The cases brought ngalnst Bdwanl Hose-
water , editor of Tlio Dec , by ex-Sheriff
licnnott and Ills wife , charging criminal
libel , \vcro called In police court yesterday
aflnrnoon ,
Tlio Information upon which tlio milt
l.i based cite * the open letter to the citizens
of Douglas county , headed ix "Last Word
of Warning , " which was signed by Mr.
IloscWalcr and appeared In The Uco of No
vember ( ! . In substance It reviewed the
conduct of dcorEo A. Hcnnett from the time
ho assumed the duties of his oRlco as sher
iff up to the data upon which the article
was published.
It called attention to the fact that Mr.
Ilcnnctt was neither a competent nor effi
cient law officer ; his onice work was done
by n substitute ; his executive work as
custodian of prisoners had fallen Into the
liamls of negligent and law-defying depu
ties ; Jull deliveries were frequent ; Instances
of Jailer Dennett's Inadvertence were
quoted. The case of Henderson the em
bezzler , who was taken to a gambling
liouso at night by the jailor and allowed
to gratify bin deslro to play faro , without
being closely watched , was enumerated In
the list of accusations.
The Moslier scandal was also referred to.
It stated that the "county jail had not only
been turned into an assignation house , but a
veritable brflthcl In which custodians of pris
oners acted the part of procurers. " The
case of the 13-year-old wlilto girl and the al
leged abortion was cited. Other Instances
which completed the scries of loose methods
In vogue under the Dennett administration
wcro given at length. The writer defended
himself against the vituperative attacks of
Dennett's official organ and replied to the
accusations made by. Bank Wrecker Moshcr.
Other llbelous stories , which doubtless em
anated from Dennett and liUs friends ,
aimed at Mr. Ilosowatcr , wore exposed as
vicious falsehoods.
The contemptuous Indifference with which
Ilcnnctt , as sheriff , treated cases of viola
tions of prison usage which were brought to
bis attention from time to , time also cantu
In for a good scoring.
Assistant County Attorney Day appeared
for the prosecution and was assisted by O.
W. Covell and A. S. Churchill , who bad been
retained by Dennett to help push the cases.
Judge Leo Estello and 13. W. Slmeral ap
peared for the defendant.
The defense announced Its readiness to
proceed In the case In which Dennett was
the complaining witness , but the atato had
jnade up Its mind to try the other first. The
defense was not ready In that case , but It
was finally agreed to try both cases at the
name time , and the defense was to bo given
niich tlmo as was needed to secure necessary
evidence.
TAKING OP TESTIMONY.
George A. Dennett was the first witness
called. Ho testified that he was sheriff of
Douglas county on the Cth of last November
nntl lived In the county Jail , where his wlfo
held the position of matron. IIo was at that
tlmo a candidate for ro-elcctlon. IIo was a
Biibscrlber to The Evening Bee , published at
Seventeenth and Farnam street.s In this city ,
but ceased to bo a subscriber on the date
mentioned. Ho identified a copy of The
Kvonlng Dee of that date and was excused
without cross-examination.
Mrs. Dennett was next called. She testi
fied that as matron of the county Jail she
had charge of the female prisoners , did the
mending and had general charge of things.
She was the only matron and under the
Jailors had full charge of the women. She
was not cross-examined.
N. P. Fell testified that for the past tlireo
years ho had hold the position of business
manager of The Dee. The circulation of
The Evening Uco was under bis supervision !
on the date mentioned It was about 10,000 ,
nearly all of which was In Omaha and South
Omaha , with perhaps 600 or 700 copies sent
to points In western Iowa or In Nebraska
outside of Douglas county. Ho Identified a
copy of The Evening Dee of November C ,
anil testified that the paper was printed by
The Dee Publishing company , of which the
rtefendanfwas president , nnd that the de
fendant was also editor of the paper. Ho
was not cross-examined.
Ocorgo B. Tzschuck testified that ho was
( secretary and treasurer of The Dee Publish
ing company. Ho had nothing particular to
do with the circulation , but know that the
circulation of The Evening Doe during tlio
'early part of last November was about
30,000 , of which several hundred copies wont
outsldo of Douglas county. IIo told where
the paper was published and Identified a
copy of November 0. No auestlons wcro
asked on cross-e.xamlnatlon and the .state
offered the paper In evidence , calling atten
tion to the alleged llbelous article. The
defense objected to Its admission and the
court agreed to hear arguments on that
point at a later tlmo.
Mr. Tzschuck was recalled to testify as to
the defendant's connection with the paper.
