palatable Object.
The fate of Mae Hayes will be given Into
the hands of the Jury sometime this fore
noon. The testimony was finished late
yesterday afternoon and the arguments
of the attorneys begun. They will be
finished today.
The cross-examination of Mrs. Hnyes
occupied most of the afternoon. Deputy
County Attorney ntch subjected her to a
were cross-fire of questions and several
times she retorted rather sharply to his
insinuation.
wing to the difficulty of one of the
Jurors to keep his eyes open while she was
on the stand. Judge Sutton called him up
to' the bench and asked him If he had been
drinking. Ho denied that he had and the
case wont on, though the Juror 1 continued
to nod frequently.
Mrs. Hayes told of the various places
ahe had been before coming to Omaha, but
a question as to whether or not she had
been In Jull In Kansas City was ruled out.
Bho explutned her reasons for blowing upon
the diamond as she testified ahe did in her
direct examination.
"A friend of mine tola me If Ton Wow
on a diamond and it disappears quickly it is
a perfect diamond," she said. .
You -mean If the diamond disappears
quickly," said Mr. Fitch, while a ripple of
laughter floated over the court room.
Ho, she Means Breath.
No sir, I mean if your breath disap
pears quick."
"Borne people's breath disappears quicker
than others," said Mr. Fitch.
Mra. Hayes admitted she had no money
when she went into the store. She said
slie did not Intend to buy the diamond
at that time, but Mr. Hayes bad told her
she could get ' one aa soon as they got
money and she waa looking around in an
ticipation of buying- one. Bho insisted In
her former testimony that she did not know
whether she swallowed the gem or .not
She admitted, however, she had told some
people she had swallowed It and others that
she had not. She explained this by saying
she waa not aura whether she swallowed
lt; or not.
8he also admitted saying to Mrs. Glhbona
that her throat , hurt .when ' the diamond
disappeared, but she did not know whether
it .was the. diamond or the hands of the
detective en her throat ' that caused the
pain. . ; . " - .
Mr. Furen and Detective .Maloney were
recalled in rebuttal and. denied the latter
had placed his hand on her until after ahe
had bean asked to .restore the diamond.

mumps and sore throat, according to al
leged confessions of Mrs. Hayes. These con
fessions were testified to by Police Matron
Gibbons and Detective Drummy, but Mrs.
Hayes afterward . went on the stand and
declared If she swallowed the gem she did
not know it.
Mrs. Olbbons said Mrs. Hayes told her
she and . Mr. Hayes were both sick. Mrs.
Hayes having the mumps. A man who
had come to Omaha with them had run
off with all of their money and Mrs. Hayes
said she had to do something to raise
money.
"She said she picked out the diamond,"
aid Mrs. Gibbons, "and put it to her
mouth, but did not swallow it until the
detective said, 'She has It In her mouth.'
She said the diamond stuck in her throat
and did not go clear down for a long time."
Officer Drummy testified to the same
statement. He denied clapping his hand
over her mouth until she had put the gem
In her mouth. .
The principal interest centered in the
testimony of Mrs. Hayes herself. . She
said she was married to Mr. Thomaa
In Texas about four years ago. They had
one child. He lived with her about a year
and then lert her and she does not know
where' he is now. Slnu lie left she has
been living with "Mr. Hayes though they
have never been married. She said they
lived together as Mr. and Mrs. Hayes in
Texas.'
She and Mr. Hayes and another man
came to Omaha the Sunday before her
arrest and took rooms at 1919 Dodge street.
The other man whose name she did not
mention ran away with all the money they
had, about WO. Describing the way the
diamond disappeared she said:
; Woman Glvoa Her Vcratoa.
"I picked the diamond up and placed it
to my lips to blow on It. Then the de
tective rushed up and grabbed me and said:
Olvs me that diamond.' I don't know what
became of the diamond, whether "I swal
lowed it or whether it fell on the floor.
But it disappeared."
She said she had done all ahe could to
help recover the diamond and had taken
everything the doctor has given her. She
said she had offered to undergo an opera
Uon.
The description of the hat Mrs. Hayes
had on offered all kinds of difficulties to
the male witnesses. Mr. Kuren said it had
red flowers with blue leaves on It. De
tective Drummy admitted be was not an
expert on millinery, but he had examined
the ' hat carefully to see if the diamond
was hid in It and he waa aure there were
flowers of some kind on it He said he
waa not aure whether they ' were red or
black. The hat waa produced before the
Jury and was found to bo trimmed with
blue flowers. Mrs. Hayes put the hat on
and adjusted the veil as she said she wore
it when she was in the Jewelry store.

NEW PRIMARY LAW- A PUZZLE
Question of Method of Appointing;
Clerks nnd Jndarea to Bo
Elucidated.
Another knotty question arising under
the Dodge primary law has been submitted
to County. Attorney Slabaugh for solution.
The question involves the method of ap
pointing clerks and Judges of the primary
election to be held July 8.
The law originally provided for registra
tion in connection with the primary, and
as the registration is carried on under the
auspices of the city, provision was made in
the law that the city 'clerk' should appoint
primary election. boards in Omaha. The rfu
preme court knocked out the section pro
viding for the holding of registration and
the question now comes up whether the sec.'
tlon providing for the appointment of the
board by the city clerk goes out with It.
Under the general , election statute the
boards would be appointed by the district
clerk. ; ! i
County Attorney Slabaugh will give
written opinion to the county clerk on the
matter some time In the near future.

