He began with an eulogy upon the character of Frank Grlgware and a his tory of hi life prior to the time h left Spokane early In the present year. He stated further that he would be able to prove ' by competent witnesses that Law rence F. Golden was not a participant in the robbery, and that all other of his ell ent were guiltless of the crime charged against them. He Intimated that all of the accused men would be placed on the stand and would be able to give a truthful ac count of all their doings while In Omaha, thus completely clearing them from any guilt In the robbery of the Overland Lim ited on the night of May 22. Mr. Fleharty. in behalf of hi client. Wil liam Matthew, stated that evidence would be forthcoming clearing him from any par ticipation In the holdup, either directly r Indirectly, ar.d that he would be further able to show that Matthews had but a brief oqualntance with any of the accused men. The initial testimony for the defense was the reading of depositions taken at Spo kane affirming the good character of Grlg ware, while Mr. Goss read the cross examination taken in the same deposition at the same time. All of the depositions gave Grlgware a fairly good reputation and were by a number of business men of Spokane, who had at various time ''em ployed Grlgware since tils boyhood, and covering a period up to about January 1 of the current year.

Father of Grlgrware Testifies. F"gar M. Grlgware, a carpenter of Spo kane, and father of the defendant Grlg ware, waa the first oral witness of the afternoon, and Virtually the first witness for the defense. His testimony related to the early habits of his son, whom he char acUrliod as a good boy up to his twentieth year, when ho was at home practically all the time. His son Is now 23 year old. He had learned the carpenter' trade under his father and worked with him pretty regularly up to two or three years ago. when he worked for other contractors and builders in Spokane. Frank had left Spo kane occasionally during the last three years, once to go to. the Couer D'Alene country, where he had taken up a claim.

The last that Mr. Grlgware had seen of his aon was In January or February of the present yeer, until he saw him in Omaha after his arrest District Attorney Goss, out of deference to Mr. Grlgware' relation to the defend ant, did not press a rigid cross-examination.

Nebraska GOVERNOR FOR NEW CAPITAL Executive Thinks Next Legislature Should Make Big Appropriation. THREE MILLIONS K0T TOO MUCH Railway Commlaalon Tarn Down Re port of ntls ens Railway on Ground It Is Manifestly Wron (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 8-(Speclal.) Governor IShallenberger believes the next legislature should take step to secure a new oapltol for Nebraska "The next legislature should make an appropriation to start the new building," said the governor. "We could secure magnificent building for 3,000.i00 and there Is no reason why a portion of, this amount should not be appropriated by the next legislature, say enough to construct one wing of the building. "I am opposed to spending any $i50,000 for la building to house the State Historical I society when the state so badly needs a capitol. That Is why I vetoed the ap propriation for the historical society build Ing. To my mind that Historical society building Is what Joe Cannon would call an ulcer on the body politics.' The society wants $25,000 this time, $50,000 the next time and so on. As a matter of fact, with the construction o a new capitol there could be made a place for all the records that the society will ever collect which will be of real value to the state. The time has certainly arrived for I new state house. This building has out lived Its usefulness, It is too small, In bad condition, unsanitary and not worthy of the state" Rowden Still "Bom." Dave Rowden Is the boss of the Soldiers' home at Milford. Colonel Dave says so himself, notwithstanding he had a matron out there Vvho hit the bull's eye three times when! she heaved dishes at a cook Some time ago one of the women em ployes complained to the governor that she had not received all the money due her from the commandant. Evidently the gov ernor wrote to the commandant about the matter, as the answer from Colonel Dave this morning set out the following Infor mation: The woman got all the money that was due her. "When. she say I am boss out her she says what Is true. I am the boss. I admit I swear sometimes, but no Jim crow woman or Jim crow man Is going to run over me." The latter made a hit with the executive department, for when Colonel Dave called on the governor this morning he was informed he waa all right. Railway Report Wronaj. The state railway commission has refused to accept the annual report of the Citizen's Street railway company filed November 2, b. cause of grlevlous error contained therein. The report shows a net revtmue for the period It covers of 7,D80.41, while an in vestigation of the figures shows that In reality there Is a deficit of $3,524.61. The report shows the liwome from pas sengers paying caBh to have been $22,516.69; from passengers buying tickets $22,329.19. and from advertising $187.50. The officials of the company carried these earnings out to a total of $:,613.79 when me total should have been $48,557.99. This makes out the company to have been "a losing concern ratner than moneymaker." " ' Whether any stock was sold on the totals In the report the commission does not know at this time, but County Attorney Tyrrell has the figures and will use them in his suit against the merger of the two com panies. The report is signed by W. E. Sham. president and J. H. Smith, treasurer. The Railway commission will make a thorough investigation of the matter and Rate Clerk Powell is at work checking over the report to see If there are any more discrepancies. It Is possible the re- 8Uit of the Investigation will have a bear Ing on the litigation now pending against tn two companies. Money from Corporation.
