Testimony
Two Youths Testify to Seeing
Darkened Store at Time
"Doctor" Asserts He Was
Tending Shop.
Shady Past Is Alleged
Two 11-year-old boys sprang the
rurprise and sensation of the day
Lite yesterday in the Kent trial when
tht-v swore that on the night of July
2S they sirw the lights of the Kent
tore extinguished at 8 in the eve
ning and that the store remained
darkened until late that night.
It was the third day of the trial
of "Dr." H. S. Kent, charged with
attempted murder of two bL
found in a well near Thirty-third
and California streets. Unlet tit
torneys this morning learn of new
evidence they wish to introduce, the
cae will go to the jury this after
noon following arguments in th
morning by attorneys and instruc
) tioris by District Judge ' Troup,
I "!ic two witnesses called to tht
stand by the prosecution in rebuttal
lol.'owing th winding up of the de
fense at 2:4a were John Rinn and
Harold Houston, both of whom were
vorking as delivery and soda foun
tain boys for. the California, phar
macy across the street from the
Kent confectionery store, .Thirty-
tinrd and California streets, July
2i the day it is alleged Louise
boeke gave birth to twins. ,
Saw Lights Go Out.
We always worked until 10:30
during the summer, said the Rinn
lad. "I remember the night of July
24 because it was the night before
tne baoies were found in the well.
I was at the froiit window at
ai d saw the lights go out in 'Doc's'
place, it wasn t usual for any uch
thin to happen, as 'Doc' usually
closed at 10, half an hour before we
did. I spoke of it to Harold Hous
ton, who wai working there with
mc, and we looked at the clock and
a lady working In . the store also
talked to us about it
The Rinn boy's father is "Pat"
Rinn, desk sergeant at South Side po
lice headquarters. The other boy
lives at 4340 fcrsktne street.
The prosecution put great faith in
this testimony, backed by the Hous
ton boy, who testified exactly the
iroe as vounor Rinn. There has
,r".ver .been any testimony offered
showing where Doc Kent was
from about 7 on the evening of July
23. until between 10:30 and 11, ex
cepting Kelt's statement on the wit
ness stand- early, in the morning.
Describing his actions at that time,
Kent said:
Said He Was at Store.
, "I didn't go back to the Boeke
home until 5:30 for supper, my usual
time, stayed there a short time and
went back to the store. I closed
the store about .10:30. I went from
the store to the Boeke home, arriv
ing there about 10:35 to inquire
about Louise's health. I didn't re
main there more than two or three
minutes and ieft by the front door.
"I returned to the store, or
rather near the store where I talked
to a group of boys. I was to meet
a man named Blanchard in regard to
lonning money on an automobile. I
ttlked awhile and then went to
bed."
Testimony of other defense wit
nesses who saw Kent that night,
was to the effect that they saw
bim between 10:30 and II. the time
he admitted he1 spent talking in
front of the store and in visiting
at the Boeke home. No one except
ing Kent, himself, has offered any
testimony as to his whereabouts
from 7 until 10:30.
Saw Kent With Bundle.
Mrs. Ivfary McElheny, a next
door neighbor, has testified that
Kent went into the, Boeke home at
10:15, slipping out a few minutes
later with two bundles in his hand.
Kent has testified that he called
thete a few minutes about .10:30 and
''-carrying nothing excepting his
cane.
Copy of a divorce petition filed in
the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court on January-16, 1914, in
which Rollo O. Haskins charged
that Kent carried on illicit relations
th his wife, Emma HaVila Has
ts, during the winter of 1913 and
$ ' V was another bit of last min
iW evidence introduced by the
prosecution. Kent at that time was
working in a drug store at Twenty
fourth and California streets. Court
records produced showed that Dis
trict Judge Sears upheld the adultery
charse in the petition and granted
Haskins a divorce on June 15, 1915.
Doctor Testifies.
The prosecution also succeeded in
getting before the jury testimony
by Dr. S. McCleneghan that he saw
the alleged evidence of childbirth
found buried in the rear of the Boeke
home and that it indicated birth of
twins. This testimony, the state an
nounced, probably would conclude
its rebuttal and. arguments were
scheduled to open this morning.
O'Sullivan in closing his defense
called numerous character witnesses.
All spoke highly of "Doc" Kent,
whom they described as a "charac
ter around lhtrty-third and Cali-
fornia streets.
"He was always doing something
for somebody,' George King, 3522
Cass street, said. -.