IIo know that Mr. Ilosowatcr was editor of
The Dee on the Cth of last November , but
did not know whether the defendant was in
the city at that tlmo or not. IIo testified
that J. B. Haynes was managing editor of
the paper and had charge of It In the
absence of Mr. Ilosowator. When asked
what the relation was between them , he re-
jilled that Mr. Haynes had charge of the
editorial department and that Mr. Hose-
water wrote articles occasionally. Aside
fromcontributing articles ho could not say
whether the defendant had anything to do
with the editorial management or not. The
witness said ho had previously seen articles
tdgncd , as was the ono alleged -to bo llbol-
ous , but ho did not know who wrote them ,
neither did ho know why the slgnaturo was
placed there.
W. A , Mcsslck , official stenographer of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners ,
was called , and testified as to evidence
Klvon by the defendant before the board
December 28 , In the matter of a protest
ngalnst the granting of a liquor license. Ho
said the defendant had testified that ho was
the editor of The Dee , and had been since
the starting of the paper In 1871 ; and that
ho was president of The Dee Publishing
company. The witness could not remember
that Mr , Itosownter had stated how long ho
had boon president of The Bee Publishing
company , and Mr , Tzschuck was again re
called to say that It was since the organiza
tion of the company In 1S7S.
The prosecution announced that It was
'
Willing to rest It's case on the showing made.
ALLEGE NO CASE MADE.
Judge Kstcllo said that If the prosecution
was willing to stand by what It hud said the
case must bo dismissed. This course must
follow , not because It had been proved that
Mr. Uosowater wrote the alleged llbelous ar
ticle ; not because It had been proved that ho
caused Its publication , but because It had not
been proved that tlio article was false and
malicious , which was absolutely necessary
Under the law. Attention was called to the
old law regarding libel , and the amendment
of the law as passed by the legislature In
1SS7 , which Is the law as It stands today. It
was cited that under the old law the libel
must bo false "or" malicious , but now It
must bo false "and" malicious. The defense
had not proved that this article was either.
It was not a contention as to whether the
article was llbelous or not , but whether cr
not It was false. This wqa for the prosecu
tion to show. There must bo falsity and
malice to make out a case of libel under the
utatutc. Tlscro was not the slightest pre
sumption of falsity ( hero could bo no sucli
presumption for every presumption must beef
of Innocence.
Air. Day Insisted tlmt when an article
uliowcd Itself llbeloua on Its face per se , the
Imrdon of proof rested ou the'.defendant.
.Mr , Slineral nald that when an article
was llboloua pr ee the law presumed dam-
BRB , and It was for the Jury to flx the
amount of the damage , but In a criminal
Vrosecullon llu-re could bu no presumption
of guilt. It would not do to establish an ;
such precedent an to presume this defcndan
guilty merely because thin suit had been
brought. The witnesses for the prosecu
tlon had It In their mouths , minds am
hcarttt to B\venr to the falsity of the asser
tions made In the article In intention If they
had so desired , but Instead of doing tlmt they
merely swore to their having been candi
dates or to the positions they held. Had they
done this they would have put the d&fcndanl
ori'tlic defense , but up to this tlmo they -had
certainly no ( done so.
Kstcllo again Insisted that no case had
been made out , and called attention to the
change In the law that makes criminal libel
now a felony Instead of a minor crime. The
state hail rccognlzciT that law In seeking to
make out the paper to bo ono of wide circula
tion , and now wanted the court to presume
the two essential elements necessary to make
out the crime charged. It might bo possible
for a Jury to presume malice from the acts
of the defendant dr from facts before them ,
but the law did not presume
mallco , and no ono could pre
sume the falsity of the article.
The state would probably admit that sonic of
the matters net forth In the article wcro
true , but they denied none of them , and
It would bo Impossible for the defense to
know what It was expected to meet.
Mr. Day said that tflerc were two justifica
tions for an article Its truth and n good
motive In Its publication and It was for
the defendant to so Justify the publication of
this article.
The court advised that Inasmuch ns each
side was positive that It was right It would
bo well for each to submit authorities on
the positions taken , and fixed the time at
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

The council did not coincide with the
views of the board of park commissioners
with reference to having the city engineer
do the engineering work for the board , but
concluded that It might bo done In that way
t the board would turn the pay for such
services Into the general fund. The board
expected to bo able to pave the expense of

ence no relief In the way of keeping inonoy

A HlrnMiflCombination. .
Slnco returning- from the cast , Mr. D. II.
Stearns has perfected the strongest com *
blnatlon ever organized In the northwest for
the purpose of colonizing Oregon nnd Wash
ington lands.
No man In the country Is more familiar
with Its possibilities and resources than Mr.
Stearns , and none have had more actual
experience In Its settlement hitherto nnd
there Is no ono : trailer able to become Its
exponent In competition with other regions
which are seeking additions to their popu
lation.
