money tlmt I had given her to tnke care of
herself and the baby. He told her apiln and
again that If she dM not get the money
for him ho would I'll me of her Infidelity
ami might kill her. Chappie wonted to
know If my life wan not Insured In my wife's
favor , He tried to get my wife to give him
4100 with which to buy clothes. He told
her he had rich Motive * In California. "
Then the defendant took up the story of
his actions after learning from his wife's
Ilpi the Etory ot her Infidelity. He told
how he had spent the diy on Saturday and
of the occurrences of the following Sunday
morning. He explained his visit to the resi
dence of Mrs. Sammon , by faying that Mr .
Jsh had left the house and ho suspected that
she had gone to see Chappie and he followed
to sco where she wa < t going. He denied
emphatically that he had met Mr. Lowrlo
that morning. Ho said that he hid not
seen Lowrlo for three or four weeks prior
to the time of the tragedy. This brought
the recital down to the evening of Sunday ,
Juno D , the hour when Chappie arrived at
the cottage which he never left alive.
SAYS CHAPPLE FIRED FIRST.
"I was coming over from my mother's
barn , " said tab , "and saw Chappln.standing
at the porch. I asked htm what he was
doing and ho said that he had come to fix
the sewing machine. I said It was a funny
time to fix the machine and he raid If I did
not want It fixed that day he would come the
next day and do the work.
"I don't know what I said to him. I
walked Into the liouso and Chappie followed
mo In , He walked Into the bedroom , took
off the cover of the sewing machine nnd
begin looking It over. I started cut ot th ?
room and my wife followed me. She asked
mo to start a flro and said we would have
tea ready In a few minutes. I saw there was
no flno kindling In the basket. I marled to
the cellar for some kindling and had only
gone a few steps when I heard the chairs
moving In the bedroom. I went back to the
kitchen. My wlf < > was not there. I walked
luck through the dining room nnd looked
Into the bedroom , I saw Chappie bad
turned from the sewing machine
and had one. arm around my wife
and was attempting to take liberties with
her , and she was trying to gat away from
him , t was driven wild by the sight , I ran
Into the bedroom , grabbed my revolver
from a drawer In the dresser and ran
through the bath room and Into the room
where Chappie nnd my wife were. When I
reached the bud room Chappie was standing
at the foot of the bed. Aa I entered the bed
roam Chappie- raised his revolver and flred
at me. I then flrsd at him , nnd shot until
I thought my revolver was empty. I do not
know how often be flred at me , and I do not
know how often I shot at him. I was very
greatly excited. "
ENTERED SEVERAL DENIALS.
Attorney Bradley , who was conducting the
examination of the defendant , then presented
the two revolvers that were taken from the
lull homo on the night of the tragedy. Ish
identified the revolver which he owned. He
said It looked like his revolver and lie
thought It was the one which he had owned
when ho was employed a operator of the
police and fire alarm system. Ths other re
volver , ( lie nickel-plated one , he said he had
never seen. It did not belong to himself or
hif ) wife and he had never seen It before.
Then the attorney asked a number of direct
questions. Had Ish and his wife ever con
spired to kill Chapplo ? Had Ish ever told
his wife that she must kill Chapplo by Tues
day night ? Had he ever told her that If she
did not kill Chapplo he would never take her
back to live with him as his wife ? To all of
these questions the accussd answered posl-
tlvoly In the negative. He had mad ? no ar
rangement with his wife to get Chappie to
the house for the purpose of killing him or
for any o'her purpose nnd had not known of
her going to the telephone at Muller's store
and sending word for Chappie to call at the
house.
The defense sought to show that a change
had come over Mrs. Ish. That afUr her
meeting and Intimacy with Chappie she
had become weak In mind and body and had
not been herself. The state objected to tbn
admission of this evidence , and a showing
and offer was made by tne defense and tin.
court took It under advisement.
Mr. Slabaugh took up the cross-oxamlna-
tlon of Ish and questioned him minutely on
his conduct from the time' of lils wife's conCession -
Cession until the time of the tragedy. Tiiv
Ji'osa-examlnatlon did not develop any U : .
