THE BENNETT LIBEL CASE
Mrs , lugall'.a ' Tcatirrony ns to Mcsher'a
Visits to Ncllio Saycr ,
DR , KING CALLED AND MAKES DENIALS
Argument of the Cimo HCRUM by .Mr. lny )
for the Htnto rnlloufil by Mr. Slinciul
for tli npfonno Klimiir
to Conic
John C. Kcmmcrllng , the last witness
that the defense desires to call In the Ben-
nett-Rosowater libel case , was not present In
police court yesterday afternoon , and the
arguments were begun by counsel , with the
understanding that this testimony would bo
admitted an BOOM ns Kemmorllng'a presence
could be had > *
Mrs. Ingalls was recalled to the stand by
the defense , and testified that the young
man who came to her house with Albert
Bennett and was Introduced as his cousin
wa not the man who came there frequently
to nee Ncllio Sayer , and who was known to
her now as Moshcr. She further testified that
ex-Deputy Jailer Hornu catno to her houiio
at least three times , and came there once
to have n conversation with the Saycrwoman. .
The witness overheard a part of the conver
sation , and hoard Homo tell Miss Saycr
that Hho must leave the city. After the
close of the conversation Miss Sayer told
the witness that Home had told her that
she "had got to get out of town. "
Dr. King was recalled by the defense and
testified that ho never attended a case In the
county Jail where ho was required to stop a
utcrlno flow of blood.
Attorney Day made the opening argument
for the state and talked an hour and u half.
He dissected the llbelous letter , calling at
tention to the parts that were llbelous per
so , and what might come under the head of
n privileged communication. Referring to
the paragraph relating to Keen , Day said he
wan not defending that convicted llbulcr.
Ho called attention to an article printed In
Figaro , reflecting upon Judge Berka for liU
conduct In this case , and said It went to
ahow that the papers In this city were arro
gating to themselves rights that did not
belong to them. lie thought the court should
have summarily visited punishment on that
paper for printing that article.
IMPORT OF Tim CHARGE.
After referring to the paragraph In The
Bee , In which it was said that George A.
Dennett could not excuse himself by the
pica that the acts complained of were the
acts of his deputies in ofllcc , Mr. Day said :
"But It does not stop here ; ho charges
against George A. Bennett not only that ho
know these things , but that In defiance of
law he allowed them to go on ; in defiance of
his oath he wln'.ccd nt them ; in defiance of
nil decency and all regard for the opinion
of the community ho allowed them to go
on. He has charged in that paragraph
upon George A. Bennett something deeper
than any crlmo that could bo charged to
him. It may ho that It Is not such a
charge as would Involve him In punishment ,
bccauso the violation of an official oath is a
thing which It Is haul to bring to actual
proof , but It charges upon him a blackness
of heart compared to which the false testi
mony of a witness In court upon
the stand Is but little ; It charges
upon him a blackness of character which , If
true , should consign him to the contempt of
the whole community ; It charges him with
something which , If true , should make him
an outcast from decent society ; It charges
him with something which , If true , should
make the people of the state of Nebraska
BO lmlgnant ] against him that he could no
longer live within Its limits ; It charges him
with something which , If true , should cause
him to hldo himself In some secluded cave
and never again show himself upon the face
of the earth ; it charges upon George A.
Bennett the deepest and blackest re'cord that
could bo charged to any mail' the Violation
of an official oath. f
The state's attorney dwelt at great lengthen
on the , testimony of Edna Marshall , seeking
to discredit it on the ground that she had
aworn that she was not a prostitute , while
some of the witnesses Introduced by tlio
state In rebuttal had testified that she had
lived with Boveral men. Ho Insisted that
If she would llo about ono thing she would
not tell tlio truth at all , and that the whole
of her testimony should therefore bo thrown
out , except so far ns It was corroborated by
other witnesses. Ho dwelt on that point
nearly hall an hour. Ho stated that ho
wont into this case without anv prejudice
for or against cither of the parties directly
Interested In the case , and said that ho
had tried the case just as ho would try
any In which the state of Nebraska was the
plaintiff. If the court held to the Interpre
tation of the law as ho looked at ft himself ,
and should bind over the defendant , ho
would continue the prosecution In the upper
court.
ARGUMENT FOR DEFENSE.
Mr. Slmoral opened for the defense. Ho
touched upon the rulings of the court as
applying to defamatory articles that were
llbelous per so and what constituted a priv
ileged communication , and then took up the
contention of the opposing counsel as to the
rejection of the testimony of the Marshall
woman. Ho insisted that if It was all to
bo thrown out because other witnesses had
differed with her on certain points , the saino
rule would compel the throwing out of some
of the state's testimony. Mrs. Bennett had
testified that she never called u physician
to attend Lllas Page In the county Jail , but
Ltlas had testified that she had done so.
Mrs. Bennett had testified that Jcsso New
man never came to the jail to see Lllas ,
but Lllan had testified that ho had , and her
story was corroborated by ono of the jailers.
If the rule was applied that If a witness
testified falsely In ono thing ho testified
falsely In all , the whole of Mrs. Bennett's
testimony must bo discredited.
The attorney then read n number of au
thorities , flrst as to the duties of a grand
jury and what should bo considered ,
and how nn Indlctmpnt was to bo ar
rived at. and then as to what constitute a
privileged communication. U was shown
that a publisher had the right to print de
famatory matter If there was probable cause
to believe It true and It was to protect the
public from an Incompetent ofllclnl.
Numerous authorities were cited to show
what entered Into a qualified privileged com
munication , and that an address to nn ap
pointive power , whether It bo governor ,
mayor , board or the electors themselves , waste
to bo so construct ) .
The arguments will bo resumed nt 2 o'clock
this afternoon , and an effort will bo nuulo to
: oncludo the hearing at this session ,