The pcoplo and the press of the state can
universally approve- and commend the un
dertaking In orery way.
It was announced In the Orcgonlan sev
eral days ago that the capital of the Stearns
Fruit Land company had been Increased to
$250,000 , With this Increase of capital ban
como a clmngo In the directorate and the
personnel of the management.
The new directors arc ! A. E. S. Stearns ,
F. K. Arnold , George E. Caukln , II. C , Wort-
man and K. S. Illakeslce , the latter repre
senting eastern capital. F. K. Arnold suc
ceeds Mr. Stearns as president of the company
nnd the latter goes east as superintendent
of agencies and organizer of colonies on
plans perfected by himself , the result of
years of study and practice.
Mr. Arnold Is too well known In connection
with the wholesale drug trade as a member
of the firms Hedge , Davis & Co. , nnd Snell ,
Heltfthu & Woodard Co. , and as the former
secretary of the Portland Hoard of Trade
nnd other public positions , to need encomiums
from the Orcgonlan. It Is sufficient to say
that he cuts loose from all other business
connections anil takes active management
of this company's affairs to know that It
will bo conducted on business principles and In
a manner to glvo the most satisfactory re
sults to Its stockholders and clients.
Mr. O. E. Caukln , vice president , Is known
all over the northwest as district manager
of the Life and Accident Insurance company
of Hartford , n prominent Grand Army man
( formerly commander of the Department of
Oregon ) , and Is honored and respected by
everybody who knows him.
Mr. II. C. Wortman , for several years as
sistant cashier of the Commercial National
bank nnd now secretary nnd treasurer of the
great dry goods house of Olds & King , Is
treasurer and needs nothing further said.
Mr. E. S. Dlakcslcc , the secretary , Is the
Olllv ofllpnr who linn In hn Intrnrliinnil linrn
He comes from Topeka , Kan. , where ho has
held for thirteen years a responsible posi
tion In the supply department of the Atchl-
son , Topeka & Santa Fe railroad.
Mr. John II. Hill , formerly of San Mateo
county , California , an experienced fruit man ,
takes charge of the tree planting and culti
vation department , completing , as said at the
ntart , the strongest and most perfect com
bination ever got together In this countrv
for effective work. They have taken the
room , No. 275 Stark street , In the Fourth and
Stark street corner of the Chamber of Com
merce building , for an ofilce , where they will
be happy to HOC their friends and us many
others as deslro to do business with them.
The company will do n general commis
sion business In farm and fruit lands , but Its
sVeclalty will be the preparation of homos In
this country In advance of their coming for
the people who deslro to como hero tolive. .

In ! ; that the jvlli ; was not the last will of
James Sweeney , as dt thp-'tlmo It "was ex
ecuted Sweeney had not'suinclont mental
capacity to make and publish a will , and
that even If executed by Sweeney , the will
was obtained' by undue nnd Improper In
fluence.
Rev. James Sweeney was always religious ,
and. It Is said , always made a better hand
at the prayer meeting than in tlio cornfield.
In IS 15 ho was owned by a man named
Arthur , who lived In Doono county. A
young colored _ lrl owned by Arthur 'fell In
love with the young preacher , and they
were married. Henry Galloway , it Is
claimed , was the only fruit of this union.
In 1820 , when Culloway was only 3 years
old , "tho prpachcr , " was sold to another
planter , and the slave's family was sep
arated. Sweeney was taken to some of tlio
northern counties and finally became the
"property" of John W. Collins of Clay
county. Among the other "chattels" belong
ing to Mr. Collins was Johanna , the present
defendant of the will , then a stout and ro
bust negro maiden. In Johanmi'H presence
"the parson1' ' forgot all about his 'former
and boy , and finally married her ,
After obtaining their freedom they moved
to Kansas City and In a few years saved
some money nnd put it In property. Mean
while the city grew , the boom came , and
before the Sweaneys know It they were
rich. The advance In the price of real es
tate had done It.
Rev. James Sweeney heard nothing from
his son by the former marrlago until In
1SS7 , when ho visited him , after a separation
of thirty-six years. Aunt Johanna regarded
Henry with suspicion , but the old man
owned him as his son. Henry's stay was
not prolonged , as his stepmother , It Is said ,
made It rather unpleasant for him. Henry
called on his father once or twice afterward.
Shortly before the old man died ho exe
cuted a new will. Under Its provisions all
his property was left to 'Aunt Johanna.
Henry Galloway was mentioned in tlio will
as "a son by a former marrlago" and then
cut off with $5. It Is this will which Cal-
loway now seeks to break , claiming that his
"stepmother" exerted undue Influence over
his father.
