In tbo district court yesterday Judge Maey handed down bis1 opinion In the case of Kate Payne against Llzzlo and Otis Letner , deny ing the claims of the plaintiff and ordering tlu1llsmlssil of the case at her cost. The suit Involved the title to a largo amount of real estate and farm lands once the prop erty of Spell Mlllen , one of the wealthy and eccentric characters In the early days of Council Bluffs. Miller had no children of Ills own and some tlmo before his death he concluded to glvo his property to Miss Payne and a nephew , Otis Letner , who were gen erally supposed to bo his adopted children. Iho will gave nearly all of the real estate to Miss Payne and all of the personal prop erty to the young man. When Miller died and hla will was probated It was found that a codicil had been attached cutting out Mies Payne entirely and giving nil of the property to Otis and to Llzzlo Lotner , another near relative. MUs Payne brought suit to break the will on the grounds that undue Influence jwaa exerted upon Miller , causing him to re voke the original will , and also asserting that bo was insane at the time the codicil was made. The case was tried before the court and occupied several days In Its presentation. Before Its conclusion Judge Wacy rejected the claim that undue Influcnco bad been exerted upon the old. man ami the decision -turned entirely upon the question of sanity , Judgment Is that the testator was of sound mind when ho added the codicil to the will.

Ho gripped tlio bars of his cell and swung his ponderous body to and fro < is he talked of police persecution and "tho lying evidence" of those who testified against him , Ho was bitter In his denunciation of the police and I'rof. Gcorgo Uorsey , the chief oncological witness against him. "I have kept quiet about what I thought of the case that was being made out against mo expressed no opinion during the trill because 1 thought by BO doing I might hi- Jure my case- , " said Luotgcrt. "Hut now I will say that In my opinion the case of the state la weak. It Is built upon lies. Why , Frank Odorofsky and Frank Lcwandowsky , those two 'Polacks , ' would swear to any thing. They are liars pure and simple. Neither of thorn worked for mo the week ending May 1. Odorofsky came to my fac tory on Friday , April 20. I had nothing for him to do and told him to come back again on Monday , Ho was not at the fac tory again , and all the evidence ho gave about what ho saw and did at the factory on Saturday , May 1 , was manufactured. I did try to maho snap In that vat. That Is the absolute truth of the matter. The soap washed out of the vat and I gave up the job. I had Intended to hire thirty men to scour the sausage factory from top to bottom tom and put It In first-class shape to be sold. , "Tho police treated Mary SlemmcrlnB Rhampfully. They persecuted her , bulldozed her and threatened her. They trleJ that 0:1 : mo when I was first placed under arrest , but I stopped them In short order. They could not put mo In the sweatbox. I knew my constitutional rights and Informed Inspector specter Schaack that he was not acting In thr > capacity of a trial court and that I did n < . have to answer any of his questions. He dropped me then. "Fulbek , who swore that Mary Slcmmerlng told him on May 3 that Mrs. Luetgcrt was upstalis In bed , Is a base falsifier. That fellow has not seen a sober day In jearn. He used to come to my factory Intoxicated , and when I ordered him away he'd say 'Don't drive mo away , LnetRert , ill rath inc. " He Is an Ingratc. Some people seem to think Out Luetgert's brain Is no good. They arc foolish. 1 remember things well. People who are under obligations to me went on the witness sland and swore against me. Some time In the future I may have something to say to these people. Mrs. Johanna Lceban , Fred Miller anrt Dledrlch Hlcknese de liberately falsified when they testified thrrt Mrs. Luegcrt always treated her children well. How could they know ? They only called at my house occasionally. "Dr. Dorsey , the bone expert , Is a very fresh young man. Ho thinks ho knows all about bonca , but In my estimation Dr. Walter Allport has forgotten more about osteology than Dorsey ever knew. As I have often Bald before , I believe my wife U still alive. I should not have been surprised If she had entered the court room any day during the long trial now nearly over. She will bo heard from yet , and then all the people who have lied about Luctgert will be shown up to the world In their proper light. I am an Inno cent man. My health and happiness have been deslsroyed by an unjust prosecution , and my fortune the result of years of toll has been swept away. Today , verging upon CO years of ngc , I find myself almost penni less and In the deepest thoublc that can come to man. I would like to have told my story to Iho- Jury , but my. couneel thought It bet ter to remain off the witness stand , Re luctantly I followed their advice. That Is all I have to say at this time.

