| e LINCOLY CITIZENS PROTEST | Oonsolidated Street Railway Oompany Likely to Have Trouble. INTERESTS NOT PROTECTED SUBUREAN At Must Show Canse Why It Shomid Not Be Made to Repince & Line that Was Abandoned and Destroyed. D Liveors, Oet. [Special to Tur Bee. | The Lincoln Street Railway company has been requested to appear in the supreme court and show cause why it should not be made to replaco the portion of its line pur- ©hased by [, W. Little in trust for the com- pany and afterward abandoned. The case ©omes up in the shape of an application for A writ of mandamus, and is eotitled the Suate of Nobraska, ex rel John J. Gilllan and Aldridge Kitchen, relators, against the Homo Street Railway company, the Lincoln Btreet Railway company and F. W, Little, rospondents, ‘I'he lino in question was built in 1890 and ‘was kvown as the Capital Heights Stroet railway. It was consolidated with the City Eleotric Street railway and was operated by the comp: owning the latter, In 1802 the City Electric Strect Railway company was reorgunized under the name of the Home Street vay company. ater I w. sident of the Lincoln Street iy, purchased the Home Etrect rallway, paving £95,000 for it. When the road was' originally built the property owners along the line paid larye sums of money to aid it, Gillilun and Kitchen pay- ing $1,400. They ailege thut thosale of the line to lattle "was ouly a schems to consolidate the street railway lines under one . management, and that the sale was really made to the Lincoln Btreet Railway company for the purpose of stifling competition. Six weeks after the Home street line was purchased by Little it was abandoned and later the work of tear- ing up the tracks commenced. Now there 18 notking left of the line save that portion that runs on Randotph street. The relators ‘want it ordered that the line shall be replacea and operated as was intended and agreed upon when they assisted the original compauy to build it. ‘I'hey claim that the abandonment of the line has worked them fujury. which can only be remedied by re- placing the line, Since the Lincoln Street Railway company come into possession of all the street y lines m the city it has abandoned al of them and in several ca the track. The outcome of thi: watched with a great deal of interest, and if the railway compa is aefea! it will be confronted with a number of similar cases. In the Lauver Case.

