Among those who ecame were Rev. W. Robey, of Malvern, president; Rev. Wm. E. Randail, secretary; Judge S, E. Dow, Dow City; W. W. Morton, of Mo- dale; J. P. Filbert, of this ¢f and Rev. Arthur Stott, of Denmark. They gathered at the Lttle chapel of the Home at 10 o'clock. 1t was decided to let the financial condition of the mstitution pass over for the present. The chief objeet stated for the meeting was the considera- tion of charges made. The sccretary suggested that in ac- cordance with the d of many citi- zens the investigation should be held in some other y than the Home. Rev. Dr. Cooley tendered the use of a build- ing owned by D. C. Bloomer, and lately ceupicd by Cocke & Morgan. 118 suggestion met with a roar from Mr. Lemen. He stated his objections to be that the women and others from the ould not be asked to go along the strects, and be exposed to the pop- If the investigation was to :d on at any place outside of the Home they should not appear and the board could take the Home, and tak care of the eniidren. He would have nothing to do with it. The discussion was ke but finally on u vo meet 2t Cocke § N hold tne nyes public could hear for themselves. Mr. Filbert voted agaimst thi prasident, Mr, Robey, of course, did not vote, and Judge Dow deelined to vote either way. ‘There being thi votes for the change and one against it, it was de p some time, ided to W there, where the opening of the afternoon ses- dr. Gilbert was called upon to rive his statements. 1t was a repetition of Hiat published in tho , only giving more details. He described the low con- dition of the grounds, wet and with no grass plot. Water stood in the cellar, offensive odors permeated the whole 0.

He had been informed that the manager did not have prayers in his own family. He ‘also charged the manager with d faith. Mr. Lemen had cmployed daughter as a clerk in the oftic then made of her a kitchen g down her health. There was of smtable employment for the children. “The givls are not taught the use of the needle or the sewing machine, or taught to do housework. He also complained of the financial arrangements. The receipts were given, but not the exvenditures, Members of the board objected to the introduction of any mere opinions, and ted to hear facts simply. e witness then proceeded to testify as to the children being covered with ver- min. [he food was l:n:kin‘l;‘ in quantity, quality and variety. He knew nothing about ¢l isement. Miss k ci Suennin was called, and Mr. Lemen entered a protest against her stifying at all, as he couid produce evi: nce to impeach her. He tried to preju- dice this lady’s statement by sundry short addresses, evidently to bias the publie as well as the trustees, Rev. Mr. Reichenbach sprang to_ his f(}c{ and vouched for the character of the girl Selections were read from Mr, Lemen’s p:\Xer vouching for her also. fter some further attempts on the part of Mr. Lemen to explain and break down her testimony, not content to wait the time when he should be called on to testify, the board seemed disposed to let Mr. Lémen have his own way, and the usual rules of hearing evidence were ut- terly disregarded. The witness rehearsed the same facts as she has already made public in the BEE, but more in detail. She had been in the Home for weeks. Children would come crying to her for bread, and when she gave it she was rebuked by the man- ager. Milk was skimmed and the eream retained for the manager’s table. Butter was seldom seen—perhaps once a week— bread being the main food. She had ex- amined some of the children and found them marked with black and blue marks, where they had been punished, he found five "of these thus marked. The children told her that “Papa’ Lemen punished them with a whip made of knot- ted shoestrings and also o leather strap. She named these children and de seribed the way the business looked. The children were taken te “*Papa’’ Lem- en’s room to be punished, so she did not see them punished. She explained how she went in disguise to the house of Mr. Nichols to _see the runaway %'irlI Belle Waltors. She disguised herself so that those in the Home, as they saw her go by, would not recognize her and tell Mr., {fi' ; that she had gone to see Belle alt s, Rev. Dr, Cooley was called to the stand by Mr. Lemen, and questioned by him. l{v admitted that he had never taken up a the Home, and said he could not do so con- scientiously. He made the use of the oceasion to attempt to browbeat Rev, Dr. Cooley. Objections were raised, and President Robey ruled the matter out of order, Mr. Lemen then wanted to put Mrs. Dakan on the stand, and became quite anxious to stop the evid in support of the charges and getin some R T evidence. Mr. Lemen got quite excited, and showed anything but ‘such a sy asmight be expected from & Christian gentleman, Miss Mary Suennin, sister of a former witness, then made her statement. She had worked at the Home. She found that the children had not proper food. She corroborated the statement about the children being punished so as to leave black and blue ma “‘Pupn” Lemen often punished children by sitting them down on the tloor, or standing them up in acorner fora half day sometimes. Strawberries sent to the children were taken to the ma ufur's home and eaten there, and the children got none. Miss Carrie Wallgren, who spent one day lust winter at x‘im home and then left, said she could not live on what the children got. and so quit work there. Six or seven children slept in one bed. The snow blew in the windows. ‘The children complained of hunger. Pen children slept on the floor. The children said that “Papa’’ Lemen whipped them. Dr. A. J. Cook, wha was attending vhysician at the Home' for two years .