, . "I would average it at 110 cents per cubic
foot here. "
.
, . ,
"What do you estimate the value of the
nibble ? " , ,
"I have figured it at f 1 per cubic yard in
the wall. "
" 1 don't mean that : I want to know what
It is worth per cubic foot here , "
"That 1 could not answer oil hand. "
"Is there any Ncmstm nibble in the south
\valll"
"Yes. sir. "
"What Is ii worth per 100 pound * ! "
" 1 can't answer. "
Newt \ It should turn out that this di
mension dimension stone was bought ht 10
cents at the-quarry and laid down hero at
10 cents per cubic foot , would that chance
your mind as to the market valuer1
"If I had the money and went out and
Iwught nt that price It might chanro my
mind to some extent. "
"If nil the owners of the quarries should
testify that they never sola the stone for
more than 10 cents per cubic foot , woiil.l
that fact change your mind as to the market
value of the stone ! "
"No , sir ; It would not. "
' Do you know what the lalxir would be

walls I"
J Homowlmt ll' y on I'rlccs.
"No , sir ; I cannot say , hut I know that the
concrete Inhl wouldbo worth J0.50 per yard. "
"Arc your figures high ! " ,
"No right "
, Just ,
"When you made these itctircs , did you
know what the building had cost ! "
"Not when I commenced flouring. "
"Who requested you to make your com
putation ? "
"General Hastings and Mr. Allen. "
"Did you over do tiny business for these
"I superintended a building at Beatrice
for them. " * ,
' 'When n man charges ? 0.5 ( ) per eubie yard
Tor laying stone In the wall does ho not usu
ally furnish his own tools ; now tell mo ,
honor bright ? "
"Owing to whether the contract Is let for
so much per perch or some other way. "
"Ho would provide his own scaffolding and
housing ? "
"Yes , sir ; but I was told to go out there
and figure up what I found. "
"In making your estimate you llgured the
building without these tools and extras ? "
"Yes , sir. "
' 'Then these extras for derricks , leaders
anil other thlncs ought not to have been
added { "
"No sir. "
"Wllo told you the 800 pounds of nails and
CIO sucks of cement belonged to the state ? "
'No person told tne ; I Just put it in. "
"Do you know how much lumber went into
the workshop ! "
"I can't tell now , but I have the figures
somewhere. "
"What would the lumber cost to build that
house ? "
"Tlio building complete I should say would
.
What did the lumber in the cell house
cost ? "
"I can't tell , ns I figured the lumber and
labor together. "
The witness brightened up when Jtlr.
Lambcrtson remarked "that's atl , " for he
appeared to rcali/e that ho had just been re
leased from u tight box.
Mr. Webster had a few questions on re
direct and asked : "Mr. Grant , what usually
becomes of the tools and derricks after a
contract of this kind Is completed ( "
"Tho contractor usually hauls that kind of
stuff away. "
; "But , if it did not belong to him , what
then ? "
"Would remain on the ground. "
"Air. Witness , " askccl Judge Norval ,
"what's the ft-idth of that coping over there
nt the cell house ? "
"Why , I can't say , " answered the witness ,
"as I did not go into those details. "
Uut.Somu Moro Umiiliu
That lot the man from Beatrice out , and
George L. Fisher , an Omaha architect , took
his place.
ss/lDo you know the value of stone , which
goes into buildings ? " asked Mr. Webster.
"Yes , sir. "
" "Have you examined the cell house pAujis ! "
"I have. " ,
"Are they good , or bad ? "
" "GobdJ" ' ' ' > ' "
, "Is. the building constructed In accordance
with the plans ? "
'It is. "
"What about the workmanship ? " v -
r"That's rtrst class. " _ .
' "What is that makes concreting expen
sive ? " asked Mr. Webster.
"Tho broken stone , sand and cement ,
which as liquid makes the solid. To make a
yard of concrete requires about one yard of
stono. The entire mixture is one part of
cement , two parts of sand and three parts of
broken stom1. "
"Do you find any ashler work in the south
wall ! "
"Yes , oir ; 4CO cubic feet , amounting lo
$ M3. "
"What is a fair price for the broken
nsher ? "
"Fifty cents per cubic foot , put in the
wall. "
' What Is the cost of the building as it
now stands ! "
The answer raised everybody out , for the
witness Jumped the price to the limit of the
appropriation by saying the wall was worth
t33,404,88 as It now stands , or SK UUi com
pleted.
"That is all , " said Mr. Webster , and then
Mr. Lambcrtson asked : "You did not getup
up on the building and make all of those
measurements ! "
> lloir Ho Got llli riffures.
'
* "No ; I made a good many from the
plans. "
"How did you mcasuro the thickness of
the wall ? "
' By going into those holes that had been
dug. "
"You took it for granted that the wall was
of thu < sumo thlckncbs along its entire
Icjigth ! "
. { m should be. "
JlYbu'ijuessed at all of the footings except
tWosu yous.iw ! "
5".I did not bee them. "
"Wore thcso footings Cedar Creel : stone ? "
S"I could not say. "
; V\Vonld not this make some difference in
the price of cutting ? "
ul could not say. "
" "Do ; you estimate the footings as dimen
sion or rubble ! "
"I culled It scaublcd work. "
"What is the market value of that
stone ! "
I called it 50 ! cents per cable foot. "
"If that was Hol'l and delivered f , o. b. nt
8 cents per cubic foot , woulu that change
your estimator1
, "It would ; but I did not fltruro on that. "
"How did you gut fO for concrete ? "
"Because that is the market price. "
"Did you do any work hero on the basis of
$0 per cubic yard for concrete/ "
"I think ho. "
"What pricodoyou llson the .stono used
in the concrete 1"
" 1 figure on the finished material. "
"What price did you fix for footing stone ? "
"Thirty cents per cublo foot. "
"What would that stone bo worth de
livered hero ! "
. "About ' } cents per i-ubio foot. "
"If U should turn out that the market
prlcoof this stone was Scents per cubic
foot , tlicu you would have to change your
estimate ? "
"Why , yes : of course. "
"So you call this a good class of rubble ? "
"I did not Intcmi to convey that Idea ; it
is Urn next thing to It. "
"You think CO cents Is an cxtortionat :
price for laying those footings ? "
"I would not estimate- that high. "
"If that stone was sold at cents , it could
bu-lAld for about lij cents , could it not ? "
"I did not lltfuru on the basis of any such
prices. "
"Now , you any that dimension stnno laid
Jn the wall U ito cents ; If it in shown that
the stone was bought for 10 a-iits , it could
bo laid in the wall for a good ilcnl lu s | "
"J think w > .
"Ono other question , " n.ild Mr. Welmter
ffO. redirect. "Would it make any difference
Whether this building was ifuistructcd 30y >
contract or days' work ! "
"Wo usually tlguro that wo can do a little
bolter by contract. "
Contractor Cuot * ' Plgur- * .
John F. . Coots , another of the Oaiaha
trohltccts. went upon the. stnud and started
K the examination by detailing the list of
'If ' largo liulldingi which ho had constructed in
I ) Omaha and other cities.