EXPLANATIONS VERY PLAUSISLY MADE Sasplelons Clrcumstances Surroanding the Prisoner's Story of the Tragedy Re- poated In an Indifferent Manner— Opening of the Arguments. Fremoxt, Oct. 17,—[Spectal to Tre Bee. |— The court house was crowded when court opened this morning, as it was expected that the cross-examination of Charles Carloton would be searching and thorough. The gen- eral sentiment was that his story as told yesterday would not bear close investiga- tion, and there was much curiosity as to how he would stand the ordeal that faced him, He did not finish his direct testimony yes- terday, and it was completed this morning. He said ho recognized the revolver exhib- ited in court as the weapon with which the shooting was done. He explained the posi- tions ia which the revolver was held in the tussle. He explained that the reason he grasped the revolver in his left hand was that he was left-handed. There was no shot fired after he got full possession of the gun. He didn't know until the struggle was _concluded that Gothman had been shot. He did not ascertain that the man was shot three times till he learned it from the coroner. When he got up he saw that the man was bleeding on the carpet and took hold of him and pulled him into the bed room. He then voured water on the blood and swept it out of the kitchen door. Heremoved the body into the bed room because he didn’t want his wife and his father to come in and stumblae over the body. He intendeda to go for the sheriff. He took the hat worn E)‘ the man out of the blood and put it into the stove., He told his neighbors that it was a tramp because he didn't want his wife brought into the affair. Couldn’t Heur the Third Shot. Ho was deafened by the first shot fired near his head so that he couldn’t hear the report of the third shot. He didn’t tell Mrs. Kimmell that he shot the tramp ‘“‘until he couldn’t go any more,” but that he shot the revolver until it wouldn’t go any more. He didn't know what revolver it was until one of Middaugh's boys suggested that it be- longed to Henry Luke. He didn't tell Mid- daugh that he thought it might be better to bury the body and say nothing about it, but told him that at first, in his excitement, he thought that it would be the best way, but finally concluded to give himself up to the sheriff, He called Gothman a tramp simply because he was tramping on the railroad. The blood he got on him was during the struggle. The first time he heard that Miunie was the wife of Gothman he was told by the sheriff that she had con- fossed that Gothman was her husband. On cross-examination the prisoner said he never told any other person than his attor- ney the story told on the stand. The other stories were not true wkere they conflict with this. There was unot an unpleasant word spoken until he mat Gothman with the pistol. There had been nothing sald about the girl until Gothman demanded to know about “his wowman.” He was in reach of Gothman with the hammer in his right hand. Didu’t know what he did with the hammer. When the first shot went off the man was in the door leading from the kitchen to the front room. They were in about the same place when the second shot went off. Didn’t know when the third shot went off. He said he didn’t tell the coroner that one shot went out of the door. He dian’t tell Middaugh that one shot went into the air. N. C. Carleton, father of the defendant, testified that the girl Mary never told Charlie in his presence that Minnio was her stepmother. He did not enter his house after the tragedy until the next day. He found a door and a chair broken as evidence of the struggle. On cross-examination he stated that he did not say anything apout the broken door or chair at the coroner’s in- quest because nobody asked him, Godfrey Dista, grandfather of the Goth- man children, testified that he saw August Gothman in South'Omaha after they arrived there before the tragedy and told him that Minnie went away with Charlie Carleton. On cross-examination he explained that he said she had gone to Sioux City, but that Charlie came back. ‘This concluded the defendant's testimony. Opening of the Arguments. George S. Loomis opened the case for the state m an eloquent and forcible manner. He denounced the crime of murdar as the worst of all crimes and one that the united sentiment of the civilized world condemns and abhors. August Gothman, he declared, was killed on the 8th of Juno. On that matter, all were agreed, the only difference being as to whether the killing was felonicus or in self- defense. No colder-blooded murder was ever committed without a motive. Was there a motive in this case? He believed that there was the strongest of motives. The perpetrator had become enamored of his victim’s wife and had married her. He knew that they both could not enjoy her and that as long as they both lived thers was no hope for him, as the other had a prior claim. There was no question, the speaker thought, that Carleton knew before he met Gothman on that taval morning in June that Minnie Gothman was the wife of August Gothman. The testimony to that effect had been al- most positive. He planned to meet hisin- tended victim alone. Had he believed, as he claims, that Gothman had no claim on her, why should he not have met him like a man and asserted his claim? Thought the Story Fals The story told on the witness stand by Carleton the attorney decided was & most improbable one from start to finish. The accidental discharge of three bullets, all aimed at Gothman’s brain and fired close enough to singe the skin, and all fired from different directions, is absolutely inconceiv- able. The testimony, 80 much different from any story ever told by the defendant, stamps i having been concocted for the occasion, ““If the story told on the witness stand were true why should his counsel have kept it back from the coroner’s inquest?” he asked. "It was perfectly iunocent and harm- less and would have materially helped his case, in fact, if true, it has been an outrage to have kept him in jail all this time.” Mr. Loomis carefully went over the evi- dence, and his masterly argument of two hours duration was listened to with con- siderable attention by a crowded house, At the close of Mr. Loomis’ plea it was an- nounced that Wesley Carleton, who was shot on Sunday, was dead, and court ad- Journed to give the prisoner an opportunity to view his brother’s remains. Lawrence Nof d Personals, Lawsrxce, Neb., Oct. 17.—[Special to Tie Bk, ]—Mr. Frank Wiebeler, the oldest gen eral merchant in Lawrenze, died Sunday of kidney disease, aged 50. Louis Cleveland, 18-year-old son of Ben Cloveland, died Sunday of consumption, hay- ing lingered at death’s door since last Feb- ruary.

Commissioner Bromberg of Alabama voday offered a paper, which he said was the text of a bill that would be brought before con- gress in a day or two, and asked that it be printed in the minutes. This, Mr. Brom- berg explained, was & modification of the Durborow resolution. -Commissioner Mac- Donald of California opposed the proposition.

It is not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate as to the right or wrong of a matter.
