ARGUMENT IN ROGERS CASE
Case W:ll Probably B3 Given to the Jnrj
Soma Time Today.
DEFENDANT TESTIFIES IN OWN BEHALF
Relates In Detail the Incident nf Ills
faying Cash Fare to Conductor
on i Northwestern
Train.
The trial of W. C. Rogers for the murder
of Saloonkeeper Pert Forney is drawing
to a close In the district court and the case
will be given to the Jury, It Is expected,
some time this afternoon. All the evidence
Is In and the opening arguments for the
stale and defense were completed when
court adjourned last evening.
Rogers himself went on the stand In the
morning and told the story of how on the
night of the murder, as he claims, he was
a passenger from Chicago to Council Bluffs
on a Northwestern train. Beyond telling
this and denying ever having been In the
penitentiary either in Iowa, Ohio or else
where, and In fact ever having been ar
rested, he refused to testify. While on the
stand be was cool and collected.
Regarding his trip from Chicago to
Council Bluffs, and especially the part of
his having paid a cash fare and received
a conductor's receipt, he said that after
leaving Clinton the conductor demanded
16.10, the amount of the fare between Clin
ton and Boone. Rogers said he offered the
conductor three silver dollars, saying to
him: "Well that Is $3 for me and K for
you." But the conductor Informed him
that that was not the way he did business
and that they did not cut fares, Rogers
said he then produced a roll of bills und
handed the conductor a $10 bill and received
hla change und the receipt for the cash
tare.
Conductor Connors was recalled and lie
testified that ho remembered the Incident
and conversation related by Rogera. On
cross-examination the witness said he did
not think one of Rogers' pals and not
Rogers himself could have had the con
versation with him. At the same time the
witness would not state that the defendant
was the man who paid him the cash fare
and with whom he had the conversation.
F.vldenee In Itebattal.
Former Detective Callaghan, the officer
who arrested Rogers, was recalled by the
state to Identify RogerB' grip, taken from
the Kiel hotel. He testllled that Rogers
admitted to htm that the grip belonged to
him. Callaghan also testified that he had
seen J. Boenert, the Chicago witness, at
Lake Manawa during the Hummer of 1902
In or about the gambling house. The wit
ness was asked whether this was at the
same time that Rogers was conducting a
snake show and Jewelry stand at the lake,
but the question was ruled out on objection
from the defense.
Another witness offered in rebuttal by
the state was ex-Police Officer A. A. Kirk,
who testified to seeing Rogers twice the
same evening a day or two before the
murder of Forney. He safd the first time
he saw him was In the Jarvls Wine com
pany's saloon on Main street, after his
attention had been called to him by Detec
tive Callaghan. Later on the same day
he saw him on Broadway In front of the
Council Bluffs Savings bank In company
with Charles, alias "Dutch," Stevenson,
who is now serving a Jail sentence for his
share In the riot at the county Jail the
night threats were made by a mob to lynch
the negro assailants of Mrs. Starks and
Mrs. Sanders.
Former Deputy Sheriff J. C. Baker Identi
fied a photograph of himself. Former Dep
uty Sheriff Knox and the prisoner. This
photograph was taken unawares to Rogers
while he was being taken back to the
county Jail after an unsuccessful attempt
to take a picture of him had been made
at a local gallery, owing to his contorting
his features. It Is claimed this Is a photo
graph which was shown to Conductor Con
nors and wi tch Connors said did not re
semble the man to whom he gave the cash
fare receipt. Baker also testified to a
conversation he had with C. A. Young,
the Chicago witness, when Young called at
the county Jail to see Rogers. He testified
that Young told him that he had met Rogers
In Omaha while Rogers was selling Jew
elry at the exposition.
Experts in Writing;.
C. C. Ppooner of the First National bank
and Theodore Laskowskl of the Council
Bluffs Savings bank were Introduced by
the state as experts on handwriting. Both
gave it as their opinion that the signa
ture of "Flank Parsons, Burlington," on
the register of the Hotel ,I.e Grand, Chi
cago, were not written by the same person.
The last witness placed on the stand was
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Groneweg, who was
called upon to Identify certain photo
graphs in evidence.
AsKlstant County Attorney Hess In his
opening argument occurred one hour and
a half and was followed by Attorney Myn
stcr for the defense. Mr. Mynster In his
argument discredited the evidence of James
Chaney, the eye witness of the crime and
openly Insinuated that Chaney was the
man who committed the deed. "In order
to clear his own skirts, Chaney neces
sarily hud to lay the crime upon another,"
he told the Jury. He also discredited the
Idea that men intent upon robbery would
commence shooting as quick as they en
tered the place they planned to rob. as
Chaney testified the bandits who shot For
ney did.
Lodge Hold Entertainments.
Members of the Council Bluffs lodge of
Klks enjoyed an old-fashioned stag social
lust night, for which the entertainment
commit lee provided an interesting and
varied, program. Secretary Trout man

acted as master Of ceremonies. An amus
ing number of the evening's prog-"m was
a four-round boxing contest between two
little colored lads named Henry Douglas
and Earl Edwards, both of this city, who
displayed considerable science. The Broad
way church choir quartet rendered several
pleasing selections and solos were con
tributed by W. 8. Rlgdon and Ned Mit
chell. Joe Smith made his debut as a re
citer, as did Wilson Squire as a monologue
artist. Carl Relter of the Omaha Orpheum
told a number of his Inimitable stories
and as usual brought the house down. The
Evans brothers rendered several selec
tions on mandolins and Roy McPherson
contributed a clever stunt In buck and wing
dancing. All In all the program was one
of the best ever offered at the lodge's so
cial sessions. Liquid and other refresh
ments of a more solid character were
served at tho close of the program.
The four Odd Fellow lodges of the city
held a Joint open social session last night
at their temple. An Interesting musical 1
and literary program was rendered and re
freshments served. The affair proved such
a success that It Is proposed to hold these
open sessions at least once or twice a
month In the future.
Council camp. Woodmen of the World,
held an open session last night and had
as Its guests the members of John Huss
castle, Royal Highlanders. The principal
feature of the program was an address
by Dr. V. J. Montgomery on "Robert
Burns." The Klrkpatrlek orchestra as
sisted In the musical program, which In
cluded a number of vocal and piano solos,
while several of the members helped en
tertain with recitations.
High School Carnival a Success.
The carnival In the high school gym
nasium last night for the benefit of the
Athletic association proved quite a success,
financially and otherwise. In addition to
the carnival proper, the High School Glee
club gave a concert In the auditorium,
while a stereoptlcon entertainment was In
continuous cession in one of the larger
class rooms.
Seven gaily decorated booths, presided
over by the young women of the school,
were attractive features of the carnival.
Every article offered for sale, Including
pen and Ink sketches, fancy work of almost
every description, sofa pillows bearing the
colors and Insignia of the various school
fraternities, etc., was the handiwork of a
pupil bf the school and they proved ready
sellers. The refreshment, popcorn ond
candy booths did a rushing business, as
did the minstrel show.
The Athletic association will reap a neat
sum through the enterprise of the students
who arranged and carried out so success
fully "the greatest midwinter carnival in
the history of Council Bluffs."

public schools of the city yesterday after

close of the exercises the teachers served
the guests with light refreshments. At
the high school In the morning Principal
Ensign entertained the pupils with a most
Interesting exhibition of stereoptlcon views
of famous revolutionary and civil war
