THE DAILY BEE-TT RSDAY, . FOLY o, 185, LINCOLN. The Kailroed Commissioners Backward in Their Work, Faults Found With the System of Census Compilations State Boards do a Little Work That is Free From the Taint of Jobs and Jobbing, AT THE STATE OAPITOL, GENERAL NEWS, Reported by The DBre's Burea Lixcors, Neb,, July 8 —The raflrosd commlssloners secretarles are all readyex- cept Meas, Giere and Cowdy, for buasin Mz, Gere Is attending the atsembly meet- ing at Crete and Mr. Cowdy Is lald up with a badly cut hand, The wound wi received during a hall storm. There are several accidents nceding Investigaton, The commission have not.fied the rall- roads by clrcular letter that they must comply with section 11 of the law, which provides that the railroad companies skall give Immediate notice to the commls- sloners upon the ocecaurrence of an accident. ¢ The census bureau {s very busy with thelr work, hoplog to complete 1t in time to secure the §32,000 which is partly promised on the consideration that they comply with Instructions from Washing- . ton, It Ia not known that an appropria- tion has been fully made. There secems to be a difference between making sn ap- propiation and saying that upon the states complylng with ocertaln requlire- ments they shall be entltled to such an amount of money. It also seems a little g;aullar that the entire report must go to ashington Lefore the people of this state can have an cfficial knowledge of the returns. A dlifference of two months Is conalderable to localities which can E:ofil by a liberal advestisement of their cresse. Cerfalnly If the enumeration has been carefully taken it wlll give to the state not less than 675,000 inhabit- ants. Al but thirty-elght of the port- follos are now in, and all but about one hundred and fitty have been pald for. Thera are now thirty-six clerks busy copying on them. At a meeting of the atate beard on Tuesday the building of the Insane hos- ital was awarded. Mr. King, of Brook- yo, Towa, for $64,335 belog the lowest bidder, ho was no ified to appear with his bond. There is little doubt but that some of the Nebraska bu'lders trled to put up & echeme to scare the board into rejecting the bids from Iows, in order that they might have a fat take, sa they have léqnanlly had before, and there ia every reason to believe that Mr. King will promptly furnish the required bond and go ahead with the bullding. The bosrd of public lands and bulld- ings have complied with an act of the last leglslature autho: g them to lease for stock yards purpozes 500 acres of the land belonglng to the permanent school fand. Sald I was completed Tuesday and work at the Lincoln stock yards is being pushed to an early completion. The lessees of the ealt Jands have agreed to glve to the board an unconditicnal sur- render of the lease now held by them in preference to having the attorney gen- ‘eral procced sgalnst them to cancel the lease and it s understocd a new organiz- atlon will be effected ard make applica- tion to the board for a lease cf the front- age In compliance with the act ¢f last winter. A portion of the rallve lands will be advertlsed and sold to create the fund for iraprovements provided for under the law. John Sprecker, who for some time past haa been principal of the public schools at Norfo k, has recently been secured as teacher for the reform school at Kearney. The trees fn the capitol grounds are belng trimmed up In fine shape, glving the grounds quite a respectable appear- ance. It begins to look as though the slate board, which have been so successfally manipulated at divers times by the rings and jobbers In state property and aporo- rlatione, had awoke to new ideas. Tals is vistble in the salt lands and Norfolk In- sane asylum tchomes. At any ratein these two deals, thus far, the schemes have been frustraled by the board, and the state will recelve the full benefit as intended by the actlon of the legislature, regardless of the Nebraska contractors or forelgn jubbers, Luntzer, who has red prominently Ix the pollce court for the past eeveral years, and who was taken from church Suaday morning charged with arson, had 8 hearing Tuesdsy night before Justice Brovn, and was remanded to jatl to awali the acticn of the next grand jury, The new street roilway company have nomewhat aliered their plansaud are now laying wacks on Tenth street from M to G stree's, Inetead of on Eleventh atreet It is laarned from parties just in from the west, that five milen north of Lodge Polo & well was bered and an abund- ance of goed water obtained at seventy- six feet, Several other wellswill imme- diately be pat downin that vlelnity, In the supreme court, in the case of State ex rel. Caarles L, Pessey vs, H. Babeock, audtor, in which complalnant prays the cour: to issue a mandamus com- peliing the aulitor to lssue his warrant for $260 for the ute of a botanical gar- den, the court denled the writ, holdlng in substance that the board of regents of the university have no power to disburae the moneys arising from the three- elghths miil tax, ncr from rents or inter- arising from sales of elther the uni- slty or agricultural ocollege lands This would seem to be rather a serlous matter to the university, and the matter will quite likely be called to the atten- tim]x of the United Statss attorney gen- eral.

