CLOSING OP THE \YEAD \ CASE
Evidence RogarJing Sobriety of Driver
Sitlencr Introduced ,
TESTIMONY IS SOMEWHAT CONFLICTING
in < li - Damage Suit
tlic Minmvxii. Motor
Coiiiiiiuiy
Ill-Kin.
The work of arguing tto Wwd damage
suit BRilnst the Manawa motor railway com
pany was begun jesterday in the district
court at Council HlulTs Two speeches were
made to the Jury during the afternoon and
two more will bo made today when the case
will be given to the Jury.
The fore part of the day was devoted to
taking evidence In rebuttal by both sides.
I'"or the defendant Cora Hounds , a hospital
nurse , was called to show that E. I ) Side-
ncr , the driver of the carryall , had bce'i
drinking when ho reached the hospital. It
was thought that he was hurt in the acci
dent and the hospital nurse removed his
bhoe and stocking to permit the surgeon to
examine his ankle. She testified that she
smelled liquor on his breath while she was
doing this Immediately after this testi
mony was given , Receiver Hannan was re
called to clear up some parts of his testi
mony , nnd under the lead of the attornevs
for the plaintiff , ho admitted that he had
given the driver some vIne after the acci
dent when It was thought he was hurt.
This was within half an hour before he was
taken to the hospital. Hannan's testimony
related to the blre of the load that was
being carr.cJ bj the vehicle He measured
the front scat upon which six people were
sitting at the time of the accident. It was
four feet two and three-quarters Inches
101115 and fifteen Inches wide. Tour people _
were riding backwatd and two facing the
team
Conductor W C. Morris , who had charge
of the train , testified that he left the Man
awa station a few minutes late , but did
not think the train was running at a gieater
speed than was usual at the point where
the highway crosses the track. Ho swore
that the whlstlo was blown after the train
passed the curve * and that the first premonl-
t on ho had of the aceidcat was when ho
felt the shock ot collision Immediately
after the shock ho felt the application of
the airbrakes This was an important bit
of testimony for the plaintiff , for It fixed
the fact that the train struck the- carryall
Mori Is also testified that he was the first per
son to reach Wcad , whom he found sitting
beside the track. The testimony of Morris
also estabilshoJ the approximate distance the
train traveled after the collis.on before It
was brought to a standstill , which was
about 178 feet from the crossing.
The chief e-vldence lutioducecl in rebuttal
by the plaintiff was to show that the charges
against the sobrlelj of Driver Sldencr were
without foundation Half a dozen witnesses
testified on thlb point and most flatly contra
dicted the evidence of the witnesses for the
defense. A number of them were members
of the party who went to the lake In the
carryall.
W. G Stecle of Omaha said Sldener was
under his observation nearly all of the time
before and after ho went across the lake ,
where it is claimed by the defense that he
spent his time drinking beer. He swore
positively that the man was not Intoxicated
and had not been drinking.
W. A. Gordon , who owned the carrjall ,
testified to the good character of Driver
Sldener and declared that he was not a
drinking man.
W. L Yoodcr , who accompanied Sidcner ,
swore that they were together all day and
that neither of them touched a drop of beer
or any Intoxicating liquor while they were
at the lake Sldenor's acclde-nt when he fell
Into the lake on the return trip was caused
by the small rowboat In which they were
rowing partially capHlzlng when they both
attempted to get out of It at the same time.
Miss Clara Huckly , another member of
the picnic party , testified that she saw Slde
ner after his return from across the lake
and was neirby when he was eating his
lunch She talked with him and was pool-
tlvo that he had not been drinking.
Other witnesses testified to the same ef
fect , and when this part of the testimony
was closed It was about a standoff , with
a blight preponderance In favor of the
sobriety of the driver.
Frank D tt'ead pointedly contradicted some
of the evidence of Conductor Morris , who
eworo that ho was the first person to reach
the injured man and carried him to the car
He testified that ho wns the first to reach
hjs brother and that ho carried him to the
train. Morris testified also that he carried
the * djlng man from the motor to the hos
pital. Wead again contradicted this by de
claring that ho carried his brother to the
doors of the hospital , whore he was met by
attendants with a stretcher.
During the course of the rebuttal testi
mony the attornes for the plaintiff made It
a point to bring out the fact that nearly
all of the witnesses for the defense vvero
either In the employ of the company or vvero
the holders of annual pases on the road and
Into the grounds.
Klnley Burke made the opening epecch to
the Jury for the plaintiff and was followed
by Smith Mcl'liorson for the defense Emmett -
mett Tinley will close for the defense this
morning nnd Judge Morsman of Omaha will
make the concluding argument for the plain ,
tiff.

