"Tlio stnto will rust , your honor , " s\lil :
States Atlornay Siincrul when court
opunod at ton o'clock yustuntny morning.
The evidence for thopro-iucutlon had been
concluded and thu taking of testimony
\vns turned over to the defense. Laner
occupied his usual feat by Messrs Sav.i < ? B
iindThurston. His sister , Miss Minerva
Liuior , sat immediately behind him. The.
crowd in thu lobby was not as large ,
Mioujrli the female presence was more
noticeably than on any other day yet.
Lee A. Williams , a saddle-colored mu-
'ntto , was the lirst witness for the de
fense. Ho testified to
TIII : Ai.tioEu : i'in.JUiiY :
committed by the washerwoman , Emma
Hell. The witness testified that iv day or
two after thu preliminary examination in
police court Kminix LJoll was at his housu
and said that she had just committed a
great wronjr , that she had sworn to some
thing she xuew nothing about. She had
sworn against .John Lauer whom shu had
never seen before. That she was to re
ceive $100 for swearing us she did.
"iMy wife a&kcd her , 'How could you
do such a thing * ' "
"She replioil , 'I did it , 1 know , but I am
Berry for it.1"
"Did Mrs. Hell furthermore say to you
that she had never been in the Lauer
house , and that if shu had to find it that
night hlio wonl'l have to sleep out of
doors ? " asked Jiidgo Thurston.
"She did , " renlied the witness ,
"You may take the witness , " said the
defense.
General Cowin subjected Williams to a
rigid cross-examination. Williams testi
fied to the marriage of himself and wife
in Topeka , Kan. , in 1881 , and their sub
sequent separation , which occurred a few
months ago.
"What caused this separation , " asked
General Cowin.
"Wo couldn't agree , " replied the wit
ness.
"You had trouble ? "
"Yes. "
"What trouble was that ? "
"Oh a good deal of trouble. "
"That's not answering my question , "
replied the general. "Was it your fault
or tier's ? "
"Her's I guess , " answered the witness.
"Then you were all right ? You were
not to blamu ? "
"I guess 1 was. "
At another time Williams testified
that the first time ho ever heard Mrs.
Bull toll about the case was one evening
n day or two before the preliminary ex
amination , when the lady came in and
remarked that she had just sworn to a
lie. The witness said that ho was read
ing a paper when Mrs. Boll came in a
paper which ho thought contained an
account of Lauer's testimony on the pre
liminary examination.
"Your'e Laucr's
sure yon wore reading
testimony , aroyouy" asked Air. Cowin.
"Yes. I am almost sure. "
"And Mrs. Unll said that night that
she had feworn to a Ho in police courtdid
ehoV"
' Yes , or something of that sort , " re
plied the witness , shifting uneasily.
Under further cross-examination the
witness testified that ho had iirst told of
Emma Boll's confession to a man named
McLaiifrhlin who had como to him and
asked him about it. McLaughliu came
to the place where ho ( Williams ) was
working and the two discussed the mat
ter. Afterwards ho went with Me-
Laughlin to Judge Thurston's olllco in
the Omaha National bank building on
South Thirteenth street.
"How many times did you see this
man McLaughlin before yon went with
him to Jndiio Thurstou's ollico ? "
"Several times. "
"Did ho treat you to anything ? "
"I don't drink. "
"Did ho ever give you anything at
all ? "
"Ho gave mo a cigar nearly ovcry time
ho met mo. "
"Did ho else "
give you anything ?
"What do you moan ? " asked the wit
ness uneasily.
"I moan what 1 say. Did
YOU KVKK OET ANY MONUV
from McLaughlin ? "
"Jto , sir , 1 never did. "
" clothes "
"Any ?
"No , sir , I buy my own clothes. "
"Then McLaughlin gave you nothing
but cigars no money nor clothes ? "
" "Ho did not , " answered the witness.
After a few more questions General
Cowin ceased his cross-examination.
UK WAS MUUnLKU , TOO.
Jesse Butler , another negro , though
very much darker than the preceding
witness , testified to Emma Bell's alleged
perjury. Ho stated that Mrs. B. had or
one occasion told him and his wife that
eho had sworn to n lie in testifying
ngainst Lauor , that she had never soot :
Lauer and that she was to bo paid good
for swearing as she did. When askci
why she done this Mrs. Boll replied tlm
she was a poor widow woman and bad (
hard time of gutting along.
The dofcnso was then through will
the witness and turned him over foi
cross-oxamlnatlon by the prosecution.
"Those are the o\iu > t words that Emm :
