tlso double-crossed this county and
Society. ,
"When alike Clark, that reugh
Irishman, came out nd said to the
community: 'Elect me sheriff and I
will close every joint.' he kept his
t jvord.
X "The line of Lynch' defense wa,
'W or 'I don't know,' or 'I don't
remember.' Any liar can say that.
t ' "One sad thing in this trial to me
, jvas when 'Johnny' Lynch brought his
mother to the witness stand. 4 hope
that no man in Omaha will again
1 bing ms Poor m,ncr to testify in
such a case. Where was his sister-in-law?
' i Not Fool All the Time.
"Joljnny is not a fool all of the
' i'nnt, but he is a fool some of the
' time. When Farmer Burns testified
to having seen two hats in the gym,
ihey would not dispute him, because
Jie is not'-of the sewer. They hid tq
' ilrag in the old mother. They did not
Jnake any mention of the hat pins or
hair pins.
: "Did Loch or Tylee do up their
Jiair with pins?
"It was infamous to testify, as Roo
' tiey did, but it was a natural thing.
. Ie must have 'tied in his heart and
begged for repentance when he a-
v v.ered the question put to him.
' Don't you believe him."
t "You of the . jury can sound the
cleath knell of decency in public of-
, fice by your verdict if you want to.
V Hut Mike Clark is the kind of a man
jvho -said 'Nothing doing,); when
Lynch wanted roadhouses undis
turbed. "Lynch did not have the sense to
fcllieve ' Clark meant what he said.
jLynch tried to get a scissors hold on
- Clark's manhood, morality and his
ath of office., .Lynch offered such
bait as a trip to the Mardi Gras, but
Oark said 'No.' . -
y jf'When Lynch saw he could do
iothing with Clark, he ut Dudley in
' v if elevator conductor to pester him.
$ ("When Johnny said 'Mike, you ain't
- fcoing to close me up at Schescheyjs,
r re you?' in his laconic way. Clark
laid, 'Johnny, 'you have lost..
' f End of a Perfect Day.
"Counsel for, the defense" would
iave us believe that Lynch, Is the
Issence of purity. If so, let us praise
he name of vice. Theynvould have
I'ou of the jury believe that we. are
rying to disturb the peace at the
nd of a perfect day for Johnny. ,
t "Bring in a'verdict for Lynch'and
ou might as well say to all future
Officials that we did not elect them
enforce the laws. Let us lustain
is snerirt wno nas taken a siana
morality and law and order.
"Would you, men ot the jury,
father raise your daughters and sisters
" Onder the McShane administration or
j flie Clark administration? '
"That is the answer ttf this case.
I "How -many girls have gone, wrong
since Riverside and Lakeside were
. opened? ... ' :'
i You can't answer me? but you
know that since Clark became sheriff
, the devil has not gained any recruits
- from those roadhouses. By yout ver
' : diet you can tell Johqny Lynch be can
not wear the robes of office with that
official record facing him.
I Sense, of Doing Duty.
"I never stood before 12 men with
more sincere convictions of doing my
duty and that there is righteousness in
my advocacy. ' ! ' ;
.'. t ''Attorney Rose of the defense Is
" a man of high ideals and professional
ethics and I am curious to know how
he bears ud under this case.
"I suppose Johnny Lynch did want
to be the ig bumble1 all in 'this drive
alid suppose Dennison didn't like him.
' What do we care for that? i '
' i "If Dennison told the truth, it is
" the truth just the same. .
"Would you trust Lynch in your
owrt affairs? Would you introduce
v him to your loved ones? ' -
"I have beard hell described as a
"place where a libertive like Lynch
could go and pose as descent
; "They may say that this is i private
case and the county attorney is not
prosecuting. Don't ; be mislead by
; such talk. Again I say. the jury sys
tem is on trial"
; Farmer Burns,' called Wednesday
afternoon in rebuttal by Clark's law
yers, identified a check .said to have
been made by Pete Loch t him in
th sum of $500. , ,
Burns said he received an addi
tional payment of $100 in currency
from Loch. Witness offered a state-.-
-raent on a letterhead showing pic
tures of Loch, Ple&tjna and Burns as
partners in wrestling business.
