This Is the Jury finally selected Wednes
day morning to try Charles Pumphrey,
charged with the murder of Ham Pak, the
Chlnnae restaurant keeper, July 11.. Jeff
Davla. houseman for Paxton A Gallagher,
was chosen to fill the twelfth place In the
Jury box short)? after court convened
Wedneaday mori.inir.
County Attorney English at onoe began
his statement to the 'Jury and his graphlo
narrative of the clubbing to death of the
Chinaman together with the evidence of
Basil Mullen, the 17-year-old boy, who
turned state's evidence and repeated the
atory In detail furnished gruesome enter
tainment for a crowd that mora than half
filled the seats In the criminal court room.
Mullen was the first Important witness put
on the stand by the state and he told the
horrible details of the murder without hesi
tation. 1
Attorney Telser, who l defending
Pumphrey, waived his opening statement
to the Jury, but made formal objections to
practically every step taken by the state.
When ' Louis R. Boatwtck was called to
Identify four pictures of the Ham Pak es
tablishment Telser objected to the intro
duction of any evidence on the part of the
state owing to alleged Imperfections In the
Information, but the objection waa over
ruled. When Mullen mounted the witness
stand Telaer objected to the oath being
administered to him and after he hadbeea
overryled objected to his giving any testl
money, this objection also being overruled
by the court.
Pamphrey is Very Iferraea.
During the preliminary proceedings yoong
Pumphrey showed signs of great nervous
strain. When County Attorney English
was describing how Pumphrey and hla
companions beat the Chinaman to death
large drops of sweat stood out on
Pumphrey's face and he twisted around in
hla chair nervously. He showed the same
nervousness when Mullen told of the crime.
Mullen, who Is only 17 years old, testified
he had met Willis Allmack, the third of
tha accused trio. In the reform school at
Eldora, la., where both had been placed In
ISM. They remained until 1904 when they
were discharged. Mullen came to Omaha
from his home In Lenox and worked at
various places. He spent much of his time
with Allmack, who was working In Ham
Pak s chop suey house at 13d Douglas
street Mullen went home to spend July 4
and came back the Saturday following the
Fourth. He said he met Pumphrey In the
restaurant on the night of July , Allmack
Introducing him. The following night they
met again at the restaurant and the three
played cards. It was at this time the first
mention of the crime waa made.
Telia Ills Urxwrne Tale.
"I ssked Allmack," said the witness, "If
he had sny money. He said he didn't, and
Pumphrey said he didn't either. I aald we
will have to make a raid and Allmack
asked If we could not rob the Chinaman.
I said We could if we could get some
thing to knock him out with, and he s&ld)
we might use chloroform.".
Mullen and Pumphrey. were sent out to
get chloroform and went to the drug store
at the corner of Sixteenth and Howard
streets, but the clerk refused to give It
to them and they went to Punfphrey'g
room at Sixteenth and 'Jackson. On the
way, the witness aald, Pumphrey found a
pickax and he broke the handle off and
said he could fix the Chinaman with that.
He decided It waa too light, and going
into his room attached the weight from a
cuckoo clock to It with a strap. The wlt
ness here Identified the pickax handle, the
strap and the clock weight aa they were
handed to him by the county attorney.
"When we went back to the restaurant
Pumphrey told Allmack we could not get
the chloroform, but had got something that
would fix the Chinaman. Allmack aald he
did not want to hit him because It might
kill him. I said we might throw him down
and tie him and It was decided to do that
and I waa te turn out the lights In the
nan ana then go back and help it neces
sary." "Allmack told me to go down and turn
off the lights and close the hall dopr and
I did so. I went back and as I entered
the dining room 1 heard three whacks. It
sounded like someone hitting somebody and
then I heard a body fall. I ran back and
met Allmack, who aald: 'He's hit him. I
went Into 'the kitchen and saw Han Pak
lying on the floor In a pool of blood.
Pumphrey was atandlng pver hlra with the
club in his hand.
Chinaman Tries ta Defead Self.