"Yes , sir. "
"Have you visited the cell house , and , If
so , docs it conform to the plans ! "
"Yes , sir. "
"Is the work good , bad or Indifferent ? "
"I consider It n very good Job. "
"Is there any defective work ! "
"Some of the stones have holes In them ,
but no more than you would find in the stone
used In other buildings. "
Taking the estimates which ho had pre
pared , Mr. Coots went into detail , explain
the construction of the walls and roof of
the cell house , and the material used.
l'ut on H I'rcttjlood I'rlcc.
"Mr. Coots , are you familiar with plans ,
and If so , what are these worth ? "
"I should say they were worth $1O.V.1.81 ,
which ] would bo on the scale chargcd-by
architects. "
"What would you say about a superin
tendent ? "
"There should bo one , and his services
would bo worth $1,730. "
"Whatnro the tools worth ? "
"I should say ? SOO. "
"Now , what do you figure to have been the
cost of the building completed , and as it now
stands ? "
'Completed , $19,337.61 ; as it now stands ,
$37.882.51. "
"You may cross-examine , " remarked Mr.
Webster , ns he smiled and sat down.
"If they should put n floor In thecoll house
there would bo no stone left , would there ? "
asked Mr. Uitnbertsou.
"No , sir. "
"You and Mr. UclndorlT figured together1 ?
" \Vo went up to the cell house and took
the same measurements and wo conferred
onlirices. In factwo sat up about the whole
of one night figurine together. "
Detail * of Ills Figures.
"What do you charge for footings ? "
"Twenty cents. "
' I sco that Bciudorff figured CO cents on
this stone ; is ho off ! "
"Ho may be. "
' 'I suppose all the stone that you saw was
that you observed by going into the cxcava
lions ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"You figured this stone on the groundt"
"Yes ' sir. "
"If it'turns out that this stone was bought
for 10 cents ut the quarry and that was the
market price , your iigurcs would have to bo
less ? "
"Yes , if that was true. "
"What would thu south wall cost figured
alone ? "
"Ten thousand four bundled and eighty-
two dollars and thirty-flvo cents. "
"You Ilgurcd the dimension stone at 2.
cents. Now if it turns out that the market
value of that stone was 10 cents , the cost ol
the wall would bo much less ) "

pay for It. "
"How much dimension stone went into
the wall ? "

fillings : thu most of it is Cedar Creek
rubble. "

