Dr. R. M. Stone was the llrst witness
k' called. Ho snld : "I am a practicing physl-
I' cian of this city nnd am unacquainted with
Ifj Mr , and Mrs. Mahoney , but last ovonlng I
r 1 Was called to visit n family of Sawyers at the
corner of Nineteenth and Pierce streets.1' '
The defcnsa could not see that any testl
many tlia witness might gtvo would be ma
tcrlal and inquired as to the object of the
proof ottered ,
" \Vo want to show the failure , of Mr. Ma
honey , as the authorized dispenser of relief
for Douglas county , to adequately iirovldo
for the case of this family , although ills at
tention has been directed In its directionlu
Mr. Simcral explained.
Chairman O'KeefTu and Deputy County
Attorney Shea consulted in a whisper and
thp chairman announced the result of the
conference to bo that the testimony offered
wquid bQ ruled out on the grqund that the
general nature of the charges preferred did
not cover it.
The doctor was asiiod what labor a woman
In pregnancy might safely do , and stated
that In the early stages ordinary work would
not bo injurious , but that In the later s agci ,
particularly from the eighth to the ninth
month , violent physical exorcise might turn
out disastrously.
"What would you think of the casa of a
pregnant woman within a month or a week
ot confinement , washing , ironing , cooking ,
scrubbing floors , windows nnd tcpsi' | ' was
the next nuery.
"I should thi'ik that those labors would bo
injurious and wet ailvlsuulo , " responded the
witness.
Sick But Scrubbed.
"My name Is Mrs. Nelllo Gallagher , "
came from the next occupant of the witness
box. "and I work at'Mrs. Max Meyer's. 1
kn6w Mr. and Mrs. Malionoy. I wont to the
poor farm in July , 1883 , and was there seven
' weeks before I was taken sick. I was preg
nant at the time 1 wont out there and did.no
know at what time-1 might bo taken sick ,
never would have gene out there had X been
able to take care of myself. Whatever Mrs.
Mahoney asked mo to do while I was at the
hospital , I did. I did washing and scrubbing
although I was in a very weak condition
There wore four or live women In the bps-
pitul whose condition Wfta tlw - ; „ ' nn
fcejWescrubhu- lowed
Mrs a-
uiiuy und on the county clothes. In tbo
face of this it has been stated that I did not
maud garments and sou ; now ones Intended
for tno Inmates , and that I was very lazy ,
nnd did not lilto to do it. These other
women also scrubbed and washed and
pjuo'cd Mrs. Maboney's orders in every thing.
I was taken sick Saturday and my babe
\vas born the following Tuesday , August fflf ,
nt which time there wore several people at
tending mo. Dr. Taggart was the physician.
I did not do anything the day before I was
flick. I was sick on Saturday. I helped a
man carry down stairs the bed of a patient. .
I suffered much when I was on mj * knees
ncrubbing , and had pains , but I did not
speak to Mrs. Mahoncy about it.
Ninah Darrah , a little girl who was bolnu
held out there so that she might bo called
into court , and who was under the doctor's
care part of the time , attended to mo more
than any one else did after my confinement ,
The nurse waited on mo sometimes , but very
seldom as she wus With Mrs. Mahoney most
of time. I saw bur only when she brought
up the meals throe times a day and when two
or tbren days after I was taken sick she of-
Torod to wash mo. This \vas the only tlmo
ho asked if sbo might clean me , she did not
liuvo time , and she would come Into the
looms w\th \ the meals , throw them down nnd
go away. She sard that she was
afraid of Mrs. Mahonoy. Tills little
* lrl Nina took care of the
ynby and an old Irish woman that was there
looked after mo a good deal. Whtlo I was
sick the doctor ordered that I should bo fed
milk and eggs for eight days after my con
finement , and that 1 should not move myself.
Afterwards I was a little stronger. Then
Dr. Kcogh ordered for mo , in my presence
nd thatof Dr. Yates , nlcobcof tea until I
Rot well , and ho stated further that ho would
co that I got It ' 1 ho first day they brought
tuo a little broth thick with grease and salty
n brine. * Afterwards beef tea m the same
condition was offered mo. Hut 1 wns un
able to swallow either the broth or the tea ,
The third time when beef tea was carried tome
mo I ashed one of the Inmates to loaro
lit qutnlda the wlndaw until the grease
and salt had settled , liy removing tno
grease from the surface and avoiding the
( suit , lying on the bottom of the dish 1 was
.able to drink that beef tea , and that was all
, the beef tea I got. I bad plenty of nourish-
/wont for the baby but ! guess it was the Lord
that provided for it. Itessio Gibson assisted
In nursing. She was not hired as a nurse ,
but as a laundress. Til ho was the llrat name
of the regular nursoj I don't remember her
last name. She came In the nursery some
times , but .whenever she was there she looked
as If she was frightened to death , and said
that she had to burry back to Mrs. Mnhonay's '
work. .
