LINCOLN. March 20. City Attorney Con
nell of Omaha appeared beforo the supremo
court today and asked permission on behalf
of the mayor and city council of Omaha to
intervene In tho First nnd Police Commis
sion suit now pending. The request grows
out of the action of Governor Poynter last
week appointing a now Fire and Police com
mission In tho faco of a decision declaring
tho law giving him such power unconsti
tutional. City Attorney Conncll contends
that If the governor's action Ir legal, the
people of Omaha aro deprived of local self

HASTINGS, Neb.. Murch 20. (Special
Telegram.) District Judge Adams rapped
tho district court to order at o o'clock this
morning and tho notorious Horlockcr-.Morey
caso was ugaln taken up. Viola Horlockcr
nnd her sister, .era. occupied the same
scats they wero given yesterday. They wero
the enly women present during the morning,
but tho court room was crowded with men.
As soon ns the accused and her sister were
comfortably seated they unveiled themselves
and looked more unconcerned than many of
tho spectators.
Tho work of trying to secure a Jury was
continued until 10 o'clock, when tho regular
panel was exhausted. A recess was taken un
til 11 o'clock, during which time the sheriff,
and several deputies wero ordered to sum
mon thirty talesmen who were qualified to
serve as Jurors to appear. At 11 o'clock
court was again called to order, but not a
single talcsmnn materialized nnd court again
adjourned until 1 O'clock.
Court resumed business at I o'clock. The
clerk reported that live talesmen were prc
cnt who were quallllcd to servo ns Jurors.
Stcvena, nttomey for tho defendant, objected
because tho order called for thirty tales
men, but tho court promptly overruled tho
objection.
Stevens then had Assistant Clerk Ilrattcn
tnko tho wltnes.4 stand for the purpeso of
proving that tho sheriff bad not made any
record In tho clerk's olllco at to hla progress
In etccurlng tho talesmen ns ordered. The
defendant also objected to any of tho live
talesmen serving ns Jurors until the shcrlif
reported. This wns also overruled. At this
time thero were eleven men In tho box who
wero qualified to sit as Jurorp.
Attorney Stevens In questioning tho quali
fications of those summ'oncd to sit as Jurors
was very rigid und kept them under a con
stant crossflro of questions, and In nearly
every Instance he asked If tho talesmen wero
prejudiced ugalnst 11 defenso of Insanity.
All during tho questioning of the Jurors
Mlfs Horlockcr sat with her hend resting
on her hand, leaning slightly forward In
order that she might catch every sentence
and word uttered. On account of her legnl
ability she understood all legal terms and
showed elgns of appreciation whenever tho
occasion required It. Occasionally there wns
u vein of humor In tho questions and ro
plicu from attorneys to Jurors nnd this would
Invariably bring n smllo over tho countenance
of tho defendant.
Twelve Ciiiiiiictcnt Men Found.
It was 3 o'clock beforo twelve men were
found who were qualified to serve upon the
Jury. Tho peremptory challenge of tho Jury
was arranged as follows: Stute, one; de
fenso, three; state, two; defense, three;
stute, one; defense, two. Out of thirty
talesmen summoned, all were examined for
tho Jury with tho exception of six. Tho
result of the peremptory challenge us It
now stnndj assures that six Jurors have
been secured. The attorneys concerned feel
that tho Jury will bo eeloctcd tomorrow
morning nnd tho first witness put upon the
stand after dinner.
Tho Hrst women to enter tho court room,
basidcti Viola Horlockcr and sister since
the caso began wero admitted at 2 o'clock
this afternoon und took scats In one corner
of tho room. Shortly after this thero was a
large crowd 0 women ushered In which sat
throughout tho entire legnl proceedings,
which wero tiresome and monotonous. There
wero between 300 nnd 400 people In tho
nudlenco throughout tho day.
The- only time Miss Horlockcr seemed to
be affected In any manner -was when a
clergyman, at whoso church MI3S Horlocker
used to sing, entered tho room nnd seated
himself -whero ho could look her full In
tho face. It was then that oho covered her
faco with her hand and looked n If she
might bo weeping, but she soon rallied nnd
took her former position, with her head
resting upon her right hand und her Jet
black eyes riveted upon tho men In the Jury
box.
Court adjourned at 5:30 this nftcrnoon
until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
