pennies. For instance , in a $10 gold

and 10 per cent of copper put in to

Soon to be1 Finished |
David City , Neb. , Feb. 24. The
third week of the Lillie murder trial
began Monday morning. When court
adjourned Saturday evening the state
had introduced twenty-five witnesses
of the forty-six endorsed on the in-J
formation. It is generally under
stood that some of the witnesses for f
the state will not be called until the
testimony of the defense is in , when
the state will introduce evidence in
rebuttal. Counsellor the state think
they will conclude the examination
of witnesses by tomorrow evening.
Mrs. Lillie is showing the effects of
the trying ordeal. She is pale and
presents a care-worn , tired appear
ance , but seems to take great interest
In the case by watching every word
of the testimony as given by the wit
nesses on the stand. Occasionally
she speaks to her counsel , presumably
In reference to the evidence adduced
by the witnesses on the stand. Con
sidering the gravity of the crime with
which she is charged and the fact
that she is not a person of more than
average physique she is standing
the trying ordeal with remarkable
fortitude.
The jury , being all farmers , do not
altogether relish the close confine
ment which they are required to en
dure. They are given out door exer
cise every day , but this is not suffi
cient to fully satisfy them. How
ever , they are submitting to their
condition cheerfully. Yesterday the
Jury , accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Varin and Bailiff Hackworth , attend
ed the Congregational church and
listened to a sermon delivered by
Rev. Edwin Booth as attentively as
they listened to the eloquence of the
attorneys in the court room.
When court convened this morning
there were very few spectators in the
court room. Edward L. Hunyon was
the first witness. He said in part : I
' 'I am engaged in the broker busi
ness , working for Shuman. The na
ture of the business is buying and
selling options on the Chicago board
of trade. Mrs. Lillie traded with me
in my line of business from August
7 , 1902 , to the time of Mr. Lillie's
death. She would either order grain
bought or sold and put up the mar
gins. This was done mostly over the
telephone , but on one or two occa
sions I saw her personally. Tne
.
margins were most always , with one
er two exceptions , sent to me through
the postoffice. She paid me in money.
From the 7th day of August , 1902 , to ]

th > time of Mr. Lillie's death she |
paid me S515 , and she had a credit on
the 7th day of August of $510. Her
losses were $1,025.00.
"On the 23rd day of October , 1902 , w
she gave me an order to sell ten thous
and bushels of corn. She gave me
this order some time in the forenoon [ j
by telephone , but as the market was ti
going up I did not place the order.
' She called me two or three times
about the matter and I told her the , .
margin would be $200 and if the mar
ket still went up it would be more ,
and she said she would get the mon-
ney to me that night or the next
as
morning. "
"Two or three days after this Mrs.
Warren brought a note to me , and on
the 28th of October I received anoth
er communication from Mrs. Lillie.
Some times she would pay me the
margins on the day they were called
and sometimes I would not get it till
the next morning.
"On the afternoon of October 23 I
had a conversation with Mrs. Lillie
over the telephone , and she asked me

The letter delivered to Mr. Runyon

$1,300 on the board. "You know that
it is not so , and I wish you to brand
it as false. Stick to what I ask of

"That little trade I had there , I

make it all right some day. I think
it is going to make me some money
soon. They have no way of knowing
anything only through you , and I beg
of you to be careful. You understand ,

that you never received any margin

amount was merely inclosed in an en

DEFENSE OFFERS ThbTIMONY-
State Contest to Rest in Lll it Murder Trial
Strong Chain of bvidence.
David City , Neb. , Feb. 25. Vfti
more than two weeks occupi d a
wholly in the introduction of testi
mony , the state Tuesday rested in the
prosei 11 m of L na M. Lillie , charg :
ed with Lh maid r of her husband.
From the standpoint of the prosecu
tion it has been well handled and a
remarkably strong chain of circum
stantial evidence established. It is
hardly thought the defense will re
quire the time occupied by the prose
cution.
At this time the state rested its
case , and the defense began calling
witnesses.
Mrs .Georgie Leper was the first
witness for the defense. She said in
part : "On the morning of October
24 , 1902,1 was at the Lillie home and
saw Mrs. Lillie. 1 went from there
to the hospital. Mrs. Lillie was
there , and she told me that in the
morning she was woke up by a shot ,
a d saw a man standing at the head
of the bed pointing a revolver at her.
She was crying all the time , saying
she wished it could have been her in
stead of her husband ; that Edna
thought so much ol him. She was
continually asking how Harvey was ,
and wanted to go upstairs where Mr.
Lillie was. She was weak and faint.
\Ve \ took her out of doors and one of
bhe ladies got some camphor. After
this they took her upstairs. Ed Hall'l
and I went up with and assisted her.
When she arrived in the room she
dropped down into a chair , laid her'
head on the bed and kept saying'Oh ,
flear , oh dear , why couldn't it have
been me instead of Harvey. ' Mr. '
Elall and I helped her down stairs.
Mrs. Lillie was not dressed warm
enough. Mrs. Woodward got some '
other clothing and I assisted in put
ting them on her. Mrs. Lillie was j '
crying and asking how Harvey was i
all this time. In a-sisting in dress-.a
ing Mrs. Lillie I noticed there were j 1
DO pockets in her clothing. Mrs.c'
Lillie went homo about 9 o'clock. I
tvent over there soon after she got
home and took her back to the hospital -
pital with my horse and buggy. On
the way to the hospital Mrs. Lillie
tvas crying and feeling very badly , i
After we arrived at the hospital she
isked Ed Hall how Harvey was , and
tie fiid he was about the same. Mrs.
Lillie went home a little after 12
5'clock , ate her dinner with the rest. j
could not say whether she ate
heartily or not. She was feeling
badly and her actions were not natur- '
il. She went back to the hospital
ifter dinner. Hewitt and Ed Hall i
Id vised her not to go to the room
tvhere Harvey was , as she could do
him no good. She remained there
antil Mr. Lillie died.
"I have been in the home of Mr.
md Mrs. Lillie and they got along
rery nicely. I never saw a cross look
Irom either one of them. I have seen
them at lodge. They were ve y
affectionate. ' '

