LINCOLN , Neb. , Jan. 18. [ Special Telegram
to Tnr.Br.K. ] "No perceptible change in tlio
condition of any of the patient * , " was the
bulletin give.i out by the political doctor at
midnight.
There was another slight influx of boom
promoters this evening , but" tlio rotundas
presented a less lively appearance than for
hpverai nights past. Ono reason was the
presence of Henry Wattorson , who delivered
his lecture tonight on "Money and Morals"
at the Lansing. When the distinguished
Kentuckian left the Lincoln ho took the
lobby and several of the legislators with
him , and it was estimated that fully one-
third of the audience of l,80i ) that was pres
ent at the theater was made up of the legis
lative contingent.
The usual sights were seen around the
hotel after the lecture ; the intensity of Mon
day's and Tuesday's notes was lacking. No
material change is looked for in tomorrow's
ballot , although Majors may decide that it
is t'.tno to take his strength out of tlio
Tliurston camp. It Is understood on the In-
aldo that Majors has seven votes that will
uncover for Tliurston and stay thcro until
the strength of the latter becomes too
threatening , when the plan of the lieutenant
governor Is to pull them out in a bunch and
kill at once the chances of the Omaha candi
date.
llonnit lo Oust the ( trpnldloiun.
The information comes tonight that the
fate of the republican contingent in the
house from Douglas county is scaled. The
report of thu committee will bo submitted
Monday or early Tuesday morning , and will
bo in fuvor of ousting all of them. The com.
mlttco has listened to Clio reading of about
600 of the X ) pages of evidence , and ono of
the members remarked tonight : "There is
no necessity of going any further , for our
minds are inadu up. "
The committee will , however , make a pre
tense of continuing its work solely'to give
It nn appearance of decency , and the at-
tornoj swill bo given an opportunity to say
what is weighing on their minds , but unless
something unexpected happens the report Is
practically agreed upon. Certain it Is that
the report will precipitate the liveliest light
that has como beforu the house.
Internet of the ImU'pcndcnts.
The question has been asked , "What rea
son have the independents for desiring to
turn out these republicans ! "
Tlio answer is to bo found in the scna
torial situation. The Independents have become
come convinced that it is thu intention o
the corporations to do all In their power to
make Crounso ticnator in order to get bin
out of the gubernatorial chair , and put
in his place tliclr preferred candidate
the present lieutenant governor. The
populists are determined to prevent this , as
they see in It the certain destruction of al
that they have hope to achieve. They have
made up their minds that the only hope that
Is left them is to keep Crounso hrtho executive
tivo office , and they will assist in ousting the
seven Douglas county republicans In the
house ns a means to that end. There has
been a great deal of talk in favor of allowing
the colored representative , Dr. Hickotts , to
remain , but even this is not cprtain in view
of what the independcnts'aro disposed to ro
gnrd as a very critical situation.
The contest cases in the senate have no
been taken up as yet , but the feeling is
there , and It could not bo disguised , oven i
nn attempt was made to hldo It.
Senator on the < Jnl Vlyr.
Senator Paddock Is coming nearer uccom
pllshlng the difficult feat of being in n do/ei
places at once than any of the other cand !
dates. Ilo Is Vrofesscdly happy , and claim
the earth and the fullness thereof. The onli
thing that has happened to disturb his out
I ward calm is the re | > ort that ho luu
I negotiated a IX,000 ) loan on his Omahi
i property , as ho needed the money to help
along Ills senatorial campaign , ilo waxed 1
Indignant when ho hoard it , and deprecated 1
u dipping into private affairs that would not
f bo thought of under other circumstances.
i In speaking of the affair , he said :
"A few years ago I built a block lu Omaha
ou lots that I had owned twenty years at a
! cost of about * Tr.,000. 1 also built at Hoat-
I rlco n block , hotel , opera house and nlno
1 stores , which cost mo ubout SlTO.OiK ) . I bor
rowed money to aid In thoconstruction of
both. Hecontly I negotiated n new loan of
f > 50,000 , paying oft ono mortgage and red uc-
iiiK the principal nnd Interest of the other
f O.lXX ) . My debt was not therefore in
creased , and every dollar received from the
