palo complexion , how ho could have mis
taken her tor a. burglar , llo replied that
ho didn't know whether ho was awake or

his carrying a revolver ? "
"Yes ; I told him that n man of his

dressed in black.
Mrs. Havens was first oncstionrd about
the circumstances of her sister's mar-
ringo to Latter. She then went on to speak
of one of Lauer's ' "pieces of outrageous
brutality. "
I wont to her house ono morning about
10 o'clock , " she said , "and found her
in her btul room crying. A lorn Mother

a part of the skin was taken oil' . "
"How did Mrs. Lauor say she got those
bruises ? " asked General Uowin.
"I object , " shouted Mr. Thurston.
Judge Neville sustained the objection ,
and this branch of the evidence was
dropped.
Mrs. Havens wont on to toll how she
had called on her sister attor the ( list al
leged burglary , when Lancr had , as ho
claimed , tired at a man in the house.
Nothing now on tins subject was drawn

Mr. Julius Ilor was callod. After
reciting the story which Lauer hail told
him the day of the tragedy , ho mentioned
a statement which Lauer made the niglit
after the funeral. "My wife and I called
on htm that night , " said the witness ,
"and ho told us the same story again.

'Yes , just as wido-awako ns l am now.1
"Did any one come in that night ? "
"Yes , several persons. "
"Was Mr. Joe Ilor one of them ? "
"Yes. "
"What did Lanor say when ho saw Her ? "
"I object ta Hint , " intoposod Mr.
Thurston. "It's immaterial . and ir-
relevant. "
Judiro Nevlllo ruled that the evidence
was in order , and the defense ontorud
I its formal exception to the ruling.
Mr. Her then snid , "Lauur appeared
very much oxolted , when ho saw Joe and
said , ' 11 11,1'vo a good mind to

