TWO NEW WITNESSES ARE INTRODUCED One of Them Swears that Defendant Appeared Kervona oa the Day Before tha Marder of Her Haaband. DAVID CITY, Neb., Feb. 16. (Special Telegram.) One week has been taken up with the Llllle murder case and far greater progress made than was anticipated. It waa the general opinion that it would take at least one week to procure a Jury, but Friday forenoon the Jury waa aecured, aworn to try the case and the attorneys made their statements of the case before the noon hour. When court adjourned Sat urday night six witnesses for the state had testified. Five of those gave testimony that was even more direct and positive thsn at the preliminary hearing. One, Mrs. Agnes Hall, was not called at the preliminary examination. Her evidence waa decidedly strong for the state and it must be ad mitted that so tar the state bas made as strong, If t.ot stronger, case than at the preliminary hearing, when It had examined the same number of witnesses. By permission of the court and the at torneys In the case the Jury, accompanied by Sheriff West, Deputy Varln and Bailiff Hackworth, attended church yesterday morning at St. Luke'a Methodist Episcopal church. The citizens of David City are not ex cited, but are taking considerable interest in the case, which Is the most Important In the history of Butler county. The cross-examination of some of the witnesses clearly indicates that one of the points of the defense Is the condition of Mrs. LUlle's mind on the morning the crime waa committed. That the different statements It Is claimed she made as to where the burglar stood were owing to the condition of her mind at the time, and therefore she was not capable cf saying Just where he did stand. Forty More for State. The state has forty witnesses yet to tes tify, but with some It will only require a short time. Counsel for the defense say If it becomes necessary for them to offer any testimony they will probably have about thirty witnesses. Hon B. F. Good, the presiding udge, is being complimented for the fair and Impartial manner in which he is conduct ing the trial and not permitting the wast ing of time with superfluous oratory. When co'irt convened this morning there waa a very light attendance. Dr. H. E. Burdick waa the first witness. He said: "I was one of the managers of the David City hospital." His testimony as to the examination of the wound and the autopsy was substan tially the aame as at the preliminary hear ing, and corroborated the evidence ot Dr. Beede In this respect. Dr. M. V. B. Sample, coroner of Butler county, was the next wlrness. His testi mony as to the location ot the wound and tha impaneling ot the coroner's Jury and autopsy was the same as at the preliminary hearing. Ballet la ETldeaee. Witness testified to the fatal bullet that waa found In the brain of Harvey Lillie. Thla was admitted as an exhlbl. and was examined by the Jury. The attendance thla afternoon waa much larger than In the forenoon. The court room waa fairly well filled. The direct ex amination of Coroner Sample waa con tinued. The' defense objected strenuously to witness testifying as to any statements Mra. Lillie made to the coroner's Jury at the time of the Inquest. The greater por tion ot the afternoon waa consumed in arguing the question and the citation of authorities. Judge Good took the matter under advisement and announced that he would decide the question tomorrow morn ing. The witness was excused for the day. Mildred Showalter waa the next witness. She said in part: "I was sewing for Mrs. Lillie in the month of October. I waa there on the 23d day ot October. Mrs. Llllle Went uptown between 3 and 4 o'clock. The only remark that I heard her make was that ahe waa going up to Mr. Bennett's to settle with him. 8be came back a few minutea after 4. A short time after ahe came back ahe said the bank waa cloeed and ahe had aome money that she did not like to leave In the house. I heard her aay that Mr. LI'lle had nothing In the house to defend himself ex cept an old rusty revolver. Since the mur der Mrs. Llllle wr.ote me to come and see her, that there waa two points that ahe thought I could clear for ber. She aald at thla time that ahe did not aay anything about the money." Defendaat Was Nervous. Cross-examination elicited nothing more. Blanche Kraft, flie next witness, aald in part: "I was sewing for Mrs. Llllle at the time of the murder. I saw