The Abbe Spallmsaiil was the first scien

powers of the guttle Juice, but It was by
the careful and convincing experiments of
Beaumont that the foundation Of our exact
knowledge of its composition and actlvn
waa laid.
rteaumont waa an army surgeon, located
at an obscure military post In Michigan,
hlle it waa yet a territory, snd was called
upt n to treat a gunshot wound of tha
stomach in a Canadian voyageur Alexia
tt. Martin When the wound healed a
permanent opening was left by means of
which food could be placed In the itomach
and gastric Juice taken from It.
Beaumopt made scientific experiments
with his crude means and wrote a book.
which today Is recognised among the.
classics of physiology.
Beaumont biased the way ft r other scien
tists, so that today medicine knows what
tha stomach does wtih food and what food
does to the stomach.
Science alo knows what the gastrto
juices are and how to make them best for
the system.

DEFENDANT BEGINS TESTIMONY
Mrs. Ftnaner tollnvra Marjorle Klnif
on tmnn In Marder Trial. Latter
Telllea akerktnaT Tale Be
lfi Sobs and Tears.
"What manner of a man Is this Fred
banner who has robbed your daughter of
her purity and innocence; Infected her
with disease; thrown her onto the operat
ing table of a criminal physician; cast her
back Into your lap to die like a dog. and
then by using his father and mother
against you, prejudices your husband and
tesrs him away from you, breaking up your
nome. uut. tor heaven a sake, woman,
use some Judgment "
Dr. 11. J. McCrann of South Omaha tes
tified In Judge Scars' court Thursday aft
ernoon thai he made this summary of Fred
Banner's conduct In conversation with Mrs.
Flank Banner a short time before the
woman shot Fred Banner dead on the
streets of South Omaha last Jjly.
An hour later Mrs. Banner testified:
"I'ntll that moment I knew nothing pos
itively of what had happened to Marjorle
and it was the first intimation 1 had that
my daughter was infected wtih disease
besides suffering from tho operation."
"What did you then do?" asked Attorney
Gerlng. . .
"I do not know exactly."
"How did It affect you when the physi
cian made the statement."
"Well, I Just seemed to be lifted Into
the air and my head turned cold."
Defendant's Tale Not Ended.
After a few moments of silence, broken
only by Mrs. Banner's sobs. Attorney Gcr
Ing asked that court . adjourn for the day.
Mrs. Banner had not gone further in her
story than to tell of the conversation In
Dr. McCrann's office, which was not much
more than an hour before she shot Fred
Bsnner.
"The doctor had been treating Marjorle
for what he called septic peritonitis. 1 was
sure he had been deceiving me, after Mar
jorle. had told me her story and I went to
Dr. McCrann's office and told him that ha
lied, and he asked me In to sit down In his
piivate office and told me several times to
keep cool."
The woman then repeated a part of what
Dr. McCrann testified he had told her.
Mrs. Banner was culled to the stand un
expetcedly after a recess when It was ex
acted Dr. McCrann would be cross-questioned.
The South Omaha physician had a
hard time on the stand. He always lean
his story one word too far back for County
Attorney English and at one time tho
county attorney and Attorney Gerlng for
the defense were both shouting objections
Lt the court. Dr. McCrann was reeling off
testimony like a phonograph and Judge
Hears was threatening to fine the witness
if he (1 yi not be good.
"You are intelligent enough to answer
the questions without going too far," said
Judge Scars.
"I am not intelligent enough to tell what
these lawyers and the court want me to
do," retorted the physician.
Mis. Banner stepped on the stand at 4::'0
and testified for just one hour when court
adjourned. She told of her early life on a
ranch near Newport, Neb., and of marry
ing Fred King when she was 18 years of
age. After the family moved to South
Omaha and King ontered the wholesale
meat business, the girl Marjorle was born
and a hoy whom they called Fred. Soon
after the girl was born King began to
stay out nights and many times all night
The closer companions in their little home
during nights when Kin: was away some
where. Then they separated and Mrs.
King went to her father's home in Coun
cil Bluffs, whore the little girl was placed
in school and later in tho St. Francis'
academy.
Prank Banner I'nklnd to Girl.
t was in 1905 that Mrs. King, clerk in
an Omaha clothing house, met Frank Ban
ner, trader of South Onruha. according to
her testimony and a jear later they were
married, an agreement being made that
Marjorle should have a home with them
when she left the convent.