Thomas Ballard Feund Gailty of Mar- der in the First Degrez, Judgo Neville's Charge to the Jury— How the Verdict was Received by Ballard—Motion for a New Trial, “ Gullty of murder in the first degree,” was what greeted Thomas Ballard's ears yesterday afternoon, when the jury re- tarned, after having been out three Such a laws of Nebraska means death to the guilty patty, unloss it can be set atide. And yesterday was the firat time that ‘‘ gullty of murder In the first degree” had ever been heard to ring through the rooms, halls and corrl- dors of the new temple. Court was convened at 9:30 o'clock, and District Attorney Estelle procceded to make the closing epeech of the argu- ment., He talked about one hour and a half. Those who heard him say that his effort was a grand one and reflects great credit on him ss a pleader and an orator. At the conclusion of bis remarks Judge Nevllle gave the jury thelr Instructions, He said: The defendant is indlcted and charged thereby with the crlme of murder in the first degree by shooting one Henry H. Verpocrten. Then the statutory provisions under which murder In the firat degreo, mur- der In the second degre and manslaughter are prosecuted, were read. After that, his honor continued In substance as follows: You are instructed that the defendant in a criminal prosecuticn is presumed to be Innocent until proven gullty beyond a reasonable doubt, and before the state can justly clalm a convictlon the stato must satisfy you beyond a reasonable doubt of the truth of each material alle- gatlon In the indlctment by competent evidence and circumstances In the case. Murder In the first degree Is defined hy our statute which I have given you In my second Instruction and the definition there given by our law-making power is 50 plaln and conclse that I fear confusion in sttempting further definitlon than a short repetition: Should you find that Henry M. Verpoorten was alive in Douglas county on the 15th day of March, 1885, thateald Verpoorten is now dead, that he dled from an injury from the hands of some one other than him- eelf, that he came to his death by a wound in the left elde Infllcted by a bullet dlscharged from a plstol, that the defendant dlscharged the plstol and ioflicted the wound of which sald Verpoorten died, if you are eatlafied of the truth of all the aboye stated facts beyond a reasonable doubt, then it becomes your duty from the evi- dence to hunt for a motive and design on the part of the Aefendant; and if you, from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, find that the defendant purposely, with deliberatlon and premeditation, and with mallce deliterate and premeditated, did the killing, then you should find de- fendant guilty of murder in the firat degree. To do an act purposely Is to do it de- slgnedly, intentlonally and with a will, To premeditate fs to meditate before- hand upon the Intended act, and in this element the crime of murder, like that of deliberatlon, no contiderable time is necessary for premeditation. There 18 one additional element for you to coneider, and which element must be present In the defendant’s mind and act, before you can find murder fa the first degree, and that is malice. Maltco is hatred. It Is manifested In the mind by ill-will and a deslre to injure another. Where the fact of the killing is astal lished without any explanatory clrcum- stance, malice I8 presumed, and it would be murder In the second degree, but if the evidence es:abliched the fact of delib- erate and premeditated malice, then the offense 1s murder in the first degree {f the killlog was intentionally, purpoeely and unlawfully done. When the defanee Is Insanity the de- fendant must {n the first instance produce some evidense of such insanlty and if any evidenca tending to show Insanity is produced by the defendant then the burthen of showing sarity of defendant at the time of killing Is upon the state. You are instracted that if you are sat- fsfied from the dent was at the aside from belog under the influence of liquor then you should acquit the defen- dant of all three of the grades of orimi- nal homicide and turn him loose, If he was at the time Insane he can’t be con- sldered of any cflense whatever, The defendant esys ho was insine at the time of the killing and claims that excuee from the crime, the crime in all its grades, which he is entltled to if he was ineane. Lunatles are not punished by thelaw for their conduct however in- ibllity where Insanity is made a defense, ls, ¢‘did the accused at the time of the kill- ing of Verpooten have mental capacity or reason sufiiclent to enabla him to dfs- tingulsh between right and wrong and to know that the act with which he fs charged was wrong and had he sufficient mental power to enable him to avold commilting the act of killlng? I¢, after a careful consideration of the ully, you shall conclude ble doubt that defend- ne at the time of the killing, or that he conld distingulsh between right and wrong as to sald act