The .'fate of Joe Wnrrm placed In tin- hand of the Jury at S: o'clock yes terday afternoon. The arguments of M( attorneys hart occupied the time from IIS1 o'clock except during the noon recess. Neither lHputy County Attorney Fitch In his opi ning argument or County Attorney Klabuugh In IiIk closing address asked the Jury to inflict the death penalty, but both made vigorous pleas for conviction.

After ill llhciii ting for over three hours the Jury hud fHlled to reach a verdict and at in:3 o'clock hint night J mine Sutton ordered thai the Juror be lucked up tor the night. He gave orders not to be called to hear h verdict until after 7 o'clock this morning. Tin Jury began Ha deliberation at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. At ti o'clock It went to supper, resuming the session In the Jury room at 7:4". After three hours of fruit less efforts to reach an agreement, word was received from Judge Sutton to hjck up for the night and the attorneys and a few friends of the defendant, who had been waiting; for the verdict, left the court room. The failure to agree at once la taken to mean there la a disagreement over the penalty to be inflicted. 1'nder the charge pending against War ren he can only be found guilty of murder In the first degree, as the county attorney yesterday withdrew the count In the Infor mation which alleged murder with premed itation and retained that charging murder committed during a robbery. Thla means Warren will either be sentenced to hang, to llfo tmprlaonment or to acquittal. Tenor of the Infractions. The Instructions of Judge Button were lengthy and required twenty minutes to read them. He Instructed the Jurors thtt if Warren wua with the other defendants In furtherance of a plan to rob Laustcn and one of the other defendants killed Laustcn in carrying out the intent to rob, then Warn n was guilty, even though he did not do anything directly toward the killing of the saloonkeeper. VoUng Warren, who kept his nerve well during the taking of testimony, showed signs of the strain ha waa under during tho arguments, iie grew pale and nervous una appeared to be almost on the verge of losing contro1 of himself while he was being- arruigned by County Attorney 81a baugh for his part in tha crime. Mrs, Warren, tils mother, and his brother sit near him during the closing day of the trial and when he was led back to Juil after the Jury had gona out, his mother placed her arms around his neck and kissed him affectionately. . Mrs. Jay O'Hearn and Mrs. I.usten and her daughters were spectators during most of the session. Crime of 'Which He la Accused. The crime of which Warren la charged Is the murder of Nels Lausten, a saloon keeper, at Twenty-first and Cuming atreel, on the night of January 20, during an at tempted hold-up. Warren and hia co defendants, Jay O'Henrn, Raymond Nelson and Leo Angus, had tone to tha saloon about 11:30. O'Hearn and Nelson went in side and Angua and Warren were atationed outside to watch the two doors. Lausten re fused to put up hia hands at the demand of O'Hearn and h. waa shot through the heart, The four ran away from the place and met again at Washington hall. They were ar rested the following day and Angua and Warren confessed their parte. Implicating O'Hearn and Nelson. Nelson afterward confessed and was tha principal witness for the state. O'Hearn waa placed on trial and convicted, the Jury decreeing the death penalty, Angus pleaded guilty and re ceived a life sentence, but Warren insisted on a trial. ' Nelson haa not been tried jet The etate rested wtthouk putting any mora witnesses on the stand and the d. fenae Introduced only two witnesses. Jay O'Hearn, who waa condemned to death for the murder of Lausten and the defendant Joa Warren. Tha testimony of each waa to tha effect Warren did not know that holdup waa to be perpetrated until Nelson and O'Hearn went Into the saloon. Their examination lasted until 11 JO, when tha defense rested and without introducing any rebuttal evidence, Deputy County Attorney Fitch began hia opening argument to the Jury. O'Hearn for tha Defease. Jay O'Hoarn, who waa brought up from Lincoln, where he la awaiting sentence of death, appeared more wan and pale than ho did during hia trial. Dark rings around hia eyes Indicated loss of sleep and worry but his mind appeared to be aa keen and Ills wita aa sharp aa when be weut oa tha stand In his own behalf. He waa not kept on the stand very long. He testified that neither at the meeting at Twenty-fourth and F streets. South Omaha, or in the saloon at Fifteenth and Harney waa an conversation had in the presence of Joe Warren relating to the holding up of any place or person. In the saloon when Nelson suggested he knew a place where they could get some moneyi O'Hearn said Warren was at the far end of the bar and not close enough to hear what was said.

