May .-Spedal.)-August Muller. a convict In the mat penlten tlary, caught by Warden Smith smuggling In morphine, made affidavit today that he had received the dope from George Pchar . an ev.rnnvtct of Lincoln. County Attorney Tvrrell has sworn to a clmplalnt .,.in.t the last named. Nineteen ounces nf mnrnhlnp were taken from Muller. ...... inmiv under the late muller " Warden Beemer. and the latter told War ! den Smith that he wag reliable In every i wv. For some time Muller had been In i th hm barn. In which he 1 Blent, enloylng practical freedom. Warden Smith became suspicious some i Aava aci) and searched Muller for dope, J but found none. Then the warden set a I trap for hie man and discovered where .e had hid eleven ouncea of the poison tn the barn. Muller was then thrown in I the dungeon with the statement that he I would remain there until he told at wnai t Mrua store he rot the dope. For several j days the man refused to divulge the In- formation, but this morning he made his I affidavit, implicating pcnarxon. 1 According to the Information received ! by the warden, Muller would sneak out of the bain at night and meet me convict on the railroad track and pay him for the poison at the rate of 38 cents an ounce. He would then bring It to the prison and retail It to the other occa slons. Steward Hold the Staff. Frank. L. Dlnsmore, who Is steward of the hospital, was said to have bought five tmm him at the rate of II an ounce. In turn Dlnsmore retailed the dope at the rate of from S to $5 an ounce. Warden Smith has discovered that the convicts have a system for getting money from each other that borders on high fi nance. The convict who has cash will ex change It with another convict who has money coming to htm at the offce at the rate of fl for $2. This system made It unnecessary for many of the convicts to draw money at the office, but they slnr ply had the transfer made on the records of the warden. Muller was sentenced to the peniten tiary from Stanton county for shooting his wife with Intent to kill. He received originally fifteen years, but the supreme court cut this down to three years. With his good time he would have been re leased next November. Oeorge Scharton, said to have been his accomplice, was sent to the prison from Lincoln on a charge of embexxlement. He waa received at the penitentiary March 24, 1908, and released December 26, lfOg. Frank L. Dlnsmore was sentenced for life from Dawson county. For some years he has been steward of the hospital and Is referred to as the doctor by the other convicts as well as the officials of the prison. Warden 8mlth will make every effort to' locale the druggist who sold the dope to the convict, and If he Is located he will prosecute him with vlor. For years an effort has been made to slope the use o fdope at the penitentiary, but the catch today la the first tangible result In the fight. Graphnphone vs. Plant. The Internal war between members of the board of public lands and buildings and Governor Shallenberger over the SB rent for a piano for the executive mansion Is liable to end In a dog fall. The board refused to allow the claim, though It had paid the rent on previous occasions. So a member of the governor's office force has figured out that he can trade In some of the records used In the graphophone which was bought by the board for governor Sheldon. This graphophone cost the state 1100 and It was paid for last December, The Shallenherger family Is not overly partial to graphophone music and would gladly trade In the $1 music box for a lice of the piano the records to go for the rent. The matter will be referred to the board later. earmarks of Sheldon. Governor Shallenberger returned this afternoon from Norfolk, at which place he finished a week s trip through the state addressing high school seniors. The gover nor was booked for a speech at Crete this afternoon but as his train from Norfolk was late he failed to reach Lincoln In time to catch the train for Crete. Judge E. D.

Nebraska Taylor Trial at Minden is Near End of Evidence Defense Introduces Depositions Tend ing to Lighten Onus of Crime Defendant Little-Affected. KAILIRE ENDS EHICSOW RESORT Mora;aa;e Foreclosure Terminates At tempt to Establish Flshlne; Lake. CENTRAL CITY. Neb., May 29.-(Spe-clal.) With the foreclosure of a 14,000 mortgage by O. H. Oray of this city, the history of the Erlcson Lake company came to an end. The failure was due to destructive powers of the turbulent wa ters of the Cedar river. Several years ago A. C. Stltxer gave up his drug busi ness In this city and went to Erlcson with the intention of developing a pleasure and hunting resort on the banks of the lake. Work was begun on a big dam at the outlet of the lake into the Cedar river. But In the spring of 1907 It was destroyed by a sudden rise of the Cedar river. De termined to try again, Mr. Stltxer en gaged the sen-Ices of some eastern engi neers, who thought they could build a dam that would resist any kind of a flood by the use of flood gates. Mr. Stlt xer sold many lots for summer houses on the shores of the lake, and things were proceeding prosperously, when an unex pected flood tore down the dam tn a night After futile efforts to organize again, Mr. Stltxer was obliged to give up the project. Several Lincoln parties are associated with him. The holdings of the company amount to $20,000. The mortgage does not affect the holdings of the lot owners. MINDEN. Neb., May 29. (Special Tele gram.) The Bert M. Taylor trial is slowly dragging to a close. Not much of un usual Interest has developed In the case by either side. Yesterday the court threatened to lemove one of the attorneys for the defense from the court room unless he complied with the rules of the court more strictly. The depositions o Dre. 8. J. Jones and J. A. Martin, temporarily In Austria, who attended Pearl Taylor In her last sickness were read. Dr. Martin deposed that from an examination of Pearl Taylor, he was Inclined to believe that no criminal as sault had been committed. Dr. Jones also deposed that he had found no injuries In dicating that crime. The testimony of the physicians was somewhat adverse to the theory of the state. This afternoon evidence was Introduced by the defense tending to show that Taylor was under the Influence of liquor the night before, but It made a very weak case on this point. The prosecution Introduced testimony this morning before closing the case tending to show that Taylor had ex pressed himself to the effect that he would have his revenge against Douglas Taylor his father-in-law, for not permitting lilm to marry, Eliza, another of the girls. Doug las Taylor testified that he never knew that Bert Taylor had desired any of his uther girls as a wife. Bert Taylor sits stolidly, taking ap parently less Interest, in the case than any of the spectators. He is more cool and would seem to be the least Interested of all present In the case. At times he closes his eyes In apparent dose. The oourt room is crowded to the utmost. people coming from all directions. The feeling is unanmlounly against the de fendant and if he has any sympathizers they are not known. GOES INSANE IM CLASS ROOM Charles Rhoderlek Becomes Violent While Attending; School.
