Mahoney and Mrs. John J. Mahoney are wholly unfit for the places they now oceupy as superintendent and matron under the ap- pointment” of the board of county Gommis- sioners. So much for tho charges, The charge of cruelty and neglect of the sick was sustained by the evidence of Kate “iken Mary Mohr, Mrs, Gullagher, of Lin- Christina Melgordt’ and Ellen Galla- gher of Omaba. The charge that the defendants had al- lowed the place to become overrun with filth and vermin was sustaieed by the evidence of Mary Mobr, E. A. Hogbes and Wendall P. Joe. The charge of oruelty to infant babes was sustained by the evidence of Oliva Olsen. The charge of cruelty upon the part of the son towards inmates was sustained by the evidence of Max Hoffman. ‘The general charge of the total unfitness of the matron and superintendent for “the positions lha’ hold, was sustained by the evidence of Mary Mohr, Kate Miken, Ellen Gallagher, Mrs. Gallagher, of Lincoln, K, A.

T went to the poor farm in July, 1888, and was therc seven Weeks before I was taken sick. I was preg- nant at the time 1 went out there and did.not know at what time I might be taken sick. I never would have gone out there had I been able to take care of myself. Whatever Mrs. Mahoney asked me to do while I was at tho hospital, I did, I did washing and scrubbing, although I was in a very weak condition.

Ninah Darrali, a little girl who was being held out there so that she might be called into court, and who was under the doctor's care part of the time, attended to me more than any one else did after my confinement, The nurse waited on me sometimnces, but very soldom s she was with Mrs, .Mahoney most of time.

Bessie Gibson assisted in nursing. She was not bived asa nurse, but as a laundress.

Nothing heavy—only scrub- bing loors and such light work as that. Nellie Gollagher, one of the witnesses for tho complaicant, neyer did any work that would injure her, nor had any othior woman, If he thourht women were working too hard he would report it to Mrs. Mahoney and it would be stopped. Nellle Gallagher always received the food he ordered for her. Tk patients and their clothing were cieanad. There was vermin there, but brought in by nts, and every offort was made to get of them. "He thought -the food sound, but upon one occasion a patient complained to nim of the rotiencss of the meat and on another occas- 10n spoiled codfish was served up.

I stayed there a woek and may be a day or two over. was hirod as a nurso to the sick by Commis- sionar George Timmesuabject to.the approval of the superintendent, and Mrs. Mahoney came to see me once or twice in reference to my accepting the position. My work at the poor farm turnod out to be making beds, sweeping, mopping, carrying slops and wait: g on the family genorally, These labors would take up the whole forenoon and the balance of tho time I was working around at different thiugs, There were three rooms to be straightened. . Ilooked after the chil- dren and absolutely Mrs. Mahoney did abso- lutely nothing while I was- at the hospital. I suppose I might have spent a couple of hours altogether with the sick girl upstairs during the time I was there. I don’t romem- ber any sick = inmates there were there. Some of the men were sick, but 1 did not have anything to do with them. Quite a number of the women v ailing, 1 guess, but there was only ono confined to bed. 1 don’t think I was with her as much as her necessities called for; she needed attention a good deal of the time. This woman had been lym%on her bed sfuce the Muy rev- ious. on’t know what became her afterward, for I was there only once n!wr 1 quit the establishment. 1 remember an occasion when a man was brought out there to the poor-house In adray or wagon.

