Willlam H. Mabrie of South the first witness called by the buttal. He testified that he week ago last Sunday at the Mrs. Smith, at which time and place a versation took place between Smith and his ex-wife. The witness heard what was said on that occasion, and said that Smith that what the papers reported that b on the witness stand was a mistake, he was going on the stand again and would that it corrected. The Witness d he heard all of the conversation and that Smith did not say that what he swore to was all a lie ) cross-examination Mabrie testified that Smith did not say any- thing direct, and didn’t say anything about women not g Jail to see him for fmmoral_purposes. mith had a copy of the World-Herald and the witness had a topy of The Bee. When the roport of what Bmith had sworn to was read Mrs. Smith was protty hot, and soon afle 1 Smith entered the room. Smith Mrs. Smith then had such a racket over it that the wit- ness wanted to be out of there. All he heard Smith say about the published report was that it wa nd he would liave it correct aid_not hear any talk about anyboc paid for testifying, Frank Stroud was called for the purpose of tmpeaching the testimony of Smith, but as the grounds had not been properly iaid the defense_obfected, and the witness was told to stand aside until this could be done by recalling Smit mith was not in the court room, and Mrs. Martha Lee was called. She testified that she was solicitor he Rescie home for penitent fallen women in this city. She solicited food and clothing, and some of the time was in char the girls at the home... She was there in the summer and fall of 1892 when Lilas Page was taken to the home, and saw the girl there the night of her arrival, She talked with Lilas the next day and evening, and the girl told her that she was_pregnant. This was the Iast of Sep- temBer, and was about a weck after Lilu left the county jail. The witness carefully observed the girl for a month with refepence to what had been told her. Lilas was sick nearly all the time, and told tho witness at ono of the many conversations that she had with her that she was pregnant and did not propose to stay there and allow ler baby to be born, as all the girls would know it, and she was going away. The witness told her not to feel so badiy about it, as she (the witness) would that she was carefully secluded and when she was confined would take care of her herself, and not a soul ont- side the home should know about it. After Lilas had been there about a month she told the witness that she thought she was going to have a miscarriage, the doctor called a doctor. Soon after that Lilas’ symptoms of pregnancy disappearcd. The witness said that while she was certain when Lilas first come to the home that the girl was pregnant, she was now of the opin. fon that this had not been the case. On cr mination the witness testified that Lilas told her that her symptoms of pregnancy dated back about three months. The witness made no examination, but made up her opinfon from what she saw of the girl's sickness and what the girl told her about the cause of it. The witness said she had had experience in such cases for about twenty years and was of the opinion that she could tell a case of pregnancy when she saw it as well as any one. She festified that Lilas told her that she had been Intimate with a colored man named Jesse Newman, and that Newman had given her monc: but didn’t say how much. The doctor who attended Lilas at the home was Dr. Somer- ville, who was the family physician at the home. PAGE GIRL'S TESTIMONY. Lilas Page, the girl who has been the subject of o much unpleasant notoriety in the case, was the next witness. She testified that she was 18 years old last July, and for about three months last summer was an inmate of the county jail, where she was charged with being a procuress. After being released from jail she remained with her stepmother at Sixteenth and Jones strects for about a week, and then went to the Rescue Home. The witness testified that she thought at that time that she was pregnant, but she now knew that this had not been the case, and that she had never been pregnant in her life. She knew Mrs. Bennett while in the Jail, but didn’t think she had ever talked with her about her condition. Mrs. Bennett had not told her what to do to get rid of her unborn babe, and she had never told her stepmother that she had. She had told her that Mag Greén had told her what to do. Mrs. Bennett nevers gave her any medicine or instruments, and no attempt was ever made to produce an abortion on her. She was in the home when she found out that she was-not pregnant. Dr. Somers had called to see her while at her stepmother's house, and had made an examination. She had not seAt for him, and did not know who did, Dr. Walker also made an examination of her a day or two after Dr. Somers was there. The doctor at the home, Dr. Somer- ville, her medicine when he called to soe her there. He gave her medicine for whatever it was that she was complaining o, On ocross-examination she testified that when she went to the jail she thought she had been pregnant for more than a month. She didn't know whether she had talked with Mrs. Bennett about it or not. She had told her stepmother of her condition, and had belleved that this was what was the matter with her. ) The witness became very much confused during the cross-examination, and repeatedly contradicted herself. She could not say whether she had ever talked with Mag Groen about her condition or not, yet was very positive that the Green woman had told her what to do to get out of her trouble. he tostified that she had talked with the ireen woman about her condition before sho went to Jail, and later sald that she had this=conversation after she was sent to jail. She told Dr. Somers and M Lee that she was pregnant, and after com- ing out of jail had a talk with her ste mother about it. She knew that she did not toll