8 LILAS PAGE AT COUNTY JAIL Evidence as to the Abortion Alleged to Have Been Performed. POLICE MATRON CUMMINGS' TESTIMONY 18 an Amongg of the Bad Under Sherift Be Filth in Cell Ro ton Revolt rroof Chilef Galligan of the fire department was the first witness called by the defense at the continuation of the hearing of the DBennott- Rosewater libel case yoster afternoon His testimony related out of the fire department on the night of Novem- ber 9, 1802, to quell a riot among the pris- oners In the county jall. He sald that he was at home when the alarm was turned in 0 o'clock, followed by the informa- rlot at the fail. When prisoners ny to the calling about 9 tion that the the witness got there he found the in full control of the jail, and smashing out the windows with a that liad been torn from a bench In the ridor. They would not allow anybody to get near them. The witness ordercd two streams of water turned on the prisoners, but they hung up their canvas bunks in the doors, and it was not third stream was turned on that they capitulated. They had hed out all the windows on the south of the wing. They finally seid they would allow the witness to in, but would not allow any il officials to enter the cage room uble was in the upper tier of cells, and there at least ten and possibly fifteen of the rebels, When the witness had begun to bring them to terms he called the and went Into the cell room. The prisoncrs were in the corridor in front of the cells, and they were finally induced to enter the cells and submit to being locked up. 100 Jalf an hour to bring them out. said that they had been shamefully d and would not stand it any longer. The jailer was roasted to a turn, and the prisoners claimed that there would not have been any trouble had they been properly treated. ~The witness sald that the jail was the dirtiest place he was ever In. When the water was turned into the corridor and cells a_ mass of bones, bread and refuse was washed out into the outer portion of the cage room. WAS A DIRTY PLACE On cross-examination the witness testified that when he first got to the Jail it was im- possible to get into the part of the jail where the prisoners were, as they stood guard with the rod with which they had smashed the windows and prodded any one who sought to pass into the room or to go upon the gallery surrounding the upper tier of cells. The malcontents scemed to be more bitter toward,Deputy Jailer Engstedt than any one else. There were at least four or five big scoop shovels full of refuse and filth washed out of the cells. The other portion of the jail scemed to be all right. The men said that they had not been get- ting enough to eat and that they were not treated right by .the jailer: _ T. K. Sudborough Wwas the next witness. He testified that he was In Chicago twice during the latter part of July, 1895, and that on one of these occasions, when enroute home, Mosher got on the train at Galesburg, and the witness rode in the same seat with him for some time. He had known Mosher for three Years. On cross-examination the witness sald he could not give the dates of his trips to Chicago, but thought they were two Saturdays about the last of the month. He was there earlier in the month, and could not say on which trip he saw Mosher. He left Omaha on the first trip about the Sth of July. The meeting with Mosher was not on that day or while going to Chicago on any other trip, but was while coming west, homeward bound. John T. Lind, ex-deputy jailer, was called, but said that he had never seen anything out of the way at the jail. The state at- tempted to show by the witness that over- tures had been made to him by the defense to get him to testify, but the defense ob- jected, claiming that as the witness had testified to nothing injurious to the cause of the state, the state had no right to use him for the purpose of impeaching the testimony of the witness Smith, but should call him later as its own witness for that purpose. If the attorney for the state would say that it was for the purpose of impeaching the testimony of this witnoss no objection would be made, but otherwise objection would be made to such cross-examination. The state's attorney would not say that this was his in- tont'on, and the court said he would take the matter under advisement. PAGE GIRL'S CASE. olice Matron Cummings was the next witness. Her testimony related solely to the abortion case in the county jail.” She testified that Lilas Page Was arrested and brought to the city jail June 29, 1892. That was the first time that the witness ever saw the girl. She remained at the jail in charge of the matron for two or three days, and was then taken to the county jail to be held as a witness against Mag Green, who was charged with procuring. The next time that the witness saw the girl was when she appeared In the district court as a witness against the Green woman, some- where between thirty and sixty days after her arrest. The witness met the girl's stepmother about the time of the arrest and scveral times subsequent to that. She had a conversation with the girl when first arrested regarding the girl's pregnancy, and Jater with the girl's mother on the same subject. She had another onversation with the mother still later regarding the abortion, and had repeated all the informa- tion sho had received in the case to Messrs. Hunt, Shannon and Glick, all of whom were reporters on The Bee. The witness testified that the girl was a white girl, and when asked as to the conversations that took place, said “I had several talks with her and during one of them I asked her if she was not pregnant. She replied that she was quite sure that she was, and that she thought that it dated back for two months. I asked her who was the cause of it and she said that Jesse Newman, a colored man, was her peducer and was responsible for her trouble. 