MfiHTS OP ftl'lVJEIU TITRKED Ol
Klertrtca! Effect Mora nrtlllaat Taaa
Kver Before.
Never has a more beautiful and fairy
like spertsele been presented In Omaha
than lasl night when the. eight thousand In
randegcent lights burst forth In their soft
radlanoe of red arid white from the great
festoons gracefully drooping from the cen
ters of the intersecting" streets, on Pflrnam
from Tenth to Seventeenth, and on Six
teenth from Howard fd Burt. There were
similar shorter strttcMes on Douglas smd
odge, and along the cross streets east
ward to Fourteenth. The apexes of these
pyramids In red and- white lights were
caught from the highest buildings, and
with the ropes of white fights along each'
side of the streets gave (he effects of long
electrical bowers, made additionally Beau
tiful by the mafly electrical decorations
of stores, theaters and hotels In the Ak
Par-Ben colors. Added to these all of the
electrical signs ware reproduced In the Ak
Gar-Ben Colors, making the whole a scene
or Indescribable beauty.
The city hall was. the only building that
was ilumlnated In outline, and even that
Is not yet completed .The effect on that
building Is .much .enhanced by great fea
toons ,of bunting In Ak-Sar-Ben colors.
Another extremely pretty effect was that of
ths Kmg theater, whlrh Is brllllanty set off
with the carnival colors In Incandescent
lights, and looked, much like a huge elec
trical boquet. I .
In .the initial trying out of the great
ropes of colored lights, some slight defects
were discovered, . but not enough to mar
the harmonious effect of the whole and
those were soon remedied. The scene frcm
Seventeenth, street looking eastward on
r'arnam, and from f'arnam northward on
bixunuh was one of extreme beauty and
van ul;:i'red by , thousands. The general

"RUSTIN DID NOT KILL SELF"
Statement by Dr. Lavender at Hear
ing of Charlei E. Davit.
DEFENSE APPARENTLY STARTLED
Coroner's lh r lrlnn Makn Tklo A
arrtlon Before Uitrtri for D
feasant fun InUrpoi
Objection.
(Continued from First ra;e.)
Rustln not ti answer the next question of
the county attorney until he had made s.n
objertlon.
"We had Just as well settle this matter
now." said Mr. Ourley, after objecting to
Mrs. tliifstln statins; to the court what her
dying husband had told her.
"There U no theory In lav on which that
answer can be admitted In this case, and
I will bring many authorities here to show
the court the Impossibility of admitting tile
answer to that question. It would be hear
say and It cannot come Into this case. If
the court has any doubt on the matter I
shall be glad to argue the point at any
time."
The county attorney retorted:
Yen. It tan, Sara Enarllsh.
'Now, I don't care how much time the
counsel takes In making arguments on this
matter. He can stand here and read all
the authorities and read about all the
cases he pleases, but when "we are all
through w will find that the circumstances
In this rase control the question and that
the answer given by Mrs. Rustln can be
admitted." '
"Well, we won't take up the time now,
as everyone within a thousand miles of
Omaha knows what Mrs. Rustln's answer
will be and I had Just as soon the court
room of people would hear It. But we
will argue later as to whether It Is to re
main In the record," said Mr. Qurley.
The county attorney agreed to this and
Mrs. P.ustln replied that her husband said
In explanation of how he was wounded:
"A man shot me."
Conrt Room Crowded!.
When Judge Crawford entered the court
room It was crowded' to the capacity and
the bailiff was kept busy keeping places
vacant for witnesses. Just a few minutes
after 10 o'clock trie county attorney arose
and said:
"It Is unnecessary to make any prelim
inary statement In this case, but we will
proceed at once to the hearing of Charles
E. Davis, who Is charged with first degree
murder."
Mrs. Martha Archer, who live at 4109
Farnam street, almost opposite the home
of Dr. Frederick T. Rustln, was the first
witness called. Mrs. Archer told of being
111 and sleepless the night of September
1 and the early morning oi September 2.
She said she did not know whether she
was awakened or was awake when she
heard the pistol shot which caused her to
get up and look out all the windows and
later go downstairs to Investigate.
On being questioned she said she looked
out of the north window of her home Im
mediately after hearing the shot and saw
nothing.
"The report was so plain that It seemed
to come from directly in front of the
Archer home, perhaps on the lawn," she
said, "but after going to the other win
dows I returned to the north window and
saw a light In the Rustln home. I heard
a woman scream, then children scream and
a thud as of a falling body. I saw a man
walking on the south side of the street",
going westward at a slow pace and with
his hat well drawn down over his' eyes.