I. S. Statrell , the Exlra attorney who
has been living at the Grand hotel for the
last ten da > s suffering from what' ' was sup
posed to bo an overdone of laudanum , was
removed to the Woman's Christian Associa
tion hospital Monday afternoon and an op-
cratlo was performeil yesterday to re
move a depression on the "brain " , which was
plainly manifested by the symptoms In the
eaco.
eaco.Up to Monday Statzell bad been improv
ing and arrangements had been made for his
removal to ) iln home , but a rclapso came and
it was thought best to remove him to the
hospital Instead. Ho has been unconscious
the greater part of the time since he has
been there and an operation was the only
way of raving his life ,
It now transpires that the depression was
causes ! by a. fall which Statzell sustained
whllo alighting from a motor car shortly
after his arrival in the city , the back of
his head striking the pavement very forci
bly. Hesldca the deprcs"lon the brain was
In u congested condition The patient was
In a fair condition at the close of tbo op
eration ami there are hopes of his recovery.
The re-port that ho had taken laudanum with
a suicidal Intent Is probably a mistake , as
he had evidently token the medicine to re
lieve the pain cause-d by the heavy blow
on the head Mrs. Statzell la in attendance
on her liusbum !

are now confident of carrying the ! iouso , and
while still doubtful ns to the result In the
senate , have reports which are decidedly
hopeful , The senate committee Is conceded
to bo very close , but the suffragists declare
confidently that hey have a majority of It and
that they have pledges from twenty-one mem
bers of the senate , with several others likely
to Join their forces ; twenty-six will be re
quired to pass the resolution in the senate. .

supervision , similar to state banks. U was
defeated at the iast session.
The democrats of the house will caucus
tomorrow on a manufacturing bill. Potter of
Bremcr , who Introduced the first bill and
then withdrew It , has drafted a now measure.
It provides that any town of 2,000 or more
may give consent by a majority petition to
manufacture. A township not containing an
Incorporate town may by a majority petition
give consent. The consent cannot be revoked
without consent of the manufacturer unless
It bo proved ho has violated the law. The
mulct tax cannot bo collected from manufac
turers. Obligations for the purchase of such
liquors are legalized and made collectible In
the courts No manufacturing plant can bo
within SOO feet of a church , school house or
other educational establishment. The meas
ure will probably bo adopted by the caucus
with little amendment.