Almost every one has come to believo that spring is a . season that brings de rangements of the body dependent on bli-od impurities. This belief is an old one, is nearly uni versal, and has arlBen, not as the result of the teachings of the medical frater nity, but haa been learned in the bitter sihool of experience. N'EKVOVS DEPRESSION. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is a fertile source of blood impurities. There are general lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feel ings, with irregular appetite, and some times loss of sleep. THAT TIRED FEELING. That tired feeling, which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather Immediately after the Invigorat ing cold weather, quickly disappear when Peruna la taken. Nolson were the only ones of the four who knew where they were going. They asked and O'Hearn answered that they were go ng up the atreet. While they were holding up the drug store at Twenty-fourth and A streeta he aaid Warren took a street car and went home to change his clothes. They met again in the saloon at Fifteenth and Harney, and after a conversation which Warren did not hear took the street cur for Cuming street. Nelson alone, he aaid, knew where they were going. Before they got to Nineteenth street Nelson got up and told Angus to get off at Nineteenth and nodded when the car reached there. Nelson did not get oft. but the others did. Warren is Hia Own Behalf. The examination of the defendant, Joe Warren, took up most of the forenoon ses sion. He told of his meeting O'Hearn at the Krug theater saloon between acts and going to South Omaha with him. They drank a good deal during the afternoon, and in the evening he met O'Hearn at Twenty-fourth and F streets, where he was Introduced to Nelson and Angus. He also denied anything was aaid there or in any et the saloons in his hearing about holding up anyone or any place. When they left the aaloon and took the car b. aaid he did not know where they were going, but supposed they were going some place to get some more drinks. They drank at Lausten's saloon and later at an other place, and then returned to Lausten's. "There," he continued. "O'Hearn aaid, 'We will atick up this place.' Nelson told me to go to the back door and 'stall' any one who came up by asking them for a match. He told Angus to stay at the front door. O'Hearn and Nelson went into the front door and I started toward the back door, but I did not atop. 1 went on south and did not look in at the door. I walked some dlstanc and heard a shot and started to run. Angus waa ao drunk I had to help him. He told me to go to Washington hall to meet the others." Help (or lsoa. At the Dewey hotel, Where ne and Nelson stayed all night, he said Nelson gave him his gun, keys and aome small change to keep for him, as he was afraid the police would arrest him on sight. Warren was to return the things at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, but he was arrested before that time and the things found on him. Hu said he had no gun Saturday night. On cross-examination he said he hud stopped work at the stock yards Hire. days before the murder and hud gone tn speculating. A few months before lie and Jay O'Hearn had gone to Denver together for a short time. He said he happened In the saloon, where he met the other boys. because he was on his way to a dance and atopped in to buy a drink. After meeting the boys he changed his mind about the dance, because fie bud spent all bis money, and he went with them. He aaid he followed them from saloon to saloon, but did not know where they were bound for. Wbeu they took the cur he said he supposed they were going 'some place to get a drink. He got off at Nine teenth and Cuming, because O Hearn gave him the signal to. Expected Kontethlna.