her stepmother that Mrs, Bennett had told her what to do, but could not say what had been said ag the time of the con versation with her mother as they had so many of theso talks. She was sick while in fail, but not sick enough to be in bed Dr, King came there once to sce her when sick. She told Mrs. Bennett that she wanted to sea him to get some medicine, but did not remember what she wanted the medicine for. She talked with Mag Green about her condition about a week or two before she went to fail he worked for Mr. Lowls about a week or two before she went to Jall. A colored man named Josse Newman came ‘to the jail to see her once He talked with her, but the door was locked between them. Other people had also gone to the jail to seo her, but she could not re- member namo: MRS, BENNRTT'S DENTALS Mrs. George A. Bennott was the next wit- 0 he testified that she remecmbered Lilas Page, as she was matron of the jail when Lilas was there, She had never talked with the girl about h v, and bad never advised her what he never gave the girl a drop of medicine, and when asked whether she had ever furnished her with Instruments replied that she had rot as they “didu't have none there” No abortion had ever been performed or tempted or wmentioned in the Jull whil the witness was there. = She was suro tha she would have known of it if there tad been. On cross-examination she sald that she was matron of the jall for two years. Sha started in In January, 1892, and remalasd When the Omaha state in pri residence was re- nt a of con- se0 | election. during her husband’s term as sheriff. She was at the jail nearly all the time. She was away in September, 1593, when she was out In the state visiting some of the Re- bekah lodges, Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows, as she was the state president of that dogree. She was In Chicago the week before the last election, but was at home on elec- tion day. She was not away in 1862, Her husband was away some that summer, but not more than a week at a time. The wit- ness did not agree with Lilas as to Dr. King having been called to the jail. She sald that he had never been called there to soe Lilas, She had never called him; in fact, she had never called any physician. She wac very positive that she would dis- tinetly remember if any physiclan had calle to see Lilas. The witness testified that she saw the girls in tho cell every day, and she did not have a hard time managing them. Four of them got away on the Fourth July, but that was while she was awa None of the others had gotten away. was acquainted with Mosher. never heard Lilas complain of sickness, and had never suspected that she was pregnant. She did not think that Newman had ever called at the fail to see The witness sald gho” would hay 1 it if Newman had been there to see If any one had called in her ahsence she would have been told about it. She was always called when any visitors came to see any of the prisoners in the women's department, and she went and stood there as long as the visitors re- mained. She did not think that Theod ever brought man there. The witnoss sald that she was appointed matron by her hushan. did not know whether the appointment was ever confirmed by the Board of County Commis or n ho knew that s \d never received any money for her work. Her husband had told her that she was to attend to the dutles of the position. She had received pay for the first month’s work, but she knew that after that her pay stopped. When she was away the lors did the work. She was never notified of any discharge, She was away ten days or two weeks in September On redirect esamination the witness tes« tified that her room was upstairs right over the women’s department, and she could always hear the opening of the door leading down to the basement. She never heard it open late at night but once, and then she went down to see what was the matter. She found that of the girls was very sick, and had whistled up through the tube to the office for ance, The witness said she always remained up until the sheriff came lome, and it was frequently 11:30 o'clock. She never allowed any carousing in the women's department. One night a_colored band sercnaded her anl she invited the serenaders into th It was possible to liear any nois h the jail. When the four girls escaped she had turned over the keys to Jailer Miller, and he had said he would look after the girls. She told him she had allowed them to go into the laundry to sce tho parade. When she returned the Jailer scolded her for letting the women go into the laundry, and had denied that she had told him anything about it. The wit- iess said she never saw whisky in the women’s department, but smelt it there once, and had inquired how it came there. She learned that it came in from the out- side, and had punished the culprit, who got it by sending her upstairs. On recross-examination the witness said that the women could undoubtedly get liquor sometimes. She learned that they got it through the keyhole, and she then had the keyhole changed. The liquor was poured in with a coffee can spont, but in order to do this the women must have stood in with somebody in the men's department of the Jail, KOEN SWEARS AGAL Bd Koen, editor of the Figaro, called to the witness stand. He that he knew Jailer Joe Miller, and had talked with him in the witness' office, where Miller had come at the request of the wit- ness. There was no talk at that time of any abortion in the county jail. There had been a talk on that subject subsequent to that time, but Miller was the one who did the talking. The witness never told Miller any such thing as that an abortion had been committed at the jail. Miller had asked him if he had read what The Bee was going to charge Benneit with, and had then ftold about the alleged abortion. Lilas Page wi not the name of the woman who was men- d as having been the vietim. This the only talk they ever had on that s t.

