The trial of Charles II. Klllolt on the
thargo of murdering Gay Hutsonplller
November 17 last , was begun In criminal
court yesterday morning before Judge llakcr.
The court room was packed. The tntlre morn
ing was spent In examining jurors an to
their qualifications. Mttle progress was
made and It now looks an though It might
lie a week or moro before the trial can bo
concluded , If so soon.
Promptly at ft:30 : Klllolt appeared In the
court room In charge of a bailiff. Ho
walked ircctly and firmly and appeared not In
the least disconcerted as ho took his scat ,
ready for a contest Involving to much to
lilmself. Some minutes elapsed before
court was opened , but the crowd occupied
the time In securing desirable scats , many
women crowding Into the enclosure and
appropriating positions well at the front. U
had been noised about that Elliott might
possibly receive at the hands of the state
permission to plead guilty to manslaughter
and the movements of thu county attorney
and the prisoner' ! ) legal advisers were
watched with Interest , a they were engaged
during the opening mlmitc.s of the court In
arranging details of the trial.
ASK KOH A POSTPONEMENT.
The state , represented by County Attorney
llaldrlgo and his assistant , Mr , Jcffcrles ,
and Elliott by A. H. Ilurnett and W. 0.
Gilbert , appeareil before the judge and
created some surprise by mutually asking
that the cafebe postponed until Wednesday
or Thursday of this week , lloth sides seemed
anxious to Fpnr for tlmo , but Judge Daker
refused to grant the extension , taking the
ground that the other courts were all held
up. awaiting the Impaneling of thu jury
In the Elliott caco before they secured their
juries. He feared that delay would render
securing a Jury from the present panel Im
possible.
The trial was then commenced with the
understanding that after a jury Is Impaneled
the ini'ii will be taken In charge by a bailiff
until the middle of the week , when the tak
ing of testimony will bo begun. A dozen
men wcro called Into the box and the county
attorney undertook Iho task of finding out
how they weru disposed on questions of
capital punishment and similar points.
Elliott was the center of attraction , but
all the tlmo he deported himself with the
utmost coolness. In appearance he Is a
man rather calculated to favorably Impress
n Jury. Ho \ 2(1 ( yoary of ago. He spent
several ycary in the anuy. This taught him
to carry his head well and has given
him n confident air. Ills hair Is a dark
brown arid lie wears a tolerably full red mus
tache.
The crlmo for which thc-Htato seeks to
hbld Elliott Is fill I fresh In the minds of
the people , and few of thu Jurors but appear
to know more or ICS.H about the details. Hut-
Honplllcr. the victim , on the evening of
November 17 , was found dead on his bed at
the Wlmlpor hotel In room 49. Ills body
was covered with a quilt , hlx face bloc < ly
friin the cfTeetrj of a wound In the he.v.l
canted by the blown of n blunt Instrument.
Elliott , who was the victim's chum , was
later captured on n train and brought from
Cfdar Itaplds , la. , to answer for the com
mission or the crime. In an explanation
rglven of It In Jho Jail to Fi-Veral parties , In
cluding the rhorlff and a court reporter ,
Elliott uald the trouble between himself and
the dead mini grow out ol a quarrel which
ho and Hutsonplller engaged In over the
signing of a receipt , HutBonplllcr first threat
ening him , when Iho parties came to blows ,
and then llutixmplller was killed. From the
qnestloiiM of the defence propounded to the
Jury It Is evident that It lo the Intent to
show that the trouble arctxj In the heat cf
passion , but the stale has undertaken to show
murder by premeditation. Thu Indictment
nets out four counts , charging murder and
aUx > murder with Intent to rob.
SKCUHI.NG THE JtlHV.
During the morning Mourn eight jurors wcro
challenged by thu titato for cause and ex
cused. The defense rejected William
Vose , the first man It examined.