now loan was paid on the old ones. When a
man stands up for Nebraska , as 1 have done ,
by borrowing money to make valuable Im
provements ; * ns I have done in.this case , he
Is at least entitled to protection from the
charge of making a now loan on hot lor terms
to renew an old one , because ho needs the
money to corrupt the members of the legis
lature for any purpose \vliutovcr , "
Hurrying Up Appropriation ) ! .
The hoitso committee on tlnanco , ways and
means met at 8 o'clock this afternoon and
remained in session for thrco hours , transacting -
acting more business than was ever disposed
of before by a similar committee In the same
time in the history of Nebraska legislatures ,
Appropriations for the ntato insti
tutions and various branches ol
the state government occupied the
larger part of the session and more than hall
of the appropriations wt-ro agreed upon. The
trouble has been heretofore that appropvln-
Moils wore kept luck until the lust wcok ol
th"-vision , thus giving the senate hut i
Mwt llmo to consider them and compolllii ;
the house to concur in thu scr.ato'8 notion !
however oxtr.ivng.ini. tli > < action of the won
ate may have been. It In the Intention of tin
fommltteo tu'hnvo all the upproprUftloi
bills be fora the house within tfi
days. The older members , Casper am !
Howe , are determined to obviate this
bjoctlonable 'feature of former sessions ,
olnlng that by thus carrying out the recom-
ncmlations of both the outgoing and thu in *
oming governors , the total appropriation
an easily bo reduced three-quarters of a
nllllon or more below that of the last session.
\Vnnl to Split llalrn.
It Is stated tonight that the senate com-
ilttcoon privileges and elections is partic
ularly desirous of lifting the scalp of Senator
Clarke , but feel less bloodthirsty in the case
) f Senator Ixjbcck. It Is said to be figuring
in how it may scctiro the ousting of the
' ( inner and at the trimc time offer a reasona-
> Ie excuse for allowing the latter to retain
its seat.
Several of Iho constituents of Theodore
imlth , float representative of Johnson nnd
Nemaha counties , are in the city and have
taken a position astride the neck of that
cglslator during the past twenty-four hours
tecause of his failure to comply with his in
structions. As Is well known , the Nemaha
lelcgatlon was Instructed for Howe for
senator , but Smith took it upon himself to
ast hl.-i vote for that other Nemaha states-
nan who hails from Peru. He was repeat
edly urged by some of tlio members of the
instructing committee to carry out its bo-
icst , hut ho Informed them that ho had
ntich different arrangements. Ho subse
quently stated that ho voted for Majors be
cause tlio latter had promised the appoint-
nent of ono Flanagan of Tecutusch , Smith's
preferred candidate , for the office of oil in
spector. The obstreperous representative
lason this account been dubbed "Flanagan
Smith. "
ICronoiny Depend * on thn Alan.
It is to be feared that a number of the
lemocratlc and independent members df the
senate are talking through the roofs of their
lints when they profess to bo in favor of
economy. Sevcr.il of them have made a
great ado over the small expenditures that
were calculated lo benefit the republican
members , while they have unblushlngly re
corded themselves In favor of other matters
Intended for lliu exclusive benefit of the in
dependents. For instance , a great fuss was
made by some of the independents over the
matter of supplying each mcuibar of the sen
ate with copies of daily newspapers.
Yet today when it was proposed to
place a do'ii committee clerks on
the payroll , without reference to the
fact that their services were not likely to bo
needed until some time hud elapsed , most of
the independent members took the attitude
of opposing the economy advocated by Sena
tor Tefft. The matter will b3 disposed of
tomrrow , and the independent senators will
have an opportunity to go on record for or
against tlio reform.
The point to the whole matter lies In the
fact that the s'jperlluous clerks will all bo
independent strikers. Some of the commit
tees which the Independents are determined
to supply with clerks for the entire session
are not likely to hold more than linlf a dozen
meetings. A clerk would bo an obvious in-
cumbiiince , but so long as the clerk votes
the independent ticket and denounces the
extravagance of republican officials they
must bo taken care of tit the expense of the
people uf the .state.

