Testimony of a damaa-lns character wu
Introdu-ed yesterday In the ult of A. Bit
man against the Monongahel Flra Insur
ance company to collect K.OTO Insurance
upon a (loten heart of horses and other
content of the old Oreen barm located at
'13 Kast Broadway.
The ault In being tried before Judge Green,
hn la holding an extra session of the dis
trict court to help out Judge Thornell. The
Lain mi destroyed by fire on the night of
January 30. latt year, an hour or more
after midnight, and after sensational
rumors had been afloat that the building
.as to be destroyed by nre for the purpose
f collecting the Insurance on the hordes.
Ilia police department had been notified
and Chief of Tollce Richmond had men
watching tha barn nightly for more than
two weeka. Tha flra department was also
alert and expecting an alarm.
Chief Nicholson of the fire department
ttlfled yesterday that he had made sev
eral eearches of the barn prior to the fire
seeking Incendiary devices. He testified
that on the night of the fire he went to
the barn after midnight In company with
T'ollre Detective Richardson, and tha two
made a careful examination of the exterior
i t the place, finding every door and window
closed. The rumor had come that the
building was to be fired that night, and
the chief testified that he urged Detective
Richardson to break Into the place, assert
ing' that If there was a train laid to set
the fire they would be able to find H.
Alarm In mm Hoar.
Richardson, however, declined to take the
responsibility, and the fire chief went to Ms
home. Me had been In bed about an hour
when the alarm came In. When the fire
men cam from the nearest station. No. 4.
. but two blocks away, tha Interior of the
building and haymow were filled with
flames.'
Ktremaa Dunlap of No. 4 testified that
one of the tortured horses rushed from the
barn sheathed In flames. They caught the
animal as It dashed down the alley and
turned the hose upon It, but the water did
not put out the flames. The firemen tried
to rub out the fire with their hands, but
the flames would start up again Immed
iately after the stroke. The hair of the
Buffering horse seemed to be soaked with
some Inflammable oil.
J. I.. McCalmont and Tom Dunne, who
lived directly across the street from the
barn, were the first to see the fire and
rushed to rescue the horses. They said
all of the animals in tha back part of
tha barn appeared to be blazing like burn
ing torches. They saved tha only two that
were got out.
Former Alderman C. H. Huber, owner
of the building, testified that he found
two-gallon Jug of kerosene bidden In the
hay mow. Richard Foreman, who appears
to have been the chief source from which
tha rumors of contemplated incendiarism
rame, and who testified before tha grand
jury that failed to Indict Slgman, swore
that he took three fairly good horses from
the barn at tlgman's request and weat -to
Flout h Omaha and traded them for six
plugs which were among tha animals de
stroyed and for which insurance la sought
avt tHK a head. Tha exchange was made a
few days before the flra.
Defease Kaesiy Started Flra.
Slgman's defenaa Is that If tha flra was
f Incendiary origin It was set by an
enemy which ha hopes this, suit will dis
close. It was shown conclusively that ha
left the bam about S o'clock on the night
of the flra and went to bed Immediately
after at his home on Harrison street and
was In bed asleep when tha flra was
started. Tha case has been on trial for
three days and Is attracting large crowds
The Insurance company has several more
witnesses. Including police officers and
firemen, who will give oorroboratlve testi
mony. Mlgman has been on tha stand sev
times and baa been subjected to grilling
cross-examinations. Ha Is a fine looking
man, well poised and has stood tha strain
well. Ha cams to Council Bluffs from