Th conviction 18 The witness later c 1892, when informed by the attorneys for the defense that he was wrong as to the year. He-said he did not express any opi fon as to what er told him. He was merely pumping Miller to find out all he could for newspaper purposes. The witness said he supported Bennett at the reque of the republican county central committee. Figaro was the official organ of the republi- can party in Douglas county. It was made s0 by Charley Unitt, chairman of the exccn- tive committee of the entral committe This was about fifteen days befone the elec tion. The witness said the central commit- tee paid for papers he printed. He person- ally received $200; and the balance, amount- ing to $600 in all, was paid through the office. He also received $10 apiece from candidates for publishing thelr pictures. Several people wrote articles for the paper, among them Fawkner, Yauger, Gilder and the witnes himself. When asked which articles he had written the witness said he would refuse to answ as he might crim- Inate himself. He said he was the editor of the paper, and wrote some of the edi- torials, He did not know whether the endorsement of the committee making it the official paper had been withdrawn or not, He was called upon to identify an article on the editorial page of the Figaro of March 3, reflecting on Judge Berka for his conduct in this case, but when 1 as to the au- thorship. again took advantage of the legal | serecn, refusing to answer on the ground that it might criminate him. The defense.sought to introduce the article in evidence as show- ing the Interest of the witness in the case. The court ruled it out, but subsequently an- nounced that after further consideration he had decided to admit it. The article was then read. The witness said he remembered the arti- cle headed An Assassir printed in the garo and relating to Rosewater and Miss yer. He was in Bennett's office on sev- eral occasions, and had not seen the paper being cireulated from there. If Bennett socured several hundred coples of the paper ho must have pald for them. Bennett had not £o paid him, and he had not seen Ben- net nor any one sent by him getting such papers at the office. JAIL WAS A NIC redirect examination the witness sald saw liquor drank at the jail and rd any boisterous demonstrations there. He never had any liquor there except what was prescribed for him in sickness. The jail was very clean. Bennett had noth ing to do with any articies that were printed in the Figaro. On cross-cxamination dld not Kknow perso PLACE. on he never never he the witness sald he ally of any perjured testimony in the case, such as was charged in the article published in the Figaro. He then denied that he had written that articl®, and when asked why he had previously refused to answer it on the ground that it would criminate him, said it was because he was editor of the paper. When asked whother he dll not state to Charles Perrin, a former reporter on the World-Herald, in Murphy's saloon about two or three weeks ago that when he was at the county jail 48 a prisoner he was drinking beer in the office with Theodore Bennett one night and heard screams {ssuing from the women's de- partment, and they hurried down aud found a woman in very bad shape, that the shects wore covered with blood, and that he tele- phoned for Dr. Lanyon to come and stop the woman from bleeding to death, the wit- ness denied that he had said anything of tho kind. He said *he was at the place named at the time designated, and had a conversation with Perrin, but told the lat- ter that he didu't think the Page girl was in the jail when he was there. The witness was asked about the article printed in the Figaro relating to the alleged insanity of Mr. Rosewater. He sald he in- teryiewed Dr. Tilden about it, and the doctor had come to the office and protested that the interview was not correctly reported, us it had been written 50 as to make him express a positive opinion when ho had merely de- clared such a thing possible. The witness [ THE sald he had modified the statement in the next fssue of his paper. The interview had taken place in the presence of others, and the_witness admitted that he might have subsequently joked with the jailer about the matter, B. 8. Baker, United States district attorney, was the last witness called.in the afternoon. He testified that he had not had a talk with Mr. Rosewater about an article that the lat- ter was_going to print about Bennett, but that he had talked with him about an article that was printed October 24 regarding the incarceration of Mosher. He had gome to Rosewater and called his attention to a letter that the witness had recelved from the attorney general dircoting an investiga- tion of the charges made in The Bee and World-Herald regarding Mosher, and had asked for the names of Mr. Rosewater's in- formants. They had been given. Mr. Rose- water did not claim to know anything about the matter personally. The witness called on all these parties with a stenographer and took their statements, though not under oath. These statements the witness showod to Rosewater on the day before the election Rosewater read one or two of them, and spoke particularly about sonte of them. He sald they did not agree with what had been told hini, and said that the statement of the Schnelderwind woman was not in accord- with her affidavit, which was in his possession. The witness had the bundle of statements with him, and used them to refresh his memory Wwhile on the stand. The state sought to introduce them in evidence, but Buker objected, stating that when he se- cured them it was under promise that the contents were not to be known Lo the public The witness was allowed to retain posses- sion of them, but was directed to bring them into court today. The case was continued until this after- noon, when the cross-examination of Baker will be begun. Gilder Contradiots Koen, OMAHA, March 7.—To the Editor of The Bee: Please correct the statement made by Mr. Koen that I have been a contributor to the Figaro. I never wrote an article for that paper, nor have any article of mine ap- peared in that paper. R. F. GILDER. e Five Famous Etchings.
