STATE WINS POINT
(Continued from Flrt Page.)
1 am going to object, and am prepared (a
argue that this part of her tory cannot
be admitted."
The county attorney replied that he
would be glad to ao put his queatlons that
the witness would not be compelled to
treapasa on around which Mr. Qurley
wanted to renerve fur argument.
"Ca'.l Abble nice." aald Mr. English, when
A. W. Larson, atreet car foreman, had given
some Information about the time certain
cara passed Fortieth and Famam streets.
"How old are you?"
"I u 19 last November the 30th."
Then the 19-year-old girl, with worldly
experience of a woman twice her age
and the face of one older, told of
her early life, being born In Allerton,
la , the daughter of a constable, of moving
with the family to Dea Molnea and her mar
riage to Irving Rice, a private In the
tailed States army, in 1906. She said they
were married by a United Brethren minis
ter, but she did not remember his name.
Then ehe told of going to Cuba when her
husband's regiment wae ordered there, of
bar return to the United States and that
ha) did not know the whereabouts of her
husband.
Gives Datee Directly.
Almost every date aaked for by the prose
cutor was given with directness by the
woman.
"When did you leave Des Molnea for
Omaha?''
"December 2, 1907."
"When did you meet Dr. Rustin?"
"December 23, 1907."
She told how she lived at Grace Walton's
resort at 911 Douglas street and the land
lady called Dr. Rustin to take care of her
when it became apparent she was going to
reed an operation. 8he aald Dr. Rustin
performed two operations on her at the
Clarkson hospital, one in January and the
elber In February of the present year.

you go?"
"To Urate Walton's."
"Did ynu aee Dr. Rustin there?"
"AlmoHt every day."
Mis. Kice said she lived at Walton's until
May 1, when she went to Council Bluffs
and lived at the Grand hotel for two
months. She swore that there she saw Dr.
Rustin every day and that he spent almost
all of his time with her to the neglect of
his prwtice.
After Mrs. Rice left the Grand hotel she
saya she secured two rooms at 714 North
Sixteenth street with a woman named Mrs.
Manning and there she was with the phy
sician dally, going from the Manning board
ing house to the Loyal hotel the latter part
of August, where she stayed a week. She
said she saw Dr. Rustin dally, and they
left the hotel because the proprietor re
quested them to leave.
Closing of Rnstln Career.
This testimony brought the story to the
dates comprising the closing chapters of
Dr. Rustln's life, and the woman told In
reply to questions of how the physician
told her of his business affairs; that he
had no money and no practice; many debts
and some notes at the First National bank.
"As to his Insurance I understood he
had almost 100,0X), which was all payable
to his wife," said the woman.
"Did he ever take up the question of
taking his life to secure this Insurance?"
"He did."
"When?"
"About a month before his death."
"How did he come to do It?"
"He wanted to end his life."
"How?"
"He wanted me to kill him."
"Why?"
"So It would not be suicide?"
"Did he explain?"
"Yes, he said the family could not got
the insurance if It was suicide and the
only arguments he used to get me to kill
him were that I must do it for the sake
of his wife and children so they could live
comfortably."
"Did yuu aceeed to his demands?"
"I did."
"What preparations were made?"
"He bought a gun."
Mrs. Rice then related the incidents con
nected with the first gun secured by Dr.
Rustin for her to shout him. It whs se
cured at a pawnshop in Omaha, taken to
he Loyal hotel, where she was sent for
artrldges. She bought the shells and took
them to the hotel. While trying to load
It she took out n screw which put the ham
mer to the bad and he went to Council
Bluffs with Dr. Rustin to tset it repaired.
English Produces (isa.
Attorney English produced a .32-caliber
revolver and gave it to the witners.
"Is that the gun?" he asked.
"It looks like the one I can see scratches
on the side near thls screw, which 1
believe to be the one I took out with a
silver knife at the Hotel Loyal."
Mrs. Hire said this Incident was two
weeks and three days previous to the
morning Dr. Rustin was shot, and it was
then planned for her to go with the phy
sician to his office 8unday evening. Au
gust 15, where she was to shoot Dr. Rus
tin and escape from the building.
"The shooting was' to take place quite
late," she said In an unconcerned sort of
way. "We wanted to wait until people were
off the street, but not until the street ran
topped, as we expected them to make
noise enough to deaden the sound of the
hot."
But the un waa broken and the couple
could not fix it. They had to postpone the
"job," aa Mr. Rice called It
County Attorney English had the woman
deKcribf where she was to Htand with re
lation to the, physician and where she waa
to shoot him. "Far enough away so there
wouid be no powder burns, and I was going
to shoot him in the abdomen so he could
live a few days." she said.
"Did he ever say anything about taking
his own life?"
"Never."
"Did he ever talk of being killed by
someone else?"
"Yes."
Traded for Another IMstol.
The gun was taen to Council Bluffs and
traded for another pistol the following
Thursday, August 20, and the couple re
turned to Omaha, meeting by appointment
at Seventeenth and Webster streets. They
went to the physician's office In the Fax
ton building about 8:30 o'clock, but the
physician looked out of the window and
saw that too many people were abroad.
Mrs.' Rice said he was afraid she could
not get out of the building without getting
caught and he suggested that they go out to
his home and that she shoot, him In his own
barn, where It would appear he had been
shot by footpads.
"Was this satisfactory to you?" asked
the county attorney.
"This was all right with me and we took
the car to Thirty-ninth and Famam
streets, yalked over to Forty-first and
Harney streets where we made the final
arrangements for the shooting: in the barn,
Dr. Rustin handing me the gun at that
point."
Mrs. Rice said she had been In the barn
before and knew the way, so she started
to go In the hack way; saw someone drive
by; lost her nerve and walked east on
Farnam street, wnltlng for a street car.
When a car came Roing east Dr. Rustin
irnt off. and she did not pet on.
"He was nngry with me for leaving him
and scolded me," she said. " 'You must
shoot me for my children's sake and for
the sake of my wife.' is what he said."
rirturn to the Barn.
Then the woman told of their return to
the barn ami the most dramatic incident
in her life of being alone for two hours In
a barn three miles from the city with a
m.in who was begging her to shoot him
nnd alternately threatening to kill her If
ho did not. Of Dr. Rustin calmly step
ping back a f.'W feet from her, with his
hands behind him and his coat back, say
ing. "Shoot me now shoot me now."
Without emotion the woman declared she
did not raise the gun to shoot, but re
plied. "I cannot do It, doctor I cannot
do It."
Then the physician arappled with her,
wrenched the gun from her hand and strug
gled In the darkness of the barn.
"t begged him not to kill me," she Bald,
"and we stayed there about two hours
until after the cars stopped, and we took a
carriage for Omaha.' the doctor going Into
Ills own home and calling one. He told me
if I did not shoot him that evening I woul.t
have to do It some time anvway."
Between this dramatic and tragic seen
in the barn, the woman told of the laps
of time until Tuesday evening, September
1. the evening before Dr. Rustin was shot.
She tohl of Seeing him almost dally at the
Millard hotel and the place of the Gleason
woman on Twelfth and Douglas atresia.
She said he stayed with her at the Gleason
place almost all day September 1, going
to his orfiee about t 30 or 4 o'clock In the
afternoon.
"When you went to the office In the aft
ernoon did ynu see a man there?"
"Yts "
"Had the phslclan abandoned the Idea of
your killing him?"
"Yes
"Did he do this before he saw anyone
else?"
"No."
"He left you to go out and s?e some one?"
"Yes. "
' Did you know who he went out to see?"
"No."
"Did you afterward ascertain who It
was?" !
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Some one called Charley."
"Do you know who It was now?"
'Ye, Charles E. Davi."
All of this testimony came without an
objection from the defense, but Attorney
Gurley kept warning the woman and the
county attorney that they were getting
about as far as he proposed to have them
without objection and argument and that
they must go slowly. When County Attor
ney English asked this question the climax
with Mr. Gurley was reached.
"When Dr. Rustin returned to you In
the private room after being out to consult
this person, was there anything then said
by him with reference to any change in
his plane with reference to his death?"
Mr. Gurley announced that he was ready
for the argument right then and that Mr.
Woodrough would present the arguments
for Vn Ucfense against admitting hearsay
testimony.
Mr. Woodrough had a big pile of law
books and argued for an hour, after which
adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock.
County Attorney English began arguing
when the hearing was called at 2 o'clock.
Kvldenr-e on HriolTer.
The court and attorneys agreed to ad
journ until 9:9) Saturday morning, but at
the' request of Mr. English the principals
were called back and the testimony of
Samuel Friedman, the Council Bluffs pawn
broker was taken. Friedman, who con
ducta a pawn shop at 63 Broadway, Coun
cil Bluffs, testified that a man answering
to the description of Dr. Rustin had en
tered his store with a revolver which he de