I have beard Mrs , Mahoney quarreling
around , and I guess she had to do it occa
sionally. I cannot stato' all that occurred
When she was raising a disturbance. What
inuae her do it most of the tlmo was that she
imagined that the women were not working
hard enough. She would toll them that they
would have to work harder or leave the poor
farm. She never said anything to mo per
sonally , but she did send a message to that
effect to me when I was sick.
At the tiiuo 1 wus there the four beds of
the lying-in room were generally occupied ,
v .This child I.wus delivered pf at the poor
farm is the only ono I ever had. but I bad a
.miscarriage at ono time previous.
A.8 to Youni : Mnhonojr.
M * Hoffman stated that ha had worked
. at the poor farm from October 1 , 188T , to
' February 0 , 1689. And further : "When I
JWM at Ue county poor farm I have heard
Irs. Mahoney , In her rage , call the inmates
fools. I remember that ono hot dny in Au
rust lost n crazy named "Has' ' wus tied
o the manger ny Johnny Mahoncy nnd
cased Into a vltinblo condition. Donmt Sul-
ivan , n hired man , stood by nnd saw him
dolt. " '
On behalf of Mr. Mahoney It wan rfoucht
.0 bo shown that the witness , Dennis Sum.
van , Johnny Mahoncy nnd Has wore playing
torso and having n good time generally , but
.ho witness Insisted that whllo Johnny and
Dennis might have been enjoying themselves
t was tough on Kns , nnd went on :
"It was supper time whin I saw Johnnie
and Dennis monkeying with Kas. After
supper I went out nnd called for the latter , *
ind Johnnie told mo that if I wanted to tltiil
ilm I would have to go to the cow barn. I
stepped Into the barn and found the man
Lied with n rope so that ho uould not use his
arms. Ho was evidently suffering great pain
by reason of the heat nnd tightness of the
rope. His face wns swollen and awful rod ,
He told mo that Johnnie had tied him up ,
Then , at other times , Johnnie would strike
Has In the face whenever ho was a llttln augry
with him. "
TnfiRnrt'n AVtiltcwnsli.
Dr. Tnggarl was then called. Ho said ho.
liad been a practicing physician for n year
ami has been at the county poor farm since
May , 1838. Ills duty is to care for the sick.
Ho wus recommended oy the county physi
cian mm was appointed by the commission
ers. Ho vis I tea the wards frequently mid
considered them exceedingly clean. Ho had
never seen any mistreatment of inmates nnd
thinks the patients are well satisfied. In
cases whore women wore In a dollcato condi
tion ho Imd ordered that they bo made to do
some kind of work up to the tlmo of tholr
confinement. Nothing heavy only scrub
bing floors nnd such light work as that.
Nollo ! Gallagher , ono of the witnesses for
the complainant , never did any work that
would Injure her , nor had any other woman.
If ho thought women were working too hard
ho would report It to Mrs. Mahoney and it
would bo stopped , Nellfo Gallagher always
received the food he ordered for her. The
patients nnd their clothing were cleaned ,
There was vermin there , but brought in by
patients , and every effort was made to get
rid of them. Ho thought -the food
was sound , but upon ono occasion a
patient complained to film of the
rottcncss of the moat and on another occas
ion spoiled codllsh was served up. Ho told
the complainants to comulaln to Mr , Ma
honey and ho know It would be corrected.
Ho thought it hud been corrected. Mr. and
Mrs. Mutionoy treated the patients perfectly.
Johnny Mahunoy , the bon , was a big boy for
his ago and was full of pranks , but wasn't
cruel. The inmates did not like him how
ever.
ever.Upon cross-examination ho said that Mrs.
Mahoncy had a quick temper , but it was not
violent. Ho also said that Mrs. Muhonoy
had never found fault with him for his treat
ment of the Inmates.
Dr. Patrick Samuel Kcogh was called. I
am the county physician. 1 go there once a
week some weeks that is I have sometimes
missed a week. I go through the words
every tlmo 1 go out thoio. The wards.-aro
very clean and the bed clothing Is clean.
There is a rule that the inmates bo given n
bath when they llrst go there. The Inmates
aio not compelled to work. The attending
physician has charge of that , nnd
have always Instructed him to
work only those who wore
ablosand the patients never had to do work
that would Injure them. I never heard n
word of complaint ugalmit Mr. and Mrs. Ma-
houov from the inmates. I .havo eaten out
there , but not with tha inmates. 1 have seen
the food und consldor it good. I was
in Kings county hospital In Brooklyn. There
we hud a uniform for the patients and wo
had inoro room. The treatment hero couldu't
ba'botter.
