STATE RESTS IN FLOTH CASE Detectives Bwear that Floth Told Them He Kicked Fee, STATE'S ATTORNEY SPRINGS SURPRISE Calls Michael Mollner, One of the Co-Defendants to Witness Stand to Tell of the Alteration. The best witnesses for the state in the Floth murder trial before Judge Baker were reserved until the last. This {s why it hap- pened that the particular blow which, it s contended, was the cause of Edward Fee's death on the night of August 22, was not mentioned until @ few minutes before the state rested. Up to this time there had been a missing link in the testimony. Dr. Lavander had demonstrated that the blow e's head which, in his ovinion, caused the contracoup fracture and indirectly the rupture of the blood vessel and the conse- quent death, had been made hy a hard sub- stance of some kind. He ventured the opinfon that it might have been made by a fist, but probably was made by a kick None of the witnesses had mentioned & kick. Wachtler told the court he saw both Coyne and Floth prmmel Fee with thelr fists, but he declared positively that none of his companions on the night of the orgle in the rear of the blacksmith shop had kicked Fee. Tho next to the last of the prosecution’s witnesses was Detective Sav- age. He supplied the missing link to the complete chain of testimony. “I arrested Coyne the day after the murder when he was at work in the Union Pacific shops,” the detective sald, “and took him to the police statlon for an examination before the captein. In my presemce and before Captain ller, Detective Dunn and Floth himself, Coyne stated that on the night re- ferred to Floth struck Fee several times prior to leaving him and walking to the Burt street sidewalk. He sald that the group afterward returned from the walk to the place where they had been drinking in the rear of the shop and that Floth resumed his assault on Fee and kicked him, as well as struck hun with his flsts Tho defense made a determined resist- ance to the admission of this testimony, objecting to it on the ground that it is hearsay evidence, but the court overruled the objections and Detective Savage's state- ments quoting Coyne as swearing that Floth kicked Foe, became a part of tne rocords which will go to the jury for con- sideration. State Springs Surprise. The attorney for the state caused some- thing of a surprise when he informed the court that he had but a single witness more, end then called the name of Michael Moll- wer. This man is one of the co-defendants Wwith Leo Coyne. Nothing had been sald to suggest that he might take the witness ctair and tell of circumstances that would fncriminate his companions, so there was a flutter of genuine surprise when Mollner stopped before the bench and was sworn. Moliner 18 a youth of slender stature. A pallor overspread his features and he was exceesively nervous whem he seated him- solt in the chair before the court. His eyes avolded those of Floth, who sat just bebind his attorneys and watched him fur- tively. Most of the time Mollner stared at the attornoy questioning him. Occaslon. ally, when the querles related to circum stances Incriminating his companions, Moll- mer would drop his head and stammer, but mover once did he glance in the direction of Floth. The defendant was s unconcerned #s usual. Mollner's having been a turn- coat to the “‘gang’’ was apparently expected to him as to the spectators he showed no anxiety. The only emotlons ho gave slgns of were curosity and amuse- ment. Mollner's story was: “On the night of August 22, just after supper, I met Leo Coyne, Harry Floth and John Wachtler near the corner of Thirty-second and Burt streets. We chatted awhile and then at the suggestion of someone In the group, I do not remember who, we went down to Anderson’s saloon near Twenty-fifth and Cumlng streets to buy some beer. As soon as tho boverage was purchased we crossed the street, golng down the driveway at the side of the blacksmith shop to the rear ‘where & box wagon stood. We four climbed into the vehicle and drank the beer, pass- ing the jug containing it from one to an- other till the crockery was empty. Floth ‘was the only one who had any money. He #ald he had five cents and wonld spend it. He then crossed over to the saloon again to get the second supply of liquor. When that was finished Wachtler suggested that wo go home, saylng that he must work in the morning and thought we had stayed out late enough. Coyne Was Still Thirsty, “All of us but Coyne assented. He sug- gested that wo have one more round of drinks. Floth sald he had another nickel and volunteered to go after a sandwich it Coyne would again rush the can. The rest of us left the wagon and found s on the ground a fow feet from the wall of