An Imporlaut Wilntss startles tee Dofensc , And Swears to Have Soon the Boo Office Entorod- Tlio Trial DraivAto a Close It will bo remembered that on the morning of the 17th inst. , about 5:30 : o. c. , n flro was discovered in the compos ing room of TIIK BEB ofllco and that it was generally belioml , nt the time , to bo the work of incendiaries. Two days later , two prinlora , Col. D. I. Ilynos and Frank Wntoon , both workIng - Ing at The Herald oflico wore in cuotody of the ofiicorn , charged with arcon. Their trial began nt 10 n. m. , Thuraday nndlaatod until late hour yesterday after noon. A brief outline of the testimony is herewith given : The first witness was Mr. E.

Those are two in num ber , one brick and ono of frame , connect cd only in the second story and there by iron doors. With the exception of Satur day from 4 p. m. , to Sunday noon , A full force of men ia at work day and night in the ofliccs , there being two regular shifts On Saturday August 10 , there wore men intho'counting ] room until U o clock p. m. end then the establishment was left in care of the watchman There had been no fire at all in the up per story of the brick , which is known as the "composition" room , and which ia heated oven in winter by ntoam. Ono familiar with the buamosa nnd desiring to damage the Institution would natural ly iiro the brick building. It is in this that the type , machinery nnd valuable papers are kept and their destruction would tomporarialy atop the Issue of the . paper. The iron doora would also pro- /out n oproad cf the flames to the adjoin ing house , containing the editorial rooms ind subscription department , the destruc tion of which would not interfere with .ho publication of the paper. The fire , irns in exactly the beat locality for this > urpoBO. The only access to this spot ras by moans of a doorway on the uouth- ast front of the cast , or frame house , rom which a stairway , halls and gangway cad to the iron doors and the composition oom. This door waa tried by the wit less twice on the evening of the 10th , nd found then to bo securely locked , ho last trial being made about o'clock.

K J t this point the court adjourned till hi o'clock p. m. thwi Upon the reconvening of court in the wi tornoon several additional witnesses ) ' examined for the defense.

" A singular story , which will no doubt interest many Omaha people , was on Wednesday brought to light In the con tents of a "suppressed" bill filed in the superior court of Chicago. The Chicago Times , in which It nppctra sars it ia a story of misplaced confidence after nn almost Damon nnd Pythina friendship of many years , John R. Caao is the cmi- plainant and ( Jeorgo W. llomiu , Jr. , n supposcdlv wealthy botrd of Irado spec ulator , and his wife Martha Homan are the defendants. Mr. Case is a man of wealth and lives nt the Leland hotel. Ho says in his bill that for years ho has been on terms of the most intimate friendship with the Homnns , especially so in relation to Mrs. Homnn , whom ho had Known since 1800 , and in Iwhosofather's family ho had lived when a boy. From such acquaintance with her ho had como to regard her with almost "brotherly" af fection. Ho had known Homan about six years , during which time ho had boon on terms of intimate friendship with him , and , from his apparent good will , Homan gained his full confidence and esteem. V rom repeated conversa tions with Homan , Case says ho sup posed that Hainan > , waBTn man of largo mcnns nnd owned considerable property , both real and personal , Homan having ) ften said that ho was worth ovpr § 150- , )00. ) TJio Homan family resided on Michigan avenue , in fine style , nnd Case ros in the habit of calling on them very ifton nnd visiting them confidentially as in intimate friend and nlmost ns a mom- jor of the family. In May last Homnn irns in Now York city , and during his .bsonco Mrs. Homan uont a n note t6 I /aso , at the Leland hotel , aying that she was in great trouble nd wanted to ace him. Ho at once ailed at the family residence , No. 322 dlchigan avenue , and found Airs. Homan pparuntly in great distress of mind and o indisposed as to bo unable to sty up. iho told him that her husband was in Tew York and that they had some deals n the board of trade that wore suffering , nd , unless immediate relief were afford- d , great loss and posaibly ruin would iisuo. Ono of the iirm of Dwight & Gil- 1 3tto , bankers , had boon to BOO her about largins to bo put up , but aha did not nmprohond just how the matter stood or hat the difficulty was. She also inform- cl Case that her husband had made or- mgomonta with the First National bank ) borrow $15,000 , aud that aho had jreod to give a mortgage on the Mich- ; an avenue property an security for the ian. Case went to Gillette the next day id was informed that Hainan's margins ere exhausted except about 52,000 or ) ,000 , and that ho , Gillette , must have ore. Case then went to . J. Gage , vice president of io first national bank , where ho wns in- C rmod that Homan had been there to irrow the $15,000 , _ but that the bank id declined to loan it on the property. 0 at once infcr./icd Mrs. Homan , who _ omod much discouraged and piteously ] V kcd what aho should do. Case suggest- that Gillette might bo willing to tnko Bcl mortgage OD the property , but Mrs. Bclc oman refused to give Gillette n mort- go , saying oho had no confidence in m. ( Jaso BiH thnt if ho could borrow 0 money he would loan it to her. Ho is rewarded with profuse thanks , which 1 now thinks is about all he is likely to coivo. The husband returned from ow York a few days laterand expressed msolf in the highest terms of gratitude r thu assistance rendered by Case , re- arking tlm ! , "a friend in need is a friend deed. " Mr. Caao now thinks that io proper version by Homan for lould have been "a friend in : ed is the friend to bleed. " ' fter some conversation about his eastern ip Homau spoke of Gillette , who , ho eld id , had unduly annoyed him for mar- iia. The following day Uoman called trc ion Case and aaid ho was obliged to do- md 011 him formonoy for Gillette. He id his wife would join in a mortgage of 10 houses at NOD. 322 and 323 Michigan venue , out au ho was in a great hurry go banl to Now York to finish some iii loss , lie niiglit lot the mortgage part u rest for n short time , during which > hoped to bo able to repay the loan id nave iho expense of preparing and cording the mortgage. Case thereupon 'ow lib check for $15,000 and gave it to oman , who remarked that at any time i wanted the mortgage to secure him ho Ha uld have it , at the same time handing HaM in n promieory note for $15,000 as a M ainorandum , the note being in no way signed to affect the arrangement us to curity. Oa-jo lot the matter rest until jgust 12 , when , iho loan not having en repaid , ho went to Homan to cot 0 promised mortgage as security. Ho- in declined to fultil the agreement , and milled that ho was not worth any pro- r y in his own name , his wife being a owner of all the real cstato. Case on reminded him of thu instances when had represented himself an worth a out deal of money , when Hainan , the 1 alleges , otclalmed : "Yes , I know nm n thief and a liar nud all it sort of thing , but that don't mend 9 matter , and I'll pay you an Boon as ttet : an. " Ho said that his wife positively 'used to give the mortgage or cigu ate to , Case fuyn Unit though ho has ro- utedly asked Mr. nnd Mrd. Homnn to ro him necnrity for the loan to thorn , they had faithfully ugrocd to do , they 'use to do so , and he charges that It is ir intention and design to cheat him t of his $15,000. lie therefore asko ) court to order a specific performance the agreement , nnd to enjoin them im disposing of or incumburing their iporty.