Prof , nilsha Gray , the Inventor of the
tele-phono and the owner of a brain which
has been the means of making millionaires
of twenty men , ea > s the Ne-w York Herald.
Is cpendlng the evening of his eventful life
In poverty. Ono of the three greatest lai-
\entors of the centurj , he finds himself a
poor man at 03
He can sit In Ills place in Hlgh'and Park ,
111 , and call the names of a score of powcri
In the world of finance who havecaught hire
in A corner , found him without a penny and
fooled him Into selling his pttents for a
song. The pitiful lament of his latter dnja
Is that ho did not have a conservator ap
pointed when he had money. He now fears
he nny die without a cent.
Prof Gray knows his falling hotter than
any ono else. He has been up and down
Ho has matlo fortunes and spent them. He
has never hod any considerable amount cl
money that ho did not think It was enough
to last forever. He admits that It never
occurred to him to ben scientist for money.
Ho has never looked for nny return wve the
fame. lie once epent a jear In devising a
plan for an Improvement In the work of the
telephone. The Improvement was grabbed
nn nn attrlit. T * hrniinhi. hint n pbock fnr
$50.000.
He thought this was enough to last him
the biMncc of his life. Ho ordered his wife
and family to pack their trunks. They
sailed for Europe the next week. There was
nothing too good or expensive for them to
buy. They brought homo pictures , statuary
and art treasure * ) and the home was dec
orated like the palace of a king.
This season of extravagance was followed
by one of extreme want The professor be
came filled with an Idei that it would be
practicable to send autograph messages by
telegraph. The plan took 60 much of his
time that ho forgot to ( y the gioccr nnd
the butcher. The barn on his homestead be-
oimo his study. Ho boirowed all the money
he could get hla friends to loin him Thin
went for wires , batteries and machlnerv.
Ho became so filled with the scheme on his
mind that time and again he was carried bj
his station In his trips to Chicago for ma
terial. He lived likea man Li a perpetual
dream. The men who knew him knew that
something great was to transpire. They
waited
"The- time to deal with Gray Is when ho is
dreaJfully hard up , " slid the president of
ono of the telegraph companies. "It Is never
gcod business to make him an offer when
ho has money Ho has now on the string an
Invention which Is going to revolutionise tele ,
giaphy. Ho wants a big price for his idea ,
vhlch Is In practical work ng order Ills
figures are uvvay up. The thing to do Is to
vnlt until his bills get away up. Ho will
then sell for a sonc "
Prof. Gray Is getting to the point where
ho will sell for a song. It has rome to the
point wheic boiulcrs have been tiken in the
homo to help meet the bills. Ho has lost his
buojancy of spirit and has descended to tlie
piano of nn ordlnarj grinder fnr an ordlnarj
salary The big shop which was erected for
his use has practically been abandoneJ The
fires In the plant are smokeless and , pont up
in his llttlo study , which has been shorn of
the pictures bought in golden dajs ho has
been compelled to abindon his plans of
science for science's sake , and is now trjing
to rtcotir his fortunes by working in the
most commonplace lines. He spent the last
joai In improving a blcvcle lamp.
The Improvement was quickly gobbled up
by a man who hid monev and paid cash
the smallest possible fraction of its actual
worth.
This trait , possibly more than h's great
ness , baa madt > him one of the most sought
after men In Chicago His neighbors have
been most solicitous about him. Men of
money have been keeping tabs on his habits
for a quarter of a eenturv.
There were two ycurs In which ho was
working over the telautograph that ho < 1 d
not have a caller The moment he put the
thine to an actual test his house was
thiongeJ with people who were so Intensely
interested In him that he could find no time
for his research. A company was organized.
A majority of the stock was sold In Now
York. His little hliare has since disappeared.
The company which now controls the Inven
tion has about brought It to actual perfec
tion , and Prof Graj will get nothing.
Tills sort of thing has been going on so
long that ho has como to expect it. He first
met hard luck In 1875 Ho had spent years
In his laboratory Improving his plan of the
speaking telephone. He had the thing per
fected and sent the caveat to Washington.
There was a leak In the patent office. A
man who had lile-l his application some
months before called and withdrew it. Ho
said ho wanted to make some modifications
in his specifications. The very plans In
Prof. Gray's papers were Incorporated In
hla own. A lawsuit followed betwpcn thn
two patentees. Prof Gray was defeated
despite the best ho could < lo. All ho got
was a right to collect royalties on certain
parts Ho profited by this for a time and
wus then fooled out of it

Horace Bolew made on address on the finan
cial question hero tonight. It was Ills first
utterance on the subject since the publica
tion of the widely quoted letters In which
ho denied the sacred and Irrevocable nattiro
of party platforms , and Insisted that the
battle for free coinage of sliver nt the ratio
of Ifi to 1 having been fought under the most
favorable circumstances and the democrats
defeated nt the polls , the democratic party
should abandon the financial plank of 1SDG
and endeavor to rally on new ground.
His speech tonight embodied a plan for a
redeemable government currency upon
which ho thinks nil democrats should be able
to agree. Ho said :
In less than another decade the mtlona
banks will hold the ptn.se-stiliiKH of till
government , mill In the United Statrw ml
wield n power before which thrones Imv
crumbled nnd republic have dl'ipppirci
