United SlatM for the Wghth district hnvo
nuthorlml Judge Thtjrston , solloitor of the
Union 1'acUlo , to place on lllo 'tho following
order , which nfter reciting the caption of
the case proceeds :
"In the mutter of the petition for rohcnr-
Ing before the circuit judges of the applica
tion of the receivers for authority to plnco
In effect reduced vvniroschedules
"Slnco the notion of the courts In the dif
ferent districts In this circuit on the petition
filed by the rce.clveis for leave to lovoko the
schedule of wages of the cmploics In force
when they vveto appolnud and to adopt n ,
now and reduced scale has not been uniform
ami harmonious , and slnco It Is desirable
and necessary that any outer made on sild
petition should have n uniform operation
upon the line of slid road ttuoughout the
circuit , and since to that end the orders
hcrotou o mailo on said petition have been
revoked , on motion of salt ! receivers , It is
now nero ordered as follows.
"First That the petition of the receivers
for Icnvo to not nsldo and annul the scale of
wages of the employes on said roatl In force
when they were appointed anil to ao'opt anew
now scale inducing the wages of the em
ployes be set down for hearing before the
circuit judges at Omaha , Neb. , on the 20th
tiny of Muu'h. 1&91
"Second ' 1 hat the receivers cause n copy
of this order to bo served on the proper rep
resentatives of the employes on suit ! road at
least twenty il ivs before the day llxcd for
the hearing of the petition
"Third That the roccivois grant to such
of the representatives of the omploves as
nro in the service of the receivers leave of
absence to attend the hcannc on said peti
tion and furnish thorn transportation to the
plnco of hearing and return.
"Fourth On the day appointed for the
hearing ( and at an earlier day if practi
cable ; the receivers or some person or
persons designated by them for that pur
pose , shall enter Into confeicnco with the
representatives of the employes or vvitn
suoh person or persons as they may desig
nate for that purpose , and the parties shall
confer together from day to day until they
Bhall agree upon n scale of wages to bo sub
mitted for the apptovnl of the com t.
"Fifth Should the iccoivers ml the em
ployes ho unable to agree upon n scnlo the
point or points of difference shall be referred
to the circuit judges holding the court , and
after hearing the parties and their witnesses
uncl counsel the circuit Judges will make such
order In the promises ns seems to them right
and just.
"bixth The receivers and the representa
tives of the employes may 'moot to confer
about and agree upon now schedules of
wnges at an caillor day than that set for the
hearing under this order and the judges
recommend that course to the end that the
" entire matter bo ic.idy for the action of the
court on Match 20 , Ib'JO "
KCVinW OP THE GULP CASE.
" It.ls lather significant , or at least It is so
regarded in Union Pacllio ciiclcs , that the
circuit Judges in their formal order should
fall to provide for the subsistence of the
employes while meeting the receivers of the
Union Pacific upon vvago matters with a
view of reconciling tlllTcrcnccB that now
exist. Iheio is no mention whatever In the
order which Judges Caldvvell and Sanborn
direct to bo made when Judco Dundy's
order is revoked about providing for the
entertainment of tlio men while In confrr-
cnco"tho receivers only being directed to
furnish transportation to anclfiom the place
of confctuncc.
In the Gulf matter the Union Pacific has
scored a most substantial victory , the
order of Judges Caldwell and Sanborn In
that case citing the receiver to appear before
fore the court , sitting at Omaha Aimch 20 ,
when the matters in contioversy will betaken
taken up on their merits. The order in this
case Isshort but very direct , anil will tie
filed Monday moinlng in Nebiaska , Wjom-
Jnc and Colorado.
Judge Thurston filed a petition In each of
these states , very-voluminous in chaiaeter ,
citing the disparity of the orders made in
the Gulf case nml asking for u review uv the
circuit court , which Caldvvell and Sanborn
now direct.
General Solicitor Thurston leaves this
1 evening for New York and will moot the re
ceivers of the Union Pacific Wednesday
upon matters connected with the Union Pa-
clflc. Should the receivers deculo to ask
Judge Dundy to revoke the vvnco oiiler. In
view of the suggestions made bv Judge
Caldvvcll , the order nbovo will probably bo-
comoof iccoril next Thutsday and immedi
ately after the organizations will bo asked
10 send icpiescutatives to Omnhu to confer
with the receivers as to a new sunodule.

