EVIDENCE AGAINST PAYNE
His Confession to the Murder of Maud Rubel
Detailed in Court Yesterday.
STORY OF THE CRIME REITERATED

Interest in the Sam Payne murder case Is
( till Sufficient to pack the criminal court room ,
though nothing that has yet been brought
out In the evidence is new to those who read
about the crlmo and Sam Payne's state
ments after his arrest last June.
Witnesses have testified that the body
found In the Mcilugh building on South
Tenth street , May 31 , was that of Maud
Rubel. The doctor who made the autopsy
has testified that death was caused by a
blow on the head with a blunt Instrument , or
one having a broad surface. Ring ; , clothing
and slippers found In the possession of
"Sugar Lump" Baker , and which she said ,
first to the police and then on the witness
Btand yesterday , were given her by Sam
Payne , whose mistress she was , have been
Identified as being the rings , clothing and
slippers which Maud Rubel wore when last
seen by her parents. Yesterday Sam Payne's
confession of the crime , which has hereto
fore been published In detail , was repeated
to the Jury by the reprcrcntatlves of the
city papers , who heard It on the evening
of June 13 last.
Cross-examination has left all of this testi
mony practically as first repeated by the wit
nesses. After three days It Is not apparent
Just what the main theory of the defense
will be. From the drift of cross-examina
tion It Is thought that the defense will In the
end deny that the body found In the Mcilugh
building was that of Maud Rubel , and will
declare the confession of Sam Payne to have
been made under duress and threat.
About twelve witnesses are still to be ex
amined by the state , among whom are the
father and mother of the murdered girl , who
thus far have sat bovvcd down In sorrow as
auditors of the testimony , the mother In
black , and the father with the shadow of a
deep grief on his face.
It Is not probable that the case will be
concluded before the end of the week.
V1UTOKV FOR .MIC. JOHNSON.
Verdict of tlio Court Shown thut Ho Com-
mtttiMl NoVrnni ; .
iTho famous and somewhat sensational suit
ol ! Rev. Larrabee M. Campbell against Frank
C. Johnson of the Midland batik Is at an end ,
the plaintiff having been knocked out In
uvcry round , after which he was denied the
new trial for which he asked some time ago.
Mr. Johnson Is kept busy acknowledging the
congratulations of hU friends , who are glad
t6 know that he passed through the scathing
fires of the mills of the courts , and that with
out receiving a scar.
As Is well known , this suit was commenced
last March , the plaintiff suing for $50,000 and
alleging that the defendant had broken up
his home and estranged his wife , Hattle
Campbsll , to whom he had been married
some fifteen years.
When the suit was brought the papers
\yera filed and Immediately withdrawn , It
uelng claimed that tills was for the purpose
qf preventing Mr. Johnson from knowing
Just what charges were alleged. However ,
there were several sensational stories printed
at the tlmo , all of which were proven to
bo false when the witnesses went upon the
stand and the clergyman was called upon
to face the man ho had accustd. The petl-
tjon and the depositions of Mrs. Campbell
related a number of escapades and long car
riage drives , to say nothing of'a home In
Council BlufTs , a piano anil a gold watch
which , It was claimed , Mr. Johnson had
bought and presented to her. When the
testimony was In this was shown up In a
different light. It was clearly proven that
Mr. Johnson hod done nothing of the k'nd ,
but that Instead ho loaned Rev. Campbell
the money to erect the Council Bluffs house
and that the debt had not yet been paid ,
though Mr. Johnson still has the notes as
evidence of the existence of the same. The
wat6h story was also disproved , It being es
tablished that the watch was pur
chased by the members of Camp
bell's Iowa church and that the only
connection that Johnson had with ths mat
ter was to take the money and make the
purchase during ono of his trips to this city.
After having purchased the watch with the
money to subscribed Mr. Johnson turned the
same over to th preacher , who In turn gave
It td his wife. The piano story was even
thinner than the one concerning the watch.
Tha Instrument was bought by the preacher
of a firm In Council Bluffs and Mr. Johnson
was merely called In to give his opinion with
reference to the value. During the whole
of the trial there was not a line of testimony
to Indicate that Mr. Johnson had ever been
upon Intimate terms with the woman , even
she not daring to come Into court and tes
tify to the allegations mndo In the deposi
tions , notwithstanding the fact that she was
m Lincoln during the whole of the trial.
There was no evidence tending to show that
Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Campbell had ever
token the moonlight rides which It was
claimed they had enjoyed together. Mr.
Johnson has no hesitancy In denouncing the
prosecution as. a blackmail , and In stating
this he has detailed the manner In which he
was Induced to settle prior to the filing ol
the pct'llon. When the attempt to settle
fu fdule wa * 'nd'1"11 ' to have a church trial
that the matter might be kept quiet. This
proposition ho rejected , saying that he had
committed no crime and was willing to trusl
his Interests and rights to a court and jury ,
Even after this It was shown that Mr. Johnson -
son was hounded , and that some of thosi
who were prosecuting him tr'ed to Induct
mm to go to Lincoln In order to bring or
a settlement outside of the courts , that thf
whole affair could be kept quiet.
During the trial there were no wltnesse !
who testified to Indiscreet nets upon the par
or Mr. Johnson , every one , even the wit
nesses for the prosscutlon. declaring that hi
was a man of Irreproachable character.

