Yes tcrday morning nt half past nlno ever , sent outside the railing was filled. Th nudience was composed largely of Indlo ! As the dav wore on the throng increase in si/.o until thu room was fairly jamnic to suflbcntion. In opening his speech yesterday niorr ing Judge Savage referred to the fact tun ho had received a letter anonymous- froni some human gadfly reminding hlr that ho was growing old and In his del age. T his might bo ( to and ho woul not dispute the fact , liut when ho lal down his work and ceased his practice continued tor more than forty years ii this and other courts , ho would regard I ns not the least proud boast of his I if that ho had stood uo to defend this mac John Laucr against the fury of popula prejudice. "What motive does thn prosccutio : claim for this crime ? They say thn there was jealousy on the part of th husband which lea to the deed. Am fiecondly.thoy claim that ho was trying t get tlio property which belonged to th wife. I uo not believe , gentlemen that you will believe that ono particle o avartco entered into this man's net Laucr himself admits that ho was anx ious to have the whole , undivided cntir love of his wito. Ho was jealous of hu to that extent. "After the separation came the rccon dilation. They made up their mind never to allude to this unhappy pcrioi again. It was as the unhappy womai remarked , 'LIKE GETTING MAUHIKD AGAIN , John. ' Who dares to say that the rccon dilution was not sincere and cntire- that then love did not start afresh ? The : firmly resolved , I believe , that thos troubles should not occur again. Mi Lee , tlio honest , grayhaircd old man tea tilled that their married life was all thn could bo desired. Mr. McShano testilic to the same thing. Mrs. Savage am Emma Savage , who lived next door , hat every reason to know the married life o Mr. and Mrs. Lnuer , say that they wer happy together from the period of _ thei reconciliation. All the neighbor east , -west , north and south of th Lauer house. testitiy to thi fact. 1 will leave , out the tostimou Mr. Laucr on this , ] ftubject. My friend will say that he would naturally oxag cerate on this matter You have the tea timony of Mr. Sullivan , who saw Lnuer1 daily life al the'nAil works. And yo have heard the testimony of Mrs. Goot schius. Slanderous tongues have nbusc < her confidence in her son-in-law , and th agony of the first ; prief has not givci place to that softening of heart whic must eventually coJinp. * ' Hero Judge Savri er referred to the ex prcssions of conhilqnco in her liusban which had boon repeated by Mrs. Laue to her mother , and Hestilicd to by tlia lady on the witness stand at the COHONEtt'S * INQUEST. "Insk again who i3there , outside of th prosecution who dar$3 to say this rccon ciliation was not sincere. They ask yo to guess that he abused her private ! Gentlemon.that Is not the way conviction are formed , that men arc hanged. " The speaker referred to the proviou burglary , and how the prosecution hai endeavored to show that l > y moans of string in the hands of Architect Voss th bullet could not have been fired by Lauoi as ho claimed it had been. Tins Mi Thurston knocked in the head by a rapi calculation , showing that Lnuer's clair was entirely correct. "I don't think ths my friend Thurston ought to bo practic ing law , or running for the senate , o making speeches abont the country. II ought to get a tinhorn and a blackboard tin a start out as a "LIGHT'NING CALCOLATOR. " "The prosecution has endeavored t take little circumstances , picked up trot time to time , and thrust them into evi dcnco against my client. But all thl does not controvert what ban been test ! fiod to by these neighbors east , west north and south. " THE EVE OP THE TRAGEDY. The speaker then took up the circum stances of the eve of Mrs. Laucr'8 deati "For a part of that uight , " he said , "w have to rely upon the evidence of Laucr' sister. Through heat , cold , mud. rau snow , I have scon this sister walking th streets of Omaha in behalf of he brother. She has stood by him when hi friends have deserted him , when oven hi HIS COUNSEL HAVE DESl'AIKED. "Oh the nobility of character , the con tlonoss , the devotion of such a woman c this ! Oh the depth of a sister1 love ! And this is the woman whom tb prosecution would have you believe is murderess ! For if Laucr murdered hi wife , and his sister is trying to cover u the fact , then she is a murderess ! " Referring to the fact that Mrs. Lnuc had loft the bed without awakening he husband the speaker said that this sin ply denoted an act of devotion on th part of the wife toward the husbanc "She knew of the sleepless nights ho ha spent on account of this boil , and ah thought she would crawl quietly out c bed without disturbing her husband. An it was this act of devotion which cause the death of THIS LOVELY WOMAN. "So far as the light in this room wn concerned there could have been little t it. The moon may have been sliinin brightly , but you must remember thn thu curtains and the blinds were close in the