LINCOLN , Neb. , Sept. 15 ( Special Tele
gram. ) Tbo hearing of the mandamus case
against the Society of the Home for the
Friendless was completed today , the wit
nessed for thu society occupying all the
forenoon , E. n. Ilrown , Mrs. Williams , C
II , Gere and Mrs. Davis wore on the slam
and Judge Hroady , for the society , MI
dcavorod to draw out evldcnco to show Uia
the state had never assumed any contro
over the homo nor taken any Interest In It
until recently , and that the society had man
aged It , solicited funds to operate It , and
tuuumed all the responsibility for the lasl
fifteen yearn , The arguments were hean
this afternoon. Attorney Ucncr.il Smyth am
Deputy Smith revlowod the case on behalf
of the state , and Judge Hroady made the
nrgtimont for the society , The contention o !
the latter was that the state had made an
Implied contract with the society In the past
in which the society was to bo left In charge
ot the homo. Ho also argued that a writ of
mandamus was not the proper proceeding
At the qlose ot the arguments , Judge Holmes
rendered a decision on ono point In the case
which Was that the homo It a state Institu
tion. Ho took under advisement the points
as to whether there was an Implied contract
between thd state and the society and as
to whether the proper proceeding had boon
brought.

A casa recently brought to the supicmo
court for review Is that of Martin Kazda
ngalnst the State of Nebraska. Kazda was
arrested for selling liquor In the city of Tc-
vumseh without first having taken out a
license. He was tried In pollco court and
.sentenced to pay a flna of $25 , but appealed
to the district court , where a jury found him
guilty and a $ GO flno was Imposed. In bring
ing the appeal Karda sets up the claim that
the district court was without jurisdiction
to try the case for the -reason that the bond
of appeal from the police court was defective
and Insuinclent , so as to bo wholly void. Ir
regularities In the original complaint arc also
charged. The brief Just ( lied by the attoi-
ncy general on behaK of the state argues
that Ka/dii Is C9toppd from setting forth
the liiBUlllciency of the bond on account of
the old familiar rule that no ono should be
permitted tn take advantage of his own
wrong. The attorney general also quotes au
thorities to show that the original complaint
was stilllclent.
