LESLIE ALLEN FOUND GUILTY

VERDICT SETTLES ON SECOND DEGREE

Jarles Uurtmm Trial af
Criminal Caeea.
Shortly after 2 o'clock Friday afternoon
the Jury In the Leslie Allen first degree
murder case brought in a verdict of guilty
of murder in the second degree. The agree
ment waa reached with three ballota at
12.X. the Jury having gone out at 11 o'clock,
but the verdict waa not returned until after
lunch. ,
The caae waa closely contested, the de
fense relying on the evidence of Leslie Al
len, the defendant, to the effect that Lee
Jarrett, his victim, had been shot in a
scuffle in which Jarrett with a drawn knife
in hie hand waa attempting to put Allen
out of the latter's home at 2202 Jones ti.-eet.
Ile testified Mary Jarrett, hie supposed wife
and Jarrett's slater, had a revolver and
was threatening to help her brother. Miss
Jarrett waa the principal witness for the
state. Her story waa entirely different from
that of Allen. She teatiAed Allen and Jar
rett had aome hot words over Allen's going
to a dance. After the quarrel, she said,
Allen went up town and returned In about
half an hour with the ran, shooting Jarrett
a he was sitting In a chair at the table
writing a letter, and before he had time to
defend himself. The state also Introduced
evidence tending to show tha circumstances
precluded Allen's statement.
The parties in the case are colored.
Meaaa f Improvlaa- Jarles.
Members of the Jury presented a resolu
tion to Judge Sutton thanking him hers us-
Ii did not require the Jury to be luekeil
up during the trial of the case.
The Jury waa a remarkable one becuuNi'
of the fact It contained more business nu n
of prominence than any other Jury tlmt
has heard a case tn tills county recently,
find the resolution expresses the belief that
if juries mere not isolated and locked up
during the trial of rases more business men
would consent to serve and a better grade
of Jurors could be secured. The fact that
the men who try Important cases are taken
away from their families and confined to
one or two small rooms tn a hotel la held
to be responsible, In part, for the desir'
of Intelligent men to keep off the panel.

City Attorney
JUDGE JACOB L. FAWCETT
Comptroller W. B. JOHNSON
Building Inspector... MARTIN T. NL'Rl'Hl
The central body of the Equal RishU
league in a fully attended meeting at the
headquarters in Patteraon hail completed
the Ecual Rights ticket for municipal offl
cera Thursday by making three endorse-
I ments. A. H. Hennings and W. H. Elbourn
having been previously endorsed for mayor
and city clerk respectively.
For city attorney the choice went to Judge
Jacob L. Fawcelt of the Twelfth ward.
Judge Fawcett has had a long career in
Omaha on the bench as well aa at the
bar, serving two terms as district Judge
and once as supreme court commissioner.
More lately he has been in private prac
tice. For comptroller W. Ernest Johnson of the
Ninth ward was endorsed Mr. Johnson Is
a practical bookkeeper and accountant,
employed by tut Lawrence Shot and Lead
company. He was disposed to go into the
race for councilman not long ago, being led
to look for a Fontanelle endorsement for
that position, but when he found out how
the Fountanellcs were being manipulated
he pulled out and issued a declaration of
independence, announcing himself as a can
didate for comptroller.
For building inspector the endorsement
was given to Martin T. Murphy of the
Sixth ward, an old time builder and con
tractor. He is now- engaged in erecting the
new brick building to replace the paper
box factor that burned. He built the Gage
county court house at Beatrice and many
other structures In and out of Omaha.
An incident that shows how City Treas
urer Hennings stands with citlxens who
have had an opportunity to know him well
occurred at the big meeting of the Regu
lar Republican league in 'Washington hall,
when Ii residents of Walnut Hill marched
lnio the crowded hall In a body noisy with
enthusiasm for the candidacy of Mr. Hen
nings. Mr. Hennings used to live on Wal
nut Hill at Forty-third and Cuming streets
and the party was composed of his former
neighbors. They were led by H. D. Neely
and John Msckin and displaed Hennings
''arris in their hatbands. They chartered
a Bjieckil street car for the trip and Were
careful to let all of the public that came
in contact with tin m understand emphat
ically whom they will support for mayor
i tmisha.
The Republican league of the city packed
'nshii.gtnn hall last night to the doors.
The gathering made up what proved to be
one ef the most enthusiastic political ses
sions of the present campaign. A large
delepitlon of A. H. Hennlng's neighbors ar
rived sfter the hall had been comfortably
filled, the result being many had to stand.
"A. H. Hennings. the 'square deal' candi
date for mayor." was the slogan presented
by several of the speakers of the evening.
That slogan was taken by the meeting and
Mr. llennlnps received a hearty endorse
ment at the hands of his friends and fellow
republicans.
W. I. KierMead spoke a few words on be
half of Mr. lb-lining, whom he Introduced.
Mr. Hennings made a short address. In
which Ii- rrfrred to his work as city treas
urer. '. C. Thompson. H. T. Neely, E. F.
Moreanv and J. A. Beverly addressed the
voters and referred to Mr. Hennings as a
man well worthy the support of the voters
and deserving of being horored with the
oiln e of mayor.
W. H. Etlbourn, candidate for re-elertlon
as city clerk, was endorsed. He made a
r.hort talk. A. N. Yost acted ua chairman
for the evening.
James C. Pahlman went campaigning In
his home district last night, addressing the
Kosciusko club at Twenty-fourth and
Hickory streets. About forty Poles were
out to hear the democratic candidate for
the mayoralty. Mr. Iahlman snld: "I tell
you. I know how to run the mayor's office
of the city of Omaha, and I'll run It, too.
There'll be no gang around to tell me what
to do. If any of you boys Want anything
come around and aee me. and I'll see that
you get what Is right." No definite execu-