and I could easily read the largo adver

"How was the isinglass in the steve ? "
"Very clean nnd bright. The stova.
gavc out a good light. "
Air. Kwing was then cross-oxamlnod by
Judge bavago about the condition of the
blinds that night.whethcr they were opener
or shut. Ho could not speak positively
on this topic.
SHKAVAS STII.I , AMVH
Mr. C. A. Baldwin was called to the
witness stand. Ho testified to having
gene up to Lauer's house about 1010 ; ! on
the morning of the tragedy , llo was
present at the last part ot the coroner's
inquest. Mr. Laticr had recited to him ,
after the inquest , his .story of the occur
rence. This Mr. Baldwin repeated.
"Mr. Lauer said to mo , " ho testified ,
"that just as soon as ho lired ho got up
. 'Hid saw that ho had shot his wifo. ' I
found her still breathing , ' ho told mo ,
'but I thought that she was dying , or
would die , anyway. ' Then 1 said to him :
'You lifted her up in your arms and put
her on the bed , did you not ? '
" ' ' 'I
'No , ho replied ,
LEFT Iinil FOH THE CORONEK.1
Mr. Bahhvin recited this testimony in
his peculiar dramatic stvlo , and a thrill
ran through the audience as ho uttered
the words : " 1 left her for the coroner. "
Lancr glanced uneasily about him , and
scorned moro perturbed than ho has boon
at any time yet. The prosecution looked
triumphant.
Mr. Baldwin was subjected to a rigid
cross examination , but his testimony
could not bo lialen.
lton > > on L. Benson , a driver for Heim-
rod & Co. > . grocers , was placed on the
stand. Ho testified that on one occasion ,
while the I/uiers wore living at Dan-
roghty's ' house on South Seventeenth
street , ho noticed Mrs. L. with a black
eye and much bruised chock.
Major Goo. L. Dennis , a member of the
coroner'M jury in ttio case , was the next
witness. That in answer to a question
Mr. Baldwin , stated that the room was ,
at the time of the shooting , just as it was
then. ( At that time the blinds were
thrown open. ) Lauer then tola how ho
fired at what ho supposed was a burg
lar. Mr. Baldwin asked him : "Yon
lifted her and laid her on the bed , didn't
you ? " He said , "No , I lot her lay until
the coroner came. "
After Major Dennis had concluded his
testimony , tiio court took a rece.ss until ! 3
o'clock.
IN TUB ArrKKNOO.V.
Mr. Peter Her was recalled nnd asked
what conversation he had with Laner
about making u "dead shot. " Lauer
said lie did not know tvhethor ho was
awakp or asleep , and lired without tak
ing aim , although it proved a dead shot
Mrs. Julius Ilor : " 1 was at Laner's
about three weeks bnforc her death. She
was lying on the bed fiat on her back
with her hands drawn uu to lior shoul
ders. Mrs. J. W. Her and family were
there to dinner that day. "
Mrs. J. W. Her was the no\l witness
and testified that shortly before Mrs.
Lauer's deatli she and her family
worn invited to dinner there. After the
invitation was given , Lauor camoto her
and told her that the visit would have to
be recalled , that Sallic was sick in bed.
She afterwards calh-d and found Sallie
sick , nervous nnd depressed.
In another portion of her testimony
Airs. Ilor said that on Monday night .she
and her husband called on Lauor ,
who , in answer to a question from
her. said : "When I lired I was
just as wide awake as I am now. " "I re
plied , " said Mrs. Ilor , ' "Oh ! why didn't
yon look and see whom you were firing
at ? ' Lauer made no ivply to this. "
Mrs. Her testified that she heard Lauor
that same evening say , referring to Mr.
Joe Ilor " 1 feel like kicking that man
out of the house. "
"Did Mr. Lauer say anything to you
after this ? " asked Gem-mi Cowin.
"Yes ; shortly after that ho came to mo ,
prepared to go out , and said to mo ,
'Good-bye : if I don't como back , good
bye.1"
The witness testified that on another
occasion Lar.or said to her that ho be
lieved Joe Her was kicking up all this
row about the matter. " 1 told him , " said
Mrs. Her , "that ho ought to put himself
in Joe Ilor's place. ' 1 told him that
it was his ( bailers ) niece that had been
ill-treated , ho would bo just as anxious
"or an investigation as Mr. Her and Sal-
io's oilier friends wero.
On cross-examination Mrs. Ilor said
that Lauer in shaking hand i with her had
said : "In case you're not in when 1 got
back . "
, good-bye.
Silas W. Nilcs , of the Unn , testified
that ho interviewed Laner on the day of
the tragedy and Lanor had told him
that the blinds on the cast side wore
closed , but that these on the west side
.verc . as they were that day ( at that time ,
witness testified , the blinds were halfway
open and the curtains halfway up.
I said to him that 1 had never .seen such
a bright moonlight , nnd 1 did not see
how he could have mistaken his wife for
a burglar. Ho did not reply to that remark -