Graeeo-Roman Baths
In Senate Building
Being Put in Shape
Washington, Nor.' 10. (By The
Associated Press.) The Graeco
Roman baths of the United States
senate, installed nearly eight years
ago, but never put into service, are
now being cleared of the cobwebs
and stains of time and will be in
shape to offer their luxuries of
steam, plunge, shower and electricity
to the members of the new senate
when it assembles.
Charges of . extravagance were
aimed at the baths in congressional
debate when they were installed and
as a result they were shorn of their
expensive equipment, bereft of their
attendants and left to gloom. . The
marble slabs,- Turkish rugs and
steamproof tables and chairs were
turned over to . government hospi
tals and only the marble shells and
nickel fittings left in place. ' ,
Now, however, the baths are com
ing back, but under a new plan.
Members of the senate themselves
will pay a large part of the operating
expenses and a special unofficial
committee has taken charge of the
assessments, which will be levied
against each user In proportion to
the service he exacts.
Mrs. Kammfrrer
Now Faces Term
. In County Jail
Verdict of Guilty of Contempt
of Court Is Approved
By State Supreme
Court.
' Mrs. Julia Kammerer, 1114 Fred
erick avenue,, grandmother of . Ruth
Naomi Kammerer, 3, taken to
Canada by her father, Charles Kam
merer, defying, court orders, faces A
term in the Douglas county jail. .
Verdict of guilty of contempt of
court in aiding and abetting her son
in spiriting away the grandchild
from its mother, given in district
court last May, and appealed to the
state supreme court, was concurred
in yesterday by a decision handed
down in the fupreme court in Lin

The grandmother is now out on
$1,000 bond following an order by
the supreme court in July calling for

Tells of Baby's Illness.
The kidnapinr of little Ruth
Naomi has held the attention of the
courts since April 10, when Charles
Kammerer stole the child ' from its
mother und his divorced wife. Anna
Kammerer, 2201 Vinton street. t
For many months the location of
the . father nd baby, was kept hid
den. Then Miss" Robina Kammerer,
sister of Charles, made two trips to
Winnipeg, where it was learned the
child had been taken, in unsuccessful
attempts to get the parent to return
the baby. ,
The grandmother s ill health was
used as an argument in an attempt
to induce him to return to the States,
but for many days he played in the
role of sphinx, refusing , either to
comment on the case or return Ruth
Naomi. :rv
Mother Is Blamed.
Then August 23. in a letter to
The Bee, he broke his long period
of silence and told of the illness of
his baby and his attention to it. He
blamed its illness to the alleged neg
lect of the child s mother, and pro
duced affidavits from Dh W. R.
Nichols of Winnipeg saying Rtith
Naomi suffered from eczema and
malnutrition.
On June 20, County Attorney
Shotwell declared he would seek
through the Department of, Justice
extradition of Kammerer to 'Omaha
for trial on kidnaping charges.
Kammerer and his daughter still
are in Canada, according to last re
ports. '
The grandmother has been under
technical arrest since May.

Commissioners That Coun

Of Equipment Surplus.
Washington, Nov. 10. The back
of the car. shortage has broken.
Clyde B. Aitchison of the Interstate
Commerce commission declared to
day before the annual convention
of the National Association of Rail
way and Utilities Commissioners.
"As a result of the efforts of rail
road operators and employes, with
the assistance of the shippers, and
under the policy laid down by the
commission," Mr, Aitchison said,
"we are now facing the possibility
of a surplus of equipment."
Mr. Aitchison declared the gen
eral public would never know "how
close the rail and water transporta
tion systems of the United States
came to a complete cessation of
functioning in the industrial heart
of the country, the result of the
strikes, beginning in Aoril. and
which continued in diminishing
force until mid-summer."
"The present financial situation."
Mr. Aitchison asserted, "coupled
with the apparent downward trend
of construction costs, makes it seem
prudent not to engage upon any
undue or avoidable construction
problem until conditions become
more normal and seemingly there
can be no letting -down in the in
tensive use of equifcnent, to make
the existing transportation machine
operate at a 100 per cent load fac
