Neb , June -Spetl.il ( Tcle-
) In the Stott murder trial thu day
was occupied until about l.alf tin I.our before
adjoin nment In giving rebuttal evidence by
the state. There ucro uvetal delays waiting
for the sutu's witnesses , uiid no evidence
of any Importance was given. It Is safe to
say that the s'.ate haa not In the least
strengthened Its or.n case nor weakened the
case put up by the defendants. The case
presented by the defense appears to bo an
absolute alibi. All the defendants have gone
upon the witness stand , and so have thosw
who wcie airested and discharged.
Di > l Akin Mas recalled and testified that
Mullihan said to him just after the arrest
that lie had not been In Scottvlllo neigh
borhood on December 31. On cross-examina
tion Attorney Harrington created a diversion
by asking the witness If he was running a
caloon In Atkinson without a license , ex
plaining that he merely wanted to show that
the prosecuting witness was violating the
iH.itutc and that the attorney general had
not neon fit to prosecute him.
The first witness called this morning by
the slate In rebuttal was Mrs. Elliott. She
was asked by the attorney general It she had
not stntcd In a conversation with Mrs. Darr
that she had a gold ring , but that it was too
large and she often lot Elliott wear It. Wit
ness replied that she did not make any such
statement , and had never owned a gold ring.
Hiram IIodgKlns testified to 1'olk's good
reputation. On cios-examlnatlon It was de
veloped that the witness was a friend of
Scott and was Interested In the cattle busi
ness In Holt county , having purchased some
of the Wyoming Cattle company stock , In
which Scott was said to have been Interested
Nat Uradstreet swore that on the night of
December 31 the moon was shining brightly.
C E. Hall testified to a conversation with
Harris ? , In which ho had stated prior to the
preliminary hearing that he had not seen any
one on December 31 , and that he was hunt
ing horses nlone. Saw Stanton eame day
Stanton said that he was at Harris' all day
and left that evening to go to his father's
place. Was at Elliott's place Was at Elll-
ott's Wednesday afterward and talked with
Mrs. Elliott. She had told him that Pinker-
man was not there on Sunday or Sunday
night , December 30.
John Week was called and teslflcd to
Polk's reputation for veracity being good.
FUN TOR Tlin DEFENSE.
The defense had lots of fun with n. E
Howdcn , a weather bureau observer located
In Holt county , who was called to testify
as to the state of the weather and the loca
tion of the moon on the night of December
31. T V Golden aired his astronomical and
meteorological knowledge In the examination
of this witness.
J. I ) . Ilcrry , Adolph Peterson , W E. Mc-
Robertf ? . James Smith and several others
wcro examined In regard to the reputation
of II. A. Polk , whose credibility was Im
peached by the defense yesterday.
A. I'ulkrod of Uoyd county testified thai
1'inkerman had told him on the way to
Spencer June 11 that ho could prove that ho
was In O'Neill the night of the murder.
Mrs. G. W. llradt and Mrs. Mary Olrard
also testified to Polk's reputation. Cach o
the witnesses acknowledged on cross-cxaml
nation that they had no means of determining
the credibility of the man Polk except by hi
dealings with them.
U. H. DIckson was called , but the defensi
objected to tie witness' testimony being in
troduccd , as It was not proper rebuttal
DIckson had1 a piece of paper on which som
black paint had been rubbed. It was altegei
that the paint was rubbed oft the buggy o
Mert Hoy's , which U was claimed was used ti
take Miss McWhorter and Mrs. Scott awa ;
from Parker , and which Mrs. Scott svvon
had been painted after the affair. The cour
sustained the objection and DIckson and sev
eral others who had expected to testify on
the same line were not examined.
James Trlggs of O'Neill was called an
testified that he had seen Barney Kcarns.
witness for the defence , In O'Neill at 12.30
Kearns had swore that ho did not get t
O'Neill until 3 o'clock. The defense recalle
Trlggs and brought out that ho had bee :
caught by a number of the boys In O'Nell
on a banter for the drinks for the crowd , am
this made him so mad th'at ho wanted re
venge.
Miss McWhorter and Mrs. Scott were re
called and testified to some minor points.
The state asked that Dr. Gllllgan'a testl
mony at the preliminary , to which the defensi
hid objected , and which was taken under ad
vlscment by the court , bo read to the jury
The defense raised the point that the matte
was not rebuttal and was part of the ex
amlnatlon-m-chlcf The court ruled that In
asmttch as ho had forgotten to make his rulln
known before the state had rested ho woul
allow the matter to go In. For a time 1
looked aa though the case would be brough
to a. sudden termination , ns Mr. Harringtoi
said that he could not go on If the case wa
reopened unless he had Dr. Corcoran
O'Neill and several other witnesses here , an
said that the defense would probably ask fo :
a continuance until next term. The attornc ;
general concluded In view of this fact not t
push the matter and the elate rested.
DEFENSE HAS A ROUND.
The defense then called up some wltncsse
In rebuttal , amopg them Sam Nelson , score
tary of the Protcctlvo committee , who testl
fled that he had written the copy of the oat
and by-laws of the organization which Mr ,
TJttley charged were written by Miss Jessl
Harrington of O'Neill. Shortly after cour
adjourned until tomorrow at & 30 a. m.
Now that the case It closed the publl
generally arc discussing the course which le
to the death of llarrctt Scott.
The expense of this trial to lloyd count
Is from $50 to $100 per hour Thcso fact
arc being pounded Into the jury and th
audience- generally by the defendants' conn
BO ) , Golden and the Harrington brothers ,
The populists claim that republicans are re
eponslblo for these costs , and that the cas
was brought hero because It was supposei
that In Ilutto the state could secure a convlc
tton of the defendant.

