Just before the noon adjourn ment. It was thi.- most telling evidence ad duced by the state tending to show a con- tplracy betwcei Ish and his wlfo for the murder of Chappie , and was secured only nflcr a long nnd determined contest between the attorneys over the admission of the ev idence. Mrs , Giccn was a domestic who was cm- plrjcd at the lib residence for a fhort time before the tragedy that broke up the home. Bho has been considered one of the strongest witnesses for the stale and her evidence has bt n scrupulously kept from tli3 public. Sliortlv after the arrest of Ish and his wife Mrs Green made a lengthy statement In the presence of c.vClilef of Police White nnd County Attorney Ilaldrlge. She- left the Llty soon aftciward end was followed to Chicago and brought back to Omnhn by the dale's attorney. When sha was called for the prosecution Friday the defense objected to the admission of most of h r evidence , on the giound that It was calculated to show a con spiracy which WOK not alleged In the In- foimatlou agaliut Ish , nnd for the further reabon that her testimony related almost entirely to conversations which had taken place between her and Mrs. Ish , and not In the presence of the accused. The argument of these poln's consumed a great deal of tlmo Friday afternoon and was resumed when court met yesterday moinlng. Mr. Ualdrlge and Mr. Slabaugh. for the state , and Mr. Hansom and Mr. Gurlty for the pilsoncr , cited authorities and made arguments thnt consumed the tlmo of the court until 11 o'clock before the taking of testimony was resumed. Judge Keybor decided to admit the testimony of Mrs. Green , not for the purpose of showlnwg coupplracy , but for the purpose of ( .howing conspiracy , but for the purpose prisoner during the time Immediately pre ceding the tragedy. WOULD NOT EXCUSE HIM. When the court opened , Mr. Baldrige arose and said he was placed in nn embarrassing position. He had Jtibt been served with an allldavlt In support of a motion for n new tilal In the Morgan murder cai > a and Judge Scott was ready to sentence the pris oner. "There are some charges In the afll- I davit that I know nre not true , " said Mr , Ualdrlge , "nnd 1 ought to file an answer. " Bk "I think you ought to give thi case your k attention , Mr. Baldrlge , " said Judge Keysor. B . ' "I his case Is In progress now , and the mol - l tlon you speak of In the Morgan case can be argued next week , or at any other time. " "I don't know what Judge Scott will do , " said Mr Ilaldrlge. B "Well , you had better stay here and attend - tend to this case , " said the court. "Tho ( buslne s of this binnch of the court Is just as Important n that of Judge Scott's court. Ho can do as he pleases about the case be fore him. 1 have no doubt that If you will present the case to Judge Scott he will grant you time to make a proper showing In the cabe. " Acting on the suggestion of the court Mr. Slabaugh retired and placed the case before Judge Scott and secured an order fixing a later tlmo for filing an answer In the Morgan case. case.Two babies that have been brought Into piomlncnie In connection with the Isli- Ctuipple tragedy figured In the preceding - ceding * ' . Mrs. Chippie arrived bafore court opened and Eat during the morning with her babe In her arms Soon after court opened Mrs. Martha Ish entered the room leading her toddling grandchild , the 2-year- old daughter of the prisoner. The little bright-eyed tot went at once to her father's chair nnd clamored to b ; taken up , and then placed her little arms around his neck and kissed him again and again. After the first affectionate greeting the little one nestled down In her father's arms and spent the forenoon In thnt position. WHY UEVOLVEH WAS