Bell said , are they ? " asked General Cowii
of the witness.
"They aro. "
"Word for word1" ?
"Yes , sir , word for word. "
"You are not mistaken ? "
" 1 know I am not. "
"You have got them firmly lixcd ii
your memory , have you ? "
"I have , " replied the witncssjnositivelj
"Now repeat the first question put t
you by Mr. Thurston , containing th
statement which you claim was made b ;
Mrs. Boll , " said General Cowin.
"I object to that , " shouted Mr. Thurs
on , jumping to his feet.
The objeetion was not sustaine
nnd Mr. Butler was ordered to repeat n
nearly as ho could the question contcli
ing Mrs. Boll's alleged statement.
Ho failed radically. His brilliant men
ory went back on him and ho muttered i
few Incoherent words. Despite his claii
that ho know Mrs. Bell's every and exa <
word , ho could not repeat threeo of thoi
consecutively , Ho was completely broke
down.
"So that's all you can do , is it ? " askc
General Cowin.
The witness answered nothing , butM
Thurston retorted , "That's as good :
you could have done. "
* * "Oh , I have no doubt of it , " roplk
General Cowin sarcastically. "Hutli
has done much better than 1 could. Ho
n good one "
turthor cross-examination revealedtl
fact that Butler was a very much mu
died witness. Ho contradicted himself i
several notable instances.
Mrs. Jesse Butler was nest called i
the etand. She testified tOihaving heai
the confession from Mrs. Bell , and r
peated by the preceding witness , M
Butler.
Mrs. B was
ALSO BADLY' MIXED UP .
6n crojs-oxumlimtion. When subject
to a severe lire of questions from Gonbt
Co win , she laid thutasslio remembcri
} bfttpr8. J3ell bad said she Imd told sow
thing EIO ! had no . business to
and wished she had never had
anything to do with the case : A
statement of Mrs. Hell's utterances which
was so vastly dill'ercntly from the first
account given by the wftnes ? . that Gen
eral CowIn's features relaxed into a smile
of crlm ilcliuht.
Mrs. Butler further stated on cross-
examination that Airs. Boll had said that
she did not want to tcslifv further In the
case and had offered her ( Mrs. Butler ) $ J
to go anil get bomo morphine to make-
her sick , so she couldn't be taken into
court. "I refused logo for morphine and
then slio said she would got drunk by
drinking whisky , " said the witness.
Miss Delia Blesslngton , a rather good
looking blonde , then took the stand. She
testified that in November of 1&80 , v.'hun
living at thu house of hnr uncle , Mr.
tJninlan , she heard Mrs. Bell say to Mrs.
Williams : "J got a dollar for swearing
falsuly yesterday. I have got many a dollar
lar for false swearing. I never saw John
Lauur beloro in my life. "
The cross-examination of this witness
revealed nothing new. She adhered
firmly to her original statements.
Mr. John G. Lee , the old gentleman
who had testified for the prosecutionwas
called to thu stand nnd swore to the
pleasant relations which existed between
Mr and Mrs. Lauer. He also testified to
an experiment which was made last night
by Judge Thnrbton on the collar window
through which , it is claimed the burglar
Lauor shot at escaped.
"Tell me what you saw , " said Judge
Thurston.
" 1 saw you slldo through that window
mighty fast. 1 think you'd make- good
burglar" replied the witness quickly.
1'eoiila in the court room laughed , and
thu bailiff shouted for order.
On cross-examinationMr. Lee said that
ho considered "Mrs. Lauor habituallv ad
or depressed. She was a matter-of-fact
woman , and not inclined to be what you
micht call jocular , " said the witness.
The court here took a recess for dinner.
MUH. HELL WAS TIlIMtK.
During all the time that the negro wit
nesses and Miss Hlessington wore testify
ing to Airs. Hell's alleged confession of
perjury , Mrs. Boll was sitting near
the bailifl's desk , eagerly drinking in
every word that was said. Her little
thrpo-3-car-old child played about the
court room , now running between the
legs of the distinguished counsel , now
pulling the coat tails of the stenographer
and again caressing , in a very familiar
btyle , various portions of Judge Neville's
anatomy.
IXTHC Arrr.itNTO.v ,
Mr. Lee was placed on the stand again
ycstorday afternoon , but his further testi
mony revealed nothing ncw.K
James Hichards , an ox-omployo of the
nailworks , was next called. Ho testified
to having gone down in the cellar last
night with Air. Thurston , anil made ex
