FINAL CHAPTER IN SETH WINCH WILL CASE

or Anthentlelty.
The closing scenes of the Winch will
case trial in Judge Scars' court at 4:30
yesterday afternoon wero very exciting.
3. L. Kaley closed the case fur the con
testee, his address laming a little more
than an hour, after which the court In
structed tlui Jury and It retired, under
Bailiff Morgan, to deliberate on a verdict.
The mass of testimony is great, the trial
having occupied between three and four
weeks, consequently the Jury has a large
amount of work to do before arriving at a
verdict. The Jury Is having many heated
discussions, and makes about as much
noise at times as the lawyers did In the
rase. The members seem to have taken
aides and the opinions appear to be firmly
fixed.
In his clorlng argument Mr. Kaley ar
raigned Elme.' K. Thomas personally In a

Civic Fedcruiiun writhed under the castl-
fatlon he received, but only once did he

After a few preliminary remarks, Mr.
Kaley Bald:

this case? Have they appeared before you?
I say to you, airs, that never before in all
my experience have I known of a case
extending through days and weeks without
a perHon who brought the suit appearing
before the court and Jury to tell them
what they wanted. Have they a depo
sition of these people have they an ufll
davlt of these people, have they the
scratch of a pen of these people? Have
any of thm asked you to do a thing for
them? I think I hear some small voice
from Providence, R. I. It Is the voice of
the daughter of Both F. Winch. I hear
this voice saying: "Lo and behold, tny
father made a will and in that will he ex
preHwd his wish before he died. Ho put
it down In solemn writ upon paper, and I
am the hint one that would want to con
test the will of my father." That is what
that voice says to me, and It must be put
down as a solid, existing undisputed . fact
that the daughter of Seth F. Winch does
not want to content this will. The con
testants are yourselves (referring to the
attorneys) and you know It.
Mr. Thomas Oh, no.
Mr. Kaley Yes, you know it and you
cannot deny It.
Mr. Thomas This Is unfair.
Hum pie of Fairness.
Mr. Kaley Yes, unfair. If you want to
talk about hon'sty or unfairness, talk
about vour actions aeainst that poor little
woman Rlttlng back there (pointing)- You
have hounded her down; you have
calumniated her character, impugned her
motives, you have vllllfled that woman
from start to finish In her helpless con
dition. You huve bullyragged her. and fol
lowed her through day and through night,
through thick and through thin, trying to
see if you cannot appropriate some prop
erty that she helped to pile up for Seth
F. Winch. nd stick It Into your capacious
pocket. ThiU Is what I etmrgo against
you sir (referring to Mr. Thomas) and
you dare not deny It. It appears In evi
dence, gentlemen of the Jury, that thers
has been a contest previous to this. George
Magney stuted here that Seth F. Winch
told him that he was suspicious of lawyers,
because lawyers are sometime tricky.
and he said, "And I say to you, little one
(referring to tils wlte) you Keep mai
will." I do not know that there was any
thing offensive there about these gentle
men, but Seth F. Winch seemed to smell
tlieni from afar, way liack years ago when
he was talking to (leorge Magney In his
office. He said lawyers are tricky. He had
his suspicion of them. He must have had
a premonition, because he seemed to fear
that something might befall the little one
(his wife a he called her.
Problem In Honesty.