The party comprised young people from
Pawtucket , and it had been rromiscuously
assembled from previous acquaintances
among thu members. The sleigh was drawn
by four horses ,
Leaving Pawtucket at an early hour the
party proceeded to Attluboro , and the condi
tions of sleighing and weather being per
fect , a mo.st enjoyable time was had.
A stop was made nt Hate's cafe , whcro
supper was had. and to lengthen iho period
of enjoyment a round-about return course
was taken. They worn singing merrily
when they approached the Lonsdalo cross
ing on the Worcester division of the Con-
I rolldatcd road. A high stone wall shuts off
I the view of the railway at tills grade.
When the party arrived at the crossing
the headlight of an engine was within
twenty-live feet of them. This was an
engine drawing the freight from Worcester ,
and it was running at eighteen milc.s an
hour. Uoforo tlio party could reali/.u tholr
terrible peril tlio cngino was upon them.
It crashed into the slelirh , forward of the
center , smashed the vehicle and hurled Its
occupants in all directions. Ueforo the
engineer could rovcrso his engine the train
plowed Into the wreckage and the victims.
As quickly as iwssiblo the train was
stopped and the crow Hurried to the assistance -
anco of the unfortunate pcoplo. From all
directions ro.sldcnts of the village hurried to
the .scene In respouso to the cries and moans
of thajnjiircd.
Thn scene was an awful ono. Tlio dead
lay whoru thuy had fallen in gruesome posl.
tions. The Injured wore writhing in pain on
the snow covered ground , nnd their groans
were heartrending. The villagers hastened
In all directions to summon surgeons , and
speedily all these within reach were on the
scone. The Injured \vcro quickly removed i to
neighboring houses , and I the doid : were
pliu-cd in the demit to bo taken to their
homes or to await identification.
All the members of thn party wcro more or
less Injured , these not seriously hurt being
convoyed to their homes in sleighs and car
riages provided by the villagers.
Tlio engineer Bald hu slowed down ns
usual at the crossing and saw the lead horses
when It was too late to stop the train.
The collision , he said , was unavoidable.

