GREGORY IS ON TRIAL AGAIN
Pliced in Jeopady for Shooting Constable

EVIDENCE IN 'AND CASE IN JURY'S ' HANDS

Ntorlfi of the SliootliiK
The trial of J. A. Gregory for shooting
nnd dangerously wounding Constable Ihinlln
Moss nt Loveland Inst October occupied the
attention of the district court all day Wed
nesday. The ovldonco wns all In by the lat
ter part of the afternoon and at 0 o'clock the
case was given to the Jury.
The case attracted even more attention
than the previous one , In which Gregory
wa tried for shooting nt the officers .who
arrested him after his wild drlvo across
country with Joe Morgan , ton of o.x-Sherlff
Morgan , and the court room was thronged
the entire day with an Interested crowd
of spectators.
The jury having been Impaneled before
the adjournment of court Tuesday evenIng -
Ing , the Introduction of evidence for the
stnto was commenced ns noon as Judge
Thorncll took his seat on the bench. The
first witness placed on the stand was Joe
Morgan , who acted as Gregory's driver dur
ing tbo tatter's ride across country tn his
effort to get out of the country , after shootIng -
Ing Moss.
.lor Mnrunn'N Testimony.
Morgan testified as to accompanying MOBS
to the tent where Gregory was ; to the shootIng -
Ing of Moss by Gregory and how ho ( Mor
gan ) was compelled by Gregory to get Into
MCBS' wagon , take the reins and drive the
team untl ) the horses played out and Greg
ory secured a team from _ Farmer TIarks.
Ho told how after they had started from
the grading camp nt Loveland , Gregory ,
who was sitting In the rear of the wagon ,
loaned forward and took his ( Morgan's ) re
volver from his pocket and how he threat
ened to blow out his brains If ho did not do
exactly as he ( Gregory ) directed. The wit
ness told his story In a remarkably clear
manner and on cross-examination , despite
the efforts of the prisoner's attorneys to
confuse him , did not deviate from his origi
nal testimony.
Following young Morgan , Hardln Jtoca ,
the Loveland constable and victim of Greg-
ory'8 expert markmanshlp with a revolver ,
was placed on the witness stand. Ho worn
the same coat he had on the day he was
shot and before taklg his scat stood in
front of the Jury that they might ate for
themselves the hole made by the bullet.
MCKS has not yet recovered from the wound
nnd still carries the bullet In his shoulder.
He Is somewhat crippled by the wound and
was unable to assume an erect position
when seated In the witness chair.
.lloHM * Krnphlc Story.
JIoss described In a graphic manner the
story of his arrest of Gregory In the tent
nt the grading camp at Loveland and how
Gregory shot hUn. Ho said that after find
ing Gregory In the tent ho told him to con
sider himself under arrest. Gregory askccl
him on what charge and ho told him for
stealing a mule. Gregory asked permission
to finish his dinner , which ho ( Moss ) granted ,
Moes said ho asked Sharp , the boss of the
camp , to keep an cyo on Gregory while he
finished his dinner and Sharp refused ,
When Gregory had finished eating he asked
If ho might get his overcoat and Moss salil
ho might. Continuing his evidence Moss
said :
"As wo started for the door of the tent
1 said to Joe Morgan : 'I guess wo had bet
tor search the boy before we start. ' Grog-
o'ry was behind mo and as I turned around
I never was moro surprised In my life.
Gregory was holding a big revolver In both
hands , leveled straight at me. It was the
most desperate looking gun I over saw ot
ever want to sec. Then Gregory says tome
mo : 'Hold up your hands ! ' I held up my
hands as high as I could , Just as nn ordi
nary citizen would have- done , 1 guess , II
ho had been looking down the barrel ol
that big gun. Then Gregory says to mo :
'Glvo cno your gun. ' I told him I had no
gun and then he orders mo to turn around ,
I turned around Just as quick as I could ,
still holding up my hands , Just as If I was
reaching for the blue sky , like. Ho then
told mo to 'get' and Just as 1 was about
reaching the door ho fired and the bullet
struck mo In the back. I dropped , but
scrambled to my feet again , and as I did
Gregory rushed by me , ordered Morgan tn
Jump Into my wagon and take the lines ,
i The last I saw of Gregory ho was In the
back of my wagon with Joe Morgan driving
llko mad. "
Moss * description of the affair at times
created considerable amusement among the
spectators In court and the bailiff was fre
quently compelled to rap for order ,
Oilier TcNllmuiiy.
J. J. Wickham , who heard the shot fired
and saw Gregory Jump Into Moss' wagon ,
was the last w I Incus for the state. Ho testi
fied as to weighing a mule for Gregory thu
night before ho wns arrested , the mule being
the ono which be Is alleged to have stolen
from Laughlln of Ashland , Nob. , and for the
thuft of which Mous was placing him under
arrest at the tlmo ho was shot.
The defense placed no witnesses on the
itnml. Gregory's attorneys in their argu
ments to the Jury contended that Moss hail
no right to arrest Gregory without a w.ir-
rant and that Gregory had no moans
whereby ho know that Moss was an olllccr
of the law. Further that Gregory was Jystl-
lied In defending himself when Moss decided
to search him. Gregory , they said , had a
largo bum of money on his person and not
knowing that MIMH wns an officer was per
fectly Justified In refusing to allow hlmsoll
to bo searched by a stranger and the money
taken away from htm , They laid stress on
the fact that Gregory did not shoot when
placed under arrest , but submitted quietly
and It was only when Moss said ho was go
ing to search him that Gregory drew his gun
ami fired. Ho did eo , they contended , "as a
mere matter of precaution. "
Under the verdict in the case In whlcli
Gregory was convicted of assaulting Chlel
of Police Albro with Intent to commit grcal
bodily injury the longest sentence that he
can receive IB one year In the county Jail. II
the charge of assaulting with Intent to conv
mit murder bad been sustained he rouhl
have been sentenced to ten yours In the
penitentiary.