1 think that was about the extent of the conversation I had with her bearing on this case. I had a talk with dier mother shortly after that and she told me that she thought the girl was pregnant. About two or three days after the trial in the district court Mrs, Page came to see me again and wanted me to have Lilas arrested. She sald the girl's father was away and Lilas was at home with her alone and was sicl She sald that elther an abortion had been per- formed on the girl or the girl was trying to cause one, and that she was afraid that Lilas would die on her hands and that she would get into trouble over it. 1 asked why she did not make the girl tell her what had been done or what she was trying to do, and Mrs., Page said that the girl was secretive and would not tell about ft. I then asked Ler why she did not tell the girl that she was endangering her life. Sho sald she had told her so, but that Lilas had replied that there was no danger in it for Mrs. Bennett had told ler so, and that it was what Mrs. Bennett had often done her- selt.”" WHAT THE GIRL TOLD HER On cross-examination the witness testifed that she had talked a great doal with Lilas about the girl's former life, and that the girl had sald that Mrs. Page was her step- other, and her grandmother had raised he he girl also said that she had been at M Green's place to visit on several occasion but that she had never stayed there and had never boen an fnmate of a house of ‘prosti tution. The witness was certain that the girl did not have any ‘moedioines or instruments when she was at the city jall before going {0 the county jail. Her mother came to soa her when she was first arrested, and came every day while the girl was there, and al:o after she lad bien removed to the county fall. The witness said the girl told her that Newman and two other men had had in course wl and that It was tvo ujo slnce she had reason to belleve that sh pregnant. Mrs, Page told the witnoss that the gird had told her that Al nnett had sald that sho had done this same thing sev eral times to get out of an unpleasant pre dicament, and it hadw't hurt ber and wouldn't burt the sirl The mother sald ey we long rod cor re until a weat that come It hs was that further than this the g'rl would not say what it was that had been done to cause an abortion. Nellie Farr was called. She tes she was sent to the county Jail S 1893, and remained there until October 17 She knew Theodore Bennett and Mosher, She had talked with Mosher several times While In jail sho was confined in the women's department in the basement. She sald that liquor was drank there on numer ous occaslons, ™ witness sald she got whisky from Mosher several times, He would send it down to her by a colored trusty named Alexander or. While she was there two of the “lady prisoners” were taken out one night for several hours, and when they returned they said they had been out with Theodore Bennett and Mosher. The witness sald she saw Mosher two or three times a week. Sometimes when she went up stairs she saw him leave the jail with Theodors Bennett. Sometimes she ked with him im the jail office. On these occasions there was no one else present, and sho would remain with him in the jall office for about half an hour. On cross-ex; lon the witne was in jall for ny, and her name while there w Scales, When the colored boy brought whiskey down stairs to her he poured it through the keyhole and that was the way she got it. She frequently received notes from Mosher. She had never sent for liquor or asked Mosher to send It, but he had sent it just the same Other prisoners had also received liquor, and she had gotten liquor from another prisoner besides Mos B. C. Hunt, a reporter for the called to testify to hearfng the story of the abortion from the police matron state's attorney sald the state would admit that this was £0, and that the witr ¢ had heard the s detailed by Mrs. Cummings and had related it to the defendant prior to the pub- lication of the’ letter. The witness testified that he had been admitted to the county jail by Mosher, who had also unlocked the door to let him out on two occasions. On one occasion Mozher seomed to have full charge of the jail, as none of the jailers or deputies were about the office or in of the adjacent corridors. Mosher had access to the key which was unlocked, and while the witness was there Mosher had un- locked the doors to allow another prisoner to pass from the residence portion of the jail_into the corridor and thence into one of the cell rooms. During the ten minutes that the witness remained in the jail Mosher continued in sole charge. VISITS TO SOUTH OMAHA. 0. B. Hill was the last witness called, testified that he was a saloon Keeper South Omaha, and on_ three nights in last September saw Theodore Bennett at his place, accompanied by a man weighing about 165 or 170 pounds. The man was short, quite good looking and dark complexioned. He Lad no beard ,though he mixht have had a shont mustache, but the thought not. He wore a light plug » White vest with dark flowered pattern and light pants, He also sported a diamond ring and diamond stud. The witness spoke about the vis to Peter Brodegard, a jeweler, and to Peter Mitler, of ithe firm of Miller Bros., who run the restaurant at Sixteenth and Howard in this city. On cross-examination, tness eaid be fixad the tme as batween 5th and 20th of Scptember, because he knew that one visit was the night before his bartender left for the World's fair, which was September 20, and another visit Wwils the night before that. He had seen Theodore Bennett scveral times since that, and he identificd the ex-juiler, who was in the court room, as the party he had seen at his place with small man above referred to. Ho was positive that he would know the other man if he was fo see him again. The witne ked with both of the men, but he was not introduced to elther of them. He called Brodegard's attention to them Jjust after they left the place, as Brodegard had °n them while they were there. He spoke to Miller about them on the evening of the second visit. Miller came just as the vis- itors were going out to take the car for Omaha. The case was continued until 2 o'clock this afternoon, at which time the defens stated that it would have the last of its witnesses on hand or would rest its case.

