llaa lleen Itlnnted.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. 22. f Special to THE
Bni l Judge McCullough stated in the open-
Ingot Uls argument that thjre was no quest ion
ns to wbo killed C. E. Montgomery. That
was admitted , and the onlv defense sot UP
was the plea that the prisoner was of uusouud
mind when he fired the fatal shot. For two
hours Judge Strode had stood before the
Jury , and talked of matters that had nothing
inoro to do with the case than tno Juryracu
bad to do with Briebam Young. The
sjiealcersald that Mr. Strode , wbo should be
called Ilev. Dr. Strode , D.D. , LL.D. , , had
presumed to quote laws from the bible and
to interpret thorn , and then lie quoted an
eminent Catholic divine , who had said
that whan ho took a drink of water
bo wnntcci it out of a clean
Class. And so , said the speaker , when tbe
Jury wanted divinity , it had n right to de
mand a cit-un divinity. Ho asked what diocese
cese Bishop Strode presided over. Ho said
that Brighum Young had said that tbe law
against adultery bad been repealed Judgu
Strode baa said thut the law against taking
human life had been repealed. Brlgbaui
Youughnd &ald"Tohell wltn tbolawasralnsl
odultorv. " Judge Strode bad said , "To hell
with the commandment , 'tbou shall not
hill. ' " The dfense unuw when It went
into this trial that its eviilf nco wat false.
Continuing , Judco McCullough aborted that
be wai no airalogiit fort o adulterer. What
ever no would have to say against the prisoucr
at the bar bn had no word of ccosure for the
prisoner's wife. Ho characterized the seducer
as tbo lowest creature that God ever made.
But with a married woman ho claimed
it wa different , Tne marnod woman iinows
what every ndvance means -she knows what
every advance will Inevitably lead to and if
she turn ? her buck on tbo llrst advance Bho
is safe from further molestation. If film
does not rupcl his advances , , but permits
thum until tbe Inevitable consequence on-
CUPS , she is equally guilty with him.
Arculnc Aculntt Intimity.
Tbo only question to be considered by the
jury , said Judco .McCullough , was the ques
tion of sanity or insanity , lie UKulo lignt of
the maunor Iu wDicn me defense hud under
taken to prove thu Insanity of the accused
by means of the hypothetical question * , and
said that the expert wiino > ses only tostllled
us to thulr own opinion , and that tbo Jury
had the same right to hold to ls
own opinion , The speaker tigaln wont over
the evidence stvp by step , showing the
growth ot the fueling agaluat Montgomery
in Irvine's heart. Ho claimed that tbo evidence -
denco showed that Irvine tilhrr did not love
bis wife or that ha turn long been Jealous and
suspicious. What man would bo to careful.
Hiked tbo speaker , as to preserve copies of
the telegrams he had scut to bUtvife when oe
started out to discover her mtldclity 1 Wbat
busband would be so cruel as to summon Ins
wife to meet htm at the hotel where bo pro
posed to c-itabUsh brr Infutuj I What uus-
band would bo so heartless PS to repel the
proffered kiss nf hl > wife when he uiet her
utter au absence of a third of a year , even
wbile be protested > blR entire conQnenoi in
bor fidelity < Tbo speaker contended that
Irvine's every act was tbe net of n
man wbo bad deiloerately t-ot out
Vo bunt down bis wife nad fasten upon but
toe ditgraco that must attacn to her for the
run of her life. There was entirely too tuucti
method In the actions of the man who now
come * lute court and tolls the Jury thut be
ban bad trantltory mania.
Judge McCulloush then took up the writ
ten ooufeiiion made by Mrs. Irvinu to bei
husband , and recalled the circumstances un- I ,
dur which it was written. He pictured to 1 .
the. Jury the mental distress ot Mrs. Irvine
wheu stio was compelled to write the story
of her shame and showed how imnossible It
would have been lor her to have written it
unless she had been intimidated and cocrc d.
He claimed that there was not a scintilla of
evidence to show that Montgomery was
guilty of anything criminal , and alleged that
if Mrs. Irvine had oeen placed on the stand
she would have tcld an entirely different
story in regard to tbe confessiou.
Didn't Believe 111 Her Cullt.
The speaker did not believe that Mrs.
Irvine was guilty of alt her nnaband charpoa
her with. He claimed that her confession
contained no admission of adultery. The
quoted words of little Flossie. "Mamma , if
you would bo good to papa , ho would be good
lo you , " implied that Irrlno had not been
peed to his wife , and the little child , young
as she was , had noticed the fact , Tbe de
tails of Irvine's journey from Chicago to
Lincoln and his movements prior to the
shooting go to show that there was uo insun-
ity In Irvine's actions. The facts , claimed
the speaker , were all against , tno theoty of
insanity.
Judge McCuIlough's address was very
lengthy , and lasted very nearly five hours.
Ho closed with an eloquent appeal to tbe
Jury , in which bo asKed each individual
member to remember that the shooting of
Montgomery was a * foul and bloodv a mur
der as was over committed in Nouraska or
any other state ; that every principle of richt
aernandu'Jl that the laws be vindicated. Ho
charged them to remember tbat no man had
the right to go out and shoot down a fellow
man , and claimed that if Irvine had be-
liuvod that bis wife was guilty be would
have put her quietly away and not published
bar shame and bis to all tbe world.
Attorney \\limlon hpcalm.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Attorney C. O.
Wbedon commenced his argument on behalf
of the defendant. Ho slated ut the outset
hat the Question ut issue is the sanctity of
the home. Ho insisted ibat tbo Jury must
either ocrmil tbo defendant lo wain out of
the court room a free iuan oroond him back
o bis cell under a sentence of deatn. He as
serted that If the Jurors observed their oaths
.buy could not help but acquit the prisoner.
HO'Fpoke of the sentiment everywhere maul-
fostod in tbo city of Lincoln for
the prisoner , and thanked Uod that it
was a Nebraska sentiment , uud not an
Indiana sentiment. Mr. Whodou quoted the
records to show that never in the history of
the country baa a man been punished for
taxing tbo life of tbe seducer of nis wife or
daughter. C > ovcrumenu > bad their prototype
in the famll/ and where the laws of govern
ment wcro doticloni ituas the right nt the
head of the family to supply thul deficiency
und protect tbo honor of his wife and child ,
Tuning up tbo tnoorv of insanity Mr.
Wbetion reviewed ut length the tosti-
monv of each of the ivUiieshc. , es
periallv that part which related
to Irvine's appearance und condition
'
on the unruing o'f tbo bhootlng , He arcued
that Irvlne'b every notion proved him to bu
laboring under a lit of temporary insanity.
Then Mr , Whedon attacked the hypotheti
cal question propounded by tbe state and
showed that it did not falriv rolled tbo cvi-
deuce that bad been brought out iu tbo trial.
Mr. Wbedon snoke for a little over two hours
and wai followed by Judge Powers of Salt
Lake City , also for the defense.

