I Is understood that the Indisposition of Mr.
Erwin Is really serious After the close ot
his address this morning he collapsed , and
. for two hours was almost unable to see. 1te
. . covering to some extent he at once left fat
St. Paul .afer expressing to his associate .
John Day Smith , regret at being unavoidably
, absent this afternoon.
HOW TiE NFWS SpIMD.
A messenger was In the court room with
Instructions to hurry to the Ozark as soon
. as a verdict was given He left ns son as
. the word "guilty" had fallen from the clerk's
lips. Hayward made a motion as though he
. would Intercept the boy , but he was not quick
. enough , the news hall spread In an Incre-
Ibly small space of time . almost a mater of
seconds afer , the result waS announced , a
, wild yell rom the streets tollt that It was
already the property of the multitude.
Anol the IleoIle congregated outside the
court housl were several hundred women , and
the sentiment among them seemed to be fully
. as hostile as that of the men To illustrate
- the cousumma nrve ' and nonchalance of the
anl
accused . after hI bal been taken over to the
jail . following the retIrement of the jury , he
' ureJ te Sirlps , one of the officers . with the
remark : "Let's playa game of cards on the
result , " to which the reply was made by one
, . of the deputes : "Il come In there all 11ay ,
. Harry , If you'l promise not to hypnotize me. "
I , " The trIal has lasted almost seven weeks
: . Court opened an hour earlier than usual to
, ' give Mr. Erwin time to close his ar ment
. ( or the defense which had already lasted two
: t ( ays.
' Erwin began by pointing out that the loan
Harry Hayward had made to Miss Clog had
. ' not heen attacked In the evidence except by
the word of Claus Illixt. The validity of
this loan was the citadel or the defense. I
was evident that had the police machine
been properly set In motion the mystery
surrounding MIss Ging's behavior would have
been solved and In a manner conslstnt with
the noble character of the girl. At the
same time I would have relieved this
"Innocent man from the charge under which
: be now rcsts "
Mr. Erwin then devoted himself to the
, ' alibI and claimed thal all of Harry's time
b when he was Involved by hillxt's testimony
bad bcen satsractorly accounted for. In
r closing he said :
ERWIN'S CLOSING CRY.
"This Is the most monstrous persecution In
; history. I you are . In obedience to the
. . pressure brought on you. to teal down all
the rules of law : I fanatIcism and the mon-
strosiy of this alliance bHween the perjurer
. and the murderer are to influence you. then
; tell your artisans to remove from all our
. domes the statue of justC ! Tel them to
put In her place a figure of tlC Hag of Hell.
Take down : you ; flag . . Uui Qag , of your rc\ub-
: lie , the f d and white and blue ! Take It
down-the ail fag of ( reOdom-and bid your
yur
t _ omers rear In Its piaca that pOlished . bla k
face of hellish perjury ! !
. "You gentlemen of the jury , you are In
the hands of Go ! No power can mal or
overthrow your verdIct. Beware you do not
. betray the conscience of the nation. "
I took Judge Se3gravc Smith forty minutes
to real his charge to the Jury He declared
' that the verdict must be guilty as charged or
. . , . not guiliy. I the defendant was charg I
* wa premedlttel : the judge Intimated there
could be no verdict of guilty less than murder
( , In thc fIrst de ree.
' . He continued : "To what extent the de-
tee baa . discredited Dlxls testimony Is for
, you , gentlemen . to say. They say his testimony -
mony was conflicting and you have a rIght
- . to take Into consideration the condition of
Iflixt's mind that night I Ie necessary for
; - you to be satsfed that Dlxt killed Miss Ging.
t ( , Second that : hIayvrd Incited.
p' . "I when you retire you are satisfied that
Dlxt killed the girl and Harry did incIte
you may proceed : I not , do not consIder the
: verdIct further.
