tlio Story.
LX , Neb. , Oot. 1C. [ Special to THE
BBE. ] Considerable progress has been made
la the Irvine trial. The state rested its cuso
yesterday afternoon , and the defense- was
well along today , when an adjournment wus
taken until Monday morning. Mr. Irvine
\vill bo plnrod on the .stand when court con
venes Monday morning , and his testimony
promises to bo sensational , although his story
lias already been outlined to the jury. In
putting Mr. Irvine on the stand in his own
behalf , the dofeusd will act upon n precedent
well established in the Yooum trial at Hast
ings lust February. Thu fact to bo estab
lished by Irvine's testimony is not whether
Mrs. Irvine haa committed adultery with
O. E. Montgomery , hut whether her husband
believed that she had. After Irvine's testi
mony is lu will come the testimony of the
experts on insanity. The will follow the
state's rebuttnl.
Gnu ot the features of the trial next week
I/ / will bo the presence of Irvluo's little daugh-
I' ' tor Florence in the court room.
One of the most noted criminal lawyers In
Nebraska sala this afternoon to a represen
tative ot TIIK DEI : that in his opinion the de
fense has so far laid a very weak loundatlon
for.tho defense of niaula trai < sltoria which
they propose to develop and establish next
\vcok. Evan by the witnesses put on the
stand by the defonsn thu btato lias estab
lished the fact Unit Irvine was not so coin-
plutoly under a mental cloud us to ptovont
him from muktng his trip to Lincoln , goini ;
to tbo hotel , nsklns for a room , checking hU
baggage , ordering a carriage- , proceeding to
n frlcnd'b house in-ii distant part of the city ,
visiting his former homo In Lincoln , aud
even recognizing it friend an instant after
tbo shooting aud in the same Instant Inform
ing the bystanders whom ho was , where ho
lived and why ho ( Jit ! the uhootinir , und that
ho talked rationally with u clergyman us to
the morality ot his net two days after ,
The loading authorities on insauity , stated
the uttornoy referred , o , all agree tuut a
poraon mulcted with mania trausltorla nets
entirely without a motive and that when
under the strange Influence of thu malady Is
Jlkoly to attack the llrst person that ho on-
counters. To this extent the uttornoy bo-
Hotrod that Irvluo's defense up to tbo present
tlmo is weak ; but ho added that U must of
necessity become stronger as eoon as Irvine
himself took tha ntaud , far then the Jury
would ba able to sou just how the wife's
Btory of her own Inlldollty would affect his
mind.
'Iniltij' * Procoeillnc .
The llrst wlUicis this morning was Mrs.
O , C. Uphnm , who , with her husband wh
tostllled yesterday , was an ojo witness of
the tragedy. She know Mr. Irvine in Salt
Lake City. She had heard tha llrst shot and
on looking up saw Irvine lu tlio ultituda of
flritip ut Montgomery. She didn't ' recognize
Irvine at llrst. His oycs were blank and
staring nnd his face wus the whltost sue
ver nw on n human being , She tlioueht at
tlio tlmo Una Irviuo was insane. Ho seouiod
like a man in a trail re. On cro s-oxainlna-

attract his attention and reached out to shako
hands. Irvine looked him blankly In the
face , but failed to recognize him. He tried
twice to obtain recognition , but failed. Ir
vine appeared to bo laboring under seine
great mental strain. Ho tuought from Ir
vine's condition that lie had lost every
thing "dropped his wad , " as the boys say.
On cross examination witness stated that
ho had not scon Irvine for several months ;
that when ho saw him in tbo hotel ho did
not speak to him , only tried to attract his
attention.
M. F , Mclntyro was the night porter at
the Hotel Lincoln last May and checked
Irvine's valise , cane aud umbrella early m
the morning of the tragedy. Irvine wont up
stairs ana came down shortly. Afterwards
witness Rot the baggage from tbo chccic
room at Itvino's request , as the latter said
that ho would take a carriage and go away.
Irvine came back a second time and had his
baggage rcchcckcd , saying that ho had con
cluded to stay.
Home ol Irvltie'M Visions.
fiov. John Hewitt , rector ot Holy Trinity
church of Lincoln , was an old friend of
Irvine. Ho saw the latter at the peniten
tiary on the Saturday after the tragedy.
Irvine was in a distressed state of mind.
During the two hours conversation at the
penitentiary Irvine told witness that ho had
buu visions of beautitul palaces , sur
rounded by handsome grounds , with figures
of his family appearing at tbo window beck
oning him. This was after Irvine hud re
turned from Chicago and before the shooting.
Witness was then asked If ho was ac
quainted with his general reputation as to
peaceable , law abiding aud moral citizen.
To this Judge McCulloch , fur tbo state ,
objected , but the court overruled and the
answer was that Irvine's reputation was
good. Witness had conversed with Irvine in
regard to the morality of the net of killing
Montgomery. Irvine's conversation was
rational excoot when giving way to expres
sions of grief.
A. D. Kitchen testified as to Irvine's ex
cellent reputation as a peaceable , moral citi
zen.
zen.E , B. Critchelow of Salt Like City also
gave evidence as to tha good character of
Irvine during the lattor'a residence ) In that
city. Ho ulso Idcntilled Irvlno's revolver at
onn that ho had seen in the lattor's posses
sion iu the summer of 1891) ) .
A number or depositions from prominent
citizens of Salt Lake City all tended to es
tablish the BOOH reputation of Irvine lu that
city. Judge Goodwin , editor of the Salt
Lake Tribune , deposed that not ono man in a
hundred possessed so many of the qualities
that go to make up the nhnractor of the per
fect man , and that ho possessed two oipo-
olttlly noticeable traits of character , ono be
ing his strong affection for his wlfo and child
and the other his extreme sensitiveness in
regard to ills personal honor. Governor
Thomas ot Utah deposed that Irvine wusonu
of the representative citUons of Salt Lake
City and that ho had u high reputation for
Integrity and morality ,
After the depositions Had boon read tbo
court adjourned the further hearing of tno
case until Monday morning.

