WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
If other state federation presidents follow
the example of Mrs. James Jackson of the
Georgia Federation, Mr. Cleveland will
be the victim of an enforced education
regarding women's clubs. Mrs. Jackson has
proposed that every state president send
him a copy of the state year hook. She
explains thus: "Mr. Cleveland Is an able
lawyer, therefore knows that any person
or body of persons attacked, no matter
how Insignificant, has the right of defense.
We are told he la a Just man, therefore, In
all fairness, ho will read the evidence on
the side of the party attacked. The rec
ords of the accomplishments of the club
women of the country are contained In the
year book of every state In the union. On
these books the General Federation can
afford to rest Its case. However, if Mr.
Cleveland Is the broad-minded man we be
lieve him to be It win be In order for
him to write his 'Impressions after receiv
ing Information In some Journal or main
line of weight read by sensible, thinking
people."
The following lines from Miss Belle Kear
ney give some Idea of the growth or the
woman suffrage movement In Germany:
Eleven yeari ago the national woman's
council whs formed In Germany. Thirty
organizations Joined. ' Now there are 178.
All the progressive women of Germany
advocate the political equality of the sexes.
Three years ago, at the last national
woman's council meetlna. held at Wies
baden, a resolution was passed endorsing
woman suffrage. The vote was unanimous.
There were 300 delegates present represent
ing 70,000 women all the organized woman
hood of Germany.
A klrmess given reoeniiy. at Clilcaga by
the Illinois Women's J. Press association
netted a considerable sum toward the es
tablishment of a home for needy press
Women. One feature of the fair was a sale
of books to which some of the best known
llVIng American authors contributed vol
umes of their own work, most of them In
scribed with somo appropriate or charac
teristic ltttes.

How the Authoress Turned the Ta
bles ou Her friends.
A distinguished authoress with her hus
band moved to a California fruit ranch to
get free from stomach and norvous trou
ble. She tells her food story as follows:
"The change to outdoor life, abundance
of fresh fruit, etc., did help us some, but
at the necessity of cutting out all Indi
gestible foods' and thus striking at the
root of the trouble, had not sufficiently
Impressed Itself on our minds, we con
tinued to Indulge our appetites, till at last
I 'was prostrated for a long time with a
serious Illness during which I was simply
tVrved on" "nrruel and things.' One day
while In, this condition I demanded Grape
Kuts, roere)y because I wanted something
1 could chew. My wish was compiled with.
under protest at first, however, and than
as no bad results' followed, the crisp, nutty
grains were allowed me In the way of
humoring a harmless wnlm.
"To the surprise ot everyone, the stom
ach which had persistently refused to re
tain the sloppy messes usually fed to sick
folks, readily assimilated the Qrape-Nuta,
and I was soon able to take two spoonfuls
three times a day, and when I got to that
point iry health and strength eame back
to .me rapidly. On recoVerV', and taking
up my work again, I adhered to Urape
Nut food for breakfast and supper, eat
ing a good, plain dinner at noon. In four
weeks I gained 10 pound in weight. I have
constantly used Grape-Nuts food ever sine
and greatly to my advantage.
"My faith in Qrape-Nuta was a matter
of much Jesting to my family, and onoe
when my' birthday came around, I was
told that a special dinner would be pre.
oared to honor the anniversary, When i
entered the dining room 1 was surprised te
find It decorated -with O rape-Nuts box,
sum empty, some full, and some filled
with flowers, etc., eto., and tin Joke was
hilariously enjoyed, iif time, earns, how
ever, when I returned the surprise by
producing a delirious Grape-Nun pu4t
ding, and dates tufted witn rolled Grape
Nut and cream. Then 'those who oama

CHICAGO. June 5,-Cornellus P. Shea,
president of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters and leader In the strike
whlclj has existed In Chicago for the last
two months, was arrested and taken to
Jail tonight. With him on the Journey
from the saloon In whlcji he was arrested
to the office of the sheriff and then to
Jail was Hugh McGee, president of the
Truck Drivers' union. Both men were
taken into custody on capiases Issued on In
dictments charging them with conspiracy,
which were voted by the grand Jury that
adjourned last Saturday night.
It was the understanding at the office
of Sheriff Barrett that President Shea,
who was aware of the Indictment returned
against him, would appear during the day
and give bonds." He failed to do so, and
Deputy Sheriffs Robert Wilson and Martin
Honan were sent after him. After a short
search Shea was found in the rear room
of a saloon at Washington and Franklin
streets.