fvhat their conduct was when Iws
aot there. It has been about two
rears since J saw them at lodge. I 1
have passed the house frequently and
have seen them sitting on the porch.
do not remember any particular
time that I saw thorn together on
bhe street. "
When court convened this afternoon
the cross-examination of Mrs. Leper
continued. She said :
"The sec9nd time Mrs. Lillie went j
the hospital she did not go iutj
the room where Mr. Lillie was. " '
Mrs. Bell Benton said : "I am a
cousin of Harvey Lillie. Since they
tnoyed to David City I have been at
their house two or three times. Mr.
ind Mrs. Lillio. were always kind and .
affectionate toward one another.
Their conversation was always pleasn
ant. "
On cross-examination witness said :
"I cannot recall that I have seen .
. and Mrs. Lillie together but
once. ' '
Mrs. Clara King said : "I saw Mr. a
and Mrs. Lillie quite frequently ; | i
lived on the lot adjoining the Lillie
residence. Mr. and Mrs. Lillie
seemed to be on very friendly terms , n
was Mr. and M s. Lillie's cus o ,1

Hannah Goddard Knapp , his third
wife , murdered at Hamilton , O. , and
her body thrown into the Miama

Knapp had served five prison sen

assault. He had served two terms
at Jeffersonville , Ind. , one at Colum
bus , 0. , one at Joliet , 111. , and one
at Michigan City , Ind. . , to which
prison he was sent from Indianapolis
'in 1896 for assault on Bessie Drapier ,
a child.
Since his return to this city in De
cember ' he has , the police feel sure ,
been guilty of two barn burnings.
When he was convicted for the Dra
pier assault he threatened to get
even with every one concerned in his
conviction. '
Ex-Sheriff Womack , then sheriff ,
gained his enmity. His barn was re
cently burned and several thousand
dollars' worth of fine horses and im
ported cattle were roasted to death.
Al Boardman was one of the jurors
who convicted him. His barn was
burned about six or seven weeks ago.
Almost every hour adds to the long
list of crimes laid to the man's door.

in the letter as her husband had
never spoken to her of the woman.
"He spoke of having a wife at one
time , " she said , "but I did not ask
him any questions. It didn't bother

Mrs. Knapp abused her husband's
(
family and said they had objected to
the marriage.
" 'Jhey wrote to him , " she said ,
"and told him if he did not give me
up they never wanted to see him

Present indications are that Jesse
Roate , a single man about 40 years of
age , who has been for many years
making his home with his sisterMre.
Steve Hartman , a short distance east
of Dawson , has fallen a victim to the
Nemaha. A few days ago Mr. Roate
came in from the field , where he had
been herding cattle , and started for
the IS'emaha river , close at hand , for
a pail of water. He did not return ,
immediately and has not been seen ,
since. Tracks in the snow indicate
that he followed the usual path to a
low footbridge which is about twelve1
inches above the water , and as the
tracks ceased at the middle of the
bridge it is supposed that the unfor
tunate man slipped when he attempt
ed to draw up the watjer. After he
had been gone about twenty minutes
a search was instituted and his cap
was found under the edge of the ice a }
few feet below the bridge , but the *
tin pail was missing and has notbeeru
located yet. In the center of the
stream , both above and below the
bridge , the current is so strong that
no ice formed , and the probabilities
are that if the man fell in his body :
did not come up until it had washed"
under the ice , and in this etenfc it
will likely not be located until She
spring thaw. A large crowd f Men
worked steadily for some time cutting
a channel in the ice and using polea
to search for the body without arafl ,
and yesterday the hunt was aban
doned. The accident occurred but
a short distance from where Mrs.
Harrison fell in and lost her life some
four years ago.
As a rule of life , one finds that the
bruth lies somewhere between first
impressions and final decisions.