formed Rustin that it would be Impossible
to repair the gun at once, and offered to
trade a similar revolver for the broken
one, providing Rustin would pay one dol

Juveniles Start In on Little Graft

Carnival graft, conducted in a most viru

arrest of three Juveniles who are said to
be the owners of a thriving shoe shine

sters, who are only about 12 year of age,
agree with some "E. Z. Mark" to shine
their vlctlm" hoes for a dime, and then
refuse to finish the Job after polishing one
boot unless another dime Is forthcoming.
Patrolmen Bitter arrested Roy Elrod of
414 Hickory street, Ed Skellenger of ill

The merchants of Omaha have spared no
expense on decorations in honor of the

result the show windows throughout the

of the novel features of these decorations
is that no cloth Is used In the entire dis

MESSAGES FROM THE DEAD
Latest Lot of 'Communication" De
clared to Re a Mess of
Droolina; Idiocy."
Months and months ago certain eminent
member of the British Society for Psychi
cal Research made with more than thur
usual solemnity the portentous announce
ment that at last they had received from
the dead communications of a character
so ronvlr.clng that even the most skeptical
of scientists would have to give up his
doubts as to the possibility of such mes
sages. Recently a special cable dlnpatcli
from London presented what It Ih fair to
assume were fair specimens of these nt w
"proofs," and It must be confessed that
the were about the sorriest chicks ever
hatched bv prolonged Incubation.
8omo of the communications, presumably
typical ,.f the great mass printed in the
latest volume of the society's Journal, were
prose and some were verse, and It would
be hard to tell which were the most likely
to convict the author, whether dead or
alive, of drooling Idiocy. The poetry. In
deed, was rather worse km poetry than the
prose aa prose, but the latter was about as
bad It could be, eo far aa Its evidential