Mr. Shea was very angry at his arrest
at the late hour and upbraided Sheriff
Barrett for holding the capiases from Sat
urday and then serving them at a time
when It would he very Inconvenient to
secure bonds. The sheriff responded that
he had been assured that the labor leaders
would come to hln office during the day
and file bonds. When he became convinced
that they were not coming he sent for
them, he anld. President Shea lost his
temper completely at this point and de
nounced the Bherlff and all his works In
emphatic language. Ho was told by the
sheriff that he would be given all neces
sary time to procure bondsmen, but that
he would be taken to Jail at once unless
he moderated his manner of talking.
"I would not mind going to Jail," said
President Shea, "If It was not for Levy
Mayer. He has directed your action In this
matter."
I want you to understand that not an
ther word must come from you regard
ing Levy Mayer," retorted the sheriff. "I
am sheriff and I am conducting this of
fice."
President Shea finally succeeded In
reaching his attorneys by telephone, and
one of them, Daniel Crulce, came quickly
to the sheriff's office. A few minutes later
the altercation between Shea and the sher
iff ended by the sheriff ordering Shea and
McGee locked up. They . were at once
taken to the county Jail where they were
placed In cells. After being a prisoner
for a little more than two hours both
Shea and McGee were released, their at
torneys having procured bonds which were
approved by Judge Tuthill.
Another Move for Pence.
The teamsters made overtures to the
mployers tonight by asking for a confer
ence, but failed to meet the requirements
of the attorneys of the Employers' association.
Attorney Mayer for the Employers' as
sociation, after the failure of the peace ef
forts of Saturday night, announced that all
conferences were off and that he would
have nothing more to do with the team
sters. Today' he was asked by members of
the Teamsters' Joint council If he would
not agree to meet a committee' Uor them
with a view of settling the strike. Mr.
Mayer replied that he would meet the
committee If It came to him with written
power to act. He would ,. not, however,
agree to meet any body of men which
did not of Itself possess power to settle
the strike. He had, he said, reached agree
ments with committees before and that
these agreements had been later upset by
the TeamBters' Joint council. Nothing
more of this character would be done.
The committee with which he conferred
must possess full power and Its action if
It agreed to settle the strlko must be final
and binding upon the union.
The teamsters' Joint council agreed to
appoint such a committee, but its meeting
tonight failed to do so. It appointed In
stead a committee which is to attempt to
make a settlement with the large stores on
State street. Similar attempts of this kind
have been made and the merchants have
repeatedly declared that they will not con
sider any plan of settlement which does
not Include all parties to the strike. They
will sanction no settlement that does not
Include all of the boycotted houses.
Albert Young, former president of the
International Teamsters' union, for whom
warrant was Issued charging him with
criminal libel In connection with asser
tions made that Robert J. Thome, secretary
of Ward & Co., had offered JIO.OOO to Iiav9
strike declared against a rival house,
Sears, Roebuck & .Co., was arrested late
this afternoon. He was taken before Sher
iff Barrett, where he gave bond of $0,0110 for
his appearance when wanted. Although lie
has been an object of search tor two days,
Young declared that lie had not left the
city and had been In frequent attendance
upon labor meetings and conferences..
Notable Decision by Groiacsp,
A notable decision affecting conspiracy
proceedings was made today by Judge
Peter S. Grosscup in the United States dls
trlct court. He declared that the Jailing of
the two labor leaders, Bernard Mulligan
and John H. Donohue, for alleged contempt
ot court In refusing to answer questions
possibly Incriminating was an "extraor
dinary proceeding."
Judge Grosscup' opinion, On account of
Its sweeping character and widespread ap
plicability, attracted much attention. Mulli

refusing to answer questions before Master

Dunne Replies to Criticism.
Mayor Dunne has replied to criticisms of
himself contained In a report of the grand
Jury. In a formal statement the mayor
asserts that the report la grossly unfair
and unjust.
Denial Is made to the charge that the
mayor failed to exert full authority. He
says:
If the grand Jury mean that I have failed
to call In the militia. I answer that until I
fall to get wagons through the streets and
maintain law and order with the police I
have no right, legally or morally, to call
for the assistance of the militia. I do not
Intend to until It becomes necessary to deal
Chicago and Its business Interests that
hurtful blow. The animus behind the whole
affair Is apparent. Over three weeks ago
certain Interests In the city demanded that
I call In the militia. A situation under tho
law warranting such a call did not then
and has not since existed. I refuse to do
so and I will refuse until It appears that
such a step la necessary.