'The Chinaman revived and attempted to
rise and Pumphrey hit him two or three
more licks on the side of the head and he
went down. Pumphrey then stood the pick
ax handle in the corner and tried to get
Han Pak's watch out of his pocket. The
Chlnamun rose to his knees and got a meat
cleaver from the table and tried to hit
Pumphrey. Pumphrey reached back for the
club again and the cleaver hit It and
bent Pumphrey rained a few more blows
on the Chinaman's head. He fell over and
kind of rubbed hla foot against Allmack
and said a few words to him In Chinese
and then dropped down Spain. "
The trio then went to pillaging the
clothes snd trunk of the Chinaman. All
mack said he thought there was from
13,000 to 14,000 In the trunk, but all they
found waa a handful of silver and about tV
in tills. Tlien they started for the Union
station to catch the early morning Rock
Island train.
At this point ia the testknony the noes
recess waa taken.

TRADES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Movement to Teach sad Dig-nifj Labor
Urged by F. W. Judson.
MAT 60LVE DOMESTIC PBGBLEM
Director Will Derate Remainder af
Ills' Terse ta Paahlnsj Kef arm,
Which. Be Sara Caa Be
Afferdea.
Speaking of the movement Inaugurated by
himself at the last meeting of the Board
of tilucatlon looking to the establishment
of trade schools aa part of the Omaha
school system, F. W. Judson said:
"I am only filling a vacancy on the board
and will go out In January. 1 hare had
this matter In mind for several months,
but until now the board was In no financial
condition to consider the subject. Now we
have the money In sight and I expect to
devote my remaining time on the board to
presenting facta and figures In relation te
the system so that, after I retire, the other
members may know the subject and may
put It Into force If investigation substanti
ates my position. '
"Most of the progressive cities of the
class of Omaha have at Inist the nucleus
of such a system. In Its manual training
department Omaha has the basis of. the
system, but It does hot go far enough.
principally .because there Is not room m
the buildings. In the high school about toe
pupils are taking manual training, while
more than l.fcN pupils are enrolled In the
other classes. In' the grades many of the
schools are not equipped with manual train
ing' devloes and It cannot be said the sys
tem as such Is really Installed as part of
the curriculum of the schools. Thle should
be done and then there -should be added to
it a school where children can secure the
rudiments of such trades aa are more
likely to be practiced in Omaha. Among
these may be mentioned carpentry, black
smithing, printing, book binding for boys,
cooking, sewing and like work for girls. It
Is as Important that the girls be educated
as cooks aa that boys be taught trades.
Might Solve Doaaestle Prebleaa.
"This system might have an important
bearing on the domeatlo servant question.
Today there are toe many girls who feel
that domestic work Is less desirable then
other forms of labor, even when the latter
Is more arduous and less remunerative.
This Is to a great extent caused by the fact
that little attention Is paid to the training
of cooks, while stenographers and book
keepers Are expected to put In study on
the subjects. If we can elevate cooking
and sewing to the basis of a atudy and
make them a part of the public school
system, they will be treated as more
respectable by those who devote their time
to the study, and housewives a well as
servants, will know what to da when It
becomes necessary to prepare a meal or
make a garmeat.
"On the same basis la the boy. An Idea
has sprung up that the trades are not aa
honorable as the professions. The schools
have from their inception been so con
stituted as to prepare boys for entrance
to professional schools. Those who de
sired to learn trades were satisfied te
leava school upon completion of the gram
mar gradea. This Is not as It shoald be.
The workman la a better workman because
he is educated and he should be able to
complete his schoul work and at the aame
tlms lay the foundation for hla work as
an artisan. We eannot complete the trade
education of children In the schools any
more than the business college can com
plete the education ef a bookkeeper. It
Instills the principles ef the work and a
few months practical work In the counting
house qualities tha student to take charge
ef a set of books. In the same way I
would have the trade school educate the
pupils, giving them, the principles of their
trade and leaving It to them to complete
their education y practice the shops."
