Not In Court.
Shortly uftcr Imlf past nine o'clock
cs tordny morning the Lniicr jury filed
nto the court room under the guidance of
Hntllfl' ( Jrcbo. They looked fairly re
freshed : md ready for the second week's
work before ilium. Sunday they were
tixKen out , both in the morning nndiiftcr-
noon for an airing , being strictly pre
vented , however , from holding communi
cation with anybody outMdo of their
guide , the baiHIV. In the afternoon late ,
they were taken back to the jury room ,
Where , supplied with IJlblcs and song
books they held a prayer and song ser
vice. Altogether , they passed a pleasant
Sunday.
Lauer and his sister occupied their
usuai scats by Messrs. Thur&ton and Sav-
ngc. lioth of them looked somewhat
worn , especially Miss Laucr. The de
fendant preserves a placid composure
though he watches keenly every turn of
the trial. He expresses himself as conli-
dent of his acquittal.
VVhon court opened yesterday morning
the seats outside the railing were only
about half filled. As the day worn on
they gradually tilled up to overflowing.
Martin T. Murphy , the contractor ,
was the first witness called yesterday
morning , lie testified to having built the
Lauer house on Twenty-sixth and Douglas
streets. Mr. and Mrs. Lauer were fre
quently around together watching the
process of building and always seemed
to bo au allcctionato couple.
AIISKNT WITNESSES.
At this point the question of admit ting the
testimony of Captain Richards and Mrs.
lien Gallagher , both of whom arc absent ,
was brought up by the counsel for the do-
tonso. Neither of these witnesses wore
in the city , and the counsel for Lauer de
sired to introduce their testimony.brouirht
out at the former trial. Messrs. Cowin
and Simeral , for the state , objected.
Judco Savage said that the morn
important of the two witnesses , Mrs.
Gallagher was absent and had been sent
out of the city , ho had every reason to
believe , by her husband , because lie did
not want her to testify on this trial.
"And J cannot say that I blame him ,
cither , " said Judge Savage. "After
Mrs. Gallagher testiliod at the last trial ,
she was subjected to the greatest trial a
mother can endure. She saw her little
son actually killed before her eyes. I
don't believe that she could stand the
ordcalof boingplaced on the witness stand
again. I don't blame her husband for
sending her away. In fact 1 rather honor
him for so doing.1'
The question of admitting Mrs. Galla
gher's testimony given at the last trial , as
well as that of Mr. Richards , will bo
settled hereafter.
I.AtJKU'S TESTIMONY.
"Call Mr. Liner , " said Mr. Tlmiston ,
at ton minutes after 10 o'clock. The de
fendant stepped up to tlio witness stand ,
was sworn and took his scat. lie ap
peared not a trifle perturbed. His an-
Bwurs to the various questions were made
in ft" tone low and hardly distinct.
Ho testified : "On the 18th day of Oc
tober , 1883 , wo moved into our house on
the corner of Twenty-sixth and Douglas
streets. I was employed at the nail works
at the time my wife was shot. On thr
day before my wife was killed I loft the
nail works at about half-past five. 1
mot my wife down at Paxton < &
Gallagher's , on Tenth street , with
a horse and buggy. Wo then drove
to the postoffico , thence to Kuhn's drup
store , and thence to Harris & Fisher' . '
moat market. Then wo drove to our homo ,
reaching there about seven o'clock 01
quarter of Bcvon. After I put up the
horse wo wont into the house. While m.i
fe wife was changing her over-garments J
lit the gasoline steve anil cooked supper
After supper wo cleared oft the table am
I lay down , my wife reading to mo. Shi
soon complained of fooling badly , and .
suggested that she go to bod. She wen
into the bedroom and undressed. In i
few minutes she lay down beside mo.
with my back to the back part of trv
lounge. My wife snuggled up to mo , he
head on my right arm. She said to me
'John , fool how my heart is boating. 1
fools so strange. ' I felt , but could dc
tect nothing unusual. I suggested that i
eho felt badly she had bolter go to bed
She did so and I followed her/ '
"How wore the windows in your room
that night ? " asked Mr. Thurston.
