Celebrated Maish Case domes Up in Ita
Usual Sensational Etyle.
RIVALRY OF THE AFFIDAVIT MAKERS ,
> ln"orcnt Ilrniulu of Depositions Pre
sented Tor Consideration by tlio
Court AVImt Kncli Says
of tlia Oilier.
Yesterday morning the cnso ofV. . F.
Cra glo against Charlotte Maish et al was
taken up. This case was tried several years
ngo In the district court nnd decided In favor
of the plaintiff ; then taken to the supreme
court , where the decision of the lower court
was afllrmcd. Fremont Benjamin , VI"3 nt *
tornoy for the plaintiff , had the case reopened
some tlmo ngo , on the ground that ho had
discovered that the witnesses upon whoso
testimony the case had been decided , had
not known the facts that they were testify
ing to at the tlmo of the trial , but had been
Induced to testify on n false statement made
to them by the men who dad drawn up their
depositions
Fllukinger Brothers , the attorneys for the
defense , sued out another set uf depositions ,
nnd these were lllcd in district court a few
days ngo , the witnesses referred to , Henry
nnd Michael Flueccl , stating that they had
been bribed by William L. Coyne , to sign
the depositions which Benjamin had sued
out. The witness then went on to say
that ho had come a "snide" game over Coyne ,
nnd had gotten possession of the depositions
by telling him that ho was n German niul
could not understand English very well , be
that ho wanted to take tlie papers to a friend
of his for translation. IP this way the at
torneys for the defendants secured possession
of what they supposed was the papers that
would prove the fact of a conspiracy , for the
purpose of getting possession of the farm
which was at the bottom of the original law
suit , and which Is now occupied by an old
man by the 11111110of Martin , who lives In the
east em ! of the coiinty.
According to Coyne's statement the doposl
tlon was properly signed by the two Ger
man ? , and ho has In his possession their testl
mony , the answers to the questions belnj ,
written In Fluegol's handwriting , and this
valuable document will bu forthcoming at the
proper time , which will probably bo today
Ho took the prerautlon of having Fluego
write his own answers , ho says , because ho
knows him to bo a thoroughly unscrupulou
man , who will do niivthlng for money.
Coyne also states that ho has a contract
which was entered Into between the llrm o
Parks & Ploasants of Hock Island , who are
the flrm of attorneys wno have attended to
the affairs of Mulsh at the eastern end ot the
line , and the two Flnegels. at the tlmo the
original suit was tried , by whllch the Flucgels
were to nave $ WO In cose they tet-tilled
to order. They testilled ns they were told ,
and after the case had been decided nnd the
farm had been gotten , hold of by Pants &
Plcasants , the Flhegols presented their , con
tract saying that they were ready to have
their aharo of the spoils. The attorneys ,
Coyno says , refused to honor the contract ,
and this so Incensed the two Germans that
they were ready to seek revenge In whatever
way it should happen to turn up Hint. They
mentioned to Coyne , incidentally , that they
had the above mentioned contract. This
contract also Coyne claims to have In his
possession , ready to bo sprung at the proper
moment.
Yesterday morning a motion was Hied by
Flickinger Brothers to supnress the deposi
tions which were illcd by Benjamin Wednes
day evening , on the ground of nn Informality
in tlio tiling. These depositions includes
statement bv William L. Coyno that ho par
tially took the depositions of Henry and
Michael Fluejrel and that they swore
to the same before htm , but refused
to sign them. lie states also that
Michael Fuegel , one day while Coyno
was at bis house trying to get him to sign
the deposition intended for him , suddenly
seized the paper nnd ran out of the
room with it. Ho afterword told Coyno
.hat ho wanted It for tbo purpose of showing
t to n Gorman friend and having Its mean-
ng more clearly Interpreted to him and that
.vlicn ho had done this ho would sign it anil
return It to Coyne. But Coyno never saw
ho deposition again. Among the depositions
Illed by Benjamin was also ono from Carroll
Uouiloy , statine that the deposition given as
: us in the case of Mnish against Crangle , out
of which the trouble grew , was not true and
ivns not the deposition bo thought ho was
signing.
The attorneys for the plaintiff then Hied n
motion for a continuance on the ground of
surprise , nnd this motion would very likely
have been sustained , and tlie trial of the case
put off , had not an agreement been entered
nto by the attorneys , by which the depo
sition should be treated as though there had
ben no informality , and the motion to con
tlnuo should bo withdrawn. The trial of the
ease pronor will bo taken up the llrat thing
this morning.

