IS BEERS OF UNSOUND MIND? The Answer to This Question to De- cide His Fato. COMPLAINTS OF DISCRIMINATION Dad Fellows Celebrate Their Third Anniversary—Another Victim of the Asylum Accident Finds e« lief in Death. 1020 P Stnent, Feb, 7 brated Beers case As been Livcorx Braeav_or Trn Oxama Baw, % Laxcouy in the ce noon The tostim plosed to-day stated, the defense set up ity, and the fight has been f line. It has Dbeen spicy, vi pointed, the state doing its leve et and the defense to save the the gallows. Hecrs has been s @ifferent thus far in the trial, and if assigned 8 part to play in the drama, he has played it well. The state is fully conversant with the story of the crime, It 1s as familiar to the readers of the press as though it were com mitted yesterday. There is therefore ason for repetition, Louis Meyer testifled to-day that the pris. oner had told him at some time during the past that he onca fell upon a stons and re cewved {njurics that affected him peculiarl since. Prisoner’s actions at times since con- need him that he had told him the truth T. W- Lansing testified that Beers had fre quently told him since the tragedy that he didn’t carc to live; that his sweetheart was dead, and that death would unite them in the better world, Policeman Ireland testified that the pris oner had frequently asked him for a knife with which to kill himself; that his actions had been strange on many occasions, and that Le belioved that Beers was not mentally sound, judging trom his actions at divers timos during the past. Many other fragments of test class were introduced during the trial. Drs. Blackley and Simmons wore_ called in re buttal, = They tostified that they were well acquainted with Heers, but that they had never scen any indications of insanity:™ that they belicved him to be mentally sound County Attorney Stearns addressed tho jury on the part of the state just arter din ner, and at this hour he is in the midst of his argliment, J. B. Strode and T W, Lansing will foilow in the order named, and the de fonsc will ugain bo give about has ight upon this yrous and best 1o con from in- ming ony of this 1 to A Jury; guilty or 1ot guilty again Langs in the balitce. Judge Ficld was on the beneh in the equity court room. He was grected this morniu with a complaint from the members of the bar. It scems that the facilities and conven- iences of the room that has been occupied are inadequate to the needs, ana the complaint 8ot up the fact in very plain terms. There are 200 cases on the civil docket, and a 4x4 room certainly was a little small to accom- modate the atforneys necessarily interested. Billingsley, Webstér and Magoon were ap pointed a committee to wait on the county commissioners to see wuat could be dove. This resulted in tho transfer of the court room to the sheriffs office, Melick kicks, and asserts that he is_now crowded out. So it goes, but the fact that this world is full of troublc and annoyance is again veritied. Jorry Harrington is again inabad way. Ho came into court this morning and stated that Mary Breunen was causing him more trouble; that she had again disregarded the order of the court, came to his house and vowed vengeanc ited her takon into custody. Mary is after Jerry, and it scems that she won't be contented unless her name is changed to Harrmgton. This chestnut is a familiar one in court civeles. It is understood that the court has ordered Mary to be taken into custody. KOMEWIAT LIKE DISCRIMINATION. H. M. Brouson, of Albion, states that he is engaged in the business of selling agricul- tural implements; that the Union Pacific railrond company is & corporation organized under and by virtue of the laws of the United States of Auerica, aud owns and operates a line of railroad within this state; that the railroad connects Humphreys, Genoa,ISt. 12d- wards and St. Paul with Omaha; that the distanco from Omaha to Albion is 134 mile to Genon, 112 miles; St. Edwards, 125 mile Huwohreys, 117 miles, and St. Paul, 175 miles; that the rates charged for the trans- portation of goods of the first ciass by the classification in use from Omaha to Albion are unreasonable, unjust and too high; that the respondent discriminates against Albion by charging morc for the transportation of goods, wares and merchandise, shipped under what aro known as first class rates by quoting rates and fixing rates on the class at lower figures, to places situated at a greater dis- tance from Omaha than Albion is from said «place. "to illustrate the unreasonableness of the rates charged the following comparative table is submitted: To Genoa, 112 miles, 47 cents per 100 pounds ‘To Humphreys, 117 miles, 50 cents per 100 pounds. To S pounds. To Albion, pounds. To St. Paul, 175 wmiles, 55 pounds ‘Wherefore, recites the complainant, the honorable board of vransportation is asked to sit to investigate the allegations, and furnish such adjustment as equity and jus- tice may demand.