"Tho blinds and the curtains of th
bedroom window were closed and th
blinds of the dining room window wor
open , with the curtain nearly down. Th
iiro I iixod for ttio night , but I don't r <
member how the drafts wore fixed. Th
light I extinguished and put on th
dresser. "
"My sister occupied the room direct !
overhead.
"I had boon suffering from boils o
my chcoKs , one on the right side and on
on the left. They hurt so that I ooul
not sloop for several nights. The pai
was very intense. The last boil brokp o
the morning before the shooting , jui
about twenty-four hours previous to th
time my wife lost her life. "
"That night , I think , wo went to sleo
about half-past niuo. Our relations thr
evening had boon the most ploasan
Our talk and actions were as friendly r
they possibly could have boon. I sha
always remember that night as one (
the happiest of my lifo. The next thin
I know I was awakened by hearing , as
supposed , a nolso in the dining-room ,
was excited , and turning to my rigl
Bldo , grasped my revolver. As 1 did so
hoard words , and supposed that thci
were two persons in the next room ,
then saw a figure approaching and sa
what I supposed was a head ,
fired and the figure dropped. The
I felt for my wife , and sa
she was gone. 1 jumped up and n
around to the foot of the bod. There
saw the figure of Sallio. Her face w
all bloody , and she didn't look like n
wifo. i shook her and felt of her honi
and saw that she was doad. 1 thought
might bo dreaming , and shook myself
sco if 1 were awake. As I iirod 1 yell
at the top of my voice. 1 called for n
sister , who was sleeping abovo. S
came down and I told her that I had m
taken Sallie for a burglar and shot IK
I told her to go for help as soon
she could. Immediately after s
wont out , I put on my pants and she
and possibly my coat. 1 wanted to ,
for help myselt , but still I didn't wn
to leave my wife , although I bcllov
she was fatally injured. At the tiim
woke up thcro was very little light in t
room , though just how much I can't s ;
I can hardly say that I saw a hci
tliouglv 1 imagined that 1 saw ono.
fired , supposing that it was burglar. "
Lauer s attention was then directed
the subject of the first burglary which
said occurred in the summer , "My w
and 1 were both awakened out of a slui
bor , " ho said , "by something ,
do not know what. Ono blind
the dinng-room bay window v
thrown open , allowing enough lif
from the street lamp on Mr. Gallaghc
corner to make the room rather light ,
saw the man's head around the corner
the folding doors and raised my rev
.ver and fired. At the same time 1 sa

Jumped out of bed and chased the full
out of the room. As 1 wont after him I
heard him stepping on some boor bottles
in the cellar. 1 went back to bed , re
marking to my wife that the man would
go homo and crawlinto his sick bed. The
next morning 1 found the collar window
torn open. Iwcnt down to the police
court and reported the matter. "
During all this examination the wit
ness were a smile , which , though van
ishing at times , was always sure to reap
pear.
Lsiuor was sharply cross-examined by
General Cowin.
The witness said : "I am thirty-five
years old and came to Omaha nine years
ago. 1 first went to Mrs. Gootsoluus to
board.
Here an argument arose as to the advis
ability of testimony from Laucr concern
ing the period of his engage
ment and courtship. The couiibol
for the defense wanted all this
testimony ruled out while Mr. Cowin in
sisted on going into this branch of evi
dence. At the last trial none of the tes
timony was taken , though it was not ex
actly ruled out by the judge. More by
consent of the counsel for the state , this
branch of testimony was allowed to go
untouched. "Wn insist , " said General
Cowin , "upon being permitted to go
into every part of Latier's relations with
Sallie Lauer , from the time ho first mot
her to the time ho killed her. The fart
that ho has been accused of the murder
of Sallie Lauor , and denies the crime ,
gives us the right to go into this branch
of the subject. ' '
Mr. Savage said that the supreme court
had ruled that a man could not be cross-
examined on any subject on which ho
had not been directly examined.