It wai > drtio by asking him If ho would give
the defendant the benefit It thcro was any
nuKonablo doubt of the commission of the
crime. Vo s ileclartil ho 1ml no doubts to
glvo away in that fashion and was cxcubed.
At tlio afternoon session of court both
nldoti exhausted their challenges for caiiKO.
whllo hut two peremptory challenge ? had been
uped by the defense at the hour of adjourn
ment.
Komo nlco distinctions between opinions
and "Impressions" were drawn out In the
course of the examination. Jurors Insisted
that after reading the newspaper accounts
and having heard Iho general talk they weru
Btlllvitliuil anything moro .dellnlto than an
"Impression" In their minds. E. H. Carter
reglsteretl hlmrclf on thly point as a juror
who had an "Impression" which It would rc-
quire evidence to remove before he could
glvo a verdict of Innocence , but who , at the
ainui time , disowned the poracsslon of any
opinion on the subject. Ho was the llrst man
excused on a peremptory challenge. Nols
PuteraM was excused Just before because he
Raid the filing of an Information would raisw
a pro'urnptlon ' of guilt In his mind.

Ilert Adams , Frank Krcjcl and Albert
Spalstct , three boys , are to bo tried on the
chargeof burglary , although they have al
ready been convicted of that offenpc. They
nro the lads who were arrested during the
early part of September for systematically
rilling freight cars In tlu > vicinity of their
homes at Fourth and Martha street ? . After
their arrest a cqnslderablo amount of the
stolen property was found In a cave and
another portion In their homes. When they
were arrested they wore charged with
burglary , and wcro bound over to the district
court by Police Judi ) > Gordon. Upon the
appeals of their parents and attorneys ,
however , the county attorney decided not to
prosecute them , .but to make an attempt to
send them all to the reform school. As a
consequence the Information charging
burglary was dismissed and ono for Incorrlul-
blllty was Hied.
The case was up before Judge llakcr a
few days ago and he dismissed U. Ho held
that In caeus of Incorrlglbillty , proof must
bo Introduced to show that the defendants
are beyond parental control. This could not
bo shown , Inasmuch as twine of the relatives
and parents of the lads knew of their guilt
bwausu they were wearing some of the
Ktolen goods. After the dismissal of the
case another Information , charging the boys
with burglary , was placed on flic.

Numerous letters of Inquiry that nro being
received by Secretary Wakcfleld Indicate that
people all over the country are acquiring the
idea that a big exposition In Omaha In 189S
Is at-surcd. vSome of 'tha * Inquiries are sev
eral months ah.cad of time , but the latest In
formation Is returned and the letters placci'
on Illo for future use. Yesterday a com
munication was received from a Chicago
firm asking what concession would bo
granted for the Midway features of the big
showi The writer did not give any defi
nite details In regard to Ms prospective
exhibition , but wanted to know when It
would be In order for him to make his
proposition
The convention of the Black Hllla Irriga
tion aHsocl'tion : that meets at turgls Clt >
December 29 and 30 Is likely to bo of consid
erable Importance to the Transmlsslsslpp
Exposition managers. Secretary C. V. Gard
ner of the association writes to Sccretarj
Wakeflcld that all of the members of the
legislature-elect from the Illack Hills
district will be In attendance at the con
vention and that It would he a good thing
to have the exposition well represented ai
that time. General Manderson and Governor
Holcnmb have been invited to attend tla
I'onvcntlon , and It Is suggested that a special
car of exposition pushers should be sent to
assist them lu bringing the Interests of
the exposition before that body. The sug
gestion Is very favorably considered by the
exposition managers and some action will
probably bo taken.
A dozen raw with a bottle of Cook's Im

License Inspector Hurst eays that the ped
dlers' ordinance that was passed by the city
council at Its lant mcclng will have a goal
effect. The ordinance makes no great
change In the present system , except that It
requires all peddlers to file an affidavit that
they raise their own produce and give the
exact location of their farms or gardcnn.
