County Attorney Blicri Open *
1'or tlio Prosecution nnil In fol
lowed by Mr. Kslclle for
the DcfciiHC.
As cm-ly ns 0 o'clock yesterday inoi-nhiK the
court room was crowded with u motley nsscm-
blnrjo eaKor to hoar the urgutncnts In the Neal
inurd ; r trial.
The morning's proceedings wcra opened by
Mr. Gurloy , counsel for the defendant , fllliiff
ft motion to have the fact that Neal , the
prisoner. wa5 i\ot permitted to accompany the
Jury on their visit to the Plnney farm to view
the scene of the tragedy , made part of the record -
cord of the trial. This motion was accom
panied by the aflldavlt of the court reporter
covering the ruling of the court grunting the
request of the prosecution to have the Jury
visit the farm.
County Attorney Mahoney , In his answer to
this motion , submitted his aflldavlt showing
that the counsel for the defendant were pres
ent when the order of the court granting the
Jury permission to visit the Pinuoy farm was
made and that they offered no objection and
that they thus waived their right to Imvo
their client present. Ho also presented the
nnlduvlt of C. .T. Smyth showing that the
counsel for defendant had waived their right
to have their client present at the viewing of
the premised in open court.
Mr. Ourlcy responded , stating that the
court Journal was the only legitimate record
that could bo introduced in tbe argument ,
nnd that the aflldavlt of Mr. Mahoney forti-
lled by one from liU partner , did not make
their answer a part of the court record. Ho
ald further that ho might have said to Mr.
JMuhoney that they would waive their ri ht
to have the prisoner present at the viewing
of the premises , hut that that did not contro
vert the facto contained in the motion befcro
the court. Ho therefore asked the right to in
corporate the same in the Journal proceedings
of the court.
Mr. Mnhoney replied In a vigorous manner
dwelling upon the fact that Mr. Gurlcy him
self had waived the right to have the prisoner
present , which right was nevcrdcuiedthode-
Jensc.
Mr. Kstello said that whatsoever ho or Mr.
Gurlcy might have remarked to the county
attorney about a waiver amounted to nothing
Until brought to the attention of the court ,
whii-h had never been done until at that mo
ment.
Judge Clarkson said the motion
would be overruled as the
court desires a complete record of the pro
ceedings , and that the ofllclnl record of the
court reporter Justified the ruling ; also , that
the H peel tie understanding of the county
attorney was that the counsel for the defend
ant had waived their right to have the pris
oner present on the occasion In question.
Neal was an attentive listener to this argu
ment , rarely removing his eyes from the face
of the lawyer speaking. The prisoner was as
calm and composed as the most disinterested
spectator in the audience , and looked more
like it dudlsh graduate than u suspected inur-
tlercr. His shock of black hair had been care
lessly brushed into a semi-pompadour , and his
BOld-fi-Jined eyeglasses were tilted foppishly
over his noso. Once in a while he turned in
his chair and took a searching look at the
heterogeneous assemblage packed in the aud
itorium , returning to his normal position
with a look of relined disgust.
' Mr. Shea , assistant county attornoyopencd
the argument In behalf of the state , Ho
began by speaking of the importance of the
case and the promptness it deserved in the
way of a verdict. Ho then dellned the duties
of the jury. Ho referred to the fact that
they had often heard of jurors in important
cases who had failed to do their duty.
Ho said that the evidence was such
us must have unqualifiedly con
vinced all who heard it Jury , court ,
nudienco , lawyers that that man ( advanc
ing and polntlughis linger in Neal'sfaec ] , had
inimlercd .Allen .Tones ; also that ho had
murdered the old man's wife and torn from
hi'f linger the ring that would convict him.
The old couple , he continued , pust the time in
llfo when then- could offer insistence ,
( leeiepld , trembling and helpless as babes
could have been bound and gagged , and Neal
[ again turning to the prisoner ] could have
ntolen their cattle and yet allowed them to
live.
live.Mr.
Mr. Rhp then spoke of the grades of mur
der , holding that Neal was either guilty of
murder in the ilrst degree and should hanger
or should go from the court house a free man.
Neal , during this arraignment , never re
moved his eyes from the assistant prosecutor's
face , and the only change that could bo noted
In his immobile features was u slight
heightening of color.