Drnp-jecl a Stole Mm. :
Mrs. Gallagher was the first witness
called in tbo afternoon. She testified : I be
came acquainted with the Mahonoys when I
first Wbntto the poor farm. I stayed there
a week and may bo a day or two over. I
was hired as a nurso'to the sick by Commis
sioner George Tiinrae subject to.the approval
of the superintendent , und Mrs. Mahoney
came to sea mo once or twice in reference to
my accepting the position. My work at the
poor farm turned out to bo making beds ,
sweeping , mopping , carrying slops and wait
ing on the family generally. Thcso labors
would take up the whole forenoon and the
balance of tbo time I was working around at
different things. There were throe rooms
to be straightened. I looked after the chil
dren and absolutely Mrs. Mahoney did abso
lutely nothing while I wasat the hospital.
I suppose I might have spent a couple of
hours altogether with the sick cirl upstairs
during the time I was there. I don't remem
ber any sick Inmates there wore
there. Some of the men were sick , butl did
not have anything to do with them. Quito a
number of the women were ailing , I guess ,
but there was only ono confined to bed. I
don't think I was with her as much as her
necessities called for ; she needed attention
a ggod deal of the time. This woman bud
becn.lying OB her bed since the May prev
ious. I don't know what became of her
afterward , for I was there only once after I
quit the establishment.
1 remember an occasion when a man was
brought out there to the poor-huuso In a dray
or wagon. This was about the fifth day
after my arrival at the institution. I looked
out of the window nnd R JJ Mr
drivinga wjyran.-ovM- * - ; ; of
- „ . . rus stretched. They dragged -the man
out of the wagon'onto the ground , and then
pulled him up the steps Into the house , ] ust
as you would a hog. ; i spoke to Mr. and Mrs.
Mahoney , and said that the man was dying.
I had had experience , and fnlt sure that th.o
man was dying. But the only response was
that the man was drunk. I should think ho
was lying on tho. ground fifteen minutes. I
don't know whether they dissected the man
or not. I started to open the door of the
dead-house , whore he had been placed , but
it was olosml to my face.
There were two women about to bo con
fined , and they wore made to do tbo cooking ,
and they wore compelled to lift the heavy
cooking utensils. Thcso utensils were used
II a kitchen that had to be used.for the prep
aration of largo quantities of food , and some
of them I wus unable to lift myself. Those
utensils the sick girls wore compelled to lift
up and down until they wcru ready to drop. I
was not In the Kitchen often , but I saw Mrs.
Muhonoy there occasionally.
I have lived in Lincoln since last fall. I
am a widow and have a little girl nlno years
old , At present I am keeping house and' go
out nursing occasionally. I cannot remem
ber the year I went to the county hospital as
nurse , but I do recollect distinctly that it was
the day that the Mahoncys took possession
out thoro. The only doctor I saw at the
hospital was a younfe follow called Oliup.
Christina Molcortt next took the stand and'
was sworn : I commenced working for Mrs ,
Maloney at the county poor farm on Feb
ruary 3,1830 , and stayed there four weeks. I
was second girl and tho.llrst thing in the
morning I brought out meals to the sick
people ; then I worked In the parlor of the
institution ; then I cleaned up Mrs. Malonoy's
room whllo she went to breakfast and helped
around the children. 1 did whatever the
doctor asked me to do in the nursery. Mrs.
MiUoney used rough language to the sick in
mates when she was mad , calling them
darned nasty things. She used to got mad
pretty often. Tno day I got there there was
one woman about to be confined and she was
washing windows. She worked about half
a week after that and then bad to take to
her bed. This women was engaged
in the laundry and cleaning .up whore tbo
sick woman was. Most of the tlmo I was
down with Mrs. Mahoney doing whatever
she ordered. Two children wore born whllo
I was there. Dr. Taggart was the attending
physician. The nurse took care of the
mothers part of the time and the Inmates
also assisted , I was there when ono of the
children was born. I don't know that It wus
my business to take care of the sick , and I
did not have much time to give to the sick
room , as I had other work to do. "
They Showed Their Gratitude.
Drs. D. C. Gihbs. J. S. Davis nod O. P.
Harrington are throe young men , the first
two of whom , whllo medical students , wore
permitted to practice upon the Inmates of the
hospital. They attempted to show tholr ap
preciation of tha 'Mahouoys' Mildness this
morning by applying whitewash very thick.
