Both state and defense ex hausted their permptorles. Attorney Hub- bard , for the prosecution , entered a motion that the jury bo not allowed to separata.

After the work of selecting a Jury was over thcro was great excitement and the reading ot the Indictment and presentation of the case for the jurv by both state and defense wore notable. During the afternoon standIng - Ing room could not be hud. Arensdorf was attended by his wife and youngest child as on yesterday. Mrs. Paul Leader and the wife and mother of Fred Munchrath , Jr. , wore present and watched the proceedings with great Interest. Aronsdorf was more composed even than yesterdny. Attorney H. J. Taylor opened the case for the state by reading the Indictment Then the indict ments of the grand jury against the conspira tors was read. Mr. Taylor carefully and pointedly reviewed th circumstances of the murder and the principal facts and Incidents leading up to it The evidence , ho stated would show who was present at the historic saloonkeepers' union meeting ; that the purpose of the meeting was to con- alder what would best bo done to the wit nesses for the state In tlio Injunction cases ; that to the committee charged wltti carrying out the work of the organization another name wns added ; that to tills committee be longed Arensdorf , Trlebcr , Munchrath and most of the others indicted. Evidence will be submitted to show that after the special meeting a low of those present went to an other meeting. George Trlebcr stated at this meeting that ho knew two Germans who could be hired to whip tlio witnesses. John Arensdorf said : "There IsSTOO or SSOO in the treasury for doing this work. " Later at this meeting ho said : "We ought to blow Haddock's house down Something must be done to stop these fellows. The brewers have too much Interest In this matter. Let It go on. " The folio wing Monday the feelIng - Ing was Intensified. In the afternoon George C. Haddock goes to the Hubbard house to plan n trip to Greenville. This same morning ( August 2) ) . Albert Kosnltsky goes to the saloon of Geoge Trlebcr. The two eo to this courtroom , remain until noon , then pass out upon Pierce street ; that then Trleber points out to "Bismarck" the home ot George C. Haddock. Leaving that place , Trleber says that ho will give Grandn SiOO to Haddock and tells l'ligmarcK" whip | to toll Oranda so. "Ulsmarck" calls on Trlcbor and Trlebor asks about Granda nnd sends "Bis marck" for Uranda. Granda Is found and Trleber sends "Bismarck" with Granda to show the Haddock residence. They go there together , but do not lind him In. Just after this He vs. lladdoclc and Turner came out of the Hubbard house , go to Merrill's stable on "Water street , go by way of Haddock's resl- denro to Greenville. They drive to Green ville ; return , drive to the home of Itcv. Tur ner , then Sir. Haddock drives back tu the llverystable. During this time "Bismarck" end ( Iranda have returned from the Haddock residence , falling to Und him there , meet Trleber and others of the defendants , and are sent by Trlebcr to wait at the corner of " water and Fourth streets for the return of the carriage of Mr. Haddock. Meantime others of the men indicted drive In a hack to Greenville and inquire after Haddock's car riage. Meantime other parties In the city re making inquiries after the Haddock car riage. Directly after several of the defend ants are seen at the corner of Water and Fourth streets. Then Mr. Ilnddock returns to the livery stable with the carriage , The news of Its return Is carried by thoseon watch and the announcement mada to the others. John Arensdorf hears it and says : "Let and . " A crowd us go see. gathers- ten men whose names are on this Indictment. Itev. Haddock , coming out of the stable , .sees the crowd waiting and asks if "that mob in waiting for him. " Ho is told to look out Ho starts across the street. Waiting for him nro the two hirelings , but from drink they are not ready. One speaks John Arensdorf : "iou drunken Duteh- men , wo do not want you. " Mr. Haddock If comes toward the crowd. Some of them Ii , fear-bound , some of them spell-bound as ho came before them , they realize the moment for action has come. Into the street goes John Arensdorf and thn driver of the brow- cry wagon , Peters. They pass Haddock , Arensdorf turns , tires : the bullet lodges In Haddock's neck : ; ho tails dead. The crowd scatters. Arensdorf nud 1'eters run across the bridge and into the brewery. In a few minutes a crowd collects. With that crowd is John Arensdorf. Attorney Gcorgo W. Areo presented the case for the defense and entered the plea ol not guilty to each and every allocation. Mr. . Argo stated tlmt from the evidence in posses tlon of the defense they are continent the state would utterly fall In sustaining tlu charges made , lie cave a very eftcctlvt biographical sketch of Arensdorf , lauding hi : food qualities. He claimed that on the daj f the murder Arensdnrf was on thu dtreeti and saw an altercation between the saloor and temperance folks Band Interfered ir favor at the latter. The evidence , contlnuec Argo , will show that Arensdorf was not nun the scene of the killing of Haddock and die not know It for some time nftqr.and was n : much surprised at It as any one.