Mr Shea described in detail the meeting of
Neal and old man Jones , their friendly con
versation with reference to the Pinnoy farm ,
the stock , and so forth , and just how , during
all that talk , Neul was concocting his devil
ish scheme of murder. He told how Nealhad
executed his foul design , how ho had shot
the old man down and how ho had hurriedly
S&buriud him. He explained how the old man
( had evidently been murdered iirst , how the
two shots required to remove him had at
tracted his wife from the house , how Neal
had in .si led upon her and how , as she
lied in nllrlght. had shot her down ,
putting four bullets in her back as
she essayed to reach the shelter of the
house.
In recounting the incidents of the trip from
South Omaha to the Plnney farm between
Neal , Mott and Dee , Mr. Shea said that at
mo stage Mott asked Neal for a chew of tob
acco. Neal had said , "I do not chow tobacco , "
ns much as to say that that was a virtue
which ho possessed. A virtue bv that man ,
who was one of the blackest llen'ds of hades
possessing a virtue. Oh no , ho didn't chow
tobacco , but if they should lot him go free ,
and they .should cross his path and happened
to have a watch which ho wanted , ho would
swim in their blood to got it. That was the
kind of an animal Neal was.
Mr. Kstello objected to this statement , and
was sustained by the court , who said ;
"Tho statement is Improper and must not
bo indulged In again. "
Mr. Shea then gave a resume of the evidence -
denco , bringing in vividly the scene where
Neal had stopped Dee from taking an armful
of hay from the stack where old Mrs. Jones
lay buried beneath the loose timothy. Dee
wanted the hay to place under the calf they
were going to bring in with the rest of the
Block for sale. All the incidents of the driv
ing of thu stock in were detailed ami an In
teresting story told of their disposition.
Adjourned until a o'clock.
In the Afternoon.
Mr. Slien resumed his argument hi the af
ternoon by going back to the night of Febru
ary -I , ami recalling that in the evening be
tween 7 : ' , ! ( ) nnd 8 o'clock Neal visited Carpen
ter's livery stable wearing Mr. Jones' over-
coat.
coat."And
"And right hero , gentlemen of the Jnrv , "
said the speaker , " 1 want to ask how you can
const rue It otherwise than that this man
Neal , who were that oven-oat , Is thu bloody
handed assassin of old Mr. Jones ! I ask you
to think of the sepulcher which Neal dug in
the nmnuro for the body of that whlto haired
old man think of the blood that ooied
through the walls of that horrible sepuleher ,
and state if you can that that blood can bo on
any head other than the head of this already-
proven villain 1"
The bill of sulo given by Neal when ho re
ceived pay wits taken up. Thospenkorhanded
it to the jury and each man was requested to
scnitini/o it carefullyi
"Noto with what gj-eat haste the bill was
written by this fellow who now faces you with
such u strong face. "
Chancing to refer to the prisoner us "that
man with the eye glasses on. " Mr. Shea
stopped short in the explanation of some
minor detail connected with the horse deal ,
and shaking his linger at Neal , exclaimed ;
"Anil , gentlemen of the jury , I will tell you
right hero that I shall tell you something
about tho.-o eye glassesof this prisoner Iniforo
1 linlsh , Those yo glasses uro u subterfuge ,
u mockery and u snare. Yes , gentlemen , I
will tell you all about those eye glasses
later on.
"In teling you , gentlemen , that wo are
morally certain of having the murderer of
those old iK'ople , 1 need , In order to prove It ,
only refer to the fact that the counsel for the
prisoner has not contradicted a single bit of
our evidence ,
, "Notwithstanding the fact that counsel
for the tlofenv ) hnvo been zealous to stem
the great nail overwhelmingly hopeless tide
of evidence against their brazen-faced client ,
Mr. Gurlcy of tlmtcounsel went too fnr When
ho tried to Impugn the statements of
that llttlo girl , Ilttcck. Mr. Gurley tried
to make It appear that that llttlo girl enter
tained some regard for this double dyed vll-
Han , O , Ourloy , Gurlcy , I thought you too
pure , too fair a man for such a thing , Gur
lcy went at this llttlo girl from the very first
In a raving manner that would have discom
posed and disarranged the thoughts of the
Heaviest man that lives. When Gurlcy got
her In this condition ho sncerlngly glanced at
you , ns much as to say , 'Scesho tells n differ
ent story from what she did at the prelimi
nary examination. ' Under such circum
stances the llttlo girl did not repent verbatim
the testimony which she had given at the pre
liminary hearing , but , gentlemen of
the Jury , Gurley nor Kstello did
not , they could not , say that she
gave answers in this court materially
different than at the examination. In mean
ing , nnd in fact in fact clear and convincing
that llttlo girl's statements were the
sumo.
