M, Hime Says She Was Offered Money to Remain Silent. STILL CLING TO THE MURDER THEORY Attorneys Will Try to Prove saw Mayor Miller Killed— The State Rests Tts Cnse— Court Notes. (3The evidence of the st against Clara Allen was completed day and the defense will now have its in ning. The woman is charged with huving sworn fals the preliminary examina. tion of Dick Berlin and Charles Hayes, who were accused of having 1 the late Mayor Miller of South Omaha, and the testimony introduced by the state has been for the most part a repetition of the evidence at the prelim in the case yester- urdered ¥ ex Immediately upon court yesterday me an order that the bailiffs, the defendant and a deputy should the spot whe Miller was found duri October 4 The the objectior yverrule exce filed but kept at a nination the of the ug, Judge Keysor issue the convening mpanioed by visit was Q tior Quite tollowed the respecta rear, dropping in and viewi inters f Eighth and after ind left the »f the court, Co the Omaha Life ness put on the had and by the Miller at Douglas defense the 55 seen Thirteeuth and streets at | )k in the afternoow of the day when the body was found. He knew Milier and did not think that there was any thing peculiar about his appesrance Lou Scott, the keeper the house of which Clara Allen was an inmate, testified that she knew Mill She had seen him at her house and had ) seen him at his office in South Omaha. Witness testified that dur ing the forenoon of the day on which the body of Miller was found he, in company with two other men, called at her house She did not know the other men, but from their conversation she thought they were gamblers. Witness had never seen’ Berlin or Hayes except in the court room. She was positive that were not the men who were with Miller the day his body was found in the weeds. Mrs. Hime's Sensation. Mrs. Kate Hime startled the Ing that during the afternoon she saw a man looking bank at the exact sp ury by swear- s October 4 over the edge of the where Milier's body was found. This man wore dark pants, coat and hat, a dark mustache and was without rd. She wason her way down Eighth t, and as she passed him he appeared to be out of sorts and w As she passed him, she noticed th had a durk scar upon the right side of his fuce, extending from the ear down to the chin. On_the day of the Berlin and Hayes trial in police court Mrs, Hime testified that a man came to her nouse aud urged her not to go to the court room, Replying, that 1 know flo some good When this indiviaual found that she was foing to the court he pulled s large roll 6t bills and some gold from his pocket and told her that she could have the money if she would leave the city. She refused to accept the money und the man left the house, telling her that it would not be well for her to tell what she knew about the Miller affair. All that the witness knew about this man was that he was tall and slim. He wore n dark brown slouch hat, dark clothes and a beard of about four days growth. Evidence of the Wife, Just before the neon adjournment Mrs. Charles . Milier was called as a_witnsss by the defense. She testified thut Miller was exceedingly handy with his left hand, but a s right. The purpose of the testimony was 10 show that Miller did uot commit suicide. When the body was found the pistol wound was in the loft side of the head, showing that the gun was fired from that side. Following up this_theory the dofense argued that if Mil- (ler had committed suicide he would have held the gun in his right band and that the wound would have been upon the right, in- stead of upon the left, side of the head. When shown the slip of paper on which had been written “P. C. Rellim” found at the pawnbroker's and which it was claimed was the signature of C. P. Miller, writien backwards and by himself, Mrs. Miller denied that it was the hundwriting of her husband. 1t bore none of the characteristics of her husband’s writing and was ot like it in any particular. H. J. Garlick, the engineer at the Deering building,heard the shot which caused Miller's death, but paid no attention to it, shooting in that vicinity being of frequent occurrence. Ofticer Edghill was called to the beat at Eighth and Dodge street on the day follow- ing the finding of Miller's body. He looked the ground over and found tracks leading from Dodge street and toward the spot where Miller was lying. Testd y of an Expert. John C. Thompson of the American did not think that there was a possibility of there having been a case of suicide. He had given the case o great deal of attention. The next morning after the finding of the body he spent several hours in the vicinity of Eighth and Dodge streets making obscrvations and taking measurements. He aw the foot- prints leading down the bank to the spot where Miller's body bad been lying. They seemod o have been made by & man who wore o » shoe. The witness went upon the por B where Clara Allen st00d wher she claimed w have seen the man in the act of fiving the shot that killed Miller, and looked over into the weeds wher the body was found. Fro that point on the porch he could have seen a man if he was standing. In fact, he could have secn down as far as his hips. Thompson's brother, who was doing some detective work upon the case, had sent o hack to Clara Allen at one time and had conveyed her to Douglas strect, where she identified & man as being one of those who were with Miller at the house of Lou Scott on the day of finding of the b Upon beine objected to by the testimony was taken from the ground that it was hearsay to the witness, Thompson ‘who was doing the detective he said: T will go ana tell a as it can do no harm and it may state, this on the having been told by his brother work Got What He Denerved. After being out thirty-six hours the jury in the case of Phi iust Jens und Christ Hausen last night returned a verdict finding for the defendants In t the plaintift was secking to recover the sum of $1,000 damuges. He al leged that o year ugo he was going up North Nineteenth street looking for a person whom be kuew. He stopped at the home of the Huusens to make some inquiries und the door was shut in his face. Then he went around to the back door and went through the same performances, knocking and look- fug in the windows. Starting back to the front door. he was met by the men of the house, who pitched him over a high embank- ment, breaking some ribs and otherwise dis. figuring his person.

