The town of Central City has appeal ed to the supreme court from a $2,000 judgment secured by Mamie Engle who received injuries by falling on a defective sidewalk The state has also brought a criminal case in the court for review in the hope of securing a decision to serve as a precedent in future cases of the same kind. The defendants, Frank and Fred Kneophoff, were acquitted on the charge of burglary in Antelope county, a verdict having been directed by the court. Lincoln Journal. The city of York won the sewerage case against the farmers along Beaver creek near the city Thursday Judge Sornberger handed down his decision of his findings and states that the drainage of York was naturally and necessarily into Beaver creek and that a stream run ning through land does not belong to the owners of the said land and that the tes timony did not establish the fact that York's sewerage would not for many years contaminate or pollute the water so that it would be unhealthy to live near the creek In Sunday's Omaha World-Herald appears the second of a series of articles on the campaign of the Thirth-ninth Infantry in the Philippines. There are quite a number of Nebraska boys in this regiment. The description of the capture of Puenta de Yiga is very inter esting, and none of it more so than where the part taken by Sergeant Fred Rollin, of this city and a veteran of Ne braska's "Fighting First" regiment, is detailed. He was the first American to cross the Gateway of Batangas," and a moment later the barricade was alive with men swarming over it. and Puenta de Yiga was taken. We have aimed elsewhere to give the substance of the testimony heard by the jury in the case on trial in the dis trict court before Judge Hollenbeck, in which Nicholas J. Gentleman is charged with the murder of Mr. Oleson last De cember. Summarized very briefly, evi dence on the part of the state has been adduced to prove the facta of assault, the threats made, etc. And on the part of the defence to show the state of health of the accused, his habits of drink, etc:, during the last year, evi dently aiming to show that Mr. Geatle man was not in his right mind at the time of assault. The foregoing is written at the close of the examination of wit nesses Monday noon, and before the evidence o the "experts. The sum mary at testimony given brings the case to the recess this (Tuesday) forenoon It is supposed now that the case will perhaps be given to the jury this (Wed- )sveing. t During' the last week the court room has beea filled during the working hoars of the court, and many who do not usu- r ally attend the sessions, were attracted by the unusual spectacle ot a man on trial for his life. Nicholas J. Gentleman is charged with the murder at Platte Center, on the fifth day of December, 1900. ot Soren Oleson. Up to Wednesday evening1 sixty men had passed into the jury box, only ten of them bearing; the test of examination of cause and peremptory challenge. Before court adjourned for the evening the first venire of fifty had been exhausted and a second for thirty had been issued. By Thursday evening a jury was secured as follows Nicholas Adamy, farmer, Sherman township. Otto Kohlweit, farmer, Grand Prairie. Charles S. Easton, merchant, city. William Swartsley, farmer, city. Fred. Asche, merchant, city. H. C. Newman, merchant, city. Jay Stevens, liveryman, city. Rudolf Mueller, farmer, Shell creek Julius Schram, farmer, Columbus. Robert Herschbrunner, laborer, city. Joseph Henggler, farmer, Bismark Frank Morse, painter, city. The jury were sworn and court ad journed to 9 o'clock Friday morning. Friday morning the examination of witnesses began, after statements of the case. Mr. Gondring stated to the jury that the. prosecution expected to prove the crime was committed deliberately by Gentleman, and that every material alle gation in the information, showing the defendant clearly guilty of the greatest crime known, they expected to prove. Judge Albert, on behalf of Gentleman, spoke very highly of the character of Soren Oleson, and said if the death had been caused by malicious premeditation, then it was a most atrocious crime. But he said that the act was entirely without provocation, and that this fact alone is the highest possible evidence that some thing was radically wrong in Gentle man's mental condition. He further went on to state that Gentleman had acted very queerly before making this assault, and that his actions were due to the fact that he had received a heavy blow on the skull. Mrs. Gentleman sits beside her bus band in the court room. Justice Oleson of Ashland, brother of the deceased Soren Oleson, is in at tendance. D. P. Mahoney, the first witness, gave testimony in regard to the location where the shooting was done. Pat Hayes. Knew both. Knew Ole son 7 or 8 years. Saw him (defendant) in my office, the marshal's office. I left the office locked when I left it in the morning. I did not unlock it from that time until I found him in my office. When Icameback I found the door ajar. I walked in