"Tho fact that this llttlo girl and Neal
played with a baby together at about the
same tlmo is used by Mr. Gurley. The utter
Insignificance of this incident , so far as re
flecting upon this llttlo girl , Is too apparent
to require a word of comment from mo.
j'Neal never were glasses In South Omaha ,
in Omaha , or nt the Plnney farm. It became
necessary for him to wear these glasses only
after ho had left Nebraska.
"Among the Jewelry which ho bought with
the money obtained from the sale of the
stock which ho had stolen was n Knights
Templar charm. On that charm were the
Latin words , 'In hoc slgno vinccs,1 which
'In this . '
means sign we conquer.
"Ah. gentlemen of the Jury , how 111-bcflt-
ting tlio purchaser were those words ! How
befitting were they to the statot 'In this
sign wo conquer , ' and mainly by those arti
cles of Jewelry , or even that one article. I be
lieve that you , gentlemen of the jury , will say
that wo have conquered. To mv mind it Is
impossible for you to suv aught clsq than that
wo have conquered. Wo Imvo shown the
truth of Real's guilt by these very things ,
especially the old gold ring which Neal took
from the body of Mrs. Jones after ho hud shot
the life out of It. "
In closing , Mr. Shea called attention to the
fact that there were but two verdicts possi
ble guilty or Innocent. Ho pleaded with the
Jury to render a verdict which would send
the assurance to every farm homo In this
state that the inmates were safe from the
pistol of the assassin.
Mr. Estello began speaking at 3:30 : o'clock ,
opening as follows ;
"It was the pleasure of my friend who
opened the prosecution of this case to open it
with an appeal to view the evidence in this
case In a cool , calm , collected manner. Allow
me , gentlemen , to saj something of the duties
of a Juror.
"I believe it the duty of every juror to con
sider this case by the evidence produced and
the law in the case. When I go into a crowd ,
into a mob , no one realizes what ho is doing.
I hove been in a mob , nnd 1 remember that I
thought and acted as did those about mo , and
not for myself. When ono of the greatest
cities in this world was about to bo destroyed
by a wild , unreasoning , unthinking mob , ono
man , who thought for himself and was calm ,
collected and composed , stood forth. It was
Lamcrtine. Ho cared naught for the tur
moil about him. Ho stood for quiet thought.
Ho led , instead of being led by that awful
mod.
"Gentlemen , todav you are standing in the
midst of a great mob that is clamoring for
this man's blood. Oh , gentlemen , bo reason
able ! Stand on reason. Calmly , quietly and
with justice in your hearts consider the facts
in this case.
"After counsel for state had announced
that they wanted to deal fairly with this
matter , Mr. Shea comes forward with such
nn exhibition and with such words us Imvo71
warrant , never before been heard before a
a jury in this county. What a departure 1
"The state in this case relies entirely on cir
cumstantial evidence , and they say that all cir-
umstnnces point to Neal as the guilty one.
If the circumstances in this case are Just as
consistent with the innocence of this man as
they are with his guilt , then , gentlemen , you
must acquit him. "
Proceeding , Mr. Estello referred to the
celebrated case of the State vs Bradshaw ,
wherein defendant was convicted on circum
stantial evidence. The case went to the su
preme court twice , and both times the ver
dict of guilty , pronounced in the lower court ,
was alllrmcd. After the defendant had
spent ten years in the penitentiary he was
pardoned by Governor Thayer. In thatcase ,
as in this , it was proven that defendant had
stolen goods from the victim.
The speaker thought it very strange if lie
couldn't shako hands with Thurston ,
Cowin and Watson without Mr.
Shea talking about unassigned counsel.
Then the speaker went on expatiating on the
assertion that nobodv had been produced who
could swear that "lid Neal , " "Kd D. Neal. "
"Caton " " " etc. nnd the
, "Livingston , , pris
oner at the bar were ono and the same. Ho
considered this to Imvo been a fatal omission
on the part of the state.
"Several of the witnesses , " said the
speaker , "gave testimony which the jury
must have noticed was favorable to us. Take
for instance , Kd O'Uricn , city editor of Tin ;
BKK. He wife a good witness. Ho spoke
honestly , and yet , gentlemen of the Jury , if
you bellovo the testimony given by Ed
O'Brien you will acquit Neal , our client
hero.
"Tho untold wealth of Douglas county is
"
all behind the state in this matter , " "was
dwelt upon long nnd loud , while the fact
was that that same "untold wealth of Doug
las county" was paving counsel for prisoner ,
the speaker himself and Mr. Gurloy.
