Insanity Verdict
Saves Mc Bride
Jury Finds Wesley McBride Not
Guilty, but Asks His Com
mittal in Asylum.
Upon grounds of insanity, Wesley Mc
Bride, the 15-year-old youth who killed
Harry Long, a playmate, was found not
guilty by a jury In Judge Estelle'i couit
at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. The jury
was out five hours before reaching Its
verdict.
With the verdict the Jury recommended
that McBride be committed to tho state
asylum for tho insane.
McBride, who had been completely calm
and unmoved during the trial, showed the
first sign of emotion when the verdict
acquitting him. was read. In that moment
he bowed over and wept Ills father and
mother, .who had sat with him throughout
the ordeal, likewise, wept, on their son's
shoulders and kissed him.
It Is expected Judge Kstelle will Issue the
order committing McBride to the asylum,
as he has no other alternative than to
comply with the recommendation of thn
Jury. Attorneys for the defense say thcro
will be no appeal.
McBride shot Harry Long, 13 years old,
to death November 27, 1909.

Agent Finds His
House Usurped
by. Big Family
Discovers Mrs. Charles Goff and Large
Brood in Possession Without For
mality of Renting. .
Oo out," said the real estate man to
one of his aids, "and take a look at that
house at 6245 Burdette. We ought to be
renting that soon."
When the aid came back to report, he
said, "Why there's a family In it now."
Investigation proved the truth of the
solicitor's statement.
Mrs. Charles Oof f ' and seven or eight
small children are occupying the home and
huvo occupied It for . some days without
saying "by your leave,", or anything else,
according to the agents.
Ordinarily the Byron Reed company,
which is agent, for, the housej would have
an arrest made for trespassing, but the
Goff family the children, at least Invites
come degree of commiseration.
The Associated Charities: has . helped the
family several times, and the children's
case is pending in juvenile court The
father and mother are separated.
Mrs. Goff, when asked ,how she had the
nerve to move in, asserted that she had
tried to find out who owned or rented the
home, but had been unable to do so. The
Reed company is a little skeptical of this,
for a sign was tacked on the front of the
house until about the date when the Got fa
moved In. '
Up to date Mrs Goff is still holding the
fort, and has changed the old proverb to
read thus:
"It's cheaper to move In quietly and then
stand pat than to pay rent."
Wording Gets

Faulty Sentenee Gives Two Alleged

Freedom.
Two of the fifteen Greeks who appeared
before Judge Kstelle on writs of habeas
corpus ftiturday morning were ordered
released on an error In phraseology. All
fifteen were tried In South Omaha police

that the sentence passed upon two of them
was worded "$100 fine and thirty days,"
while the others read "'100 fine or thirty
days." The remaining thirteen will be
held for further hearing Monday.

No Decision on
Gudahy Removal
Head of Company Declines to Discuss
the Question of Transplant
ing Clerks.
The Cudahy Packing company has
reached no decision as to moving all or
part of its general office force to Chicago.
"Nothing has been decided," said E. A.
Cudahy Saturday, "and will, not be for
some time. , I can't say when."
Further than this statement, Mr. Cudahy
declined to discuss .the question of re
moval at all, though he intimated that
plans for. the projected new office building
In South Omaha are not being rushed.
The office force itself of the Cudahy
Packing company knows very little of the
proposed removal of the general offices.
There la talk enough to warrant the feeling
of expectancy , which prevails at the plant.
When approached, must of the men from
the general manager down became the In
quisitors and wanted to know what founda
tion there was . for certain newspaper
articles.
Patrick Sheehy, superintendent of the
local plant said: "I would not give you a
wrong impression, but we think there is
something to the rumor of moving; but I
would rather you would get all your In
formation from Mr. Cudahy himself.
' General Manager Michael Murphy stated
to prominent men in the Exchange build
ing that he knew little of the proposed ie
moval, but he was positive that there was
not the slightest foundation or excuse for
the statement that the removal was due to
any quarrel over- the possession or the
purchase ot reul estate.
Most of , the live stock interests in all
their branches expressed the opinion that
the least said about the removal the better
for the local market as the talk kept the
local business stirred up and the rumors
of the day had their direct effect upon
the markets.