and found defendant. As he walked out, I saw the end of my gun hanging down, I ordered him to bring back my gun. He kept right on about three steps ahead of me. When he got to the shop I heard a shot He shot at Soren Oleson; he raised the gun up and fired quick. Could not say if he held butt of gun against his shoulder. (Iden tifies gun.) He said "Good-bye,. Oleson," when shot fired. Oleson jumped and caught gun with left hand and Gentle man swung him around, and then Rob ert Wilson caught him. The second shot went over my head. Oleson's shop is 140 to 160 feet from my office. I had left gun in my office covered with a news paper. There were cartridges in the office belonging to the gun, lying on the table; other cartridges in a box, some buckshot They were loaded with pow der and leaden ball or shot to fit the gun that has been introduced in evidence. I examined at my office and found some four of the buckshot cartridges gone. Gentleman knew that I kept a gun in the other office and knew that as marshal I always kept a gun in my office. That afternoon when I found him in my office I saw nothing peculiar in his conduct I noticed that his face had been cut or had a piece of paper on his face. I don't remember saying that he had no busi ness to shoot Oleson. He is married to my first cousin. We have printed Mr. Hayes' evidence fully from notes taken. He has been much blamed for not, as marshal, arrest ing Gentleman for drunkenness, at least an hour before the shooting. Ed. Jochn'xl. Dr. Geo. F. Pugh. The shooting was between 4 and 4:30. Heard two shots. I went over to the blacksmith shop. Olson said "Look how that man shot me?" I said "What man?" He said "Gentleman," and asked if I could do anything for him. I got him to my office. He bled profusely. It was the right arm. The wound was arterial, from half a dozen to a dozen small buckshots. He was nervously prostrated and kept on sinking. He died from loss of blood and the nervous shock He died bstween 3 and 3:30, of the 7th of December. Drt Hansen testified to his connection witfir;the case. The wound was as wide as jihe arm itself and was all torn to the bone., Harry Preston, photographer. Saw defeadant angle across street from saloon corner to Oleson's shop with a shot gun. As he stepped' into shop, see him draw gun and heard two shots. I saw him prior to that time, about ten minutes go in almost same direction and stood in front of shop, look into shop and then return. He went in direction of Pat Hayes' office. When I first saw him there was nothing unusual about him except that he had a scratch on his face. Went about the same gait both times. Carried gun under coat but part of it showed very plain. Was going on a faster walk than usual Passed within 6 or 8 feet of me. Didn't draw the gun out until about the time he shot After seeing him going to Oleson's I was alarmed because I had heard of his tnreata of killing Oleson. I saw Pat Hayes follow him. I did not observe him talking to any one while going back and forth. Ifirat saw him early morning of that day. Robert Wilson. I was in the shop at time of shooting. I was mixing mortar. Oleson was carrying brick from the side walk Shooting took place about 4 p.m. He came in the door, took aim at Oleson and fired. Oleson was then going out for brick. Oleson was about six feet from him. when he fired. Gentleman stood on the sOl of the door a double doorrboth open. The sOl about 8 or 10 feet from sidewalk. I heard no word before the firing. Not more than a Qts so tinw at alL Oksoa juatwd and caught guBwkh left haad. Gentle man was trying 6 get the gun is range so as to shoot him again- He swung around, and as the second shot was fired I got hold of him by the aeckv - Oleson never ased right arnu He screamed as ; he got hold of the gun- T heard threats I uo or aoouc ucc in, iuu tie sua in regard to a horse said he would learn ' him not to interfere in his bnninpan. After that he struck Oleson on the side of the face and knocked him on bis hands and face, Oct 19 ia front of MofEtt's laad office. His was giving him abuse and said he would learn him not to monkey with his business. Knocked him on hands and knene, and afterwards pushed him off the sidewalk and then kicked his hat aad kicked at Oleson as he west into the drag-store. Two hours before told me he was going: to get Ole son to shce the horse- Wanted me to seep away so l would not get hurt Said he was a man eater. He was going to hare Oleson hustle with the horse. I told Oleson and he refused to shoe the horse. Mr. Oleson had G. arrested soon after on a peace warrant Mr. Oleson was about 34 or 35, and about 165 pounds in weight Oleson rebuked him for besting the horse. Gentleman was whipping a horse, and Oleson asked him what he was doing, and he said he was breaking' a man eater. Oleson told him that was not the best way to break him. I didn't see Nick that day until the time of the shooting. Saw him just as he raised the gun. I was about twenty-five feet off. .As I got him on the bench and Pat Hayes and