Then the spcakur announced that ho would
consider the case under three heads. First ,
Neal's ' transactions on February ! i and 4 :
second , his transactions after those dates , and
third , his transactions after his arrest.
Next came the assertion that it looked far
more likely that the killing was done on Fcl > -
nmry ! 1 instead of 4. Assuming with great
emphasis that it did occur on the 3d , the
speaker went on to show how the testimony
of the Hncck girl acquitted the prisoner be
cause it accounted for his presence nearly
every hour of the ltd. The speaker pleaded
that if Neal was guilty the county attorney
would let Sherman and Shellenberger out.
Admitting , for the sake of n story , that Neal
was the murderer of old Mr. and Mrs , Jones ,
the speaker said that no sane person would
over have returned to the scene of so awful u
crime simply to obtain pelf.
"Call our client a criminal , call him nervy ,
say ho has u bad face , a bad record , anything
that you will , but for God sake don't call
him an idiot I"
This exclamation was made as if in ono
breath and with deafening vehemence.
"Wo won't try to controvert the fact
which was tried to bo shown up by that old
gold ring. No fact , no showing was mado.
And as for that Knight Templar charm it
wa only a play In the hope of touching noino
member of the order who by chance might bo
upon this jury.
"Then tUcro is that paid detective affair !
Gentlemen of this jury , there isn't u detective
in this country but that for $10 a day would
glvo testimony to hang any IK.TSOU in this
court room. "
It seemed utterly Impossible for the speaker
to let the name of Witness O'Brien alone ,
trying apparently by ovcry trick of words nt
his command to give still greater emphasis to
his assertion that Mr. O'Brien's testimony , or
rather the falluroof the latter to Ho while
upon the stand , would go fur toward acquit
ting his client.
Mr. Estollo closed with a general appeal
for u verdict favorable to the prisoner , and
court adjourned to 1) ) ; 30 o'clock this morning.

THE I1EIEENSTE1N COMBINE ,
It Outrageously Asks Judge Dundy to Step
Out of Court.
*
THE PROTEST OF THE BAR.
Its Leading ; Members Denounce the
Villainy nnd Uio Him to Ke-
innlti in the Interest of
Many Happy Homes.
.Tudgo Dundy heard arguments yesterday
morning to determine whether or not ho was
disqualified to try and determine the Hclfcn-
stcln cases. An unusually largo number of
lawyers nnd others wcro present , all of whom
were Interested in the case ,
Tlio attorney for Helfeiisteln presented a
protest several days ago against Judge
Dundy trying the case for the reason UmtK.S.
Dundy , Jr. was supposed to have n remote in
terest In the property known ns Paulson's
addition which is a part of the property In
litigation.
The complainant stated that ho had dis
covered from filings in the ofllco of tlio
recorder of deeds that the young man In
question had owned the property nnd
that slnco objection had been made ,
had on May 17 given n deed to
the Paulson estate , for the property under
consideration. Ho argued therefore that the
court should have declined to sit on the case
without having been asked. Ho quoted from
statutes 615 and Ilrst Curtis showing that a
judge who had any Interest in a cause before
him was disqualified to act , as as was also if
u relative was interested in any way.
Attorney Holmes for the defendants stated
that J. B. Ten-Ill now held a quit-claim deed
to the Paulsen addition. There had been a
number of warranty deeds issued since
"Skip" Dundy had held ownership In the
property , and thought , therefore , under the
circumstances that Mr. Dundy was free and
clear of any interest in the property.
Mr. 4-mbroso said that ho did not bellevo
there had been a kindred application of the
kind in the country. The relative
of the court had convoyed his interest
in the piece of land in controversy. Ho had
watched Covcll's reading of the statutes for
ono word and that was that the Judge must
have a personal interest. Ho cited several
cases in contradiction of the court's personal
or contingent interest. "If Helfenstein , " ho
said , "is u resident of Omaha , there-should
bo some relief outside the law , " to which u
voice in the audience said :
"Tlio claim club. "
"Yes1 , " said Mr. Ambrose , "with A. J' .
Hanscom , president , and John I. Kcdick , sec
retary. "
This attempted throwing the matter out of
the court's jurisdiction , ho said , was merely
a subterfuge to levy blackmail upon tlio pres
ent holders of the property.
John I. Kcdick , who has'a personal interest
in the property , said tbe attempt to take the
case from the court was not to servo the ends
of Justice but to squeeze ! 20 per cent of the
value of the property out of some poor man
who was making a homo for himself.
