County Attorney English and J. J.
Sullivan, Successful Unrtn Art
Happier and Richer Thaa
Before Trial Came Off.
The heirs of Josoph A.. Connor have won,
The Jury In district court, sitting under
Judge Itedlck, has returned a verdict
against the proponents and In favor of the
respondents. The verdict finds "that Jo
seph A. Connor himself destroyed the will
of May 15, 190S, with the Intention of re.
voklne It. and further finds that this was
not his last will and testament."
A fow tense moments occurred In the
court room while the foreman or the Jury
ua handing over the sealed verdict to
Deputy Clerk Rteere, who opened and read
it. The verdict then went to the court, and
after Judae Hedlck had glanced at the
paper it went back to Mr. Steere, who now
read It aloud. During these, minutes the
silence and tension In the court room had
been marked.
The heirs of Mr. Connor, including Grace
Cook Connor, his adopted daughter, may
now proceed to divide an estate worth. It
Is generally held. $i00,eno. The um of
$110,000 will, by their own agreement, be
set aslde-$10,OCO for a mausoleum and $HK),
000 for some memorial.
They have thus won the second round In
the fight, the first hearing In county court
also going their way. While nn appeal to
the supremo court is regarded as not un
likely, the decision of the Jury In district
court Is believed practically to settle the
matter.
Five Divide le Estate.
Those who will divide the property are
Mrs. Ellen O'Connor of Omaha, a half-sls-terj
Miss Orace Connor, Mrs. Mary 3.
Ilynes of Colorado, also a half-sister of
Connor; Mrs. Mary Lamb of Chicago,
flaughter of Mrs. O'Connor, and Mrs. May
Bperry of Aurora, 111. She is the daughter
of Mrs. Ilynes.
When the verdict had been read, Mrs.
Ellen O'Connor rose and addressed the
court.
"Please, your honor.'' said the venerable
woman, "may I say a few words of thanks
to the Jurors T"
Tou'd better do It outside the court
room," answered Judge Redlck.
When the court dismissed the Jury and
rose as he did, Immediately after there
followed a' scene of rejoicing which Is al
most unparalleled In local legal annals.
The women to whom a fortune had come
were alternately crying and laughing with
Joy and eagerly wringing the hands of
their counsel and the members of the Jury.
Friends Conaratalate Heir.
There was a large delegation of friends
at hand who took part In exchange of con
gratulations, arid there was buying of
cigars In unprecedented quantities from
the old salesman In the corridor.
"I knew It would come our way all
the time, declared Mrs. Mary Lamb, who
felt particularly good over the verdict, not
only because of the money, but because
she regarded the decision of the Jury as
a vindication of the reflection cast upon
herself during the two trials.
"The right Is sure to win," added Mrs.
Lamb.
The levee In the corridor outside the
coiirt room lasted for fully half an hour.
Members of the Jury hung around all that
time, all except one man, 8. Hleronymous
an old colored man.
lie disappeared early. It was he who
had stuck out for the proponents. On the
first ballot taken at 5:43 p. m. Thursday
the vote stood eleven to one In favor of
the heirs. The Jury then went to supper
and on returning took a second ballot
with the isajne result Discussion developed
the fact that it was Hleronymous who was
in the minority, and the eleven white men
then spent three hours of argument on
him before they .brought hlra over."
Solllvan and English Hlrher.
' Among the rejolcers over the verdict were
J. .1. Sullivan and County Attorney English.
The verdict means a considerable Increase
In their perscmal fortunes. What they will
get Is unknown, but attorneys generally be
lieve that each will receive anywhere from
$1S,TO0 to IL'5,000.
County Judge Leslie was In the court
room to hear the decision. That the dis
trict court verdict upheld his own ruling
was a source of much satisfaction, to him.
"I'm glad you won," said a friend to
Miss. Orace Connor, while the corridor
festivity was at Us height.
"Well, maybe I'm not glad myself," re
plied Miss Connor.
The trial of the case closed dramatically.

For the second time yesterday the shade of
Joseph A. Connor was conjured up before
the Jury. This was by E. P. Smith, clos
ing for the proponents. Standing before
the twelve men about to retire to the Jury
room, Mr. Smith held In on band the
copy of the will which It Is sought to have
admitted to probate and In the other he
clutched the agreement between the heir.
