GIRL TESTIFIES
OF THREAT B LUFF
Much-Sought-After Youn Woman
of Marquette Testifies of Threat
to Kill Her.
MANY STORIES HZPUDIATED
AURORA. Neb., Nov. 1!. (Special Tele
gram.) At the preliminary trlnl of Fred
Luff today before County Judge Jeffers
for the assault on Nels Nelson all evi
dence as to the action of the bloodhounds
In trailing from tho Nelson home to the
Luff home was excluded. The county
Judge stated that he believed he was
bound by the decMon of the supreme
court, which excludes such evidence.
Miss Mary Peterson was the principal
witness for tho state today. She Unified
that she had formerly "kept company with
Fred Luff. She stated ia she refused
o marry him and aturicd to keeping com
pany with Nela Nelson on October 9. She
aid she saw Luff on the streets of Mar
quette and he told her he would shoot
her In two weeks. This was the only
threat she had ever heard Luff make.
Bho repudiated the stories that have teen
circulated In this county that I.uff had
threatened to do violence to Nelson.
Fifteen Other Admirers.
Miss Peterson stated that she told Nel
son of this threat on October !, that be
ing the date on which she first went out
with Nelson. She declared that she told
this threat to but one other person prior
to the assault on Nelson. Cross-examination
developed that she has had about
fifteen other young men of Marquette as
admirers during the )ast year. It seemed
to be the theoVy of the defense that some
cne of these admirers had been guilty of
the assault on Nelson, the shooting of
Luff and the burning of Nelson's shed.
Chris Fedderson, sr.; Chris Fedderson,
Jr.; Peter Thomson, Vigo Thomson, Oscar
Larson, Chris Anderson and C. A. Stew
art were the other witnesses examined to
day, not one of whom gave any damag
ing evidence against Luff. So far the
evidence of the state that connects Luff
with the assault on Nelson Is not suffi
cient to permit his being bound over.
The state announced tonight that it
would call Sheriff John Powell, Deputy
Sheriff Steve Powell and R. M. Fulton
of Beatrice tomorrow. The latter is the
owner of the bloodhounds which were
used here.
The. testimony of the sheriff and his
deputy will be as to the finding of a boot
nark In the road. The state will attempt
to show that this boot mark was made by
the rubber boot of Luff which is in evi
dence. DAIRY BUILDING CORNER

Vnlled Plates Marshal Thomas J. Flynn
has returned from Iavenworth, Kan.,
a hither he escorted some prisoners who
will sojourn for a year or eighteen
months In the federal prison.
"It way my first visit to the prison,"
said Mr. Flynn, "and I was amased at
the splendid buildings and grounds and
the efficient manner In which everything
Is done.
"1 saw 1,M0 prisoners st one time In the
rMnlng room, and they were served In Just
a Jiffy and everything went with the pre
vision of clockwork. They all came
marching In while the brass band played
an Inspiring marching tune and took their
places at the tables. There wasn't a
sound until the man in charge gave a
single stroke with a gavel, and then as
one man their hands went to their tin
plates, end from one end of the room
came a force of men carrying sprinkling
cans. These cans I. found contained cof
fee, and they went swiftly about pouring
the Java. Others came along with big,
clean, bright kettles from which they
dished out meats and vegetables to the
tin plates.
"It was a cosmopolitan gathering. Home
men were pointed out to me who In the
outsldo world were bankers, high public
officials, principally from Terre Haute,
and others who were loaded with honors
and wealth.
"Oh, yes. I must mention the orchestra.
These prisoners have inuslo with their
reals. An orchestra of twelve pieces
played while they ate. Why, It wouldn't
be much better at a swell cafe. I under
stand now hy moat prisoners would
rather get a year In the federal prison