of killlng, and deslst from the tame, then you should turn your attention to the defense of intoxication, Voluntary intoxleation is no excuse for crime, but on the trial of one charged with the crlme of murder in the first de- gree, the jury msy conslder the {ntox'ca- tion with other ovidence In ascertaining whether the killing wes deliberate and premeditated, If the defendant, with deliberate and premeditated malice, purposely and in- tentionally concelved the idea of killlup Verpoorten, and he had not the nerve in sober moments to do the deed, and he voluntarily and porposely put himself under the fuflaence of liquor so as to nerve himself to the deed, then it makes no excos? for defendant, even though he was 80 drunk that he could not then de- liberate and premeditate upon the act and know right from wrong, In a oase of prosecation for murder in the firat degree, if the jury shall be s isfied from the evidence, beyond a re able doubt, that defendant parposel and Intentionally, unlawfully and mali- clously, killed deceased, yet without deliberate and premeditated mallce, the jury could only find murder in the second degree. Ina prcsecution for murder in the first degree, If the jary shall be satis- fied, d & reasonable doubt, that de. lon&lnt unlawfally killed the decessed, but without malice at all, then, if the evidence is otherwise sufficlent, the jury oan only find the defendant guilty o mnslaughter.’ Now, gentlemen, I have dlscharged my duty the best I could and the sternest responsibility that can ever rest upon a jaror is upon yon. No jaror is worthy to slt as such if he by sympathy for the prisoner or prejudice against him permits his verdiet to be changed. You owe to the state and the defendant a verdict carved wholly out of the evidencs and the law, ¢ ; The jury, with these instructicns in their possession, then retired. After be- Ing out about thres houra they returned and all answered ‘‘present”’ to thelr names, Olerk Ijams, In a clear, steady voice, ssld: ‘“Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdlet!” The foreman arose and replied, **We have,’ and handed a paper to the olerk. The air was hot and sultry. There were an hundred or more morbldly-curious per- tons seated in the room, and from the time the jury came In until Clerk 1jims read the verdlot a deathly sllence pre- vailed, Gen. O'Brlen, looklng gloomy and ead, took L3 seat by his doomed client, who was ashy pale, snd trembled with nervousness, He scanned the jury very closely, but received no Indicatlon to glve him an instant’sgleam or thought of hope. When the verdict was pronounced he settled back into his chair, his head fell forward and he fixed his eyes, which were notlced to be dimmed with tears, In a steady gaze at some imaginary object on the floor. His attorney asked for the usual three days’ time to file his motion for a new trlal, which was granted, and the prisoner was remanded back to jail. GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON. The Noted Confederate Commander Ar- Tives in Omana, Out on a Tour of Railroad Inspection —His Work as aU, S, R, R, Commissioner, & During the Iate unpleasantness, Joseph E. Johnston, of Virginla, became quite noted as one of the big confederate gen- erals, and has since In all historles of the war figured more or lesy extentively as one of the southern army's greatest com- manders, Sinca Cleveland got to be president Gen. Johnston has been called into governmental prominence again by being appolnted a United States raflroad commissloner, succeeding George E. Armstrong. He is now out on a tour of {nspection, and arrived in this clty yes- terdsy, accompanied by T. B. Pickerel, an expert, who has been west before ex- amlning Into the condition of the Union Pacificroad. They are quartered at the Paxton, where a BEE reporter songht the general last evening for an interview. Butas hels very muchad- verse to - belng pumped, little could be gleaned. Gen. Jouinston s now 78 years old, though well preserved physic- ally and looks much younger than that. However, he Is very gray, though stands stralght and moves about vigorously. 1t was learned from other partles that his dutfes, which begin at this point, {nvolve a personal Inspection of all books and tracks of land grant roade, viz: the Union Pacific, Sloux Clty & Pacific, Northern Pacific, Central Pacific and Southern Paclfic. To-day he goes up to Blalr and Sloux City, from there to Fre- mont and Lincoln, returning here this evening, and on Saturday morning leavas for San Franclsco, golng by way of Den- ver. He will travel in Mr. Kimball's private car, To-morrow, the general offices d4nd shops of the Union Paclficoom- pavy here will receive Lis personal atten- tion. The general’s trip will necessarially require several weeks time, as stops aro to be made at all the principal stations. Twenty-teven years ago he was in Omahe, and, of, course, expresses much surpriss at the wonderful changes that have been made eince then, MISSIONARY MATTERS.