tirial flaws In the statojugnt of the nccucv
inil had not been completed when the cou.l
iiljourned for the noon recess.
The crois-examlnAllon of the defendant was
resumed at the afternoon tps. rion , Mr. Sla
baugh conducting the Investigation. Ho made
an effort to ( how tlmt Ish had Invited Chap
pl Into the house and had told him that ho
might as well come In that evening am
fix the machine and thus save a trip the nex
day. The defendant was quite certain thai
he had done nothing of the kind , He mid
he walketl Into the house and that Mr. Chap-
pic followed him.
Ish slated that there wan little or no con
versation In the room before he left to RS !
the kindling and Mrs. Ieh to look after the
supper. Chappie , on entering the bedrcom
had asked for a piece of cloth with which It
try the sewing machine. This was furnished
by Mra. Ish and Chappl ? turned his attention
to the machine and he , Ish , and his wife went
out. Ho was golns down the Blairs when he
heard the nolss of a moving chair In the bed
room nnd turned back to see what was going
on. Ho found Mrs. Inn sitting on Chappie's
lap. Then the trouble commenced.
Mr. Slabaugh's cross-examination was rigid
and minute , but It did not shak the statement -
ment made by till In his direct examination.
Falling to shake the testimony given by
Mr. Ish In his statement of the- tragedy and
the causes leading up to It the state sought
to Impeach the witness and attacked his
credibility. He was asked by Mr. Slabaugh
about his visits to girls who were residents of
the eastern part of the city during 1803 nnd
If he was not on Intimate terms with cer
tain Inmates of houses In that district.
Judge Keysor held that the questions wore
not proper for the purpose Intended by the
defence nnd sustained on objection made by
Mr. Ransom. With that the- state closed Us
crcss-examlnatton and Mr. Ish left the stand ,
apparently but little disturbed over the tryIng -
Ing ordeal through which he had passed.
TELLINO HIS MOTHER.
Mrs. Martha M. Ish. the mother of the
defendant , was called by the defense. She
testified that Jimmy had come to her home
before noon or about noon on Sunday , June
0. He was very much exclte < l.
Mrs. Ish could go no further. She had
been making an effort to appear calm , but
It was' unsuccessful , ns she broke down com
pletely and sobbed.for some minutes.
Jimmy had told her , she resumed , all his
troubles and fainted away during the recital.
He walked around the- house like an Insane
man and was weeping nnd sobbing and was
hardly able to talk for over an hour. He
was under great mental strain and could
scarcely keep up a convent-alien. The atlor-
neys for the defense asked Mrs. leh to tell
all that her son had told her. This was
objected to by the state and the court sus
tained the objection. Mrs. Ish was not cross-
examined.
Joseph J. Hengen was recalled by the de
fense. Mr. Hengen was a fallow employe of
Chapplo In the service ot the American
Wringer company. He lived In rooms ad
joining those occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Chap
pie and was on Intimate terms with Cup- !
plo and had been mad ? something of a con-
fldant of Chappie , who had told him of hlo
relatlona with Mrs. Ish.
"Mr. Hengen , " said Mr. Ranscm , "did you
see William Chappie have a revolver prior
to his death ? "
"I did. I baw him with a revolver on
several occasions. "
"Did you ever hear him tny 'anything
about usnlg hla revolver In connection w'th
the defendant , James C. Ish ? "
This raised an objection by the state ard
an argument on the admlsslblllty of uncotn-
munlcated threats. After a lengthy dUcju-
nlon of th ? subject Judge Keysor decided to
admit certain parts of the evidence. The
question was stated again , and Mr. Hensen
replied :
"Yes , sir. I had a conversation with him
on May 20 , out near the old fair grounds.
Chappie showed me- his revolver and said
that If It became necessary he would us. ?
It on Ish. I cautioned him , and he said that
the mess had gone so far that he might bo
compelled to put Ish where he could not
hurt any one. Chappie paid : 'You know I
have the necessaries to do It with , ' and with
that ho drew his revolver from his pocks :
and showed It to me. "
IT WAS T" " - "ALVER. -
Mr. Hengen stated that ho had -cen 'Hiap-
ple with a revolver on a number of ether
occasions. Mr. Ransorh presented the. nickel-
plated revolver for Mr. Hengen's Inspection
and asked him If he had ever seen It before.