Judge Neville adjourned court at 11:40 : in
order to give the counsel for the state
and defense time to look up their author
ities on the matter.
MUST MR CKOSS-EXAMINGD.
Judge Savage opened for tin defense ,
the argument as to the admissibiiity of
evidence from Lauer on the subject of his
past married lifciandlife before marriage ,
which subject it was claimed was not
opened by the dofonso. The object of
the state m going into this branch of the
subject was to show Lauor's brutal and
jealous treatment of the dead woman ,
both before and after their marriage.
Judge Savage claimed that as this
branch of the subject had not been en
tered into by the defense , according
to all rules of elementary evidence the
prosecution had no right to enter upon it
in cross-examination. Some states , ho
admitted , allowed a witness to bo cross-
examined on any branch of the case.
Not so in Nebraska courts , where , ac
cording to the supreme court , a witness
could only bo cross-examined on facts
brought out in the direct examination.
He quoted extensively from authorities to
prove this.
Judge Savage remarked that the pros
ecution hoped to bring in all this evi
dence of Lauer's ill-treatment of his
wife , and by this means prejudice the
jury into rendering a verdict against the
defendant. But the humane spirit of
the common law , he claimed , interfered
to prevent the prosecution from entering
into a cross-examination on points which
had not been opened up in the examina
tion in chief.
Judge Savage was followed by States
Attorney Simoral , who argued that the
state had a perfect right to cross-exam
ine Lauer on his relations with the de
ceased both before and after the marriage -
riago , because Lauer in denying his gii'll '
had implied that no clement of malice
existed in his act. It was to show this
clement of malice that the state deserved
to enter upon the branch of evidence ,
Ho quoted extensively from various au
thorities to support his doctrine. Ho was
followed by Gen. Cowin , who took ur
and dwelt upon the theory announced bj
Mr. Simeral. He said that John Lauei
while admitting that ho shot Sallie Lauci
had domed the element of malice in hi :
act. This then implicdly laid bare this
branch of the evidence which the state
desires to take up. It necessarily follow !
that a strict cross-examination of Laucr
in order to show up every phase of hi ;
connection with Sallie Lauor , must b <
allowed. Gen. Cowin's speech was short
but pithy and to the point.
Mr. Thurston closed the argument fo :
the defense. Ho said it was manifestly
unjust to allow the prosecution to gi
back for a period of twenty months prio
to Sallie Lauer's death a period of uninterrupted
torruptod married happiness and peaco-
to find a single act that looked lik
cruelty.
Ho said that there wcro two dilTeren
rules laid down in American and Englis !
books on the subject of cross-cxamimi
tion. The English rule is that a witness
when sworn to toll the truth , the whol
truth and nothing but the truth , can b
questioned on any part of the case. Thi
rule has prevailed in Maine , Massachi
setts and New York. But in no otho
states docs this English rule hold good
The courts of these states , as has our ow
supreme court , have hold that the Enj
lisli doctrine was not a fair one that
witness could not bo cross-examined o
any subject which has not bee
brought out in the direct examinatioi
Mr. Thurston endeavored to show b
roforcnco to various other authoritu
that because a prisoner olTored liimse
as a witness in his own behalf ho did n <
necessarily thereby give more 1 atitudo I
the counsel for prosecution m cross-o :
aminatlon. "And now they claim , " 1 :
said , "that because Lauer is put on tl
stand that ho can bo made to tcstil
about the circumstances which may ha\
occurred years ago ; that ho is to bo pi
to the inquisitorical tortures of a Cowii
when for more than two years they ha
lived and grown in happiness , all diflo
cnccs reconciled , everything of the pa
foriiiven. "
When the arguments had dccn linishc
Judge .Neville said that lie was ready I
t render his decision upon the questlo :
"I have my mind already made up c
this matter , " ho said , "I only regret th
it was not settled before , though it hi
come up many times and waived by tl
counsel.
