IN DEFENSE OF VON HALLER Testimony for Aooused it How Being Heard in Murder Trial THEORY KILLING WAS IN SELF-DEFENSE Kate Reels Its Cass and Witnesses Called for Defease Tell Storlea that Differ from Those , Heretofore Given. An agreement has been reached by the Jury In the Von Huller trial to have It con tinue Saturday morning until noon. Judge Day pui this question of continuation up to the Jury vFrldny.aUernoon and the vote waa unanimous. "Well, your honor, there's one thing thl ' Jury can agree on," aaid Attorney Jefferla pleasantly, aa he prepared for the dreary grind of question" und cross-question again. The main point In the Von Haller trial Friday . morning was brought out In the vldence of Chief of Detectives Dunn, Dr. Bills and Officers Drurhmy and Maloney. Dunn and Kills gave testimony which went to show that the revolver which Jlees had during the etrugglo with Von Kaller had not been fired that night. This waa largely a matter of opinion with them, and the ef fort of the defense on cross-examination was devoted to showing that sufficient time eould have elapsed for the revolver to cool before Dunn and Ellis examined It, if It had been fired. Mr. Mary Hanlon of Twentieth and Spruce, and Detectives D rummy and Ma loney Identified ai shirt 'Which Von Haller had left at Mr Honlon'a, where he roomed, the next day after the murder. The shirt had on the front what the state contends re blood spots. It was admitted In evi dence against the protest of the defenses Defease Springs Surprise. The defends developed Its promised sur prise yesterday afternoon late. The crowd In attendance has been steadily growing In lae and' Friday afternoon there were over a score of well dressed women, young and old,-within the' rail; one woman even had a bahy with . her. When the atate rested at S:tf the; defense started in on its testi mony with a big house present. John B. Onrland, with a soft southern burr, was the firet witness for the defense. His testimony simply went to show that Vdolph Hubermann had always carried the . u ' ' n n i ii i r a COCOA UttlUtlnffulehed from mil otbtrn by lie lull flavor, delicious quality and absolute purity.

The defense uncovered Ita line of rea soning or expectation when Mr. Selmft Hultgren waa called. She lives at Twenty second and Boyd, the street along which the Missouri Pacific track runs. Her home la about two block from Oak Chatham sta tion, where the Reeses lives. She testified In answer to direct questions by Attorney Shoemaker Jhat she heard the first shots fired after two men had passed her house going toward the station. There were three nt' first, she-said, then aeveral othere fol lowed very- quickly. - - ' ' Rest. Witness for Defense.. Mrs. Lena Crawford and her daughter. Pearl Lynn, a girl of li, testified to the same effect. They live at the corner ot Twenty-first ' and Amei avenue, a block from the Reea home. Mra. Crawford waa the best witness for the theory of the de fense that Hubermann' story of tha num ber of shota fired is not correct. She stuck to the positive assertion that six and pos sibly aeven shot were fired, and ail at the spot where the struggle occurred. : Both Mra Hultgren and Mrs. Crawford agreed that no shot, waa flred aa stated by Hubermann a block away from the Rees home after the struggle. I Cross-examination did not cause either of the wojnen to vary aa to the number of shots having been In excess of Ave. Hu bermann swore that only four were fired, but Mr. Reea accounted for five. Now the defense Increases the number by witnesses who insist that they are quite sure aa to the number. There were Ave empty shells In Mr. Ree' gun, a five-shooter, and five shots had been fired from the gun .Von Haller carried. Hence the defense la expected to contend to the Jury that Reea went out with a loaded gun and that he made It necessary for Von Haller to defend himself. All their effort are being bent to this end and the state, of course, Is trying to 'prevent such a showing by a Una of objections. Judge Day l allowing tha witnesses to tell their stories as fully aa possible, and technical objections do not stand. John H- Butler, a builder, waa called to the stand to explain and identify a plan ha had made of the scene of the killing and It waa received In evidence. - 1 O'CONNOR'S FRIENDS ARE SORE Fake factory Yarns Cans Indlgna ' tlon Among Those Near to the Dead Painter, ' Friends of F. W. Connor, who met acci dental death by falling out of a window at the Thurston hotel Thursday morning are much aggrieved at the story of O'Connor's death as published In Thursday's News and World-Herald. They denounce 1 the story that O'Connor lost his mind while at work on an Invention for projecting algna by sunlight aa 'fabrication out of the whole cloth. "A full investigation of the matter !ia been made and not the slightest traee of any such Invention has either been found or heard of," said A. J. Rense. a fellow craftsman of O'Connor. "The atory Is a pipe dream, pure and simple, and the worat part of It la the grief the story may cauae O'Connor's father, who la in tha city to take charge of the remain of hla son." A roommate of O'Connor, who was with him up to a short time before his death, says he never heard anything of the In vention referred to. Th matter waa not even considered at th Inquest Thursday afternoon. O'Connor waa an expert scenic painter, having painted most of the large pictorial aign about town, many of which have be,t commented on here and there on account of th fidelity to detail with which O'Connor wrought hi work. O'Connor graduated with Cleorge Ade at th Chicago university twelve years ago. Ha was employed as a sketch artist for some time On the Chicago Record-Herald, and . worked In . Omaha for the first time several years sgo, . being forced to give up Ms work on account of an attack of appendicitis. At th time of death he was employed by th Gunning company and ranked, with the best of pictorial sign paint ers. His wag a clear mind; so air hi aaso elates aay. - . ..'- The dead man's father reside at Kent land, Ind., and Is a prominent cltlsen and wealthy grain merchant. O'Couaor t aiiowa. V bev had a habit of raising his window from the bottom when he-came to hla room every evening and then reaching outside through th opened window and lowering the upper sash from' the Outside, which habit, his friends think',' may have caused him to loe h i balance at the time he met with the fatal accident.

