Hansen Insisted on many oecaslons

"I arrived In Omaha February M ajul
on February 27 met Wolfe at tho city hall
and we had a conversation concerning the
olty hall boilers. After that I met Wolfe
frequently. On March 1 Wolfe called on
me at the Paxton hotel. Wo went to
Lentz's saloon for a drink and to Wroth'
restaurant for breakfast. At the res

On March S Hansen left for Kansas
out of it, and succeeded for a little white.
I was in no conspiracy to commit a
crime, but was only carrying out Instruc

"After the conference In Chicago, nt
which I reported Wolfe's 10 per tent pro
posal, I accepted It by tologram and told
him to write and received a letter from
him.
"I do not rcniombor tho conversation In

tho saloon wero nbout what wo were go

Hansen repeatedly denied holding the
conversation with Wolfo named In tho
warrant for his arrest, but his ndmls
slons concerning his relations with Wolfo
wero such that County Attornoy Magney
and Justice Ilrttt declared that tho dif
ference liujthe testimony of tho prosocut
Ing witness and tho defendant was in non
essentials only.
Wolfe had previously testified that ho
had o Improper motive In his friendship
with Hansen, ami that until April 7,
when ha was Informed that Hansen was
a detective, he had nut taken tho latter's
offers of financial assistance seriously.
After that, he said, ho was acting under
orders and was uttomptlng to gain both
Information and money from Hansen.

Whether a detectlvo making an In-
vestlgntlon can bo held criminally re
sponsible became an lsauo of the hear
ing. Attorney Hurres for Hansen quoted
an English decision nnd an Iowa hold
ing, to the effect that a dotectlvo cannot
be hold as an accomplice because he has
knowledge of wrongful acts, but Justice
Brltt refused to free the defendant on
the ground that u showing had beon
made that Hansen had himself committed
a criminal act He called attention to the
fact that conviction beyond a reasonable
doubt Is not requested In a preliminary
hearing.

Her counsel Is Ferdinand Labor!, who be
camo famous as the defender of Captain
Dreyfus.
The questions to bo put to the Jury'
are, first, "Is tho accused guilty of wil
ful homicide" and second, "was the
homicide premeditated?"
If the Jury replies "yes" to theso ques
tion, tho sentence must be death. If tho
reply is "yes" to tho first nnd "no" lo
tho second question, without extenuating
circumstances, the sentence must bo hard
labor for life. If extenuating circum
stances nro ndmltted, tho term must be
hunl labor for a period fixed by, tho
Judges und ranging from flvo to twenty
years. Tho presiding Judge has the right
to ask tho Jury "la the accused guilty
of Inflicting Injuries which caused death
without having the Intention to kill?"
If tho 'nnswer la "yes," the sentence Is
two years, which, however, could be sus
pended under the first offonso law.

answera."
wiir n- np.iRirii.
He then asked his "Interviewers" to
write down the first question as follows:
"Why dkl I resign?"
His reply, which ho also Insisted should
be written down, was:
"I resigned the presidency because I be
lieved thnt nftcr having arranged Inter
national affalr.i my duty was to give this
last proof of my devotion to tho sons of
the republic. Also I was convinced thnt
my resignation would servo as a means
of conciliation between nil the sons of
I the republic."
The second Bclf-asked question was:
"Why nre you leaving the country while
you are still able to Bervo her?"
It wax answered as follows:
"My departure from tho national terri
tory has no other cnuso thnn to leavo
tho new government an ample field for
action. I also believe my continuance
here would glvo rlso to conjectures which
would result in prejudicing tho proceed
ings of tho new government I declare
to tho world that tho line of conduct I
havo always followed had no other ob
ject than my heartiest desire for pacifica
tion of the country."
General Huerta dropped his cigarette
and turned to leave.
"But General H ," began ono correspondent.
"No, not any more. No, I don't want to
say anything nbout tho United States. 1
am not talking. I am through."
Tho photographers present In chcrus
then requested the general to leave "the
car so that they might take his picture.
Tho old soldier smiled and said his pic
ture had been printed so badly by almost
all, and that tho world already had such
a bad Impression of him as to make him
hcsltato to give the American photogra
phers an opportunity of proving Just how
ugly he was.

All the time, however, General Huerta
was moving toward tho door. When ho
reached tho car door he began shaking
hands and said:
When I get to New York some dayj
you shall all dlno with me."
Then, as an afterthought, he said:
"I will pay It I havo tho money. IM
not, I shall not hesitate to borrow from
you."
His mind being on money, ho then said:
"Here, I would like to present to each
of you a little souvenir of the old man,"
and after the custom of certain other
Lutin-Amcrlcan dignitaries, he brought
from his purse a handful of gold coins
and presented ono of them to each corre
spondent, adding:
"Mexican money would not buy much
now, but the coins will serve as tokens of
remembrances."
Before a battery of cameras and mov
ing picture machines General Huerta and
General Blanquet, with a group of federal
officers around them, ppsed, talked to
gether and took off their hats, all to the
command of the American picture men,
and through it all tho former president
acted like a veteran, since perhaps no
man In Mexico has been pictured more
often or under more varied circumstances
than he.
Tho picture taking over, Goneral Huerta
returned to his car, In which with this
single exception ho had remained since
his arrival last night In Puerto Mexico.
