the witness stand today to tell his story
of what occurred In the Lausten saloon.
His attorneys had not fully made up their
minds wlicthet' lie would trstlfy or not. but

probably would no on the stand. Mr. Eng
lish told' the 'court yesterday the defense
would prqbably finish Its case by noon, if

Could ,ot See Nelson.
He said he could not see Nelson, but lie
saw the barkeeper fall. After he bad run
some distance he says Warren caught up
with him and they went to Washington hall.
The statement confirms Nelson's story of
the purchase of the 32-caltber revolver with
which the' shooting was done, by Nelson
and Angus, and adds the. gun was turned
over to O'Hearn the night of the murder.
The Incident at Washington hall is added
In a postscript.
"I asked O'Hearn If he shot the man be
hind the bar and he answered: 'Yes, I
smoked him.' "
In his statement Joe Warren suid he was
23 years old -When they arrived at the sa
loon the first time he said he, O'Hearn and
Angus went Into the saloon, bought a glass
of beer and went out, afterward meeting
Nelson. 8omeone, he did not know who,
aid: "We will stick up that place,"
They went back to the saloon and War
ren said he thought O'Hearn. Angus and
Nelson went ,ln the place, though he was
not sure all. of them entered. . He was told
to watch the back door to "stall" those
who started to go Jn. He was told to ask
them for a match In order to stop them.
f . not cold ret.,
"Ijwent tq' I he,' back door," he says, ."but
did not stop.', 1., got oold feet and went
light on. ' t kept going faster and when I

He , says Angus' caught, up with him and
they proceeded to Washington hall, where
they met O'tloarn and Nelson.. He said he

holdup, went on the stand sgatn and cor
rected his statements. He said he nnd slnre
seen the men In their overcoats and stand
ing In the same positions they were In In
the saloon nnd wss now convinced Nelson
was not In the crowd at all and that It
was O'Hearn who had the light overcoat
on. He also Identified Angus as the man
who had four fingers off one hand. The
defense tried to discredit his story, bu
he justified the change In hi testimony
by the fact he had since testifying seen
the men ss they were dressed when he saw
them In the saloon.
Michael Reagan, who works In the gro
cery department at Hayderi's, was with
Born In the salotnn and he testified ss to
the relative positions of the men as they
stood kt the bar and their appesrance.
Kelson's Statements Alike.
As preliminary to the introduction of the
statements made In writing at the police
station by Warren, Angus and Nelson,
Arthur Shields, clerk for Chief Donahue, j
who took the statements In shorthand,
was placed on the stand and Identified
them. Nelson's statement Is practically
the same as his story on the witness stand.
In his confession Angus admitted O'Hearn
had said that he, O'Hearn, had "smoked"
Lausten. . t
The only words used by O'Hearn which
have been placed In evldnce were ' testi
fied to by Captain Mostyn, who took him
and Angus to South Omaha and brought
them " back to Omaha. While they were
in charge of Mostyn and Officer Cook they
were handcuffed together In a hack and
witness heard O'Hearn say to Angus,
"Stand pat." On the way back he heard
O'Hearn repeat the words. Officer Cook
was placed on the stand later and said he
had heard O'Hearn say, '"Stand pat, keep
your mouth shut," and at another time
had heard O'Hearn say to' Angus, "Stand
pat."
Officer Cook also described the. scene at
Iausten's saloon Monday morning when
the prisoners were taken there and Nelson
recounted the story of the shooting, show
ing where each of the parties In the saloon
stood.
"What were the . other ' prisoners doing
when he was telling the story T" Mr. Sla
baugh asked.
They took tobacco out of their pockets
and rolled cigarettes."
When O'Hearn was asked if he had any
statement to make he replied: "I have
nothing to say." '
Boy Arrested at .Trial.
Probation Officer Mogy Bernstein ar
rested a lS-year-old boy yesterday after
noon during the O'Hearn trial for return
ing to the court room after repeatedly be
ing warned to stay away during the trial.
The boy was locked up and was taken be
fore Judge Sutton ct the close of the ses
sion. It was decided to hear his case Sat-
urday.
Owing to the crowd, it has been difficult
for the officers to keep, boys out. of the
room, in accordance with the Judge's or
ders. Someone from the probation officer's
office has been ' kept In the court room
continuously during the hearing and as a
result large numbers of boys have been
turned, away. Bernstein expressed regret
yesterday that the 200 or more morbid
minded women who flock to the court room
every day did not come under ht Jurisdic
tion.
. One of these women went to the court
room yesterday afternoon ' with her . two
daughters, one IS and the other 14 years
old. Bernstein requested ber to .take the
girls out of the room, but she did not want
to leave Just then, so she sent tHem out
of the room wfUi the probation officer, and
turned her attention agalri to the salacious
stories of, crime being told on the witness:

The women who attend 'the' trials-aj)peai
to take thn due pest Jntertst .In ', t,he young
defendant, and many of ,them -hardly take
their eyes off his 'ace except when the tes
timony becomes especially Interesting. They
note every movement he makes and make
comments among themselves when, he and
his wife converse with each, other. The
curiosity of the men Is no les marked arid
a crowd of them follows the deputy sheriffs
when they lead the prisoner back -to the
Jail. M.
On the way to and from the jail O'Hearn

two are preceded by two or three, officers
and the same - number bring up the rear
to keep the crowd back. .
Testerday afternoon eight high school
girls went to the court house to attend
the trial, but owing to the early adjourn
ment the .court room was empty. They
expressed great ' disappointment at being
deprived of the opportunity of witnessing
the trial. None of them - appeared to be

