(From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Oct. 2. (Special.) Su
preme court opinions, handed down
today, contained affirmation of the
judgment of the Omaha News-Judge
Estelle damage suit in favor of the
latter, and gave a victory for the state
in the O Connor will casc from
Adams county.
The court says in its syllabus of the
opinion in an appeal made by the
Qniaha Daily News from a judgment
obtained by Jfidge Lec S. Kstelle of
Omaha for ?10,0U damages for al
leged libel.
"Where instructions have been
given by the district court upon re
quest of one of the parties to the
suit, he will not aftrewards be heard
to complain in this court on appeal
that the instructions were erroneous.
"The law with regard to qualified
privilege and the necessary elements
which must be shown in order to up
hold a verdict for libel in such a case,
is adhered to.
"Instruction examined and held to
be in accordance with the law in the
case. '
"The condition and situation in life
of one injured by a libel may be
shown in evidence and may be con
sidered by the jury upon the question
of the amount of damages."
Webb Obtains Damages.
Judgment for $5,000 awrded by the
Douglas county district court to
James M. Webb against the Omaha
Southern Interurban railway was af
firmed by the supreme court. Webb
was riding to Fort Crook in a car so
crowded that he had to stand on the
front platfotm holding on to the hand
holds of the car. The conductor asked
for his fair and in reaching in his
pocket was thrown thrown from the
car by reason of a sharp curve. The
court holds the damages not ex
cessive. Cannot Escape Guilt.
When two or more persons enter
upon the perpetration of a burglary
and in trying to escape one shoots
and kills an officer, "all" are held by
the state supreme courtito be guilty
of murder, though some may not have
been armed at the time.
This is the opinion of the court in
the case where Cornelius E. Cross a
watchman for the Chicago, St. Paul
& Minneapolis Kauroaa company,
was hot and killeu when attempting
to arrest three men discovered m the
act of robbing a car in Omaha.
The appeal was made by Macario
Romero who set forth that he was
present unwillingly and had no gun,
and further that he ran away five
minutes before Cross was shot. This
was supported by evidence, but in
face of the fact that it was not known
who fired that shot which killed
Cross, all were held equally guilty.
Wins O'Connor Case.
The state wins its suit in the cele
brated O'Connor will case from
Hastings, the supreme court holding
against the so-called Culavin will, this
affirming the judgement of the Adams
county court, which held the will il
legal. The proceedings in the matter be
gan in 1914 when it was seemingly
apparent that John O'Connor had died
without known relatives. The state
put in its claim foi the estate, but was
met by a will purporting to be the
last will of the deceased man which
gave the entire estate amounting to
$100,000 to John T. Culavin. Con
siderable litigation resulted, the dis
trict court holding for the state. The
case was appealed to the state su
preme court which affirms the opinion
of the lower court.