Speaking of the law, o well informed bank president said: “The treasurerof the United Soutes appears to be bound by the provisions of the act of 1842, authorizing the issue of gold certificates, always to retain in the treasury for the redemption of these certifi- cates the specific gold coin deposited at the time of their issue. Any failure to do this would be a violation of the statute and tho treasurer has no right to substitute gold bars or bullion for the gold coin deposited and ordered to be retained. It is true that the gold certificates issued under the act of March 3, 1863, could be issued on deposit of cithier gold or bullion and that certificates under this act might be issued to the extent Of 20 per cent in excess of actual deposits, but there are probably none of these cer: tificates now in use. Maurice Muehlman, the ncting assistant treasurer in charge of the subtreagary, said This step on the part of the secrotury of the treasury simply meaus that'he 1s carry- ing out the provisions of the law. It does not mean that the government will receive deposits of gold coin and refuse to pay back in kind, Any one who deposits gold coin here will receive legal tender notes. For these, if leral tenor or roid is demunaed, gold will be paid out. In other words, in' Stead of issuing for gold deposits a certifi- Cate, which is necessarily redeemable in Fold, the treasury will issue legal tender hotes for which gold will always ve paid if demanded. ~The only = difference which the stopping of these certifi- cotes makes is that the Tr department will mnot lssue then for gold as it hus been doing. The secretary is mer anticipating the withdrawal of gold which will probably be made fer ship- ment for next Tuesday's German steamer. What these withdrawals will amount o of course we (on’t know, but they may reduce the treasury zold to the §100.000,000 reserve According 1o today's reportithe free gold in the tre ry amounts to about &3,108,000. This report does not show the withdrawals pstorduy, which amounted 1o $1.230,000 Toauy's statement shows the gross amount i in the treasury t be $213,300,000. tficates issued amount 1o $116.490,000, $6,000,000 being in the treasury There is no reason for uneasiness because of the step takeu by the department. It is the first timo the issues of certificates have been sus pended. because it is the first time the re serve has almost reached the §100,000,000 point, with immediate exports expected Pruder the provisions of the act of 183 the issue was suspended by Secretary Sherman in 1870, The treasury statement March § showed the free gold, or the gold above the 000,000 reserve, o be #5,052,000, which was practically the gold supply left by the last administration. The lowest point after- wards reached was §952,000. From that time the wmount increased until the heavy ship- ments were wmade during the past two weoks.” GOLD »m the re - ¥or Chenper Paving.

Half a dozen theat- ric nterpriscs were in full blast, and a seventh manager opened a new house the magnificence of which far outshone those its competitors. The theat: was to be opened Mohday evening. and that morning, says a writer in Kate Field's Washington, the train from the west brought the great Sioux chief, Sit- ting Bull, with a small party of Indians who were enroute to Washington to in- terview the great father. The new man- | ager secured the attendance of the war- riors for the opening of his house, and the hundreds of ‘‘tenderfeet” who had never yet seen a real Indian in war | paint paid fabulous prices for seats. | Sitting Bull and his warriors were on hand early, gaudily arrayed in feathers, head-Gress and beaded blankets and wampum. They were seated at the end of the center aisle in the space between the orchestra railing and the front row of parquet. The red men preserved their monumental stoicism and through- out the entertainment not a smile wrinkled their fuces. Each one of them sarried a short painted stick, one end of which was split. Into the split was thrust a small piece of lookingglass.

THE BEILES POPGE AND fully, for this is the real underlying issue of the fight thatis now on: Organ- ized capital and organized labor have long been engaged in & bitter struggle, in which neither side is always right or always wrong.

Osganized labor seeks to conquer capital by boycotting its goods or propert Organized capital in re- turn boycotts organized labor by black- listing its members and driving them out of employment. Now the question here is not whether it is right for either party to use the boycott, but whether if itis wrong for’ one it is not equally wrong for the other: whatever the law is, shoultd it not be an equal law and not a one-sided one? If organizations have no right to boyeott corporations, have corpoations right 1o boycott organizations? In other words ate, or are not, the rights of men in these United States as sacred as freight cars and manufactured clothing? Shall it be law in America that the boycott on vhings is illegal and the boycott on men legal? e shortest and easist way for a po- liceman to stop a fight is nodoubt to side with the strongest man and help him knock the weakest man out. This is much easier than to separate them and bring them belore > court. Nev - less the lutter is agreed by commor sent 1o be the better way. This perpet- ual quarrel between capital and labor is no doubt a great nuisance, but we re- spectfully submit that the proper way to settle it is mnot for the state to join with capital in Jjump- | ing on labor, but to bring both par- | ties before the court of public opinion to | near arguments, to balance cla ands judicially to determine how a | just and conclusive settlement of the long controversy may be reached We have that confidence in the fair mindedness of the American paople fully to believe that this is the way the in- dustrial problem will be settled in this country, and we have not the slight question as to the basis of that settle ment.