amination of the cellar. The cellar
window worked very easily and Mr.
Thurston , the witness statcu , made his
exit very easily through it.
[ In this connection it might be stated
that this line of testimony is being intro
duced to show that the burglar which
Lauer claims to have shot at in August ,
1895 , might have escaped through the
cellar window , as Lauer claimed that he
did. ]
In another branch of the testimony
Richard said that on the Monday evening -
ing after the funeral , ho was at Lancr's
house. Ho saw Lauor there talking
cordially with Mr. 1'eter Her anil Messrs.
Gallagher and McShane. When they
left he shook hands with tlmm and also
afiVctionatcly bade Mrs. Her good-bys.
The same witness testified that on the
night that Messrs. Ewing , Cowin
and Estcllo made their experiment
with the steve , the fire
was very bright. At 2 o'clock the next
morning the lire was dulled down and
did not give out light cnoupjh to distin
guish a human form by. In three or 4
hours after the steve was filled with coal
for the night , the liglit would
bo little or nothing. The witness
also invited several prominent citizens
to make similar experiments union"
thnm W. V. Morse , Captain Richards anil
Herman Kountzo. In all these experi
ments the isinglass of the steve was per
fectly bright and clean , just as it was on
the night of the tragedy.
On cross-examination , the witness tes
tified that he had Known Lauer for five
years , and was a good friend
of his. He had called on Lauer
several times , but principally on matters
of business. Duvjng her stay in the
Lauer house , the witness saw Miss Lanor
clear the isinglass in the steve several
times. She generally did it in the morn
ing , when she did her other house work.
"You woke up at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing , when you found the coals dulled
down , did you ? " asked General Cowiu.
"Yes , " said the witness , "I did. "
"Tho same 3 o'clock , " remarked the
cross-examiner , sarcastically. "Was
there any light in the room ? "
"No. "
"Then how did you know it wns two
o'clock. "
"I guessed at it , " replied the witness
flushing up.
"What niado you guess it was 3
o'clock ? "
"I don't know. 1 can generally tell
how long I have been sleeping. "
The witness was further examined
about the condition of the isinglass in
basoburncr stoves. Ho thought that n
steve with isinglass would remain bright
for four weeks without growing dim.
UK MADE KXl'EIUMENTS.
D. M. Sells , an attorney , testifies to ex
periments which ho had made with a re
volver , as to the powder marks lofc on
sheets of paper by shots fired at different
distances. These ranged all the waj
from four to nine feet , and all of the
papers showed more or less preforatlon
from powder.
When Soils finished his testimony , Mr ,
Thurston commenced snapping the re
volver , which was empty , in the diroc
i tion of Lawyer Ualdwin , who occupied a
i scat near the reporters' stand.
"Here , " exclaimed that individual ,
fiKptlng-ncrvousily on his seat , "don'l
point that thing this way. "
Mr. Thurston quickly dropped the
"thing. "
W. A. L.Gibbon testified to being om
of the party of gentlemen who made n
test of t'ic ' steve in tho'Lauer house. Oi
ono occasion thcro was a bright light will
3 the drafts open. A portion lying on tin
0 bed in the stooping room could distln
rr guisli by the light of the steve the article !
of furniture In the next. room. A pcrsoi
who crossed the threshold botwcn tin
two rooms and entered the sleeping
1 apartment could not bo distinguished , ox
s copt in the dim outlines. A man couli
not bo distinguished from a woman.
Thu second experiment madn by thi
witness nnd his associates took place i
lunar mouth after the first. Mr. J.J
O'Connor , Mr. Ben Gallagher , Mr. AI
Donovan , Mr.V. . V. Morse and Mr. Her
man KounUo were present. The cur
tutus and blinds were down. Ono of th
party would Ho down and shoots wouli
bo wrapped around the other gentlcinei
by turns , who would approach the bet
r from the tlininc room. After the ligur
i reached the bedroom , it ceased to bo dis
tinjrnislutblo and ono could not have ovei
d tolil whether it was that of a male or fc
sr inalo. In the further room , whore th
's steve was , this form would bo distlnguisli
able only in its bareoutlines. The Ugh
10 from the isinglass was not really brignl
Iin On the evening of the third oxplrcmcn
in the curtains and blinds in the oedroor