Buppose I h:d lost your poeketbook and
It contained valuable articles, and among
them tne note, and I should come before
the court and Jury as attorney for the
niuker of that note and offer every objec
tion known to the law and to mankind to
oppose you In making your proofs and get
ting Judgment against the fellow that had
signed the note. You would expect me as
a good cltisen. as a true American citisen,
as an honorable man. as an honest, hlgh
iilndnd man you would expect me. Instead
of throwing obatncles In the way to pre
vent you from maklnr your proof and col
lecting your note, you would expect tne to
render you all the assistance I could to
help vou lo collect your note. Is not that
so? That Is the situation here. But no,
gentlemen, Mr. Thomas come before you
and tells you that he had that will, and
that he was the last man that had It, and
he says he lost it. If he honestly lost that
will, as an honest man he ought lo come
here and help lo rrove it. I will submit
that to you as a problem In honesty. I will
ask you to state whether or not that Is not
right. Is not that correct? Have we not a
right to expect- Mr. Thomas to make right
a fur as pnxihle his wrong. H.tve we not
a right to expect that? I say to you, sirs,
that when a man loses another man's
property It becomes his duty to try to find
it and' try to put that man in the name posi
tion he was before he lost the property,
lias he done that? No, but, on the other
hand, he enld in the opening X took the
statement down as he made it ttiat If they
(meaning the conlesteesi would produce the
will it might be proof, ete. That is. if we
would produce the will it would be proof
of the existence of the will. Just think of
the challenge lo us of the fellow who ad
mits that he was the last fellow that had
the will. I want to ask yen gentlemen of
the Jury If ou ever knew of a lawyer
losing a will, r have lutd considerable to
do with lawyers myself, and I have known
of a good nwn wills, but I never before
knew of a lawyer losing a will.
Uaty of m Clltsen.
. When Mr. Thoma got this wfll In Ms
band UiO author vf the will. Slh F. Winch.
was sleeping beneath the sod. What was
Mr. Thomas' duty when he got the will?
Was It to cast It about and throw It among
the rubbish, here or there? Was that the
duty of the man who knew the intent and
purpose of a last will and testament? Ha
was an officer of the court. A sworn offi
cer. A public prosecutor at the time. Most
men, without being lawyers, know what
the law Is uron the subject of wills when
one comes Into their possession. The law
directs that he shall Immediately deposit
it with the county Judge. If he were a
plain citizen, In the ordinary walks of life,
the same thing would have been true. Mr.
Thomas does not pretend to make any plea
that he did not, know. He knew what the
law was. He knew what his duty was and
he knew that It wa his duty to deposit
that will with the probate court.
It la not a matter for nlm to say that It
was not a good will and for that reason ft
should not te probated. It Is not for any
man outside of the probate Judge to say
that. So It became Mr. Thomas' sworn
duty as a public prosecutor of Douglas
county to file that will with the probate
Judge Instanter when he got hold of It, to
Immediately file it, hut he did not. He
violated the law by keeping that will, and
having violated the law they are precluded
from that moment to come in here and
say aye, yes or no in regard to the pro
bating of the will, and It does not lay In
their mouths, after having violated the
law, to say whether the will shall be pro
bated or not. I say thev are precluded
from coming In, here and testing the will.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMABA
Addition to School Buildings Are Being
Fashed with All Speed.
MORE ROOM TO BE READY BY THE FALL
School Board Wants to Accommodate
Increased Attendance and Con
tractors Promise to Hnre Sew
Rooma Finished on Time.
An Inspection of the additions to school
buildings now being erected In South
Omaha shows that the .work Is progressing
fairly. At the Corrigan school the four
new rooms will be ready for the roof by
Wednesday next, and then the building
can be enclosed. From the time of the
enclosure the work will progress rapidly.
Contractor Parks, who Is putting up this
building, declares that he will have the
addition completed before September 1.
Every available workman Is being em
ployed on this work and as there Is plenty I
of material on hand there seems to be no '
reason why the building should not be
ready for occupancy when the schools open
In, September. By the use of these ad- j
ditlonal rooms at Corrigan school some of
the pupils who attended West Side school
last year will be transferred to a school
building nearer their homes.
At the Madison school (he six-room ad
dition Is not up to the second story and
there seems to be no probability now of
this addition being ready by September.
Mr. Bock, one of the contractors, asserts
that he will have four rooms ready, but
from the present outlook this hardly seems
erobable.