"But I harry did incite , your verdict Is
gui ) . . The state Is not relying on circum-
stMtal evidence , but has the PosItIve tes-
: tmony to prove that Dlxt killed Miss On ,
r and tha positive slatement of Alry Hayward
a' few days before the murder that Harry
¶ saId he was going to kill her. This testimony
. Is IIEO sUPlorled , as It must be . by circum-
.t Itantal evidence. You must decide how far
this evhleqce Is worthy of cre lence and how
' far It Is corrobora ' tve. ' 'hB tatmony of- an
accomplIce ' must be accepted with extreme
c btlon. "
- The charge was very satisfactory to both
. SIdes and no exceptions vera noted I was
generally conceded to be fair ant Impartial.
t Tbu ruling passion of Harry Hayward was
t. l\reng \ In the presence of death. ' He placed a
' . bet of $ tO this morning that the verdict
c would bo an acquIttal ' and that I would be
t. : reached InbldD of two hours by the jury
JUdge Smith stayed In the court rcom an
t hour . and then. as no word cam from the
t1 jury room , went home to dinner. 'fha court
Was adjourned until 2 o'clock.

I.INCOLN , March 8.-Specal.-The ( ! ) housa
spent nearly the entire day In commIttee of
the whole considering anD of the fIve stock
yards bills , house roll No. 328. I had been
anticipated that I stubborn light would be
waged on this , or anyone of the other fve
bills , and such anticipations were , 'erlnel ,
Cole rustic a bad break by attempting to
saddle the entire responsibility for the hilt
on the republican party , but an analysis of
the vote shows that Il would have had hard :
shedding without the combined strength of
democrats and populists. Hothllutner , for
instance , a populist . tried to Insert an amendment -
ment cutting the ! Irlcc of weighing ali yard-
Ing cattle from 25 cents 8 head , the present -
ent price , to 15 cents.
Brady asked and obtained unanimous con-
, sent to Introduce a resolution to appoint a
committee to investigate rumors regarding
mismanagement or the penItentIary. The
re1oluton was adoptel ,
The house then went Into commIttee of the
whole to discuss the stock yards bIlls . house
rolls Ne 328. 9. lS , 10 and 398. with Barry
In time chair. A parlamentary riot Imme
diately ensued over whIch bIll should be

at ly. The bill was then considered by sec-
tons anti Howard moved to elIminate that
portion of sectIon 3 which provides that lIve
stock Inspectors shal be appoInted by the
governor on application of the stock yards
company. Howard wanted to strike out all
that portion which relates to application by
the stock yards . lie saId that the companIes
would not make any such application , A
substitute was moved to strike out all of
l' cton 3. This motion was lost and How-
ard's amendmentvas c3rrled. Section 3
was then adopted as amended.
When section 4 was reached a fool of
amendments rolled In upon the clerIc , Miles
wanted the charge for inspection of flogs to
he reduced from 8 to 6 cents. lie sold that
the companies could make more on a car
load or hogs at 6 cents than they could at
25 cento , the old charge , on cattle.
BENEDICT BLISTERED THE BILL.