MESMERIZED BY A PHYSICIAN llor Father Calls On the linvr to Com pel Ills Daughter's Itcturn , But Pulls to Get Her Two Bides Olvnti. A Rolntlvo oFGrovor's Wife. Xi\v : Yomc , March 21. [ Special Tele- ir.1111 to the HKK.J Annes FoUom , a re- marknbly pretty actress who sang in In "Krminlo" at the Casino for sometime , niysteilotisly disappeared last September , and nothing was heard ot her until jester- day , when her father brought suit In the court against Dr. Cato , of Forty-second street. Uo claims that the girl went to the doctor's ofllce ; that she was restrained of her liberty by the doctor ; that the doctor has ruined her and has not permitted anybody to sco her. He asks that she bo brought Into court to Investigate her mental condition. The persons Interested are substantial pee ple. Lr. ) Cato is a well known homeopathic physician , and Mr , Folsom is a merchant of Huston.- Miss Folsom Is a cousin or more distant relative of the wife of President Cleveland. Miss Folsom made her debut In Boston In concert , and was afterwards a member of John McCaull's company. She was remarkably pretty. It Is asserted by her friends that the doctor has exercised mesmeric Influence over her. Cato has a wife and a child on Long Island. To-day , however , the doctor fatloil to pro duce Miss Folsom in supreme court cham bers , as tlio writ of habeas corpus com manded. Instead. In brought William Allan , his lawyer , and the latter told the court that tlio doctor did not have Miss Folsom In his possession and denied generally thn allega tions made by Folsom. Lawyer Allan read an affidavit sworn to by Miss Folsom In which she says she Is \\eiity-four years old and that it is utterly false that nho Is under duress at the hand ot William M. Calo. She says she is able to take care of herself and that her relations and position toward the petitioner , her father , and to her mother re strain her from showing to the court the true reason tor this unwarranted procedure and attack on herself ami Dr. Cate. Further con sideration ot the case was adjourned until to-moriow. Dr. Cato became acquainted with Mrs. and Miss Folsom while attend in ; ; Mrs. Morlslul- Schllling , whom they were uursln . The mother and daughter fell sick in turn. This led to an intimacy which Dually developed Into mutual attachment which overcame all the conventionalities. The Folsom family were united at tlio Boston home , when a telegram , alined with Colonel McCaull's name , called tlio young lady to Now York. Her parents subsequently became - came suspicions and found her living in the doctor's apartments. His control is said to be mesmeric. Folsom staled to a reporter tlmt lil.s daughter's statement as to her sup porting the family was untrttp. Her salary was Sou a week , and with this she could barely support herself. "What she means by her last words In the aflldavit , " said he , "I am unable to surmise. There is nothing hidden in the affair by us. She may have something of which I am not intorined. I have done all I could to per suade Dr. Cate to glvo tin my daughter with out resorting to this public means. J wrote to him without el Vert. 1 tlinn went to see his brother in Salem , .Mass , and ho promised to see his brother. He begged me to keep quiet for his father's sake , who is an old doc tor In Washington. His own lamlly , too , the brother t eared would be broken up by the exposure , as Mrs. William Cate was in poor health and her husband's disgrace would seriously affect her. The brother afforded mo no relief , and I le.snrtod to law. 1 am almost heart-broken. I think the affidavit was In- lltiRiiccd by the doctor. " The reporter obtained an Interview with Miss Folsom to-day. She laughed tit the alle gation that she was not In her right mind. "It's too silly for anything , " she said. "I have had trouble with my patents before , " situ added , "but not any ol this kind. Tills Is a persecution , and while 1 have my Ideas as to what the motives of It are , I would pre fer not to express them just at present , If at all. all."In "In your aflldavit in return to the writ you say that your relationship prevents you from stating to the court something throwing fur ther light upon the subject. " "Yes ; I have private reasons which I do not care to state. My parents Imvo acted on- tlioly regardless ot my feelings , but i will bo more charitable to them. " That Boarding House Horror. ) BnssuMEn , Mich. , March 21 , The charred bodies of the twelve men who perished by the burning of the Colby inlna boarding house were burled to-day.