, , Mr. Slabaugh did not get much satlstac
tton out of Mr. Hengen on ihe cross-cxamlnt

"Did you not since the bpnlnnln < r , of th !

m&ney for bslng a wllnem In the Ish cJrc ?
"No , sir , 1 did not , " replied Mr. Hengcn
"I have not had a roll of bills since I hav
been In Omaha , "
The attorneys for the defcnwj thin mid
an offer of the testimony of the wltncs
showing the entire conversation that hai
taken place between him and Chappie , bu
this waa ruled out by the court.
E. T. Day , living at 2913 Mason street
played some havoc with the evidence give
by Mr. Fleebs , who appeared for the- state
Fleebo testified that he was on the porch o
his house and caw Chappie approach the Is
residence and raw Ish meet him and go Int
the house with him. Mr. Day testified tha
he was In the sitting room of the house a
2913 Mason street , nnd that Fleebo was will
him. They could see no part of the Ish res
Idence from the room In which they wer
sitting. They heard the shots flred and then
Fleebo went out and went over to the Is ]
house.
Frank McVey. an employe ot the American
Wringer company , testified that he was In
tlmatcly acquainted with Chappie and knew
that he carried a revolver mot If not all o
the time. He Identified the photograph o
the dead man as the man he was talking
about.
Austin W. Tldd testified to having seen
James tsh on his wheel at the corner o
Eighteenth and Leavenwcrth streets on the
morning of Sunday , June 0.

house In March lai't and that he had a re
volver at that time.
Mrs. Green will bo recalled by the defensj

CARLISLE'S ' DELAYED REPORT
( Continued from First Page. )
no Improper contraction ot the circulation
because If It should at any time be fount
that other forms ot currency were not being
supplied to the extent required , exchanges ol
bonds for notes would bo suspended and golt
would ba procured by selling the securities
abroad. In order to further facilitate the
substitution ot other currency for the retire
ment ot legal tender notes the natlona' '
banks should be authorized to Issue notes
equal In amount to the face value of bonds
deposited to secure them , and the tax on
their circulation should be reduced to one-
fourth ot 1 per canti.ni per annum.
BANKS MUST HELP.
"As a part cf the plan for the retirement
and cancellation of the legal tender notes
the treasury should be relieved from responsi
bility for the redemption of national bank
notes , except worn , mutilated and defaceJ
notes and the notes of failed banks , and each
association should b : required to redeem Its
cli dilation at Its own office and at agencies
to be designated by the comptroller of the
currency , as was the case prior to the passage -
sago of the act of June 20 , 1SS4 , or , It tills
Is not considered expedient , nnd the present
system of current redemption by the treasury
Is continued , the secretary should have the
power after a future date , to be- fixed In the
law , to require the banks to keep their 5
per cent redemption fund In gold coin and to
deposit gold coin for the withdrawal of
bonds whenever circulation Is to be psrma-
nently surrendered or reduced. "
The secretary alsa favors the passage of
'
a law allowing national' banks to establish
branches In small towns with a view to
brli.glng th m closer to the people In parts
of the country rcmoto from largo towny and
cities , by which their usefulness would b ;
gic-atly enhanced.
The nccretaiy In closing his report says that
It Is not probabh that any plan for the per
manent retirement of United States notes
and treasury notes will bo adop ed that will
not require considerable time for Its compl ti
execution , and he therefore urges upon con
gress the propriety of prohibiting any future
smes of such no c-s or of national bank notes
of le u denominations than $10 , thus mak-
np room In the circulation for silver co'ns
and silver certificates of small denomina
tions. This , ho says , would Increase th-lr
use among the p ople and prevent their fre
quent return to and accumulation In the
treasury.

You note the cliilerence in
children. Some have nearly
every ailment , even with
the best of care. Others far
more exposed pass through
imharmed. Weak children
will have continuous colds
in winter , poor digestion in
summer. They are with
out power to resist disease ,
they have no reserve
strength. Scott's Emulsion
of cod - , wth hy po-
phosphitcs , is cod-liver oil
partly digested and adapted
to the weaker digestions of
children.
