Girls Attenl the Grave Robbers' Trial, D.FENSE PRESENTS A STRONG CASE Testimony of Trustee Byer Contradicted by Deiendant Burford—Theory of the Frosecution as to the Origin of the Erlckson Letters, LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 3.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The case of the state against the Cotner university students, professors and Janitors 1s being vigorously contested. It is not a trial for the crime of grave robbing, but an examination to ascertain if there Js sufficient evidence to warrant holding defendants to the district court. The de- fendants, visiting students and their lady friends In court this mormng all wore the eolors of the university, red and orange. Pre- vious to the opening of court, which did not occur until 11:20, an excursion was made to the recelving vault in Wyuka cemetery, This was a move on the part of the defense for the purpose of rebutting evidence relat- ing to identification of Otto Albert's re- mains, The case of the defense hangs upon this point. In the party were Attorney Mack, Drs. Graham, Bentley and Richards, Bonds- man Oliver and Detective Malone and several reporters. The cadaver was brought from the vault into the open air and closely ex- amined by the medical gentlemen. Here it Buseck and Frederick Kurth are Incorpora- tors.

DECEMBER 4, 1894 POWELL ELECTED ATTORNEY Board of Education Decides that Its Presi- dent Shall Be Iu'Amruay. RESIGNS HIS MEMBERSHIP IN THE BODY Attempt to Change Salaries of Principals Floally Reposes on the Table—Con- dolatory Resolutions on the Death of Superintendent's Daughter. The Board of Education last evening elected Clinton N. Powell its attorney for the ensu- ing year, vice James B. Melikle, who has served as the legal advisor of the board for the past two years. Mr. Powell immediately resigned as member and as president of the board. His resignation was accepted, but no effort was made to select a new president for the few remalning weeks of the year. The election of an attorney was not ac- complished without some little rivalry. There were but two candidates, Mr. Powell and Mr. Melkle. When the board took up the matter of clecting an attorney Mr. Powell asked to be excused from voting and called Mr. Thomas to the chair. The informal ballot stood 6 to 6 in favor of Mr. Powell. Six in- formal ballots were taken in quick succession with a change of but one vote, Mr. Powell then lacking a single vote. After six ballots had been taken the board declared a cessa- tion of hostilities for five minutes, after which two more ballots were taken. Mr. Powell received the necessary majority on the eighth ballot, NewportefleCrepon The new fabric"fof evening wear, light blue nile, lemon, rose, pink, ete., at our dress goods| eount 52-nch all wool ladi the width, worth 8¢, for 39c.

