Justice Peter Rlef of Lewis township
decided yesterday that the evidence was
sufficient to warrant him binding over to
the grand Jury Mrs. Agnes Morris of
Omaha, who was arrested 8unday evening
at Lake Manawa on suspicion of being n
pickpocket. Mrs. Morris' bond was placed
at 3600, which later In the day she suc
ceeded In furnishing and was released
from the county Jail.
Mrs. Morris was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff O. T. Frary, who testified that
several persons had called bis attention
to the woman, and when he arrested her
she had her hand In the pocket of a man
who later proved to be L. Cohen.
Mrs. Morris, who Is a young woman 2"
years of age, denied the charge and sal :
she had been at the lake with her mother
and father and had been In their com
pany the whole afternoon, with the ex
ception of a few minutes before she was
taken Into custody. This part of her tes
timony was corroborated by her lather
and mother. L. Cohen, the man In whose
pocket Officer Frary sold Mrs. Mouls had
her hand when he placed her under nr
rent, testified that he was unaware that
the woman had her hand In his pocket
and he had lost nothing.
Mrs. Morris resides with her parents
at 708 South Seventeenth street, Oinaiia.
Number of Empty Popketbooka.
A number of empty pocketbooks wero
found on the grounds at the lake resort
and outalde the fencea yesterday morning,
showing that the light-fingered fraternity
had reaped a harvest Sunday among the
big crowd there. One pocketbook found
yesterday la evidently the property of J.
C. Trumbull, an employe of the Western
Car Servlco association, as it contained
a number of railroad passes made out in
his name.
All of the men arrested Sunday at the
lake for disorderly conduct were fined $li)
and costs each yesterday by Justice Rlef.
Frank Judaon, one of the men arrested,
was a bit taken back when brought be
fore Justice Rlef yesterday to recognise
In the Justice the man whom he had
struck and. who had him arrested. Jud
son, with some companions, started a
free-for-all fight In Rlefs place outside
the enclosure and in the mlx-up got his
face more or less badly marked.
Mowery Discharged.
After a hearing before Judge Snyder in

charged with having knocked William Mil
bourn down with a lantern In the yards
of the Northwestern railroad, leaving Mil
bourn unconscious by - the tracks where
he was run over by a switch engine and
his right arm severed by a passing switch
engine, was discharged. .
MUbourn's statement was to the effect
that he, Mowery and James Kelly, after
visiting several'saloons, went to the North
western roundhouse to enquire about some
work Kelly was expecting to get. On the
return Mllbourn said he was at ruck from
behind with a lantern which he believed
Mowery was carrying. He did not re
member anything more until he regained
consciousness in the ambulance on hla way
to the hospital the next morning.
The teatlmony of aeveral employee of
the Northwestern wag to the effect that
Mllbourn waa found 800 feet from the
place where he claimed he was knocked
down. Other evidence showed that Mll
bourn and hla companlona had been drink
ing freely from a quart bottle of whisky
and that there had been a dispute among
them as to who owned what was left.

Grant enticed W. H. Ray, a farmer from
near Missouri Valley, Ia., over from Omaha
to Council Bluffs. It happened, however,
that Ray possessed only 32,83 In cash,

liorenaen swooped down on them and
pieced them under arrest.
Miller accosted Ray on the Tenth street
viaduct In Omaha and after a few minutes
conversation suggested a car ride to Coun
cil Bluffs. Miller and Ray' alighted from
the car at Bayllss park, where they took a

an old friend. Grant was Introduced to
Ray and then a dice game waa proposed.
Some one spotted the trio and suspecting
that the man from Missouri Valley waa
being played for a sucker telephoned police
headquarters with the result that Miller
and Grant, whom It later developed are
known to the Omaha police as grafters,
were arrested. The charge of being va
grants waa entered agamst them at the

Harry O. Bates, a young man of Oakland,
Pottawattamie county, aged 21, and Pearl
O. Bates, from Wheeler Grove, who said
she was eighteen, braved the heat and
dust yesterday and drove overland from
Oakland to this city to secure a marriage
license, but met with disappointment. The
girl did not look the age she said she
was and as a matter of fact neither did
the young man, but he secured the pres
ence 4t Dr. Tobey. who formerly resided
at Oakland .to testify that he was of legal
age. "As I was present when this youn?
man was born," said Dr. Tobey. "I can
certify to his age, but I cannot as to the
age of the young woman." Although of
the same nsme the young couple were In
no way related, but hoped soon to be.
They appeared very crestfallen as they left
the office of the clerk of the district court
and reentered the rig In which they had
driven so many miles only to meet dis