bedroom and that on the west slJ -in the dining rqopq , the blinds wei closed and the curtain/nearly down.1' Judge Savage ably compared th stove tests which liitil coon made , by th counsel for the prosecution by tli friends of Mr. Lauttr- The former tos was made and testifl a to by ono mai The latter tests werp vouched for b many gentlemen , all well known and n liable citizens. And they showed tin the light of this stova was not suflicior to enable one" * c to distinguis faces in that 'fopra. And y < tlio prosecution wiljjpndeavor to sho' ' that Lauer , by loss lyyit than was sheen on the occasion of r these tests , ougt to have known thutlio was firing at ii ! wife. " % SCORING 5in.,81MF.lCAL. , Judge Savage took ; ) occasion to giv Mr. Shnoral a "backhander" across th face. "That iernblo remark of Mi Simeral's yesterday that it would bank runt divine justice to blot out the sins c John W. Lauer , may perhaps bo forgivot I think the young cockeral crowed prett loudly when ho attempted to limit divin justice and meroy as limitless and bound less as the universe. " "It is said , " continued Judge 8avng < "that the conduct of this man was nc what It should have been immediate ! after the shooting. Ho did not ac as this man A. or that man B. woul have acted under the circumstances. I * venture to say this you may believe m or nnt , according ; to your experience i every person in this audience had kllle a human being no two would have acto alike. They say that when Lauer saw h had killed hia wife , he ought to hav lifted her up and placed her on the bed. thank God tuut ho didn't do it. If h had it might have furnished erldenc ngainst him that would have been usct to convict him. If I had scon mi wife lying there , killed oy m ; own hand , I should have been so para ly/ed that I could not lift my liniiil , lu alone lifting inv wife. "So far as Latier's statement ngatns Mr. Joe Her is concerned , ! do not buliuvi that I can blame Mr. Latior for that The morning after the tragedy Mrs Goetscliius wont to her sou , full of lov < and sympathy for him. A day or twi afterwards she had turned against him Why ? llccatiso the poisoner had been a work. Joseph Her had been talking ti her. her."The "The prosecution claim that Lauor wa guilty because lie did not shed tour enough over the tragedy. Why , gentle men , tears are not evidence of the great rst emotions tears do not always exprcs tlio emotions in a man's breast. Mrs Goolschius complained that ho watitc < to bury the wife too soon that li wanted to hustle tier out of the worli Gentleman , 1 think the explanation tlia ho made of his desire to bury Ins wife 01 Sunday cannot fail to touch you. Hi wanted to bury her on the same da' that his own mother had been laid ti rest the holy Sabbath day. " The remaining points of the evidcnci against Lauor were taken up and log ically discussed by the speaker who then closed with an impassioned ap peal to the jury to woigl carefully the testimony and determine tormino whether , on the strength of thai testimony , they could return a verdic which would send Lauer to the gallows IN THE AkTDUhOON. The court room m the afternoon wa fairly jammed with eager listeners. Tin fact that il had been pretty well spreai abroad that Mr. Thurston was to rnaki the closing speech for the defense , wa responsible , doubtless , for this. Mr. Thurston opened with a lauda tiou of Ills own method of con ducting the case so far as not trying t ( wring trom the witnesses any statement which were not in accordance with then honest convictions. He said that hi should try to say what ho had to withou any attempt at oratory , lie should spoal merely on the evidence. "There are certain admitted facts ii the case , " said Judge Thurston ; "Salll Laucr is dead. John Lauer shot her Slmeral says that perhaps they had i quarrel and he shot her. Before yoi commit him you must have the tcstimon' to prove beyond a reasonable doubt tha ho did have n quarrel with her- tluit ho did shoot her , There mus by some little bit of evidence to shov that this feeling of jealousy was growiui from day to day in his breast , until i drove him to the perpetration of THIS AWFUL DEED with which ho is charged. To substantiate tiato the idea that Laucr possessed a ma licious , vindiutivo and wicked heart to ward his wife they go back clear back-ti the days of the courtship and rake up thi ashes of the dead and buried past. Yet then go back over two years of a peace fit ! and happy life and rake up from thest ashes the embers of jealousy and malice which they claim existed m the mind o John W. Laurer. "I do not believe that any man on tin ; jury will try to convict this man on any thing but the evidence that has been pro scntcd in tills caso. This evidence . ' shall try to present to you fairly nnc squarely without leaving out one won which throws any light upon the rcla sions which existed between John W Lauer and his wife. " Judge Thurston referred to the act am said that "tho course of true love neve did run smooth. " Poetry nnd fiction , hi said , united in revelling nnd exnatiatinf upon this fact. Because Laucr had som trouble with his wife two years before ho death the prosecution ho declared wantci the jury to believe that it grew and in creased until it drove the husband to thi terrible deed. Judge Thurston said he would not al tempt to palliate one bad act of Lauor1 life towards his wife. Lauer did no want him to do anything of that sort. "For thirty months. " ho said , Lauo nnd his wife had lived together. Withii the first ten , every item of the alleged ill treatment by Lauor of his wife is located 1 shall call your attention to this later 01 when I shall ask you as reasonable mci whether you will decide that Lauer killoi his wife intentionally by the test ot th first ten months , or whether you wil judeo the act by the twenty months o married bliss. So that I will divide th period of their married life into tw parts the first one-third and the last two thirds. "Where is the evidence ot this nllegoi brutal treatment of Mrs. Lauer ? Gentle men , remember that Mrs. Goetschiu docs not testify to a single act of cruclt ; on the part of Mr. Lauer. She docs no testify TO A SINGLE ACT of this sort. Benson , tbo butcher , testi lies that Mrs. Lauor had n slightly discol orcd eye ono day. Does that prove tha Lauer was responsible for.it ? There i not one word to show such a thing. Di Coffman testifies that ho found Mn Lauor , when he was called in , sufl'orin , from a state of nervous prostration. Sh had , he said , not one mark of physica injury. And so when this prosocutioi closed , there was not ono word to shov that Lauer had over injured his wife b ; beating or striking her. Mrs. Havens the sister , testified that when she cam in one day , the fonnd Sallie's nos slightly skinned on the bridge. Thcr was not ono word to show that Lauor wn responsible for the act. Was there ? Am again , Mrs. Havens came in , she testifio "I found Sallie crying , with a Motho Hubbard dress torn by her side. " Now gentlemen of the jury , if could get the sentiment of each ono o yon , I would find that you like myself prefer to see any other woman than tin ono you love running around in i "Mother Hubbard. " That dross is i good one logo to bed in , but not ono ti wear every day. Because Lauor tore u ) this dress , docs that show that ho woul * murder a defenseless woman. Bccausi ono day the sister came in and found thi photograph lying on the lloor , docs tha prove that John Lauer throw it there If you think &o , it is not because of any thing that the prosecution has proven but because you have let loose the wing of suspicion and surmised all thcsi things. "Simoral says that we shall nbusi womanhood. No , wo won't. No , wi wont. God forbid that I should do sncl a thing. I am too firm a believer in tin GLOUV OF WOMANHOOD , too strong a champion of womanhood to do anything like that. Siranral com pares Emma Bell to Mary Mngdalnno Kcmomber , gentlemen of the Jury , whni you are in your room , that it was K. W Simoral , .prosecuting attorney of the state of Nebraska , who compared thi woman Bell to Mary Magdalene , thi outcast , the lost woman. " OMr. Thnrston then went ontopoin out the inconsistencies of MM. Bell's tcs timony. substantially ns Judge Savagi had. Ho dwelt upon the fact that Mrs Mrs. Bell testilied that Laucr had throwi hot cranberry sauce in the face of hi wife during the summer time. He askcc the question , "How many men in Omahi hanker after CUANBEURY SAUCE AND BEEl'STKAK la the summertime. " Judge Thurston referred at cxtondei length to the testimony of the coloroc witnesses , who swore'that Mrs. Bell hat confessed to perjury m what she hm said against Lauor. Mr. Thurston spoke eloquently o the spirit which had anlmatci this subornation of perjury tha had sent through the malls dozens of TIIBEATKNINO J.KTTEIIS , which declared to the counsel that if the ; dared to defend Lauor , their wives am children would be blown into Oeternlty "I care not , " said Judge Thurston "whether this mallcipus spirit bo now ii tfee court room or out of it. I defy joo. lie shouted , turning to tlio mulloiiro an raising himself on his tiptoes , "I del you to no voun i > AMNi > r.sr | And if I am killed through anything I d in defending this poor man , I shall HUM my Maker with thu consciousness that have done my dutyl" LAUKIt DID NOT l-KIMl'ltr. HIMSKt.K. Judge llittrston referred to Laucr evidence on cross-examination. " Lauerlind desired to perjure himself' thu stand , would he have admitted air tiling of the troubles between himself aii his wife ? Would ho not liavo dctuc everything * Would ho have admittc that lie struck her on the eve of the scp : ration , when no ono had river known c suspected the fact ? The prosccutio did not prove any brutallt on the part of this man. The only tw times that Lnuer struck his wife wet proven by Lnuer himself. Docs that lee like perjury ? " KIND ANn LOVING LAUKU. Judge Thurstou spoke of the condiu of Lauor on the eve of the separation. 