THE OMAHA SUNDAY REE: OCTOBER 10, .1909. A - Nebraska MALONE CONTEST PROPER Snnreme Court Holdi County Court Has JunidictioD, IKJTJKCTION FOE BONACUM claatoa of Hmritf aad Acqnlttal br th Excise Board. (From Staff Correspondent.) ICOIJJ, Oct 9. (Special.) The su- e court today decided that the election st instituted by Robert Maione, canai- lcf for mayor of Lincoln, was properly . ed In the county court of Lancaster .it jr. Don L. Love, who wai elected 'or, contended, through his attorney, t the city council alone had Jurisdiction f, hear the contest. Application wa made f j the district court for a restraining order to prevent P. James Cosgrave as county Judge from bearing the contest.' This ap plication was denied-by the district court and an appeal was taken to the supreme court In the name of Mayor Love. Judge Letton wrote the opinion of the court, holding that the contestant had light to start proceedings before cither the county court or before the city council. these having concurrent jurisdiction. Judge Barnes dissents and holds that the city council has ex -luilve Jurisdiction. No Relief for Ante Mas. Albert Jones, fined $26 for running an automobile at a speed greater than ten miles an hour In the town of Wayne, gets no relief from the supreme court. He con tended that the verdict was not sustained by the evidence, that the court erred in re fusing to strike out the testimony of cer tain witnesses and that the verdict was the result of prejudice against automobiles. The supreme court affirms the Judgment against Jones and says that questions of fact are for the Jury, and a verdict by them on a question of fact, where testimony Is conflicting, will not bo reviewed. In the case of Hespen against Wendln, from Otoe county, the court has reversed the judgment of the lower court with dl rectlons to, enter Judgment in favor of the plaintiff as prayed for In his petition. This finding Is In favor of a foster son who claimed the right to inherit the same as a natural son. The boy was born In Ger many out of wedlock and when he was 9 years old his mother married and oame to Nebraska, where she and her husband lo cated on a farm. Other children were born to the couple and the family prospered financially. The husband and wife came to America and started In life with money the mother had received for the boy's ban eflt. It was agreed by the husband that the boy should hare ,in his estate the same as his other children. In the case of Charles Winkle against City of Hastings the court holds that the dlntrlct court had no power to detach prop erty from the city of Hastings. This power was conferred by the legislature upon the mayor and council. An appeal from that body in refusing to disconnect particular tracts cannot be made the means of trans ferring such power to the district court. The case Is reversed and dismissed. The supreme court today" overruled, the application of Bishop Bonacum for an in Junction to restrain Father Murphy from tho: use of parish property at uiysses, There is now In the supreme court an ap peal fired by the bishop n ft previous In junction case In which he waa defeated. The Bonaoum-Murphy feud la of several years' Standing. V Police ' Cnlef ReatsTna. The findings of the excise board, made public this afternoon, clear Chief of Po lice Rlckard of the charge of affording protection to houses of Ill-fame. It holds, however, that the chief used poor Judg ment In arresting Detective W. A. Bentley under the circumstances down at the Eva Matrln plaoe and throwing him In jail. Ex-Policeman John Wright comes In for a roasting for his failure to report conditions down In the bottoms when he was a plain clothes man'' and was assigned this duty by his superior officer. The board takes hold of the matter of lack of co-operation between the police de partment and the county officers, which has become notorious. It finds that dis cord exists and is a serious detriment to the publlo service, and It declares that In the future cordial relations shall prevail as far as the city Is concerned. For reasons which he says are known only tcTour men. Chief of Police Rlckard has handed In his resignation as head of the police department or tne city or Lin coln. The written request to be relieved irom amy was nanaea in o ins meraoers of the excise board yesterday, but It was not Intended that it should be made known for some Urns yet to come, and particu larly until the findings of the board were made publto with regard to the Tyrrell charges. It was entirely by accident that the mat ter leaked out at this time, through a Hp of the tongue made by Exciseman Harpham in the presence of Sheriff Hoag land. Despala, aa Secretary, Don C. Despaln was elected this after noon as secretary of the Lancaster county republican central committee, at a meet ing of that body held in the Capitol hotel.

