At II o'clock yesterday morning the trial
of Charles II. Elliott for the murder of his
friend , day Hutsonplllcr , nt the Windsor
hotel Just one month ago yesterday was
commenced In the district court. The selec
tion of the Jury wa completed Wednesday
afternoon , three days having been consumed
In the operation , and the case was then ad
journed until yesterday morning.
Thn en no will be trie. ) before Judge
1 laker , but during the opening statements
In the case Judges I'owell and Krysor oc
cupied the bench lih the trial Judge. The
opening itntement for the state was made by
County Attorney Ilaldrlgi > , who detailed In
the most lucid manner the theory of. the
prosecution , that ( he murder was com
mitted In the most deliberate and cold-
bloodied manner and that nurroundlng cir
cumstances will bo proven to have been
such as to disprove the theory of man
slaughter.
Counsel for Klllott ma.lc no opening state
ment , merely saying to the court that the
defendant would rely simply on his pi fa of
not guilty , and would not make a statement
at the opening.
The prosecution bai thirty-six witnesses
summoned and expects to occupy about four
days In the prosecution of Its case. The dc-
frnsB has six witnesses and expects to oc
cupy not more than ono day. The rebuttal
will probably occupy another day , so that
thn case will undoubtedly occupy nil of the
time of the court until Saturday of next
veek.
The tailing of testimony was commenced
a.s honn ns rot-rt convened In the afternoon ,
the flMt wltrtni being Albert Randberg. a
photographer , who took photographn of Hut-
nnplllar ax the body lay In the morgue. Ho
iden'.ined the photographs which were In
troduced In evidence ,
Coroner Ilurket testified regarding the re
moving of Hutaonplllcr's body to the morgue
from the hotel.
Dr. 12. W. I.ce was the next witness. He
produced the top of HutHonplllcr'fl skull nnd
showed to the Jury the places where the
murdi'r-'d rr-an wa.i struck. Using the county
attorney ns a model the witness described to
the jury ( lie fracture In the iikull , extending
aoroiH the top of the head from ear to ear.
The Hkull Identified as HutHonpillcr's was
In oi'verai pieces , the broken edges fitting
exactly. The wltnros said ono of the bones
of HutHonplllcr'n throat wa broken and the
cartilage chewed evidence of great pressure.
Hither the blows en the head or the pressure
on the tiuon' would have caused death , ac
cording to the witness. The cross-exami
nation was cr-nflncd to technical questions
on anatomy , with ccpcclnl reference to the
structure of the head and throat.
Dr. Towno UHtlHcd that the blows on Hut-
Konplllcr'K head had been administered either
while ho was In n Htooplng position or lying
on hlaace. . He also admitted that the vic
tim might have been sitting down when ho
was Htruck.
Dr. Hlythln corroborated the evidence of
Dr. Towno.
Stewart Stough , clerk at the Windsor hotel ,
was next sworn. He said he first saw Ulllott
on November 9 , when he came to the hotel
and engaged ; i room for himself and a friend
whom ho ald wen In the hospital. Klllott
and HiiK.onplller came to the hotel together
the next afternoon and were assigned to
room 19 on the third floor. The day of the
murder Kllott ceme down the htalm about
1:20 : p. in. nnd called Hutsonplllcr , who wau
sitting In the ofllco. Hutsonplllcr followed
Klllntt up stairs und that was the last time
the witncth saw him alive. About an hour
later Hlllott earnc down , paid his bill and
went out. About T : ZO the chambermaid called
the wltnam and ho followed her to Hiitson-
plIler'H room , where he found the body. Ho
described the appearance of the room , the
body lying ucrc ? the bed and covered with
a blanket. The face , he raid , wan covered
with a towel but this was not over the nose
or mouth. The cross examination of this
witness did not elicit anything , the evident
Intent being to show that the room occu
pied by Hulfionplller nnd Klllott might havu
been entered from n flat roof adjoining the
window In the room.
John McDonald , an architect , was called
and Identified a plat he had made , showing
the room In which the murder WEH com-
, mltcd ( , the hallway and adjoining roorna ,
after which the plat waH offered In ovldcnce.
\V. K. Swcezey. n reporter on The Ilee ,
testified that ho found the coupling pin with
which the murder had evidently been com
mitted. It wan lying near the waBhstanft
and had blood and hair on one end of It.
A piece of paper WOH lying over the coup
ling pin and had spots of blood on It. The
witness also testified an to the general appearance -
pearanco of the room.
J. A. Kuller , druggist , teotlfled that Ilut-
sonplller and Jack Vannoy visited lil.s store
the Sunday before the murder and Hutsnn-
plller tendered a $100 bill In payment for
a proscription. The wltncsH changed the
bill and det.cilbcd the bills Klvcn In change.
The county attorney took from an envelope
n roll of ironey and handed It to the wlt-
ne 3 , who said the bills were ( similar to those
given to Huttionplllor.