1 was not Mrs. Lauor that had been drive out of tlio house that night. Lauor hin self had left the house nt miduigh walked the streets until morning , uu then deeding his house nnd lot to h wife all lie nad had gone away. Whrx over may bo said about Lnuer's strikin his wife It cannot bo denied that he actc like a man afterwards. And yet Simon says that a leopard cannot change h spots that twenty months of mnrric life cannot change thu character of man ! "And let it bo remembered , " sal Judge Thurston , "that when this publi clamor and the persecution of the pros united in HOUNDING THIS MAN to death , not ono of the littl circle of neighbors in which li lived and that ho did not testify in hi favor that ho believed that ho pulled th trigger that caused the fatal shot , wit the intent of murder in his heart. I carnet not whtit the world says about mo who I die , so long ns my neighbors speak wo of mo. All the neighbor * testily that th married life of tills couple was all that should be. Who says to the contrary Rumor. Who says to the contrary Suspicion. Who says to the contrary- " " " . " "Maybe" "perhaps. "Gentlemen of the Jury , though Salli Laucr is dead , she has loft her tcstimon behind her. I'll tell the testimony of Ui wife , when on the afternoon of the dcat she told her mother of the kindness c her husband. I'll take that tcstimon before that of rumor , of suspicion , c "mayjjc"nnd "perhaps. " Sallie Lauci I INVOKE YOUR SWEET SPIRIT to como into this court nnd tell what yo know in the case of this man , who is no1 on trial for his wife. She has come , an what docs she say. ( Hero Mr. Thurston road the tcstimon of Mrs. Goetscliius on the occasion of th coroner's inquest , when she told of tb expressions of love for her husban which Sallie Lauor had dropped on th afternoon of the death ) . NEWSPAPER MEN BLUSH. The newspapermen who werogathore at the reporting desk blushed as Judg Thurston took occasion to complimcr the press at this juncture. Ho said : "A fearlessly as on the occasion of th former trial I condemned the press c this city for their course , I now coinpl ment them on the fair and impartu manner in which they have treated m client throughoui tins trial. " "And now I ask you , gentlemen of th jury , will not twenty months of love am kindness atone for the past ? Will no the twenty months of married bliss oul weigh the first ton ? God an tlio wife have forgiven. wil man deny the mercy which ougi ; to bo extended to the prisonet If Mary Magdalcnu by a momentary n pontanco could gam a scat at the feast c Christ , will not the conduct of Laue during these twenty months entitle hu to a scat in heaven beside his wife ? THE FORMER BURGLARY. The speaker then referred to the forme burglary , the story of which as told b ' Lauor , the prosecution claimed , was' myth. Simoral said that Lauer mus have needs shot nt his wife that night , b < cause ho lied in saying that the burgln escaped through the cellar window , ina.1 much as the window was too small fc any such feat ns that. Mr. Thurston dis proved this by producing the frame c tlio collar window serene and crowdiu through it himself , on his hands an knees. This little episode caused no cm of merriment in the court room and som of the youngsters fairly screamed wit laughter at the sight of the dignifici bespectacled judge crawling through tli window frame. Mr. Thurston then wei on to show that judging by the lin drawn from the bullet hole in tlio case ment Laucr might have lire the shot exactly as he said ho did , sittin up in bed. "Isn't it monstrous to sup , " ho said , "that this woman , Mn Eose , would mnko up with her husban n talso story about this first burglary , i it wcro not true. Would she hav asked Mrs. Savage the next morning 'di you hoar about our burglary last night Is it at all improbable tlmt a burglar should have taken place at that nous that night ? Burglaries are constant ! occurring in this city , notwithstandin the perfect and efficient police protectio that wo ! ; ave in Omaha.0 ( Thissenlenc was delivered with ono of the judge characteristic sarcastic smiles ) . ADJOURNED. Here court adjourned until 0:30 : tli morning. The judge sent the jury int their room with the usual warning not t converse about the case , either ainon themselves or with outsiders.

Over a year ago I recommended your Hop Bit ters to my invalid wife , who has been under medical treatment of Albany'- best physi cians for several years.

We both recommend them to our friends , many of whom have also been cured of their various ailments by them. REV. E. R. WARRKN. Cured of Drinking. "A young friend of mine was cured of an insatirble thirst for liquor that had to prostrated his system that he was unable to do any business. He wns entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters. It allayed alt that burning thirst ; took away the appetite for liquor , made his nerves steady , and he has remained a steady and sober man for over two years , and has no desire to return to his cups , and I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it.