Immediately after his refusal to call for
the militia, the mayor asserts, he was at
tacked "in the most virulent manner."
Continuing, he says:
During the whole of the strike I have de
cided and acted upon all questions arising
during the controversy as though I were
still sitting on the bench, giving to each
side its legal rights no more and no less
and my action In this regard I submit to
the candid and Impartial consideration of
my fellow citizens, having at heart the In
terests of the whole people, without being
swerved from my course by the clamor
from cither side.
Dold Leaves Committee.
Charles Dold, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, has resigned from the
teamsters' strike committee. He asserts
that his action was due to the fact that
for several weeks he has neglected the af
fairs of the Piano and Organ Workers'
union, of which he Is an official.
Nonunion men are still being harrasscd
by sluggers. Albert Johnson, believed to
be a nonunion teamster, was severely
beaten today at Fourteenth street and
Ashland avenue. When found by the police
he was Insensible and was bleeding from
a wound in the head. He was taken to a
hospital, where It was found that several
of his ribs were broken. He will probably
die.
Reply to Dunne's Statement.
A. A. McCormlck, foreman of the grand
Jury, whose report censured Mayor Dunne's
manner of handling the strike, said tonight:
The renort was the unanimous verdict of
twenty-three men from all parts of this
country. We heard evidence for three weeks
and the report was warranted.
It Is well known that disturbances of a
more or less serious nature took place In
the streets of this city until President
Roosevelt came to Chicago and In a public
speech warned the strikers that lawless
ness would not be tolerated. The speech
of the president put some backbone Into
me situation ana tne msturnances nave
been less frequent since then.
Personally I think Mayor Dunne Is a well
meaning man, but so far as the strike is
concerned he might have done better In
suppressing lawlessness If he had so desired.
Conditions at aarlnatT.
SAGINAW, Mlch... June 6. Manned by
nonunion crews, the Street Railway com
pany today sent out a number of cars
with an officer on both front and rear plat
forms. There was no resumption In the
early part of the day of yesterday's at
tacks on the nonunion' men, and the throw
lng of eggs and other missiles at the cars.
No talk of arbitration Is heard today, and
both the company and the men now de
clare that the fight will be fought to a
finish. President Mahon of the Amalgama
ted Association of Street Railway Em
ployes, will be here tonight to take charge
of the strike.

The government report In the above
states, May 1, Indicated 403,668.000 bushels.
Total crop winter wheat, all states, 1904,
3;5,374,5 bushels.
With 670,000,000 bushels of wheat in
prospect, according to careful estimates
received from all the principal grain states,
nature has given a bond that prosperity
win remain with the American farmer an
other year.
While no detlnlte reports are at hand
for the other Individual states raising win
ter wheat, the government showing for
May 1 Indicated a total of 83,029,000 bushels
for these states. It Is expected that In
its June report, which will be Issued next
Saturday, the government will make even
a better exhibit for the states of lesser
rank In wheat production.
There Is not so sure a basis for esti
mating the spring wheat crop. But pres
ent conditions, as reported from Minne
sota and the Dakotas, Indicate that these
three states alone will produce 32,000,000
bushels more than they did a year ago,
when the total was 227,025,014 for all the
tafes.
If the estimates from Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana and
the other leaders In winter wheat pro
duction are borne out by the threshing
returns six weeks hence and no more
serious damage Is done to spring wheat
than already has been inflicted, the total
crop of 1908 will be exceeded by no crop
In the history of American agriculture,
with the exception ot that of 1901, which
the government figured finally at 74.40,ni
bushels. It will be UR.floo.OOO bushels tn
excess of the crop of a year ago, and 33,-
000,000 larger than that ot 1909.
NEW YORK, June 6 rians to establish
harmony In the affairs of the Equitable
Life Assurance society were further com
plicated today by the resignation of two
more directors, making five In all who have
recently retired from tho board. A dis
patch from Boston announced that T. Jef
ferson Coolidge had tendered his resigna
tion, to take effect Immediately, and this
was followed by the resignation of Jacob
Schiff, head of the banking house of Kulin,
Loeb & Co., who has been a member of the
board of directors for twelve years. In
addition announcement came from Cincin
nati that Melville E. Ingalls would also
resign.
John A. Stewart, one of the committee
of seven appointed by the directors at their
last meeting to nominate a chairman of
the board, said today that he would not
decide on what course he would adopt until
the special meeting of the directors called
for Wednesday. D. O. Mills, another mem
ber of the committee, said that In all
probability he would resign, but would not
decide positively until the board meeting.