Looked Like Working Man.
"Did he look like a working man?" asked
the county attorney.
"I believe he did."
"Did you think It strange to see a man
going along at that hour of the night?"
"No, I thought he was going home from
the election."
"As to his Blie; could you tell how big
he was or whether he was short?"
Here Mrs. Archer pointed to Assistant
County Attorney Elllck and said the man.
as near a "he couli set, was about the
size of Elllck.
Robert Archer testified that he was
awakened by the shot which made a report
so distinct and clear that It seemed to
come from his own porch.
"Dut I Just thought some one had shot a
dog," he said. "We hear a lot of Bhots up
in our neighborhood at night."
Better Look at the Clock.
Hut regardless of Mr. Archer's Indiffer
ence as to what the shot meant he testi
fied that he told his wife they should
strike a match and see what time It waa
as they might want to know some time.
He said he did this and his watch, "which
kept good time," showed it to be 3:25,
which was probably ten to fifteen minutes
after the report of the pistol shot. Mr.
Archer told In almost the same words as
his wife of seeing a light in the Rustln
home, hearing a woman, then children
scream and a noise as of something heavy
fulling. He said he did not see a man or
anyone when he looked out at the north
window.
Dr. Lavender was the thlid witness called.
When the county attorney called Dr. Laven
der, Dr. M. Langfeld, a witness, appeared
at the bar and said to County Attorney
English:
"I have more Important business than
staying here all morning."
The county attorney looked at the phy
aician a minute and shaking his glasses
at him, replied:
"You are here on a subpoena, are you
not? and you will stay here just as long as
we need you. I am the one who says 4n
what order witnesses shall be called."
Detail oi the Story.
Dr. Lavender then proceeded with his
story, the attorneys giving him the greatest
liberty In expressing his opinions, the find
ings and conclusions reached by perform
ing the autopsy on the body of Dr. Rustln.
He told in detail of tracing the bullet
which killed Dr. Rustln and of finding it
untnarred laying against the spinal column.
"It weighs eighty-six grains," said the
coroner's physician," and had It been fired
at close range and passed as It did only
through thin tissues, I believe It would have
gone entirely through the body or Imbedded
itself In the spinal column. I have ex
amined several hundred people who have
been killed by bullets and this is my belief
based on my experience."
Attorney Gurley asked the coroner's ex
pert If the amount of powder back of the
bullet would not have something to do
with the velocity and force of the ball.
"It certainly would," replied the physi
cian. "But 1 have taken all things Into
consideration, the thickness of the vest
through which the ball passed, the muscu
lar abdominal walls of the athletic physi
cian, the fact tnat the ball passed only
through Uiln tissues, through the thinnest
part of the liver and finally through the
small blood vessel, the vlna cava. Then I
found It turned point downward and lay
Ing lightly against the spinal column."
Dr. Lavender testified that no trace of
powder could be found In the bullet wound
In Dr. Rustln's abdomen, but the cloth
of the vest waa slightly scorched around
the hole made by the bullet.
Mrs. But la an the Staaa.
Mrs. Frederick T. Rustln was then called
to the stand. She waa walling In an of
fice outside the "court room. She retold
the story of the evening of September 1
and esrly morning of September 2, when
she bad her husband good bye st Fortieth
and Farnam streets soon after 7 o'clock
in the evening, and found him dying from
a bullet wound In a ship chair on their
front porch, after being awakened by the
report of a pisteL
Both the county attorney nnd Mr. Ourley
showed Mrs. Rustln the utmost courtesy
during the hour she was on the witness
stand and her testimony was given almost
as she tola the etory to officers, and later
the coroner's Jury. She was given great
liberty In making little explanations, which
Would not ordinarily be admitted by a
court If one of the attorneys objected.
In answer to questions she said:
"Fred, my husband, wss conscious when
I asked him what was the matter and when
he replied 'A man shot me.' I have always
believed that he could tell me more. After
telling me that he also told me to send
for Dr. Lord, and when I wanted another
surgeon besides he suggested Dr. Rich.
Then he only muttered."
"What did he mutter anything Intelli
gible?" she was asked.
"Ves. I think he said Tolly, oh, Polly.'"
-"Do you know to whom he referred when
he said Folly?"
