TAKING THE TESTIMONY The Third Day of the Trial of John W. Lauer —The Evidence, “THE CRANBERRY SAUCE CASE,"” Mrs, Emma IDell Adheres to Her Original Statement In the Face of Rigid Cross Examination-- Other Evidence, The Lauer Case. The beginning of the Lauer trial yester- day morning found a rather meager at- tendance in the lobby—probably about two hundred. Only a few ladies werenot 1ceable in th wlience, Luuer sat com- posedly by his coun listening rather sharply to the testimony of the different witnesses, It was exactly ten minutes to 10 o'clock when the judge called the court to order and the jury was brought 1n by the bailif. All the jurymen looked refreshed and ready for the long siege be 1 They had evidently been well tr . Henry Voss, the architeet, was the first witness examined and testilied to having made a dingram of the house. showing the connection of the room in which the tragedy occurred — with the other appartments. He had also drawn a diagrant showing the position of the bed in the room, the spot where Mrs, Lauer had f sfter she was shot. The bed, he testified, wtly eighteen inches in height— from the mattress to the floor, on was the next witness called. d to respond when his name was called, pur_honor,” said States Attorney Simeral, *'I desire an at- tachment for this man.” The judge ordered the issnance of the attachment, Henderson will be brought into court, and unless he can satisfacto- rily explain his absence, will be summa- rily dealt witl THE FATAT B o Dr. George . Ayres testitied to having been lmllm‘ to make an autopsy on the body of Mrs. Lauer, *'I found,” he said, “a bullet hole on the right side ot her nose, showing where the shot had taken effect. On the back of the head, and to the side of the ear I found a lump, show- ing where the bullet had lodged.” ‘Did you find any bruises on Mrs. Lauer’s body?'! “Yes, the day after her death, 1 covered a bruise about the si cents piece on her elbow, and a scratch on the thumb about half an inch long. It looked as if it might have been made by a sharp instrument, such as o or pin.” *‘Describe the course of the bull “It passed through the nasal through tne base of the skull, y f through the base of the larger brain and bursting the bone on the ovtside.” At the request of Mr. Thurston, Dr. Ayres located on the distinguished head counsel the point of entrance and exit of the bullet, ‘“If Mrs, Lauer had been standing un when she was shot,”’ the witness said in answering a question of the lawyer, “the pistol must have been held by a” person in a position ause the course must have been upward. atis, if she werestanding erect, her head not being thrown back.” q ““Were there any powder marks on her ace?”’ one that I could discover.” f a person were suddenly shot as she was, standing up 1n_an erect position, how would the body fall?” “Probably face forward, That is if the conter of gravity caused the body to sway forward. ‘The bruise might have been caused by her falling as she did.'- THE VICTIM'S MOTHER, Mrs. Goetschius, the mother of Sallie Lauer, was called next. She was attired i vy mourning, which was put on at the time of her daughter’s tragic death. When the mother approached the wit- nd she grew agitated. As she seat, her emotion became un- controllable and she relapsed into a fit of weeping. Sherecited the circumstances of Lauer’s coming to the house to board and of his subsequent marriage, “Did Lauer have y trouble with Sal- lie be(on‘) her marriage?” vas 1ty ‘‘Some time before the marriage he ac- cused her of bad things. 1 called him out m the kitchen and said to him: ‘Do you think for a moment that she isn't a virtuous woman? He replied, ‘No." ‘Then 1 said to him, ‘Why do you accuse her of such things? He hung his head and could not look me in the face. He ACTED LIKE ANY SNEAK would do.’ *‘What else did you say to him?"* “1 told him this: Lauer, I would rather close the coffin lid over my daughter’s dead body than pin the bridal veil over her face, if she were to be mar- ried to you.” The mother then related what she knew of the subsequent separation of Mr. and Mrs. Luuer, She called on her daughter after the separation and found her sick in Mr. Lauer’s house, She was crying. Two weeks after, she went back to live with her husband.” “Did you have any conversation with Lauver about the affairy” ‘“‘Yes. [ read the account in the BEE of the way he had treated Sallie, and [ as perfectly astonished. I couldn’t be- lieve that any man would treat his wife that way. Ireproved Lauer and said to him, ‘Youw'll have that girl DEAD IN HER GRAVE before two years have past.’ " Mrs. Goetschius then related the de- tails of the oceasion on which Luwuer claimed to have shot at a burgiar once more. Lauer explained the ahuu\infi to herin a vorr glib manner, but Mrs Lauer was silent and sadly reticent, She ave no account of the atfmir whatever, ‘She looked so sad,”” said the witness, that I remarked to her, ‘Sallie, what makes you look so bad.’ 'Sho said noth- ing, but John spoke up and said hastily, ‘She hasn't got over the fright of the burglar yet." Lauer remarked that he had shot too hign and would shoot lower next time. I remarked to him that I thought it was strange that he was troubled with urglars. 80 much more than his neighbors,” In rugly 0 a estion of General Cowin's Mrs. Goetschius said that when she spoke to Lauer he did not attempt to deny the truth of the articles in the BEE. He simply said ho would try to do better. On ecross-examination by Judge fhurs- ton, Mrs, Goetschius certitied to the testi- mony which she had given at the coro- ner's inquest. In this testimony she swore that Mrs, Laucr had told her the day before her death that John was lov- ing and dutiful; that she had forgiven him and that their relations were then of the most pleasant character. Another feature of Mrs. Goetschius testimony was the trouble that had oc- curred botween Laver and his wife, be- cause when the latter was visiting her mother, a gentleman had helped her on with her cloak. Mrs. G. testified to the outburst of jealousy which Laner had given way to, The family lph)'llckm. Dr. V. H, Coffman was placed on the stand. He had been called in to attend Mrs. Lauer when she was 1ying sick at her uncle's house, nfter the separating from her husband, I found her suffering con- siderable mental and some bodily pain, Bhe wus much excited he tostitied." *Did you call on Mrs, Lauer againt” “Yes, the noxt day.” “What did she say ¥’ ur honor,” interposed Judge Thurs- ton, *'I ebject to this. as immaterial, ir- relevant and hearsay evidence.” States Attornoy Simerel defended the | question_he had put, but Judge Neville overruled it. The prosecution was obliged to take another tack. In raply to further questions, the doe- tor testilied: “Before her marringe I thought she was one of the healthiest young women 1 ever saw;after mar- riage <he was greatly reduced in flesh and subject to nervous troubles,” *'Did Lauer call on you after the sepa- ration b ¢ he came to me and wanted to know he could call on his wife. I told him that I thought he ought NOT TO GO NEAR HER, “‘Lauer admitted to me that he had an uncontrollable temper, and that his ill- treatnent of his wife all arose from that. He was sorry immediately afterward for what he had done.” “Did you tell Mr, said about a reconei “Idid.” “What = “She told me that she would rather go back and live with him even if she knew HE WOULD KILL HER than to bear the difgrace of the separa- tion, “What did Lauer say#" { nothing." “He ious occasions exhibited a violent temper.

Lauer was bending over her, calling to lier and speaking of her. I found her head lying in a pool of f clotted blood, the tresses of her hair being smeared badly. I took cloths and water and washed them ofl.” “How was she lying? “'On_her back, with her face turned to one side. One foot was drawn up a trifle, I think. The body was covered, [ ve, with a sheet, and her head was resting on her clothes, which had fallen from the chair to the floor.”” Here the court took a recess for din- ner. IN THE AFTERNOON. Coroner Drexel resumed the stand yes- terday afternoon. He testified that when he went in the room the morning of the tragedy he found Lauer kneeling over his' w fe's body. “Lauer made a state- ment 0 me about the \vn{ the affuir oc- curred,” he testified, *‘explaining that he mistook his wife for'a burglar, ~ He smd that he had once before shot at a burglar during the night and showed me where the bullet had lodged. He told me that he could not have counted six from the time he woke up to the time he fired the shot.” Mr. Drexel then detailed the manner in which he washed off the face and head of the dead body. *“The corpse,” he said, ‘‘was warm when I got there, and life could not have been extinet very long.” MRS. BELL. Mrs, Bell, the washerwoman about testimony so much has been said, placed on the stand, “On Monday,"’ she said, “1 went up to Lauer’s house to wash. Mrs. Lauer that oked some cranberry sauce for band. At noon he came home and walked into the dining room. ~ While I was in the kitchen heard Lauer say ‘what kind of a mess is that von haye cooked for a man. She said ‘mydear, the cran- berries came too late to be cooked well. Then I heard her scream, and she came running out into the kitchen with her face all covered with cranberry sauce. She said John had TIROWN THE DISH AT HER. I washed off her face and then went home. ‘That's all I know about it.’ “Was the cranberry sauce hot?” “Yes, it must have been. 1t did not have time to cool.” Mrs. Bell was thea taken hold of by Judge Savage, who subjected her to a rigid cross-examination. n reply to his questions Mrs, Bell said at she was married to her husband some years ago in the Bluffs, and that he had died afterwards. She related how she had worked atdifferent places, after her husband’s death, both in this city and Council Blufts, Mrs. Bell was then subjected to some uestioning about a hounse she kept on Twelfth street—a boarding house, she called it. “What kind of boarders did you keep?? ‘‘Ladies.” “Married or single?'’ don’t know—I never asked them.” “‘Don’t you know that they were in the habit of réceiving gentlemen callers?'® I don’t know. 1 did not inquire.” ‘Didn’t you think that those women were prostitutes?’’ Before Mrs, Bell had time to answer the question States Attorney Simeral jumped to his feet and shouted *'I object to that question. ~ This thing is being car- ried too far, “Iclaim that I have a rightto show that this woman was keeping a house of prostitution,” retorted Mr. Suvage. Judge Neville, however, overruled this question and’ the examination pro- ceeded. SHE STOOD THE ORDEAL. Mrs. Bell was pretty closely questioned on this branch of the subject, but pro- fessed to have been unaware of the fact her *‘lady boarders” were women of bad charncter. She furthermore denied that she had ever paid n fine for keeping a house of ill fame. Of course the defense opened up thisline of attack to prove that Mrs, Bell was a woman of bad repute and thus unreliable. She was closely questioned about the number of places at which she had washed, and cited a long list of them. n't it true,” asked Judge Savage, “that you went out washing as a sort of Kn-lcnsc—«to get out of paying a fine as a ecper of a house of prostitution?" *No, sir,” (emphatically). “What did you go out washing for?" *“To get money to pay off a debt 1 owed Dewey & Stone for furniture.” *'Didn’t you testify before that you had bought furniture from Bernstein " *No," retorted the witness sharply, *‘1 wouldn't have the name of buying any- thin; (rofl !llml ollee\vl" d “How did you happen to getto do washing at Mr. Lauer’'s?” L *‘1 went and asked for it.” “Did you ask to do washing m any otl.l‘ur hP_usu in that neighborhood " “How did you happen to pick out Lauer’s house?” “Idon’t know.” The woman was then pretty severely questioned about the interior of Lauer’s house, which she was asked to describe, She was very chary about answering the questions put to her and did not commit herself to “any noticeable mistakes, Of course the defense tried to thus break down her tnsumonx by leading her into discrepancies, on the supposition that she had never been in Lauer's house and had never seen his wife. Mrs. Bell bore up well under the ordeal and made no sori- ous blunders. Some of her answers were amusing and rather nettled Judge Sav- e, who does not appreciate humor in a witness. He was questioning her about the meal which Mrs. Lauer had prepared the day that her husbana threw the cran- berry = sauce _at Mrs, Bell had remarked that Mrs. Lauer had put every- anfi on the table except the rice. “‘He asked me to bring that in,” re- marked the witness, ‘‘And you brought it int" asked Judge Suvage., hat was the one in?"" “It was in a dish.” A low vuu‘h Tan lhr&ngh the court room, and even John Lauer smiled grimly. Judge Savage looked cross and remarked: ‘‘When the audience gets through langhing, I'll go on.”’ D THE CHARGE. Cross examined by Thurston—‘‘Do you know a woman named Mrs, Mary Quin- lan and a woman named Delia Blessing- ton?"” “State whether you did not say, on or about March 26, after the trial, to Mrs. Quinlan in the presence of Delin Blesss- ington, in substance, as follows: ‘I got a (‘lollnr _t!m other day for swearing 0, sir,” emphatically responded the witness, *“You can't find no person that will swear to such a thing.” “Did you not say,” continued Judge Thurston, “at or” about the same time and place, that you had got many a dol- lar for swearing falsely about John Lauer, and you wished you had never done it?" *No, I never said anything of the sor Mus. Bell was then asked if she did not, to a certain Mr. and Mrs. Williams, say that she had done something wrong —that she had testified to something she knew nothing about. She replied: “I never did.” same time and place did you not say further in substance and eflect that you had sworn to a lie, that you had never seen auer until you had met him at the t “No, sir; I didn't.”” ‘Did you not further say at the same time and place in substunce and eftect @ aid to do ity o, sir; [ didn't.” “Did not Mrs, Williams ask you in sub- stunce and effect how you could do a thing like tha “She never did.”” “And did you not ans stance that you had done for it?” r her in sub- , but was sorry hat you never saw Lauer before the ial and never knew his wife and neyer washed for him, and if you were going out that eight to look for his house you would lloli’now which way to go, and if you had to find it or sleep out of doors You would have to sleep out of doors?” “N r; there was no such talk beeause Mrs. Williams and [ were not speaking together at all.” g “After you came back from the exami- nation of Lauer in the police court did you not at the house of Mrs. Butler, in the alley back of where you lived ‘and Iate in the afternoon st to Mr. and Mrs. Butler in substance and effcet that vou did not know anything about Lauer?" “I never did beeause I was never in the house.” “Did you not further say that you were sorry you had anything to do with it and would not have known him had he come into the door?”’ “I never did. because T was not in the hot i “Did you not the next morning say to the same parties at their house that you had never scen Mr. Luuer; that you would not have known him if he had come in the door, that you would not have known whether it was he or not and that you had got no money only that a person had promised you that if you would swear to that _I'ou would n s ter for anything, and that he would pay you good, and that you were sorry that you h:\d anything to say aboutitatall; that you were a poor widow woman and by to take care of, and that was the reason yon did it?" : **No sir, I did not; because I didn’t speak to them at all; there never was any such a talk and they never asked me.” John G. Lee, the father-in-law of John A. McShane, who lived next to the house occupied by John Lauer, testitied to hav- ing been called early that morning by Miss Minerva Lauer, who wanted him to come to their house atonce. There were no especially new points in his testi- mony. 5 He told how he had put on his clothes and taking his boots in hi; nd, rushed over to the Lauer house. met John Lauer in the hall,”” he sad, “and he was moaning and crying. I asked him, ‘Is she dead?’ I don’tremember whether he told me he had shot her by mistuke or not. [ think he did.” ““Was there any light in the room when you got there?”’ it “Yes, I could see Miss Lauer’s face plainly.” “Where did the light come from?’ “[ can’t say. I was too much ey at thetime to notice.” “How was the body lying?"” 2 “Flat on the back, with the right limb drawn up a little. I pressed it down, so it was perfectly flat like the other. I felt of the pit of the stomach, but found no pulsation. The body was still warm.” What was Lauer doing?” § “Part of the time he was bending ov the body of his wife, moaning and cry- ing, ‘Oh, Lord! *Oh, Sallie!’" and every- thmF like that. He was very much ex- cited. “‘What became of the pistol?” “Someone suggested that Lauer might commit suicide with1t. It was on a table near the bed and ave it to Matt Gahlon, McShane’s hired man, and told him to put it away.” ey Cross-examined, Mr. Lee testified that he was very much excited at the time and did not retain a very distinct recol- lection of the details of the event, Mr. Matt Gahlon, McShane’s hired man, testified to lmvingi been called into Lauer's house by Miss Minerva early on the morning of the shoonufz. Mr. Lee ave Him the revolver and told him to put t away, as LAUER MIGHT COMMIT SUICIDE with it. Lauer had remarked to him that he did not see how Mrs. Lauer got up in the night without awakening him. She had never done 1t before. When witness went into the sitting room he found con- siderable light reflected from the bed- room stove, though the fire scemed to have dulled down somewhat. This closed the evidence for the day and the judge sent the jury back to its room, ited OWDER Absolutely Pure.
