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

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

Warren relating to the holding up of any
place or person. In the saloon when

"I have been troubled with catarrh since I
was ten years old. At times my head troubled
me so that I waa obliged to stay in a dark room.
Nothing helped me and my physician said I
could never be cured.

Peruna."
HPR1NO CAT A Kltll.
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."

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

THE CORRECT REMEDY.
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.

Jay O'Hearn and Raymond Nelson will

They were brought to Omaha Friday to

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

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.

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. Stewart A Beaton and Orch

words to say regarding their trad' of the