Monroe and Hlco , who have been associ
ated In farce comedy ns co-stars for the past
live years , began their Html engagement nt
the Boyd lost nlpht , their partnership ending
with their petfoinmnco Sunday night. "My
Aunt Bridget- " which made such n pro
nounced hit hero last year Is , If anything ,
stronger now than then , The ploy , of course ,
Is nonsense , but what delicious nonsense It
Is I It Is crowded with clover specialties ,
made so by many leading lights In farjo com
edy.
edy.While
While Monroe and Hico are responsible ferment
much of the evening's delightful entertain
ment , they by no means dim the ability of
their excellent companv , the strongest , with
the single exception of "The City Directory , "
that bos been seen In Omaha the present sea
son.
George W. Monroe Is almost nlono ns n de
lineator of the Irlbh female , and throughout
ho gives a broad character study of a typo
which of late years has not been overdone
on the stage. His humor is unctuous , his
laugh infectuous , mid his continued itera
tion of the line "Oh , by Gosh , " brings out
streams of laughter from the audience.
John C. Hlce , ns n "sporty" young mar , dependant -
pendant upon his aunt Bridget for a stake ,
makes the most of his opportunity. An ex
cellent dancer , u good singer nnd a first rate
comedian , ho ought to make a go of his now
play in which 1m will bo seen next season.
But , running neck nnd nccK with the stars
are Mr. J. Aldtlch Llbby and Andrew Muck ,
the former seen hero last year In "The Little
Tycoon , " playing the part of the sailor lover.
Mr. Muck is the possessor of a beautllul
tenor voice which ho used to good advantage
In that old melodv "Sally In Our
Alley " and "Tho
, Songs My Mammy
Sang to Mo. " Mr. Llbby created a
sensation by his rendition of that stronglv
descriptive song by Felix M. GufTen , entitled
"Comrades , " which won a triple encore.
But tbo strength of the company is not con
fined to the men alone : Little HobCbud , Miss
Sadie McDonald and Miss Dare are a trio of
remarkably pretty and thoroughly capable
comediennes , giving tbo stars very able sup
port.Little
Little Rosebud is n Jewel. Petlto , viva-
nlmis and a clani-nr of decided nbllitv. her
performance of Polly Glider could not bo Im
proved.
Miss McDonold is a decided acquisition to
the cotnpany. A handsome young1 woman to
begin with , she has moro than ordinary dra
matic ability , which shows to advantage lu
her scene with Alton who teaches her the
rudiments of actinir. Miss Dare reminds one
very much of the picture of Yvotto Guilbert
the new fad of Paris. She Is liliao and
pretty ana her chic Is charming.

Gus Dorsoy , a negro , formerly In the em
ploy of n Fnrnam street clothing house , was
found dead in his bed lu a small room over
115 South Eleventh street , about 0 o'clock last
evening. C. H. Anderson discovered the
liead man , and nt onca notiQcd Ofllcer Dillon ,
who telephoned the facts to the police station.
The man lay In a miserable bed lu a small
room , surrounded by several cups nnd pans.
Ho was greatly emaciated , and had evidently
been a great and long sufferer. Dorsoy is a
grey hairad and bearded old negro , whoso
face was often seen upon the streets. As far
as can bo learned Dorsoy had no relatives and
no ono seems to know anything ubout bis
illness or death. The coroner was nottiled ,
and after viewing the body had it removed to
eafoy i ; Hcafoy's , where it now awaits an
nqucst.
The alarm of lire at 7:40 : o'clock last even-
JIB was caused bv a slight blaza at the resi
dence of Mrs. U. Heed , 1809 South Eleventh

an Ironing board and then put the board in n
closet. A small flro was the result. The loss
was trilling.
