he came after his son and he was not
ill then. Then on a Monday evening
Mrs. George Wever went over to her
house after a hot water bottle, say
ing that "George had a touch of the
bellyache." Tuesday morning Mrs.
George Wever phoned to Mrs. Etta
Wever to come to their home right
aw;:y as George was very sick and
when Mrs. Etta Wever reached the
George Wever home, he was having
convultions. The mother said "Kid.
what's the matter?" to which he re
plied. "Mother. I wish to God I
knew." Dr. Westover had called at
the Wever home prior to Mrs. Etta
Wever's arrival and had prescribed
digitalis tablets. Also soda water.
Mrs. Inas Wever attempted to give
George a tablet followed by a small
glass of water. George swallowed the
tablet but drank very little if any
of the water. Then Mrs. Inas Wever
brought him a large glassful of
cloudy" liquid. George suggested that
she go to the basement and cut off
a small portion of beer cyphc n hose
to use as a drinking tube. She did
this and George drank the the con
tents of the large glass of liquid
(supposedly soda water! and died a
few moments later.
No trace has been found of the
rubber tube through which George
Wever drank the glass of cloudy
liquid. And the balance of the digi
talis tablets were thrown into the
garbage pail by Mrs. Inas Wever.

was very mucn annoyeci ai uus auu
said "This is no vaudeville show,
this is a murder trial and a vory ser

plays of this nature or the court
room will be closed to spectators."
From Wednesday's Dally
The Tuesday afternoon 3ei,aion of
the district court as the Wever mur-
der case dragged its course, was un
interesting to the large audience that,
had packed the room to hear the de
tails of the case, the afternoon ses
sion being largely one of the presen
tation of the case as to the sickness
and death of Mr. Wever and which
did not afford the curosity seekers,
the interest that they had felt in
the earlier phases of the case.
Dr. R. P. Westover, who was call
ed into the case on the afternoon
preceding the death of Mr. Wever,
testified as to the condition of the
i patient as he had found him, of the
unsettled condition of the stomach
Dr. Westover testified as to per-
ty in the pres
ence of John Sattler, Jr., removing
the viscera of the deceased and tes
timony of Sam Reed was to the ef
efct of delivering the same to Dr.
H. E. Eggers of the University oi
Nebraska medical school, who tes-
had been sufficient to cause death as
he testified that only about one-tenth
of the poison usually remained in
the stomach. He testified also there
had been some alcohol but not suffi-
grams

The cross-examination of
Meyers by Attorney William
Dr.
N.
Jamieson of the defense was very
fre and the attorney for the de-
" ri " . " . " V '
Omaha druggist and once head of the
chemistry department of the Creigh
ton university. Under the fire of
questions as to the effects of poison:?
and the amount necessary to cause
death Dr. Meyers admitted that there
might have been "infinitesimal
amount" of certain salts and other
substances included in the eight and
a half milligrams chimed to be
'strychnine and which had been
found in the organs of Mr. Wever.
The witness was also questioned as
to the possibility of poison from the
taking of an overdose of digitalis
tablets such as was claimed had been
left for the use of Wever.
Prosecution by the state against
Mrs. Inas Wever for the alleged mur
der of her husband, George Wever,
was resumed this morning in Dis
trict Court before District Judge
there was no standing room avail
able.
Mrs. Wever still maintains her
complete composure and sat through
the morning court session with all
the poise which she has displayed
throughout the trial.
Dr. Westover, physician, Platts
mouth, was requested by the defense
yesterday morning to produce the
battles from which he took the tab
lets that were administered to George
Wever during his fatal illness. These
bottles contained diyltallne and
strychnine-hyacine. The bottles were
produced in court.
Dr. Eggers, pharmacist, Omaha.
University hospital, resumed witness
stand. He was severely flayed by At
torney Jamieson for his strong tes
tomony in regard to the findings of
his examination of the organs of
George Wever, from which Dr. Eg
gers drew his conclusion that Wever
met his death by strychnine poison
ing. Dr. Geo. E. Neuhaus, mental spec
ialist, Omaha, testified that he had
been asked by the state to examine
the mental condition of Mrs. Inas
Wever. This he did in the Douglas
county jail at Omaha. However, he
did not report his findings but it is
supposed that he considers Mrs.
Wever normal mentally. He too was
of the opinion that George Wever
died from strychnine poison.
Attorney for the defense, Mr.
Jamieson, criticised both Dr. Eggers
and Dr. Neuhaus for their testimony
in this case and the fees they re
ceive from the state for such testi
mony. The court recessed at 10:30 after
the close of the testimony of Dr.