BOUGHT. With the decision of Judge Keysor admit ting the testimony of Mrs. Gicen , the state resumed Its taking of evidence. "Mrs. Green , state for what purpose , If any , Mrs. Mabel E. Ish stated that the blackhandled revolver was procured9" said Mr. Ilaldrlge , "and also btate what conversa tion jou hud with Mabel E. Ish. " "It was obtained for the purpose , " answered the witness , "for her to kill Mr. Chappie and that If she did not kill him Mr .Ish would lilmstlf kill him. " Airs. Green's answer created a suppressed ceiuatlon In the court room. After some legal wunbbllng | the full story of the con versation came out. ' .Mrs Ish told me on Sunday , " said Mrs. Green , "that she was going out to find Chap pie. She said she wanted to get him to the house that day If possible- . She went out about 11 o'clock and came back before noon. When eho returned she told me that Chap- plo had lied to her and that ha did not live nt Twenty-third nnd Davsnport stieets , where he had bald that he did , She had left word there , where ho had some friends , for him to come to her house , "On Saturday morning Mrs. Ish told mo that she was going out to telephone to Mr. Chappie , When slio came back shs said that Chappie was not at the nfllcc , but she had loft a message to be given to him. Mr * . Ish told mo that Chappie was to bs got to the hoiiBi ) by Tuesday , and on Sunday , If pos- ilble. She said Ish had given her until Tuesday to kill Mr. Chappie and she was going to do It on Sunday If possible. She laid she would do It If she had to go to his room ut midnight and bring him to the house. "Mrb. Ish told mo on Sunday ITiat Mr. Chappie was going to the park that after noon , and she had a notion that e\ia \ would dress and go out nnd see him , "Mrs , Ish said that her husband owned the blacKhandled revolver. " "Will you state , Mrs. Green , " said Mr. Ilaldrlge , "If Mrs. Ish said anything to > cu about the prospect of her and her husband living together after what he had learned of Chappie ? " "Mrs , Ish told me. " said JUrs. Green , "that JImnile had raid that ho would never take her back as his wlfo If she did not kill Chappie. " "That U all , " said Mr. Ilaldrlge. "Take Iho wltnesw. " TUSSLE FOH HER AFFIDAVIT. The defense took Mrs. Green In hand for cross-examination , and the liveliest tilt of the trial between the attorney resulted , .Mr. Ilantom showed from the \\Kness that she had made a detailed statement of the case and what she knew of It to the chief of police and the county attorney. This state ment was taken In hlioithand and was signed by Mrs , Green and then delivered to the county attorney , "Iv t me take that statement , pieaeo , Mr , Baldrlge , " bald Mr. Hansom , In the most nutter of tact tone Imaginable , Just as though nothing eUe was expected , Mr. Baldrlge protested , The statement was a part of his private papers , and was not a / part of the record In the caie , had not been presented to the court , and the defence had lie right to aek to bee It or use It. "You have been using U all morning In the cxjinlnatoln of this witness , " replkd Mr. Hatifoin. "I want to show the court that you have- taken only garbled extracts from It. I propose to show that the written state ment of Mrs. Green contains evidence which will fully explain the conversations the has quoted In her testimony , " . After considerable talk and argument Judge Keysor ruled that the defenie should liave accetu to the statement of Mrs. Green for the purpose of cross-examination , and Mr. Ilaldrlge reluctantly drew the document from his pocket and handed U to Mr. Han- com. The attorneys for the defenie aiked tlmo In whlcl4 to read the document , and the court adjourned until 1:30 : o'clock , giving IIr.