decides in favor of the plaintiff and pro
hibits the defendants from interfering In
any way with the building of the plaintiff's
line on Sixth street. The Rapid Transit
company therefore wins in both suits. Tnoy
are , however , somewhat impelled by a
former injunction granted by Judge Bush ,
which prohibits them from crossing the ola
company's Una at the Intersection of Ella
and Sixth streets or from continuing their
line ou Sixth from Ella to Court , one block ,
where they could make a junction with the
South Beatrice Electric railway lino. As

LINCOLN , Nob. , Oot. 15 , ( Special Tolo.
nrum to TUB BUE. ] The State Board of
Public Lands and Buildings finished its xin-
vostlgatlon ot the charges of mismanage
ment of the Lincoln hospital for the Insane
today and a copy of the findings ot the board
was filed In the executive ofllco this after
noon. As was foreshadowed last night the
board recommends that the whole matter bo
referred to the grand jury for a searching
investigation.
The findings of the board are as follows :
To Hos. JAMBS E. Uovn , Governor of the
State ot NubiMska , Lincoln , Nob. : Sir VVo
huvo the honor to submit for your considera
tion a report of our findings , as well as the
testimony taken , in the matter of the in
vestigation of aliened irregularities in
the management of the hospital for the in
sane at Lincoln , Neb. The Investigation was
begun ou the Sth day of October , IbOU ,
and was concluded upon the 15th day
of October , 18'JJ. As you will observe , the
fullest latitude was given all witnesses nnd
counsel. Much of the testimony is hearsay
and Irrelevant , but as wo were seeking light
upon thu several subjects under considera
tion , wo deemed it best that DO check or re
straint , bo placed upon the testimony offered.
rimiiiiKH or ruct. -
First Wo llnd that on the 7th day of December -
comber , 1880 , and to the ' , ' ! ld day of February ,
1802 , Dr. William M. ICnnpp was the su
perintendent of said insane hospital nnd that
during all of said tuna J , D , Luuer was tbo

ho deems nocoisary for thq efllciont nmcaofo.

of thn medical , moral and aiotie treatment of
the patients and to sea that tha several ofll-
cers of tba Institution faithfully discharge
the duties respectively assigned to them.
Second Wo llnd that'iUs the duty of tlio
steward , under the direction of the superin
tendent , hut not otherwise , to make all pur
chases of supplies for tub hospital , co keep
thu accounts , make engagements with , pay
nnd discharge cmploypa and personally hu-
pcrlntcnd the farm , ijardiin , grounds , block ,

Third That the supplies of all kinds are
purchased so far as practicable under the
contract system ; that it Is'to ' the lowest bid
der , under the direction of the steward ,
and that when money Is dr.iwn in
payment of supplies ' so furnished
vouchers are first signed'by ' the party fur
nishing the bupplles in.'triplicate , ono ol
which gncs to tba auditor , cue to the Board
of Public Lands una Buildings cud ona to the
superintendent of the hospital. On tbo
voucher that comes to the Board of Publio
Lands and Buildings the superintendent
makes a certificate in tbo following form : I
certify that tbo within account is just and cor
rect , and that it is a proper and necessary ex
pense and has not been paid. This Is signed
by the superintendent , nnd this is the bid on
which the board is required to act on the
payment of bills ,

entered upon the discharge of his duties as
such superintendent bo employed ono Frank
O. llubbard , and that said Hubbard con
tinued In his employ ns form DOSS and
butcher so long as Dr. Knapp continued in
charge of salu hospital , and for some tuna
thereafter , under the administration of Dr.
Bowman , uud it was the habit and custom of
said Hubbard. with tno knowledge of the

Fifth Wo find that the amount of coal
purchased at the hospital during the year
1891 and up to the month of May , 1892 , has
been in excess of the actual amount used and
that there hns been mismanagement on the
port of the ofllcors of the hospital regarding
the coal supply. Wo were unable to probe
the matter to the bottom for several reasons ,
all oC which must bo apparent to yourself , as
you were present during the examination ,
nmone which , however , is that the ooard
has no fund at its command for persons or
papers.
Sixth Other Irregularities in tlio purchase
of supplies , the malting and certifying of
vouchers to the board and In permitting
subordinates to make contracts and Handle
vouchers huvo npueared in tbo evidence.
Wo therefore recommend that a thorough
and searplnng investigation bo had before a
court ot competent Jurisdiction of tbo several
matters heroin before referred to , at as early
a data us practicable , to tba end that all
money unlawfully obtained from the state
may bo recovered and all parties who have
defrauded tbo state may bo ] brought to Jus