Didn't KnoTT Who It Was.
"I do not know to whom he was re
ferring, nor did not know then."
As to whether Dr. Rustln had hi hat on
when found by his wife In the porch chair,
Mrs. Rustln did not know, but offered the
statement that If he had been bare-headed
she would have probably noticed It. She
said she telephoned to Mrs. Luther Kountse
and asked her to go over to the Rustln
home and comfort the children. She said
Mrs. Kountze was there when she returned
from the hospital and the house had been
straightened. She said she did not know
who picked up the physician' straw hat
and placed It on the hall tree, where It
was found by detectives.
On question was asked Mrs. Rustln by
Attorney Ourley which foreshadows the tes
timony to be given by Officer Morgan, to
whom Mrs. Rustln talked at the Clarkson
hospital after Dr. Rustln's death.
"Did the officers ask you at the hos
pital If Dr. Rustln told you anything be
fore he died?" she was asked.
"I don't remember what waa said at the
hospital."
"Did you not tell this detective, Morgan,
that Dr. Rustln had died without saying
one word?"
"I certainly could not have told him that,
as Dr. Rustln did talk a little."
"Arc you sure that you did not tell the
detectives that Dr. Rustln did not ay any
thing?" "I am sure I did not tell them that, If I
told them anything. I told the firsts of
ficers to whom I talked Just the same thing
which I have told so many times ainre
that Dr. Rustln' did tell me a man shot
him and did suggest that I telephone to
Dr. Lord."
Say She Did Not Scream.
Mrs. Rustln also testified that she did
not scream or did not think she did, except
when she called her servant to assist her
In getting her husband In from the porch.
She also said the children, whom the
Archers said screamed, did not scream, but
got Into bed with each other and she
stopped to comfort them when going Into
their room after the water bottles.
In answer to a question by the county
attorney Mrs. Ruetin said she did not see
a pistol either on the porch, In her hus
band's hand or around the house,
"I don't believe" I ever saw one except
In show windows," she added.
With Mrs. Rastln's testimony, the stories
of the ArcheYind 'the story of the" Rice
woman told before the Inquest conflict In
some details, -
Mrs. Rustln said she was called to the
telephone by Dr. Rustin at 10:30, when he
told her he was leaving the office. About
twenty minutes later she retired and went
to. sleep, not awakening until she heard
the pistol shot. The Rice woman has
sworn that she cnlled the physician's home
by telephone and talked to Mrs. Rustln.
Mrs. Rustin could give no Idea as to the
time when she heard the pistol shot.
"I did not see a watch or clock until I
saw Dr. Rustln's watch lying on the desk
after the physicians had arrived and taken
It from his clothing. It was then 4:20, 1
believe, and Dr. Lord was calling the
Clarkson hospital."
With Mrs. Rustln's testimony, the morn
ing hearing was adjourned to meet again
at 2 p. m. Mrs.- Rustln may be called to
the stand later, after some of the other
witnesses have been heard.
Physician Tells Story.
Dr. M. Langfetd, the first physician to
attend Dr. Rustin, took the stand as the
first witness of the afternoon. He told of
being called to the Rustln home and at
tending the wounded man.
Asked If Dr. Rustln was conscious when
he arrived, the witness said he could not
say; that when he attempted to restrain
Dr. Rustln's right. arm, the wounded man
said, "Are you afraid of a shot?"
"Then he said something which I took
to refer to a gun and called his wife Polly.
That was all, I believe, which Dr. Rustin
said."
"Can you tell what time It was when you
reached the Rustin home?"
"I should say it was about ten minutes
to 4 o'clock."
" Did you see a gun on the porch or In
the house?"
"I did not."
"What was on the doctor's person?"
"Nothing but money, keys and a watch."
He then told of the calling of the am
bulance, the trip to Clarkson hospital, the
operation on Dr. Rustln's abdomen, whlrh
was found full of blood, and both the phys
ician and surgeon still believed there was
hope for Dr. Rustln's life.
"But he was In bad shape and the opera
tion was performed largely without an
anaesthetic, because of his low condition,"
County Attorney English objected to ques
tions asked Dr. Langfeld by Mr. Ourley as
to what Dr. langfeld told the officers
when they were called to the hospital, and
the court sustained the objections of the
prosecution.
Lord Told Police.
Dr. John P. Lord, the surgeon who at
tended Dr. Rustin and who was a partner
of Dr. Rustin from 1900 to 1904, was called
fr the stand and told of being called to the
Rustln home at 3:20 o'clock the morning of
September t.