5 The ex-wrestler testified that he
received a statement of the Peters
, Stecher match from Tylee, former
bookkeeper for Pete Loch. a
i Loch Handled' Deal,
j Kennedy: .
i "Was it necessary to put up a for-,
feit to get,Stecher to wresne with
; Peters?" ' ,
"I don't know. Loch handled that
matter." ,
"Did Plestina get any pay to help
tain Peters?" ,
; "No. Plestina got his pay in the
njrxt match." - ' '
5 "Did you help count the money
after the PetersStecher match?"
V'No. I counted the tickets." '
Referring to pictures of himself and
Ich on letterhead, Burns said: '
. J Why They Were Friends.
"Tbat was when we werevsupposed
t be good friends." y
I Fred T. (Fatty) Schmidt corrobo
rated testimony of 'Anton (Tony)
Ifoffman, who testified that Lynch
. took him and Schmidt to auto to see
Lakeside. - ' '
!"Lynch," said witness, "told us he
had a nice spot he wished to show, us.
When we got out there Lynch asked
Ijoffman why he didn't look for a
' Ideation and added Jie would see Hoff
rrtan through if he got a place "
- I" Donbta Witness Veracity.
. I Attorney Kennedy contended that
Sthmidt did not give same reply to
him u he did to Baker ia response to
similar query.
"Can jro remember letter what
happened In March," 1917,; than you
can IS minutes ago?"
"In March."
"Then th longer ago the incident
is, the better you can remember, can
vou?"
' "Yes, sir."
Mrs. Peter Loch, called by Lynch's
lawyers, recalled visit of Nesselhous
to the Loch home. She admitted
Nesselhous and Hoffman without the
knowledge of her husband who was
greeted by the callers with evident
friendliness.
Was At Loch Home.
Mrs. Charles J. Harrower was at
the Loch home in January when Nes
selhous and Hoffman called.
Kennedy: "What part of the con
versation did you hear?"
"I heard somebody ask Mr. Loch
to go to Excelsior Springs and his
expenses would be paid."
Mrs. Harrower is a sister-in-lw of
Mrs. Loch.
"Tony" Hoffman, recalled, denied
that anything was said to Loch about
going to Excelsior Springs or any
where else and that his expenses
would be paid.
Loch is Recalled.
Pete Loch, recalled, examined al
leged financial statement of Peters
Stecher match, and said it had been
written by Tylee and without knowl
edge of witness.
Loch' testified he and Farmer
Burns and Plestina took the $10,024
proceeds from the Peters-Stecher
match down to the Owl club and slept
on a mat with the money under it.
"There was a window open and it
fell down, and we all thought we
were stuck up," Loch said reminis
cently. Says "Swore to Lies." , .
- One of the features of the Wedncs-
rdav morninff session was a statement
by Anton (ony) Hoffman, city li
cense inspector, on the witness stand,
that his friendship for Pete Loch
ceased at the time when Loch testi
fied in this trial, for the. reason, Hoff
man said, that Loch 'wore to lies."
Hoffman and "Billy" Nesselhous
testified' that during a conversation
between them and Pete Loch the lat
ter said that he was 'the best little
jury fixer in town and had fixed many
juries for Johnny."
Through, With "Johnny,"
Hoffman further testified that when
Loch sought his intervention with
rVnninn nn an occasion when Loch
is alleged to have stated that he ,was
"through with Johnny. , ,
Testimony showed that Loch sent
flowers to the Dennison home during
fhe recent illness of Tom Dennison.
Dennison, recalled, testified that he
did ,not. support Clark for sheriff;
that he was neutral m the - sheriff
fight; that he and Lynch had all they,
could do at that time fighting pro
hibition. '
Corroborate Testimony.
Mrs. Mary Lynch, mothV of
"Johriny" Lynch, expressed Uianks
when she was nqt cross-examined.
Her presence on the witness stand
was brief and referred only- to the
incident of two women's hats said to
have been discovered in the court
house'gynl. She corroborated previ
ous testimony that the bats were
those of herself and daughter-in-law,
who had been out for an auto ride.
, Mrs. Lynch has occupied a front
seat during the entire trial and her
nerves gave way a little when she
was called to testify. Her "sons con
sole1 her.

