MICH LIRE PRELIMINARY
Better Progress Than Expected Being Made
in the Lillie Case.
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.

CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Six thousand people
crowded the Auditorium tonight at tho
demonstration of the local labor unions in
honor of John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers. Intense enthualasm
was shown when Mr. Mitchell appeared
on the platform, and his speech later in
the evening was received with cheers.
The meeting waa called to order by
James A. Dwyer ss temporary chairman.
He Introduced as the permanent presiding
officer of the evening James H. 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.
