Masourides Case
Being Hard Fought
Technical Sparring Marks the Open
ing, When Lillie Breese Takes
the Stand.
Tactlcat sparring oC the utmost Impor
tance to the cose marked the taking of
testimony in the Masourides trial Wednes
day morning when as the third witness
fur the prosecution, Lillie Breese, was
called to the stand.
Unlike the direct examination at the' first
hearing. County Attorney English ended
his questions when the girl had told how
she. Officer Lowry, her little brother and
the Greek had rounded the corner of
Twenty-fourth street on the way to the
South Omaha police station. The girl was
not called upou to testify as to the shoot
ing. On cross-examination the defense at
tempted to go into this and was blocked
by an objection which the court sustained.
Mr. English's motive was this: At the
first trial the girl swore she did not know
who fired first, the Greek or the officer.
"She was too frightened to notice," she
said. Whereupon the county attorney In
troduced her wltten statement in which
she declared the Gieek was the first to
fire. Through this attack on the state's
own witness came the grant by the su
preme court of a new trial.
As matters stand t ow, if LlUie Breese is
called by the defense and asked about this
point the state may cross-examine and at
tempt to refute the girl, for she then will
be a witness for the defense. Whether the
attorneys for the Greek will so call her is
not yet certain.

tor Ordinance Providing for Jail

Fines.
Councilman Schroeder stopped tha un
official committee meetings about tha
council chamber at the meeting last night
for a minute.
When President Brucker had announced
the new committees as printed In The Bee,
Schroeder rose and asked when the com
mittees were made up.
President Brucker replied they were re
Vised after the first draft because Schroe
der had no chairmanship.
This did not satisfy the Ninth ward
councilman, who insisted that It had been
agreed In caucus he was to be chairman
of the committee on railroads and viaducts
and have a place on the judiciary com
mlttce.
Brucker ruled Councilman Schroeder out
of order, but he refused to be seated, and
proceeded to say:
"You told certain persona that because
I was In favor of six tickets for a quarter
I should not have that committee, didn't
you?"
"Yes, I said you were an unfair man for
that committee,' said the' president.
"And this after I had voted for your
election?" persisted Schroeder.
"You said at one time you would not
vote for me," said 1'resldent Brucker. "So
I don't sea how you helped me."
With a look of astonishment Schroeder
exclaimed, "You don't know how I helped
you? Well, If you don't, I am willing to
sit down."
After the Speeder.
Councilman Burmeater introduced an
amendment to the ordinance to govern the
operation of motor vehicles. The amend
ment provides that the police judge may,
on conviction for violation of the ordinance,
inflict both fine and imprisonment. At
present a fine Is the only punishment pro
vlded for.

troduced and referred to the committee on
paving and sewerage. This action Is
preparatory to boulevardlng of the atreet