The rcnownl of work on tlio retaining wall nt the county court house 1ms dove- oped the startling fact that the building s in a condition that experts pronounce unsafe on account of the removal of the dirt that supports the foundation on the north and cast sides. The immediate cause of the examination , of which the ibovo opinion is the result , was the ap pearance of a largo crack at the north * west corner of the building , extending from the ground to a level with the second end story , from the basement an un mistakable evidence that the building Is settling. Mr. J. F. Coots , who built the jourt house , refused to express an opm- on when questioned by a reuortor yester day , , but is quoted by another builder is having stated that ho Intended to with- Iraw all claims of credit for the man ncr n which the building was constructed inless something is dona to support the walls and prevent the building from set tling. The builder referred to , and lie is a man of largo experience , assorts that t the building is loft as it now stands , it will certainly bo damaged and may bo wrecked in case of severe washing rains or storms. The grading of the embank- * nicut for the retaining walls has loft the court house perched on a ninaclo of soft clay soil that merely covers the foundation walls and affords but little irotoction against their bulging out or settling down. The bottom of the foun- lation walls are not more than three feet under the surface of the ground and are loarly eighteen feet above the top of the six-foot retaining wall hat surrounds the building. Iho retaining wall on Farnnm street and on Seventeenth street is not more than 'orty ' feet from the building. This makes .ho grade ot the street on these sides very steep , nearly one foot in two , and leaves but a very few cubic feet of earth at the base of the foundation walls. Jix- nert builders gjvo it as their opinion that itio natural weight of the building will liavo the effect of forcing or bulging out the dirt around the basement walls , which in case of a very heavy rain or washout may bo loft entirely exposed much to the damage of the building. This state of itfl'airs has been brought about by changes of the grade on Far nam and Seventeenth streets that were not contemplated when the building was commenced. When the work on the court house was commenced in 1831 al most the entire basement story was under ground and could scarcely bo seen trom the street. Before the building was com pleted in 1883 much of the sur rounding embankment had been cut away to accommodate the change of grade on Farnnam and Seventeenth streets and reductions have been made from time to time , the last one to accommodate the retaining wall until the building is in its present elevated position. The condition of the building has boon brought to the atten tion of the county commissioners and it is understood that they will at once take stops to provide for the protection of the walls as a precautionary mcasr.ro. The court house cost $1250,000. is one of the finest and best constructed buildings of the kind in the country , and the commis sioners properly feel that nothing should bo left , undone that will protect it from unnecessary risks of damage. Two rem edies tor the present evil have been pro posed. The one that has been discussed tor some time is the placing of an addi tional story under the building. This would sink thn foundation walls below the line of the retaining walls and would ren der the building perfectly safe in this respect. The second plan , which is more feasible and comparatively inex pensive , is the sinking of an extra wall along the north and east sides of the building about eight feet from the main walls ot the building and deep enough to come below the top line of the retaining walls. Such a wall would , it is claimed , furnish the needed support for the walls of the main building , and would , at the same time , furnish a foundation for a more attractive terrace from the extra wall to the retaining wall. UOCTOUS AND DIPLOMAS. Interesting Exercises at Boyd's Opern House A Uradnatlnc Class. A large audience assembled last even ing in Boyd's opera house. It was the occasion of the sixth annual commence ment of the Omaha Medical College. The Musical Union orchestra initiated the ' exorcises with Bach's evening's over ture , "Jubilee"after which Rev. T. M. House offered up a prayer. A xylophone solo , "Merriment Galop , " ( Boycr ) , by M. R. Barnes was next on the pro gramme , and it was highly appreciated. Dr. Moore then explained the absence of Dr. George L. Miller , who wus on the programme for an address , and eulogized Dr. Miller who was absent on account of the death of a near relative In the east. Dr. Moore then spoke of the close of the sixth year and of graduat ing the best class yet sent out. Ho also referred to the conscientious and ardu ous labors of the faculty and the necos- my of having better facilities. Ho said the college is to-day more solid than over before. The laboratory and anatom ical cabinet had been increased as well as facilities for getting material for clinical study. St. Joseph's hospital is full all the time. Several hundred cases always accessible. If there are any who have never donated to St. Joseph's hospital they should send n check for a $1,000.