"Was it windy when you started on
the ride?" ' ,
"It was windy, or we would not
have left the hats there."

"Yes, sir." .
"Were you at Lakeside when Leon

"Yes."
"Do you recall talking to Tony
Hoffman and Fred Smith at Owls'

"And did you tell them, ,'Boys, I'll
get you a place, and if you get a place
I'll help you?'" "
"I did not."
" "For the last year or two during
McShane's regime as sheriff is it not
a fact that you voted in favor of even
feeding bill?" ,
"I did."
"And that was under same lar al
lowing 50 cents per day when less than
100 and 32 cents when average more
than 100?" ',
"I think it was." '
Saw Law in 1915.
"When did county board tike cogni
zance of that law?"
:"I think in 1915." w ,
"Did Sheriff McShane have his wiff
in the sheriffs apartments?"
"He did."
"How long?" '
"Two or three months. While he
was building new home in Dundee."
Attorner Kennedy stated that atti
tude of Lynch" in jail-feeding graft and
his good faith in that matter should
be brought put before the jury.
Acted in Good Faith.
Counsel for Lyngh proposed to
show that Lynch acted in srood faith
when he opposed the montjily average"!

inspector, and W. E. (Billy) Nessel
hous, in rebuttal testimony for the
prosecution Wednesday morning, tes
tified, to a visit to the home of Pete
Loch. This testimony was offered to
refute testimony previously offered.

the proceedings by declaring that he
parted ways with Loch when the lat
ter "swore to lies on the witness stand
In thia trial."
Howell: "How did you happen to
go out to Loch's home?" ,
"He was sick and asked me out."
"Was Nesselhous with you?"
"He, was," and Loch asked me if

on that occasion advised Loch to tell
the truth if he should testify in this
trial and, above all things, not to
tamper with the jury. Hoffman tes
tified that Lech replied to Nessel
hous: "I won't tamper with the
jury and you know that I am one of
the best little jury fixers in town. I
have fixed many for Johnny." Loch
was further quoted by witness as say
ing that he was through with Lynch
and wanted to get back with Denni
son. With reference to a conversation
Hoffman said he had with Loch in
the city hall Howell asked:
"In that conversation did Nessel
hous ask Loch what defense Lynch
would aiake and who he would use.
and did Loch say that Lynch would
use some of. the county commission
ers who gave him permission to use
the gvm roomr
"Yes. sir."
"And did Loch state that he would
testify to the truth? '
"He did."
Saw No Beer. .
"Did Nesselhous tell Loci" that if
he (Loch), swore to the truth he would
have to say he saw two women in the
gym, state that Lynch was interested
in Lakeside and Riverside, and that
beer was carried over to the gym?
"Yes, and Loch stated that he saw
no beer carried over.
Hoffman related a visjt with Lynch
and Fred Smith to Lakeside, on in
vitatiqn of Lynch. "Lynch told us
he wanted to show us his new spot.
He said Smith, and I should get us a
pla:e, and I said I did not care for
anything like, that because l had a
family, said the witness.
"Are you tru to Pete Loch?" asked
Attorney Kennedy.
"I ceased fo be a friend of Loch
on the day that he went on the stand
and testified to lies regarding the con
versation between him and myself."
r . Money Cause of Break.
Hoffman added this statement:
"Loch told me had fallen out with
Lynch, on account of some money
mattersv 'I'm through with Johnny,
and I want you to tell Tom so. One
thing that worries me is that state
ment I made to Attorney Kennedy.'"
Kennedy "What was said about
Loch leaving town?" ,
"Loch told me he swore to 'a lot
of.ltts in his statement to Attorney
Jennedy, and he did no: want to
go. on the stand and swear to those
lies."
"Why did Loch go to you to have
the message taken to. Denrtison?"
. Was Dennison's Friend
"He knew that I was a friend of
Dennison and he thought I was the
man who could square him."
Did you think you could square
him with Dennison?"
"I didn't have much success."
"Where did you see Dennison?"
"At his home when he was sick."
"What did you inspect out there?"
(Hoffman had referred to an inspec
tion trip to Lakeside with Lynch.)
Some flowers sent by Loch.
The Vrebuttal of Nesselhous was
substantially a corroboration of Hoff
man's testimony.
y. Fitt on Stand.
City Elevator Inspector Fitt was
called to show by the records that
Jay Dudley, court house elevator con
ductor, did not receive a license to
operate an elevator until March 22,

Harks attorneys in rebuttal.
Howell: Air. Dennison, do you
know 'Si' Hoskins?"
"I khow him by sight."
"Did he ever come to you for a
Recommendation to Sheriff Clark for
appointment as a deputy sheriff?"
I never had any talk with him on
the subject."
You supported Mr. Llark for sher
iff?"
"I did not."
"Whom did you support?" Attorney
Kennedy asked. ;.."
Nobody that time.
"Isn't that rather unusual for you?"
"Yes. rather unusual. I had a fight
of my own on."
Dennison's Own Troubles.
i "Were you and Johnny Lynch

"What Fabrics arc Favored
for Springtime Wear"
in Silks.
Fairaway Crepes in excellent skirt and suiting weights, colors and

In Woolens ,
A splendid assortment of spring shades in wool" jerseys, the most ap
propriate dress fabric of the moment. Don't fail to see these now
while selections are complete. Silver toned Burrella is a cloth "par
excellence" for coats because it, looks well and gives the best of
service.
These few suggestions can at best give but
