Organ Alleges Unfairness Special Dipiputdi to The Onmim Bee. Bedford. In., Dee. 5.—The fate of Carl Hough, charged with the slay ins of Lillian MeKennev, whose bruised and broken body was found under a bridge 12 miles west of here August LI, was placed in the hands of the jury at 5:10 this afternoon. With charges of their responsibility ringing in their ears, the 12 men filed from the jury box to deliberate upon hte evidence which, during the last 11 days, has entertained the town of Medford and many of the farmers over a radius of t>0 miles. The taking of evidence in the case was stopped Wednesday afternoon. .1. ,T. Hess, assisting in the prnseeu tion of the case, began the summing up. He was followed by Richard Or-, gan. attorney for the defense, who spoke for an hour before court was adjourned. Organ resumed his summing up this morning and continued for two arid one-half hours. He c harged the state with being unfair in the trial, in that it refused to search for th" tw'o men spoken of in Hough’s story of what had happened on the night of Lillian MeKenney’s death. Iless Reviews Case. The two men whom Organ wanted in court spent August It in Hough's company. Hough declared from the witness stand that the men were strangers to him and that he did not knowr their names, and was able to give only a partial description 01 them. Hess, in his address to the Jury, made a point of the distance the de fense•claimed Hough had driven his automobile on four gallons »*f gaso line and the discrepancy with the distance claimed by the state. Ac cording to the defense, Hough’s car ran but 20 miles on four gallons of gasoline. The spite contends that Hough drove 41 miles'before the gas** line gave out. Hess traced the steps which the state alleges Hough took afte rthe death of the girl. He said that Hough had driven to the bridge over West 102 river and had deposited the body of the girl. Then he had driven back to Medford to attempt to establish an alibi. The crime was reviewed from star: to finish os the state has determine! it happened. Attorney Quotes Bible. “He testifies that he left hi* wife with one of these strange men.” Hes*» said to the jury. “If he had thought anything of her he wouldn’t have left her. He testified that he was married but a few days. Could he have cared for a wife whom he would have deserted so short a time after the wedding?” M. K. Brent, assisting Organ in the defense, spoke to the jurors of al legoil Inconsistencies in tlie testimony and impressed them with the serious ness of their responsibility. j. R. Locke, county attorney, nn swered in rebuttal. He quoted pas sages of the Bible and cited the com mandment which says, "Thou shalt not kill.” Pleads for Heath. TTc plended for the death sentence an^ declared that Hough had choked Lillian McKenney to death. "Do you know how long It takes to rhoke a person?” he asked the jury. "It takes two minutes and two minutes is a long time. Just to show you how long It Is. we will have ah polute silence in the courtroom for two minutes ” The county at torn ev drew his watch from bis pocket, raised hi band to demand silence and stood band upraised, waling. There wns not a sound in the court room for those two minutes. The spectators hardly dared to breathe Tf seamed an eternity. Then Locke lowered hi* band and turned once more to ihe Jurors.

Mattie Nettle Griggs ought to be a walking cyclopaedia on husbands. She has had six of them. The only one who hag passed on to his reward was hanged. The others are all living, two nf them behind the gray, bleak walls of prisons. Mrs. Griggs, tvho resides at 11 -S North Nineteenth street, married two men who turned out to be murderers. Her matrimonial ad ventures should prove spicy read ing If she turned author and wrote them up for one of the numerous "confession" magazines. The reason Mrs. Griggs happens to be utilizing newspaper space to day Is because of her divorce suit against Frank W. Griggs, who she alleges was extremely cruel to her. Griggs is the sixth person, male gender, with whom she has tod dled to the altar to murmur those fateful words so that two can live cheaper than one. She took the stand In domestic relations court Friday afternoon and told talcs on Griggs. “The Brute Tied Me I p. "Three times," said Mrs. Griggs, "the brute tied me hand and foot to the bedposts, rut my wrists writh a razor and heat me all over until I was black and bine.

The deed of assignment, according to Mrs. Robinson, provides that if the appeal is successful the morn y shall go to a public trustee to rep Rajah Sir llail Singh, who parted with it in consequence of an allege | blackmailing plot hinging on his r< puted relations with Mrs. Robinson; 1. the rajah refuses to arcepf the money the trustee is empowered to pay the amount to any hospital or charity chosen by him. Further startling developments In the case are impending, according to current reports. The question wheth er the rajah will testify In the com ing criminal prosecutions of William Cooper llobbs and .lames Charles Arthur, Sir Hari s former aide de camp, is much canvassed, but re ports In this connection are contra dlotory. According to some, the Indian po tentate Is not likely to be asked to testify and would probably not assent in do so if oni ed, while others say he is willing either to attend court or to give hi" testimony under affidavit. Contrary to a report printed In an other London paper that the rajah was sailing from Bombay for Eng Inad. the Pally Mall today say* he is now In Europe and can easily be communicated with If necessary.