‘n‘l a half, made & statemet, suchas he h already made in the Beg, piving details corroborating the charges of poor and i suflicient food, of K of cleanliness and of uru\vdlnfi of many into one be The inmates told their grievances to him collection for By the arrange " Tem&:lgwh has moved his cigar | gnd -he found that his sanitary orders to ments made with My, Lewen the doctor was to receive his fees in all o: rus where inmates were able to pay. He attended a young woman who had_loved teo well, and who was delivered of a child in the Home. ‘Ihe doctor had been informed that the man who had got her into this trouble was made to pay, by Mr. Lemen, about £300. Part of this was for the physician's fees, and yet Dr. Cook never got a cent, and the girl only got £60, the rest going tor carc and treat- ment, and the doctor getting nothing. He had been slow to believe that Mr. Lemen was dishonest Mr. Filbert, one of the trustees, put in his oarand said the girl had been given an order for $i5, and had got it at his, Filbert's, store 'he doctor r od his experiences in ting other charitable institutions, and had found many poor houses better than the Home. Mr. Stott, one of the trustees, stated that the cash cipts of the Home for six months wuas about one thousana dol Cookestimated the expense of running such an institution properly as about five thousand dollars Rev. Mr. Reichenbach, pastor of the Seandinuyian Baptist chureh, was ealled upon. He had scen the table at the Home only twice. He did not know what the children were eating, but had since learned that it was a sort of gravy, and black bread His wife had seen the children eating s from her slop pail at_the rear of they were so hungry. He lived near the Home, and the children often eame there and were given bread and butter, they were so hungr, Somo of these children came to his hou: hungry right after dinner, Some of these children had evidently been threatened and forbidden to come to Mr. Reichen- bach's house, for they after ti run off when spoken to. When he read in the BEg about a boy |winr:puuislwd by being obliged to stand in the hog pen in_the hot sun, his little boy spoke up and said it was so, he had seen the boy in a hog pen. Rev. Mr. Reichenbach was asked it he had not1n the opera house, on May 2, spoken approvingly of the Home, He admitted that he hiad. When asked why he changed his mind, he said he had been led to doubt (hu_ racity of Mr. Leien; ARG this boing sinnen, 16 S48 incidents appeared to him in a new light. Mr. Lemen insisted on having the matter of v ty opencd up. Mr. Reichenbach explained the details of the r 1t of the ministers when his church w dedi- cated. Mr. Lemen had written ment for the Herald concern s claiming that these ministers v en- dorsed ~ the Home. Mr. Reichenbach pointed out what he claimed were two lies in this statement. This and the state- ments made by others made his doubts ripen into a conviction that a man who would lie was not the p ln-r person to take charge of others’ children. Rev. Mr. Lemen again burst intoa nervous spell, and in er xamining the witne ed a storm, and so far forgot himself to flatly contradict the wit- ness. Mr. Filbert, who is an open en- thusiast in regard to Mr. Lemen, forgot that he w of the “unbiased” judges and movi at 50 as to have a whis- pered consultation with Mr. Lemen. K ntie, corrob- ol s statement that the article pu in the Herald by Mr. Lemen misrey nted the visit- ing Danish ministers, and contained two falsehoods. Rev. Mr. Gilbert corroborated the state- ment of Rev. Mr. Niclsen The news per article as written by Mr. Lemen, said that all the visiting ministers pledged themselves to supportthe Home, and that only one thus )Ivnl"ud himself. Mr. F. M. Nichols, who lived near the Home, related concerning Belle Walters, the girl who ran away from the home,and sought sheltor in _his house. The girl told’how she had been beaten by Mr. Le- men and abused. He also explained how Mr. Lemen had come into his house, dur- ing his absence, grabbed the girl and drageed her back to the Home. Also that Mr. Filbert had been at the house the day before, with a policeman, to get the girl. The girl did not wantto go back to the home,and Mr. Nichols would not then let them take her without the necessary papers, so long as the girl did not want to go. K\‘irs. Johnson took the stand and made a statement corroborating the story of Belle Walters’ abuse. Belle was left at her house ashort time, and Belle said she was fed like a dog and treated like a dog and did not want to go back, and cried and begged not to be taken back, She was in real fear,and could not have acted thus. The witness had been friendly to the Home, Murs. Tibbits testified to about the same facts in regard to Belle Walters. She had also seen the marks on the girl's arms. Mrs. Nicholls corroborated her hus- band’s story of the treatment of the girl. She had seen the marks on the girl’s arms, showing where Mr. Lemen had clutchec and shaken her, leaving the marks of his finger-nails. The girl resisted when Mr. Lemen took her back. The girl had told her that unless protected she could not tell the truth, and did not dare tell the truth when Mr. Lemen was around, for he would wlll\?J her, ir. Wm. M. McCreary testified to see- ing Mr. Leman snatch the girl and drag her back to the Home. A ‘T'he little girl was brought in by Mr, Lemen to testify. Mr. Gilbert and others protested against this, unless the girl could ke first assured that she was pro- tected, The girl was assured formally by the sccretary of the board that she would be protected. But she was evi- dently terrorized by the presence of “Papa” Lemen. She said she went over to Mr. Nichols' to play, and they wonld not let her come back to the Home. She went back to the Home The poor little thing sobbe and when questioned by Mr. Randall finully admitted that she had been whipped by Mr. Lemen. Then she said Mr, Lemen had been kind to her. She finally said she did not want to stay at the Home because she did not like to dress the babies. ‘There was great difficulty in getting the little girl to answer, and the audience was intensely excited, all standing on their feet ljstening engerly. She finally blubbered out that she had been treated like a dog at the Home. *'I went back to the hmuu because Mr, Lemen said he would take her home to her mother, The work was too hard for me, dressing the babies. I got the bruises on ‘my arm this way. One of the babies fell out of bed, and'I said I didn't care, Then Papn Lemen heard this, and he grabbed me, and I fell against the door, and that way 1 got my arm bruised. Miss Suennin told us if we got a chanee, to run away. She told us to go away i we got & whipping. She examined some of the girls and found the marks, and then she told us girls. 1 told Mrs John- son that I was afraid to go back to the Home for fear of being punished.

