History of Trinity
Parish Tells Work
By Henry W, Yates
An appropriate and valuable memorial
of the late Henry W. Yates is contained
between the covers of a book entitled
History of Trinity Parish, Omaha," pub
lished by the family for private circula
tion. The history was written by Mr.
Yates 'ten years ago, and then published
wrially In "The Croer," and is now re
published In more enduring form, both
as a tribute to' his memory and to pre
serve a record of hia devotion to the
church whose history is recounted. '
Mr. Yates was a member of the vestry
of Trinity cathedral for forty-eight years,
lor thirty-six of which he was senior
warden. Thus he was Intimately asso
ciated with the directing forces of the
cathedral parish, and necessarily in close
touch with tho affairs of the Episcopal
diocese of Nebraska. Moreover, ha was
nl ways a delegate to diocesan councils
find represented tho diocese in the general
conventions in 1RM, 1907, 1910 and 1913. In
iied his church activities covered every
branch of lay effort, and exemplified de
votion, loyalty and intelligent work.
The history of Trinity parish covers
three pcrlods-the mission period, from
iv; to iw4:, the parish and pro-cathedral
period, from 1S4 to 1872, and the cathedral
period, since 1872.
Memorial resolutions by church bodies
and memorial addresses by churchqaeo

book.
NERVY THIEVES CARRY OFF
CRATE OF LIVE CHICKENS
"I always knew that a ' grocer and
butcher encounters more high spots when
It comes to gall and nerve than any other
business man, but I never expected to see
it go this far," declared Fred Bonness,
who operates a store at Twenty-second
and Leavenworth, after two unidentified
women and one man had picked up and
tarried off a crate of twenty-four live
thickens.
The birds were left In front of the store
for display purposes and the crate was
o heavy that it made a hard Job to be
removed. When it was missed neighbors
raid they saw it being carried down the
street by two women and a man. . '

Italian Horse Buyer
Faces Firing Squad
For TrickHe Turned
Pale Tribhy, Mount Pleasant. Ia., com
mission broker In horses, who makes his
headquarters at the Carlton hotel, has
received a letter from another horseman,
telling of the execution In ttaly of Captain
UuKliHmo Sarill, who was recalled from
this country by his government after he
had srwnt several months around Omaha
and other horse markets, superintending
the purchase of animals for military use.
Klght months ago, an agtnt, or at least
a limn purporting to be an agent of
Saiill approached Tribhy, offering to buy
at topmost prices every nag the horseman
could Rnt. Profits were to Vie split equally.
Trlhtiy declined to enter into the business,
as did several other horsemen known in
the South Pido market. There must have
been some horsemen, however, not averse
to turning big profits, and as the result,
Italian soldiers got some blemished ani
mals, for which the government paid as
much as honest agents paid for first class
animals.
Captain Parlll suddenly was recalled,
and the next word about him was that
ho had been slain by a firing squad.

GIRL IS READY TO
FACE HAUSER JURY
Grace Slater Will Tell Story
Smith Murder When Bandit
Is Put on Trial.
of
WILL SELECT JURORS MONDAY
Arthur Haiioer, alleged to be the
bandit who startled Omaha by
murdering W. II. Smith, Woodmen
of the World rashler. the night of
October 16. after terrorlttng the city
by a series of outrageous crimes,
will go ou trial for his life . this
morning at 9:30 o'clock in the dis
trict court of Judge James P. Eng
lish. Hauser is charged with first de
gree murder while attempting to
rob. The Jury of twelve men which
will be selected to try him, if it finds
him guilty, will have in Its dis
cretion, according to Nebraska law,
the decision whether he Is to die In
the electric chair as a penalty.
Retribution for Hauser, if he is guilty
of the crime, vengeance for the murdered
man and punishment In the name of law,
depend on a pretty, youthful girl, 'who
shrinks with terror from the part which
she must play this week, yet is resolved
to carry It through to the utmost of her
power.
One Witness of Murder.
It Is the slender figure of 20-year-old
C.rare Slater,, alone, which stands between
Hauser and escape from a seat in the
death cbalr. She Is the only person who
can point to Hauser before a Jury and
sav. "There Is the murderer of W. H.
Smith; I ssw Hauser fire the shot which
killed him."
Around her testimony and her identl
flratlon of Hauser as the murderer, the
state has woven a net of corroborating
evidence, which it hopes to pull so tightly
about the bandit that he will find no
escape. A score of witnesses already
have been subpoenaed for this purpose by
County Attorney Magney and many
others are available if the necessity
arises to prove or disprove various Issues.
Yesterday Miss Slater displayed 1 the
ume reticence and shyness which have
marked her conduct since she told the
police a few hours after the murder that
she was the woman who had been seen
In the company of Mr. Smith, the night
he was slain.
"I have nothing to say now," she de
clared, "I am going to tell all at the trial.
I know that Hauser is the man who shot
Mr. Smith and I am going to tell the
Jury that"
Girl to Tell of, Tragedy.
It Is Miss Slater's task when she facea
the Jury to relate all the details of the
tragedy, in which she became involved aa
the result of a chance meeting of Mr.
Smith on a downtown street In Omaha
and a walk to her home with him. It
will be necessary for her to match wits
with . lawyers and if her statement of
facts should become entangled the result
may be that the man who she believes
deserves death for slaying Mr. Smith,
may . escape that penalty.
Part of her testimony will be an ac
count of the period of one hour and a
iialf, which she was compelled to spend
in the company of Smith's murderer after
the fatal shot bad been fired.
Mr. Smith was shot at Thirty-second
and Dodge streets. The murderer ap
proached from behind as the victim was
walking westward with Miss Slater. The
bandit ordered them to throw up their
hands and quickly came close to them.