was In the city today and called on the gov-
rnor and state auditor. Horn is plaintiff
n the suit to compel Governor Holcomb by

arrangement was made between the governor ,
udltor and himself whereby , the three
months' salaries duo employes of the In
itltutlon can bo paid and work on the new
addition to the asylum carried on pending
'ho decision of the supreme court , which will

In this connection It Is stated at the olllco
of the secretary of state that Webb Elton
ono of the six trustees ot the Institution
elected at the jclnt session of the house and
senate list winter , has not taken the oath of

tion and Second Hlllsdale addition to the
city of Lincoln Mr. Perkins claims that ho
contributed one-half of the purchase price
and that Mr. Touzalln had accounted to him
up to the time of his death for those that hat
been sold previously. At the tlmo the suit
was filed It was supposed to be merely a
friendly contest to quiet title. From the
answer filed today It appears the executors
propose fighting It. They deny emphatically
that Perkins ever contributed anything to the
purchase price , and aver that Totizalln ownec
them all himself. They further insist that
a decree of the district court of Douglas
county vested the title to these lots In the

the majority has been forced to back down
from the stand It took In Its endea\or to
force the company Into the National guard
They claim that It cannot do so In the face
of recent proceedings In court. But the court
has Insinuated that tlic only way out ot the
dlfilculty Is either agreement or dlsbandmcnt

KTCIlltIg ,
LINCOLN. Juno 23.-SpecIal.-At ( ) the
teachers' Institute this morning Prof. Cook
corrected a statement made by the Journal
of this city that the State Board of Educa
tion ot Illinois had closed the normal school
at Normal , 111. , of which Prof. Cook Is
president. Prof. Cook said that Governor
Altgeld was a warm friend of education and
his Individual efforts had secured large
appropriations from the Illinois legislature
for the aid of the schools. Ho said that there
was no unfriendly feeling for the State Nor
mal of Illinois.
TaKIng up his continued lecture from yes
terday , the professor said that the nature
ot education depended on the nature of
mind. There were , he said , two widely dif
ferent theories of mind. By one of these
the mind was a blank , ready to recolvo any
Impression that may bo made upon It. By
the other the mind Is a germ that grows by
Its own Inherent strength. These two the
ories are represented by two great leaders ,
Comenlus and Rossoau. Prof. Cook held to
the theory that the mind grows by Its own
activity. There was a wide difference be
tween a real teacher , one who affords oppor
tunities for growth , and a similar teller of
facts. To do the work that a pupil should
do was a mistaken kindness.
Tomorrow e\cnlng Prof. Cook will lecture
at the chapel of the State university on "The
American Idea of Education. " At the Com
mercial club lawn fete tomorrow evening
Chancellor MacLcun will be present to make
the acquaintance of Lincoln people.