The home of Count John A. Crelghton
at tho northwest oorner of Twentieth and
Chicago streets was gutted by fire yester
day afternoon. The Interior of the house
with its wealth of furnishings and value
able collection of paintings, relics and me
mentoes, was almost totally destroyed.
The Are 'originated In the count's den
at the southwest corner of the house and
was not discovered until the fire had gained
considerable headway. The count and his
brother-in-law, John A. Schenck, are at
Mount Clemens, Mich. Count Crelghton
was advised yesterday evening of the fire.
The loss will be many thousands of dollars,
well covered by insurance, but the value
of the count's collection of personal ef-,
fects and books cannot be estimated In dol
lars, aa many of the articles destroyed had
a personal value which could not be. re
placed with money.
During the absence of the count and other
members of the household the place was In
charge of Mrs. Mary Cotter, who has been
tfie count's housekeeper for twenty years.
At the time of the fire ahe was down town
having a dress tried on and waa not advised
of the fire until an hour after the alarm
was sent In. When she did arrive home
and viewed the wreck ahe was completely
overcome with emotion. She had to be
attended by women companions who were
on the scene.
Two Servants In tho Hons.
When the fire broke out the coachman
downstairs in the laundry room, while
servant was upstairs. Painters were
working at the front of the house and
were first advised of the fire by three boys
passing the front of the place. The alarm
was sent in from the Crelghton telephone
and when the department arrived, about
2:30. the flames were fast destroying the val
uable effects 'a which the count took much
pride.
According to statements of the painters
the fire 'Was caused by a gasoline torch
used In scorching old paint. In the count's
den was a large collection of books and
relics, all of which were destroyed. From
the den the fire spread over the first floor,
gutting the library, dining and living rooms.
A few paintings on the north wall escaped
damage. The upstairs was badly damaged
by fire, smoke and water. The fire was
confined to the Interior of the house.
Among the more valuable articles de
stroyed were two life-sized busts, one of
Pope Leo XIII and another of Kdword
Crelghton, the count's brother. In the den
was an autograph photograph of Pope Plus,
with the Latin inscription. "To My Very.
Dear Son, John A. Crelghton. Pope Plus."
That photograph was brought from the
pope by Bishop Scannell on his last visit
to Rome and was highly prized by Count
Crelghton.
Relies from AH Over World.
In the den were relics from notable per
sonages all over the world. , pne was a
framed document presented by Pope Leo
at the time Mr. Crelghton was commis
sioned a, count In the Catholic church. Of
all ihlS' valuable -effects It was Jcnown the
count 'took especial pride In his ) family
paintings, which, fortunately, were prac
tically saved, as neighbors and friends
made a rush for the paintings as soon as
the Are was discovered. A large painting
of the count's wife was saved Intact; his
mother's oil painting; was slightly dam
aged, but can be repaired; a painting of
Edward Crelghton, six feet square, was
not damaged, while nearly all other paint
ings of the Crelghton family were saved.
Owing to the Improvements being made
at the place when the fire broke out. five
valuable paintings had been stored In the
attic and were not damaged.
Nearly every bit of furnishing on the
first floor was ruined, while most of the
furnishings upstair were either wholly
destroyed or rendered useless. The In
terior of the house was badly scorched.
' The Crelghton home is an old landmark of
the city. It was known as the Lacy home
In tho early days and was erected about
forty-five years ago. Count Crelghton has
occupied the place thirty-five years. . Tt
represents the comfort and dignity of the
old architecture.
During tho fire Second Assistant Chief
Dlneen'a horse broke his hitching strap
and started out to make a run on his own
account. After making the ascent on
Twentieth street the animal waa stopped,
with no more damage than a broken shaft.
HEN THIEVES ARE DEFIANT
Marauders Apparently Will Not Heed
Dlro Threats of North Omaha
Protective Association.
It is evident from the police records that
chicken thieves are taking no thought of
the present temper of members of the
North Omaha Protective association, as
nearly all reports received of poultry
losses come ftom residents living within
the Jurisdiction of the protective associa
tion. Thursday night thieves took a brood of
thirty chicks from the premises of J. C.
Thompson, sOW North Forty-fourth street.
The chicks were a few days old. When
chicken thieves stole a few old hens now
and then from members of the North
Omaha Protective association the matter
was not serious enough to warrant call
ing a special meeting, but now that cul
prits are robbing the poultry cradles in
dignation has become such as to cause
rumors of a special meeting and dire
things for the first man caught stealing
from any member of the association.
Mrs. C. J. Christiansen of Calhoun drove
into town Thursday afternoon and re
ported to the police the loss of eighty
chicks stolen from her place.
OMAHA TO MAKE AUTO WHEELS
Loral Maanfartory Will Erect Baild
tngr Whero This Work
Will Bo Done,
The Eby Manufacturing company, which
will manufacture the Ie Jarnette .spring
automobile wheel, is said to be negotiating
for the erection of a building for the pro
posed plant. If the deal should fall, a
building will be leaked, and the company
will begin to make the wheela for market
before the summer is over.
The wheel Is the invention of James
F. De Jarnette of Omaha. It la said to
give 60 per cent moro resilience than ob
tained by an alr-filled pneumatic tire, this
made possible by the suspension of the
hub in the center of a system of oppos
ing coll springs, which, while the whe-l
revolves, keeps up a pulling or pushing
motion, resulting la a state of equilibrium
at the hub. To prevent collapse, false
spokes are used which slide In plates fas
tened to the rim and which touch the rim
only when great pressure is brought to
bear.
