All tin evidence was In at f noon today
In the Masourldes murder trial, but It is
not likely that tha Jury will take the caie
before some time tomorrow. A full day
f argument In probable.
Opening speeches for the state and the
defense ate being made this afternoon by
Deputy County Attorney A. 1. Klllck and
J. K. Halt respectively and J. M. Mac
farland wn expected at leant to start
his address this afternoon In behalf of
the Greek. Whether he will finish this aft
ernoon was regarded as uncertain by him
self. County Attorney English will take, at
least two liouis to close for the mate.
Mr. English has an address which has
been corked up a full year. At the first
trial. It wll be remembered, the defense
waived argument, when Mr. Elllck had
concluded and the case went at once to
the Jury. In view of the verdict which
resulted It Is not likely that this procedure
will be repeated this time.
The defense did not put Llllle Ureese on
ths stand, but closed Its caso In chief with
the testimony of the defendant, who was
subjected to a long cross-examination. The.
county attorney developed some discrep
ancies with Masourldes' testimony at the
first trial, but these were not on Impor
tant points and the defense explained that
the first Interpreter Incorrectly translated
the Greek's answers, on direct examina
tion the Greek told, on the whole, the
same story as before; that he had at
tempted to slide h's gun out of his pocket
o that he would not bo fined for carrying
concealed weapons. Home plausibility at
taches to this excuse because Just before
this a numbor of 'Greeks had been fined In
South. Omaha police court on such a
charge.
Masourldes asserted that the officer first
put his own hand on the Greek's forearm
and then, Jumping to one side, fired twice
at the defendant. Not until then, he
averred, did he fire himself.
The prisoner at the bar was followed by
Dr. Elizubetu Lyman, who made an ex
animation of Llllle lireeae following the
hooting. Her testimony, as last year, was
favorable to the girl.
The state In rebuttal offered little and
the morning session closed at 11:30. Mr.
Elllck began speaking at 2 p. m. It Is
generally held that the state has made
out, a little stronger case than at the first
trial largely owing to the new witness,
George II. King. On the other hand the
Greek himself has made a much better
Impression both as a witness and In gen
eral appearance.

MARK TWAINAS A SOLDIER

"If you fight as well as you feed, Gol
protect the enemy," exclaimed Mark Twain
In addressing the ancient and honorable
artillery company of Boston, many yt
ago. The humorist was himself a warrior,
had felt the thrills and throbs of warriors
In peace and war, and claimed to have
made a record as a soldier as glorious as
any ancient within reach of his voice,
This was his experience as a soldier:
"In the earliest summer days of the war
I Bllpped out of Hannibal, Mo., by night
with a friend, and Joined a detachment of
the rebel General Tom Harris' army (I
find myself In a minority here), up a gorge
behind an old barn in Rolls county. Col?

to uphold the flag and constitution of the
United States, and to destroy any othtr
military organization that we caught doing
the same thing. In other words, wo wtra

mixed us. .We couldn't really tell which
side we were on, but we went Into camp
and left it to the god of battles (for that
was the term then). I was made second
lieutenant and chief mogul of a company
of eleven men; for we had no captain.
My friend, who was 19 years old, six feet
high, three feet wide, some dlstanca

wai made orderly sergeant. His name
was Bon Tupper. He had a hard time.
"Ben Tupper had bwen rightly reared, and
when he was ready for bed he would start
to pray, and If a rat would bite him on the
heel, then he would sit up and swear
all night (laughter), and keep everybody
awake. He was town bred and did not
seem to have any correct idea of military
discipline. If I commanded him to shut
up he would say! 'Who was your nigger
last year?' One evening I oidered him
to ride out on picket duty abjut three
miles, to the beginning of a prairie. Said
he: "What? In the nlghtl ana mom

the power to condemn such rights. Such