Neuhaus, and on the resumption of
the court. County Attorney W. G.
Kieck withdrew the state's offering
as to purchases of arsenic by the de
fendant Mrs. Wever, the court in
structing tne jury to disregard any
referenrp 'n the nnrrhnm nf the same
s having any bearing on the case.
At 10:50 County Attorney W. G.
Kieck rested the case for the state
of Nebraska.
The first witness of the defense
caller was Dr. Frank T. Lovely of
Omaha, police surgeon of that city,
who was questioned by Mr. Jamie
son and stated that he had had ex
perience with cases of poisoning from
bootleg liquor, that he treated four
of the recent eleven fatalities in
Omaha from that cause. Dr. Lovely
testified that poisoning caused con
vulsions before death in the cases
and which were caused by what was
known as "wet brain." On cross-examination
by Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Clifford L. Rein, Dr. Lovely
stated that he was a brother-in-law
of Mr. Jamieson.
John O'Brien, Omaha druggist and
chemist, was called and stated that
he was a graduate of Drane univer
sity and had taught there and had
been dean of the college of pharmacy
of Creighton university. Questioned
as to the form of the tests made by
Dr. John Meyers, state expert, Mr.
O'Brien stated he did not think the
test was the best and that the U. S.
test was considered best. He did not
qualify as an expert in poisons but
stated he knew some of their effects
and actions. Questioned as to the
effect of bootleg liquor in causing
death Mr. O'Brien stated that it
varied in the amount to cause death
as to the age. health condition and
the fact as to the general drinking
of the party. In normal persons the
witness states from one to two pints
was sufficient to cause death but this
varied in the person. Witness did
not believe that the test made by
Dr. Meyers in drying the remains of
the tissues of the organs of Mr. Wever
had been sufficient and that the or
gans were not sufficiently dried.
Witness told of tests for digitalis and
which he stated did not produce the
same reactions as those for strych
nine poisoning.
It is apparent that Mr. O'Brien,
pharmacist, was relied upon as the
star witness for the defense. In Mr.
O'Brien's testimony he strongly ob
jected to the method used by the state
in examining the organs of George
Wever, he claiming mat the state's
method was not a true test of the
amount of strychnine found in the
organs or taken into the body of Mr.
Wever. Then there were differences
of opinion as to the sized dose which
would cause fatality by strychnine,
other poisons, alcohol, etc.
Mr. James Taylor, Lincoln. Neb.,
took the stand in the defense of his
sister, Mrs. Wever. He told of having
made his home with the Wevers for
the period of about a year and of
George Wever's habitual drinking.
Said that Wever kept bootleg whisky
in the home all the time. He also said
that on one occasion he was called
upon by his sister. Mrs. Wever. to
take a shotgun from the hands of
George Wever. while George was un
der the influence of liquor.
Mrs. Metcalf of Lincoln. Mrs. Jenks
of Chicago, Mrs. Pearl Brink. Lincoln.
and Mrs. Paul Metcalf, Lincoln, all
sisters of Mrs. Wever testified for the
defense. They corborated the fact
that Wever was a drinking man. Also
emphasized that the Wever premises
were badly infested with rats, and
that George had remarked that "they
must get rid of them."
Mr. C. L. Wiles, Plattsmouth. Neb.,
owner of the property in which the
Wevers lived, said on the witness
stand that both Mr. and Mrs. Wever
had asked him to make repairs about
the premises because of damage by
rats. This was done early in the fall
of last year at which time a cement
well platform was built, new kitchen
porch and other minor repairs.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Inas
Wever was the first witness called
and gave her side of case. She stated

Traffic Laws
Aid Pedestrian
and Motorist
New Kansas City Code Speeds Auto
mobiles but Guards Those
on Foot
Kansas City. Mo. High-priced
engineers, under supervision of Dr.
j Miller McClintock of Harvard Uui
j versify, studied the flow of motor
traffic in Kansas City for a year and
recommended a new code, and for
their services and expenses incident
thereto the city paid about $30,000.
ed from downtown areas.
The new traffic cle speeds up
motorcars ( but it also looks well to
the man who walks. Providing he
walks in certain designated lanes,
and keeps his eyes straight ahead,
the code gives the pedestrain the
right of way, and the law expresses
"the duty of the driver to exercise
due care for the safety of the pedes
trian." Captain Reynolds says traffic viola
tions are rapidly decreasing, and he
believes within 30 days they will de
crease 30 per cent.