Work is being pushed along rapidly at
the Lincoln school and there Is some pros
pect of this addition being completed by
the time the schools open In the fall. By
the building of' these additions the over
crowded condition of a number of schools
will be relieved and room will be made
for additional pupils. The school census
hows sn Increase In the number of pupils
for the coming school year, but if the plans
of the Board of Education are carried out
there will be scarcely any overcrowding
at any of the schools.
Balldlna Ordered Condemned.
By going through the regular process of
law. City Building Inspector Wlnegard has
succeeded In having a number of building
condemned. The building owned by the
Stora Brewing company at Thlrty-seconl
and Q atreets has been ordered rased, and
that old eyesore to many people In South
Omaha, the Transit house at Twenty-seventh
and M streets, Is to be torn down. The
owners of the Transit house property are
given until August 1 to commence opera
tions. The old hay barn on Twenty-sixth
street between M and N streets la on the
list and will have to be removed at once.
The owner resides lmthe east, but his agent
here, F. J. Persons, hd been notified. Frank
Fitzgerald's build! g on Twenty-sixth
street between N and O streets has been
condemned by regular proceedings and It
will be torn down by the owner, or the city
will see that the work Is performed anl
the cost assessed against the property.
At Eighteenth and O streets George ' fc
Co. own a cottage which Is reported to be
falling to pieces. This has been orderel
removed from the premises. Two cottages
at Thirtieth and IT streets, also owned by
George Co.. must be carted away within
ten das, or else the city building Inspect ar
will see to it that the work Is done. There
Is a dwelling at Eighteenth near P street,
owned by a St. Paul investment company,
that is to come down within ten days.
Notices were served yesterday on the
owners of Blum's hHll at Twenty-sixth and
N streets to tear down the building within
thirty days or else the city would take
steps to produce this result. This old hall
Is a regular firetrap and has been reported
on a number of times as being unsafe. For
a year or more the building has not been
used except, for a resting place for tramps.
City Contractor Complains.
Gus Hamil, the permanent sidewalk con
tractor, called at the city hall Friday with
fire In hla eye and a good slxed stick. He
told the city engineer that he was not get
ting a square deal and proceeded to demon
strate. When property owners do not lay
permanent walks within thirty or forty
days after notice has been served, or make
arrangements for the same, the city con
tractor is ordered to go ahead with tho
work. In cases where the city contractor
lays walks the coet Is taxed against the
property at the price bid when the contract
was let.
Hamtl declares that outHlde contractors
are butting In and getting ahead of him by
offering to do the work at less price than
the contract. He further asserts that such
walks are laid without Inspection. All of
the walks laid by the city contractor have
to be Inspected. Now Hamil wants the
Sidewalk Inspector to get busy and Inspect
the walks being laid In his contract dis
trict by outside contractors. The city
officials are taking this matter under con
sideration. Mrs, Winevard Worried.
Thursday evening a report was received
In South Omaha from Goldfleld, Nev., to
the effect that Earl Wells had died of star
vation In Death Valley. Wells Is a brother
of Mrs. Wlnegard and was at Goldfleld
six weeks ago. Shortly after June 1 Wells
wrote his sister that he was going on a
prospecting trip and that she need not
write until she heard from him. Three
men went In the party and one returned
to Goldfleld In a demented condition. After
being revived this miner said that Wells
perished on the desert from lack of water
and food. Mrs. Wlnegard Is anxiously
looking -for further news from Goldfleld
and Is In hopes that there Is some mistake
about her brother dying from thirst In
! the valley.
, Fishermen Retnrn.
Around the city hall Friday nothing but
fish stories were told. The party of city
officials and others who went to Blue Lake,
la., for a three days' outing brought back
a big catch. Forty-eight good slxed bass
was a part of the catch. It was certainly
a harvest for the city officials who re
mained at home, as all were given a mess
of bass and croppies from the abundant
catch. All of the party returned In the
best of health and with a thirst that would
make a giraffe ashamed of himself.
