The body of Mr. llrjckenridg was

Tho party of four left Omaha yester
day morning. They had planned to spend
the night and part of today at Colfax,
then to go to Waterloo for a day, theh

ltulph W. Breckenrldge was born at
Carlisle, O.. on March 11. 1M0. He was
educated In tho common schools of Iowa,
to which stato his parents had removed

bungalow, and 1 lie arrest that followed,
ending In tlio present prosecution under
the Mann act of Maury Dlggs and Drew
Canilnettl, tho two young men whom thu
government chui'Kw transpcrted them
there for immoral purposes.
Pilots on Their Tentlmon?'.
The casa pivots on tho testimony of
tho two girls. It is the who must make
good tho government's statements of Its
caso; who must swear that they were
frightened Into leaving their homes,
against their desires and Judgment, by
threats of exposure; that marriage was
promised them, and that they accepted
transportation In that understanding.
Tho government does not conceal its
deFlro to mass this testimony. "We
wish," said counsel, "that Miss War
rington's testimony should be heard In
Its entirety, boUi on direct and cross
examination. Our present intention Is
that she should tako the stand Tuesduy,
and her testimony will be followed oy j

rough. Mr. Brockcnridgo win president
of the Nebraska State liar association In
1903; ho was a prominently active mem
ber of the American liar association,
wus chairman of Its Insurance committee
it tlio time tho greaf Insurance com
panies of the country were under Inquiry,
mid was later a member of tho executive
committee.
Iteiinlillcnii In I'olltlcn.
Mr. Ureckenrldge was a republican In
politics, and while he never sought of
fice, ho was active In tho councils of
tht party locally, and took a deep In
terest In the campaigns always. Ho was
affiliated with the Methodist Kplscopal
church and wus prominently identified
v.lth tho affairs of tho First Methodist
Episcopal church of Omaha, whero his
Rdvlce and services were always sought
Ills social activities may be understood
In u degree when it Is mentioned that
In addition to his professional and re
tfglous connections,- he was a member of
to vert lodge. Ancient Freo and Accepted
Masons; Dellevue chapter, Koyal Arch
Masons, and Mount Calvary command
ery. Knights Templar; was a member of
tho Connecticut Society of Mayflower
Descendants, was once president of the
Nebraska Society of Sons ot the Amer
ican Revolution and was also a member
of tho Omaha, Happy Hollow, Field and
'Jome Lake clubs.
Student' of Iimtiriiiico l.mv.
In his profession Mr. Urcckonrldgo
made a specialty of insurance- law and
had written many . articles and delivered
many lectures on the subject Some three
years ago he mado a tour, of tho world
nnd on his return privately published
letters he had written to his son. de-
crlptlvo of his Journey, an account that.
attracted much attention among the
30th between Sacramento and Iteno, and
to whom ho had sold a sleeping car
btnterootn. Ho was not pressed for
mure posltlvo Identification.
Ilefiilled Ilclnn Tlppi-il.
The porter of. the car remembered that
a party of four, occupied the stateroom
In question, and he was poMtive he had
been 'adequately tipped, but rould not
swear to an Identification ot either Dlggs
or Camincttl.
A hotel clerk at Reno was more f.peclflc.
Ho swore that he saw both tlio defend
ants register under assumed names ut
his house with two young women as
men and wives. G. O. Johnson, n lum
berman, had taken a drink with the two
girls nt Iteno of lemonade. A grocer's
delivery man had carried orders to the
bungalow, after accepting them from
Dlggs, and the government has more
testimony of tho same sort.
But "the presence of the four at Hcno
was established by their arrest. What
tho government has not yet proved hard
and fast Is the manner In which they got
there nnd who paid for the tickets, and
slnco the Mann act malyes It a felony
to transport Women front one state to
another for Immoral purposes. It Is pre
cisely this point that must be settled as
Judge Van Fleet made plain yesterday
when ho held that the character of tho
girls was not In issue.
Besides the testimony which the govern
ment hopes to get on this point from
both young women, there ore the letter:)
which the government has said It will
show Dlggs wrote to Marsha Warring
ton after the return exhorting her to
stand firm and confess nothing.
Theodore Kytka, a handwriting expert,
testified today that the handwriting ot