Mrs. Llllle at 'the telephone three tlmca on October 23. The last time waa about S o'clock. Mrs. Lillie went uptown between 3 and 4 o'clock, she said to bank aome money and to Bennett'a. I aaw nothing unusual with Mrs. Lillie on the 23d, only she talked frequently about the bloodbounda being poisoned. After Mra. I.lllle came from town ahe said the bank waa closed, that she had a sum of money that ahe did not like to have In the bouse and asked us girls If we would not be afraid. I have heard her apeak about there being an old rusty revolver in tha houae. Mrs. Lillie talked to mi since the murder and aald if I testified about her being nervous and about the gate being open that (t would go agalnat her. I think this waa on Monday after the murder on Friday. I never heard Mra. Llllle aay any thing about having money In the house be fore." 1 The cross-examination of the witness elicited the fact that Mrs. Li'lie waa very nervous the day before the murder. The last two witnesses did not testify at the preliminary bearing. John D. Sprague waa the next witneas. He was a member of the coroner's Jury. Witness Identified the bullet as the one taken from the brain of Harvey Llllle at the time ot the autopsy. It Is a 32-call-ber. The evidence of this wltneaa up to the adjournment waa substantially the same aa the preliminary hearing. Knights to Hold a Ball. TECL'MSEH. Neb.. Feb. 16. (Special.)

Payne ot tho Boxmakers and Sawyers' union, who delivered a, short address eulogizing the work done by Mr, Mitchell for the cause of organized labor. Operators Give Way Jnat In Time. Mr. Payne then introduced Henry D. Lloyd of Chicago, who spoke in part aa follows: There was a louder cry for federa1 bayo nets In Pennsylvania In 1902 than In Illinois In 1894, but the cry was not answered The troops did not move. There waa a soldier In the White House, not a corporation lawyer, and the soldier knows what the proper uses of soldiers are. But the soldiers might have gone In It tne coal monopolists had held out forty-elg.it hours longer In their piratical policy of 1 amine anu denance, nut not to neip tne in drive the miners into the mines. The sol diers might have gone In to keep the r-aee, while federal Judges took posses sion of the mines as receivers by rtue pro cess of law and Invited the miners In the name ot the people to mine coal for the people. VV here Cleveland gave us military usurpa tion and government by Injunction Roose velt has given us arbitration, the boldest and greatest act of recent statesmanship. VN hen the people ot America helped Mlt- ; cneu and tne miners tney were Helping themselves. The whole people of America have before them the sume fight with the same would-be maxter. Let us hope we may nnd In our time of need aa good a leader as the miners found. That affair in the valleys of Pennsylvania was the tlrst real uprising of the people agulnttt monopolists, a .id It waa on; the flrat. Aa always, the organised working man furnished the "forlorn hope' of liberty because they were organised. Munoollt Resisted by Labor. The men who claim to be the "mastere" -of labor In the coal industry claim to be tne masters of the consumers, or the people, or ua In the market. They mean to be the mastera of laborer and of consumers In all markets. They are all the aame men. It ia all one great conspiracy, and the con spiracy haa gone so far that the more pros perity the country enjoys the less the peo ple get of It. Mitchell and hla miners gave that con spiracy Its first black eye. They whipped It to a finish, and with their atarvlng bodies oullt a wall to protect ua, tt'elr country men. Had these men broken the miners of the east they would have attacked the miners of the west. They would have attacked, one after the other, all labor organizations and then they could have duvoured at their leisure the unorganized masses. It Is litera'ly, scientifically, accurately, alarmingly true, that between th reople and the money power, that most terrible of all tyranniea, their standa but one organi zation that can hold the fort while the peo ple rally, mat m tne organisation or labor. The bo.u friends the people have today are the unions of worklngmen. We must keep them fram being destroyed. We must learn the leeibon they teach. The people themselves must organize If they would survive. After an address by Clarence S. Darrow Mr. Mitchell spoke. Rrgalar Mebedale Is Kesaraed.