At the opening of the afternoon session of the court Mr. Ransom resumed the cross- examination of Mrs. Green and bought to show that Mr ? . Ish had told her of threats that had been made by Chappie. "Did you not malic and sign In this document , " asked Mr Ransom , "the following statement : ' .Mis. Ibh told me that Chippie had told her that he had the names of parties with whom she had been Intimate , and did she not deny It , and that he would make life a hell for her on earth If she did not do certain things that he wanted her to do , and that she wa going to see him to see what he meant ? ' " The questions were of course objected to bj Mr. Ualdrlge , and In the cross firing among the attorneys It was brought out , ] ur- haps unintentionally , that Mrs. Green had nndo xuch statements In the affidavit which she had signed before the chief of police and the county attorney , but that the statenunts were made prior to the convertatlons which had been brought on the direct examination. Mr Bnldrlge objected to the question as not proper cross-examination , and the court sustained the objection. Mr. Ransom offered the statement signed by Mrs. Green In evi dence , and on the abjection of the state to Its admission the court took the matter under advisement , and Mrs. Green was ex cused from further cross-examination until Monday. TELEPHONING FOR CHAPPLE. J. J. Mullcr , n confectioner nt Twenty- eighth and Lcavenworth streets , testified tint Mrs. James C. Ish came Into his store on Sat in day afternoon , June 8 , and asked him to telephone to Mr Chappie at the office of the Singer Sewing Machine company and ask him to come to the Ish residence at once and to leave word. If he was not at the office , for him to come as "oon as IIP returned. Mr Mullcr bald he called up the sewing machine olllce at once and left the message and was Informed that word had alreidy been left for Mr. Chappie to call at the Isli home as soon as he came in. Miss Ruth Purvis of Algona , la. , testified that she was living with her aunt , Mrs. Dunn , at 2514 Davenport street In June last. Her uncle , Mr. Dunn , was manager of the Singer Sewing Machine companj's local ofllca She bald that about 11 o'clock on the morning of Sunday , Junei U , Mrs. James C. Ish called at Mr. Dunn's residence and asked If Mr. Chappie lived there. The witness replied that she did not know anything about it. Mrs. Ish then said that Mr. Chappie was an agent of the Singer company and she wanted to nnd out whore he lived. The witness replied that Mr. Dunn would be nt home on Wednes day , nnd Mrs. Ish said that would not do , she could not wait that long and must see Mr. Chappie that day. "Are jou acquainted with Mrs. Isli , " asked Mr. Ransom. "No , sir , " replied Miss Purvis and that ended her cross-examination. "The state rests , " announced Mr. Baldrlge. "if wo may be allow etl to call Coroner Maul on Monday to Identify certain property taken from the Ish residence. " The county attorney's announcement was a complete surprise to all concerned. The state had summoned sixty-three witnesses and had called about twenty of them , and It was not supposed that It would end Its presentation of evidence before Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Ilaldrlge stated that a large number of the state's witnesses were being held for rebut tal , and that nothing further than t'ne evi dence of Mr. Maul would be offered on ths direct prosecution of the. case. DEFENSE OFFERS DEPOSITIONS. The first offer of the defense was the depo sition of Charles W. Wlnstanley , taken at St Paul on October 11. The state objected to the admission of the deposition , and an hour or more was spent In examining the document by the court and the attorneys. Mr. Wln stanley was an Intimate friend of Chappie and was one of the pall bearers at the funeral. He detailed n part of the life and experi ences of Chappie , to which the stite objected , The admission of the evidence In the deposi tion , with that of two other depositions , was taken under advisement by Judge Kcy or and will bo rule < l upon Monday morning. M. J. Hengen was called to ths stand by the defense. Mr. Hengen Is one cf the head salesmen of the American Wringer company He hired Chnpplo In Octob'.r , 1894 , nnd roomed In the block on Soutli Thirteenth street In the room adjoining that occupied by Chappie and wife for a number of months prior to und up to the. tlmo of the killing of Chappie. He was Intimately acquainted with Chappie , and Chappie had told him of his acquaintance nnd Intimacy with Mrs. Mabel E. Ish. That was ns far as the defense got. The state objected to Wie admission of Mr. Hen- gen's cvldencs as hearsay testimony , nnd an hour or more was spent In the argument of the case to the court Mr. Bradley for the defense argued that It was bought to show by the. witness what the character of Chappie was and to show to the Jury that It was such that he would naturally be thu man who would provoke and take the initial part In the fatal encounter. Further It was pioposed to show by Mr. Hengen that Chappie haj used threats against the defendant , and that cuch threat * , by all rules cf law and decisions of courts , should be admitted as evtdenc ; . This question was argued at considerable length , and Judge Keysor finally decided to adjourn court until 9 o'clock on Monday morning ; to allow the attoineys to cite au thorities bearing upon the admlsslblllty of ths evidence In question. It U predicted by the attorneys that all of the evidence In the case will be fcUbmlttcd to t'o jury by Tuesday night. .Tm'I.Hiiiiliin ( "luh r.Irct At n regular meeting of the Jneksonlan club last evening the following ofllccis vveio elected to teive for the ensuing year : jQiiK'9 1J.