To hoar them ono would be led to believe
tbo Douglas county jwor farm to bo a per
fect paradise , They rather overdid the mat
ter.
KinJenvorltiR to Clear Themselves.
Continuing the dofensu in the afternoon ,
the defense first called Mrs. Judge Lake.
She knows Mrs. Mahoney. She visited the
hospital in November , 1837 , and visited all
the wards. She found everything clean ,
Upon cross-examination Mrs. Lake sold she
didn't know whether her visit was made
upou oue of the days set apart for visitors or
not.
not.John G. Lee was next called. Ho fre
quently visited the hospital and thought
everything about the place was clean. Ho
never beard any complaints from tbo In
mates. Ho generally visited the hospital on
Sunday.
Mrs. Mary Murphy was the next witness
called , She Imd visited the hospital four
times on Sunday. She found the wards
clean. The bedding she did not handle , but
It looked clean. In each of tha apartments
she only Mopped n minute. She had not
talked with any of the inmates.
Mrs. . H. Cochran testified that at ono
tlmo she lived within a quarter of a mile of
the poor form. Mrs. Cochran was wont to
visit Mrs , Mahoncy frequently , nnd swore
that everything at the poor house wa * "very
clean , " the rooms were "very warm" and.
the food was "very good. " She never saw
any meat upon the table except bash , how
ever.
ever.Mrs. . Leo , a widow , said that sbo had done
some sewing for the hospital. She testified ,
also , that everything was clean arid the food
was wholesome. Some of the Inmates were
not-contented. She know notuiiig of the
condition ot the sick , She had heard ono of
the inmates complain of being overworked.
She said this was the only ono she had over
heard complain , but when asked If she
hadn't hoard Ellen Gallagher complain she
said she had , nnd that the other girl wasn't
Ellen , so she heard at least two complain ,
Mrs. 1C. J , Woodman said she visited the
poor farm once lust September. She wont
there from curiosity. She visited all the
wards. Mrs. Woodman seemed to ho anx
ious to make her evidence as emphatically
favorable to the defendants as well could bo.
Everything was very clean nnd according to
her everything at the poor farm was made
musical with thu Joyful laughter of the in
mates.
DIslntorJHtod AVUncaicB These.
Dennis Sullivan says he drove the under
taking wagon' ' for the hospital. Ho at
tempted to explain away tbo cruelty to the
Idiot Uus by saying that ho tied the boy up
in tho.stablo while they were playing horse.
Mr. Sullivan did not cat at the same table as
the inmates , but ho thounht the food was
good enough for anybody. Mr , Sullivan
still holds his position at the poor farm.
John A. Curry had been promoted from
ttio somewhat degrading position of an'in
mate to the proud position of watchman of
the Insane by Mr. Mnhonoy. Ho Intends to
keep his position. According to Mr. Curry
the Oouglas county hospital is a thing of
bounty and jov forever. Ho had been in
other hospitals hospitals of the United
States army among them and Douglas
county's hospital Is the superior of all.
F. O. Zlpp is an inmate. Ho cuts up the
moat. The moat is good , always fresh.
Fred Htokstoln Is a butcher und sells meat
to the poor farm. Very naturally Mr. Hlok-
stoln advanced the opinion that the moat
furnished is sound. Ho said ho Is city meat
Inspector and that ho mane it a rule to al
ways inspect his own meat before sending it
to the poor farm.
In closing the case the attorney for the de
fense said that ho didn't care to place Mr.
and Mrs. Mnhoncy on the stand , but that if
the commission or the attorney for the com
plaint cared to ask cither of them questions ,
they woijld answer. The attorney for the
complaint oojoetod to this unusual proceed
ing , and did net believe that It should carry
any weight. The defendants stood charged
with certain misdemeanors and It remained
for them to show their Innocensu. It was
not for the complaint to call the defendants
to the stand. Hut for some reason besi
known to himselt the defendant's attorney
refused to have them testify.
Both sides rested and the board adjourned
until 0 o'clock this morning , 'ff '
Marlon linrtnml.
The celebrated authoress , so highly es
teemed by the women of America , says on
pages 103 and 415 of her popular work :
' Eve's Daughter's ; or Common Sense for
Maid Wife and Mother1 : '
"For the aching back should it bo slow
in recovering its normal strength an ALL-
COCK'S POROUS PIASTEII Is an excellent com
forter , combining the sensation of the sus
tained pressure of n strong worm hand with
certain tonic qualities developed in the

uneasiness for several days in obstumto
cases , for perhaps a fortnight. "
"For pain in the back wear an AM.COCK'S