Benedict then saId that there seemed to
seeme
bo an unjust disposition on the part of the
house to jump onto the Omaha UnIon stock
yards simply because they were controlled
by a corporation. lie read a number of
Important details showing the magnitude of
the organIzaton and the Immense amount of
capital Invested In the enterprise. He sold
that the mere mention or the Important Industry -
dustry Qf"'he stock yards was like shaking
a red rag al a bull. A fuslade of questions
was fred at Benedict. to' all of whIch he
was ready to reply In their order at the
conclusion of his remarlls Section 6 , which
attempts to "regulate" the weights or hay
and corn sold to shippers , BenedIct completely -
pletely riddled. proving conclusively that
In ninny cases the bushel baskets In which
corn was delivered held more than seventy
pounds , and that the weIghts of bay were
fair. He mid the capital stock of the yards
was $5,000,000 , all of which was paid in . and
there was not a dollar's worth of watered
stock In the corporation. At present the
yards were losing money. I required 100
car loads n day to . pay expenses and they
were not ecelvlhg.thaf many. They bad

yards at South Omaha had been of great
benefit to the state and raised the price of
cattle In every portion or the state , and were
In competition wIth all the larger
competton wlb al corpora-
tons In this line. This question had lately
been before the Mlssou 1 legIslature and a
committee had been sent to Kansas City to
investigate charges against the yards. On
' March 4 the committee had reported and
found that the yards were well conducted
and the charges were dropped In the legis-
lature. legs-
Smith Inquired of Benedict how much the
South Omaha yards ' were ' charging for hay
"Twenty dollars a ton , " replied Benedict I ,
"How much does the corn you are feed-
big cost ? "
"Sixty cents a buhel "
Question by MIles : "How much can I buy
Omaha Union stock yards stock for now ? "
"At par. "
"Why are they losing money now ? "
"Wby are we all losing money at this
time ? "
"What Is the average of corn and hay red
In the yards ? I have proof that they reed
more Ulan you claim I have proof that as
high as three bushels of corn are red to a
carload or hogs. "
" 1 do not deny exceptions to the rule. I
say and am able to prove I , that the aver-
age of corn and hay to a car of hogs and
cattle Is one bushel of corn and 100 pounds
of hay. . " .
HOWARD KNOWS THE INCOME
Howard prefaced a speech by stating that
he was aware that what , he mIght lay In behalf -
half at this bill 'might retard legislation l ( on
the matter . Still , he felt moved to speak , anti
wanted to say that he was willIng a cbr-
10ratol shoulll make al least 10 per cent
on its capital . but he know that the cor-
poratlon known as the Omaha Umon stock
yards was making n great ( heal more. In
his opInion there was a demand for fame
, steele lcglslatlqn yards. correctIng known abuses In these
Rcketts said that these stock yards were
In no sense a monopoly. They were on a
lIar with hanlls. I a man did not think

asked \ him If there were not laws regulating

Johnston of Dougla took the floor In oppo-
IIt0n to lImo measure. and made 1 ringing
speech. At its Incert on Howard Interpolaet

hating. But he did not make the discovery
until Mr. Paten hall Isert d the old sinking
ship of democracy and was carrying a torch
In the ranks of republicanism. "
JOHNSTON FOLLOWED 'EM UP.
Johnston proceeded to show the banking
farmer from Gage , hlurch . and the editor
farmer from Sarp , Howard , had found out
that what the populists had neglected to do
two yens age It had now become their mis-
Ion to accomplish .
"When It comes 10 time question of reJlat-
InJ business enterprises . why does not some
interested member move to get a bill through
to make the Llnl'l hotel charge no more
than 10 cents a meal ! "
"I wish they would , " ejaculated talrgro\'e.
"Tho gentleman from Clay comes from a
county largely impregnated with populism ,
ali he has Imbibed many of the populstc
regulating ideas , "
"We don't want him , " interposed lorst ,
populIst.
populst.
"I sin glad of I , for I Is evident that the
gentleman from Clay has now come to the I ,
lartnl of the ways and must take his posi-
lion with the republicans. "
The speaker continued to show that there
was as much reason for regulating the price
charged by hotels as for attempting to run
the Omaha stock yards from the legislative
halls or Llacoln. Johnston severely arraigned
Durch for his lack of reasons advanced why
this bill should pass. The burden of proof
rested wIth Burchi Howard et ai to show
why such a bill should be passed. They werl
on the defensive , not the stock yards com-
Ilany.