The building of the additional room and tin
employing of a new teacher In the face of tin

SALT LAKE. Utah , June 21. ( Special Tel-
gram ) Chief Justice Merrltt today upset
ho American L an and Trust company with
: iich violence that It Is not likely to a galn
ppe.ir In the Utah court for some time to
: ome. The Ogden Short Line receivership
e came up on a motion ot the Trust com-
iany to modify Judge Merrill's recent order
y eliminating that portion which appointed
Y. H. Bancrofl Joint receiver , which would
cave Egan In sole possession. Authority was
Iso asked to Issue receivership certificates ,
pen which subject the first order was silent.
U had been Intimated thai Judge Merrltt
ad expressed an Inclination to grant the
iiodlficallons asked , but the district develop ,
nents showed that nothing was further from
he court's Intentions.
The Trust company was represented by
Ion. John A. Marshall of this city and the
nollon was resisted by Senator Thurston and
arley L. Williams. For the first tlmo In
he proceedings here the government was
cpresented , General Con In appearing for the
Uorney general , and opposing the motion
In arguing the case for the Trust com"-
iany Marshall stated that nu application had
een made fur the appointment of Bancroft
s rec3lver , and ho therefore asked that such
ppolntment be revoked. The order required
he raising of a larga sum of money , while
nder Bancroft's receivership Iho man.iRe-
nenl would remain unchanged. He also
wanted that part of the order requiring the
layment of accrued Interest on the Southern
xtenslon lines stricken out. As to the
Dillon Interesl , the mortgage covered a road
ot In this territory and was out of the
urlsdlctlon of this court Senator Thurston
nado a brief statement and urged that no
modification bs made. Williams was sur-
rlsed that Hie Trust company had not asked
ho other courts to confirm Bincroft's ap-
olntment , as courtesy required them to do.
GOVERNMENT INTERESTS SATISFIED
General Cow In said he v\ns Instructed by
ho attorney general to strenuously oppose the
ppllcatlon on the part of the government ,
'he receivers formerly appointed were satls-
'aclory to the government as Its Inlcresl
an along with the property. The Loan
: ompany had asked for on Independent re-
lelver , to which It has a right when the
iccrued Inleresl on the mortgages Is paid.
On behalf of the government he thought
he separation should not be made ; that In
he Interesl of the people of the west no
icgregatlon should be made.
Judge Marshall said 'Tor the first time
ivo see Iho government represented here.
t 1ms no Interest In this road. Its lien
s on the Union Pacific. I am surprised that
ho attorney general of the United States
should send a man here to urge the In-
ercsts of the people ot this Intermountatn
region. The allorney general does nol repre-
senl them. He has no Interest here. The
government has no Interesl here. It has nol
been allowed lo Intervene. Does It come
liere simply to give weight lo the other
side ? We think it should be given no
weight "
Judge Merrltt put a stop to all further
piocccdlngs by deciding the questions
Ho said "This case has given
ne greal trouble and some nnnojance. I
made no order respecting receivers' certifi
cates before , and shall not do so now. That
matter Is being considered in Ihe appeals
In other circuits. In the meantime I will
'el Iho order stand as before.
SHORT LINE REMAINS INTACT.
There will be no Independent receiver for
Ihe Oregon Short Line railway in Utah
The American Loan and Trusl company de
clined to accept Bancroft ns co-rccclvnr be
cause he was a Union Pacific official Judge
Merrill refused to modify his previous order
Under this condition the Union Pacific re
ceivers will continue lo operate the Short
Line In Utah In connection with the Union
Pacific main line. It still remains to be
seen whether the Short Line road outside of
this terrllory will be taken charge of by
Egnn , and operated Independently , or fal
back to the Union Pacific management ns
formerly.