The development of the West cms to
have been rapid that eastern men. who
have always kept Inside their own little
shop, have not until lately realised that
the country West of t hicago ' reslly civil
ised, with progressive people and enter

The country between Chicago and San

that space, gives evidence of being a re
markably live city. It Is sufficiently alive,
anyway, to have awakened easterners to

Dresher Tailoring company. Omaha. For a
numlier of yeara Mr. Dresrier ha been com
ing east twice a year, purchasing materials,
making a minute study of style, etcetera.
These persistent visits of Mr. Lreiier, his
large purrhagrs, to secure the lowest prices,
have finally brought the biggest men In
the trade to a reallxation of Omaha's up-to-dateness.
And. Mr. Dresher assures them that
slthough Omaha may sometimes be a little
behind In the matter of popular songs, the
men of the city need not be even a necktie
behind the east In nobby fabrics and stylish
shapes. "In fact," he says, "the most

JOBBERS HAVE BIG HOPES
Omaha Men Retnrn from Chicago
Meetlnsr Encouraged for '
Retter Rates.
Omaha's delegation to the meeting of
Missouri river Jobbers In Chicago and to
the conference of traffic managers of west
ern railroads in that city Tuesday has
returned. The members of the party wore
Charles II. Pickens, W. 8. Wright, J.
Clarke Colt. John S. Brady, A. C. Smith,
T. C. Byrne and E. J. McVann, commis
sioner of the Commercial club. Thirty
five Jobbers of "Omaha, Council Bluffs,
Kansas City, St. Joseph and 8loux City
were present at t,he conference, their pur
pose being to convince the traffic managers
of the Justice of a reduction in class rates
from the seaboard to Missouri river points.
"I am confident that our arguments will
do some good," said Charles II. Pickens.
"Several of the traffic managers admitted,
after we bad stated our case, that Missouri
river Jobbers ought , tp be afforded some
relief. Whether .."our" suggestions were
practicable or not,,- they said they were
not able to1 dotersilne on short notloe, but
they , promisod '16 take the matter under
erloua consideration , and try to formulate
some good plan for-affording relief.
"Class rates from the seaboard to this
section of . the country are without doubt
too high. The present basis was estab
lished years ago. when the Jobbing points
along the Mississippi were of great lm.
portance as compared with the newer busi
ness along the Missouri, and of course the
western towns were not entitled to so
much Consideration then. Things have
changed, and the, Titles along the Missouri
are larger Jobbing points than the Missis
sippi towns, except St. Louis. We think
the roads ought to change the rates.
"Beside allowing us to make lower prices
on merchandise to the retail trade, a
decrease In tariffs would put us on a moro
equal basis with St. Paul and Minneapolis,
and put us in -a position to bid for the
trade of South , Dakota.. Under existing
conditions the Twin cities have all the ad
vantage there. , .
"The dry goods, shoe, millinery and drug
houses are more interested In a reduction
of .class rates than the grocers and hard
ware men, for the . reason that the latter
enjoy commodity rates on carloads, allow
ing them to ship at less, than class rates,
and thus giving them an advantage ovei
their eastern competitors."
3., In case of sickness, noD but the best should be
accepted,
4. Our treatment is known the world over, and has
proved its merits in ayer 350,000 oases.
5. We give value received, and that is the reason we
are at the head in our specialty.

MORRIS MAKES A DISCOVERY
Superintendent of Associated Chari
ties Learns that Organisation
Is Incorporated Body.
Although having worked for years under
the direction of the International Christian
Institute, the committee of Associated
Charities has Just discovered that it is an
Incorporated body, entirely Independent of
the institute, and has reorganized its
forces. .
The discovery was made by Superintend
ent Stephen Morris of tho Associated Char
ities in looking ovtsr the records at the
court house. He found a record of the
filing of articles of Incorporation for the
organization in 1S93 and by these articles
the Associated Charities was empowered
to carry on Its work for thirty years. It
Is supposed that during d period of a
few years ago, when the institution was
hot very active In charity work, the provi
sions of the articles were entirely forgotten
by the members' of the tioard, so that It
was an easy matter for the International
Christian Institute later to take the organi
sation under Its wing. The members of
the old board confess they thought the
articles had mentioned a short term of
years and ib'.t the Associated Charities
had lived Its allotted time.
Recently there has been considerable talk
of getting away from the control of the
Institute, for, as Mr. Morris says, "in
order to make the organization co-operative
with all charities In the development of
the work and to maintain an equal rela
tion to all charities, the need of indepen
dence was felt." Mr. Morris was working
on this Idea wh.cn he went to look at the
records.
A meeting was called of the members of
the old board, such of them as were living
and tn Omaha, and the .Associated Chari
ties was declared Independent of the In
stitute, members of the committee tinder
the late regime being elected to fill va
cancies on the board. Thomas Kilpatrlck
Is president. Rev. T. J. Mackay chairman
of the executive committee, and the other
members of the board sre: Morltx Meyer.
