JURY LISTENING TO ORATORY
Efidenoe in Von Haller Murder Trial Hai
All Been Pnt In.
ATTORNEY MURDOCK OPENS FOR STATE
Careful Review of Stories of V 1 1 -esaee
from Proeecntlon'a Stand
point, Followed br Mr. Shot,
maker for tbe Defenae.
At 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon the at
torney for the state and the defense sud
denly announced that they would rest on
the showing made. The arruments were at
once proceeded with.
Assistant County Attorney Murdock
opened for the state. He had for an au
dience about two score women, who were
seated Inside the rail, and outside was a
crowd of dlHPiiKajwd Jurors and curious
Citizens who were anticipating a fine flow
of oratory. Mr. Murdock's paraphernalia
was the bunch of exhibits which have been
Introduced during the trial two guns, a
blood-stained shirt and two pictures of Oak
Chatham station. He took the time from i
to 4 o'clock in a conversational review of
the evidence which the Jury has been lis
tening to with cloee attention for the paat
ten daya This finished, and every person's
testimony having been reviewed from the
state's standpoint, the assistant county at
torney entered upon an analysis In a gen
eral way first a course dinner of tidbits
of evidence, as it were, then a square meal
for good measure- There waa no way for
the Jury to dodge it. however.
And all this time Mr. Shoemaker, who
was to follow for the defense, was, like a
restless war horse. Impatiently controlling
bis disposition to slide In a contradiction.
With biidl off, or rather with bellyband
loosened, he' nervously toyed with the
sheets on which he had made his notes and
which seemed to promise a formidable on
slaught when the order should be given to
charge. He was allowed to get Into action
at 4:80 and for twenty-five minutes went
along at a good rate, but was hardly prop
erly started when adjournment was taken
at S until a. m. today.
The promise now Is that the addresses to
the Jury will be finished some time today.
In that case the Jury will be able to retire
for consideration before evening.
WCMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
A motion tor the appropriation of $6 for
the purchase of hymn books to be used at
the gospel services at the county Jail, at
Wednesday afternoon's meeting of the local
Women's Christian Temperance union,
brought out a prolonged discussion and In
cidentally the fact that at least some mem
bers of the union feel that the Ministerial
union has hardly given them the hearty
co-operation that one Christian organiza
tion has a right to expect of another. For
some time the Women's Christian Temper
ance union women , who conduct the gospel
services at the county Jail have been seri
ously handicapped by the lack of hymn
books and when, several weeks ago, during
a revival, fifty-four-of the prisoners rose
In tho meeting and asked for prayer and
a number of others exprejsed a desire to
lead Christian Uvea, the women thought
the work warranted at least the equipment
of hymn books that is the customary ac
companiment of gospel service. Accord
ingly one cf their number went to the
Ministerial association and laid the case
before the members and asking for books
even the cast-aside books from their
churches. The ministers acknowledged the
necessity, but, although that was several
weeks ego, only three hymn books have
materialized and while those are appre
ciated, they are sample copies of the edition
of a collection that Is not generally known,
and there being but three copies, they are
of little use. The J8 was voted and will
pay for fifty copies, the books to be the
union's Easter gift to the men In the Jail.
More Experts Called.
Drs. F. E. Coulter and S. K. Spalding
were both called by the county attorney
Thursday morning to rebut the testimony
of Dr. Blnger, given Wednesday. Both
men are neurologists of wide reading and
extensive experience. Their testimony, to
the lay mind, waa not different from that
of Dr. Singer. Given certain conditions
epilepsy and . Its effect and dismissing
from consideration parts of the evidence,
their answers were what would logically be
expected insanity, unconsciousness of right
or wrong. Given certain other conditions
for instance, heavy drinking and a quarrel
some ' dlsposltibn their answers leaned
strongly to conscious action and drunken
fury. All the quer.tlons and answers were
but i repetitions or modifications of these
principal deductions.