Seldom nas so eloquent an address been
beard by a Nebraska Jury as the one deliv
ered by Judge Powers this evening. lib
came , tie said , uot only as an attorney for
the prisoner , but as Ins friend , lie directed
his ureument to tbe sanctity of tbe American
home , and be pictured in words seldom ever
board in a court room tbe beauty and boll-
ness of a typical home. It was
sucn a home that C. 1C. Montiromery
entered and blasted. During the early part
ofhls address County Attorney Snell inter
posed aa objection and Judge Powers turned
upon him with so scathing u rebuke tbat tbo
lawn room runs : with the vigorous handclap-
ping of the audience.

ng a brother in tbo Jewelry business at 1210
South Thirteenth street , Omaha. Another
was nameo Joseph Fanferlek. The other Is
still unidentified. All the bodies are at

SttJ.
A BEE reporter was the first to acquaint
Mr. Fibieger of bis brother's death and later
to break tbe news to young Fanferlek's
'uthor , wbo lives at 1424 South Fourteenth
stroot. Mr. Fibieger said bis brother , who
was 22 years old , together w > th Adolph
Panferlek , wbo was scarcely 19. left Omaha
'or Denver about four weeks aso. Adolph
sad been employed forever two years with
he machinery and plumbing house of Leo
fJorach at Thirteenth und Howard streets ,
.caving them a tew mouths agu. Failing to
secure steadv employment , bo left for Den
ver , where beiuc again unsuccessful be
started back onlv to inept his death.
Tbe aged father of young Fanlerlik , wbo
is in moderate circumstances , was too much
overcome to suy scarcely anything ,
but between his sobs stated that only
Tbur dav he had received a letter from his
boy , in which the latter said bo would be
homo in aday or ttrcr. " The elder Fan
ferlek owns u grocery ut .tho number given
acd nls family consists of u wife , two daugh
ters and one sou remaining. Botn boy.

Wui Ilelr to u rortnnr.
In connection u-ith the suadea and awful
doa h of Fibicer , it was ascertained he had
only to attain hU majority , which is 24 in bis
native country , to come into a comfortable
legacy , left htm by relatives thero. He
bad less ' .nan two years to live before
be would bo plaoo'd in a fairly good
financial condition. TluullUlo money pos
sessed bv the boys was probably spent iu
Denver and they werd obliged to steal a ride
in order to return , Flblger bas , besidet tue
brother spoken of here , two sisters in this
city. His fattier and mother are dead. Tele
grams wore sent last night to have the bodies
Hblpped here for burial.
An effort was made to ascertain theidcntlty
of the third victim of the accident , but it
was unsuccessful. It is probable tbo body
is ttaat ot some unfortunate whom they
plcued up on tbo road. It was at lirst
thought be might be another young man of
the neighborhood who bad left for Denver a
few weaks ago , but inquiry developed the
fact that be was safe at home.