It wbs not long after she came to
live with ua until Frnk complained about
having my girl around as he thought she
occupied too much of my time and at
tention," said Mrs. Banner. "When we
were living In Wheeler county and
Marjone wanted t ct me out and visit us,
Krank did not want her to come."
Questioned as to the first meeting of
Msrjorle and Fred Banner. Mrs. Banner
said the girl met Banner ut their home In
South Omaha after the family returned
there to live in September. 1907. going out
with him In December of the same year.
"Did Frank warn you about your
daughter going out with Fred?" the wit
ness was asked.
"Yes. he said Fred did net go With
Mxrjorie for any good purpose, that he
would not go with liny woman for good
and If he had two drinks of whisky In him,
he would drag any little girl into the
gutter."
"Did you tll MarJ.-rle this''"
"I did, and the sa'd she did not believe
It because Fred had treated her all right
and Frank tire down every man or woman
whom he discusser)."
Says Girl Called t He Names.
Mrs. Banner told of t!ie duy Frank Ban
ner came home and packed up his trunk,
taking It over to his mother's home, and
then returned to grab Marjorle by the
shoulder, call her Indecent names and tell
her that Fred had told him about the
operation. Mrs. Bsnner ssld she tried to
reach Frank the next day and called up
tha home of Joseph E. Bsnner several
times. "Once acme of his folks said back
over the telephone, 'If you know what la
good for you, you will not call up this
number again."
The witness told of the visit of Mrs.
Joseph Banner to her home when Fred
Banner's own mother said her son was
net a fit person to keep company with
Marjorle and also testified that Mrs. Itan
ner had told her, "Marjotle Is Fred's
mistress nd everyone In South Omaha
knows It."
The story of Marjorle King was toJd at
the morning session almost without ues
tloning. The girl told of meeting Fred
Banner first at the home of her mother
In the fall of 1907, and that she went out
with him In December of that year. After
the first time she accompanied Fred Ban-
ner at a theater.
Frank Banner said to
her, "You better not go
out with Fred
si all, as he is not going with you for any
good purine"." Her mother also warned
her net tu go with Fred, but she went
many times without her mother's knowl
edge. "During this time Frank Banner was In
solent to my mother and sent me to Coun
cil Bluffs to my stint's home becauae he
said he was tired of having two woirien
around." said Majurle.

many tears. Marjorle King, told her story
to the Jury in Judge Sears' court Thursday
morning.
The atturneys for her mother finished
questioning lie giil st noon and she was
not cross-qu-'btioned by the state until aft
ernoon. While the girl, who Is 19 years of age.
and looks vo,tnt;e.", was telling her story
Mrs. Banner waa In tears, while her former
husband, Fr.inK King, the girl s father, and
Frank Bauner. who left the accused Just
before she rhot his brother, were seated
with wltnesnea. guzing intently at !he
little witness.
Attorneys English and Gerlng clashed
frequently and now and then Gerlng got
too strong for the court and apologized
for saying that the state seemed to have
the best of everything In the courf.
Girl's Simple Story.
The story of Matjoilo King was told al
most without questioning. She began back
when sin wif going to school in South
Omaha, then told of her mother's great
devotion 10 her and to her little brother,
Fred King, now dead. After Fred's death.
she said, her mother's care and devotion to
her was even more Intense, especially
when they began to be left aione at nights.
When King lett her mother, she said, she
was sent to the St. Francis academy In
Council Bluffs and her "mother supported
her there by working lis the Nebraska
Clothing company's Hero. She was 11 years
of age then und her mother kept her in
the convent for more than two and a
half years altogether; she was 15 years of
age when she left the academy, after her
mother had married Frank Banner. She
understood she was to have a home with
her mother and her second husband when
she left schjol In June, 190.
All this testimony was admitted, the de
fense leering to show how much the
mother waa wrapped up In the girl and
that after all these years of care the con
fesbion of her daughter of her relations
with Fred Banriet was sufficient shock to
derange her mind, at least temporarily
and she. shot Fred Banner.
"I did not get along when living with
my mcther and Mr. Banner," she said
"He friqnently told me thst I would either
have to leave or he would, and he did not
speak to my 1 .other. I remember one time
when he would not talk to her for five
months."
Warned by Fred'e Brother.
