Peter Mumm Died at Home in
This City Today of Tumor of
the Brain.
From Saturday's Dally.
Peter Mumm, one of the pioneer
settlers of this locality, died this
morning after a short illness of less
than a week. Although Mr. Mumm
had been ill since some time in July,
he did not take to his bed until Tues
day of this week. His case was diag
nosed as tumor on the brain, and
, from this disease he died.
The deceased was a man of about
sixty-six years of age and had resided
in Plattsmouth for more than thirty
years where he has always had the
respect and esteem of all who had
business or social relations with him.
He leaves a devoted wife, two sons
and two daughters to mourn hi? loss.
The sons are: August and Henry;
the daughters are Misses Rose and
Pearl.
For a time after settling in Ne
braska, Mr. Mumm lived on a farm,
disposing of this he afterwards en
gaged with his brother in the retail
liquor business. Mr. Mumm was a
member of Cass Council No. 1021 of
the Royal Arcanum in which he car
ried a policy of $3,000. The funeral
arrangements have not yet been an
nounced. A more extended obituary
of the deceased will appear In the
Journal Monday. The wife, sons and
daughters have the deepest sympathy
of the entire community in this, the
hour of their sad bereavement.

connection with the election of Will
lain Loriiner to the United States sen
Kte, was found not guilty by a Jury In
the criminal court. This was Browne's
second trial. The jury disagreed in
the first trial.
The speedy verdict was a surprise
to the many who had watched the
progress of the second trial and had

LEE O'XEIL BROWNE,
with cheers from friends of Browne
who crowded the court room. Browne
turned to his attorney. Charles Erb
stein, and threw his arms around his
neck and for a moment they embraced.
The bailiffs were Powerless to main
tain order and with a rush Browne's
friends hoisted him to their shoulders
and carried him around the court room
continuing their cheers.
A semblance of order was restored
by vigorous efforts on the part of court
officials and the jury was rolled. The
basis of the indlctment-against Browne
wad that he had bribed Representative
Charles A. White of O'Falion. 111. his
colleague on the Democratic side of
thp Illinois general assembly, to vote
for William Lorlmer for United States
senator.

same allegations of having bribed
Representative White.
The Jury, which took eight ballots,
was out twenty-one hours. On the
first ballot the Jury stood eight to four
Tor acquittal. The final juror standing
out for conviction was won over to
sign the verdict of acquittal.
Credit to Lawyers.
"I owe my life to the lawyers who
defended me," Browne exclaimed when
he caught his breath. "It is all due to
their unswerving and absolute devo
tion to me. I owe everything to them.
I thank them from my heart."
State's Attorney Wayman was plain
ly put out by the verdict. At first he
refused to talk. Later, In his private
office, Jie made the following state
ment: "The verdict speaks for Itself. The
public knows the evidence. I present
ed the evidence and did everything
that a public prosecutor could do. The
state of Illinois will reap the benefit
of the prosecution regardless of the
verdict. I have nothing further to say."
The verdict in the Browne case
came as a dramatic aftermath to the
sensational incident between Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator Lorimer regard
ing the Hamilton club banquet.
The Roosevelt-Lorlmer Incident wns
frequently mentioned by people dis
cussing the Browne trial.
Senator Lorlmer was attending a
meeting of directors of the La Salle

board, she hastened to the directors'
room, where she handed a paper with
the words. "Not guilty," to John I.
Hughes, a director. Mr. Hughes read
the terse message and then handed it
to Senator T nrlmer. He read It. torn
It up rarefullv and continued hi re
marks to the directors. Not until the
meeting had adjourned did the other
directors lenrn of the verdict.

ALL MABRAY MIKES
OUTOF COURT
Judge McPherson's Ruling on
Evidence Causes Dismissal.
Council Bluffs, la., Sept. 10. The
long procession of "mikes" who filed
Into Council Bluffs Monday to be pres
ent in the United States district court
when fourteen of their suits against
local men to recover part of the J250,
000 they contributed to Mabray aud"
his associates, filed out of town with
completely dashed hopes. Every one
of their suits, which they had come
hundreds and, in some instances, thou
sands of miles to prosecute, were dis
missed upon motion of their attorneys
when the ruling of Judge Smith Mc
pherson made it impossible for them
to get to the Jury in any of their cases
with the class of testimony they had
to submit.
Judge McPherson was advised of
the decision to dismiss all of the cases
In time to permit him to recall the or
der to summon twenty-five extra Jury
men from points outside of Pottawat
tamie county. The remaining five
Bults were dismissed without prejudice,
following Judge McPherson's ruling
excluding from admission as evidence
the private memorandum book con
taining the names of all of the victims
and steerers, with a complete history
of each case, which was found in Ma
bray's effects when he .was arrested at
Little Rock by Postofllce Inspector
Swenson. This was the only evidence
the plaintiffs had to establish the nec
essary conspiracy to maintain the ac
tion in court, and which is said to
contain the simple (Memorandum at
one place, "B. Marks."
Judge McPherson held that any
man'8 name might have been written
In the book, and that It was worthless
as evidence of a conspiracy.
