record contained error which could be
, mad the basis for a new trial.
"I am not much surprised at th verdict,"
as id Mr. Fleharty, "and I aai not prepared
to say whether I would have done th earns
thin? r not.- We are up against a hard
proposition as the .evidence tended to cor
roborate - Nelson's story Instead of
O'Hearn'. - We might have been able to
secure a llf sentence if the public mind
had not been so Inflamed. I think th
shooting of Clarke and Flury had a good
deal to do with the penalty."
glahaagk Well Pleased.
County Attorney Slabaugh appeared well
satisfied with th result of his labors In
th fHam caa when seen last evening
after th verdict had been rendered.
"As a public officer I cannot say much
In connection, with th caa at this tlma,
further than to state I believe th verdict
ws a fair on under the evidence offered,
and will meet with general satisfaction.
Of that I feel assured."
It required Just six ballots In th jury
room before an agreement' was reached.
There was no division among the jurors
as to the guilt of th defendant. Th only
division was over the penalty. On th
first ballot nine stood for the death penalty
and thre for a life sentence. . Then grad
ually on by on th jurors who at first
objected to hanging swung over with th
majority and Anally on the sixth vot th
verdict waa unanimous. .
The verdict met the approbation of prac
tically every body on the streets Saturday
evening. The news was proclaimed to the
multitudes through extras, which were
bought up by th hundreds. Favorable
comment was heard on all Sloes. The Bee
telephone was ktpt busy answering ques
tion a to th verdict and nearly every
un who Inquired uttered exclamations of
approval. Many compared th verdict and
th jury with th verdict and jury In th

Th case went to th jury at $:6S o'clock
and th crowd waa se dens a passageway
had to be cleared before th jurors could
e escorted out of th court room by th
bailiffs. O'Hearn was taken to the hr

During th final proceedings he main
tained th same stolid demeanor that he
has shown sine th beginning. While
County Attorney Slabaugh was making bis
final argument Mrs. O'Hearn, the defend

and sobbed violently. She remained In this

Nelson as being ' the mor experienced
criminal. He closed with a plea for com
passion and mercy, asking It In behalf,
not only or the defendant, but his widowed
mother and young wife.
Mr. English declared O'Hearn had been
made the scapegoat by Nelson, whom he
designated as a designing criminal. He dis
credited th testimony of Bonney, whd waa
in the saloon at th time of the shooting,
and laid considerable stress on th testi
mony of Jo Warren that Nelson had
tried to Induce him to turn state's evi
dence. Nelson, he said, had given th
$2 calibre revolver to O'Hearn In order to
turn suspicion from himself and then had
gotten rid of the 38 calibre revolver by
giving it to Warren. The next day he
said he went out to O'Hearn' hous to se
that th gun waa disposed of and found
It had ben given to Mrs. O'Hearn'
father.
He also declared the cause of th crime
was drink and pointed out that th law
takes th position a man . might be so
drunk as to be unable to form an attempt
to rob. At the close he reiterated his plea
for clemency.
During the pit-as of the defendant's at
torney handkerchief wer frequently
used. Th wlf and mother of th defend
ant sat near him and several times wer
convulsed with soba. Other women In the
crowd had their handkerchief to their
eyea-duiing tho affecting part of th pleas.
'County Attorney Slabaugh In his argu
ment declared more sympathy Is due the
family of the murdered man than to'tha
friends.
"Ton ' may shed tear for the guilty
man," he said, "but glv in th sympathy
for the thoussnds who will be murdered
before the end of th year because of
maudlin sympathy for th criminal.
Xelaoa Commeaded for ' Aid.
He commended Nelson for assisting la
th prosecution of the case, while O'Hearn
was standing pat and refusing to talk. He
appealed to th Jury to do Its part In th
enforcement of th law, so that It might
b saf for law abiding cllliens to walk
th streets at night. H asked th Jury
to return a verdict of guilty with the death
penalty attached.
The county attorney cJosed at 3:0, and
Judge Sutton at once began th radlni
of his Instructions. II directed th Jury
that a verdict of guilty must b returned
If they find that either Nelson or O'Heam
fired th shot while Intending to .per
petrate a robbery. If not satisfied as to
th Intent to rob a verdict of not guilty
ahould b returned. He Inatmcted that
Nelson's testimony must b carefully con
sidered, especially If it wer found that he
expected leniency for testifying. Neither
the testimony of Nelson or O'Hearn could
be disregarded simply because of their
connection with th case. Drunkenness,
while not an excuse for crime, may be
considered as to whethei or not th de
fendant was In condition to form at In
tent to rob.
Th reading of the instruction occupied
fifteen minutes and they wer listened to
with deep Interest by th crowd.