When Dr. Lord told of the trip and pass
ing the man, he waa asked:
"Do you know Charles E. Davis?"
"No, lr."
"Did you see him September 11?"
"I did."
"Did you observe him closely?"
"I did."

"From your observtlon of the man
whom you saw on the morning of the Id
and Charle E. Davis, was there a resem
blance?" "I thought there was a similarity."
"Was this similarity close or otherwise?"
"Rather close."
Never Bare of Selclde.
Dr. Lord told of the scene at the Rus
tln home and said he did not think the
physician was conscious after he arrived.
He also told of Mrs. Rustln begging the
surgeon to wait If they rould for Dr. Rus
tln' mother to see her son before he
was taken away In the ambulance.
"Did you Inquire how Dr. Rustln was
Injured?" asked Attorney Ourley.
"I did not."
"Did you have any knowledge as to how
he was Injured?"
"I did not."
"From the Information you got over the
telephone, did you expect to look for any
one who had shot him?"
"No, I don't think that I did."
"Now, didn't you, when you were called
by Mrs. Rustln, have the suggestion come
to you that Dr. Rustln had shot himself,
and not that someone had shot him?"
This question aroused considerable dis
cussion, but the court allowed Dr. Lord
to answer and he said:
"There waa a conflict In my mind aa to
whether he shot himself, or was shot by
another."
Dr. Lord said he was within about l.'B
feet of the man whom he passed on Far
nam street, when he first saw him, and
watched him closely.
"Did you pick Davis out of the crowd
September 11, or was he pointed out to
you?" asked Mr. Ourley.
"He wai pointed out to me."
"You testified at the Inquest and did not
mention seeing a man, did you?"
"No."
"At the hospital, the morning of Sep
tember 2, did not Officer Leahy ask you if
you saw anyone, and did you not tell him
that you did not?"
"No, lr, I did not tell him any uch
thing."
"Did not you tell Detective Morgan that
you saw no one?"
"I did not."
"Tell about your conversation with the
officers."
"I told them that I had seen a man on
Farnam street, and we had to tell them
that we saw no gun and all the other cir
cumstance surrounding the shooting which
we knew."
. Mr. Koontic Takes Stand.
Mrs. Luther Kountze, a close friend of
Mrs. Rustin, followed Dr. Lord as a wit
ness and told of Mrs. Rustln calling her
by telephone from the hospital and asking
her to go over and look out for the chil
dren. Mrs. Kountze said she went to the
Rustin home about 9 o'clock and found
officers already there. She said she as
sisted in straightening things up and found
a soft straw hat, which she thought was
old, on a box in the hall. She said she did
not know how the hat got on the box, but
she hung It up on the halltree.
Fred J. Stack, undertaker. In the employ
of Bralley & Dorrance, told of receiving a
call for the ambulance early on the morn
ing of September 2, when Dr. Lord called
and told them to hurry, as Dr. Rustln had
been badly wounded. He suld he looked at
his watch and made an entry on the am
bulance record, showing the call came at
4:10 a. m. The record was produced In
court. With Don Moon, his HSslstant,Mr.
Stack drove to the Rustln home, going on
Farnam street from Twenty-fourth street.
He said that at Twenty-eighth nnd Farnam
street they passed a man walking slowly
oh the. south side of Farnam. street. -Mr.
Stack described this , man as short and
portly, dressed in dark clothing, dark hat,
and he thought it was about 4:30 o'clock
when the ambulance passed the man at
Twenty-eighth street
Don Moon, 322& Cuming street, the under
taker's assistant, confirmed the testimony
of Mr. Stack and described the man whom
they met at Twenty-eighth street, noticing
him particularly because of his slow walk.
"I thought he waa walking too slow for a
man going to work that early in the morn
ing," said the boy.
Clgrnr Stabs and Tablets.
Two white tablets and two cigar alubs
were lying on the porch the morning that
Dr. Rustln was shot, according to the testi
mony of Hannah Dineen, maid at the
Rusiin home. When she went out to
sweep off the porch, as was her custom,
she found one of the chairs, a steamer
chair, drawn close to the railing and par
allel to It. A cigar stub lay on the railing
near the chair. At acme distance from this
was another porch chair, and near this, on
the porch floor, was another cigar stub
and two small white pills, one of which
had been crushed, looking as if It had
been stepped on. She swept all of these
things off into the grass.