Spring with its lassitude Is also fruit ful of catarrhal diseases, xn account of its sudden changes so apt to cause in flammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory organs, involving either the head, throat or lungs. I'eruna's bene ficial action upon the mucous membranes is a thoroughly established fact, and this explains why Peruna is the correct remedy at such a time. DO NOT DELAY. Get a bottle of Peruna when the first languid feelings make themselves ap parent in the spring. Take It according to the directions on the bottle. Continue this treatment through the first months of spring. This course of treatment is no experi ment. It haa helped thousands. Why should it not help you? A SPRING TONIC. Almost everybody needs a tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, ment to Detectives Drumrhy and Maloney about looking in at the saloon window. Contrary to expectations the defense did not put Deo Angus on the stand. He was brought up from the penitentiary at their request. It was the intention to take him back at once. O'Hearn may be left here until the argument for a new trial la made and sentence passed npon him. PKISOKHS TO STA1 1 DOIGLAS O'Hearn and Kelson Will Be Kept la Jail Here Some Time. Jay O'Hearn and Raymond Nelson will not be taken back to the penitentiary until they have been sentenced by the court. They were brought to Omaha Friday to testify In the Warren case and will be kept here, O'Hearn until his motion for a new trial is passed on and he Is sentenced to hang, and Nelson until he is tried and re ceives his sentence. Leo Angua was brought with them, but he was taken back yesterday when it waa learned he would not be used In the Warren case. It has not been decided when O'Hearn's motion for a new trial will be araued. Monday the motion for a new trial in the case of Harrison Clark, who waa convicted of the murder of Edward Flury. will be heard, and If It is overruled he will be sentenced to hang. Similar motions In the cases of J. H. Devers, L. H. Eyre and Bert Chandler will be ruled on by the court. Tuesday County Attorney Slabaugh will begin the trial of "Sleepy" Hewitt, charged with grand larceny. , The following Monday Cut Wain, one of the accomplices of Harrison' Clark in the murder of Street Csr Conductor Flury, will be placed on trial. LEO OSBORN IS SET FREE Connty Attorney Decides He Has No Case Aaalast the Young , Man. County Attorney Slabaugh yesterday dis missed the information against Leo Os born, the boy who shot and killed his father in the north part of the city about a year ago. The only witness to the shoot ing besides the boy was his mother and both of them asserted the shot was fired while the father was attempting to assault Mrs. Osborn. Mrs. Osborn has taken her boy's part since his arrest and Judge Sla baugh decided he did not have sufficient evidence to warrant a trial. Shortly after his arrest the boy wa v-leased on bonds, but about three weeks ago his bondsmen surrendered him into custody because they understood he was trying to enlist in the navy. This was declared to be untrue by his friends, who said It was his brother who was trying to enlist. Oh horn's mother and sister were present when the case was dismissed and they took hlra home with them. First gplrltaallatle i birrs.

The EASTER RETAIL TRADE GOOD All Branches Profitably Affected bj This Solemn, Tet Festive Season. Jeanuuuaaansi COLD WEATHER HURTS II SOMEWHAT Dealers Generally Are Gratified Over the Results, Especially Those Who Sell Any Kind of Wearing Apparel. All branches of retail trade affected by the Easter season were brisk during the week. While a few daya were of the chilly aort and not conducive tn the unlatching of pursestrtngs, the general trade conditions were auch as to cause the retailer to look you squarely in the face when he said Sat urday evening that the week's salea were of the sort that yield large figures on the ac count books. Naturally those merchants dealing In articlea of raiment did the best business, but even those who carry house hold goods exchanged many of their wares for coin of the realm. The Eastertide spirit, which causes man to vie with nature in ap pearing pleasant to the eye, was general in Omaha, and today both man and nature will Join in one gladsome song. 'Business has been good, much better than last year," said Emit Brandels of J. L. Brandels St. Sons. "Still, it la not as good as it would have been if the weather had been warmer. Saturday, especially, the trade waa slack in certain lines. Tou can't expect people to come and buy spring cloth ing when the weather still feels wintry. But the first of the week business was splendid and, taken altogether, the trade for Easter has pleased um much better than last year." Little To Told. "Business Saturday was not near as good as it might have been," said R. Rosens weig of the Drexel Shoe company. "It waa too cold. I'p to that time, however, we had the best week's trade in our history. Pre vious to last Sunday spring trade was light, and not up to the standard of last year." Joseph Hayden of Hayden Bros, said purchases had been unusually heavy for the season and the trade steady throughout the week. "Much better than we expected: good all week." declared Mr. Swanson of the Berg- Swanson company. The trade was fully up to that of- last year and entirely satisfactory waa the report at the Nebraska Clothing company's store. Mr. C C. Belden of Thompson, Belden & Co., said: "Our Easier business was excellent and way ahead of lust year's. Had the weather been better I feel sure we would have had even better trade." Major R. 8. Wilcox, manager for Browning. King ti Co., was pleased with the sales reported at his establishment. "Fine, better than last year." said the ma jor. While Easier does not cause much of a stampede to the furniture stores, et that business shares to au extent in the general expansion of trade. Representatives of the firms of Miller.

"An immediate Improvement gave mo hope. If not relief. I kept up taking Pe runa and it has so strengthened and re lieved me that I am now confident of n cure.