A "FtiY BOM" IN DISTRESS. City Detective MlRlitlnRalo'H Efforts to Uncnr111 a Mystery. Developments in the robbery case In wl'ieh Dick Hyde , of Malvcrn , la. , lost $12,000 in notes and money nnd a gold watch , valued at $200 , place the detec tive of the police force in a rather unen viable light , reflecting on his ability if not upon his integrity. In the first place the case was an easy one to turn , ilydo was robbed of $12,000 in one of the prin cipal saloons in the city. Men who have been giving the case some attention claim tliat three men were implicated in the caso. Two of the men took the man , who had been drugged , into a closet in the saloon and robbed him , while the third party stood on watch and prevented interference. When the robbery had been effected the watch steered an out sider , who had entered the room , to the bar in the saloon , while the two men who had done the job tumbled their victim into a hack and took him to the southern part of the city , where ho was left to re cover from the stupor into which ho had been thrown by the drugging process. This happened more than a week njro. The case was re ported to Detective William NighUngnlo of the police force at once. Before the matter was made public through the pa pers it was generally understood that the parties who had turned the trick were known , and tlio fact that they were not arrested created some comment. It now develops that Nightingale has gone be yond his authority as a member of the police force and accepted money from interested parties for working the case , alirl the consequence is that ho has got himself into trouble with Marshal Cummings - mings , his employer. Nightingale admits this fact and abuses the reporters for making the facts in the case public , claiming that ho has been cheated thereby out of if 100 that ho expected to got out of the case for his services. The victim of the robbery , it will bo remembered , of fered a reward of $250 for the return of his papers which were stolen from him. On the day that Ilydo reported his case to the police Nightingale went to him and secured $5 , which amount ho said ho would have to pay a man ho had secured to watch two fellows who wcro suspected of the crime. On the following day ho wont to a friend of Hyde with the same story and secured $10 for the same purpose. Somehow ho failed to use the money thus obtained tea a good Advantage and no stops were taken toward the arrest of the men. Marshal Cummings learned of the fact that Nightingale has accepted money fromjoutsidorsfor use in the case nnd will bring him to account in the matter. In the meantime the men who committed tha robbery have had ample time to got out of the way or cover up the clues that would lead to their identity with the crime. _ STOCK YAUDS TALK. Swift's Pnoklnji House Armour Will Coinei UoriiiK for Coal. Ever since it was announced that Swift & Co. would build a packing house hero there has been very little clso talked about the yards.There have been all sorts of surmises and rumors as to what would bo done , and what effect it would have upon the live stock market , and whether it would force other packers to come here. Some people outside of the stockyards , and who are not cognizant of all the facts , have been inclined to doubt whether Swift & Co. would come hero at all , being suspicious that the whole thing was a scheme to boom real estate. Such is not the cuso , however. The Swift packing house will bo built at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars , as previously announced , work to com mence as soon as the ground is sulllciont- ly settled. It will bo located immedi ately south of G. 11. Hammond mend & Co.'s packing house , on what is known as the county road and adjoining the Union 1'uuilio tracks. The exact dimensions ot tlio house are not yet tlecidcd upon. Mr. Swift is n man who does not put much stress upon architects and their plans , but when ho decides to build ho puts n fo\v hundred thousand dollars in ono pile and u liberal supply of brick and mortar in another , and the two combined turn out u packing house in short order , borne idea of the sue of the proposed house may be gained when it is known thnt tlio Fowler blouse , which consists of two buildings four to live stories in height , the one 175x300 and thu other liOOxU 0 feet , cost only $175,000. , A11MOUU AVILT , CO.MK.

The shaft has already been sunk to the rock , a distance of 180 loot and the work of taking out the core with a diamond drill will commence as soon as the necessary ar rangements can bo perfected. The prime object in sinking the shaft is to determine whether coal or uatuoral ga.H exists. A very tame estimate upon the im provements contemplated at the stock yards this summer is A HAt.KMIt.MOX of dollars. In addition to the above thcro will bo a great deal spent in private im provements in the town of South Omaha.