I'lllil liy > < < \v Motor Coinpniiy.
The city council met yesterday morning
as a committee of the whole and after In-
! spectlng the paved streets named by the
Omaha , Council Ultiffs & Suburban Railway
company In Its request filed Monday night
fixed the amount which the company will
have to pay for the paving should It lay Its
tracks on these streets and avenues. The
streets named in the company's request
wcro : Broadway , from Thirteenth street ta
Main street ; Xlnln street , from Washington
avcnuo to Sixteenth avenue ; Sixth street ,
from Washington avcnuo to Eighth avenue ;
Washington avenue , from Eighth street to
Main street ; First avenue , from Ninth street
to Main stroct.
There wns considerable diversity of opin
ion amcng the aldermen before am agree
ment could bo reached as to the sum that
the motor company should bo celled upon
to pay. Some of the streets named by the
company arc paved with cedar blocks , which
are now In a state of absolute decay , and
It was the opinion of several of the al
dermen that the company should not be re
quired to pay for such which today could
hardly bo called paving. Others believed
that as the property owners had paid their
money for the original Improvement they
were now entitled to receive at least a portion
tion of It back If the street car company
desired to occupy the thoroughfare and tear
up what was left of such paving , oven had
as It Is. A compromise was finally effected
and the railway company was charged a
small sum for such paving.
The committee agreed that the street car
company should pay 15 cents per square
yard for the cedar block paving en all
streets named Improved with that material.
The cedar block paving was laid In 1SSS ,
I
I or nt least the greater part of It was , and
cost the property owners $1.5C per yard.
It has completely rotted away on most of
the streets and is now practically worthless
as a paving. Most of the streets and nve-
I nucs originally paved with cedar blocks have
' been ordered repaved with vltrillod brick ,
j which , It Is hoped , will be carried out ths
year.
It was decided that the company should
pay the original cost of the granite block
j on Hroadway and South Main street , less
j f > per cent , this being the same sum taxed
to the old motor company. This granite pavIng -
; Ing was laid in 188C and cost the abutting
property owners $3.48 per yard.
Washington avenue between Eighth and
Main streets is paved with brick and the
committee decided that the company should
' pay the original cost of the Improvement ,
less 7V6 per cent. This paving was laid In
1 1891 and cost $1.SC per yard.
| The brick paving on First avenue- between
Eighth and Ninth streets was laid In 1892
at the cost of $1.36 per yard and the com
mittee Hxexl the price Unit the company
should pay at the original cost , less 7 > , pet-
cent. The brick paving on First avenue be
tween Pearl and Main streets was laid In
1S9C and cost $ l.il. : The company will have
to pay the original cost , less 5 per cent.
On Sixth street between Fifth and Eighth
avenues the brick paving was laid in 1SS9
ind is still in very fair condition. For the
paving hero the committee decided that the
company should pay the original cost , less
10 per cent. The cost of this paving was
$1,63 per. yard.
Manager Reed of the Omaha , Council Bluffs
& Suburban Railway company has not yet
j notified the city council whether he Intends
| to lay single or double tracks on the streets
named.