ALTON , 111. , March 15. A sensational
sequel to the Slcaats murder and sulcldo of
Sunday night has just developed by the con
fession of the thrco daughters of the murdered
ivoinan. They arc hard-working girls em
ployed at the glass factory and their earn-
Ingj have been squandered by their brutal
itepfather for two years. September
28 , 189 : ! , George Cockran. a traveling man
from southern Illinois , of good family and
with a young wlfo and child nt home , was.
killed on the doorstep of Mrs. Phillips. The
woman was arrested for the crlmo and
swore she shot the man becuuso ho entered
her house by force and Insulted her. Now
It IH proved by the children's confession that
Skuats shot the man from a closet whllo
ho himself WO-H a trespasser at the Phillips
home ; that ho then compelled the woman by
threats to swear to the crime : that ho broke
Ills own wife's heart mid sent nor to an early
iravo and then married Mrs. Phillips. to seal
her lips , but \\u\t \ ho was constantly haunted
by tht > vUlon of a man following him , and
finally shot his wlfo after she had threat
ened to dlvulgo the truth , The children
laid that they had not dared to tell the
truth whllo ho lived because they feared ho
would kill thorn If they had even Intimated
Ihcy know anything of tlio affair. After
the body of Skunts was burled a bottle of
blue vitriol was found In his bed.

Item-lit Concert.
It was n. program of exceeding richness
which Mr. Wnltt-r Wllklns arranged for the
audience that llllcd Boyd's theater limt
evening on the occasion of the testimonial
benefit tendered him , In which not only his
friends In the Union Pacific headquarters ,
but lovers of music throughout the city , en
thusiastically participated. Taken In Its on-
tlretv It WHS the best miscellaneous pro
gram Mint has been offered by local talent ,
nnil too much credit rivrmot be given the
artist ! ! who assisted the benollelnry In his
first concert. Mr . Hes.s-Fnchs nml Mis. II.
P. Whltmorc opened the program with
Mcndt-lHsoIin'H "Cuprlcclo" for two pianos ,
quite Intelligently played. Mr. Wllklns fol
lowed with Adams' fine tone poem , "Adieu ,
Mnile , " and his reception amounted almost
to mi ovation. The singer was In good
volcu and quite justified nil the pleasant
things that have been said nliout bis work
In times past. For tin encore be sang "A
Vlcilol In.lTpp T.nvrOv TTnlr. " Huns Alliprt's
twrt numbers for the violin were exquisitely
played , the "Hoverle , " by Vleuxtemps belli ?
parllculiiily nn artistic triumph , although
bo wns a bit oft In the "Spanish Dances. "
by S.irasalo. For nn encore he played with
soulful effect und brilliant technique the
ever old , yet nlways new , "Traumerel , " by
Schumann , Miss Bishop sang with
line appreciation DoKoven's Arabian love
Hoiifr. her well trained contralto showing
splendidly In the florid coloring of the song.
"Drenms" was her second number. The
Butler string quartet nmde Its first public
appearance on tills occasion In Mendels
sohn's "Quartet In D Major , Op. II. " Thu
members of the quartet showed careful re
hearsing , their attack and phrasing being
particularly commendable , although there
was noticeable now nml then n tendency to
overiiccenttmte , particularly on the part
of the "cello. Mr. Hutler played with foice
and received strong support from Mr. Nor-
dln , second violin. Mrs. Cotton could not
have made a happier selection than the
waltz song from "Romeo nnd Juliet. " It
suited her voice perfectly , being full of
ornamental runs , which only the colornture
singer can encompass. It gave the well
known vocnllst opportunity to show her
method to the best possible advantage. Of
course there wns nn encore , the singer re
sponding' with "Shu Stoops to Conquer. "
Mr. Cox gave a good reading of
Mark Twain's "Puzzling the Guides. "
Mr. Lumbard sang the "Pirate's Sons"
very well Indeed. The duet and Miserere
chorus from "II Trovatore" wns a pleasing
feature of the evening's concert , In which
Mrs. Cotton and Mr. Wllklns won honors.
The "Faust Fantnsle" gave Mr. Albert un
excelled opportunity to show what a thor
ough artist he Is on the violin , while the
sextet from "Lucia" brought the concert tea
a very fitting conclusion.
lKHoliii Quintet.
The Mendelsshon Quintet club was the
attraction at the Young Men's Christian
association hall last night. In a program of
unusual excellence. Music lovers have got
Into the hublt of looking for something out
of the ordinary when the Mendelssohns
appear , but the most sanguine were sur
prised at the numbers last night. In ad
dition to the usual selections by the club ,
the audience had the pleasure of listening
to the clear , llnlelike voice of the new