Commissioner of Health Savllle has rnado
a thorough Investigation ot the Nebraska
Institute for the leiif at Ilenson , and haa
decided that the numerous cases of typhoid
fever among the Inmates are not duo to local
causes. He says that as far as he could
ascertain all of the patients brought the con-
: aRlon with them when they returned from
tholr vacations. He examined the buildings
carefully , but was unable to find anything
that In his opinion would be sufficient to
> reduce an epidemic. The structure Is In a
lllapldated condition , nnd the plumbing In
jadly In need of repair , but the sanitary
conditions arc not such as to warrant the
opinion that they were wholly responsible
for the fever. Dr. Savlllo says that all the
mtletits are now In a fair way to recover ,
and that all danger of further contagion Is

It Is easy to understand why architectural
bedsteads of white Iron with polished brass
trimmings are so popular. They subserve
every need. They please every fancy. They
are theoretically the. best , they are practi
cally the most economical , and they are ar
tistically the most beautiful ,
Theory asserts the need of frames that
shall bo light , not porous , easily handled ,
very strong , washable and Impervious to
decay. What better material than tubular
Iron ?
Practical considerations demand a price
that shall compete with the painted pine
bedsteads of country trade. We have brought
down these architectural bedsteads to $ G and
upwards.
Finally the fancy of the purchaser demands
beauty. And these dainty bedsteads , In their
soft Ivory white frames with trimmings of
burnished brass , realize every desire.
They arc the finest bedsteads ever offered
at the price.
Catalogues ot our line of Iron and brass
beds will be mailed upon application.

For tale by ull First Clues Dealers. Manufactured by the

Factory No. 304 , St. Louis , Mo.
This country is off this year. Democrats are
republicans , republicans are populists and populists
are democrats. The goldbugs are after silver and
the silverites are after gold.
The Nebraska is off , too couldn't nVure out
such a possible demand for overcoats , as made upon
us recently. The fashion isoff" a slouchy-fitting-
long , loose , blankety overcoat is the fad of fashion
this year. Even short people sigh for long over
coats.
All of our overcoats are long. Matters not
what quality or price , they're all long. Even our
Two-Seventy-Five coats are made according to this
season's length. Our Five Dollar overcoats are as
close to the fashion plate as any stylish garment
you've seen so far. Six-Seventy-Five , Ten-Fifty ,
Fifteen Dollars , Seventeen , and up to Twenty-One-
Fifty they're all long and stylish , best of fabrics ,
most serviceable of linings and handsomely draped.
But our prices are only "short" features about * * ' 1
our coats. In one of our windows you can see
some of our Five Dollar overcoats. Tell you what
it is like : A patent all-wool beaver , lined with cas-
simere , velvet collar , made up clean , silk stitching
all over. It is by heavy odds the best $10. oo article
ever retailed by man. Side by side you see some
of our Five-fifty long , warm and storm protecting
ulsters , of several different cloths and as many
colors. That will also put a surprising smile on your
face , because you know others charge you for one
like it at least $10,00. By the time you sec other
prices you'll know why we are the acknowledged
money-savers of this country ,
Here is an additional sacrifice : We have a few
styles of shorter than usual gauge of overcoats , that
formerly retailed at from $17.50 to $25.00. Are to
be cleaned out this week at Fifteen Dollars. They're
clean , brand new stock , but the sizes are 34 , 35 , 36.
Nothing larger. Truthful advertising demands that M
you shall know it. We never misrepresent.