Story or IIIn Sloltnesn.
A personal friend of the family at mid
night inndo the following statement : On
Monday , January 0 , General Huycs went to
Columbus on State university business , stop
ping with his nleco , Mrs. General Mitchell.
He left Columbus for Cleveland Thursday
morning , whcro ho visited the university
with reference to securing an instructor to
take charge of manual training in the State
university. Ho remained In Cleveland with
his son Webb and left Saturday afternoon
for Fremont. Ho was striven in a close carriage -
riago to the union depot , whcro his son joined
him , and immediately after entering the
carriage ho complained of n cold nnd nskcd for
stimulants. Ho went into a waiting room
where stimulants were given him. These
so relieved him that he insisted on returning
to the train , saying ho was nil right.
"I would rather dlo In Spiegel Grove , " ho
said , "than llvo anywhere else. "
After his return to the car ho was seized
with violent pains In the chest , which lasted
until after his rottiQi homo. Ho was treated
for nnginn pcctoris , but while relieved of dis
tress Ills heart never recovered its vigor , nnd
life was suddenly terminated by paralysis
of the heart. While lying in his own room
he frequently referred to n visit made to his
wlfo's grave made on the preceding Sunday ,
and spoke of the quiet beauty of the snow-
covered scene. Ho said he almost wished ho
was lying there by the sideof his wife. It
wns all most peaceful ,
"And yet1 ho said , " 1 nm not unhappy.
My life Is an exceptionally happy one. "
His last words were : "I kuoW.I am going
whcro Lucy is , " spoKen to his family physi
cian with thu utmost earnestness.
Karly in the evening there was every rea
son to SUPPOSO that the patient would pass n
comfortable night , nnd the family retired to
rest. Ho passed quietly and painlessly away
at 10:45 : in the evening , surrounded by the
members of his household. H. P. Hayes was
seen about 1 ; : iO a. m. , and stated that his
father's death wns a great and sudden shock
to the family , ns nt no time had they ex
pected any berlous result from the sickness.