"When the case comes up , " he said , "J will
show you a clear twenty years' ownership in
tills property. " In justice to those whose
homes and property were jeopardized
ho urged the court to try the case ,
us the objection presented was merely
to defeat justice. Ho urged that if
the court's son had been released from inter
est in the Paulson addition the court should
try the case speedily.
" " concluded Mr. Redick
"Twenty years ago , ,
"if these lawyers of Helfenstein had tried
this business they would have been put in the
river. "
This raised considerable laughter.
J. L. Kennedy said : "This is not a
question of retiring your honor
from a case involving the interests of a few.
It means tlio transfer of the case to some
other circuit court , perhaps in Iowa , and the
transfer of witness , books of record , etc. , to
say nothing of its continuance for a long
period , greatly to the injustice of the defend
ants. I believe that your honor has the back
bone to determine whether your son lias
contingent Interest in the property or not , ho
certainly can have no more. The Helfen
stein interests are not trying to transfer the
case to get justice but to defeat it. "
John D. Howe argued that the plaintiffs
were but trying to aim a shot at the
court's sensibilities in the matter by
arguing a remote interest of his
in the matter. It would resemble , ho thought ,
the old maid's dream. She dreamed that she
had been married , had a child 'and was ono
day boiling soap in the back yard when the
child fell into the kettle and spoiled the soap.
The counsel , knowing the sensitiveness of the
court , waa attempting to play upon it , but ho
thought the evidence did not sustain the ob
jection and ijrayed that the case might bo
speedily tried in justice to the people whoso
interests and homes were involved.
At the opening of the afternoon session of
the Helfenstein case C. S. Chase and John
C. Wharton spoke in about the same strain
ns had the attorneys who spoke during the
morning , pleading that tlio cases bo brought
to a speedy trial. Ono or two other attorneys
spoke briefly , asking that the cases be tried
at oiico. Judge Duiuly then asked Mr. Covell
if ho had anything more to say , but that gen
tleman said ho had made his argument. The
court in summing up the arguments said tnat
ho could not see how ho was interested in the
case , with tlio possible exception of three or
four cases in which It was said that his son
Was incidentally Interested. The heir ap
parent is interested in a good many things ,
but ho could not see that it impaired his
ability to try cases. Ho was often
called upon to try cases involving the
validity 6f taxes , but ho was
interested in taxes and it had never been
claimed that lie was not qualified to try them.
The cases that his son was supposed to bo
interested in ho felt a delicacy about decid
ing , but ho could not see how ho could bo at
all interested in the others , nor why ho should
not try them.
Mr. Covell will make a motion this morning
that the cases involving the Paulding addi
tion not bo tried by the court.

A Probable Fnir Grounds.
Monday night about twenty South Omaha
business men met in John Doo's ofllco to dis
cuss the feasibility of purchasing 100 acres of
ground on Q street west of the city for fail-
grounds purposes. I. S. Huscall , Morris Mor
risen , Joseph ICnvan , Street Commissioner
Flannery , and others from Omaha attended.
The land is now the property of Countv
Commissioner Corrigaa and I. S. Hascali.
They offer to turn it over to a stock r-otnpany

Kabo corset lasts a year
without breaking or kinking
or shifting a " bone , " because
the store refunds the money
in case of a single item of
failure in these respects.
And no one .doubts that
the Kabo answers its purpose
and suits the wearer , because ,
if it don't , the store refunds
the money on call within a
week or two or three.
It is the unbreakable cor
set , the Kab'p. , It is the
un-wear-out-able the

From the store-house of Nature came by intuition a priceless boon
to the human race , through which physical sufferers in untold thou
sands arc made to rejoice in the restoration of health , and all the
blessings , joys and pleasures thereunto pertaining. . . . . . . .
"IT HAS DEEN A BLESSING TO ME , "
Is the manner In which Mrs. M. A. Peeler , an estimable lady of Morgantown , N. C. , cxprcssc *
her appreciation of Swift's Specific. The following Is an extract from her letter :
Swift's Specific ( S4. S. S. ) has been a blessing to me. Afflicted with rheumatism and fcmala
weakness for a number of years , during which tlmo I took a rjreat dial of medicine , nothing giving
mo relief but Swift's Specific ( S. S. S. ) What I suffered and endured before commencing on
Swift's Specific ( S. S. S. ) Is painful to even think about ; but after taking that medicine I got well ,
and have continued to enjoy the best health since. I cannot say more than I believe In the praise
of Swift's Specific ( S.S.S. )
CURED HER CHILD.
Two years ago scrofula appeared In the head of my little grandchild , then 18 months old
After using a number of bottles of Swift's Specific the disease entirely disappeared. 0