mark , but said , ' 1 made a dead straight
shot , for I hit her right in the center of
the head. I'd have nit her just the same
if she had boon my mother or grand
mother.1 "
Mrs. Goetschins , the mother of the do-
conned , was recalled and testified. She
retold the story of the shooting that
Lauer had given her that morning , "llo
told mo , " she said , "that when ho got up
from the beil ho saw a heaving of her
chest that she was still breathing. 1
said to him : 'Oh , why didn't you bond for
: i doctor ? ' IK replied that ho didn't think
it was necessary. 'I loft her for the
coroner , ' lie said.
' 'Later on , " the witness continued , " !
was kneeling with Lanor in the parlor
besulo the corpse of my daughter. I
asked him : 'John , what did that child
over do to deserve all this ? ' Ho replied :
'Nothing. ' Then I asked him what made
him jealous her , and ho said : 'I loved
her so that I didn't want any ono to look
at her or notice her. I don't know why
I was jnalous , ' "
Mrs. Gootscliius further testified
that Lauor had como to her
that that day , and , lovingly em
bracing her , had oilored to allow
her to have the house and property if she
would only lift the mortgage. She could
bring her boarders there , ho said. "Why
ho did this , I don't know. " saiil the wit
ness. "I knew he never had any love for
me. "
"Look here , " interrupted Jndgo Savage -
ago , "if yon don't make any such com
ments , wo shall got along much moro
comfortably. "
Mrs. Goetsehlus went on , "I told Lauor
that that was no time or place for such
talk. 1 knew that lie did it out of no love
for mo. "
"Whon you and Lauor were kneeling
down by the coilin , did ho shed any
tears ? "
"I did not SPO a tear. "
Mrs. ( lootscliius was cross-examined
severely bv Judge Savago.
"Wcrn't you on good terms wllh
Inner ? " was n kyd of her.
' 'Yes , uj to the tliuo of tiio funeral. "
"D.dn't yon repeatedly put your arms
about him and call him your son ! "
"No 1 didn't. Because I
, . never con
sidered htm as a son. "
"Didn't you kiss him and call him en-
dcarlug names ? "
"No , but ho klssod mo. "
"Ami yon' didn't Vcturn thorn ? " '
"I diil not. ' '
Iloroagray whiskered yokel in-the
jury box tittered uerccptfbly. llova
promptly frowned down by his associates
and subsided.
Mrs. Goetechius further testified that
Lauer said ho wanted Sallie burled on
Sunday. Witness remarked that that
was hurrying her out of the world nnd
Lauer replied that ho wanted her buried
on the Sabbath , because his mother had
been burled on that day.
Mrs. J. W. Her was recalled and in
answer to a question from Gen. Cowin
said that she desired to change a portion
of her testimony made on cross-exami
nation. "When Lanor bade mo good-bye"
she said "ho remarked 'If I don't sco
3-0:1 again , good-byo. ' Ho also said on
the morning of the occurrence that the
coroner's inquest was all a farco. "
On cross-examination by Mr. Thurston ,
Mrs. Ilor admitted that she thought at the
time that Lauror meant ho might bo
lynched.
N. J. Burnham. the next witness testi
fied that on the niglit of the tragedy ho
got up about 1 or a o'clock , wont to the
window and saw the moon shining
brightly. ; 'It was ono of the brightest
nights 1 over saw , " ho said.
Mr Thnrston cross-examined him.
"Mr. Burnham , " ho asked , "you got
homo that niglit , did you ? "
"Yes , sir , " replied the witness.
"Was the moon full ? "
"Pretty near it. "
"Wero there any spots on it ? "
"I guess the spots were there all i ight. "
"Mr. Burnham were you full ? "
"Oh , " replied the witness with a
laugh. "I guess not. "
During this bit of humorous cross-ex
amination Lauer and his sister smiled
quietly. The audience laughed , Mr.
Burnham blushed and the bailft'pounded !
for order.
Major George L , Dennis , who was re
called to the stand , testified n.s to the
time that Lauor had given as elapsing
between the moment ho lired and the
moment ho jumped to the lloor. Ho said
Lhis period was hardly sullicicnt to count
six in a very short timo.
Henry Voss , the architect , was recalled
: uid testified to the location of Iho bullet
liolo on the cascmont which Lauer had
made when ho lired at the first burglar ,
ns ho claimed. Voss also testified to a re
mark made by Lauer when ho went to the
lattor's house to take measurements ,
l-aner asked him what the public senti
ment on the all'air wns , and witness re-
jlied that ho hadn't paid much attention
: o the matter. "Lauor then remarked , "
said Mr. Voss , "that the scandal was all
newspaper talk , anyway , and that that
of a Uosowator was to blame
for the whole row. "
The South Omaha Land company have
appointed ( J. E. Mayne sole agent for the
sale of thoirlots. Ho will sliow _ the prop
erty and furnish all desired information
upon application.

