TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS—EIGHTH DAY, Special to the Bee, Grexwoon, Towa, March 17, WM DERKSEN, Andrew Taylor was in my employ duriag September, 1883; Androw intro- daced me to his brother, Wm. Taylor; he was frequently shaved at my shop by Andrew while he worked for Jones, WM, SEARS, I know Gus Lotts; I saw him at Schick- entanz barber shop on Mala straet in Council Bluffs, Saturdsy morning; wit ness was not permitted to testlly as to what the conversation was DR, CROS3 showed the scar on his lelt hand to the jury and each juror made a_porsnal ex- amination of the same. No questions were aeked, It being shown that J. B, GATES had been personally served with & sub. poena by Sheriff Guittar, on behalf of the atate, and having refused to appear, an attachment was iswed sgeiost him for contempt, This concluded the evidence in this case, Loth sides formerly rested. MR, N. M, PUSEY began the srgument on bohalf of the state, He presented certain Instractions for the conslderation of the court and proceeded to explain at length the vlews of counsel for the state. He explained the law of malice —ocxpress and 1mplied. On motion of Judge Hubbard the jury was sent out, and the legal argument ad- dreseed to the court was continued. It was clalmed that if the accused de- Iiberataly formed the intention to kill the deceusad, elther with or without prov- ocation, express malice will be presumed. In such case provocation is no mitigation of the offense. Several authorlties were cited In support of thia position. At the conclution ¢f Mr, Pussy's ar- gument, Judge Hubbard claimed that Mr. Pusey having read his Instructions and made a porticn of his rematks in the presence of the jury, that the state had made its opening argument and was not permitted to further pretent the facts in openinyg argument. This ob- jection was overraled and COL. D. B. DAILY began the argument to the jury on be- balf of the siate. At ten o'clock, a. m., be referred the promises made by the state in opening the case and claimed that all the pledges as to what it conld prove had been fully redeemed. He charged that the defonse had not proved what had been pledged. The defense here failed to show McKune to be the physical giant pictured by them, He was in fact disabled. He was ruptured and wore the tru's I now hold in myghand ‘when he was shot down by the defendant. The difference in the weight of deceased and Dr. Cross amounted {o nothing. He was not Cross' equal physically, There was a coolness between "these two men. Cross had eaid: *‘If the courts do not do thelr duty toward McKune I will fake the law into my own hands.,” That Crozs had made threats extending over a long period of tima and directed against Mc- Kune was abundantly proven. He made threats in the presencs of A. B, Nicholas at Hamwmer's houss, in the presence of Mrs. Brooks and Emma Brooks, He told Nicholas: *‘I will harrass him or bother bim till we get into a quarrel. 1 will get him to strike me. 1 will allow him to get the better ot me and then I will shoot him, Iwill make it out that 1 had to do it In self defense, and!then 1 will go scot free.” This shows the plan, the scheme, the des’gn ¢f the defencant. When he made this infamous declaration he was as much of a murderer as he ls to-day, Nicholas is a truthfulman. He {s not impeached. Cross rehearsed the story of the abortion fn the presence of many pereons. He told Mra, Watt that, ““If McKune is not punished, I will take the law into my own hands. If Dr. Mc Kuneshould ever dare to tonch me or I should ever get into trouble I have lots of rich rel:tives back cast who will help me out of it If McKune thould touch me I wonld shoot him.” He told]W. J, Trotter: *“McKune hasn t treated me just 1ight; we ars mot good friends at all, 1t McKune attempts to whip me or crosses my path I will mske an ead of him,” Cross told Mra, Good: ““McKane is a ecoundrel and ought to be sert across the state. I coneider him an enemy of mine and if I ever get a chance 1 will shoot him.” He told her he would rlek hang- ing fortt, At that time ho pulled a revolver out of his pocket and sald: “I will do the deed.” ~Later he told her, if he ever got a chance he would shoot him. He would thiok no more of shoot- Ing him than-he would of shooting a dog Mrs. Ballard eays that he told her: “‘McKune is not what he ought to be.” He to!d Susen Brooks: “Dr, McKune Is dirty dog;” sald, “I will get even with him.” ~He talked about *‘shooting” some cne. Emma Brooks corroborated her mother. Mre. Meotcalf says he sald to her: *'If you ever saw wy name In the papers it was in connection with that damned Me- Kune outfit. McKune oughbt to be in the penltentisry, If the judge would not give him justice he would some day do it himself.”" He sald, “I will mansge him some way. The more I think of it the madder I get G. W, Roblosen says he cursed Mc Kone in his presence, He PR § have & bone to pick with him. I would a8 lief shcot him as to shoot & dog.” Sackett says he tcld him: *If Dr McKune does not cease persecuting me, I will put an ena to him.” He said I will “kill” or ‘‘shoct” him, Ten witnetses bave testified 1hat they bave heard him make the threats as here detailed, The defense has failed to prove Me- Kuve ever made verbal threats agalcst Cross. The onlyevidence tending in that directfon s that of Matteson, Cr: y8 McKune cursed him and scowled at him, AFTERNOON SESSION, The jury has been placed in charge of sworn cfficer, and will ro longer be permitted to converss with oatside par- ties. The court room was early filled to ovetflowing, many ladies being in attend- ance. Col. Dailey renowed his argament. He claimed that In the Nicholson abortion matter McKune was the lojured party, and that the ill-will Cross bore him was without any reatonable provocation, that no witness, outtide of ('rors himself, has testified to any threat ever made by Mc Kune and communicated to Cross. The weapon eelected by Cross was one of the most effective and deadly, He provided himself with this revolver for the purpose of murderlng a man who had never injured him in any way. The evidence shows that it wasMcKune’s habit to pass Cross without noticlng him, that he treated him with Indiffcrance. It was not his habit to scowl at Croes Cross dld frequently manifest his con- temptand dislike for McKane, The cie- cumstances of McKune killing Cross was trivial, McKune's life and manner on the day of his death was in harmony with his usoal habit, There is nothing to in- dicate that he was contemplating having a difficulty with Cross, Miss Berger stated that sho saw Cross standing near the crossing by Woodbury's office appar- ently waiting for some ono to erc She bad traversed but a short distance when she fooked back and saw the two men fighting farlonsly. That MoKune was retreating, Cross pursalng him. that sho mnext saw the flash of the re- volveer Jackson met Croes near this corner going westward, Shortly aftor he mot McKune in front of the Suggart building. Cross waited for McKune to overtake him, This proves the lying in wait. He went Into a minute description of the geography of the tragedy, as indi- cated by the map, He roviewed at length the evidence of Dr. Cross, As this roport closes at 5 o'clock Col. Dally is 81ill addresaing the jury, He will be followed by Jno. N. "Baldwin and Judge Hubbard for the accused after which Col. Sapp will corc'ude the argu- ment for the state. The charge of the court will then ba read, after which the case will go to the jury. It does not now eeem probable that the case will be finally submitted to the jury before to- merrow evenlng FARM MATTERS.

