney
on the night of April 3 last, was begun In
tlte district court yesterday morning. The
work of securing a Jury proceeded slowly,
and it was nearly 6 o'clock In the evening
before the twelve men who will be called
upon to decide as to Rogers' guilt or inno
cence were finally selected and sworn. The
defense' exercised nine of Its ten chal
lenges while the state only exercised six.
Each Juryman was subjected to a search
ing examination as to hlB knowledge of
the circumstances of the crime with which
the defendant stood charged, also as to
his prejudice against capital punishment
or life Imprisonment.
The twelve Jurors Impaneled are: Law
rence Hansen, city, carpenter; William I
Moss, Silver Creek township, farmer; R.
B. Cnlllster, Garner township, farmer; C.
CI. Custer, city, railroad employe; F. J.

by Judge Thornell not to allow any per- '.
son to converse with them regarding the
trial or even to discuss it among them
selves. Defense an Alibi.
Rogers Is defended by W. II. Ware and
Mynster & Llndt, while the state Is rep-1
resented ty county Attorney KlllpacK and
Assistant County Attorney J. J. Hess, the ,
latter making the opening statement for '
the prosecution. That Rogers defense will
be an alibi was shown by Attorney Myns
ter in his opening staement to the Jury,
in wnicn ne saia n wouiu oe proven mai
Rogers was not in Council Bluffs the night '
of the murder of Forney and that this
would be p"oven by the clerk of the hotel
In Chicago whore Rogers stopped, by
reputable business men of Chicago and
by the conductor of the train on which
Rogers is said to have arrived In Council
Bluffs the day following the murder.
Rogers as he appeared in court yester
day presented a very different appearance
to whut he did when arrested. He Is
wearing a full beard, whereas at the time
of his arest he was clean shaven, and
nearly eleven months of confinement in the
county Jail has lent a pallor to his face, j
Attired In a neat, dark suit and with con
siderable care given to his toilet Rogers
looks altogether a different man to what
he did when arrested by Officer Callaghan.
He has the general appearance of a young
business man or clerk in place of the des
perate criminal he Is alleged to be.
The court room was crowded throughout
the day's proceedings and It was evident
from glances exchanged between them and
the prisoner that Rogers had a number of
friends in the crowd.
History of the Crime.
Bert Forney, who conducted the saloon
at 1028 West Broadway, was shot and killed
In his saloon shortly before 11 o'clock on
the night of April 3, 1903. James Chauey,
who was engaged In a game of cards with
Forney, was, so far as la known, the only
witness to the murder. According to the
story told by Chaney, he and Forney were
seated at a table playing cards, Forney
with his back to the rear door, when two
men with their faces masked entered by
the back door, covered them with revolvers
and ordered them to hold their hands up.
As Forney Jumped from his seat the rob
bers opened fire on him. The first shot
missed him, but, before he could reach the
front door, for which he was evidently
making, Forney fell dead with two bullets
In him. Chaney, according to his story, at
the first shot from the robbers rolled off
his chair onto the floor and the robbers
paid no attention to him. Immediately
after the shooting the two bandits ran out
of the back door and disappeared without
making any attempt to rob the saloon.
Rogers, against whom suspicion was di
rected, was arrested by Detective Callag
han next evening as he was leaving the
Evans laundry on Main street. When told
he was under arrest Rogers attempted to
draw a revolver which he was carrying
under his vest and trowsera band in front,
but Detective Callaghan had already drawn
his gun and under cover of his weapon
made Rogers walk to the city Jail. The re
volver which Rogers was carrying showed
that three of the chambers had tecently
been discharged and that the weight of
the bullets in the weapon corresponded with
those found in Forney's body.
Another Charge Asalust Him.
Rogers was also charned with holding up
and robbing Cburles W. Iittchford in his
meat market on Oouth Main street on the
night of March 2, and it was on this charge,
after Uetchfurd had Identified him as his
assailant, that he wu bound over to await
the action of the grand Jury. The grand
Jury, however, Ignored the charge against
him lu the Letchford case and returned an
Indictment on the charge of murdering
Forney. Rogers succeeded In having hi
case continued over two terms of court and
was anxious to have it again continued this
term, but the county attorney refused.
When first taken to the county Jail sev
era! attempts were made to photograph
Rogers, but he strenuously objected to hav
ing his picture taken and on each occasion
that lie was taken to the photographer's
ha succeeded in contorting his features so
as to make the pictures of little value.
In (he event of his being acquitted here
Rogers will be at once taken to Clinton,
la., where several Indictments are pending
agalimt him. It is alleged that Roger wo
a partner of Ueorge B. Uurrier In a num
be r of burglaries In that town for which
Burrler la now serving a llfteen-year sen
tence In the penitentiary at Anatnosa. L
E. Fay, brother of C. A. Fay, whose rest
dence in Clinton was robbed of I1.J00 worth
of diamonds, is an interested spectator at
Rogers' trial. Rogers is said to have forced
Mr. and Mrs. Fay at the point of a re
volver to give up the Jewelry. Burrler, in
a confession made before he was taken to
the penitentiary, implicated Rogers lu the
Clinton and other rubefies.
Arrested for Ckeek Deal.
David W. McCreary, holding a license as
a stationary engineer, was arrested last
evening charged with passing a forged
check, on Charles Hansen, proprietor of a
to pass a check for 9 50 made nut to James
Bcbee on the Council Bluffs Pavings hank
and purport' to he signed by Mike Sulli
van, a well known Broadway saloonkeeper,
on M. Marcus, the clothier. Marcus was
suspicious and telephoned Sullivan, who
stated that the check was evidently a for
gery and that he always signed his name
as "M. T. Bulllvan" and never ns "Mike
Sullivan." Mnrrus notified the police and
Captain Maltby overhauled McCreary at
the Oak saloon, where he had Just suc
ceeded In Inducing Proprietor Hansen to
cash a check similar to the one offered
Marcus. McCreary was taken to the city
Jail protesting that the checks were