The popocratlo contest yesterday was still
more farcical than before as for ns any
development of evidence was concerned.
Tho' bulk of the time was occupied In qulb-
Idcs and controversies between the nt-
torneya on mutters that hail no possible
: onncction with the case , and only served
the purpose of prolonging the Investigation ,
nnd adding nnother per diem to the pros
pective fees of the notaries , stenographers ,
and attorneys. Senator-elect John 11. Kvans
was the first witness called , and his testi
mony amounted to nothing rnoro than the
fact that ho had paid his campaign nnEcss-
tnent of $300 , and had afterward donated
$100 additional.
T. W. Illackburn. chairman of the con-
grcffllonal committee for this district , tes
tified tlmt Mr. Mercer had paid him $550
to pay the expcnsou of the campaign. This
imount had been expended for printing ,
lull rent , and ether legitimate expenses
of the campaign. None of his efforts had
iny relation to the legislative contest.
K. P. Dnvls , chairman of the republican
Hy central committee , stated that the
committee had had $3C5 r.ltogother , most of
which had been expended. It went for
ofllco work nnd supplies and for printing
ho sample ballots. It was expended solely
n the interests of the elty ticket.
James Walsh testllleil that ho had charge
of the campaign In the country precincts.
In that capacity ho had expended $200 for
a canvats of the district and for teams to
haul voters on election day. Ho knew noth
ing about what was expended In Omaha ,