It Is understood that August Belmont has
decided to serve on the nominating commit
tee, regarding this an his duty to the
society. Mr. Belmont, however, declined
to discuss the affairs of the Equitable.
The Inquiry into the affairs of the society
were resumed today at the Equitable offices
by State Superintendent of Insurance Hen
dricks. Gerald R. Brown, superintendent
of the bond and mortgage department of
the society, was examined and Second
Vice President Tarbell was again ques
tioned. Superintendent Hendricks said that
he had already examined Jacob H. Schiff,
but would not say what other directors had
been before him.
Statement by Mr. Ingalla.
CINCINNATI, O., June 5.-The resigna
tion of Melville E. Ingalls as a director
of the Equitable Assurance society will
be In New York In a few hours. Mr. In
galls today gave out the following state
ment: I have not as yet resigned, but shall do
so. 1 have hesitated in order to determine
In my own mind what my duty was to
the policy holders and It seems to me that
with the spirit manifested by the majority
In control no further good can be accom
plished by my remaining. The control
seems now to be In the hands of Alex
ander and Hyde, chiefly through the men
employed by the Equitable and interested
either on that or lta subsidiary companies
and It cannot be expected that they will
be in favor of any changes. The friends
of the officers of the Equitable, whoso
resignations our report demanded, seem
to think that the demand was uncalled
for.' The facts stated plainly and briefly
are these:
We were asked to Investigate the man
agement of the Equitable. We reported
first that its system of insurance, in our
judgment should be modified and that this
should be referred to the new management.
We reported that the custom of the In
vestment of the outside, companies and
carrying of large balances for the appar
ent purpose of aiding these companies In
which the Equitable and Its officers are
Interested are unwise and should be
stopped. We reported that the practice of
officers of the Equitable purchasing se
curities in the market and then selling
them to the Equitable through a commit
tee of which they were practically the only
members, was wrong and whether tho
company made money or lost by the trans
action. It did not change the ethics of the
transaction.
. Committee's Report Irresistible.
Mr. Ingalls continued:
We listened to the accusations of the
different officials, we examined the ac
counts and we thought that It all showed
such a disorganized condition, such ex
travagance and negligence that for a com
pany of the magnitude of the Equitable
and so connected as It was with the com
munity by its system of Insurance, there
should be a change In management and
we recommend that the directors should
ask for tho resignations of the higher offi
cials and Mil their places. The majority
of the directors after hearing the report
and discussing It evidently felt that our
conclusions were Irresistible, but to avoid
direct condemnation of those officers they
voted to allow them to remain and then
proceeded to decide that there should be
a new office created a chairman who
should have control of all the affairs of
the company, and these officers whose res
ignations we had asked should be subor
dinate to this chairman. In' other wordB,
It was like the Judge who was asked to
remove the man from the control of a farm
because his management was bad and
decided that he would still let him work
and would put another man over him In
charge of the farm. So they decided to
allow Alexander and Hyde to still remain
and work, but to put another man over
them In charge of the affairs of the com
pany. We are glad to And that the Equit
able was solvent and that It had made
money and Increased Its business in spite
of Its troubles and its weak management,
and I think we all agree that if there
can be a change of management and tne
one-man ownership of stock eliminated the
Equitable has a great future.
DENNISON ACQUITTED
(Continued from first Page.)
he had been impeached In every statement
regarding Ttom Dennlson's connection with
him and the robbery of Pollock.
Judge Smith, as an Introduction to his
remarks, said that the defense had, us
other defendants before, tried to make some
one else the defendant instead of the
man named in the Indictment. Thus, he
said, had the Civic Federation been tried,
the Jeweler's Protective association and
Elmer Thomas. He paid a tribute to
Thomas, Buying he was one of the most
I respected members of the bar. A number
of the witnesses of the defense, he said.
the proseoutlon had not attempted to Im

mark upon their faces. He said Dennison,
like Shercllffe, 'when he ate supper In
Missouri Valley, thought every man waa
watching him. The same emotions ran
through each. That, he said, was why
Dennison thought the Plnkertons were
after him. A guilty conscience. The letters
Pennlson wrote to Homer Morris he said
were clear evidence of guilt.
Dennison and Shercllffe, he said, had
fallen out because when Shercllffe had been
released from the penitentiary Dennison had
submitted him this financial statement,
showing Shercllffe owed Dennison some
$9,000 Instead of giving him his share of
the diamond robbery. That, he said, was
why Shercllffe wanted to send Dennison
to the penitentiary. He entered Into a

It was anything to their discredit. He dis
credited the Omaha offlclals who testified
for lennlson and he said tho gamblers

clifTe. Judge Smith resumed his argument at
7:30 and concluded shortly before t, when
Judge Green delivered his charge to the
Jury.
