The first charge struck Rinemil ler in the neck, the second in the chest as he sank to the ground. In his confession, made later in the day in the office of F. W. Bartos, Schuerman said that he had found Rinemiller in his home on several occasions and had warned him to stay away. When the man failed to obey the command Schuerman told him that he would make him stay awa y. "He was breaking up my homo and t had to stop it," Schuerman de clared. Then, one day, Schuerman returned home just >in time lo Wee Rinemiller leaving the house by the back way. The man was so far out in the field by the time Schuerman saw him that Schuerman pretended not to have noticed him. The next morning Schuerman took his shotgun am® went away from home. He met Rinemiller and the foreman near the Gage-Saline county line and killed hint. Case Reviewed. Schuerman, his confession con tinues. then went back home, cleaned and put away the shotgun and start ed for the Platte river with the in tention of committing suicide. On the river -bank he lost his nerve and then went to Bartos' office. This morning Schuerman entered the courtroom, handcuffed to Sheriff Sailing. Tile handcuffs were a mat ter of form and were not used when he left the courtroom this evening He, was dressed in a new black suit, was clean shaven and seemed as com posed as anyone in the room.

I "" 111 i ■ - i Roeder Attorney m Denied Directed Verdict in Suit Judge Troup Rules Jury Must Decide Alleged Malprao tiee Case; Goes to Jurors Today. Judge A. C. Troup Wednesday denied motion of attorneys for Dr. Clyde A. Roeder for a directed verdict in favor of the surgeon. The1 jury probably will Vie given the $30,000 damage suit Thursday noon. The suit of Averdine Seeley, 4, Magnolia, la., against Dr. Roeder is the subject of much discussion throughout Nebraska and adjoining states. Judge Troup's court was packed Wednesday afternoon while David Fitch and William Gurley, Roeder's attorneys, made intense but futile efforts to persuade the Judge to take the case from the jury. Jury to Decide. ‘‘I have allowed the attorneys to present fuller and more complete arguments on this motion than is customary on motions of dismissal,” stated Judge Troup. “I did this be cause it is a very peculiar case and the evidence surrounds It in mystery. Th» evidence is uncertain and leaves a situation in which no one can place a finger on one certain fact and de cide one way or another. "Two points are paramount—the i^xinge was extracted from the little girl's stomach on April 10, by Dr. A. P. Condon: it could not have found its way there before the operation of Dr. Roeder on January y2. in my judgment, a jury should decide this case.” Following the decision of the judge, Janies Rait, attorney of Mrs. Rulu Seeley, mother of Averdine. opened the address to the Jury for the plain tiff. It is human to err, he said, and through an over sight a gauze sponge entered I he abdominal cavity of the child while Dr. Roeder was operat ing. Plaintiff Scores. Fred Wright, who followed Rait in an address for the defense, called to the jurors' attention the fact that Rail's theory was absolutely unfound ed, nurses who attended the opera tion having testified that all the sponges used during the operation were accounted for and that they were of an entirely different pattern and construction from the sponge taken from the child's abdomen by Dr. Condon. Defense Rests. The defense rested Wednesday morning. A point was scored by plaintiff's attorneys when they pre vented the introduction in evidence of records of the district court, which ii T. L.
