INDA IS ADMITTED TO BAIL
Judge Gordon Announces Decision to Release
Him on $8,000 , Bonds.
BINDS HIM OVER TO THE DISTRICT COURT
Court Iloom nt Clcixo of Ilio Hearing
CriMVileil liy NiiecliUiirH
to KniMV .lu lK > ' m-i'lul
H.-KfirilliiKT Smith' * SJuyer
Four minutes after the closing arguments
of the attorneys In the Inda hearing were
finished Friday afternoon In the pollco
court Judge Gordon announced his decision
to hold Inda for further Investigation by
the district court at Its September terra nnd
to permit his release , pending the trial , on
bonds In the sum of $8,000.
In making known -the decision the judge
fcpoko briefly , referring to tbo cose and the
action recently taken by the Polish-Ameri
cana and tbo colored people resulting di
rectly from It. Ho said that when tbo crime
of murder Is charged against a person It is
natural 'that nationalities xhould become In
terested In the case , It was BO , ho con
tinued , with the race to which the man
belonged who was killed , Any act of his
with reference to the- case , ho said , ho wan
Impelled 'to take tiy a sense of duty. Ho
had not been prejudiced and he believed
the lawyers and Judges of the cUy were not
of a different opinion.
Judge Gordon stated he had looked up
tbo question ut bonds during tbo course
of the bearing and lie found It his duty
under 4he oath of office to hold the de
fendant for further Investigation by a jury
of his pcera. I
The stuffy little court room "was packed
i point of suffocation by spectators of the [
variety which habitually haunts the police
court In quest of the morbid and sensa-1
tlonal , Most of the crowd were friends of
, . . . i rrj ninu , curious to know how the
policeman who killed him would fare at
4he hands of the court. It Is doubtful If
many of the Third ward residents pursued
their customary vocations during the afternoon -
noon , aa tbero are very few who were not
present all the time the attorneys were
talking. Inda's wlfo and two little girls
sat on a bench by his side.
Deputy County Attorney Hclsley for the
state summed up 1lio evidence. IIo called
the court's attention to tbo testimony of
the physlclnnB , two of whom ho stated , ex
pressed the opinion that the occasion of
the colored man's death was 'the ' blood clots
on bla brain. The other two said the cause
ot death was a shock , Tills circumstance ,
he stated , was proof that the wound was
made by nn Instrument of some kind and
not by a bullet.
The testimony of other witnesses disclosed
that for a period of twelve or fourteen hours
before Smith's death his whereabouts could
be accounted for , and during this time his
good natura and soundness of mind and body
were apparent to everyone. From this fact
ho argued that the wound was Inflicted in the
hallway of the Jail.
Coniifll'N ArK'iinieiit.
Attorney Connell began his argument by un
enumeration of the Xacts that both sides con
ceded. Smith , he Bald , died from a wound
described by the physicians as extending
from the tip of tbo nose to the sphenoid
bone. The blow on the face struck by Inda
did not kill , this being admitted by both
sides , Four pli > slclans and two coroner's
assistants said the wound referred to was
ciuule by a bullet. If It was true that death
was duo to a pistol shot , Inda ought to be
discharged , ho CBserted , because even the
prosecution admitted Inda did not discharge
a revolver In the station ,
The attorney then went on to show on
the score of probabilities that the policeman
did not strike the colored man with an In
strument while they were In the station.
Had such a blow been struck , be said , It
must have been when Smith was cither
standing or lying down. The direction ot
the wound was proof that It was not made
whllo he stood erect on ills feet. If Inda
stabbed the colored man as ho lay on the
floor It would have been cold-blooded murder -
dor , and It tins not been proven that the
slightest motive for such an act existed ,
therefore , the attornpy argued , It was reasonable
enable to conclude that Inda did not make
the wound.
ArK'u'ii'i" of ShlrlilH ,
The closing argument was by County At
torney SlikUs for tbo state. At the out
set he said that Inda wan not prosecuted