DES MOINES , Feb. 7. ( Special Tele

dealer , was placed on trial in the district
court charged with the murder of Frank
Moody , The case promises to consume a
great deal of tlmo and will not go to the
Jury before the latter part of the week.
The slnto attempted to prove from the
outset of the trial that Ilagerman threat
ened to kill Moody if the latter roturnc.1
to his houso. Attorneys for the defense
introduced testimony to show that Moody
wont to the house nnd after being ejected
| the iirst tlmo returned for the express pur-
t pose of picking a quarrel with the dcfond-
. nut. The testimony further tended to show
that Hagcnmin is phyck.illy a weak man
| and that through a prolonged Illness ho was
I winblo to muko any defense against his as-
i sailant , which ho believed nt that time
' was Moody'K Intention. When Moody came
, back to the homo ; he came after a warning
to remain away , but disregarding the ad-
1 ylco forced his way into the hall , when
' the shot was fired In self-defense.

D15S MOINKS , Feb. 7. ( Special Tele
gram. ) U Is prolmblo the Iowa legislature
will adjourn the first day of March , llycrs
of Shelby this morning Introduced a con
current resolution In the house providing
that the president of the * > 3tinto and the
speaker of the house declare their respective
bodies adjourned slno die , Thursday. March
1 , at noon. There Is a strong movement
on foot to adjourn the house at that time ,
although some believe It will be Impos
sible. As yet the legislature has not fulrly
organized and the first bills have not been
even considered. Conservative men declare
this evening that if the legislature con
siders all bills pending before that body It
will bo In sc.salon at Ica t until the middle
of April.
Though thcro has been little change dur
ing the last week In the situation regard-
In ? the Hoard of Control appointment to
succeed ex-Governor Larrabce , It continues
to bo the absorbing topic of discussion about
the legislative hallw. Tlie governor hna been
adhering strictly to the policy announced
by him when Colonel Hood was rejected by
the senate , that of making his second nomi
nation without the assistance of the news
papers. The newspapers , as well as the gen
eral assembly and the public In general ,
continue to be at sea and at the present
writing know no more of the governor's
plans than ho has cnrcd to tell that ho has
tendered the appointment to Colonel C. E.
Stnnton of Ccntcrvllle , who has declined.
That Colonel Stanton declined to nccept
the appointment was not surprising , because
before It was tendered to him It was known
by his friends that ho considered his busi
ness affairs In such a condition that they
would suffer If ho left them at this time , and
his loss In that direction would more than
offset his gain by accepting the appolnt-
mcntj Speculation now seems centered
upon four men. Major E. A. Constgny or
Avoca , ex-Senator II. L. Waterman of Ot-
tumwa , J. G. Hutchinson of Ottumwa and

With a view to the general modification
of the present building and loan statutes
Senator Garst Introduced a resolution hi
the senate this morning to request the at
torney general , wllhln the next ten days ,
to transmit to the senate his opinion upon
several Important questions bearing upon
present building and loan laws In Iowa.
Ho Is aski-d to glvo his opinion as to whether
the present law Is comprehensive enough
to give the executive council or officers
charged with the approval of building and
loan articles of Incorporation power to pre
vent the transaction of business by build
ing and loan associations or Insurance com
panies contrary to the laws of the state
or public policy. He' ' Is also asked If there
arc auy building anrt loan associations now
doing business Illegally ; In the state and , if
so , what constitutes the violation.
This morning the equal suffrage bill came
into the senate. It ( fathered by Senator
Perrin of Chlckasaw , who introduced It Into
the upper body two years ago. A bill Intro
duced by Harbert of Ilenton provides that
the auditor shall Include In his Insurance
report Information In detail regarding the
fompanles doing business in the state. Cot-
trcll of Plymouth Introduced n bill pro
viding that notice of obstruction'In public
highways may bo served upon an agent as
well ns upon an owner and Hlnklo pre
sented n measure specifying that the pen
alty for threshing machines damaging
bridges bo an imprisonment of thirty days
or a line of $100.
Six now bills came Into the senate this
morning. Ono by Craig provides for moro
restrictions on lifo Insurance companies In
making assessments. Ono by Wallace asks
for ? 37,9uO fcr the Boys' Industrial school

The commissioner of the General Land
ofllco has sustained the local olllco In Its
rejection of the filing of R. M. Snydcr to a
tract of land on the old Fort Sully military
reservation. At the time that tract was
opened to settlers the state was given a
preference right of filing on the whole
tract subject to any prior rights. Snydcr
and a number of olhcrs had squatted on
tracts of the reservation between the time
of abandonment of the fort and the opening
of the reservation to settlement and claimed
prior Tights under the law. The land de
partment holds In substance that they could
acqulro no rights so long as It was n reser