If his frankly English birth and environment were not enough to avert that Raffles Is quite as charming a fellow In the play as he Is In the atory; fascinating, gallant, with euch perfect manners, that some hundred of law-abiding and generally reputable peo ple rejoice nightly 10 see him evade Jus tice and slip through the hands of the law Just when It socmed most likely that he would meet with his .merited reward. Fie upon all of us. Let ua not be misled by hla mooning about things he has missed, nor be warped in our sober Judgement by hi sophistry a to. the taint In th blood. He la a menace to all of us we are mov ing in the beat of exclusive and wealthy circles Just now, and while we may not have the Metros diamonds, we have others and w ought to rejoice that Cap tain Bedford should be shrewd enough to run him to earth. Captain Bedford hardly needed tha aasistancs of Mrs. VWal; hei testimony oould oi.ly connect Raffle with the crime of the pt st. And, yet oh, well, we are all well pleased when he gets sway, and w hope that In ame different clime, with th woman of his heart by hla side, he may lead a different life and turn his natural fine talonts to som bet ter business than the sequestration of other people' property. And the chagrin Of Captain Bedford Is pleasing to us, at least until we hava had time to reason out the situation. .This Is by way of say. Ing that Mr, Hornung, with the assist ance of Mr. Presbey, has extended the career of A. J. Raffles Into a new setting and made most delightful play of it. It Is smartly conceived, smartly written and smartly acted. Mr. Bellew makes th Raffles part quit Ideal; even to tha point of seeming to give th lmpreealon that he underestimated the capacity of the detective who pursue him relentlessly. ; Jn his lighter moments Mr. Bellew is charming; in his serious he Is a delight. No one oould possibly give more of apparent sincerity to his utterance than is bestowed by him on hi two speeches to Miss Blandlnck. nor do it with less af fectation. It la probably enough to say that Mr. Bellew is quit what we look for In him. For thoae who are associated with him In the presentation .of this mor or less frankly melodramatic play, nothing but praise la due, for each deserves It for the conscientious effort mad and th real measure of success attained. Mr. Holland quite share with th star the credit for th venlng' pleasure.. The playing of on against the other gives opportunity for a fin bit of fencing of master wits, and th audience is entertained with an almost oon tlnual stream of sparks, so to speak, as they their blades clash, the one attempting to trap, th other to elude. It Is doaaed desperation sgalnst dogged persistency, and If Mr. Bellew finely portrays the thelf, Mr. Holland no less finely portrays the thief taker. "Bunny" doesn't amount to much mor In th play than he doe in th story, Just a fellow to have handy to run errand, do what he I told and ask no questions. Mr. Elliott does this very well. Mr. Frank McCormack make his Crswshay quit re- llstlo, hi seen with Raffle In th third set being finely carried off. Of th women Introdueed Mis Blandlnck gives us a splendid portrait ot a girl who la willing to risk all and sacrifice all fur th man ah loves, even though he be A thlf.

Miss Atwood persorilfltts a. woman, of . whom we have two glimpses In the story once on Doara ship In the great pearl affair, and once in that after time, when Raffles found it convenient to mourn at hi own funeral In order to evade her too persistent atten tion. She, too, la quite a natural char acter, If we are to believe all that has been told about the disposition of woman scorned. The others are essential only to the action of the play. It was a fine audience, one that Mr. Bel lew may feel proud of, that assembled last night at the Boyd theater and gave vig orous expression to Its approval of th play and the players. "Raffle" will be re peated at a matinee this afternoon and again this evening. It may not be amlas here to enter a word of protest against a growing habit of some persons who do not feel content with wit nessing the performance on the stage, and moderately expressing their pleasure and approval hy the ordinary methods. For their benefit It may be stated that the actor who is Inclined to make a curtain ipetx-h does not require the vociferous clamor from the galleries In order to urge him to It. If he be not Inclined to favof the audience with a short talk, his feeling Should be regarded, and peraons who have paid for seats should not ba disturbed by the raucous cries of some who are mistaken In their notions as to what is the right thing.