Instructions to the Jury.
Tne Julge's Instructions were as follows:
The defendant, Tom Dennison. Is accused
of the crime of receiving stolen property,
committed as alleged in the county of Har
rison, and a charge contained In the In
dictment la In substance that the said de
fendant on or about the 8th day of No
vember, 1S92, unlawfully and feloniously
did take and receive certain diamonds of
the value ot tlS.ooO. the rroierty of W. I
Pollack A CO., a copartnership, which had 1
then and there recently been stolen ly
Sherman W. Morris, alias Prank ShercllfTe,
from the person of one William O. Pollack,
he, the said Tom Dennison, then and there,
well knowing said property to have been
recently stolen.
To this Indictment the defendant had
entered his plea of not guilty.
In order to make out the crime chnrged
In the Indictment the state must establish
by the evidence all ot the following mat
ters: First That at the time In question Wil
liam I.. Pollack Co., a copartnership, was
the owner of certain diamonds which had
recently been stolen . from the person of
William O. Pollack, a member of said firm.
Second That the defendant received said
diamonds knowing them to have been
stolen.
If all of the foregoing matters have been
established by the evidence the crime
charged In the Indictment will lie made
out, but If an yone or more of said mat
ters am not established by the evidence
then the crime charged In the indictment
will not be made out.
The state must also establish by the ev
idence that the crime In question was com
mitted In Hnrrlson county, this state, as
the Indictment alleges, and the state claims
that the crime wa committed nbout No
vember the Rth. XK; It also devolves upon
the state to establish by the evidence that
during the Interval which has elnpsed since
the date when the said diamonds were re
ceived by the defendant (If they were re
ceived by him), and the time when the In
dictment was returned, which was on the
20th day of April, 190S, the defendant has
not been publicly a resident of this state
for a period of three years. Except bs
above stated the precise time when the
crime was committed, If It was committed.
Is Immaterial.
The state has offered evidence tending to
show that on the nlrht of November the
4th. 1S92. one Wlllln (V Pollack, a member
of the firm of William T,. Pollack A Co.,
diamond merchants, having on his person
certain diamonds owned by said firm was
traveling upon a train near California
Junction In Harrison county nf this state,
when he was assaulted, struck and shot by
one Sherman W. Morris, altxs Frank Sher
cllffe. and robbed of said diamonds.
The defendant having offered no evidence
In robuttnl thereof, not having disputed this
testimony vou will be justified In concluding-
that the diamonds were stolen from
Pollack by Morris alias Shercllffe. and I
will pass to the Important questions of
whether the defendant received the said
diamonds In Harrison county of this state.
Material Points of Case.
t'pon this point the state has offered the
testimony of the witness, Morris alias Sher
cllffe, but under his testimony this witness
Would be an accomplice In the crime
charged herein if It was committed.
The laws of this state provide that a
conviction cannot be had upon the testi
mony of an accomplice unless corroborated
by other evidence which shall tend to con
nect the defendant with the commission of
the defense and the co-operation shall not
be sufficient If It merely show the com
mission of the offense or the circumstances
thereof. It follows that unless the testi
mony of Morris is corroborated as required
by this statute, the defendant must be
found not guilty. It is not necessary, how
ever, that this corroboration should be
made by direct testimony, for It may be
made out by circumstantial evidence, the
weight and sufficiency of which will be
for you to determine. On the other hand,
as It Is an essential element of the crime
charged that the defendant received the
diamonds in Harrison county, Iowa, the tes
timony of Morris must be so corroborated
as to satisfy you .that he speaks the truth
on that point or no conviction can be had
herein.
It Is not necessary, however, that the
testimony of Morris should be corroborated
In every material part of his testimony,
but if you find from other satisfactory and
unimpeachable evidence that he speaks the
truth In some material part of his testi
mony that bears directly on the question
of whether the defendant received in Har
rison county, Iowa, the diamonds when
recently stolen; this, may bo ground for
testimony that he speaks the truth In other
Iirts as to which there Is no confirma
tion, but whether it Is sufficient ground
therefor will be for you to determine.