I would to God," cried the attorney,
"that Joseph A. Connor did stand here!
Would that he were able to come before
you and to speak! Which, then, of these
would he tell you to choose, his last will
and testament, or the dooument prepared
by this Colllver, a man he never saw?"
The Jury has reached a verdict In the
case, but Its contents will not be known
until 9:30 this morning, aocordlng to the
custom practiced In civil suits, where
sealed verdicts are permitted. The verdict
was reached at 10 p. m.
The Jury took the case at 6:30, following
the most vigorous argument the Douglas
county coun nouse nas known since a
year ago, when the four attorney argued
the same case In county court. County
Attorney English occupied the morning ses
slon. Judge J. J. Sullivan followed on the
same side the fore part of the afternoon
and then Mr. Smith closed for the proponents.
"X have listened," said Mr. Smith, "to
the excoriation of my associate (C. J,
Smyth) by Mr. English. I have listened
to the prepared and committed oration de
llvered by Judge Sullivan. I am not pre
pared to reply to that and I would not
reply to Mr. English If I could. I have
neither the time nor the Inclination for
epithets and invective nor for word pic
tures." Learal Brethren at War.
The other attorneys In the case had like
wise asserted tha they would not spare
time for Invective and then proceeded to
deliver a few rousing wallops at each
other and each other's witnesses. So, sim
ilarly, Mr. Smith let go of a few fervid
sentences regarding Judge Sullivan and
also painted some glowing verbal scenes.
"I occupy a peculiar position In this
case," said this attorney, "i am the only
lawyer Involved who Is a Protestant. I
am the only attorney In the case who was
not himself educated In parochial schools.
I am the only one whoBe own children
have not been sent to parochial 'schools.
And yet It comes to me to defend parochial
schools from assault and the priesthood
from aspersions.
"I shall not take time to defend at length
the parochial school system. If I needed
to I could point to the other three attor
neys In this case as conspicuous proof of
what these schools can achieve. As exhibit
A, I would offer the county attorney of
Douglas county and as other exhibits, if
need be, the children of the county attor
ney. "But I, as a Protestant, was astonished
at Judge Sullivan, when he read certain
provision of Joe Connor' will and sneered
at them. Why was this? Does he think
that Protestant like myself and you men
on the Jury have a yellow streak so that
such tactics will appeal to us. I tell you"
Judge Sullivan here Interrupted to deny
that he had "sneered."
"The Jury heard It," cried Mr. Smith. "I
tell you that there is no yellow running
through our veins. There 1 none In our
make-up. There may be In your but not
Id ours."
"I Ilk to win law suits, I am anxious to
every lawyer Is, but If It were my last
act on earth, may I never be found attack
ing the tenet of the faith of my mother.
The major portion of Mr. Smith's address
was a urgent review of the evidence in the
case as his side sees It.'
There was fire too In the address of
Mr. Smith. Judge Sullivan began by re
gretting and deploring "that I waa com
pelled to sit and listen during the argument
of Mr. Smyth to denunciations that cut to
the heart. None was spared. None of
these women. I had not believed that the
controversy between the church and these
women would take this form. I had not
thought the exigencies of the case were
such a to require it.
"These women are morally and spiritually
the children of the church. I had thought
that the representative of the church here
would have dealt with them In charity.
The beasts of the forest, the dumb brutes of
the Jungle protect and nourish their young.
It seems to me that the representatives of
the Catholic church ought to do as much
for it children.
"It has been said by Intimation that Mr.
English and I are not the real thing that
we 'profess' to be Catholics. I am a Cath
olic. I am a Catholic by birth, by educa
tion, by preference. But I am not yet pre
pared to admit that this boy und this girl
(Grace Connor and Franklin Lamb) a they
are characterized by these men are the
flntuhed' product of the Cothollo church
and Its accessory Institutions, the paro
chtal and convent schools.
"They say the church Is not here or
that the bishop Is not here of own volition
'He has been dragged In.' Dragged in!
"Dragged In by whomt By these women?