ino were down , the blinds in the dininK root
o bolng open and the curtain down. Th
d result was about the same aa that of th
o- preceding experiment. Mr.V. \ . V. Mora
or. . was wrapped in a sheet and parade
about in the dining room. His feature
could not be distinguished by a person i
the bedroom.
On cross-examination , Mr. GJbbo
al stated that by the light of the store h
ido could not have read the print in a papc
oor UistiBguisligd the vast on a inui
back. The fire was prepared by Mr. M.
Donovan and Mr. J. J. O'Connor , who
took charge of it about noon that day.
General Cowin cross-examined the wlf
ness pretty savagely on the subject of the
third night's uxpenmont. "Thu lire on
that night was just as bright as could
possibly be ? " asked General Cowiu.
"Yes , without re orting to artificial
means to make a draft. "
"And you couldn't have ccn a pocket-
knifu lying on the bed , if you were stand
ing on thu thrush-hold ? "
"No. "
"Could you have seen the large print
in a newspaper ? "
"No "
"Could you have distinguished the but
tons on a man's coat ? "
"No. "
Mr. Gibbon stated that he could by the
light of the steve distinguish the features
of Air. W. V. Morse , standing live feet
away in the dinlug room.
"Could you roi-ogni/.u features any
further away than that ? "
"Not much fuither. "
"Could you distinguish his mous
tache ? "
"No. "
"Don't you think that if Mr. Morse had
on a wig of long llcht hair streaming
down over his Miouldcra you could havu
distinguished that ? "
"i might. "
"And yon could not distinguish Mr.
Morsu's moustache , which i believe was
dark ? "
"No. "
"There's a good deal of difference , isn't
there , between a dark room and a dark
niouhtacho and a light room and liglit
hair , isn't there ? "
"Wo object to that , " interposed the
counsel for tliu defense.
The objection was sustained and Gen
eral Cowin withdrew his question.
A SAVAGE KNX'OUNTUK.
Mr. J. J. O'Connor was called as the
next witness and testified to the experi
ments denoted by Mr. Gibbon in his tes
timony. His testimony nucd not be given
at all extensively , as it was substantially
a repetition of that of Mr. Gibbons.
During Mr. O'Connor's examination by
Judge Savage , a little episode occurred
which served to relieve the tedium of the
afternoon's proceedings. Judge Savage
had put to the witness a question which
was rather a "feeler. " General Cowin
objected. Judge Neville sustained the
objection with the remark , "I don't like
questions which have a tendency to'brace
up' a witness. "
"Your honor , " ejaculated Juiltio Sav
age , popping to his feet with a very red
face , "I except to your ruling. And 1
must respectfully but firmly protest
against your honor's referring to me as
'bracing tip a witness.1 I desire the re
porter to take down these words. " And
he dropped into his ioat with a sudden
jerk.
Judge Neville assured the irale lawyer
that he meant no offense and Judge Sav
age seemed partially pacified.
M. Donovan took the stand. His testi
mony was a dreary repititiou ot that ot
Messrs. O'Connor and Gibbon.

Almost daily there may bo seen upon
our streets at some public corner , or in
some grocery store whoso accommodati up

of thcso amusing street fakirs with an
open-mouthed crowd about him , attractei
by his glib-told stories or by his sleight ol

Ihninary to an attempt to sell some
nuack medicine or other patent nostrum

Others will make a stump specel

fakirs , though it has the same appear
ance of success as that ot their brother

character , for the biscuits apparently si

been made so at the expense of botl

"I find great dllllcitlty in obtaining a

majority of green hands who go into
domestic service entertain the Idea that
there is nothing to learn , that work is all
mechanical. This is a great mistake , a

work to be donu out ldo of her regular

A TUMBLE.
It has been oin- custom at the end of each winter season to place on sale , at reduced
price , ? , 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 one coat and vest ; the second pair seems an ex
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 sixes , and
marked down to prices which merely cover the cost of the cloth.
We also have concluded to close out our whole remaining stock of silk neckwear , which
ha ? been selling for 25c , 50c , 75c and $1. There arc about 140 dozen and wo 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.