We'll Worry Along. The Otoe Optic eays: The fact is au- nounced with due solemnity that peach buds are killed and that we will have no crop this year. If corn deoes well, and hogs flourish, and steers get fat, and markets go up, and freight rates go down we will try to worry along without home- grown peaches. ‘Wheat In Knox County, The Creighton Ploneer says: The farmers throughout Knox county are making preparations to sow thelr wheat, and In many places cn ihe high lands have already begun. It is almost the universal experienca cf farmers in this section of the state that the sooner they get their wheat crop in the better, and no doutt their experience will be heeded in this particalar, A much larger arount of this cereal will be sown this year than heretofore, owing to the succsssful orop raised last year. The acreage of flax wlll also exceed that of asy previous year, as it has been duly demonsirated the past faw years that it could be successfully ralsed in Knox county, Plant Trees. Plant them now. ‘A thing of Eeauty isa joy foraver,” snd nothing is more beautiful than a home surronnded by suitable trees and shrubbery. Every one one who can possibly, should plant out plenty of evergreen and other crnaments! trees. Put out such as will be an orna- ment to the premises. Make your lote, yard, home premises just as handsome as pessible. This costs but little time or money and will add greatly to the beauty of the city or ccuntry and enhance the value of your places as well. Every ove who Lasa lot ought to have trees planted on it, and these cired for in the best way. Vicious Animals, The quertion of whether or not sires transmic thelr dispoeition to offspring is generally conceded, yet there are those who differ, but &5 a rule they ars owners of vicious eires. In our judg- ment no greater crror can be made than In using a vicious male for breeding pur- poses; tor while he may not always get vicicus offspring, he is much mcre apt to do 8o than is the mild-tempered animal, In fact this same rule may be applied to female animals, yet not to so great an extent.

He was 87 years of age, and was known as ‘‘Mo- Bride, the Miser.” He minded his own sifairs strictly, and beyond being about the dirtiest hamn belng in the world, would not attract much attention any where. He had tenantsin his houte, but slncs his wifo died some years ago, he liad Jived miserably in a littlo room by himself, eating almost anything he coald get and making his habitation as filthy as himself. In 1850 he began lire here by dealing in tainted meat and after requiring some means fortook this busine:s for that cf real estate. Every cent he covld rake together went loto houses or land on which to bwld houses, These were of the most paying sort—tenements, with often from six to ten famlilles packed into each. His in come was a very large percentags of his capital. 1t [s estimated that he was sersed of proporty valued at from & 000 to §100,000. Many curions storiss are told of him, some of doubtful founda- tion, but all woiog to show his general character. Itis related that at a moet. fog of bondholders and others interested In the Lake Shora railway once held at the old court hous?, at Erle street and the Tearace, among thcss who presented themselves was McBride, always the filthiest object one would run onina month's ecarch, demanding a seat at the moeting. Ths porter of the house was about to put him out for a framp, when he was warned by ons of the bystandera that it woodn's do, for MecBrlde owned $40,000 10 Lake Shora, He had a habit of csrrying & large market basket cn his arm when about the strects. This he vsad as a general willty concern, puts ting into it anything he ecame acrots of valuo. Fcrlorn as he appeared, ho was never without money. A hardware clerk tells of solling him ba'f a pound of nalls once and was astonished on being offered o $20 gold piece in payment, when the man’s whole outfit wouldn't have brought five cents in the best rag market. A few years ago ho had sn old iron ssfe in his room in which he kept some of his papers, but on two cc.aslons he was disturbed by midoight marauders, who evidently sue- pected that there might be more or less cash in the mlser’s strong box, and ac- cordingly he got rid of the safe, prefer- of pawing to such an extent as to make it very annoylng, and before the colt was two weeks old he showed slgns of the ssme habit, which continued to grow, in spite of all attempts to break him, The man who comes to you vith a viclous stallion wlll say that the habit has been contracted through bad Fandling; but this makes no difference. The fact that he has bad habits is euflicient, and whether ioherited or adopted will have the ssme effcct on offspring.
