Ute. Km 11 Ruser of Chalco is tn the
Barpy county Jail at Papllllon with the
c iiargn agalmt her of being ait accomplice
In and accessory to the attempt to murder
her husband, made by John Slager early
on the morning of October 10.
County Attorney Itmgo of Sarpy county
went out to the Ruser farm, near Chalco,
Monday to decide upon the course to take.
He had determined that If Ruser wanted
to forgive Ms wife for conspiring to take
his life that aha might marry the Ruser
farm hand with whom she had carried on
the liaison he would permit him to do so
and not prosecute the wife. But Ruser
was .pot that ready to forgive. Instead
he will begin suit for a divorce at once
mid will retain custody of the 1-year-old
child. '
"No, I don't propose to forgive her and
I won't live with her. I am going to get a
divorce and keep my baby to myself."
That waa Ruser's reply to the county
attorney's inquiry to what he proposed do
ing. "I returned at once to Papllllon and drew
up the complaint and gave It to Sheriff A.
J. Bpearman, who has gone out to the
Ruser farm to serve it and bring the
woman lu to the jail," Mr. RIngo told The
Hoe over long-distance telephone Tuesday

cislon meets a cordial reeponse among the
people. He was Indifferent to public senti
ment, however, and did not determine on
his action until Ruser had declared his In
tention to break off with his wife.
And the man said, the woman she
gave me of tho tree and I did eat.
And the woman said, the serpent beguiled
me and I did eat.
It's the same old story of Adam and Eve
the man lays the blame on the woman
and the woman on the serpent, which. In
this case, Is the man.
j lie county attorneys says that, while
Mrs. Ruser has not repudiated her con
fession made to the Omaha detectives, she
Insists Slager and not herself Is responsible
for the shame and crime In. which both
are enmeshed and which has destroyed
homa. Slager, In his dull stupidity, say
"It's her fault. Bhe began It."
Slager still occupies a cell in the Douglas
county jail in Omaha. He seems utterly
Indifferent to his fata and makes no plans
lor his trial or hearing.
John Wants Matilda to Uo.
"I want Matilda to go to the peniten
tiary with me 1." I go and 1 guess I'm
sure going," said John Slager, who
attempted to kill Emil Ruser for his wife's
love.
John peered out through the bars at the
Douglas county Jail where his sunburn
Is fast leaving a blank looking face.
"When Matilda and 1 get out we will go
sornewhare and live a decent life. That's
all the plans I have. I ain't seen no lawyer
and don't know what Is coming to me. I
think that three years ought to be enough."
John asked Interestedly whether Matilda
(Mrs. Ruser) had "welched" and denied
her connection with the murder plot or
not, and when told that she waa "standing
pat." he said:
"Well, she's Just as guilty as me and
Emll Is doing the right thing by both us,
Ha could never have took her back. But
I don't know what to think of the mess.
I have thought about It some and they are
doing the rlicht thing.
Don't you think
'three years la enough?"
Officers who have charge of Slager are
surprised at his absolute Indifference to his
fate and that he should blame the woman
as he does for his "downfall." They are
inclined to think he Is a mental incapable
and does not recognize Justice from In
justice. He apparently does not realise the
crime which he committed against Emll
Ruser.
As a matter of fact the law says John
and Matilda, if convicted, would be en
titled to from one to twenty years in the
penitentiary, regardless of what John
thinks.
HASKELL SUIT NOT VALID
retltlon Could Be Made So, However,
by Attaching Affidavit, sva
Law teqalrea.
That the S9W.O0O libel suit petition fllad
by Governor Charlea N. Haskell of Okla
homa against William R. Hearst la not a
I valid petition and will have to be amended
j before the suit can be heard In court is the
opinion of attorneys who have examined
the document.
The petition is deficient In that It la not
veiifleil by the affidavit of Mr. Haskell or
his attorneys. While thla was evidently
an oversight on the part of the lawyers, It
Is not considered fatal by attorneys be
cause It has been customary for the court
to allow the verification to be added at
any time before the trial of the case.
The statutes rtlnitng to suits at law
provide that all petitions must be verified
l y en affidavit, either of the plaintiff or
the attorney, stating that the facta set
I forth In the petition are true. There Is no
! surh affidavit attached to the Haskell pe-
titk-n. The attorneys merely signed on the
tilaiJc spare under the prayer, not even a
blank form for an affidavit being attached
! to the document
As the petition stands now, neither Haa
j kcll or his attorneys have taken an oath
that Haskell has been libeled by the New
iork editor. The document merely says
iio has and lets It go at that.
U Is not bfdleved, however, the omission
will Invalidate the service on Mr. Hearst.
TWO FINE ROOMS FOR JURY
(.Barters Are Equipped la the District
Coart that Will Be torn
modloaa. Douglas county can now boast two of
the finest Jury rooms In Nebraska as ac
cessories to Its district court. The rooms
are Jusi being completed but the installa
tion of a closet In each of them by County
Plumber John Lynch. The plumbing is of
the latest style and the closets complete.
The rooms are light and airy and In
marked contrast to the dungeons In trip
basement. In which Juries were formerly
locked while arriving at their verdicts.
Another advantage of the new Jury rooms
Is that they are Inaccessible to the public.
Both of them open off the criminal court
room. They are on the third floor and
cannot be reached without going through
the criminal court room. With all mod
ern conveniences at hand It will be un
necessary now for jurors to leave the Jury
rooms except for meats.

He was hit between the eyes with some
thing that while it did not break the skin
crushed the man's ekull like it waa an egg
anell and he must have died instantly from
the blow and then after robbing the body
they disposed of It by throwing it In the
river, which Is very shallow at this place
and filled with sandbars, and tho body
quite evidently did not float far before
lodging where It waa found. It Is thought
that he was some young fellow who came
here to register and foolishly let It be
found out that he had some money with
him and lome thugs laid him out for It.

Commissioner John J. Ryder of Lincoln,
who discussed the political Issues of the

able and convincing manner. A number of
women were present and although the
heavy ralna left the roads in an almost

hurried to the front of the building, and
Marshall Kesterson was also quickly sum
moned. Together they quietly went Into
the store and followed the stairway lead

was found and covered with a plt-tol snd
told to hold tip his hands, which he did.
Mr. Hansen and the marshall quickly
searched the man and found him well pre
pared to get Into almost any building, as
he had a full outfit of burglar tools, con
sisting of keys and Jimmies of every kind;
also a loaded revolver and a flask of
whisky, and numerous straps for currying
away goods. He was taken to tho village
callaboose and a guard placed so as to not
allow his escape, and he will today be
taken to Kearney for safekeeping. A pal