The girl told of meeting Fred Banner
first at the home of her mother In the fall
of 1SW7, and that she went out with him in
December of that year. After the first time
she accompanied Fred Banner to a theater
Frank Banner said to her, "You better not
go Out w ith Fred at all, as he Is not going
with you for any good purpose." Her
mother also warned her not to go with
Fred, but she went many times without
her mother's knowledge.
"During this time Frank Banner was in
Solent to my mother and sent me to Coun
cil Bluffs to my aunt's home because he
said he was tired of having two women
around," said Majorle.
In detail the girl told the incidents of the
day if the murder of Fred Banner by her
mot liar. She had wired for her father to
come to Omaha, and he arrived the even
ing before the homicide. He had a talk
with Mrs. Banner, his former wife, and
returned the next day to say, according to
the girl's story 1
"The rumors about Marjorle are true, as I
have talked with both Frank and Fred
Banner and they have told me about her,
I do not want anything more to do with
either one of you and never want to see
Majorle again."
"My mother Uld him to leave the house
at once, aa he was mistaken," said the
girl. "After he waa gone I told my mother
that what he said was true and that the
illness with which I had been suffering for
five weeks was not caused by what I told
her, but by an operation performed by an
Omaha physician.
"I told her about the first time I was
misused by Fred Banner and that he prom- 1
laed ti marry me If anything happened to
me. I said we went to a theater and then
took a walk. The- next time 1 saw Fred
we did not speak, but one time I met him
and he apologized and said he would stand
by me. We went to Council Bluffs, when
1 told him I wai In trouble and when
we were sitting In Fatrmnunt park I
'egged him to marry me. But he said. 'No,'
and we did not decide anything until sev
eral days later, when he wanted the opera
tion. He said he would not marry me and
finally I Cuiisemed. He went with me to
lli physician's ot f ice In the Brown block,
Omaha; then iu uccompanled me to the
home of my aunt in Council Bluffs.
"After I h i I been th -re a few days I
came bick to Sutith Omaha and went to
be.l. I did not tell my mothtr what was the
matter, but told her something else.
Act-nard by Wtepfatber.
"One day, the duy Frank Banner left my
mother, l.e came home angry. 1 waa sitting
up getting well. He walked over to me
and taking ret by the shoulder, called me
an Indecent name, and said, 'Fred has Just
told me uuou: taking you to an Omaha
doctor for an eration, and It Is you who
is driving your mother Insane."
The girl told of the Incidents of the
evening of the homicide und how her
mother took her over to the Wln.gurd
home, I r ranging for her to stay there.
Then she went down town and returned
about t: o'clock.
"Wt were on the porch when she came
up. We went In the house and lighted a
lmp. My n, other's face was sll drawn
und her hands were cold. I asked for some
alcohol and there was none In the house,
so Mrs. Wlnegard sent for a bottle and
we rubbed my mother s arms and hands.
We stayml down stairs until about mid
night and t noticed my mother did not
Improve, but her eyes rolled from side to
side and her Hps wer parched blue.
After we were alone up stairs any
mother did not remove her clothing, but
threw herself across the bed for a few
minutes at a time. She Srould then get up
snd rub her hands. She rubbed her right
hand with her left and said over and overt
This is the hand this Is the hand.' but
she said nothing about having shot Fred
Banner."
Mrs. wlnegard Testifies.
Mrs. Wlnrtrard, who had previously tes
tified thst Mrs Banner was onlv nervous
when sho came to her home the night of
the shooting, wa recnllcd to the stand by
the defense. She admitted getting alcohol
and assisting Majorle tu rub Mrs. Banner's
rms.
The severe clash between attorneys came
when Gerlng wanted to usk Majorle King
If she nad been a good girl tip until the
time she begun ti go with Fred Banner.
The jury wis excused while the attorneys
argued and the state replied: "Don't you
think the attorneys for the defense would
object If we sought to Introduce evi
dence here to show that Mcjorle King wss
not good a, 1. 1 that the rumors were true
about her?"

who returned Thursday from a trip to
Denver and Salt Lake City, accompanied
by W. H. Murray, assistant general pas

General Manderson
Practical, Joker
Messrs. Wakeley and Buckingham of
the Burlington 'Worked for
a Spread;
It has Just developed mat L. W. Wakeley
general passenger agent of the Burlington,
and his assistant, J. E. Buckingham, were
made the goats of a practical Joke some
time ago. At that time General C. F. Man
derson of the legal department of the Bur
lington pretended thnt he thought it would1
be a pious idea for the heads of the differ
ent departments of the Burlington to meet
every once In a while for an Informal dinner
and social session. He confided his plan to
some of the other heads of departments and
they all decided It would be a good plan
and Imedlately picked Messrs. Wakeley and
Buckingham to have the honor of giving
the first dinner. The Vineyard at the Rome
was chartered and a fine spread laid out.