II.AS FOR PAVISO WKST BROADWAY
City Connrll of Opinion omettiln
Mnst Be Done This Year.
The principal matter before the city
council last night was the paving of West
Rroartwnv from Thirteenth street to the
.nnrr,.h to the motor company's brlilpe.
After a lengthy discussion the matter was
referred to the committee of the whole,
which will meet Friday morning and drive
over the thoroughfare.
Alderman McDonald, to whom the matter
had been referred, spoke In favor of pav
ln not less than thlrty-slx feet of the
roadway and this he estimated would coBt,
with curbing, between tUO.000 and 1125,000,
or 18 to $10 a running foot. The distance
to be pared Is about two miles.
City Att6rney Snyder cited the law rela
tive to the right of the city to levy a tax
for the Improvement fund, which showed
that for such a purpose the city could levy
a tax of not exceeding 5 mills a year.
Heretofore the city has levied for the Im
provement fund 2 mills annually. The ad
ditional 3 mills that the city could levy
would produce about UO.OiA and the sug
gestion which met with most favor was
that a portion of Broadway be paved each
year, as much as the levy would warrant,
thus extending the carrying out of the
imnrntramrTit over a term of years. The
blocks from Twentietn to iwem-.i
street aro well built up and It was the
oDlnion of the aldermen that the abutting
property on this portion of the street would
be able to bear the assessment but that
on the rest of the street the city would
have to bear the greater part of the cost.
Alderman Ixjvett Btated that he had been
Informed that the West End Improvement
club expected to be able to raise about
$12,000 by subscription towards the cost of
.ha nivlntf The consensus of opinion of
aiderrnen was that something should
bdone towards placing this, the principal
thoroughfare between Council Bluffs and
Omaha, in a passable condition.

The request for a sewer on High School
avenue east of Third street was referred to
the committee of the whole.
Alderman Ixugee, chairman of the Judi
ciary committee, was authorized to settle
the personal Injury damage claim of Mrs.
Fltxgerald for 50. . Mrs. Fltrgerald fell on
a bllppery sidewalk on South Seventh
street December 15 last. The personal
Injury claim of Irwin Davis for a fall bus-
, talned at Tenth street and Broadway was
referred t0 the jlldlclary committee. The
amount claimed by Mr. Davis was not
stated.
The committee of the whole will meet
Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

Iowa City Water Impnre.
IOWA CITY. Is., Feb. 15. (Special.)
The water supplied by the Iowa City
Water Works company has been declared
unfit for use unless It has been holled for
fifteen minutes. This ultimatum, issued
by the Board of Health so soon sfter I"r.
Andrews' attack on the milk Fupply, has
left the I'unlverslty City with nothing to
drink hut the product of the hrewerles.
The Iowa City water works people are
not blamed for the deplorable conditions
which now exist. Their supply Is taken
from the Iowa river at this point, and after
being forced through great filters Is sent
Into the pipes. During the lust few months
the company has been called upon to sup
ply more water than the niters are able
to purify and the result is that water has
been furnished, unknown to the company,
which Is not flt to drink.

