This was B er, the woman charged with murder in the first degree, in this, that on the night of October 26, 1893, she met Henry Reiser upon one of the principal strects of South Omaha and there, without a moment's warning, fired a bullet Into his body, from the effects of which he died at the Presbyterian hospital in this city on December 15, after suffering untold_agonies. As the woman walked to her seat there | tehing of necks and an audible r, which was instantly suppressed by court bailiff, silence continued she was called before the judge to to the information charging nfurde and which was read by County Attornc Kaley, During the reading the woman ap- peared to be the most indifferent person in the room and at the close, in response to the question of Jud cott, “Are gullty or not guiity?’ she quickly re sponded in a low, clear tone, and with a nod of the head and a smile, t gullty After the plea was entered, Elolse Rudiger retarned to at and held a whispered consultation with her husband, who had dropped in during the arraignment. Had the ayerage spectator been unaware of the fact that the woman was accused of murder, he would have formed the opinion at once that she was a modest young girl who had prepared herself for an’ afternoon out. Her cheeks had taken a healthful or, and all in all, she appeared to be rather prepossessing, clothed in a dark gray dress of tailor make, trimmed with wine colored silk. She wore a beaver fur cape and carricd a muff of the same material, while upon her head there was perched a stylish hat that was a perfect match for the dress. During the time of the reading of the information the attention of the prisoner was attracted to the figures in the carpet bencath her feet, and more than once she tapped these self same figures in a friendly manner with the toe of one of her shoes The case has not yet been set for trial, but when it does come on Lee S.

Jury Decides Against Fred Lu Prisoners Arri the case of the state ‘against Fred esi, the young man who was ac- d of embezzling $940 from the Omaha News company, the jury returned a ver- dict of guilty. The case will be appealed to the supreme court, in the event that a new trial is denled. Another lot of prisoners from the county jail were taken into the criminal section of the district court yesterday, where they were arraigned, and all pleaded not guilty. James Ashford and Barney Smith were ac- cused of burglary in this, that they had robbed the residence and store of Abe Mar- tin of $350 worth of clothing and jewclry. Charles Wooldridge, a beardless youth, was compelled to answer to the crime of wigning the firm name of Heafy & Heafy to an $8 check, which was drawn on the Iirst Natlonal bank. Leonard Holden was charged with having met M. C. McCullum during one of the dark nights, on a way-out residence street, and, at the muzzle of a revolver, persuaded him to deliver 50 cents and a pocket knife, all of the valuables which he had upon’ bis person. C. 0. Pearson was called upon to deny that he was guilty of keeping a place where such games as faro, roulette and stud poker were played for money. Christian Frahm, the erstwhile clerk at the German Savings bank, stood up long enough to listen to the reading of fourteen informations, each charging him with em- bezzlement, after which he pleaded not guilty to each and all. Thomas Bentley, John Kelley, Bdward C. Brennan, James Carroll and Thomas 0'Doud, the five young men who went through the Burlington depot at South Omaha and filched therefrom twelve bottles of Holland gin, declared that fn their case it was a case of mistaken identity.

During the progress of the blaze a portion of the wall fell, burying several firemen beneath the ruins. Soon aft that Downs, the plaintiff, brought suit for $10,000 damages on unt of injuries sustained, alleging n improper construe- tion of the wall. The case went into court, and was fought with all of the energy and de ination known to the legal fraternity, and in the end the jury returned a verdict of $7,000 for the plaintiff.

In the case of George King against Alva Waterman, the defendant has filed his answer with the clerk of the court, and thereiu he denies the allegations in the peti- tion, after which he alleges that he is the individual who has been injured, and that $2,000 is the aggregate amount of damages he is entitled o recover. Some time ago King sued Waterman in an action to recover the sum of $2,800 damages, alleging a_trade that had never been con- sumated. In his petition the plaintil alleged that the defendant was the owner of 240 acres of land out in the western part of the country, worth fully $13,200, for which he had paid some moncy and had traded some city property. The deal was made, with the exception of passing the papers, and with the understanding that the deed would be forthcoming. The plaintiff charged that he went upon the premises with his men and erected a barn, besides making other im- provements.. When he demanded his deed Waterman, he declares, backed completely out and refused to have anything more to do about the trade, Charity & Before Judge Keysor the case of Charity Smith agaiust D. T. Mount and Paul Platz is on trial, where the plaintiff is seeking to recover $2,500 damages. The plaintift alleges that she was the owner of a house, which Is situated on the lot where the new building of the Omaha club is uow being located; that the defendants entered wupon the premises, removed her building without her consent and destroyed her personal be- longings, Including $125 in cash. The house in question was situated upon the lot which was a bone of contention in the courts for many years. Charity Smith claimed that during ihe lifetfme of Senator Hitchcock he gave her the Tot, but there were 10 papers to show her right of posse slon. After the death of the elder Hitch- cock, his son, Gllbert M., ousted the woman and ' took possession of the lot. Chagity Smith took the matter into the courts and was defeated at every turn, each of the courts holding that she did not even have a shadow of a title. UL in Jail, Justice Charles W.