Why we have never been the aggressors,
We have stood upon the defensive. W
have refused to permit the church to wring
from our clients' hands the property which
in all Justice, which by every rule of law
and ordinary fairness belongs to our ell
ent
"Counsel complains because he has not a
Oatholle Jury to try this case (this was a
reference to C. J. Smyth's denunciation of
the other side as having challenged Cath
olic veniremen) why he could not win this
case before any Catholic Jury which could
be drawn in Douglas county; before any
Jury of non-Catholics before any Jury were
it made of infidels or Moslems."

with General Hen Butler at New Orleans.
At the close of the war he located on a
ranch near Kearney. Later he was ap

Brigadier General Charles Morton) com
mandant of the Department of the Mis
souri, will retire from the command of the
department and from active servloe in the
United Slates army March 18, after nearly
fifty years' life as a soldier.
General Morton has had more active serv
ice than any 'officer in the army today,
probably more and longer war service In
the history of the American army than
any other general officer, with the ex
ception of the late Lieutenant General
Wlnfleld Scott, over whose grave General
Morton fired a rifle at the time of his
burial.
The army loses. In the retirement of
General Morton, the active aid of one of
its most loyal members and staunch sup
porters. . '
lie first entered the service as a private
soldier in a Missouri volunteer regiment in
1861 and served during the entire civil war.
Appointed to the West Point Military
academy in 1X66, he was graduated there
from in 1869, and has since been contin
uously in the service. He rose gradually
through all the ranks of a commissioned
officer of the regular establishment, reach
ing the rank of brigadier general in 1907.
General Morton was assigned to the com
mand of the Department ofthe Missouri,
succeeding Brigadier General T. F. Wlnt,
October 12, 1907.
Big, Department to Conduct.
During this time he has conducted with
signal success the affair of the largest
military department, in point of troops, in
the United States army, a department
which Is as large as three of some of the
other departments combined.
Upon taking command of the departmenl
in October, 1907, General Morton's first duty
was to conduct the fifteen-mile teet ride
for the field officers of the department,
which necessitated his visiting the different
posts and taking a ride at each, a total of
ten rides, or 160 miles.
Lead Ninety-Mile, Hide.
Two large maneuver camps of Instruction
were held In the department during 1908,
one at Camp Emmet Crawford, near Fort
D. A. Russell, Wyo., and the other at Fort
Riley, Kan., all the arrangements for which
were made by General Morton. The former
was commanded by General Morton In
person, at the close of which he conducted
the ninety-mile test ride for all field offi
cers on duty at the camp.
Upon his return to Omaha he Immedi
ately went to Fort Riley, JCan., where he
took command of a provisional division
which had been organised upon the termi
nation of the maneuver camp there, and
marched It to St. Joseph, Mo,, where a
military tournament was held under his
command.
This was tha largest organisation of
troops on so long a march In the United
State since the civil war, and up to that
time the largest military tournament ever
held In the United State.
The De Molne Tonrnameat.
In September, 1909, General Morton com
manded the big military tournament at Das
Moines, la., which waa more complete and
on a much larger scale than the SL Joseph
tournament of the previous year. It was
during this tournament that President Taft
visited De Moines and was accorded, un
der General Morton' command, one of the
grandest, full drees military parades ever
witnessed In this country.
Upon the completion of this tournament
most of the troop engaged therein were
marched to Omaha when the general com
manded another large parade at the open
ing of the Ak-Sar-Ben festival.
In October, 1909, he again conducted the
ninety-mile test ride for staff officer of
the Department of the Missouri.
General Morton has been most popular
In Omaha and his scores of friends here
will witness hi retirement from the ser
vice with the keenest regret. He has been
especially popular with the Board of Gov
ernors of Ak-Sar-Ben, and It In largely
through his efforts that the last two fall
festivals have been so eminently success
ful. Can Outride Youths.
Few officers of the army upon retirement
posses the physical and mental vigor of
General Morton, He can ride a horse as
great a distance and with as much ease,
but with more dignity, than a lieutenant
of cavalry and when It comes to admlsls
terlng on paper the affairs of a large de
partment, he is unequalled.