Dr-Conlan came isaftsr the gun was taken from him, I helped him on his feet I noticed a cut on his face jast on a line under the eye. I noticed nothing in his appearance more than usual only that he was mad. Pat Hayes and I took him to the jail. Mrs. Mahlon Clother testified as to some talk about horse beating. Miss Cummings testified that Gentle man had said he had knocked Oleson down and would do it again. Jesse McKinzie testified as to threats of Gentleman. Englehorn, wagon maker. My shop in back part of Oleson's shop. I was in my shop day of shooting. It was about 4 o'clock I heard a gun shot and imme diately after a second shot I rushed in and saw Gentleman on the vice-bench and Wilson holding him. As I came up Pat Hayes jerked the gun away. Oleson held right hand with the left while the blood was flowing out on the floor. John F. Webster. Testified as to threats. Thought Gentleman was about as sober as he usually was. Thought he was a great deal intoxicated. Threat ened to kill Van Allen and Martin Burns also. John Kipp. Knew both men. Heard Gentleman make threats in Frevert saloon about 2 o'clock Heard him say that he was going to kill Oleson, Burns and Van Allen before the sun went down. He looked angry. I saw him drink out of a mug something about noon. I thought he was looking for tronble. I saw him the same way before. Acquainted with him eight years. I didn't see him stagger or act like one intoxicated. C. J. Carrig. Past two years defend ant's memory was bad and he was at times quarelsome with customers, owing to his drinking habits. At times would buy, not knowing market prices. For past two years drank to excess. For a month prior to December 5, he was in no condition to do bis part of the business. He did no business for a month prior to December 5. In October said he was having a talk with Oleson in regard to breaking broncho. Next day said he would take broncho to Oleson and have a little fun with him, etc My opinion is that he was insane. Defendant's wife my first cousin. My partnership with him was for about two years up to Dec. 6, 1900. Bank account kept in name of Carrig & Gentleman. Both of us drew on the bank by partnership checks. On Dec. 6 we had a general settlement of our partnership affairs and had a notice of dissolution published. On 7th I pur chased his real estate for about 37,000. I negotiated with him and the family, both. His interest in the land was $5,000. I didn't say he was insane on the 6th of Dec. when I bought the land. Robert Gentleman. Am brother of defendant For the past four or five years he has been drinking and for the past two or three years he has been drunk all the time, pretty much. Dur ing the past year or two he would say I was working against him. Also accused others of same. These others were not working against him. Said they were trying to get him out of business. A year ago Ed. Rogan and Nick made a trade and next day I called on him and told him that Rogan would give 310 to trade back He told me it was none of my G d business. I saw de fendant on Dec. 5, about 1 o'clock on railroad track When I got there he was coming south, with a knife. I said "Nick, give me the knife." His eyes stuck out wild in his head. His face was covered with blood. His conduct was not that of one rational. He had his coat off and was in his shirt sleeves. There were several present and he then walked down' the street, and he just opened Niemoller's store and walked on. He passed over the other side and still had knife in hand. I next saw him about 3 o'clock. He was then up near Frevert's saloon. He was alone. Dr. Conlan was looking' after him. I next saw him when Bob Wilson and Hayes were patting him in jaiL For a year or six months he acted strange toward my family. Sometimes be was friendly and sometimes otherwise. His opinion of himself was that he was a good man and that he was smarter than most men, and could make money. He said people wanted to get him out of business be cause he was too smart far them. Mrs. D. C. Kavanaugh. First cousin. I met defendant frequently the past year. To my knowledge he has been drinking fire years. I frequently talked to him about it Saw him in November; met him early in morning; after election. He spoke to me and I saw that he did not remember where I was going. D. BL Carrif: Saw him, day of trouble, in my saloon. He came to the door for about a minute, then came in with right hand in his pocket and with his left hand pounded on the bar. He then went oat and stood at door for about a minute. He drew out a revolver in part at door. He sometimes talked strange about certain parties trying to run him oat of tows. Win.O'Callahss, jr.

Had examined Gentle man for restlessness, nervousness and want of sleep and at times a tremor which passed over his body, as he told me, and also his mind, making him for getful. I found a sort of tremor in his hand, nervous trouble, and a slight tremor of the tongue. He also complain ed of a pain in the head that came at times. I also found a quick pulse.