Defendant J. A. Burford was the first Wwitness this morning. He testified that he and Mehan were student janitors of the university. He denled having sald at the time the body was carried down stairs that it was heavier than when it was carried up. This contradicts the testimony of Trustee Byer. Witness admitted that, in company Wwith Mehan, he tried to inject an embalm- ing fluld into the subject, but the attempt was a faflure. ~ He produced two packages of glass, of different colors, accounting for them by the breaking of the Diana picture in another room. THOSE ERICKSON LETTERS. A contract between Witness Mehan and the uaiversity was placed In evidence, show- ing that both he and Buford had engaged with the faculty as janitors of the building. Collins, for the prosecution, wanted Buford to submit a sp:cimen of his handwriting for comparison with the Erickson letters, but the court held that the signature of the wit- ness to the contract was sufficient. It is the theory of the prosecution that the letters purporting to have been written from Chi- cago by M. B. Erickson offering to ell the body were written in Lincoln and by a party connected with Cotner university. Student-Janitor Mehan was next on the car- pet. His testimony was closeiy corroborativ ot Buford's. Witness contradicted the evi- dence of Chlet Cooper, who had testified that witness had told him Buford had the key to the dissecting room on Thursday night. Had mever sald that he helped to carry up the but admitted that Detective Malone had asked him If the body was not heavier when carrying it down than when he had assisted in carrying it up. This, he said, was #poken in the manner of a joke at the time. Collins wanted a specimen of Mehan's penmanship, but the court ruled against him. As a personal accommodation, however, to Collins, witness wrote the name M. B. Erick- #on on a slip of paper. At this point court took a recess until 2 p. m. Dr. Bently was called to the stand in the afternoon. He sald that he had visited Wy- uka cemetery this morning and found a scar on the left shin and one between the fore finger and thumb on the right hand of the cadaver now in the recelving vault. Wit- mess was a lecturer at Cotner university, and treasurer. Had received $40 from the dis- secting class on November 21, Didn't know Erickson. It was evident that Dr. Bently was a better witness for the prostcution than for the defense. Bondsman Oliver of Bethany said that he had examined the “stiff” on the night of the arrest and found no scar on th> hand. There was a scar on the left shin and the teeth were in a decayed condition. The forefinger of the right hand was bent, but not stiff. Had seen the cadaver again this morning and found the same marks. Broest McAdam, a student at Cotner, testl- fled coneerning the glass found in the dissect- ing room. He said it came from a broken pleture of tha dean. Could not recognize the handwriting of Erickson. The rest of the testimony was In the nature of rebuttal of the evidence of Bondsman Oliver. Drs. Edwards, Graham and Farnham, Detective Malons and Reporter Mason testi- fled to the presence of a scar on the back of the right hand. Oliver had testified that there was no such scar. But one more wit- mess wil be offered by the prosecution to- morrow morning, when the case will be argued by counsel. MAYOR WEIR'S PET SCHEM ‘Whatever other lessons Mayor Weir may have learned from the recent election, he does not seem to have seen in the verdict of the people any Intimation that his policy regarding the suppression of the soclal evil is not a popular one. It appears that this pet policy of the mayor has not made any considerable amount of noise in the munici- pal rattlebox, and some of the policemen had begun to be in danger of forgetting the mayor's famous pet orders, and therefore it was that when the night force lined up urday evening Mayor Weir was present to refresh a little the officlal memory. He begun by assuring the boys that his orders regarding the social evil had never been re voked and are presumed to be in full force and effect. He had heard a number of things, however, in relation to the enforce- ment of the rules which had surprised him a great deal. In fact he had been led to be- lieve that the orders were not being en- forced with the rigor and Integrity he de- sired. He was apprised of the fact that there were quite a number of disreputably women plying their trade about the city, and he was determined to have them run out of town. If the present police force was unable to do this work he assured them that he would try and get men who will. The result of the mayor's little visit to headquarters was marvelous, acd manifest itselt before niorning, in the arrest of no less than four couples who were found violating the pet orders of the mayor. All of the people ar- rested were of the lowest character, but thy arrests are accepted as a warning by the better class of sinners. JUDGE HOLCOMB CANED. At 2 o'clock p. m. today, at room 92, Lindell hotel, Governor-elect Silas A. Hol- comb was presented with a beautiful gold- headed cane. This is the same cane won by Judge Holcomb in the week's voting contest at the Cathedral bazar, prior to the election of November 6. The contest was between Majors and Holcomb, and although officlally sanctioned by neither, was carried on with considerable spirit on each side. Judge Holcomb won by & handsome majority. The presentation speech was made by Mr, J. J. Butler of this elty, In a felicitous address of acceptance Judge Holcomb sald that he fully reallzed that this gift came from no particular class, but that he should receive it as a testimonial expression from the peo- ple at large, regardless of creed or party. In his futare course as governor of Ne- braska he hoped to carry out this idea of the totality of the people as distinguished from individuallsm. ~ He should endeavor to always stand for the people in the aggregate s agalnst classes In partic LINCOLN BREVITIES.

INTERESTING QUESTION SETTLED, Pupils of the State Institute for the Blind Must Leave When Gradusted. NEBRASKA CITY, Dec. 3.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Judge Chapman rendered an impor- tant declsion this afternoon. The case was that of several puplls against the Institute for tho Blind located at this city. The case grew out of the refusal last year of these puplls to leave the institute after they had completed the course of study, graduated and received thelr diplomas. They claimed it was an asylum. The super- intendent referred the matter to the attorney general, who held that the institution was not an asylum and the pupils must leave. Even then the pupils refused to leave until the superintendent secured writs of ouster. The | pupils then asked for an injunction restraining the superintendent from removing them. Judge Chapman held today that the insti- tute Is not an asylum, but a charitable edu- cational institution and denied the writ, Should this decision hold it removes one fat office from the governor's appointive list.

Louisville Liridge Case Reopened PLATTSMOUTH, Neb.,, Dec. pecial Telegram.)—The Loulsville bridge case, lately passed upon by the supreme court in fayor of the people of Louisville and against Cass county, refuses to down. Suit was originally brought to compel the county to pay for the repairs on the bridge which spans the Platte river at Louisville. Distriet Judge Chap- man lssued a writ of mandamus requiring the county commissioners to repair the bridge. The commissioners took an appeal and the supremo court In passing on the matter affirmed the decision of the lower court, but left unsettled the question as to whether the county was liable for the repairs on all | the bridge. This left the case really un- | settled, as it gave the commissioners a sort of loophole, on the ground that Sarpy county was responsible for one-half of the repairs. With the north half unrepaired the bridge would be utterly worthless for travel and thq Loulsville people, through their attorneys, have now taken steps to have the matter ap- pealed and the question of liability between the two counties passed upon in full, Kted in a Ruoawa, INDIANOLA, Neb., Dec. 3.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Mrs. Trissel, a widow residing five miles northwest of Bartley, was fatally in- jured in a runaway aceldent while coming to town this morning.

E. J. Baldwin, owner of the Santa Anita horses, h fiderce in Erien. He thinks the' b stewards made a mistake in warning Brien off the track. ‘ There is no evidence against Brien,” says Mr. Daldwin. “A trifling cir- cumstance has been made to work against my trainer, and I propose to stand by him. There are other tracks in the United States besides San Ifrancisco. In my opinton all the in and out running of Rey el Santa Anitz was due to Duff.