Nothing more has been heard of the good
fellowship dinners and the heads of the
passenger department are Just beginning to
roalizu that they are the goats.
Mr. Wakeley says he appreciates the joke
more than anybody because he helped
frame a like del on John Barrett, a fellow
general passenger agent at St. Iouls, some
years ago. In spite of this, however, he
says he did not suspect Gener&l Manderson
of any ulterior motives when he made the
suggestion. Some one heard Barrett was
about to have a birthday, so It was sug
gested that each general passenger agent
should give a banquet on his birthday.
Some question arose as to who would give
the first and aa B waa the top letter of the
alphabet and aa Barrett's birthday was
only about a month away, he was chosen.
According to program, when the Barrett
dinner was about over several of the pas
senger agents became Involved In an alter'
cation and left, vowing they would never
attend another such dinner. That was tho
end of the birthday dinners.

INTERESTING PROGRAM AT NIGHT
J. Mahoney PellTera an Addreaa
nn Irish F.mf aratlona and Their
raaseaw Gaa CI ah
Oraanlaed.
The "wrarn' o' th' green," wss almost
universal In. South Omaha yesterday.
Nearly everyone had a ribbon, tie or sham
rock to honor the patron saint of Erin.
The re-al sona of Erin, loyal members of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, many of
them wore sprays of thr- real shamrock,
which some) tedder heart in the old country
had mailed In time across the sea
The Hibernians attended St. Agnes
church In a body at morning mass. After
the solemn high mass the ordvrs of the
Catholic societies paraded the streets
In the evening a splendid program was
rendered at the auditorium of the South
Omaha High school building under the
auspices of the Ancient Order of Hibern
ians. The attendance waa about ftni). Bev.
Father James Aherne acted aa chairman
of the meeting Among the numbers of
the program most enjoyed was the opening
chorrtus, "Who Fears to Speak of Ninety
eight," by a quartet and the audience.
Rich O'Nell rendered a baaa solo. Miss
Eileen McCrann played sele-ctlons from the
melodies of Ireland. Mias Bertha Sholanny
tendered a solo, Thomas Lanlgan recited
a patriotic selection. John Jamison sang
a bantone solo.
The address of the evening was by T. J.
Mahoney of Omaha. He spoke chiefly on
the Irish emigrations and their cau.'es. H
classified them as tho early, the middle
and tho latter movements. Most every
exodus was due directly to persecutions
in tho name of religion, but which were
Indoed not religious, but lay In the prlvata
greed cf the rich landlords and their allies
who made the church a cloak to hide their
duplicity. About the time of Cromwell
there wns a great exodus to the mainland
of continental Europe. There many be
came soldiers of fortune under the French
kings. Here grew up the Irish brigade,
which numerous gieat battles played a
valiant part. Oppressed in Ireland, the
life of a soldier of fortune was meat in
viting. Many descendents of this class of
Irish are amalgamated In the blood of tho
continent so that the strain can only be
recognized by an occasional Irish name.
"About this same time the first migration
to America began. This has become the
greatest of all the ftgratlons and one which
has uplifted not only the fortunate who
made homes In the new world, but the In
fluence has returned across the sea and
made the Irishman at home the better
for It.
"In 1849 was another period of rapid
exodus. This was due to the fatal grip of
the landlords ou the tenantry. Those times
were known as the times of famine.
"There is not, as Is supposed, the Intense
hatred of the Irish for everything Protes
tant in religious belief that has been mado
to appear. The Irish do not forget their
saints. But as St. Patrick la honored today.
so Robert Emmet, the most beloved patriot
of the whole Irish people, was not a Catho
lic, but a Protestant. Every man who gives
his life and his love for Ireland will and
has stood In rank with Robert Emmett.
"The later exodus Is due not so much to
oppression, but to awakened ambltlion In
the Irish. While Island has not reached
a goal of glory aa a nation, yet the Irish
who have left their homes have wrought
deeds of glory which will never fade.
Many of the greatest names of American
history are Irish, unmistakably."