Mr. Hurrt cays that there are a large num
ber of pcddlera who como over from Iowa
and compote with the Nebraska producera.
These men declare that they rales their own
products and cannot therefore bo compelled
to pay a llceiuxs under the present regula-
tlona. It Is suspected that many of them
are really peddlers In the sense of the ordi
nance and buy their stock. When they
are compelled to Hie the aflldavlU there will
lie a meant ) of locating them , and If they do
not raise their stuff themselves they will be
arreotcd and fined.

LMII better known fs "Sleepy" Hewitt
was amvated yesterday afternoon on suspic
ion of having been connected with the rob
bery of W. McICenna's saloon , at Sherman
avenue and Corby street , last Sunday night.
An entrance was effected through a rear door
and ab : < ut $50 worth of wines , liquors and
cigars were taken. "Sleepy" was loud In pro
testing his Innocence. The police went to
work on the case and succeeded last night
in locating two other men who know more
about the burglary than they earn to toll.
Uctcctlveo received a tip yesterday after
noon which Induced them to visit an old
frame building : located at Fifth and Locust
streets , formerly occupied as a tuloan. Lately
the place has been used as a residence by
two men , Theodore Johnson and Olaf OUv > n.
The fact that Hewitt had been living with
the men and also that lie had been seen
hanging around the saloon In their company ,
led detectives to thoroughly ransack the
liouso and the grounds a b silt It. Their search
waa rewarded by unearthing the missing
goods , which had been burled In a manure
pile. There was about $35 worth of otuff
found. Johnson and Olson wcro both taken
to the station and locked up on a charge of
burglary. They pretended to be totally un-
awnro of the fact that the stolen booty wai. '
conceited on their premises and assert that
It must have besn placed there by "Sleepy. "
The police , however , arc of the opinion tha1
the men have been mixed up In a number of
DinalU-r Jobs around the city and that more
1'lundor will bo brought to light before thu
search U concluded. Jolmoon formerly run

The doctrine of mendacity was In evidence
at the legislative content at the Jacksonlan
club rooms yesterday morning. The
contestants had secured a couple i
of foreigners whom they asserted
had secured their naturalization papers
through the republican county cen
tral committee as nn Inducement to vote
the republican ticket. It developed that
both witnesses had told their friends that
they voted for McKlnlcy. but when they were
put on the stand they testified that they had
claimed to be republicans , bill had really
voted the democratic ticket. They thought
It was all rhht f r hem o tel' ' tl c people tha'
they were republicans because they had been
told that Bryan had advised them to do It.
John Vcjilo. proved to bo a bad bargain for
the contestants , for Instead of helping their
case ho swore that ho had Fccurcd his
naturalization papers through the democratic
county central committee with the under
standing that ho was to vote for.Its can
didates ,
Dr. Gcorgo L. Miller was put on the
stand for the apparent purpose of discover
ing what part the Sound Money Non-partisan
league had In the campaign. Dr. Miller
tcstlded that ho was the president of the
league and had used his Influence for the
republican candidates from McKlnley down
to assessor ? . Ho had drawn checks on
Henry W. Yates for the expenses of the
league , which amounted to about $000. He
did not know where the money came from
or how much he had to check against. The
money was expended for hall rent , printing ,
publication of speeches and other legitimate
expenses of the campaign.
Frank nurman. ono cf the contcstees , was
the subject of a rigorous examination In
regard to the manner In which ho had con
ducted hip campaign. The attorneys for
the contestants tried to t'how where he hail
paid money to various persons to work foi
him. but they wcro mot by a positive denial
In every Instance. Not content with that
they went over the same list of questlcns
halt a dozen times , until their own notaries
became dlrgusteil with the farce and sus
tained the objections of the contested. Iiur-
mau utatcd that ho had spent very little
money during the campaign. What ho had
spent was for hla Incidental oxpenws In trav
eling over the county. His campaign as-
scsi'inent ' had been paid -by the Garfield club
The nearest the contestants cimo to showIng -
Ing where any money was used wao when
the witness stated tthat on ono occasion ho
bought five of the KW uniforms.purchased
by the Oarfield club. Thu imeptlon whether
ho had not traded off all the other candidates
on the ticket for himself In the Eighth
ward was Indignantly denied.