ern gentleman Is In his glory hero , and It
ho thinks you have any doubts about the
matter ho will assume a commanding nt-
tltudo and tell you all about It.
The native Texan Is not so particular , na
hlu chief ambition Is to bo a cow puncher.
IIo may retire from the cattle traffic and go
Into buslneii or politics , but he will never
give up being a cow boy. 13von If ho goes
to the legislature or to congrcits , he will
toll joii not about the bills ho has Intro
duced , nor the number of terms ho has
served , but with prldo will loll you of Iho
early years when ho rode on Iho rango.

In great numbers. They are the joungcr

They como over hero with the Impression
that with their superior education they will
readily find n soft birth padded with Ameri
can dollars. They are Invariably disap
pointed , as they find lhat the Tettns have
a marvelous faculty of taking care of them
selves , and also that every Ungllshman can
not become a bank cashier , so HOIIIO are
content with the humble lot of restaurant
cashier , while others , buy ranches
'THI : COLOIUD CONTINGENT.
The negroes , nro the olhcr Important ele
ment In Texas HOC ety. They nro , moro
properly speaking , out of Texas sorletj , for
they have no rights which the whlto man
respects On the railroad ho Is exiled to a
second class coach even though ho holds a
first class ticket. In the theater ho Is per
mitted only In.the top galleiy If ho were a
millionaire they would not sell him a box era
a scat In the parquet. As for hotels and
restaurants , ho would starve before they
would open their doors lo him.
A Texan , speaking of his exporlence al the
World's fair , said that ho entered ono of'lhe
largo restaurants In the Windy City , and
upon taking his scat discovered that a
"nigger" was eating In the sarno room. Ho
immediately callel the propr otor and gave
him a P'CCLof his mind and told him that ho
was a southern gentleman. This ho consid
ered ns a very bright remark , and told 11
with great pride.
AFFAIRS OF HONOR
are as numerous In Texas now as they ever
were. In the little town of Kocrvlllo nine
men have boon killed sines last spring , and
only one of the murderers has been con
victed. There are bovcial men in the state
who carry a dozen or more scalps , and jet
tread this glorious land as free as the most
Innocent of us. The writer had the gooJ
fortune to sne ono of these shooting scrapes ,
called a difficulty by the participant * ) It
seems that a young cotton buyer had some
financial Iroubles with a planter who has a
very bad reputation , having Iclllod a man
hero tv.o > ears ago , and Is said to have
killed two others elsewhere The planter
came to town , and of course got drunk. Dur
ing his carousal the other man stopped Into
the saloon , and these old enemies Immedi
ately had a quarrel , In which some pretty
angry words were used. At Hst , as the
cotton bujer was leaving the saloon , the
drunken planter reached down to his boot
and pulled out a six-shooter. However , as
he did so , thu pistol wont off and shot him
In the leg Ho was able , however , to raise
his gun and shoot twice at his ensmy. The
cotton buyer exhibited no surprise , nor did
ho pull his sun , but stood perfectly still ,
folded his arms and invited the planler to
continue
But the crowd thought It was time to stop
and took Ihe weapon away from the drunken
man ; some one remarked It was not safe
for n drunken fellow to shoot In a crowd.
TEXAN SOCIETY
Is a generous mixture of all nationalities ,
but many of the white Inhabitants como from
the other southern states and with them
comes the general shlftlessness of the
southerner. In this same tropical climate ,
where with Irrigation nearly every kind of
known plant will grow , ono finds but little
lo relieve Us arid perspective. Where the
exception of this rule Is lo bo found ono can
safely tay It Is Ihrough Iho Influence of the
northerner. In dilvlng through the city ot
San Antonio you can readily tell the houses
of the northerners by the beautiful grounds
which surround thorn.
