This Is the odd result of a fight between the lawyers for the corporation and Mrs. Kdwards that has been going on ever since a Jury awarded her $8,000 In Decem ber. 1813. Judge T. C.

Rod nar and Edward F. Booney of Topeka. representing Hauser, refused last night to say what witnesses will he Intro duced in his behalf today. It Is known, however, that Mrs. May Hauser, wife of the defendant, who came from Wichita to attempt to save him from the electric chair, will try to prove an alibi for him. The atate completed Its CRae by intro ducing three witnesses yesterday after noon. These were Watson A. Hitchcock, 20S South Twenty-fourth street; C. D. Crosier, 2117 Webster, and Steve Maloney, capt&in of Omaha detectives. Hitchcock corroborated testimony of Nels Gunderson .street railway conductor, that Hauser boarded a westbound Far nam car at 11:30 o'clock the night of the murder, October 16. He remembered Hauser, he said, on account of his agi tated manner. He testified, as did all the other witnesses who saw the man on that night, that he wore .a dark suit without any overcoat and a dark soft hat. Tells Where Hanser Lived. Crlzier Is proprietor of a rooming house, where Hauser and his wife and 3-year-old daughter, Llda, lived from Oc tober 1 to 21. Attorneys for the defense admitted that Hauser was In Omaha during this period and objected to the testimony, but it was received. Crosier said Hauser stayed at home In the day time and went out at night Objectiona to further testimony concerning his per sonal habits were sustained. Captain Maloney told of theldentlflca- tlon ofHauser by Miss Grace Slater, eye witness of the murder, at Wichita, after the man had been brought from Indianapr oils, where he was arrested. The detective chief was anxious to tell a number of circumstances concerning Hauser, to which objections of the de fense were susxalned. He provoked hur ried protests hry Hausers attorneys and Judge English when he intimated that the defendant had confessed the holdup of the W. T. Hause home a week before the date of the Smith murder. Maloney Identified a huge, wicked look ing blue-steel revolver as a gun which Chief of Police John Hays of Wichita had received from Hauser and given to him. Hauser admitted the grun was his, the captain testified. Jadce Asks If It Is Loaded. As the swapon was handed to Maloney by the county attorney Its mussle pointed ominously at Judge English. The court inquired in a dignified manner: "Are there any bullets In that cylin der?" "No. sir," ssld Mr. Msgnry. "It Is empty." The Judge held that the gun should not be received in evidence, owing to lack of evidence connecting It with the mur der of Mr. Smith. Dr. S. McClenaghan, coroner's physician, had testified that he believed Mr. Smith's wound was in flicted by a .3$-raliber gun, but. said he I could not bs positive. Wife Tries to Save Bandit. Mrs. May Hauser, 27-year-o!d wife of Arthur Hauser, who. according to police reports, furnished Informat'on which re sulted in his arrest, arrived from Wichita to attempt by her testimony to ssve him from the electric chain With her were the -yer-old daughter tif the bandit, who resembles him to a remarkable degree, and Mauser's aged mother. The trio came from Wichita, Kan., which is their horns. The wife declared she will testify that Hauser was with her the night of the murder, October M. thus providing an alibi snd a possible escape from the net of evidence which the state already has drawn tightly about the alleged mur derer of W. H. Smith. Woodmen of the World cashier. The two women exhibited Intense af fection and devotion for the bandit who Is charged with committing many terrible crimes. Mrs. Mary Hauser, the mother, to years old, rushed Into the court room, throw her arms about her son and kissed him repeatedly. Wblls District Judge English replied sharply on his desk, elllffs led the sg'd woman to a seal. Not Allowed In Court. The wife and child were not allowed to come into the court room, but Hauser met them during recess at 11 o'clock. The bars of a cell were between them, hut the man and wife each held the other's hand during their flfteen-mtnuto conversation. The little girl held all their attention. They conversed through the child, who Is able to repeat almost any sentence. Hau ser reached an arm through the bars and fondled hie little daughter. He niade her stand on a bar of the cell so that I might hold her upright with his arm. He held his face up to the bars. If Hauser knew of the repart that his wife had given him up he said nothing of It to his wife. Mrs. Hauser refused to make any statement for publication, save the announcement of her purpose In Omaha, The mother had been In atructed by attorneys to say nothing. "IU la a good boy," she declared, however. Horton Resumes Seat. Richard Horton. chief counsel for Hauser, returned from Kansas, where he was called by the Illness of his father, and resumed his seat In the court room. During the morning Miss Grace Slater, chief witness for the state, finished cross examination. Other witnesses continued the identification -of Hauser. Miss lone Fogg, 3118 Dodge street, whose home overlooks the corner at which the murder of Mr, Smith occurred, tes tified that after she heard a shot and Miss Slater's scream, she saw a man dressed In a dark suit and dark hat going north through the tennis court at her home and that another person was in front of him. The man's arm was out stretched and he was crouching over, she testified. Mra. Mrwlon Testifies. Mrs. Letllla Newlon. 28M Davenport tcit, testified that on the nUht of October 1, she left tho "Billy" Sunday taUriucle with iur husbani ut D o' lock; that they took n Jitney and gut off at Twenty-ninth and Farnam. As they walked north, she saul, a man follow J ihcin. They took the middle of the scrr and the man, she dec ar.l. rel ieved theni to Twenty ninth and DnCgo stttf.ts. There, she asserted, he stood under an arc light for tnroa minutes, Ki.tchtng them. This man, Mrs. N'ew'on tea.lfl t, was Arthur Hauser, and wore a tiark suit and di-rk aoft hat. Thi ( olnt vh'i na.ned is twi blocks eaat of ihe scent, of tlis rr.ir r. She fixed the turn at about 9:80 o'clock, half an hour prior to the murder. .

He also wore a dark suit, the witness said. Croan-Kinmtnr Mlsa Slater. When cross-examination of Miss Gra e Slater. Smith's companion at the time of the murder, was resumed, attorneys for the defense confronted her with alleged statements made last October thnt she would be unable to Identify the murderer. She said she did not remember whether she snid at the inquest "No, sir; I could not Identify the man; It was dark." Che admitted she then said she would have to hear his voice in order to identify him, snd ssld she had "felt that way about It, then." On re-dlrect examination County At torney Mlagney brought out the state ment by her that any doubts concerning her ability to Identify the murderer had existed prior to the time she first saw Hauser, and that she had always been positive that none of the other suspects shown her by the police was the murderer.