Just before noon-Milton T. Barlow , when
the contestants had been trying to get upon
the stand for several days , appeared and be
fore halt a dozen questions had been oaked
him there was1 an 'Incident that fairly took
the breath ofho attorneys for the con
testants. Mr. Barlow testified that ho wan
the custodian of the funds used in the na
tional campaign , but he had not cbnnectloi
with the management of the locaj campaign
Ho had -about 1,200 stubs of orders that had
been -draw'n onhint during the campaign
The contcUVa'iits 'ntarted to , bring all these
Into the rtcord. Tlio attorneys for the con-
testecs objected on the ground' that this
evidence was Irrelevant , as It did not refer
to the local campaign. They declared that
the records wcro already encumbered with
500 pagffl of evidence that In no way applied
to the question at Issue and this would make
500 pages more. In the course of the argu
ment Mr. Wapplch. ono.-of the notaries for
the contestants , took occasion to declare him-
Helf. Ho stated that the notaries had sin
day after day listening to evidence , none of
which even pretended to support the grounds
of contest. The contcat had so far bien i
monumental farce nnil for ono he was tired
of piling up a bill against the- state unless
the contestants could bring in some evidence
that would have some bearing on the con
test.
test.At
At dm nftornnnii HrKKlnn Mr. Harlow was
on the witness stand. Ho had with him a
Uirgo number of orders and receipts and the
session was a most tedious one. Mr. Barlow
testified that ho had handled $19,700 , which
ho said had been used In the campaign for
Major McKlnley and not for the advance
ment of any local candidates. He Identified
the orders which had been drawn on him by
members of the club for which ho was treas
urer and said the money had been paid as
directed In the orders. All of the orders
showed on their face that they were In pay
ment for work performed by the parties
named. They were all small In amount , the
majority of them being for three or four
days' work at $1.BO per day. In each case
Iho receipt of the party to whom the money
was paid was attached to the order.
The hearing was very dull and was only
enlivened slightly by the reading of sev
eral orders , snowing that ono "J. H. Davles"
had been In the employ of a McKlnlcy club
during the campaign at $2 per day. In
answer to direct questions , Mr. 'Barlow ' said
ho understood that the J. H. Davlcs In ques
tion was the popocratlc candldatd for coun
cilman from the Eighth ward.

SPLITTIN' LOGS-
Ever see your father or your uncle or somebody else's
father or uncle splitting an old-fashioned ) o ? First a little
wee , tiny crack with the axe on the end of the log , then a
wedge , then drive it in way in till the log splits down a ,
little ; then another wedge. Drive that in till the other wedge
drops out , and keep on hunmcring , wedging , driving , working -
ing on the stick-to-it plan , little by little , inch by inch , till the
last wedge is driven , the last blow struck and the great big
log is sundered split. It's hard work. Slow work. Dis
couraging work , but it wins. And then the satisfaction of
knowing that every b.'ow counts. Kind o' takes you back to
the old farm , doesn't it but what's it got to do with The
Nebraska ? This much -'The Nebraska" lias built its busi
ness on the log splitting plan. Every clay finds us inserting
the thin end of a wedge to split a high price and every clay
we keep hammering , pounding , wedging at l/tc buying end vt
our business till we make some great big concern split his price
and then we hand it out to you and your friends and you go
home and t ll your other friends about the bargain you got
and when in the course of time you find it wcu-s as good as it
looks and belter than you expected , you always think of "The
Nebraska" when you want a similar thing the next time And
you always get it as cheap or cheaper than you did the first.