Ills I'rlemU In the Senate.
While the kno--ledge of ex-President
Hayes' serious illness nail somewhat pre
pared the senators and representatives for
the sad news of his death , still it came with
n shock to many of these ] who had known
him intimately and wcro hopeful of his abil
ity to resist this last attack. The senators
who came early to the capitol this morning
conferred together and decided that the sen
ate should adjourn Immediately after read
ing the journal , as n token of respect for the
deceased.
Senator Sherman was perhaps more in
timately associated with ex-President
Ilnyes than nny other 'senator , nnd , as n
member of his cabinet , , was officially asso
ciated with his administration. Ho was
deeply moved , and , ufter-tho senate had ad
journed nt his own potion , he said : " 1 know
him as well , perhaps , as any ono man can
know another. Ho was ! always fair and just to
friend nnd foe , nnd sometimes failed to say
'No. ' when it
would liaye-obecn better for
him to have done so , because of His disposi
tion to oblige every ono. The south should
feel profoundly grateful to him , for with in
finite courage he extended to the white men
of that section an opportunity to reorganize
their states at u 'lime when they hud
been bitterly unjust Id tflrn , 'The dliith : of
ex-President JIayes. 'cornea to me like a sud
den blow. I expeoUl { him to become my
guest at the inauguration of the mcomln ?
president. Ho certainly Bad no expectation
of death , and made arrangements for the fu
ture with confidence and cheerfulness. But
I believe that ho was as wclljireparcd for
death as human nnturo will permit any of
us to be. "
Senator Bnco spoke feelingly of M ; .
Hayes , whom ho know well.I will , ut the
proper time , " said ho. "pay my tribute to
the worth of Mr. Huycs as a man , a citizen
and public official. As u democrat , I criti
cised with much hate and great feeling the
conduct and course of affairs tyy which in
18TO and 1877 ho becntnd president , but the
warmth und kindliness , the fairness und the
tenderness of the extpresident were such
that I was never able io feel any sense of
resentment against hin ) individually. I wns ,
with his other Ohio friends , proud of his
record , his bravery and ability as n soldier ,
his noble nnd faithful sfirvico as a member
of congress , his dignified , ' " Judicious nnd sat
isfactory bundling of affairs as' governor of
Ohio , and of his temperate management of
his administration as president , an adminis-
tratlon-which'I can no.xV ; sco softened tlio
asperity growing out of ; the civil war and led
to the perfect union , the 'blessings of which
we are now enjoying : "
Mourned for in the. House.
The death of Mr. ilnyes was received
quietly by members of .Iho house , Timu had
mellowed the passions growing out of the
fierce political contest-which ! ended in Mr.
Hayes' elevation to the presidency. The
members of the Ohio delegation , nearly all
whom were personally fticqualnted with htm ,
spoke kindly of him. Ht was recalled by
democratic members Unit they had never
heard Mr. Hnyes tnahu.a political speech
siuco ho left the white/house. /
The delegation coiaorrod in the house ,
but it was decided to follpw the lead of Sena-
tar Sherman in the schuto. Members were
sent over to ascertian what action it wns pro
posed to tnkc , nnd it was1 decided to move In
the house resolutions foe'adjournmcnt out of
respect to the memory of the late president ,
and Representative Hayncs , democrat , who
comes from Mr. Hayes1' homo town , Fre
mont , was selected to present the resolutions
in a brief speech.
Mr. O'Neill of Pennsylvania , the oldest
member of the house in continuous service ,
desired to make further remarks on his
death , and the understanding was reached
that the house should nomaln in session for
nn hour or two to glvo an opportunity for
preparing resolutions. <
The Ohio delegation , ' It is stated , would
not meet as a body to frnmo resolutions of