"more familiar with the testimony than
anybody else," Is an answer to a published
statement that tbe testimony conclusively
showed the soldlurs of the Twenty-fifth
battalion did the shooting.
Mr. Foraker says In part:
"The testimony given by the soldiers In
their own behalf is not, in my opinion,
shaken by the testimony given by the cltl
sens of Brownsville. The officers of the
battalion have tsutlfled generally and spe
cifically as to the darkness of the night
the town was shot up. According to this
testimony, In thu language of Major Pen
rose, the night was so dark that he could
not distinguish one of his officers, who
were all white men, from one of his en
listed wen, who ware all colored, at a dis
tance of ten feet, nor could he at that dis
tance tell anything about how a man was
dressed.
"AU Uiese officers bare teetUed that ths
claims of the cltliens who testified thst
they saw the raiders and recognised them
as soldiers at the distance and under the
circumstances stated by them, are uttetrly
Impossible. At one time, when the rase
was only partlslly Investigated, they were
of the opinion, and franklv stated It, thst
their men were guilty, hut that fsct only
strengthens .their testimony as they now
give It thnt the testlmonv of the cltlsens
by which they claim to Identify their sol
diers. Is utterly unreliable, untrustworthy
snd by them unbelievable.
"I hve no hesitation In saying that tho
testimony taken down to th's time utterly
falls. In my opinion, to show thnt the sol
diers, or sny of them had anything what
ever to do with the shootlng-up of Browns
ville. "I shall take this occasion when I spenk
at Wllherforce next Thurdsv to deal with
this subject at some length."
KAUFMANN CASE NEARS END
Defense Rests and State t ommencrs
Introducing; Testimony In
Itebnttnl. ,
FLANDREAV. B. D., June 18.-(Speclal.)
Telegram.) The trial of the Kaufmann
murder esse Is nearlng a close. It Is ex
pected that by tomorrow noon and per
haps before thst time, the dlTorlng of evi
dence will have been concluded and that
the summing up will commence. Tonight
everythlnglnllcatea that the case will go
to the Jury aome time on Wednesday. The
first witness culled by the defense this aft
ernoon was Q. C. Bray, a Sioux Falls
liveryman, who for some years cared for
the Kaufmann horses and vchlclos at his
establishment. His testimony referred
largely to his having on six or seven oc
casions known of Mrs. Kaufmann having
taken Agnes Polrets, her domestic, driving
with her. At the conclusion of Mr. Bray's
cross-examination Judge Frank R. Alkens
of defendant's counsel announced that the
defense rested.
This was something of a disappointment
to hundreds of the spectators, who had
gathered In even larger numbers than dur
ing any previous sessions In the expecta
tion that there was a possibility that Mrs.
Kaufmann would herself be called to the
witness stand to dispute some of the state
ments of Peter Erlrkson, the former hired
man of the Kaufmanns and star witness
for the Prosecution. ' Notwithstanding the
disappointment of those who wrere curious!
to see wnat sort of a figure Mrs. Kauf
mann would cut on the witness stand under
the cross-examination of Attorney Egan
of the state, the spectators remained in
the court room, not abandoning It until
court adjourned for the day.
Upon the announcement of tho defense
that it rested, the state commenced the
offering of rebuttal testimony. The first
witness called was Arthur A. Bnashall, a
Bloux Falls undertaker, who testified . for
the state In the main case. He wss asked
as to a conversation between himself and
Dr. Germain and Moses Kaufmann, hus
band of the defendant, In reference to the
dead domestic, but the defense objected to
the question and was sustained.
Miss Janet E. Larson. aiinertnonn r
the hospital at Bloux Falls where the girl
died, was called to the Witness stnn1 hut
nothing material was secured, ns objections
to the nature of the questions were made
by the defense and sustained. Dr. Frank
E. Coulter of Omnha, one of the state's
medical experts, was asked a ntlmher of
questions bearing upon the medtaal features
of the case.
Mrs, J. T. Udell of Sioux Fsllo. who lived
In close proximity to the Knufmanns.
asked If she ever heard any peculiar noises
or sounds In the Kaufmann home. The
defense objected to the question on the
ground that It should have been asked
when Mrs. Udell testified In the main p
and the objection was sustained.
At this Juncture Attorney Kean of the
prosecution asked that he be nei-mitt
to reopen the case, but objection was made
by the defense and Judge Smith sustained
the objection, holding that to reopen the
case would make necessary the summoning
of new witnesses and would thereby pro
long the trial.
Dr. Alfred H. Movlua of nantnn
Dr. H. B. Schofleld of Parkston. as well
as Dr. Arthur Sweoney of 6t. Paul, gave
rebuttal testimony as to the medical fea
tures of the case.
Peter TVIclrann - .w- .....
muKwa iui 1 1 1 o main,
was the last one called to the stand to give
rebuttal testimony for the state. The at
torneys engaged In a controversy as to the
linos along which he could testify on re
buttal and court was adjourned until to
morrow with the understanding that Judge
Smith would In the meantime go over the
record and ascertain whether certain re
buttal testimony by Erlckann could be ad
mitted. BAN ON THE SLOT MACHINES
