ESTIFYIXG ABOUT MURDER

Witness 80 Far.
COUNTY ATTORNEY MODIFIES CHARGE
Froaeeattoa Coaelades that It Will
Ket Eadeavor to Coavlet Bader
Mlaa of Harder la the
I First Decree.
In the trial of Beder Mlna yesterday
morning the witnesses were Nadro Bolus,
Wadeeh Saidy and Alfred Saldy. The" last
two offered testimony similar to that given
by Joseph Saldy yesterday and Bolua waa
the principal witness' of the session.
He said that he had lived with the Saldy
family near ' Thirteenth and Hlckoty
treeta and that he and Najaab Saldy, who
was stabbed November 30, went with
Wadeeh Saldy to the Mlna store on the
morning of tbst day, and that Just aa they
reached the front door Joe Baardoweel
leaped forth with a club and began beat
ing them. Bolus ssys that at first he waa
the only one who fought and that while
they were engaged he noted that Mrs.
Mlna came out, shouting: "Kill . them I
Hit them!" He . testified also that she
came' out a second time, and that at about
that time he noticed thatBaardpweel had
knife, whereupon he turned and ran. He
did not aee the stabbing, he said, '.'because
he kept right on going," nor had he seen
Mrs. Mlna pass tha knife. The cross-ex-amlnatlon
developed that he (Bolus) had
had a fight tha preceding day with Baard
oweel over a love affair.
In thla cross-examination the attorneys
for the defense sought to bring out also
that Bolua had made threats against
Baardoweel In the hearing of Henry
Ehrensfort of the grand, Jury, but the
county attorney contended that thla waa
not admlssable testimony unless It could
be proved that these threats had been car;
rled to Baardoweel as a warning.
The witnesses ' of the afternoon were
Rose Kendls, Augusta - Reesrer, Maggie
Daahlr and Mrs. Attoor Saldy, k'tit none of
them threw any considerable new light on
the affair and none have yet given specific
testimony to having aeen Mrs.. Mlna give
Baardoweel the knife with which he did
the stabbing. - -

The various partlea interested In the
trial 'have bad a desperate wrestle with
tap names of the principals. The victim
haa been everybody, from Needgha Seedy
to Nad J lb Saydle. The man who . knifed
him has been everyone, from Job Ahrdlwlll
to Joeb Ardwell, and the woman now on
trial has been everybody from Bahder
Meenle to Bayder Mlno.

After adopting a resolution complying
with the bar association's request' for a

sioners yesterday devoted Itself to busi
ness, in most ot which politics wsa In evi
dence. .
Peter O'Malley, the new head ot the
auditing department, announced that he ap
pointed A. J. Webb as his ssslstant, but
requested that Halfdan Jacobaen and W.
R. O'Shaughnessey be allowed to remain In
the office through the remainder ot the
month to assist In the checking up. O'Keeffe
moved that the board concur, Ostrom sec
onded the motion and It carried with only
Connolly dissenting.
Ed Dee, superintendent of the court
house, announced the appointment ot Au
gust Stock as janitor, vice Phillip Wagner.
Again Connolly demurred. Implying that
the reason Wsgner wss knifed - was be
cause he had worked, strenuously to secure
the election of Commissioner Harte's dem
ocratic opponent the last time Harte ran
and that Harte had been waiting ever
since for an opportunity to get even. , Ho
feldt voted with Connolly, saying that he
believed as'Connolly did.
Later, when Connolly tried to ' have
Thomas Van, a colored man, put on aa
Janitor and Patrick Ford displace Thomaa

upon. ,
Kaocks Oat Jacebsea.
A resolution of ' Harte's called for the
employment or Halfdan Jacobaen as a
spsctal assistant In auditing - work for
three months, which gave Connolly an op
portunity to remark that the republican
members could not persuade him to assist
In raking out the chestnuts that had been
thrown Into the fire when the republican
members had, a few moments Wore,
ousted thla republican from oflloe, Ostrom
raised the point that Harte's resolution
was out of order because it sought to give
the commissioners ' the appointive - work
that had already been delegated to the
heads of departments and Harte withdrew
the resolution.
In routine mattera the board made more
rapid progress. The contraot for furnish
ing the prescriptions ordered by the as
sistant county physician at South Omaha
waa awarded Howard Meyer,, who had bid
10 cents per prescription.
Sheriff Power's appointment of Thomas
Flynn, James C. Swift, Thomas McClen-

was concurred In.
Ostrom'a resolution that . the committee
on court house and jail be authorized . to