They dragged -the man out of the wagon onto the ground, and then pulled him up the steps into the house, just us you would a ho spoke to Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney, and said that the man was dying. I had had experience, ana felt sure that tho man was dying. But the only responso was that the man was drunk, 1 «hmlh‘ think he was lyiug on the ground fifteen minutes, [ don’t know whether they dissected the man oruot. I started to open thedoor of tho dead-house, where he had beeu placed, but 1t was closod to my face. There were two women about to be con- fined, and they were made to do the cooking, and they were compelied to lift the heavy cooking utensils, These utensils were used 11 a kitchen that had to be used for the prep- aration of large quantities of food, and some of them I was unable to lift myself. Theso utensils the siok girls were compelled to lift up and down until they were ready to drop. I was not in the kitchen often, but I saw Mrs, Mauhoney there oconsionally, I'have lived in Lincoin since last fall. I am a widow and have a little girl nino years 0ld, At present1am keeping house aud go out nursiug occasionally. 1 cannot remem- ber the year I went to the county hospital as nurse, but I do recollect distinctly that it was the day that the Mahoneys took possession out there, The only doctor I saw at the hospital was a young fellow called Ch ap, Christina Melzortt next took the stand and was sworn: I commenced working for Mrs. Maloney at the county poor farm on Feb- ruary 2, 1889, and stayed there four weeks, 1 ‘was second girl and the, first thing in the morning 1 brought out meals to the sick peeple; then I worked in the parlor of the institution; then I cleaned up Mrs. Maloney's room while she went to breakfast and helped around the children. L did whatever the doctor asked me to do in the nursery. Mrs. Maloney used rough language to the sick in- mates when she was mad, calling lhem darned nasty things. She used to gol pretty often. 'Tne day I got there lhan was one woman about to be confined and she was washing windows. She worked about half a week after that and then bad to take to her bed. This women was engaged in the laundry and cleaning .up where the sick woman was, Most of the time I was down with Mrs, Mahoney doing whatever she ordered. Two children were born while I was there. Dr. Taggart was the attending physician. 'Che nurse took ocare of the mothers part of the time and the inmates also assisted. I was there when one of the children was born, I don't know that it was my business to take care of the sick, and I did not have much time to give to the sick room, as I had other work to do.” They Showed Their Gratitude. Drs. D. C. Gibbs, J, 8. Davis aod C. P, Harrington are three You“. men, the first two of whom, while medical students, were Keflninefl to practice upon the inmates of the ospital. They attempted to show their ap- preciation of the ‘Mahoneys' Windness this morning by applying whitewash very thick.

Mary Murph? was the next witness called. She had visited the hospital four times on Sunday. She found the wards clean. The bedding she did not handle, but it looked clean. In each of the apartments she only stopped a minute. She had not talked with any of the inmates. Mrs, E. H. Cochran testified that at one time she lived within a quarter of a mile of the poor farm. Mrs. Cochran was wont to visit Mrs, Mahoney froquently, and swore that everything at the poor house was ‘‘very clean,” the rooms were “‘very warm’ and the food was “very good.”” She never saw any meat upon the table except hash, how- a widow, said that she had dono some sewing for the hospital. She testified, 2140, thay every thing was cloan arid the food was'wholesome. _Some of the ipmates_wore novcontented. She knew nofhing of the condition of the sick.

J. Woodman sald she visited the PoOF farm once last September. She went there from curiosity. She visited all tho wards.

He at- tempted to explain away the cruelty to the idiot Rus by saying that ho tiod the boy up in tho stablo while they wero playing horse. Mr. Shilivan did not eat at the same table as the inmates, but he thought the food was good enough for anybody. Mr, still holds his position at the poor farm, John A, Curry had been promoted from the somewhat degrading position of an’ in- mate to the proud position of watchman of the insano by Mr. Mahoney, He intends to keep_his_ position. According to Mr. Curry the Douglas county hospital {s a thing of boauty and joy forever. He had been in other hospitals—hospitais of the United States army among them — and Douglas county’s hospital is tho superior of all. . 'B. Zipp is au inmate, He cuts up the meat. The meat is good, always fresh. Frod Hickstein is @ butcher and sells meat 10 the poor farm. Very naturally Mr. Hick- atoin navanced the opinion _that the moat furnished is sound. He sald he s city meat inspector and that he maae it a rule to al- ways [nspect his own meat bofore sending it t0 the poor farm. Tn closing the case the attorney for the de- fense said that he didn’t care to place Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney on the stand, but that if the commission of the attorney for the com- plaint cared to ask either of them questions, they woyld answer. The attorney for tho complaint ovjected to this unusual procoed- ing, and did nct beliove that it should carry any woight, The defendants stood charged with certain misdemennors and it remainod for them to show their innocensc. 1t was not for the complaint to call the defendants to the stand. But for some reason besu known to himselt the defendant's attorney refused to have them testify. Both sides rested and tho board adjournod until ¢ o'clock ths morning. e Marion Harland.