Miss Sueuning told me to tell the truth.” Mr. Lemen had arranged so as to send the girl back to Mondamin with her wother last mght, therefore full and free exumination of this girl could not be had, willingls. and her mother was not put on the stand, a significant fact in view of l\lr,'Lemc_u"s boast of what the motherand child would testify to in hisfavor, z The investigation was, adjourned then until evening. There was much excite- ment when flr. Lemen attempted to take the little girl with him again. A crowd gathered about and protests were en- tered, and finally the child was taken in charge by Rev. Mr. Robey and Rev. Mr. Randall The in igation thus far developes the tact that some of re strongly prejudiced in Mr. Le: avor.

Only about fifty people were in attend ance morning in the court room to listen to the case of Arch Cofi* in, Who is on trial tor manslaughter for shooting J. K. Mayne in Avoka. J. B, Blake of Avoca, who was on the stand on Tuesday, was cross-examined yesterday morning and again explained what he saw before and after the shoot- ing. M. Barnes of Avoca testified that he was standing in front of hig store next door to the restaurant when the shooting took place? He explained m detail the position of counters and doors, in the restaurant: could not repeat any of the words that were exchanged be- tween Mayne and Coffman; looked through the window and saw Mayne and Coffman; saw Mayne trying to strike Coffman; Coffman retreated and Mayne followed lnm up until Coffman tripped and fell when Mayne stepped back a little, walking backwards. I then left, thinking it the end of the fight, and had only taken a few steps when I heard « shot; stepped to the door; saw Coffman putting something into his pocket; Mayne was lying on the floor; I was in front of the door, and when Comman oame S2f [ stepped one side to allow him o get out; Mayne was lying on the floor and I could not say if he was then dead or ahve; got a doctor; wound was in front of the Jeft ear; Ithink he was dead when I returned from gettingadoctor; Coftman said after the shooting: ‘I allow no — — — — — ——to bluck my eye.'" AT THE AFTERNOON SESSION. James T, Laughlin, now of Omzuha but formerly of Avocu, Ia., testified he was in the store next door to the one 1n which the shooting took place that evening. He testitied that the q ng attracted his attention and he stepped to the window and looked into the restay aw Coff- man striking at some one; he used both hands; Coffman_fell down; he got up, drew a revolver from his right hip pocket and took aim at some parson I could not sce and fired; heard a fall;’atterward saw a man lying on floor. On cross-examination Witness stated that on coming out Coffman’s face was bleeding badly, but ‘didn’t remember that he said atthe prelininary examina- tion that his face was “'bruised some- what,” b LeGrand Ledwich of Omaha, a nephew ot ex-Mayor Ledwich of Avoca, testiged he knew Coffman six years; Coffman lived about two blocks from T'ryon’s res- taurant; knew Mayne aboutthree monthe. He was a laborer, and heis attending a business college in Omaha; w: Tryon’s about 7 o'clock onithe evening of the shooting; saw Cofltaan.go into restau- rant at a rathor easy gait. I was stand- ing next door to restatrant as he passed; was in hie shirt sleeves} hands at hi de. I heard scufiling and went and looked into screen door, and saw Coffman get- 1iny uzufl'o( the floor. Didn't sec him full. Coffman got up, put his righc hand in his right hip pocket; Mayne was stand- ing aguinst the south counter then, a dis- tance of five to seven feet from Coffman; saw next the handle of the revolver in Coffman’s hip pocket and he then pulled it and pointed it at . The ball struck him on the left cheek—it killed him. Atthe time Coffman was taking out his revolver Mayne was standing still. (i was stand- ing about four feet immediately behind Coffmah when he shot. Heard Mayne “Now, Arch, [ want vou to let me be,” direotly atter Coftman got up. Coffman answered, “I don’t allow anv man to strike me;'’ and about a minute after he shot, Dr. F. A. Xanten testified as to the con- diton of of the remains of J. K. Mayne— The result such a wound would be death; saw Coffman at his house that night; his rght check, eve, nose and ear, and the ]el‘f side of his was con- tused; Coffman said to witness that ‘*he would not allow any s— of 8 b— to black his eyes and live,” Counsel “for Coffman objected and moved to strike out; overruled.