The boy's parents are Swedes who do mwot un- derstand English very well, but the father of the boy sall Emil went to school and minded his parents in a dutiful manner.

V. W. Clark was brought Scott yesterday for trial on having in his possession burglar tools with the intent to commit burglary. Clark, Charles H.

These men had planned to rob Joe Chung, the proprietor of the laundry, who was alleged to have had a large sum of money concealed in his place. They took in a confederate, who gave the whole scheme away to the officers. The officers laid for the men and when they appeared on the scene they were arrosted. The men were bound over from the police court on the charge of having burglar tools in their possession with felonious intent. A jury was empanneled just before noon and the trial is now in Dprogress.

Bullding Inspector Deverell assumed the reins of office yesterday, and J. F, Tilly stepped down and out. Clerk Carter will remain in the office, at least until the new tnspector familiarizes himself with the rou- tine work. Until the council confirmed the appoint- ment and approved the bond of Mr. Deverell on Tuesday evening, Mr. Tilly cherished the fond hope that he would himself secure a re appointment after the mayor had unsuccess fully sent in the names of several other as- pirants, or that he would hold over by virtue of the failure of the council and the mayor to agree. It was because of this that dur- Ing his last monthi {n office he was kept busy figuring how to carry out the order of the council to discharge one of the in- spectors in that department without removing the man from office. The resolution was passed January and was at once approved by the ma the order reaching the inepector the same week that it was passed. On the following Monday he put two inspectors, Sedgwick and Reynolds, on half time, and it so con- tinued until the end of the month. During February, Reynolds was kept on the entire month. ~Sedgwick did not work until the §th of the month, when Tilly left for Bos- ton to attend the annual convention of the national association of building inspecto but before going he put Sedgwick at work again and he remained on duty till the end of the month. When the payroll was sent tg the comp- troller with the names of both®the inspec- tors on it, that official returned it on the ground that he had no authority to recog- nize an fncumbent of a place that had been vacated by the council, and he also reported it at Tuesday evening’s meeting of the coun- cil. At the time the resolution was passed, Mr. Tilly thought it unjust to force him to discharge a man just at thé time when his own term was expiring and when he was lying awake nights figuring on how to secure a reappoiutment. He deemed it very bad taste at that critical perfod to invite him to make an enemy of the man to be discharged, and concluded to dodge the order by discharging a half of each man, rather than the whole of either of them. Wednesday, however, lie concluded that it was proper for the order to be ried out, and he incontinently fired Sedgwick out in the mud There is so little building going on now that there i3 scarcely any work for the in- spectors to perform, and Reynolds has been kept in_the office half of the time to keep the clerk from geiting loncsome. Sedgwick evidently concluded that the act of Tilly discharging him just on the eve ot the change in the office did not necessarily hold good, and he showed up at the office yesterday. Mr. Deverell was on deck, and Sedgwick experienced the sensation of getting fired from the same office twice in twenty-four hours. Reynolds was also diss a1 by the new inspector, who then nmmlllll‘v\ Thomas Lund to the position thus The oftice will be run for the pres. ent with only one Inspector, as contemplated by the resolution passed by the council over a month ago.

An audience of fair proportions listened to a most enjoyable musical entertainment at the First Congregational church last even- ing.

Taber, who pliyed two organ_ solos, and Mr. Theodore Salmon, who played two numbers and responded to an encore. Mr. Salmon's first numk ted of short sclections from the compositions of Bacli, Mozart, Moskowski and Chopin. His rendition of the “Polonaise,” by the latter composer, was brilliantly executed, but was somewhat king in force. 'His best performance was the “‘Hungar'an Rhapsodie,” by Liszt, which closed his second number. The dificult exccution of the composition dis- ayed to the best advantage the technique artist and he was compelled to respond to a very enthuslastic enc First among the vocal numbers should be mentioned the sextet from Donizetti’s opera of “Lucia de Lammermoor,” which was rendered by Mrs. C.

Their rendition of the difficult selection was a revelation even to their friends and they were obliged to repeat it before the audience would allow them to retire. Mr. WIikir sang “Love's Sorrow,” by Shelley, and Mr, Lunibard “The Pirate,” as solo numbers amd the male quartet, consisting of Messrs. Wil- Kins, Kinzie, Lumbard and Abbott, sang two very enjoyable selections. - World's fair souvenir salo at Chase & Eddy's, Omaha. coins of 1893 for 1518 Farnam street, All kinds of fish at Haydens' - - DLED.