"May I ask the gentleman a questIon ? "
sahl Burch
"When I complete my argument. "
"But I think It will be pat at . this mo-
ment. "
"The gentleman from Gage has a gel
memory , and It will be just as pat In the
ruture. "
Johnston dwelt on time obnoxious socialistic
alli populetc features of the measure and
deprecated the tenor or such radical legIsla-
tlon. At this 10lnt Havlk rose to a folnt of
orller that the gentleman was making a
campaign speech The chair Informcll Hav-
Ilk that the gentleman from Iolglas could
make any such argument as he wished , add-
log that one could always tel a wounded
bird by the flutter of' its svlns. Johnston
demanded , and In this he secondell n previous
motion by Benedict , that a committee be ap-
olnted I to visit the Omaha stock yards and
make 1 fair and reasonable report. In con-
cusion the speaker drew attention to the
ilberal anti unreasonable features of the
measure , a measure aimed at an Industry
which im1d been the pride of the state and
an advertisement that In great measure oft-
set the black eye receivEd by the stories of
desttuton peddlel abroad by Indiscreet per-
sons.
sons.Cramb
Cramb ef Jefferson made an energetic
speech , In hlch he claimed that there should
be a division of profs In the cattle busIness ,
and that the farmers wanted only their
rights .
MILES HAD A WORDS
Munger then called for the reading of the
amendment under diecussion , which appeared
to have been lost sight or. The amendment
1) ' Miles , reduces the price for \"elghlng and
yarding hora from 8 to 6 centto This I
brought Miles to his legs. lie said he re
spected the gentleman from Douglas for
stamsdlng tip for his constituents. He pro-
posed to do the same thing , and said that It
was a new Idea that the people bad not the
right to regulate corporatIons.
Howard then proceeded to wade Into Bill
Paxton In a most energetic manner . and
involved the name of John McShane , who he
said , had bought his way Into congress The
speeches had dried so for away from Ihe
amendment mnder dlscuEslon that the chair
Inler
said he lust rule further debate on these
lines out of order.
Sutton of Douglas said that he did not
believe that there was a stock yards , large
or small , that was maldng any moneYr There
was not 60 per cent of the stock coming Into
the Omaha yards that there was four Y0I
ago. He belIeved that many who had voted
for the maximum rate bill were now sorry
for It In the light or recent events , which ,
showe that so many railroads were Ibank -
rupt and In the hand of receivers. Now
was 1 poor tIme to attempt to regulate
great busIness enterprises whIch were a
'credIt and a profit to the state. .
Cole AOL , Hithcock _ said that 'he , ' rsptmbil-
cans would now do wba the pops had failed
to do two yeas ago pas 8' law regulating I
the Omaha stock' yards.
The amendment of Miles prevailed . making
the , charge for weighing hogs 6 cents a
head. .
Sutton of Pawnee tried to rIng In nn
amendment makIng a charge for switching
cars but did not succeed. There Is at
present no charge ' made for switching cars
and the amendment was regarded as an
absurdIty.
Rothleutner wanted to reduce the prce of
weighing and yarding cattle from 20.to . 16
cents a bead. I Is DOW 25 cents and the
bill . as drawn , provides for 20 cents. Roth-
'Ieutner's ' amendment went by the board
The bill was recommended for passage by
the committee.
REGULATING THE COMMISSIONS.
House roll No 9. by Suter to fix commissions -
sions for selling live stock In the stale was
then rushed through and recommended _ for
passage. I provides that I shah be unlawful -
ful for parties selling stock to 'eharge more
than 40 cents per head for cattle , $5 for
hogs , single deck cars , and $8 for double
deck cars : $4 for simeep . single deck. and $1
for doub deck cars. On the question of amend-
Ing the bill to permit anyone to sell lIve
stock In time Omaha yards Barry saId that
no one could sell stock either In Omaha or
Chicago unless he was a member or the LIve
Stock exchange of those cltles. , ,
Benedict disproved this by the sworn state-
mont oC Mr. Spearman of Sarpy county , \vho
had sold stock for over twenty years In time
Omaha yards and had never ben 1 member
of the stock exchange. There was a. close
vote on time motIon to recommend the meas-
ure for passage , but I prevaIled , 31 to 35.
TIme committee then rose and reported.
Benedict moved that the report bo not can-
currell In , but that a committee of five he appointed -
pointed to visit the stock yards antI report.
