under the strain and was forced to taka a
rest. His prt of the work, however, hod
practically been completed and his designs
hod been carried out. Mr. Rustln loft the I
scene of his activities and re.l.ved his mind
from ail pressure.
When the great fair was opened the first
of May th man whose master mind had
planned the electrical display was not

His creation was there and spoke liuder
than any words he could say,
Mr. Rustln characterises the work of
which ha was chief at the World's fair as
being stupendous when brought Into com
parison with any ordinary mechanical un
dertaking. About 200,000 electric lights were
used In the grand lighting scheme and
about 40.000 horse-power developed by the
power plant. Twenty fifty-ton cars of coal
were consumed every day for light and
power. All of which were some of th
things with which Mr. Rustln's work waa
associated.
Mr. Rustln Is at present' stopping with
his mother at 2X6 South Thirty-seventh
street. He Is one nt the Omaha boys who
have made a name for themselves and their
city famous. Mr. Rustln was also In charge
of the electrical work at the Transmlssla

FIGnr AGAINST SEW TRIAL
Affidavits kj innllj'i Lawyer. nd Jury,
men Denying Sinister InflteDoeg.
UNION PACIFIC'S MOTION RESISTED
Charge that Jadge Estelle and At
toreey for Plaintiff Talked Ia
discreetly Daring Trial
1 Denied by AIL
The attorneys for the Union Taclfle are
not the only one who support their argu
ment on the hearing of the motion for a
new trial In the case of John T. Connolly
against Elmer E. Fair and th Union Pa
cific Railway company by affidavits. T. J.
Mahoney, J. A. C. Kennedy and others
come back In answer to the first output ot
sworn statements which charge Judge Es
tell with affectionate partiality for the
man who lost his leg on the railroad and
the attorneys for Connolly with unauthor
ised conversations with a Juryman.
First and foremost among the deposi
tion la that of the twelve Jurymen who
gave th $27,600 Judgment. These being
worn say It Is true during the Intermis
sions and recesses Judge Estelle did some
times speak to the plaintiff, that he also
chatted In an equally friendly manner
with Important witnesses on the side of
the railroad company. The Jurymen say
the Judge was kindly and friendly with
everyone, treating both sides In the same
way.
Jerry Glavln, the Juryman with whom
Attorneys Mahoney. Kennedy and Fitch
are said to have been talking clandestinely
In the corridors and court room, makes his
affidavit that the only time he talked with
any one of the three wa when he m t
Mr. Mahoney In the court room as he was
going out. He says he aj?ked Mr. Ma
honey how long the rase would take and
also how long It would be before they were
called In again after the recess. He got
answers o these questions and no other
conversation passed, says he.
' Some More Affidavits.
3. A. C. Kennedy and Fred Bull make
affidavits that they met In the main corri
dor and the latter gave the former some of
his democratic campaign cards. While
they were talking Glavln came up and said
something about it being the wrong party,
but a good man. That was all. sayeth
deponants, that passed between Kennedy
And the Juryman, Bull being present. Mr.
Mahoney swears he did not talk to Glavln
except nt the time the latter asked him
about the length of the trial. David A.
Fitch says in his affidavit he did not talk
to any Juryman.
The hearing of the motion for a new
trial will come tip Wednesday morning.
Edson Rich, for the Union Pacific, Ih out
of the city, so the matter was continued.
The railway has taken steps to transfer
the cause to the federal court. Its at
torneys say the case was only allowable In
the district court because the engineer,
Fair, is an Omaha man. Now the Jury
has decided Fair was not a party to the
negligence and only tho road Is held, the
case belongs entirely to the federal court.
The Connolly ,slde of the case contends
tho motion for a new trial can only be
argued before Judge Estelle.

APPRAISERS TAKE RECESS
Adjourn Bight-Day Session and Will
Meet Again Twenty-Eighth
of December.
The appraisers of the Omaha waterworks
completed a session of eight day at 4 p.
m. yesterday. Both the water company
and the city announced they would rest
their case with the evidence already in,
except that City Attorney Wright reserved
one-half hour at the next sitting for the In
troduction of new evidence. Adjournment
was taken to December 28, when the ap
praiser will listen to the arguments and
take the case under consideration, provided
this feature of the appraisement does not
take longer than ten days. The engineer
comprising the board were forced to leave
at this time, owing to personal business
elsewhere, but wanted to return December
19. The time was postponed at the request
of Howard Mansfield, counsel for the water
company, who said he had an Important
law case In Detroit that would necessitate
his presence there for a few days on and
after the 19th.
RIGBY PROTESTS INNOCENCE
Yonna- Man Arrested and Released
Declare He Waa Anxloaa to
Stand Trial.
"I am willing to stand trial any ilme
they say so and. In fact, I wanted to stand
trial the other day and told them so," de
clared George Rlgby, 1716. Nicholas street,
one of the young men arrested by the
police as a suspect In the holdup of H. M.
Jensen, grocer, at Thirty-third and Cali
fornia streets, a few nights ago. Rlgby i
was closely examined by the police and
then released after the officers had dis
covered they had the wrong man. Jensen
first Identified Rigby, but, according to
RIgby's version, the grocer later said he
could not identify him. Rlgby says he Is
a hard working man and is the Innocent
victim of a most unfortunate state of af
fairs, as he had no more to do with the
Jensen affuir that the "man in the moon." I