In the smaller towns nothing Is altemplcd
In Iho way of lawn decoration They think
that they do well If they keep the front gale
closed ngainsl Ihe stray "crltler. " As for
society Iho wrller can only say ho has not
been In Texas long enough to find It. As
for protenslons there Is no state In the
union so pretentious. No town Is too small
to have its "smart set. " Money , of course ,
has a pressure , but to belong to one of Iho
old families Is Infinitely preferable. There
Is no place In the vvorld vvhcro the million
aire Is of BO lltllo Importance. If ono can
not Iraco his ancestry back to Henry VIII.
ho had boiler emlgialo , for Texan socloly
will never recognize.
1 > OOU WHITE TRASH.
Another very Important class Is known as
the poor whlto trash , and Iheso form Iho
vast majority of the population. Of course ,
no ono belongs to Ihls element It Is always
the other fellow , his neighbor across the
street. Yet every Texan fears that ho Is
thus classed , so absuics > ou thai he Is a
gentleman.
The signs by which ono may recognize Ihls
class are similar lo Ihoso used by Stanley
In describing the natives of Africa. Of
course , they have not black skins , but no
ono would over linow this , judging from their
appearance.
A practicing physician told mo that ho
called on a woman of this class and after
proscribing some medicine for her suggested
that Bho should take n bath. "Oh Lord , "
she said , "you can't 'sped mo to do dat.
Doc. , 'causo I ain't took no bath slnco I
was bo'n , " And the doctor believed. Re
member , my dear readers , I do not siy thai
all Texans are llko this , for I personally
know ono who took a bath

Tlio Hennotl-Kosowatcr criminal libel case
\vns called again In police court jcslerday
iiftcrnnon and Judge Bcrka passed on tlio mo
tion of the defense to dismiss. IIo overruled
tlio motion , holding tlmt after examining tlio
authorities on that point lie was constrained
to believe that falsity ami mallco were to bo
presumed from the mere publication of a
defamatory article , and It would therefore
remain for the defense to show Its justifica
tion for the publication.
The defense announced that It was ready
to proceed at once , and tlio defendant , Edward -
ward Rosewater , was called to the witness
stand
Ho tostldcd that ho was and Is the editor
of The IJeo , and had been since It waa started
Juno ID , 1871. IIo occupied that position
the Gtli of last November. Ho had known
the complaining witness , George A. Dennett ,
slnco shortly after the latter was nominated
for sheriff In 1801. Witness then had con
trol of the editorial management of The
Doc , and supported Dennett through the
columns of the paper and did what ho could
to have htm elected. Ho said
ho was the author of the
alleged llbelous article , and wrota It him
self. Regarding the charge of Incompctcncy ,
ho Buld ho first learned of that soon after
Dennett assumed charge of the office. It waste
to be supposed that It would take him some
time to learn the ropes of the ofllce , but he
kept William Coburn , on ex-sheriff of the
county , there month after month and dis
closed his own Inability to do the work
Jail deliveries were reported at the editorial
rooms of The Dee by the reporters of that
paper , and were printed from tlmo to time
as they occurred , as was also the story of
the unwarranted release of a prisoner by
the Jailer , who was a brother of the sheriff
Notwithstanding these publications , the
then sheriff did not call to offer any ex-
p'anatlon or tot him o f right Leforo Iho com
munity , although the columns of the paper
were open for that purpose , as was always
tlio case with any Indlvlduil who might ftcl
that bo had been misrepresented or done an
Injustice.
GAMDLINO HOUSn AFFAIR.
As to the charge that a prisoner named
Henderson was taken to a gambling house
by the jailer and left there for a while with
out a guard whllo the jailer went away , al
though subsequently the latter returned
and removed the prisoner again to
the county Jail , the witness said
that this Information was brought
to him by iparty who said ho
was at the gambling house and saw the oc
currence , and who claimed to know both
Henderson and Jailer Dennett. The
charges as to the relations of male prisoners
with dissolute vvompn , both Insldo and out
side the Jail , referred principally to Mosher.
Many of these matters had been called to
the attention of the public In printed articles
long before the publication of the letter in
question , and the -jvltness had also warned
the republicans tli.it Dennett was not such
a man as could , have the support of law-
abiding citizens , and that the party would
make a blunder If It nominated him.