SPOUTING NOTES.
Sonic Pointers on n Timely Topic
The Font-Runncro.
Ono thing is very plain to all men in-
: orestcd in local snorting matters and
: hat is that young Bullock , who has made
a very fair start as a professional rider
s fast running himself into the ground.
[ Ie has developed a remarkable faculty
'or making himself ridiculous in print ,
ilo was fairly and squarely beaten in
ast week's race by an older and butter
nan than himself. Ho first denounces
lie reforce for not refusing Ashingcr the
race on his ( Bullock's ) claim of foul.
I'hat was not enough. He then does a
cmarkablo baby act and accuses Jack
rincc , who has done more to bring him
out than any other man in Omaha ,
of being in a conspiracy to
lown him. To make matters
ivorsp , it is claimed that lie act-used
i'rinco of giving him poisoned chocolate
Irops and thus drugging him. Bullock ,
lowevor denies that ho made the
: hargo , The facts arc that Mr.
I'rinco did nothing of the kind , but that
lltillock purchased the candy himself and
was eating it all the afternoon and oiler-
ing it to his friends. As though ho did
not know , forsooth , that chocolate
creams are not a proper diet for a man
who wants to get to the front in a bicycle
race ! All this will be sworn to by the
man from whom ho purchased the candy.
Not content with throwing mud on
Prince , Bullock actually hcap.i the mire
on himself. Ilo says that he believes
the exposition track is short , and
that all the records made thereon are
therefore worthless. Now , every ono
Knows that by actual swoin Mim-y ton
and one-fifth laps of this Hack make a
mile. Bullock , when ho made his 100-
mile record , did his work on this basis.
Every one was ready to give l.im the
credit of the fastest indoor record made
in America , until by the words of his
own mouth he made himself out not
only an object of ridicule , but a chump
rider as well. He would do well to talk
less and think moro. Hushing headlong
into print may bo as fatal to his pro
fessional future as a first-class header
might be to his neck. He certainly has a
good future before him if lie doss not
throw it away. For his ago and experi
ence on the wheel ho probably has no
equal.
THK ATTACKS ON IMtlNCK.
In this connection it may bo well to lay
bare the animus of the attacks which
arc being ninda on Mr. Prince in a cer
tain quarter. Thny have been instigated ,
from beginning to end , by a clique of
foot runners in this city. These men
were refused the use of the bicycle track
by the expoition directors ( by Mr.
Prince's advice ) , for the purpose of
training. They are consequently angry.
A prominent sporting man and patron
ot local foot runners said , as
long as two weeks ago , that
unless Prince gave in and allowed
the foot-runners the use of the track , ho
would have a certain paper ( naming the
journal which has twice done the work )
"writo Prince up. " Mr. P. lias refused
to "ivo in , and the attacks have been
made as pro-announced.
Secretary Miner , of the exposition
association , said last night : "I have just
learned why Prince is being so bitterly
attacked. A certain clique of foot-run
ners in this city , uith their backers , have
taken this method ot 'doing him up. ' bo-
caused wo refused them the use of the
tr.ick. This is the secret of the
whole all'air. Now the fact is
that Mr. Prince is not to blauia
at all for the foot runners being barred
out of the exposition building. The
directors are responsible for tins. Wo
don't want anything to do with this
class of sport. In nine cases out of ton
foot races are hippodrome all'airs. 1
know from my own personal experience
that foot-runners are low people such
as the exposition managers cannot all'ord
to have anything to do with. Foot racing
never draws crowds , while bicycling ,
which is a gentlemanly sport , does. For
that reason wo propose to give the pre
ference to bicycling. But there U no ex
cuse for all tueso attacks on Mr.
Prince. "

mtnication threatened that any party at-
emping to build a fence or otherwise

A TUMBLE.
It has been our custom at the end of caoli winter season to place on sale , at reduced
priccH , our remaining stock of mens' and youths' winter trousers. There are good reasons
for doing so. We consider it advisable and to our interests to convert into cash , even at
a loss , such merchandise , the sale of which will soon be suspended for six months. Most
men wear out two pairs of trousers with ono coat and vest ; the second pair seems an extra -
tra expense , and a real bargain is very acceptable. We like to gratify such people and
win their good will. We still have on hand about 400 pairs of winter trousers , some odds
and ends , some broken lots , but most patterns are in complete assortment of sizes , and
marked down to prices which merely cover the cost of the cloth.
i
We also have concluded to close out our whole remaining stock of silk neckwear , which
has been selling for 25c , 50c , 75c and $1. There are about MO dozen ami we have marked
them down to lOc , 15c , 25cand 50 , respectively.
One of the secrets of our success during our many years in the clothing business has
been in the closing out of all seasonable goods towards the end of each season , regardless
of cost.