Reports from ihe Broatcr headquarters
are to the effect mat plans nave neet
made there to force In court the Question
as to whether registration is necessary for
participation in the primaries The out
line of the scheme Is to have an election
board, or one or more .members of it. de
clare they will not admit nonreglstered
voters in the primaries. Upon this baM'a
a mandairus suit would be started to com
pel the boards to permit all citizens to
vote. The position of City Clerk El
bourn on the point was ascertained by W.
J. Proatch In a personal Interview, in
whlrh Elbourn Informed the mayoralty
candidate that he would Insist upon reg
istration as a qualification and would so
Instruct the election boards.
The Benson and Hennings people eon
tend it Is the Broatch people who wan:
the bars thrown down, so every one wli"
presents himself may have a ballot. Both
of these factions say they want to limit
the primary to registered republican voter
and that they will make arrangements t.
bring a test case. If necessary. They re
gard the statements that the Broatch
crowd will start a suit as suspicious.
Lawyers who have been looking over tl
supreme court decision on the Dod
primary law state their opinion that th
court's remarks aa to registration are
clearly outside the Questions raised In thr
case.
As old polticiuns who know him pre
dicted. John Westberg. who took a nomina
tion for comptroller on the Fontanelle
ticket, has Joined the Broatch colony and is
going around boosting Broatch as agamM
Benson.
"Westberg came to me the other da
and asked me why I was not out boosting
for Broatch and Lt nnison." observed ai,
old-time politician.
" 'Well, will you tell nie why you an
out boosting for that gang?' I asktu,
when jou are a member of the Btiimi.
combine? I thought all you Fontanelle lei.
lows were morally bound to support all thi
men on Jour ticket?' But John Jusi
winked.
"Funny thing, this Fontanelle spli
there's Bob Houghton, who didn't get t
Fontanelle endorsement, and he got m
and staid In the race, anyway. Woetln
did get the Fontanelle endorsement. Nu
Houghton and Westberg are fighting on Hi.
same side of the firing line with tin
Broatch-Lennison-Molse gang. Well, 1
guess they figure that it's all right it you
can get endorsements and all right if you
can't; they'll do the best they can. But 1
don't see where that brotherly-love lroncluu
oath of the Fontanelles is helping Benson.'
Democrats are still trying to find a law
yer who looks as though he might stand a
show lor city attorney when nominated
and who will stand for the place. Strong
efforts have been made upon C. S. Mom
gomery to get him into the race, but up to
date Mr. Montgomery' has declined to give
a favorable answer. At one time it was
thought Frank L. Weaver would get into
the game, but Mr. Weaver changed his de
cision about it.
W. J. Addy has withdrawn from the re
publican primary contest for councilman
in the Fifth ward and Henry P. Kolb has
done likewise In the Eleventh ward. For
mal papers cancelling their filing certifi
cates have been filed with the city clerk.

Such is the opinion of F. W. Judson.

"The rate on plate glasa from Antwerp