When Miss Dineen came home from Dun
dee the night before the tragedy, about 11
o'clock, she saw a man, she said, standing
on the northeast corner of Forty-first and
Farnam, who crossed the street to the
south when she approached. He walked
slowly and seemed undecided as to where
he wanted to go. Miss Dineen says he
walked west a little way on the other side
of the street, then came back and stood
directly across from the Rustln house and
was still there when she went In. He was
dressed In dark clothes, and waa of a
rather heavy build. He seemed to be
smoking.
Benjamin A. Keyes. night watchman, tes
tified that he had seen a man at Thirty
first and Farnam at'shortly after 4 o'clock,
who was walking east on the anuth side of
the street slowly. "He seemed to be sick,"
said Mr. Keyes, "and was very pale. He
walked slowly, with his head down, and
was mumbling to himself. He was short,
heavy, with a full smooth-shaven face, and
was wearing a dark suit."
"What would you say a to his resem
blance to this man?" asked County At
torney English, pointing to Davis.
"There 1b a very strong resemblance,"
waa the answer.
Harold I'nderhlll, the I taper carrier who
testified before that he saw Dr. Rustln
the night of the tragedy about midnight
was put on the stand repeated what he
had formerly stated, that he saw the doc
tor on the south aide of Farnam street,
while he was standing at an election booth
waiting for returns.
That there waa no one sitting on the
Rustln porch at 1:10 was the testimony of

C. H. !mstat, the conductor of the car
which left Farnam about 11:20 declared
that a woman strongly resembling Mrs.
Rice got on at that point and came to
some street east of Sixteenth. Ha noticed

OLD FIRM FORCED TO MOVE
Joseph F. Dlla Memo vet to Masonic
Temple Bulldlna ew Store,
Strictly t'p-to-Date, Modern
In Every Particular.
Joseph F. Bllx removes to 204 North 18th
street on account of expiration of lease
in Schlltt hotel building. Mr. Bllz has
been In business In Omaha for twenty
five years, the last fifteen years of which
time he has been located at 322 South
16th street. The business for the past eight
year has been managed by his two sons,
Mr. Bill having retired at that time. The
store Is one of the substantial business
houses of Omaha, and has long since pop
ularized Itself by strictly honest and
straight forward business methods.
In addition to a large line of dry gooda,
notions,' anI gents' furnishings, the store
has always been headquarters for yarns
and knit goods, the latter being the pro
duct of a factory operated in connection
with the store.
As Mr. lillz has decided to turn the
business, over entirely to .his two sons,
the firm name bas recently been changed
to' Joseph . F.: Bllz' Sons. The nev store
Is a great Improvement over the old, as
there 1 much more room and the ad
vantage of sufficient light. The front
has been remodeled according to the New
York Idea and It will pay anyone to make
a special trip to the store In order to In
spect the new front.
After It waa decided that the firm would
change Its location, a closing-out Bale
was held, and practically all of the old
goods on hand were disposed of. They
are not only In a new store now, but have
an entire new line of goods. The policy
which has distinguished the store In the
past will be strictly adhered to In the
future.
The formal opening was held on Septem
ber 19th, at which time large crowds took
advantage of the opportunity to see the
new store and Inspect the new goods.
A cordial Invitation Is extended to any
one who may desire to visit the store.

The nettlnH No Brian Money.
OMAHA, Sept. 113. To the Kdltor of 1'h:
Bee; There Ih no belling. The odds of 3
and 4 to 1. freely offered weeks ago In
New York on Tart, brought no Bryai.
money. Three days sgo the New York'
Times gave a challenge from a citizen of
Buffalo, N. Y., which Mr. Bryan always
"carry's" In September, but never by big
majorities In November, In which he offered
to bet $3.X0 to 4,UM-5 to 1 that Taft will
be elected, with "no takers." The same
paper of the Zlst Inst, prints a Chicago
special telegram which says: "No Bryan
bets In Chicago" on the outcome of tho
presidential election, for the reason that
"Bryan money remains In hiding." Repub
lican say that any offer of Bryan money
would be promptly covered, many times
over, and odds given. And yet Chicago Is
In Illinois, another mighty state which Mr.
Bryan'e ticket la going to "carry" in Octo
ber, but never In November, by only about
6ft,000 majority thla year. But for the fac
tions fighting Deneen for governor the ma
jority would be 100,000.