Six Murderers Are Listed Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, I)er. 5.—Charles AN'. Pool, secretary of state, today shouldered responsibility for permitting five of the eight bankers in the penitentiary, six convicted murderers and five men convicted of assault upon women to appear before the board of pardons and paroles at its meeting Tuesday. December 9. Pool is also secretary of the board of pardons and paroles. Governor t’harles AN*. Bryan and At torney General O. S. Spillman are the other members of the board. Action Creates Talk. The number of bankers and other incarcerated criminals with powerful^ barking to appear at the first meet ing of the board after the November! election has created considerable gos sip in Lincoln. Today Pool and N T. Harmon, clerk of the board of pardons and paroles, went into a de tailed explanation of the affair. “There is nothing significant in the fact that such a large number of well-known inmates of the peniten tiary were given permission to ap pear at the first meeting of the board after election ’’ Pool said. “I am the one who decides on who shall ap pear and I selected this list in order to relieve Air. Harm At of the pressure that has been brought to bear upon him by their friends and relatives, who are clamoring for a hearing." “More .Merit in Other Cases." Harmon, however, doesn’t admit any undue amount of pressure by relatives and friends of the appli cants. He protested against Pools action in placing certain of the In mates before the board. “I will be frank in saying that I wouldn't have permitted certain men who will appear lrefnre the board Tuesday to be on the list of appli cants." Harmon said. “There are many others in the penitentiary who want to appear He'ore the board who have more merit In their cases than some of those in the list selected by Secretary Pool. However, under existing condi-, tlons I am powerless. I merely sub mit a list of applicants and Pool selects those who will be heard. He has taken that power unto himself| as secretary of the boar dand there is no law against It." “Must I se Best Judgment." pool. In his statement, declares himself opposed to the indeterminate sentence law but asserts that as lone as the law is in existence he can do nothing except use his best judgment in selecting applicants. He spoke particularly of the Burl Kirk case. Kirk is serving time for killing a policeman in Omaha. “There wasn't a word said when we k \\* Kirk's partner, AVallie Mar tin. *. hearing a year ago." Pool said. “We didn't parole Martin and we may not parole Kirk." Pool challenged accuracy of the list of bankers furmshed by .lame* o'Con cell, i hief clerk at tlie penitentiary. This list Indicates there are only eight bankets confined* in the insti tution. “That list isn't correct." Pool said. “There nr* at least 2B bankers in the penitentiary." T say the list is absolutely cor rect." O’Connell said. “Kvery man entered In the institution as a banker is on the list. If Mr. Pool thinks it Is incorrect let him come out here and find th* 20 hankers." Willard A*. Matthews Char lei Maixner. Charles Went/, W. K. Ph i by and Loren Cooper are the five bankers who will appear before tlie board requesting a parole The only three remaining bankers in the peni tentiary. according to the list fur nished by O’Connell, are Floyd Ward, Peter Nelson and Hay Lower. “ Itemamber," Fool said, I never talked to the relatives of any of these men. That is against the law It is as dangerous for anyone to talk to a member of the board concerning n j parole nV it is to talk to a juryman | relathe to a trial.

The president from the first re fused a special train, but was will- , ing to take a special car, until rail- | road officials started dickering on the expense, the story goes. “The cost will he S90 a day for the private car and an additional rliarge of 15 fares," railroad repre sentatives informed the White House. It developed that only 10 persons rould lie carried, although 25 fares were demanded; so the president sent one of Ills aides down to the depot to buy tickets and space in an ordinary drawing room of a Pull man rar.

Government agents declare the telegram* will show the words used in an Interna tionally-known code used in Illicit drug traffic.

Through his cross-examination of Manning. Eugene O'Sullivan, de fense attorney, sought to tear down the value of testimony given by gov ernment witnesses who admitted on the stand that they are habitual narcotic users. He also sought by his questions to foroe Mannfhg to admit that House was unfairly questioned and threat ened following hi* arrest, and brought into the case the name of a “mystery sleuth" who took part in the quo* tinning of House but has not testified at his trial. In his cr« ss-examlnation, O'Sullivan stressed the fact that three of the government witnesses ate confessed drug addicts and that two of them have admitted serving penitentiary terms. Must Employ \dd1rt*. Manning insisted in his answers that the government was compelled) to use addicts in order to gain in formation on narcotic trade. O'Sullivan questioned Manning a’, length on the manner of House * e\ amlnatton following his arrest l*n-' der O Sullivan s questioning. Manning admitted that House had been taken directly to the federal building after h»s arrest instead of to the police sta tion or the county jail ' Whit plan had you agreed on for the questioning?"

' he demanded “He is in St. Paul, and could add nothing to the testimony already giv hi,” answered Manning. “Isn't he known .* s the 'hard-boiled, man’ of the narcotic division?" asked O'Sullivan. “Isn't he the one you use to grill your suspects? ' “I’ve never heard him called hard boiled, s i Manning Present at tirlllini. “But he was present when House was questioned?" Yes '* “And the questioning took pH e n* the grand jury room instead of at i the police station?'"