MINISTERS TAKING A HAND
Those of Dei Moines Adopt Besolntioui
Fatoring 8tete Marshal Bill.
MORE MONEY WANTED FOR SOLDIERS' HOME
State Board of Control Stands by Its
Former Report Hennrdlne; loca
tion of the State School
for the Drat.
(From a Staff Correspondent.) f
DES MOINES, Feb. 15 (Special.)-The
Des Moines Ministerial association today
went on record as in favor of the state
niarshall bill which Is being pressed upon
the legislature by A. C. Rankin of Chicago,
Which provides for a constabulary for the
tui iiurnnae nf enforcement of the
prohibitory llciuor laws In those counties
whero the laws are not Btrlctly enforced
owing to adverse public sentiment. The
ministers adopted a statement of the case
prepared by Mr. Rankin setting forth the
need of a state-wide movement ior vim
enforcement of this law and that it was an
impossibility to enforce prohibitory laws
by relying on the local authorities. The
statement also mentions that over too min
isters of the state have already enrolled
themselves in the movement. The marshal
bill Is in the house and will be pressed
there first, and unless It passes the house
no efTort will be made to have It passed
through the senate. Mr, Rankin Ib here
and taking an active part In the movement
to secure the passage Of the law. Thus
far the measure has met with very little
encouragement In the legislature, but it
Is strongly backed.
Soldiers' Home Is Favored.
It is probable that the State Soldiers'
home at Marshalltown will receive a larger
appropriation for additional buildings and
improvements than that asked In the report
and recommendations of the Board of
Control. The visiting committee of the
Grand Army of the Republic, after having
paid an officiul visit to the home, went
before the appropriations committee of the
legislature and did the unusual by de
claring that the Board of Control had
been too modest eptlrely In Its askings and
that InBtead of $41,500 being sufficient the
sum should have been over $93,0n0. The
board has asked for money with which to
buy land, to build a kitchen, an addition
to the dining room of the hospital, for a
coal house, a burn and for ground Improve
ment. But the Grand Army committee de
clared that the ground nsked for Is not
enough and a largo tract should be se
cured now for future buildings of the homo,
and a larger sum for Improvement of the
ground and betterment of the equipment,
and al.o money for a quartermaster's
building and for an addition to the old peo
ple's cottage. This latter is where the old
soldiers live who have their wives with
them. Already there are applications for
admission to this department far in excess
of the facilities. The committee made a
strong presentation of the needs of the
home and it will likely result In an In
creased appropriation, even above that
sought by the Board of Control.
Banks Have Some Trouble.
The Pella Savings bank is In the hands
of a receiver owing to a misunderstanding
as to the management of the bank. W. P.
Vnnderpfloeg Is die receiver. He had made
arrangements some Ime ago to put In $20,
000 In the bank unit to take over some In
terests on condition that his Bon was to be
made cashier. Uy some misunderstanding
the change was not made and a crisis was
precipitated. It Is stated that the owners
of the bank are quite rich and there Is no
trouble in the hank other than the misun
derstanding. A private hank nt Corning suspended tem
porarily today. The suspension grew out
of a run on, the bank occasioned by agita
tion for legislation requiring that private
banks be subject to examinations.
Report on Deaf School.
The report of the State Board of Control
asked for by the legislature on the condi
tion of the buildings at the State Deaf
school and the advisability of securing a
new site, is now ready ond will be given
the legislature Tuesday. The board ad
heres to its position stated In the biennial
report to the effect that (he present site
should be greatly improved or a new one
secured, and states plainly the facts In re
gard to the attendance at the school as in-
i dlcating the need of a location More cen

cost of complete rebuilding of the school
The protest of the Council Bluffs Chamber

.lodges Earning Their Salaries,
The supreme court of Iowa has been turn
ing out decisions on appealed caves at the
rate of more than one a day each working
day for each one of the six Judges of the
court, and has kept this gait up the last
five weeks. Since January 12 the court has
rendered decisions In 194 cases. Many of
these opinions are complicated und Involve
investigation of scores of references, but
there has been no complaint among lawyers
of Inaccuracy, or at least not more than Is
usual. The Judges receive higher salaries
than ever before, or at leo-st Home of them
do, and they are young and active men
who are evidently trying to earn what they
get from the state. No such record of
speed in the determination of appealed
cas a has ever been made In Iowa before,
and it Is anticipated by the lawyers that
If the present strenuous pace of the su
preme court Is kept up a year or two the
court will have caught up with business
and be reudy to consider cases us rapidly
as they are prepared something not pos
sible for many years past.
Henderson Will Contribute.

women. Dr. Greene was muny years discovering and perfecting the medicine
which was finally offered to the world aa Nervura, and his earnest and skillful