"Now.thero is no question in my mind b
that the defendant is subject to the sun
cross-examination as an ordinary w :
ness. That is , ho must bo cross-o :
aminod only on the matters brought
the examination in chief. This rule a ]
plies in civil cases as well as in crimin
cases , lint if the defendant denies ai
of thi ! elements that go to make up t
crime with which ho Is charged , ho la
himself open to cross-examination <
everything pertaining to that olomci
Lauor has denied the oflcnso of n :
liciously killing his wifo. Was not tli
a denial of malice toward hor. I t
liovo that view of the case is the con
o ono. The state is thus n
d thorizad to cross-examino t
y defendant upon all matters

s- of these circumstances of his past 1
sr.
r.ts and relations with Sallie Laucr are si :

Active Mrnstircd Taken Journal
Oponiul An Efficient Agent.
A journal for "complaints to the Hu

bo scon by any citi/.cn at the law ollico of
General J. E. Smith , No. 1514 Douglas
street , rooms G and 7t second floor , dally
from 8 a. rn. to 8 p. m. This journal will
have entered upon it every complaint
coming to the society. It is not
the intention of the society to
annoy anyone in their rights
und privileges , and where complaints
are made of cruelty to animals , a full in
vestigation will bo made to ascertain the
circumstances surrounding the caso. If it
is a first ofl'cnsc , and not of an absolutely
brutal character , the olleuder will bo
duly cautioned , but when the ofl'unso is
repeated the law will certalnlv bo en
forced. There are now upwards of ! 300
members , numbering among them promi
nent eiti/.ens , and each one requested to
feel that he or she is an individual agent
for the advancement of the cause which
they have espoused. In a few
days telephone arrangements will
bo made , by which means , com
plaints may be communicated to
headquarters from any part of the city ,
thus enabling the ofliccic to dispatch an
agent at a moment's notice to remote
sections of the city when necessary. Tim
olllccrs of the society have been quietly
but Industriously getting into systematic
working order , and without ostentation
have already accomplished much good in
the community.
Mr. S. B. Clark a citi/.on of Omaha
for the last sixteen or eighteen years , has
been aupomtcd agent of the Nebraska
Slate Humane society for this locality.
Mr. Clark was endorsed by very strong
letters from some of the most substantial
and inlluontial eiti/.ens of Omaha ,
and the executive committee
upon whom devoted this appoint
ment , feels that this gentleman is none-
iiarly fitted for the position. Mr. ClarK
is well acquainted to the city , its sur
roundings mid residents. His imclli-
, discretion and fearlessness in the
fence of the duties which will devolve
upon him will bo well tested , as thfc po
sition is attended with some hardships.

Germans who arc Indignant Police
Court.
Two Germans walked into Judge Sten-
berg's court yesterday morning and asked
to bo allowed to Illc a complaint against
Albright , the employment agency man.
Their story was to the ell'eet that
Albright , after charging them $2
apiece , sent them out to Wahoo ,
to get work on a rail
road grading job at that point. When
they got there they found no such job ,
but after walking twenty or thirty miles
found a contractor and gang of men en
gaged grading for a railroad branch.
The contractor said he had no work and
complained that Albright was continu
ally sending men to him. whom ho was
obliged to turn away because he had
nothing for them to do. The two
Germans returned to Omaha a
best they could in a state of high indigna
tion. They pay they intend to make it
warm for the employment agency man ,
on a charge of obtaining money under
false prctsnses.

It has been our custom at the end of each Avintor season to place on sale , at reduced
prices , our remaining stock of mcns' 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 ex
tra expense , and 'a real bargain is very acceptable. "VVe 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.
Wo also have concluded to close out our whole remaining stock of silk neckwear , which
has been selling for 2f c , 50c , 75c and $1. There are about 140 dozen and 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.