PRISONER NOW CHARGED WITH MURDER ( lint II.AVnn Drunk Wlu-n lie CoiiiinltU-il tin- CrliiifrrnlKiieil Ilrforc .liuluf llrrKa anil ' 1'a K i-ii ( o Couiit > .Jail. Sim DtiBols , shot by C. H. Hoover Fri day evening , died yesterday afternoon at the Presbyterian hospital at 3-1G. His strength had been steadily falling all day , and at noon ho was attacked by a second hemor rhage , which was the beginning of the end The wounded man's wonderful vltillty en abled him to be conscious to the last , and he conversed with his wife- but a. few mln- utss before hie death. Mrs. DuBols re mained with her husband the greater part of the night , but left for her home about a o'clock In the morning , returning to the bedsldo at noon. Shoitly after 3 o'clock DuUois called his wife by her first name and sild with nn effort : "I think I will pull through all right , " and th ° n relapsed Into a doze from which he never awoke. Mis. DuDols had requested the nurse to tell her when death w.vi approaching , as she could not bear to b ? present at the ending of her husband's life , and at tills moment the attendant touched her on the yhoulder. Mrs. DnUoly withdrew , and In a few minutes DuDols breathed his last. The remains were taken by Coroner Maul to the morgue , where an Inquest will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Shortly after -I o'clock Attorney Cochrau and a I3ee reported secured permission to talk with the prisoner. Hoover was con- llnsd In cell No. G , farthest away from the entrance , so that It would be an Impossi bility for him to hear any of the conversa tion of the officers during ths day In con nection with DuDols' condition. SAYS HE WAS DIUJNK. Ho was pacing the cell restlessly , and coming up to the bars of his cage ecgerlj Inquired about DuBols. When told that there had been no improvement and that he was still In a dangerous condition Heaver clasped his face In his hands and said : " 1 wlah to God ho would get well ; I was drunk when I did It. " He then risumed his rapid walking from one side of the cell to the ether , occasionally Bitting down , but not re maining still but for a moment at a time. When asked If ho was Intoxicated when he committed the crime ho replied : "I had been drinking and suppose I must have bsen. " When asked where ho went after leaving Andtcw Jackson , the colored man , nt 4 o'clock , ho said th t he did not remember , and give the same answer to the question as to how much liquor he drank. Shortly after the death of DuBols had been telephoned to the station Captain Haze started out to find one of the county attorneys , In order to have a warrant sworn out against Hoover charg'ng ' him with murder. He was unable to get any of them and finally re- tumed to the station In company with Judge llerka , who made out the warrant , which was * sworn to by Captain Haze. At C 30 Hoove- way brought up Into the court room and In the presence of half a dozsn people the war rant was read to him. For a moment Hoover seemed surprised at the announcement of the death of his brother- in-law. H glanced uneasily at the officers and at the door occasionally while the war rant was being read. When asked by the judga what he had to say to the charge he answered In a barely audible vo'c : "Not guilty , " and then collecting himself with an effort , added : "I haven't an attorney jet , nnd haven't got any money to pay one with If I had. Don't > ou give a man a lawyer when he Is In a fix like this ? " Captain Haze replied that a lawyer was unnecessary for a pieilml- nary examination , but that ho would be pro vided with one by the flat ? when he appeared for trial later on. This explanation appeared to satisfy Hoover to some extent , and ho walked back to hl cell with u firm step. WOULD NOT ANSWEH THEM. The officers In charg ? attempted to question him further as to the motive of the crime and as to whether he was Intoxicated whan he did the shooting , but to all these Hoover re turned the reply that ho did not Intend to talk much until he got an attorney. A mittimus was made out by the judge fhortly beforo'6 o'clock and the prisoner was taken to the county ja'.l. Samuel Dultols was 35 years of ago , He was born In Iowa. Ho wad employed for n tlmo on the police force of Topeka , coming to this city In ths spring of 1SS7 , where he secured work on the Council Bluffs and Omaha wagon bridge , as an engineer. 11 ° was appointed patrolman on the Omaha police force In 1889 , and remilned In the service until Jun ? of last year. Since that time he had baen engaged In the elevator repairing buslnera with an office at 1324 Howard , He WHO elected councilman from the First ward at the last el'ctlon , DuBols was a member In gooJ standing of the Modern Woodmen of America , lodge No. 120 of the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. Chief Slgwart had both the day and the night forces of ths police department on duty lart ulght , the former being held at the police htatlnn as a reserve force. It was feared by him that an attempt might be made to lynch Hoover , hut up to a late hour no slgnp of hostility were apparent Thsre was the usual Saturday night crowd on 11 ? streets , but there were few persons around the court house. A report was started early In the evening that Hoover hzd attempted suicide , but It wai without founda tion. Olil-Tlmu I'olltli-liui Ilt-iul. NEW YOUK. Dec. .