Euer Such Fine Shoes
because of the demands of any class of people
ple , nor would the prosecution ccaso be
cause. Komo people had passed resolutions
condemning his actions before the evidence
was heard.
"If Smith was killed by a bullet. Inda
might OH well bo released , " said the county
attorney , "becauso he didn't fire a shot , we
concede that. "
"That wound was not made by a bullet.
When a bullet goes through solid matter
lllie cartllago the passage does not close up.
This wound did. Take an Instrument of
some kind and jab it Into n man's face ;
then draw It and the wound It leaves will
close up to all appearances the same as
ever. "
The county attorney laid particular
stress on the testimony ot Ofllcer Tony
I Vanous , who stated that ho saw Inda lean-
i Ing over the prostrate form of
' Smith In the station hallway. "If some
| few seconds paused when Inda was In the
presence of none of the oflicers tbero may
'
hove been the opportunity for the murder , "
was his iinirinntlon.
The county attorney then got off a few
rhetorical pyrotechnics that pleased the
spectators. Ho charged Inda with having
arrested Smith at the Instigation of Goldsmith -
! smith , a saloon keeper , whof he asserted ,
j violated the law every day of his life.
I Furthermore , Inda knew Goldsmith vlo-
j latcd the law , "Why did he not arrest
Gcldsmlth ? " the attorney thundered ,
"Why did ha arrest Smith ? I don't know , "
ho continued , "hut I can guess. Smith was
a 'digger , ' but for all that he had a heart ,
I ml.i testified that the had no murderous
Intent , yet I think thin Indicates he was
a little prejudiced in mind In favor of
white , violators of the law as against the
blacks. "
Till * ( Join-lulling KvlllrniT.
The last witness placed on Uio tand In
Judge Gordon's court yesterday morning at
the hearing of Policeman Anton luda was
Inda himself. The story he narrated of Inci
dents taking place the Sunday morning of
Jim Smith's death was the same in every
particular as that told at the Inquest.
Two witnesses were Introduced by the
I state whose testimony added new details to
the evidence already given. Both assorted
that at the time of tbo scuffle betwetn Irvla
and Smith In the jail hallway they huaid
cries of pain from some ono about the
station premises. The cries were "Oh , oh. " j
Ono of the witnesses Id u white man ,
Lowell Adolr , who admitted ho served time
In the Iowa penitentiary two years ago. Ills
memory regarding other Incidents of thu
morning thau the cries failed him com
pletely , and Attorney Connell called the
court's attention to the peculiarity of Adalr's
vivid remembrance of one Incident and his
complete forgetfulness of all others , Tbo j
second witness regarding the ' cries was
Frances Mitchell , colored , who was unubln
to tell whether the sounds came from the jail
or the street. The Mitchell woman did not.
answer civilly a single question put by the
attorney for the defense. There was a repe
tition of Thursday's scenes In court when
Aea Graham was on the stand. Spectators
were In un uproar almost continually , owing
to the woman's Impudent or stubborn re
sponses to queries. The court's tolerance of
the conduct of both witnesses and specta
tors elicited the charge from Attorney Con
nell that Judge Gordon's attltuda toward
the defense throughout the hearing has
been outrageous.
Wnulil-lle Niniirl U'KnoHN ,
Lowell Adalr occupied the cell ut the jail
In which Lewis wa locked when brought to
the station In company with Smith. Ha
tald he hoard a scuffling In thu hall Jimt
before Lewis was brought In , some time
after daylight , and then a body fell heavily
j to the floor. Following this tlioru were !
i cries of a man as If in pain , "Oh , Oh. " '
Under cross-examination Adalr said a
colored man came to him several daya later !
I to a k what he knew of the Incident at the
station. Adalr replied he heard a man fall
and cry out as if hurt.
Adalr's memory was poor regarding other
Incidents of the morning. Attorney Cou
ncil asked the witness If he was ever con
victed of crime. Adalr replied no. "Were
you ever punshed for felony ? "
"Yes. "
1 "Well , why don't you answer my ques-
tlowi ? " demanded the attorney.
! Judge Gordon then Interposed a request
to Mr. Connell not to be so severe with wlt >
nesses.
1 "If the court Is going to try to shield wit.
nesses , I won't , " replied the attorney , "but
I would like to know the facts. "
Adalr admitted ho served time In the
Iowa penitentiary last year for grand lar
ceny. Attorney Cor.nell aeked If he was In
FarnSrtorlh's ctoro the eight of the rob
bery and shooting , but the question was ob
jected to and Judge Gordon sustained the ob
jections.
When Attorney Connell finished ques
tioning Adalr the county attorney took him
In hand , "You may tell the court , " he In
structed Adalr , "whether or not any one
else In the cell with you heard the crloi
In the hall , and what comments were made , "
Adalr replied that a South Omaha man ,
whcfo name was forgotten , heard the yells
and remarked : "That's some poor cuss
the police are kicking the head oil from. "
Frances Mitchell , colored , substantiated
the convict's statements regarding the cries
of pain. The Mitchell woman sold she was
standing at the corner of Eleventh nnd
Dodge streets when Smith nnd Lewis , with
Inda , passed and went Into the jail. While
remaining there she heard cries of "Oh , Oh ! "
Under cross-examination Mrs. Mitchell
said the cries came from the southeast cor
ner of the building , but she could not tell
whether the sounds came from within the
Jail or not. The witness then feigned Ig
norance of points of the compass and replied
to questions by asking others Intended for
the amusement of spectators.
Finally Attorney Connell , wearied of tbo
wltnees' "continued breach of court ethics ,
turned to Judge Gordon with a protest. The
judge thought the questions might be
plainer. Upheld by the court , the witness !
became more Impudent than before and there j
was another appeal to Judge Gordon , who
said the question was not as plain as It
might he.
"Head the question , " sad ! the attorney to
the court reporter. As read , the question
was :
"I nsk you whether you heard any sound
coming from tbo east corner of the build
ing. "
"I am not n lawyer. This Is the first
time I have been In here , " was the reply.
"Now , I protest , " eald Attorney Connoll.
"Is the court going to permit this kind < of
conduct ? "
"Well , " said Judge Gordon , "I think you
can bo a little plainer with your questions , "
The Mitchell woman was dismissed.
The testimony of the other witnesses wa *
n repetition of facto regarding points which
have been dwelt on before. Ono after an
other testified to having seen Smith the
mcrnlng of his death and was positive lu
tli.-lr statements that the singer appeared
as bright aud healthy us ut > ual.

station knew Smith had been Injured until a

clared ho did not strike Smith with a weapon
of anr kind and had none on his person