inai kable pet formances of Ludwlg W. Hoff

Work of
A gang of highwaymen got In their work
In the vicinity of the Hock Inland depot
last evening. There were nine of them In
the gang. Mlko Popp wns halted by the
crowd. They ordered him to throw up his
hands , and while he did so the thugs went
through his pockets , taking CO cents , which
was all the money he had with him. A lit
tle later the same gang held up n woman
and took 23 cents from her. An overcoat
was stolen from the residence of A. N.
Hngan , and It Is presumed that this is the
same gang that entered Mr. Sloan's house.
As soon OH the police were notlllcd Cap
tain Austin went to the scene , but the thugs
had gone. Some of them boarded a freight
train nnd wont to Omaha. Captain Austin
notified the Omaha police.

You may be greatly surprised at our state
ment that you need a few more tables In
your houso. Such n view of the value of
tables has never entered your head. Yet
It It the correct Idea.
Tables subserve elbow comfort more than
any other single piece of furniture. You need
a low Turkish table beside rach easy chair ;
you need a small table for letters and par
cels In the hall ; in odd corners place a cor
ner table ; and against a blr.nk wall space
let there be an old ISth Century table with
swing Hap.
AH this talk Is especially appropriate this
month whllo wo are having our great
March Furniture tale which Includes , among
other things , 500 different styles of tables.

"isftave your Soap"
so the soap makers say , es-
' 3) pccially if you're washing delicate
J things. Mow , in the namecof
common sense , what's the
use ? When you can get
Pearline , in powder form
for this very reason , why
do you want to work over
soap , which , if it's good for
anything , gets very hard and difficult to cut.
Besides , Pearline is vastly better than any
powdered soap could be. It has all the good properties of
any soap and many more , too. There's something in it
that does the work easily , but without harm much more
easily than any other way yet known.
Peddlers and some unscrupulous grocers will tell you ,
B /O / jfflyin < fXBJ ( "tin's is as good as" or "the same as 1'carline. " IT'S
C * Vv Ol/A * k FA LSI ! Pearline is never peddled , if your croccrsends
you an imitation , be honest send it back. 303 JAMES 'I'VI.L , New York.

oo nj O K ( EVER since clothing was invented has there arisen such a brilliant array of bargains under
o / one roof as are now beinpr produced at The Columbia. More than likely never again will
W
a these bargains be matched. Splendid achievements , of course , lie hidden in the misty shadow of
W
the future , but however great they may be ; however much "of value they may have , such bargains OM
w ca'nnot again be given by any one such as are now-making The Columbia a name to be handed w
en down through many future years as the time when clothing was given away. The many causes
15TJ that have led to this great sale need not now be repeated. Sufficient is it to know that satisfactory W
k4w arrangements have been made with the creditors and present owners of the building to allow The
Columbia time to clo-se out. They must quit now , They can't stay in the building much longer.
They will never resume. Any reasonable offer for tlje stock will be accepted as quick as .wink. to