to th north and of th bar, where he stood
for a minute, when he pitched forward
dead. : . -
In the meantime Nelson had gone be
hind the bar and rilled the cash register
of $1S.TO. Then - the two ran out of the
saloon and went away as rapidly as possi
ble. Of these facts there was no dispute.
- The only question in dispute at th trial
waa whether O'Hearn or Nelson fired the
fatal shot. Each accused the other on the
witness stand. Bonney's testimony was
that the man standing next to him with
a short overcoat on did the shooting and
the other man went behind the bar and
rifled the cash register. He also said the
man who did the shooting covered him
with his revolver as he (Bonney) started
to leave the saloon after th shooting.
O'Hearn admitted In his testimony that
It was he who covered Bonney, but he says
he did It while Nelson waa covering Laus
ten. Bonney testified neither one of them
paid any attention to him until after the
hot was fired and this .was Corroborated
by Nelson.
Ben Persinger also tee titled to looking
In at th saloon door and seeing O'Hearn
standing In front of th bar with a gun
in his hand and Nelson behind the bar
rifling the'reglstar.
After th Harder.
Th four "pais" met after the murder,
according to a previous ngreement, at
Washington hall, , where, according to a
statement signed by Angus anf the testi
mony of Nelson, Angus asked' O'Hrarn:
"Did you shoot the barkeeper?"
"8hut up," answered O'Hearn; "yes, I
smoked him."
The revolver with which the shooting
waa don was also a link lu the chain of
evidence which entangled O'Hearn. Th
bullet was a 3-callber, and a .12 caliber
revolver waa found in the possession of
Ralph Oray, O'Hearn father-in-law, td
whom tt was given by Mrs. O'Hearn the
morning after th shooting and after
O'Hearn had been arrested. O'Hearn' ad
mitted It was th gun that killed Lauslea,
bat aaid It waa In the hands of Nelson
when th shot was fired. Nelson tiivd. An
gus purchased It at Council Bluffs the day
of th murder, but, according to Nelson,
It was given by Angus to O'Hearn when
th quartet met that night. O'Hearn at
tempted to show It was In the poseession
of Nelson. He said after the four had
met Nelson asked him to trade guns, aa
he had a St and he preferred a 32. He said
Nelson kept th gun until they started to
run away from Lausten's saloon, when they
traded back, Nelson saying he was going
to stay In Omaha and he did not want to
b caught with a $2 gun on him. O'Hearn'
overcoat also Implicated him in the shoot.
Ing. He wore a short, light coat, which
waa identified by several of th witness
who saw him. Bonney said the man who
did the shooting wore a short overcoat,
but he thought It waa black.

Angus was ai rested that night at Wash
ington hall for another often and It was
through statement ctiid from him that
th other arrests wer mad on Sunday.
O'Hearn waa arrested about I o'clock Sun
day morning. Warren abwut 11 o'clock and
Nelson- at 4 o'clock. Nelson waa th first
to make deflnit statements placing th
responsibility for th shooting, but th
confession of th other pointed strongly
to O'Hearn. I'P to wttbln a few days of

Th four murderers have had a stren
uous time since their arrest. A few days

WASHINGTON, March 17. (Special Tele-grsm.V-Representative
Kennedy has been
lRborlng with the members of the commu
te on po'tofflce and postmads in an en
deavor to secure the Increase of pay for
postal clerks. Thl Is In reality th pet
project with Postmster Palmer of Omaha,
who when her early In the present session
upon business In connection with the af
fairs of the Omaha office set the ball roll
ing for Increased pny for postal clerks.
Postmaster Palmer asserrs thst clerks In
his postofflee sre not receiving sufficient
compensation and la also aware that the
same condition exist In every large post-
offlc throughout the I'nlted States.
Representative Kennedy ha had many
conference with Representative Jesse
Overstreet, chairman of the committee on
pnstofftcen and postmads, during the last
few weeks and in the main has Scored hi
point. It 1 understood that the sum of
$500,000 will be added to the postofflee ap
propriation bill' on a plan 'of giving 6.onu
clerks $100 each per annum over the
amount they are now receiving. The prop
osition is. so far as can be lenrned. to dls
trlbute the additional $59,000 appropriation
for clerks In this wise; Fifty per cent
of the $700 list to be promoted to $910, 10
per cent of $809 list to- be promoted to
$W. 10 per cent of $900 list to be pro
moted to $1,000 and S per cent of ll.ion list
to tie promoted to the $1,200 list.
More Clerks for Lower Classes.
This apportionment applies only to the
first and second class postofflces of th
rotintry. In addition to this It Is probable
the postofflee committee will agree to. an
appropriation of $1,100.0110 for the employ
ment of new clerks In lower grades. These
promotions. It Is said, should the bill pass,
will contain a proviso empowering local
postmasters to make recommendations ns to
who shall be promoted.
The postofflee appropriation bill covering
these points will, It Is thought, be reported
to the house eurly next week. In the face
of a deficit It has been the disposition of
the present congress to keep all appropria
tion down to the lowest notch, but there
now seems to be but little doubt that the
amounts outlined above will get through the
legislative mill and be enacted Into law.
Nebraska Man Promoted.