PAHIS , Jan. 18. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to Tins Hnii. ] Tlio report of thu
death of do Freyclnet , spread tins evening ,
Is absolutely false. I have Just seen the ox-
minister of war at his private rosUlenco
rue de la Fairandcrlo. He was quite well
and not at all anxious respecting the Issue of
the crisis.
"Lot them do and say what they like , " he
said , "they have nothing against me. "
In response to my Inquiry as to whether
the examining magistrate had not ques
tioned him with regard to the : X,000 ) francs
said to havp been paid to tlio newspaaer , La
Telegraphic , upon his recommendation , do
Freyi'inet replied
"I had nothing to ilo with It. I never oc
cupied myself about the affair. "
With regard to Cornelius Herz , the ex-min
ister Raid :
"Ills decoration was demanded by General
Monadrea , then Italian ambassador. How
can a minister 1-ofuso a decoration demanded
by an ambnsasdorf Besides this , Hcrz is a
remarkable savant. He was often recom
mended by celebrated French savants. As
to my relations with Herz , much has been
saiil which Is untrue. I never went to his
house. Ho visited me , as do so many other
people. Wo never had any other relations.
The proof of this Is that I am perfectly free.
I shall speak when tlio proper time comes
and confound all my calumniators. I shall
snuff them as easily as I do this lamp. "
As ho conducted me to tlio door M. do

Stcphcne , an employe of the bank , stated
today before the parliamentary commission
that ho had been private secretary to Baron
do Hcinach , who dictated to him a list of
persons compromised In the Panama affair ,
and instructed him to take it to Clcmenceau.
Stcphcne states that his list was identical
with that given by M. Andricux to the com
mission. Clcmenceau was heard and denied
having received tlio notes. This incident
appears lilcely to lead to serious results.

PATHS , Jan. 18. Advocate General Hau , at
the Panama trial , continued his address
today against the accused directors of the
Panama canal enterprise. He said that the
defendants could riot llhd shelter' under 'the
law of prescription , ns the offenses charged
had been committed within the past thrco
years , although originating earlier. Tlio
issue of the lottery was a swindle , the re
ports published contained Inaccurate figures
intended to mislead the public , and fraudu
lent underwriting syndicates were formed ,
for all of which Ferdinand do Lesseps and
the others accused were equally responsible.
Eiffel was tin accomplice in the frauds , ho
receiving money well knowing that it was
part of the proceeds of the swindle.
The advocate general , continuing , said
that the hand of the defendants was manl-
fesj through the maneuver to which they re
sorted. Botli Ferdinand and Charles de
Lcsseps had inado a tour through the
provinces with the object of reviving the
ardor of the subscribers to the Panama en
terprise , and with that purpose they
made statements full of lying promises to
their hearers. Eiffel , through breaches of
trust , had obtained nearly ! 2. > ,000,000 francs.
Eiffel's contract with tlio Panama company
hud been absolutely valueless so far as any
results in work were concerned. Since that
contract Eiffel had executed scarcely any
portion of the work ; ho had supplied hardly
any material ; ho had simply embezzled the
company's funds. In conclusion , tlio advo
cate general demanded sovcro punishment
for the men , who , in order to attract capi
tal , had recourse to every kind of tricks and
fraud. A flno would not bo sufficient pun
ishment ; Justice demanded that such crimes
should bo severely 'repressed.
rarlliimontary Imiulry.
The first witness before the parliamentary
commission of inquiry today was M. Stepheno
a clerk in the service of Baron do Uclnach's
partner , M. Proppcr. He said that Baron do
Uclnach had left him a list of the persons
compromised in the distribution of Panama
money. Among tlio names on the list wcro
Doves , Grevy , Hoche , Du Guo , do la Foucan-
nie. , Kouvier , Floquot , Proust , Konault ,
Iiirbe , Bernl and Thovcnet. Several of the
names were repeated on the list , ns the men
Indicated had received Panama money more
than OIICP. The whole listcontnined the nnmcs
of more than lOOdoputies who had been bene
ficiaries of the Panama fund. The sums
paid these men varlnd between 1,000 , U.OOO
and il.OOO francs each.
M. Stephono said ho gave the list to M.
Clcmenceau , who ho thought could make the
best use of it. Considerable questioning by
Chairman Urisson elicited many additional
facts which went to show that , M. Stepheno
had in his possession a list similar to the ono
photographed for M. Andrieux. M.
Stophcno was requested to wait in the , com
mittee room while M. Clemonccau was being
summoned from the Chamber. Five minutes
later Clemencoau arrived with the messenger
who hud been sent to him with n request
that ho appear nt unco bo fore the commis
sion to answer to some testimony given concerning -
corning him.
Chairman Brlsson repeated briefly what
Ai. Stepheno said. M. Clomenceau denied
emphatically that ho had over received a list
of compromised deputies from anybody. Ho
had not oven heard of such a list from Baron
dii Reinach or anybody else connected with
him in business.
M. Stophtiiio was then recalled nnd re
peated his former testimony without varia
tion , directly contradicting everything that
M. Clcmenceau had said.
The Dobats says tlio police have found BOO
chocks paid by AJ Arton , the Panama lobby
ist nnd agent of Baron do Helnach , and en
dorsed by conspicuous men. It is .supposed
that most of these checks were drawn in
favor of the fourteen deputies , among whom
M. Audrieux said Arton was commissioned
to spend J.itSO.OOO francs.