Oct. 1 (Special Telegram.)- City Attorney H. E. Burnam of Omaha and his two deputies. I. J. Dunn and John Rlne, were today cited to appear before the su preme court and defend a charge of con tempt of court made against them by the court. The alleged contempt was committed In a brief filed In the suit of Anna J. Robinson against the city of Omaha. The court or dered the brief stricken from the files and suppressed It. . It Is understood the attor neys. In the brief, make some criticism of Judge Rose, who wrote the opinion in the Robinson case. The hearing In the con tempt case was set for November 4. The Robinson case is one In which Anna J. Robinson secured Judgment against the city for II. MO for Injuries on a board side walk on Davenport street. The supreme court sustained the verdict and It was In the brief In support of a motion for a re hearing that the alleged contempt was committed. I. J. Dunn, assistant city attorney, when seen at the Jarksonlan club last evening, said that he wrote the brief to which the supreme court takes exception, but as It is a fifty-page brief he does not know to what part the court objects. He said that Mr. Rose wrote the opinion sustaining the verdict against the city of Omaha for $1,600 in a damage suit where a tars. Robinson fell and broke her shoulder on the side walk. "I said In the brief! that the testimony in the case was cold-blooded perjury and I will tell the court so," said Mr. Dunn. "I also wrote that all the witnesses, the Judge and the jury knew It was perjured teatV mon and that any sane man would know It from reading the testimony. The witness told three different states of facts In the case and the record shows It." POIfCA IS BUSY IMPROVING COLLISION ItKSlLTS FATALLY Tea-Yea r-Old Ctrl at Cortlaad the Victim. BEATRICE, Neb..

MERCIFUL TO DEFAULTER spends Sentence When Plea of Gnllty is Entered. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. . (Special.) A number of cases on this docket this term were settled out of court and not s few continued until next term. William E. Wlllard, who has been under bonds for over two years charged with absconding with funds belonging to the county trea surer while employed as a clerk In that department, pleaded guilty to the charge and threw himself on the meroy of the court. Judge Hostetler suspended sentence under the following conditions: that Wll lard should pay back the money he had taken together with the expenses Incurred by the county In bringing him to justice and that for the next seven years he must report at each term to this division of the district court. During that time, should Wlllard violate the law In any way, he Is to be brought Into court and sentenced on the original charge.

Grant Bond Case Will Reach Crisis Monday Evening Plaintiff Has to Finish Introduction of a Little Rebuttal Evidence. The U. 8. Grant, Jr., bond trial will reach a crisis tomorrow morning when the plain tiff has finished Introduction of a little rebuttal evidence. The defense will then move for a peremptory verdict Its way. If the ruling of the court Is the defense's )', and there Is some chance of this, then It Is all over with Mr. Grant. On the other hand. If the plaintiff Is allowed to go on and argue the case with the Jury deciding In tho regular way, then Mr. Grant has a good show for a verdict. Yesterday the defense finished Its Intro duction of evidence. O. C. Drngna was the principal witness, but this side nlso called Mr. Grant, and his attorney. Judge Ben Baker, as well. Mr. Baker was in vited to tell of his employment In the rase and he proved a most uncommunicative witness, standlrg on tho objection of privileged communication. The defense was Interested In this point as bearing on the question of the bringing of the bonds here through F. H. Btowe, formerly of the Independent Telephone company. Testimony by Mr. Grant was that Mr. Stowe said he was considering buying the bonds and that he heard from Slowe that these bonds were his. Grant's. The evidence brought out by the defense did not seem to support, to any grest ex tent, Its charge of trickery In procuring the bonds to be brought to this Jurisdiction. O. C. Dragna took the stand In the morn ing and testified on direct examination that he bought direct title In the bonds from Mr. Grant and denied understanding that he was to act as Mr. Grant's agent In their recovery for Mr. Grant. He also asserted that he had secured title by buy ing from Tabor. On cross-examination he managed to evade the pitfalls set for him by the at torney for tho other side, though the plain tiff was able to emphasize somewhat the fact that answers were occasionally evasive. already been secured.