The two principal questions that nre now agitating1 the whist community are , "Shall I show trump strcngtli , " or "Shall I show number of the suit led , " by the original lend. In support of the former we have ns au thorities Work , Howell anil Street , ( Mcli of mhom has n large following , but such noted writers us Cruend ! h. Visitor , Ames. Hamll. ton , Collln , Miss \Vhoelork and others ml- vocnto nn adherence to the good old "Amer ican le.ids , " that show numbers * . The pl.iyer of today must chooHO between the two. It must be admitted Unit large scores r.ie Kcnerallv made by "making" your IOIIR suit , and this can only be accomplished by dr.iwlng out trumps. Trumps of the adver sary cannot be exhausted , unless , nt the time of lending , thn total number In com bined hands of yourself and partner Is gienter than those of the adversary. Know- in IT' the number In your partner's hand , It Is very easy to decide whether n lead of trump Is desirable , conseauctttly It 13 of Kteat Importance to know how ninny trumps your partner holds However , are we not s.icrlllclni ? too much for this Informntlon ? Even with n preponderance of trump how often Is a long suit mndo ? Not once In six ImndH pl.iyed , A close comparison of scores mill show that 'the high scores arc , ns n rule , duo to the milking of one extra trick In a majority of hands. Kvery hand Is worth practically so many tricks , and Intelligent players know Just ho > w many , when Orrt looking at the cards composing that band. The player who makes nil the tricks his hands call for Is ti llr.st-class whist player ; * he Individual who can make one trick more than his band calls for IM nn expert whist plnyer. At what stage of the hand Is that one trlek Kcnernllv in.ule ? Undoubtedly nfter the tenth tilek. There are no statistics to show It , but If there were they would very likely show that the player who can count tbo cards In the different bunds at the tenth trick Is the one whose score proclaims him the expert player. But how can any player count the cards If bis partner declines to help him ? A lead , showing live cards of a suit , nt once ll\e a certain , number of cards in the leader's band , his play to other suits will give In formation In those suits. It requires a good player to count all t"io " cards , but it Is done so often Hint any ono can aspire to the position , ami when It Is considered that tills extra tilck la possible In a majority of hauls It would seem of great Importance to show number rather than trump strength. The trump call Itself Is made too often , nnd Itp universal use lends to many amusing1 errors. Tlio average player Is so Intent on watcMns for signals that he not only falls to sec other points fully as Important , but fre quently "jump1 * nt a conclusion" and makes a dls.istrous lead of trumps. Most good whist players know when to lead trumps without a cnll. Many v'ayers ' will not le'id trump from live or more ns an original lead unless the other cards in their hands wai- rant It. While this might be right nfter thr suits have been developed It is doubtful If It will win as an nrlnln.il lend. The chances are certainly one In three that the partner has at least one long suit , and the lead of trumps is most important. If he lias not u single long suit he can't have a short one , and his trumps are useless to him. Con sequently the lend cannot hurt him. With i it moderate hand , the knowledge that his partner controls the trumps enables a player to piny with more confidence , to tlnes.se deeper , nnd make tricks tnat might be sac rificed for lAnnt of such knowledge , there fore It la thought that , ns an original le.ul , Polo was right when he said "Wl'h live al ways lead 'em.

After the Navarch had been nipped by the Iceberg rtul the captain and his wlf * nnd two of the officers had been fortunate enough to leach open water In the gig , tbo others remained by their vessel as long as possible. The food supply rapidly became exhausted. Fifteen of the men died and finally the vessel \\ent to pieces and sank. The survivors tried to make their way south over tliti Ice , but soon round themselves ndrlft on a floe. For twelve days they floated with Iho oee.in currents , suffering the incut Intense torture from hunger. They were reduced to the verge of starvation and Iu thulr craving for food nto the skins with which they were clothed. Finally , alter all hope of rescue had been abandoned , the castaways wore sighted by tbo steam whaler Thresher and rescued. They were taken to Point Barrow and given every euro nnd attention.