The new traffic code permits a
speed of 4 5 miles per hour on boule
vards in residence sections, 25 miles
in any residence district, 20 miles
in business district and 15 miles past
schools. The fact that all vehicles
must come to a full stop at all major
intersections and that red and green
lights have been so changed under
the new regulations as to work more
in conjunction with the actual flow of
traffic, has helped speed up traffic
with less danger to pedyestrains, offi
cials say.
The Kansas City motorcycle squad
is going to make short work of per
sons driving while under influence of
narcotics and liquor. The new law
permits a fine up to $1000, and a
sentence of 90 days in jaid, or both.
Several are now in jail waiting trial
on the drunken-driver charge. Reck
less driving draws a fine of $25 to
$500, or five to 90 days in jail.
Street cars have right of way on
their own tracks and at a given sig
nal motorcars must move aside. Per
sons who continue to drive too slow
in a line of traffic may be arrested
for having committed a misdemean
or. Mild Pension
Bill Offered
Total Which Can Be Paid Indigents
Over 70 Is $250 a YearLeft
Optional with County
Elderly people who may have been
led during the recent political cam
paign to expect that they might be
able to retire on a comfortable cash
allowance from the state of Nebras
ka or its governmental subdivisions,
after reaching the age of 65 or so,
will be somewhat disappointed in the
provisions of the old age pension bill
introduced in the lower branch of
the legislature Saturday, as H. R. 56,
by Representative Porter.
Patterned after the Colorado law,
which might be termed "relief for
the indigent" rather than a pension
for the aged, the Porter measure
limits the amount which can be paid
any individual to $250 in a year, or
slightly more than $20 a month.
Even then, if one has as much
other income as $400 a year from
any source whatever, he cannot draw
anything fr the public treasury.
Moreover, ihe plan is left optional
with each county and will not be
come operative until the county
board has adopted it and levied the
tax necessary to provide for pay
ment of pensions.
These Cannot Be Pensioned.
Here are some of the people spe
cifically excluded from receiving any
of the benefits.
Anyone under 70 years of age.
Anyone who has not been for 15
years a citizen of the United States,
and for 10 years immediately preced
ing a resident of the state and coun
ty. Professional beggars.
Any person drawing a pension
from the United States or any other
governmental agency which, added
to other income, exceeds $400 a year.
Anyone who has transferred prop
erty to his children or others in or
der to qualify for an old age pension.
Anyone who has a .child or other
person who would be legally liable
for his support and able to provide
maintenance.
Anyone who possesses property to
the value of $2,500.
County May Cease Aid.
Where a county board votes to pay
old age pensions, under the forego
ing restrictions, and levies a tax for
that purpose, this does not commit
the county to the system permanent
ly. The Porter bill permits it to dis
continue such aid at any time after
one year's operation.
When a person who has been re
ceiving benefits dies, leaving an es
tate, the county may claim payment
from the proceeds thereof an amount
equal to all pension payments made,
plus 3 per cent simple interest upon
them.
County Judge to Administer.
The county judge is given author
ity to receive applications and fix
the amount of pension of each case,
not exceeding $250 per annum. One
whose request has been refused may
not apply again within a year.
Should the circumstances of a pen
sioner change so that he does not
longer need county aid, the certifi
cate issued to him may be revoked
by the county judge.
False representation or imperson
ation or the use of other fradulent
means to obtain a pension, either for
one's self or for another, is made
punishable by a miximun: fine of
$500, or a jail term not exceeding
one year, or both.
BANK'S EARNINGS TUMBLE
New York The effect of an era
of extreme ease in credit conditions
is mirrored in the annual fitatement
of the New York federal reserve bank.
issued Monday, which shows that
net earnings dropped from $12,263.
000 in 1929 to $4,588,000 in 1930.
Under the federal reserve act mem
ber banks, holding stock equal to I
percent of their capital anc surplus,
receive dividends at the rate of 6
percent, payao?t semi-annually, so
that all but $574,605 was distribut
ed la that miniier. The rest was car
ried to surplus.
Dividends were larger, altho the
paid in capital, shrank from $67,-
301.458 to $65,577,650 due to a re
duction in capital of banks and the
closing of the bank of United States,
a private institution which was in
no way connected with the govern
ment. Dividends however, are paid
on the average amount of capital
outstanding.
The shrinkage in income was
mainly aTtributable to the reduced
earnings from loans to member
banks and discounting of el gible pa
per for them, the rates cn which
were of course much lower in 1930
than 1929.