"You say that rubble costs 25 cents per
cubic foot ; what do you estimate the

Krrurs In the Tabulation * .
While waiting for a witness Mr. Webster
demanded of Judge Donne the tabulated
statements , showing how much coal went
out to the hospital. Judge Don no replied
that hu had not pot through with the state
ments ; that ho had found errors aggregat
ing ! S'JJ.OOO , and that there was a possibility
of finding more.
"Now 1 want the statement showing the
appropriations which camii under the con
trol of the different state boards , " said Mr.
Webster.
Judge Doano said that ho Had examined a
portion of the statement , and that it was
wrong in many respects. .
Ucgurdlng the coal statement Judge Dojno
said that the respondents' attorneys had
omitted from the statement some of the .
amounts of coal that was furnished or al '
leged to have boon furnished to the state.
.
To save time Justice Maxwell remarked
that ho would Instruct the clerk to examine
the liooks and statements and report to the
court.
Value of Expert Kvldonoo ,
The evidence of Architect Coots closed the
expert testimony so far us It pertained to
the cell house and the cost of its construc
tion. What it actually did cost is still
meioly an opinion , as the experts are so
wide apart in their estimates that It is a
dinicult matter to gather a clear conception
of Just what they moan when they llx values.
This expert testimony came from nlno men ,
five for the state and four for the respond
ents. In ordnr that the public may know us
much about the matter a the court , or any
person on earth , their figures on the cell
house us It now stands are given ,

GENERAL GEORGE II , DANDY
War Boooril of tbo Now Ohiof of the
Quartermaster's Department
BRAVE SOLDIER AND FAITHFUL FRIEND
Colonel Cnrlln'n Kltnntlnti to n
( Icnornlihlp Well Unrotveil nt Army
\Vltn < m In n fort
Mlobmrn .Murder Cnse.
General GeorRO B. Dandy , who has re
cently been transferred from the Depart
ment of Texas to take charge of the quartor-
muster's department in Omaha , is n military
man with a long anil honorable record both
lu the flold niul on staff duty. Ho entered
West Point from New Jersey In 1810 and re
mained three years. Ho took part in the
war with Mexico as corporal of the Tenth
United States infantry. Ho was made first
lieutenant in 1801 and assistant < iunrtor >
master In 1802. In 185 ho attained the rank
of major and in 183 * ho had reached the
rank of lieutenant colonel mid was appointed
deputy quartermaster of the army.
Some prominent engagements in which
General Dandy has taken part were the
siege of Fort Wagner , operations in connec
tion with the siege of Charleston , Malvcrn
Hill , slctto of Petersburg and a number of
Important campaigns against the Indians.
General Dandy has been since the war of
the rebellion engaged most of the time In
the duties of a quartermaster at different
posts throughout the country. Ho was
stationed at St. Louis during the winter
of 1805 and 1800 , at Larnmio , Vfyo. ,
lrB 1800 , from which point ho was sent to the
Dig Horn mountains to build Fort Phil Sheri
dan , arriving there just after the Fetterman
massaccr. :
Ho has lllled a number of important posi
tions in connection with the quartermaster's
ofllco ! at Buffalo , Portland , Washington and
Omaha. Ho was chief quartermaster of the
Department of the Platte from ISbU until
1887. ! and slnco that tlmo ho has been
stationed in Washington , D. C. , and at Sun
Antonio , Tex. Ho will bo retired by the ago
regulations ' in February , 1SSM. There are
few men in the army who have more per
sonal ] friends than General Dandy , and his
record is one upon which ho has reason to
look back with gratification.
The general has been somewhat iniUs-
Voscd for a fexv days , and has not | yet
taken charge of the quartermaster's do *
partment hero.
Army Notes.
The appointment of Colonel William P.
Carlln as brigadier general to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Brigauior Gen
eral Carr meets with general tapproval
among the officers about the army headquar
ters. General Carlin has almost reached
the ago of retirement and it is said ho Justly
merits the promotion. Ho has been an active
and highly honorable oflicor. His most
recent service of special note was in connec
tion with the mining strikes in Idaho last
summer. His excellent Judgment and de
cisive action during those troublous times
won him many friends both in ana out of
the army. Brigadier General Curlin will
probably take charge of the Department of
Columbia with headquarters at Vancouver
barracks.
Lieutenant G. M. Williamson of Fort Nio-
braracame ] down yesterday is a witness
in the case of Private Baxter , who is accused
of killing Private West last winter at Fort
