SulnnlKril o tlie Court.
The evidence for the1 stnte In the trlnl
of Attorney W. P Cowan , charged with
subornation of perjury , In the district court ,
was all In yesterday afternoon and one w It-
ness for the defense had been placed on tlie
stand when Judge Smith adjourned couit
until Monday morning.
The first witness for the state wns Wnl-
lace Hanford , the proprietor of the livery
barn in Carson where young Johnson was
employed. Ho testified as to Cowan's visit
to Careen in company with HI Miller of
Council Bluffs. He said Cowan told him
he was an Omaha attorney and was defend
ing a couple of young fellows who liad got
Into trouble over stealing chickens. Cowan ,
ho said , wanted to show that the two men
had stopped In Carson the night Uiey were
charged with stealing the chickens. It
happened , however , that the witness vvns
not in Carson that ntglvt , so Cowan asked
him who had charge of the barn that day.
Hn.nford proved n most reluctant witness
and the county attorney had considerable
difficulty In getting him to answer his
questions. Whllo under cross-examination
Hnnford became excited at the manner in
wlilch the attorney for Cowan was ques
tioning him nnd blurted out exactly what
the county attorney had failed to draw
from him. This , was that Cowan wanted
him to testify falsely on behalf of Law
rence and Tracy , until he found out tiiat
he , Hanford , was not in Carson that night
he wanted to prove the men v\cro in Careon.
Ed Dulln of Carson tesllfled as lo receiv
ing a telephone message from Johnson to
go to the barn and get the cash book and
take It and hold It until Johnson should re
turn home.
Al Morgan , Jailer nt the county Jail , testi
fied as to the visit of Cowan and young
Johnson to the jail nnd that he refused to

Dr. J. A. Tucker was arrested this morn
ing by the sheriff. Ho is wanted at iMarshall-
town on a charge of having obtained money
under false pretenses. The sheriff of
Marshall county arrived this morning with
a. warrant for Tucker's arrest. The com
plaining witness against Tucker declares
that ho obtained $250 from him by falsa
representations. It seems from the state
ments of the complaining witness that Tuo-
ker represented to them that they were
suffering from a disease. The doctor de
clared ho could , cure the disease for $125.
This was agreed to and before the com
plainant had been cured his wife also took
$125 worth of medicine. They declared that
the doctor only gave them two GO-cent bottles
tles of medicine. The authorities have been
looking for Tucker on this charge for some
time They have made repeated efforts to
get him in this city , but have failed each
timo. ,

mittee in a day or BO and when it does Drake
