court an aprrtlfatlon for a rehearing In the
isse of n. Mevd fihumwsy, convicted of
tha murder of Mra. Sarah Martin, and a

error In tha conduct of the ease.-
Tht brief la concerned with tha ess of
tha peremptory challenge. Judge Hamer
avert, In substance, that eeven of Shuni
way peremptory challenge were need In
an improper manner ant that after the six

Depoeltloa fj Omaha Wtmii,
The auit of Lena M. LJilie against the
Modern Woodmen on the Insurance policy
for tl.ooof heV murdered husband, Harvey
LUIIa, has dorenerated' Into a contest of
deposition. Although the suit I to be prac
tically a Rial of the question whether Mra.
Llllle killed her .husband, none of the ln
lereatlng featurea of the murder trial have
yet been developed and the testimony ao
far has dealt, with unimportant detail that
have been so often repeated In connection
with the caae that they have lost all In
terest. , . i
Abouf-tmv'-only Interesting or amusing
feature of the tjseprvoontrd today is the
effort of -tha Judg; . .d tha counsel for
the defense; to kefB'.jfrom the Jury any
mention of the 'riUoema i of the prosecution
of Mra. UHte in fuller county, several
years vai In spite M the watchful ef
fort of ,ih attorney and ihe Judge men
tion of the trial and . thi. outcom are
constantly Interjected Into the case. One
of the deposition on behalf of the plaintiff
here contained a statement concerning the
outcome of the prosecution that offended
against tha rule contended for by the plain
tiffs .After the aUtement had been read
to the Jury Attorney Burr was put in the
embarrassing position of having to object
to testimony offered by himself and to
mov that the' objectionable testimony be
trlcken . out. , ', .
Probably the most important of the depo
sition. 1 that of. Mr. Lucetla Better of
Ofnsl;. 6h lived In David City, a neigh
bor of the Ul)le..at the time he wa killed,
the-, tell .; In her deposition, of seeing a
atier.g train running down the sidewalk
from the XJllle.hom Pt her home on.
the morning of October W, 1902 and about
the hour that Mr. Lfltle wa hot. She
tiescrtbed th man In detail. He waa a
man of medium site,, dark complexion,
wore a black slouch hat and dark suit.
8b said that he wa running when she
flrt saw him and that ha kept on running
a long a she could see him. She did not .,
think much about It until after she hoard
of the murder, for she had not heard the
shot fired, one of which killed Mr. Llllle.
This corroborates the testimony of Mrs.