Stories of the sheriff's actions were being
continually brought to the attention of the
witness and the drlalls of some of them
L
were unfit for publication , and the same
was true with reference , to Mosher. Deforo
the latter was taken to. the county jail and
whllo ho was still In the , custody of the mar
shal ho called at the residence of the witness
to request that nothing more bo said In the
paper concerning him on account of his fam
ily until ho was sentenced. The witness
frequently heard that Moshor was enjoying
the freedom of the city , and one gentleman ,
whoso \craclty the witness had no rea
son ( o question , had told him that
Moshor was making visits to assignation
houses , and was maintaining a llason with
one Nclllo Sayor , who was then stopping at
the M' * ' ml hotel. It was also stated that
she Dialled Moshor In jail , as a pretended
relative , and remained there with him at
night , and that ho was allowed to leave the
jail to go and see her elsewhere. It was
also stated to the witness that other prosti
tutes were allowed to enter the jail for the
purpose of visiting prisoners confined there.
A great deal of pains had been taken to
verify these reports that reached the office -
fico In such numbers , and one man was
found who stated that ho had himself gene
with Mosher to a roadhouse whllo the lat
ter was a prisoner. Others told of seeing
Mosher at the theater and elsewhere , the
elsewhere being generally the vicinity of
lower Douglas street.
DDVIM1ENT AT TUB JAIL.
As to the charge- that the jail had been
changed into a brothel and that an abortion
was procured there with the knowledge of
the matron , the witness said that a party
told him of having requested to bo allowed
to go to the jail to have Intercourse with a
prisoner. This was the colored man who
was said to have been mixed up In the
abortion case , and the witness flatly accused
him of It , and the fellow did not deny. It.
Ho seemed to bo paraljvod by the accusa
tion and would neither alllrm or deny the
charge.
Tlio witness said ho never saw Mrs. Den
nett to his knowledge until she appeared on
the witness stand In this case , neither had
ho over heard anything of her reputation
until after Dennett was elected. One report
Implicating her came from a former om-
plojo of the jail , who represented that an
abortion had been procured there , and that
Mrs. Dennett know of It. This Informant
also gave the name of a prisoner who was
said to have full knowledge of the case.
The parties who furnished this Information
had no reason to Ho about It , and , further
more , the colored man Implicated had not
denied It when the charge was made.
Regarding the charge that Dennett had
employed for his defense against the ac-
cusatlons a leprous sheet and a couple of
convicted criminals , tlio witness said ho
was given to understand that Dennett had
paid a party to print and circulate charges
against him. This was common report , and
Mr. Coburn , who was employed to oversea
the business of the sheriff's ofllco , told him
that ho ( Coburn ) , .had told Dennett that ho
was making a mistake in following out this
course In fiettlne this sheet to at
tack the witness. Numbers of these papers
had been taken fd the ofilco of the sheriff
and circulated from there and through
the court houso. , The charge that these
defenders of liennp'tt were two criminals
whom Dennett had , harbored referred to
Keen and Mosher. , and the unconscionable
thief referred levjt * as Mosher. Nearly
all the matters covered by these charges
had been printed Jr ? ' " two to six months
before the publication of this letter , and the
substance of the scandal Implicating Mosher ,
the Bayer woman.and , the sheriff and hla
deputies was prlntea In the World-HeralJ
In October , boforq''lho ' Dee had published It.
Uonnett had thus"1 had ample tlmo to In-
restlgato these maurs and vindicate him-
naif had ho so desjrx .
SOMC CHARGES ANSWERED.
The witness Bald ho did not see Dennett
during the campaign , but the paper that
was defending Dennett charged that the witness -
ness had sought to levy blackmail on him
ind secure business from the sheriff's olllco ,
when as a matter of fact the witness had
never In his life asked a favor of Dennett
It had also been charged that the witness
bad been promised money by John McShane
and John A. Crolghton In the event that he
secured the defeat of Donnott. Ho denied
that ho had ever talked with McShane about
the matter , and only once with Crolghton.