Thus If the evidence either direct or cir
cumstantial, other then that given by Mor
ris, shows that the defendant did, in fact,
receive diamonds recently after they were
stolen this' should be regarded In law as
corroborating evidence, but tho weight and
sufficiency thereof will still remain for you
to determine. It follows on the other
hand that even though you find the evi
dence of Morris corroborated, if you are
not satisfied that the corroboration Is suf
ficient to establish the guilt of the defend
ant in the manner required in these in
structions he must be acquitted, and this
result as a matter of course must roiiow
should the testimony not be corroborative.
In the manner above described.
Credibility of Witnesses.
Keeping in mind the general principles
before laid down aa to the facts which
must be proved by the slate to establish
the commission of the crime charged, and
as to the nature of the corroborating evi
dence required herein, and coming, as you
must necessarily come, to a consideration
of the evidence introduced on behalf of the
state and defendant you are instructed that
you are the Judges of the evidence that la,
of what It proves and disproves. You are
also the judges of the credibility of the
witnesses and the weight to lie given to
the testimony of each and all of them. But
while It is your special province to weigh
the evidence, and you must ultimately de
termine what facts have been proved In
the case, some rules can be laid down
which may assist you in arriving at a
correct conclusion.
In this connection you are Instructed that
a witness may be impeached by a showing
that he has made statements outside of
court inconsistent with his testimony on
material matters given upon this trial. 80
also, If it appears from the evidence that
the general moral character of the witness
is bad or that he has been convicted of a
felony or that his general reputation for
truth and veracity is bad In the com
munity in which he resides, these matters
should be considered as bearing upon his
credibility. 80 also, In weighing the testi
mony of a witness you should consider his
demeanor upon the witness stand, the con
sistency or Inconsistency of his testimony
in Itself, and with the undisputed facta
In the case, and therefrom, together with
all other matters shown in evidence and
bearing thereon, give to each witness suoh
credit as you deem him entitled to, or none.
In addition to the matters specifically
mentioned above If the evidence shows that
any one or more of the witnesses have
motives which induced the giving of his
or their testimony, you should take Into
consideration such motives In weighing his
testimony, and If It appears from the evi
dence with reference to any such wltneases
that In giving hla testimony he la actuated
by a spirit of hatred or revenge, or desires
to wrongfully obtain money, or any other
Improper motive, you should take this into
consideration in weighing his testimony.
It is also proper where the teatlmony given
by opposing witnesses Is conflicting and
wholly Irreconcilable on material matters,
as it Is In many Instances In this case,
that you should consider whether the evi
dence shows that the witness whose testi
mony Is under consideration had any mo
tive for giving false or biased testimony
on the witness stand. Where the evidence
falls to show any motive for untruthful
or biased testimony this may be considered,
aa well as a spirit of hatred or III will or a
desire to obtain money out ot the case or
any other matter which might Influence
a witness in giving his testimony ; provided,
of course, any such matters are shown Willi
reference to any witness who has testinca
on this trial. . .
Tim fact, if It !e a fact, that Morris
prior to the time he met Mr. Thomas ha.l
made a statement or affidavit Implicating;
the defendant to or for one Fay does not
In anv wav tend to corroborate the tesl -nionv
of Morris or to substantiate the evi
dence which he now gives, but Is only re
ceived as bearing upon the question of
whether he was Induced to implicate the
defendant bv Mr. Thomas acting for the
Civic Federation of Omaha and should not
be considered by you for any other pur
pose. Reasonable Doubt.
You nre further Instructed that the tea
tlmonv rf Munis as to what one Byrne
said to him 1ms teen stricken out and shall
not be considered by you for any pur-
IWIS.V
The defendant has Introduced evidence
with reference to his general reputation
for honesty and Integrity In the city of
Otnaha. where he resides, and 'f you And
that his general reputation In this respect
Is iiond vou should cmislder this matter as
hearing upon the question of whether It
is llkelv or nrolialile that he iummltted th
crime charged, and If under all of tin'
evidence, Including the evidence as to his
reputation mr integrity and nonesiy, a
reasonable doubt arises In your mind aa
to his guilt, he should be acqulttted.
The defendant in the first Instance Is
presumed to be Innocent and lie cannot
te rightfully convicted unless each and
all of the matters necessary to establish
his guilt as hereinbefore sot forth, are
established by the evidence beyond all
reasonable doubt: that Is the evidence
must satlsfv you fully and completely that
all of these matters are true. If the evi
dence does ho satisfy you he should be
convicted, otherwise he should be acquitted,
even though you may susiect or believe
that be had something to do with tho
original robbery.
Your verdict must be In wrltlnir, signed

and must be In one of the following forms,