Wakeley , ths city clerk who suicided at Like Manawa on August 1 , 1S94 , is suing the Connecticut Mutual Life Insur- aiics company of Hartford on a policy for $2.000 , has been remanded by Judge Shlras of HIP United Sta'cs circuit court to tits dis trict court. An attempt w'as made by the Insurance company to retain the cases In the federal court by consolidation , but Judge Shlias refuted to do this. Ho therefore ssnt them to the ytato court because each suit Is over an amount which does not exccd $2,000. While protesting egalnst the tranpfer of the suits , the Insurance company has filed answers to them. In one It Is admitted that on Insurance policy for $2,500 was Issued William Wakeley , but It denies that It was Ir fore ; at the time of his death. Four learns ate advanced In support of the state ment that the. policy was void : That Wake- ley at the tlmo of his death was violating the law by carrying a concealed weapon , which consisted of a revolver ; that ht com mitted suicide ; that when the policy was Issued ho was addicted to drunkenness and swore falsely In saying that he was not ad dicted to drinking. In the other caJ the company denies that tha policy was Iwued. It U alleged that Wakely made application for two policies , but that he accepted only one ? of them. He was to accept or reject the other some time before November , 1S94 , but he had reached no decision before his death. o Minor Polli-t- Court Matters.

These saloon keepers of South Omaha , who published their applications for license In the South Omaha Trlb- uno and paid for the publication , will net be highly pleased when they hear of tha decision handed down by Judg ? Kejsor yesterday. HP decided that all such licenses vxould bs revoked. Judge Kcysjr said that the South Omaha paper made no claim that It had the largest circulation In the county , but did claim to hava the largest circulation In South Omaha. On this ground It alleged that It had a right to print the licenses and It was supported by the council. This Judge K'ysor held v > as di rectly against the provisions of the statute * . and against decisions of the supreme court , Therefore , he stated that he could no nothing else but revoke' the licences. This w.ll affect the sixteen taloon men who advertised In the Tribune. The licenses of the two saloon keepers who advertised In The Bee were also revoked. This was done on the giound that the petitions of free holders for the licenses were not proper ! ) made. There was no evidence to show that the signers were freeholders. In fact , Judge Keysor said that nothing was Introduced to show that the signers of any of the petitions were property owners , which was In Itself enough to cause him to revoke all the licenses. Judge Keysor Incidentally delivered a stricture on the council of South Omaha He eald that It had simply taken the law Into Its own hand and had granted licenses where the law had not teen complied with In any respect. Iho statutes said plainly that the notices must be published In the paper of the largest circulation in the county and that the South Omaha Tribune did not even claim this. Moreover , It was as plainly pro vldcd that all signers of petitions must IIP freeholders Nevertheless the council had accepted petitions , the signers cf which were notoriously no property owners.

Tills remarkable record Is cited by Dr. Tow no as conclusive proof of the correctness of his position.