when ho met the latter on the street , and
It was then referred to only In the most
casual way. The wltnesn denied that
ao had ever received a cent for
tlshtlng Dennett , and asserted that ha
could not have been bought to
atop the flKht , as ho believed that It was hla
duty to the public to carry It on and force
It to a finish , and ho was determined to lion ,
estly discharge that duty. It had also been
charged that ho was making this fight on
Dennett bccaufta the Utter vvns n. member
of the American Protective association , hen-
nett had called on him shortly after receiv
ing the nomination the first tlmo , and the
witness had then asked him whether or not
ho was an A. 1' . A. Dennett replied that
ho was and didn't care who know It ,
and the witness then told
him that ho thought more of
him ( Dennett ) because of his open avowal
than ho did of some of the other 'nominees ,
as ho had reason to bcllovo that some of
them had Hod regarding their membership
In tlmt organisation. The wltncsa said ho
was favorably Impressed with the appear
ance of Dennett , who seemed to bo an hon
est , hard working mechanic , and ho had
supported him , as ho had also supported the
other members of the ticket who were A
P. A.'g. Ho had not supported Eller for
office as he had good and sufficient reasons
for declining to say much In that candidate's
behalf.
The witness said that ho had never en
tertained any personal Ill-will toward Den
nett or his wife , and the letter had boon
published because ho believed It to bo his
duty to warn the voters of the county
against placing the sheriff's olllro In the
hands of a man who was untrustworthy and
who was violating Instead of enforcing the
law. Ho had exercised all the diligence
that It was possible for any editor to use
In verlfilng the reports concerning Dennett
that came to his notice Some of the re
ports wore brought to him by the reporters
employed In the office and others by per
sons entirely outside , and all of them were
heard long before the publication of this
letter.
As to threats of violence having been made
against him , the witness said he hail been
warned several times that parties wore
lying In wall for him and would do him up ,
but ho had taken no special precautions on
this account , as such things were liable to
happen at any time , and It was Impossible
for an Individual to bo bomb-proof. So far
as the charges m.ido were concerned , ho had
believed them when they were made , and he
still believed tint they were trtio
ON CROSS-EXAMINATION
This concluded the direct examination ,
and the witness was taken In hind for cross ,
examination by the county attorney , whoso
questions brought out this testimony.
U had been charged by the Klgiro that
this fight that was being waged by the wItness -
ness against Dennett was Inspired by re
sentment because not enough business was
secured from the sheriff's otllce. The wit
ness did not know how much business The
Dee had received from there , but ho did
know that ho had never asked for any , and
If there had been any such request or talk
It was not at his Instance. . The fact waa
that after Dennett had been In ofllco for
some time , people began to complain
that he did not fill the
bill ; then came the report that Dennett had
been a sport and a prize fighter , and that
ho had once fought a prize fight near Omaha
These reports wont to show that Dennett
had been associated with a disreputable
class Prize fighting seemed to be a rather
queer education for law officers , and the
consensus of the Information received tended
to degrade Dennett In the estimation of the
witness. Some of this Information the wit
ness had received from Mr. Coburn and some
from Joe Miller , the present county Jailer.
Coburn's continued presence In the sheriff's
ofilco was regarded as ev Idence that the
sheriff couldn't get along without him , al
though a man's continued emplojmont was
not to bo always so regarded. This was n
conclusion In this case that the witness
reached by Inference.
The Information regarding the release of a
prisoner from the county Jail by the jailer ,
who was a brother of the sheriff , the wit
ness received from Mr. Hunter , the city
editor of The Dee , who learned from the
police court that the man was released with
out an order from the Judge or mayor. It
was because of this and similar stories that
the witness became convinced that the Jail
was not properly conducted. The fact that
there were jail deliveries was not to bo re
garded as a positive proof of Incompetency ,
but when they became so frequent and es
pecially with such a good jail It did mean
something.
The witness did not send for Dennett and
advise him what he had heard about the
Jailer taking Henderson to the Diamond ,
as he thought it was the duty of Dennett to
come to him if ho wanted to explain. Just as
It was the duty of any officer charged with
dereliction to see that his explanation or
justification was presented to the public If
charges against him had been made through
the press. Jailer Miller had told the wit
ness the Henderson story , and the witness
had had reporters sent to sea Henderson to
have the story confirmed or denied , but
Henderson would neither afilrm or deny It ,
as he was unwilling to talk about the matter.
PRIVILEGES ALLOWED MOSHER.