He has been using liquor to a great extent the past year. It made him nervous and irritated. Would drink before breakfast and if he did not have it would go down and get it It affected his memory. Would be nervous in the morning when he got np. Could not hardly dress himself unless he had a drink I saw him Dec 5, near Van Allen's office. He had some trouble with Martin Burns. He made an effort to find Burns. Said he would kill Burns. Saw him half an hour later at the house. He was nervous and bis face was cut Would look out through the window. He went into the bed-room and got a revolver and put some kero sene oil on it Seemed he was looking for some one. He referred to Mr. Van Allen, Burns and later Oleson as being against him. Also thought Dave Carrig and others were against him. I next saw him and Dr. Conlan going down town. I sent word to Dr. Conlan that he had a revolver. I did not see him again until after he was arrested. For past three or four months was excitable and imagined that some people were after him. I think there was no cause for his suspicion. I know the revolver he got at the house was not loaded. Don't know if the revolver would revolve without being oiled. Said he was going to kill Mr. Burns. Defendant about 38. Don't know if he drank anything on the morning of Dec. 5. He talked about Mr. Burns, Van Allen and Oleson. He had trouble with them. Burns and Oleson had him arrested before that also Van Allen. Mr. Van Allen was in the grain business. He was my hus band's competitor in buying hogs and was so on Dec. 5. During-the past three years my husband drank to excess. When drinking he was quarrelsome.

Frank De Bere. Live in Platte Cen ter. Veterinary surgeon. Know de fendant intimately past three years. He used liquors to excess the past year. Dr. Hanson. Drunkenness would lead to want of function or partial lass of function, where a man drinks so his men tal faculties would be more or less abnormal with a weakening of the will power and moral powers. I treated him for the drink habit far three weeks some three yeara ago. He qnit the treatment before he was cured. I think he knew right from wrong Dec. 3 I900; tht he was able to know right from wrong as to the crime of murder. The longer the excessive use of liquor is continued, the will power ia decreased. Dr. Evans. After the lengthy hypo theical question in which the facts were assumed, gave as his opinion the mental condition of Gentleman was abnormal. Under the conditions stated he consid ered him insane. Long continued, ex cessive use of alcohol overpowers the will and conscience. Mr. Hoppert gave it as his opinion that Gentleman was sane. John F.Webster. Gave is as his opin ion that Gentleman was sane Dec 5. Hopkins. Thought he had mental power to know right from wrong, Dec 5. Robt Wilson. Had. assisted in arrest ing Gentleman. After being pat into jail he shot oat through the door and shot two that I know of me and Mr. Hayes. Dr. Martyn. After hearing the very lengthy hypothetical question, thought Gentleman's mind was in an abnormal condition. The excessive use of alcohol causes the brain to degenerate, the tissues being impaired. I would say he was insane. Dr. Conlan testified as to consulta tions with Gentleman. Dr. Tiesing. In reply to one lengthy hypothetical question, answered: "I shonld think his mind was unbalanced." To another question: "I should think his mind was abnormal. My opinion is that he was insane." Dr. Yintacke. In my opinion he was sane on that day, Dec 5. P. Hayes. About two years ago had a fuss in a billiard hall, and he struck me and afterwards said he would kill me. That is the only threat he made against me. I think he was sane enough on Dec 5 to know the difference between right and wrong as regards the taking of the life of a human being-. Dr. Green. I reside at the University Place, Lincoln. Have had 16. years practice. For past 11 years have given my whole time in treating diseases of the mind. I have had this practice in Iowa and Nebraska. Was assistant superin tendent of as? lams in both states. Also treated at Norfolkasyium. Have treated different persons for alcoholism. Upon the hypothetical question propounded to the physicians yesterday, if the facta were as stated, it would indicate an abnormal condition for the time being. I observed the defendant yesterday and his movements, also, today. My opinion is that organic disease is permanent Organic disease means change of tissue. Of the nervous system it is permanent The brain is the large mass of the ner vous tissues. If degeneration of the brain existed last 5th of December it would be apparent on defendant now. Judgimr from motions and appearance now, there is no apparent degeneracy in his system. If he had insanity last Dec caused by degeneracy of the brain, he would be insane now. The hypo thetical question was asked the doctor (a very lengthy statement of facta proven, and assumed and yet to be proven, as stated), and the doetar's aas- UI would say he was MM." fft,