The bids for city supplies for 1S97 are In

clearcly the lowest. The South Omaha Coal

40 cents per 100 pounds , Unless some

AMUSEMENTS.
The second concert of the Omaha Musical
society at the Crelghton Inst night wan de
serving of u much better audience than
greeted the chorus at the raising of the cur
tain. The size of the audience did not deter
the Koclety and the orchestra from doing
their best , however , nnd tho&e who were
present felt amply repaid for braving the In
clemency of the weather. Mr. Moore ex
plained at the beginning1 that the failure pf
Mme. Nordlco to keep her engagement had
necessitated nn cntlro change of program
and many o' the concerted numbers had been
prepared In less than a week. This In
formation was In the nature of a wet blanket ,
but hln effect was entirely dissipated early
In the evening.
There was n very noticeable Improvement
In the stage setting as compared with tha
rlrol concert. Irstcad of arranging the wlnga
and files so that the sound wn lost amid the
ropie and cobwt-bs under the roof the
stage was set to form the three sides and cell-
Ing of a room , thus acting as a sounding
board and giving the audience the benefit
of the efforts of the chorus anil orchestra.
The first number on the program wen the
ever charming overture from Semcrnmlilc.
This beautiful work of Kosslnl was rendered
In an artistic manner , for the most pnrt.
being slightly marred by the excess of zeal
displayed In several passages by the manipu
lators of the brass Instruments and the tyrn-
pan ) . An n whole , however , the number was
very pleasing nnd showed careful rehenra-
Ing. The last remark will apply with equal
force to alt of the orchestral numbers. Schu
mann's Symphony In E , a difficult number ,
was played with excellent effect and the
same Is true of the processional from the
second act of "Lohengrin. "
The second number was n song by Homer
Moore , being "Tho Evening Star. " from
"Tannhati&cr " The selection wan well suited
to .Mr. Moore's voice , and he was heard to
good advantage. 'He ' sang with feeling and
good taste , showing ; perfect control over a
volco of flno timbre. He was compelled to
respond to an encore
The Musical society was first heard In
"Nnblo Chief. " from "Life to the Czar , " by
Glinka. The selection opens with a male
chorus , which was somewhat marred by the
orchestra being too much In evidence. The
fllll chorUS sane WeJl. hnu-PVPr. nml ! !
liberally applauded. The chorus appeared
to better advantage In a song by Goctz with
harp obligate by Miss Wllhelmlna Lowe. .Mls
Lowe's excellent playing Is too well known
and appreciated by Omaha music lovers to
require extended comment. It Is sufficient
to say that she played with her usual pre
cision and artistic effect. The chorus nc-
quitted Itself admirably In this number , and
followed the lead of the director with excel
lent effect.
Mrs. Myron Smith of Creston , Ia.t pang
"Tho Itaft , " by Plniuti. The song Is a most
peculiar composition and not particularly
pleasing. It ohowa-d. . Mrs , Smith's rather re
markable volco to KOOI ! advantage , however ,
which may excuse It'o .lack of pleasing qual
ity. Mrs. Smith's voice Is of great range and
Is full ami rich In Its medium register , with
the upper and lower tones well developed.
Her method Is good , bnrrlng- tendency to
keep the mouth closed , thereby smothering
the tone. She sang well und was recalled
but declined to sing-again.
Harry Dtirkley , who Is becoming well
known to Omaha music lovers , sang "The
.Minstrel Doy. " The song Is well suited to
his mellow baritone voice and ho sang It well.
A double number for the violin was ren
dered by Franz Adelinann in the artliitlc
and finished manner which characterizes the
playing of this conscientious artist.
Miss Myrtle Coon sang the "Jewel Song"
from "Faust" In a pleasing style , which
received a generous applause from the de
lighted audience.
The final number was "The Inflammatua"
from "Stabat Mater. " The solo part was
rtung by Miss Marshall and she covered her
self with glory by her excellent rendition
of this beautiful Kong. The chorus wau in
fine condition for this
number and the HC-
Icctlon "went" with a vigor and ensemble
which made a fitting climax for a most satis
factory performance.
Nell Uurgefs' "County Fair" will be the
attraction at the CrelKhton tonight , opening
a two-night engagement. The play , which
IK a familiar ono to local patrons of the
drama , la promised to be In every way
equal to former productions of this popular
story of New England life. A matinee will
bo given tomorrow.
"The Merry World" will be the holiday
attraction at the Crflghton , opening n three-
night engagement Wednesday , December 23.
Matinees will be given Christmas day and
Saturday.
Only three more exhibitions by Edison's
vltascopo remain to bo given at Doyd's.
"Tho Morning Dalh , " n pcenc nhowlnp a
negro woman giving a bath to her baby.
Is very amusing nnd always receives hearty
applause. Other scenes that receive their
Bharo of approval are "Tho Durnlng Stable , "
"Tho Surf , " "Feeding the Doves , " "Cavalry
Charge. " "Tho Lone Fisherman , " and
"Catching a Runaway Horse. " Many should
avail thom.selvcs of these last opportunities
to view this marvelous machine. Manifesta
tions of pleasure were repeatedly shown
during the presentation of "Tho Lightning
Express" by the Dlttncr Theater company
Int-t night. Tonight "Uncle Josh" will bo the
bill.
There Is every Indication of n largo nnd
well pleased audience at Crclgluon hall to
night at the cntcrtAhiment to bo given for
tho' benefit of the Associated Charities. Mr.
Hans Albert and Mr. Hubert Cuscadon
will contribute violin , solop. and two bright
one-act plays will bo presented by casts of
prominent local amateurs , who have been
working Industriously at rehcnrsals for
tome ; time , and aru confident of giving n
smooth and meritorious performance. People
ple who attend a. charity entertainment do
not always expect to got the worth of their
money , but are content to pay what Is
exacted In the nanie of benevolence. In
this case an ample' equivalent will be ron-
dcred. The public. In attending this enter
tainment , will doubtless spend an entirely
enjoyable evening , nnd their pleasure will
surely bo enhanced by tha consciousness of
having helped along a most worthy object.
The Associated Charities are hard pressed
with urgent demands upon them at this
season , and need all the help they can
obtain.

The regular meeting of the Retail Grocers'
association was held last evening at the
rooms of the Commercial club. A vnat
amount of routine business was transacted
In addition to which some questions of gen
eral Interest tame up. After January 1 the
grocers will compile and print in book form
a lisa of all the- people In ) the elty who owe
grocery bills. At the present time this list
contains 3,000 names , exclusive of old ac
counts of several years' standing.
The fact was brought out that there are
several dealers In the city who pose as
wholesalers and solicit business from the
grocery trade , and at the same time operate
retail stands of their own. Dy representing
themselves as wholesalers they arc able to
buy of manufacturers on better terms than
the grocers , which places them In a position
to undersell the grocers In their retail estab
ligaments. The subject was discussed in all
Its bearings , but was referred without ac
tion.

Several letters were read from grocers'
associations In other cities congratulating
llic Omaha association on Its SUCCCEH In ad
vanclng the best Interests of the trade and
also giving some useful pointers as to the
different methods of handling collections.
Last , but not least. In Importance , the
grocers decided that they would rest from
their labors after the holidays were passed
and treat themselves to n banquet which
will I > D expected to Increase the feeling of
cordiality between members of the trade
and prpmotc general good feeling.