The witness admitted that ho had sought
to convoy the Impression that Moshor's
derelictions whllo In the county Jail wore
due to Dennett , and said that ho still main
tained that such was the case , as the sheriff
was responsible for the conduct of his
prisoners. It was currently reported that
Mosher was allowed the freedom of the
Jail , ostensibly acting as bookkeeper , and
went out fiequently with or without the
jailer to get drinks at saloons In the neigh
borhood ; that disreputable women visited
him and ho wont out of the jail to visit
assignation houses , either with or without a
guard ; that Nellie Sajer was the name of the
woman specially mentioned as being kept by
Moshor and reported as viblUnir the jail at
night In a cab to see him. Doth H. N.
McGrow , of the Mercury , and John Moynllmn
had furnished Information of this kind , and
Coburn had said that Mosher was taken by
Dennett to act as guard to assist In taking
an Insane man to the hospital ; that the
prisoner had recognized Moshor as a follow
prisoner and cursed him. stating that whllo
ho was wiling to bo under the guard of tin
honest man ho would not submit to
being guarded by a man who had
robbed the widows and orphans of their
all and stolen hundreds of thousands of
dollars from the state ; It was stated that
qulto a bcono was created , much to the em
barrassment of Dennett , w ho had told the
Rtory himself on getting back to his office.
The same story had been told by a colored
jailer then employed by Dennett. All these
reports went to show the existence of a
very bad state of affairs In connection with
the management of the county jail. The
general nature of nearly all the charges
touched upon In this letter had been previ
ously published , but some of the details had
been withheld , as the witness said that ho
did not want to go too much Into the
Hastiness of the situation In print.
LILAS PAGE'S CASE.
The witness further testified that the abor
tion case In connection with a white girl
In the jail had to do with the colored man ,
Jesse Newman , who was questioned by the
witness concerning the occurrence , U had
been reported that Dennett was ono of tlio
parties who assisted in breaking Into the
jail In October , 181)1 ) , for the purpose of
lynching the negro ravlalicr , Smith , and
that his knowledge as a blacksmith was ex
ercised In superintending the cutting of the
iron and steel bars. There had bocon some
feeling against Dennett on this account , and
the witness said ho asked Newman on this
occasion how It happened that this sentiment
tiad changed , and then charged Erectly to his
face that it was because of the relations
that Newman hud been allowed to maintain
with this girl after she had been taken to
jail. This accusation was not denied by
Newman. Nat Drown was present on this
occasion and heard what was said. It had
been brought to the attention of the witness
that Newman was Intimate with the girl
before she was sent to jail , and that this
Intimacy was kept up whllo she was there.
The witness mild ho heard the same story
from reporters of The Doe , who had ro
celved their Information from Mrs Cum-
minus , the matron at the police station.
Whllo this was a serious matter , coming
as It did on top of all the other
charges and a direct accusation of
one of the alleged Implicated parties
timing elicited no denial , the witness had
thought there must bo some foundation for
It. Further than this , U was corroborative
of a statement made to the witness months
Deforo by Miller , who said that Ed Keen
: iad told him that an abortion hud been pro
cured on one of the female prisoners In the
lull with the advice of the matron , ami this
later story of an abortion having been pro
cured led the witness to credit It. The
witness Bald ho understood the nutne of the
white girl who was operated on In the jail
was LI las Page.
When asked why ho attributed to Dennett
some connection with the rigaro and respon
sibility for article * published In that sheet ,
the witness said ho had been charged with
jelng Insane , and Bennett's Interest In It
waa manifested by kin assistance In circula
ting thn libel , and furthermore , County
Treasurer Iroy had Informed him tlmt Den-
nott Induced the republican central com
mittee to pay $2,000 for n lot of those papers
to bo spread around In his behalf , In uplto
of the protest of some of the other candi
dates.
I1AKER INVESTIGATION A KAUCE.
The World-Herald had published the
Mosher scnndal before It was printed by The
Dec , and had then printed District Attor
ney Dakcr's whitewashing report of an al
leged Investigation , and $160 had been paid
for 3,000 extra copies of the Issue containing
the report , as had been testified to by
Editor Hitchcock before the police commis
sion
That vvhltcvvish report was not printed ,
however , until after this letter The wit
ness said the Daker Investigation was a
farce Dakcr had como to him and mild
ho ( Dakcr ) had Instructions from the do-
pnrtmont at Washington to look Into the
matter , and had asked for the names of
the witness' Informants , which wore given.