weeks ago. Provision had been made by
the ministers for every other part of tha

Indian Maidens Lose Exciting Game of
Basket Ball by Close Score.
FOULS FIGURE LARGtLY IN THE RESULT
Vlaltora Complain ot Referee'a Per
sistence' la 'Holding Them o
Halve and Suffer from
Lark ot Team Work.
In a fast game full of exciting Incidents
the Omaha Young Women's Christian as
sociation basket ball girls won from the
Indian maidens of Kansas In Germanla hall
lost night by a score of 28 to 24. It was
hard fought from start to finish, and never
for an Instant until time waa called did
the victory belong to either side. Omaha
secured the lead early In the first half,
but twice In the second half Haskell gained
until within only two points of tying the
score.
Miss Marshell threw from the foul line
for Omaha and seldom did she miss a goal.
Mips BnktT did wonders In working tho
ball down the field to her home goal. She
had much the advantage of her opponnt
in slxe, and was able to get the ball away
from her at the center position. Accord
ing to Haskell's captain the team has not
had much practice together, but the
handling of the ball by two of them. Mips
Roberts and Miss Waukon, showed that
they, at least, knew each other well. Has
kell's team has reason to be proud of their
work, even though they lost.
Many Fonla Called.
Foujp were frequent and the Indian' girls
were somewhat dlssatlgfW with Referee
Miller's decisions. Mr. Miller called fouls
on the Oraalm girls Just as often, however,
and he explained their frequency by the
fact that he had determined to abide strictly
by the set of rules on which the captains
had agreed and which said "grasping the
clothing or person of the player with the
hands or putting one or both arms about
the player shall be called holding."!
Haskell threw the first goal on a' foul.
Omaha threw her first goal from the foul
line. Haskell fouled, Miss Marshell missed
goal and Miss Baker pushed the ball Into
the basket. Then It was foul and foul,
first on one team and then on the other,
with Omaha slightly In the lead. After
the middle of tho half there were fewer bad
plays and both sides did good team work.
Time was called with the score 13 to 10 In
Omaha's favor.
The second half was watched with
breathless Interest. The ball went swiftly
up and down the floor, dropping first In one
basket and then in the other. The Indians
played much more surely than before and
Omaha was nerved to do her best In order
to win. Each of her players was a star.
Miss Baker and Miss Mathls did excellent
work together, the former tossing the ball
clear -across the field to the other. But
they were pressed so hard by the Indiana
that the spectators breathed a sigh of re
lief when time was called.

DIGS UP' BODY OF DEAD MAN
Widow of Late Iver Johnson Has Bemaini
of HerHiiband Exhumed.
earns"
TAKES ADVICE Of A LOCAL CLAIRVOYANT
Mre. Johnaoa Paid 15 for a Myatle
' Meeeaar "d Waa Persuaded lato
Belief that Her Husband Had
Been Mardered.
The body of Iver Johnson, who was
drowned last October In a lake In Holt
county while hunting In a boat with Scotty
Balfour, has been exhumed from Its resting
place In Forest Lawn cemetery and taken
to a local undertaking establishment. This
was done In order that the widow mlgTit
disabuse her mind of the Idea that her
husband met with violence at the lake. In
stead of being drowned as reported. The
remains have been placed back In the gravo
and Mrs. Johnson now says the upshot
of the whole matter was the result of an
Influence wielded over her by a clairvoyant
named Carrie Smith. . '
When the body was removed from the
grave Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Johnson calUd
on Coroner Bralley and asked him as
county coroner to order a post-mortem ex
amination, which the coroner explained he
could not do, aa the case Is out of his
jurisdiction, the drowning having occurred
In Holt county. .
Mrs. Johnson was' first approached on
tho subject by neighbors, who told her they
knew a woman who codld tell her the facts
concerning the death of her husband. The
neighbors also Intimated that Johnson had
met with violence, having been stabbed at
the lake In Holt county, and that the mat
ter was hushed up. This preyed on the
widow's mind during several sleepless
nights. Finally she Bought the advice of
her neighbors and they directed her to tho
woman they declared was on the inside
track and could give the facts. The womnn
is. said to be Carrie Smith, a clairvoyant,
trance medium, fortune teller aird spirit