many arms from both rebels and Gobicrnls-
tas , but Governor Hulijo asserts Unit a largo
quantity has not been obtained , and can , he
says , only bo secured by force.
The situation of affairs in Corricntcs is
giving President Pcna much trouble. Owing
to the energetic protests of Scnor Ancborrad
tlio president has Issued a decree declaring
the intervention constitutional. This is the
reason why Scnor Bermojo declines to take
the secretaryship of the Interior.
Admiral Solier says his recent speech was
not intended to inflame the public against
Chili , but was simply a theoretical declara
tion of Argentina's system of defense. Pub-
lie meetings have been held in Buenos Ay res
to condemn the action of the irovernor of
Corricntes
The Herald correspomlrnt at Alontevido

obtained Mansur rifles from Buenos Ayrcs.

Deputies , in secret session last
night , approved the Peruvian corpor

of the secret session the Balmacedists issued
hand bills calling on the people to assemolo
outside the congressional building and de
mand that satisfaction should be asked from
Argentina for the alleged Insult to the
Chilian vice consul at Corrientes. Few
responded to the call , and the police pre
vented any gathering without dlfllculty.
It is known that the vice consul who was at
tacked had neen interfering in the local 'poli

gnrded in official circles in Santiago as un

of Justice Kohrcr wns crowded when the
attorneys in the case of the State of Ne
braska against 1-Mward W. Mason was
culled for preliminary ho.iriiig and the
chnrgo of ulding his wife , Anna B. Mnsou ,
in thi murder of Dclevnn S. Cole was taken
up. County Attorney W. P. McCrcary up-
pen rod for the state nnd M. A. and J. C.
Hartlgan for the defense. Chris Hoeppner ,
who was county attorney when the crime
was committed last August , wns nn inter
ested spectator , although he did not take
any actlvo part.
Coroner H. J. It-win was called to the
stand. Ho found Cole lying dead August 1
last , and at n post mortem examination ho
found a bullet in the second vcrtcgrae of the
spine. The bullet was the cause of
death , in the opinion of the witness , A
flattened piece of lead , once a il'J-callber
bullet , was produced nnd identified. The defense -
fenso made no cross-examination.
Deputy Sheriff H. A. Boyd took the stand
and swore that ho had a conversation with
Mrs. Mason In regard to the murder. It was
entirely voluntary on her part , no threats or
inducements being held out. When re-
( iiiested to state what Hint convertation was
defense interposed Hie objection that it win
hearsay and in the nbscnco of the defendant
could not be admitted , but the justice ordered
It answered.
Story of ( he. Murder.
Bovd said that Mrs. Mason hud told him
on the ovenlm : of Iho murder that Cole and
n man named Fergus wcrcllxiiiga pig pen at
the hoiuo where she was living with her t.ls-
tor , a short distance from the scene of the
murder. Mrs. Mason wanted to meet him ,
nnd ns ho was going home she arranged such
n meeting south of his house , to take placont
10 o'clock that night. As the clock struck 10
she left the house without being seen , She
went to the appointed place Und waited n
considerable time for Cole to appear , and
then retraced her steps. When she got to
the ruined building she saw a iiiuii sitting in
the doorway. She asked , "Who might you
hot" nnd the man replied. "And who might
you be f" She recognized him ns Cole and
went over to tlio house.
They walked to the back door and stood
talking awhile. Then she raised n re
volver und shot him in the mouth. Ho fell
to the floor nnd she put the revolver right
behind his ear nnd fired n second time.
Mrs.3Iason said she obtained the rovolvcr
two otVthrco weeks before the murder and
said she parted with it on the morning after
the murder. A hammerless revolver wns pro
duced nnd identified ns the one the witness
got on the evening of the 15th of January
Inst. Mrs. Mason said that wus the
ono she used to kill Cole. Oil cross-examina

Stove Dlffenbnugh was called and swore
that ho wus n neighbor of ICd Mnson. The
revolver Identified by Boyd belonged to the
witness , who hail loaned it to the defendant
about the middle of June lust. { He next saw
it about 0 o'clock in the morning after Colo's
body was discovered , when Mason returned
it , asking if nnyono knew ho hnd it. Two
persons did , Dlffenbaugh's brother nnd a
hired man. Lnst Monday ho hnd another
tnlit with Mason in the eattlo yard of the
witness , on the farm , three and a half miles
from town. Mason then inquired If lie had
the rovolvcr still , saying that lie did not
want tlio fact of its being borrowed known ,
or it might make him trouble. When the
revolver was returned August ! ! , It was
empty , but looked ns if it hud been recently
fired. On the inside " the barrel at the
muzzle was something which looked like
blood. Ho called his brother to cxnmlno the
stain. Mr. Boyd took the gun on Sunday
evening last.
On cross-cxamluutlon , ho said that Mason
hnd borrowed the revolver n number of
times , the last occasion being shortly before
n trip ho made to t.ho Platto. The defense
questioned the witness with n view of show
ing that the weapon wns obtained by
methods which scared him , but he didn't
seem to bo very certain just how scared ho
wns. Lyman Doffcnbaugh corroborated his
brother's testimony. Mason , when he i-Cf
turned tlio revolver , said that he hud llroa
off till thn loads on the road to the Platto.
Hero the state rested.
ISoiuid Over \Vltliont Ball.
The defense evidently did not wish to outline -
line their plan of campaign , nnd called no
witnesses. The case was then submitted to
the court without argument. Justice Itohrer
bound the defendant over to appear before
the district court , His attorneys wished to
have their client admitted to ball , but the
request was denied and a mittimus made out
committing him to the county jail until dis
charged by duo process of law.
The Diffonbaugh brothers entered Into
recognizances to appear before the district
court tit its March term und were released.
The defense evidently has no disposition to
glvo out their side of the case Just yet and no
did not cross-examine today.
During the hearing of the cause Mason's
whito-linircd mother sat by his side whis
pering with him anil apparently not hearing1
the worst results for her son.
It wns currently reported hist night that
Mrs. Mnson had become violently Insniio in
her cell in the county jail , but the officers
say this is incorrect. Certain shrieks nnd