Daker , however , did not talk to the right
people , and the statements that ho had se
cured did not ngroo with those made to the
witness Dakor had mid ho didn't think
there was much to the Moslu > r matter , but
the witness didn't lay any stress on that
Investigation , as ho regarded It from the
outset as a humbug and a fraud. Dennott
hud circulated scores of papers out of his
ofllce making attacks on the witness , and
did , therefore , porpotiatu the assaults
charged.
The witness said that George D Strjkcr
was ono of the parties who had told him that
Dennett would do him up , and Eovoral parties
had warned him that he would be assassin
ated Such warnings had como from Prank
Kaspar and G W Llnlnger Kaspir had
said that ho had definite knowledge In this
particular , and had warned the witness to
arm himself.
The witness was excused from the stand ,
and Police Scrgeint Whaleii was called to
tostlfy regarding the conviction of the man
Loonar , for carrying concealed weapons , and
his subsequent release by Jailer Dennett
without the authority of an order from the
mayor or police Judge.
CITY EDITOH'S TESTIMONY.
W II Hunter , city editor of The Dee , was
the lust witness called In the afternoon IIo
said his duties were to have charge of the
city work on the paper and direct the work
of the reporters. Ho Know that The Dee
had supported Dennett In his first campaign
and had been friendly with him up to omo-
Ihlng llko n jcar ago , when reports began
to como In regarding the conduct of the ofilco
and the management of the county jail. Noth
ing had been printed until verified , and the
columns of the paper were open for denial
or reasonable roll action , as had always
been the case It had been a matter of
general knowledge In The Dee ofilco that the
work of the sheriff's ofllco was done by a
substitute ; that a prisoner had been released
from jail before his tlmo was up without
authority , and that jail deliveries were
frequently occurring through the modlum of
coal holes and otherwise The Information
regarding the Moshor scandal had been re
ceived from several parties , among whom
were Mojnlhan , JlcGrow and cmplojus nt
the Midland hotel , while several affidavits
had been secured from parties who had
knowledge of the matters charged. Mojnl-
han had said that he had taken
Mosher from jail without a guard and
gene to Council Bluffs to a
rondhnuso , where they spent the night , that
ho had also gene with Moshcr to the theater ,
and had made assignations for him to spun 1
the night with women. One place where
Moshor was said to have made a visit waste
to an assignation house at Twentieth and
Paul streets , and a chambermaid , named
Schnchlerwlnd , at the Midland hotel , had
told of seeing Mosher and the Sajer woman
In bed together at that place. Other em
ployes of the hotel had told of
frequent telephone calls for the Sa > er
woman. These calls were from telephone
189 , which was the county jail Cabs
had called on her very often , and taken her
to Jail. These Were a few of the stories that
were currently rehearsed on the streets In
connection with Mosher while ho was sup
posed to bo an liunite of the county Jail
The stories of abortion and night visits to
the jail had been Investigated at the ex
pense of a great deal of tlmo by members of
the reportorlal staff and by outsiders whoso
services were also secured.
On cross-examination thewltnoss told of
the reports of threats against the person and
life of Mr. Rosewater and said that on at
least two occasions police officers had been
sent to The Dee building to guard against
any such attempt. These stories were cur
rent on the street and the witness hid been
repeatedly met with Inquiries as to
threatened assault and assassination. Hn
testified as to the statements made to him
by conductors on the Ilanscom park line ,
who had told him of hauling the prisoner
Henderson and Jailer Dennett or Jailer
Ernest out to Park avenue , when the officers
were taking the prisoner out to see his wife
The witness als.o testified concerning affi
davits touching matters affecting the sheriff
and lil-s conduct of his office , and mentioned
the names of parties who had talked with
lilm of the danger of assault or had made
inquiries concerning It.
The hearing continued until after 5 o'clock ,
and the case was then continued until Mon
day afternoon at 2 30 o'clock.