the shop. Coyne returned first with the beer. When Floth appeared he was accompanied by a stranger. The trouble between Coyne and the stranger arose when, in response to Coyne's invitation to buy another supply of liquor, the stranger sald .he had no money and could not accommodate him. *Coyne struck the man several times as he eat with his back to the wall. We then left tho enclosure, starting toward Burt street, leaving the stranger flopping toward the ground. There was a conversation on the walk and a few minutes later we re- turned to see if the man had any money. That was at Coyne's suggestion. When wo reached the man’s ride Floth went through Ns pockets. He took the watch. After that he struck the man several times. ‘Then we all started home, leaving the man Iytng against the wall of the shop.” Judge Baker asked the witness if he saw any ouwe kick Fee. Molluer's answer was no. When court convened Detectives Johnson and Helin were put on the witness stand ia turn to tell of the recovery of Fee's watch, which Floth took from his pocket after assaulting him. Detective Johnson sald that at first Floth denled having stolen the watch, but on being confronted by Coyne, who had previously admitted that he had taken it, he confessed and accom- panied the officers to a vacant lot at Twen- ty-fourth and Jones streets, where the time- e was recovered from Its hiding place alls but Two Witnesses, Before the close of the afternoon session the testimony was all in and the argu- ments of the attorneys for the prosecu- tion were completed. The case did mot go to the jury, but will be submitted this morning after the arguments of the de- fondant's attorneys. The defense was con- tented with calling two witnesses to tell the court that on the night of the murder they heard a wagou or carrlage driven through the alleyway past the shop where Fee was found. The importance of this circumstance 15 that Fee might have been killed by having been struck by & horse's hoot, as he lay at the cormer of the shop near the alley. Harry Floth, the defendant, was put on the stand. He admitted that he was drink- ing in the rear of the smithy, but declared that neither he nor Coyne mor any of the others In the group struck or kicked Fee. His tesiimony was identical with that of other witne excqpting that he would aot adwit bavig quarreled with Fas or striking him or taking the watch, as charged by the police ONIECTS TO DI K WAGON, Mra, George C. Jenning vorce from hand. When George C. Jennings compelled his wite to drive a milk wagon he furnished the fast straw that made the matrimonial burden too heavy o be borne, and, as well, gave sufficient cause for the courts to come to the rescue of his wife with a decree of divorce. Judge Keyror heard the case at yesterday's session of court. One witness related the milk wagon episode. Thore were others who were will- ing to tell of further Indignities alleged to have been heaped by Jennings on Mrs. Jennings, but his honor waved them off. “I don't want to hear any more,” he exclaimed. “That's enough,” and the tone of his voice, as he vigorously applied his pen to the decree prepared by the at- torneys, Indicated the enormity of Jen- nings’ offense in his eyes. Mrs, Jennings' name s Ampa C. It was sald in court that her husband was not over-fond of work and that he allowed Mre, Jennings to do most of the chores. Witnesses sald that Mrs. Jennings earned the money with which to purchase the cows and a wagon to peddle milk and did all the work of tending to the cows and milking them. Jennings, they sald, even refused to drive the wagon from one house to another to furnish customers with milk compelling his wife to add this to her other dutles. Another houschold ncident that contributed to the court's willingness to grant a decreo was a time when Jennings came home and without provocation became angry and kicked down the pipe to the kitchen stove. MORE Given a DI« ro LITIGATION, Motion for Rehenring of an 01d Case in the Supreme Court, Tn the supreme court of Nebraska next Monday another step In the recovery of funds of the Greater American Exposition assets by the trustee will be taken. At that time Hayden Brothers will file a mo-~ tion for rehearing in the case which was decided against them on a point of law at the last sitting of the court and the trus- tee will contest the motion. It is generally believed that the court will sustain its former action and the caso will come to Douglas county where it will be tried upon its merits. There Is $10,000 involved in the suit, but it may be several years before any money 1s realized should the case finally be decided In favor of the association. Some time ago it was generally under- stood that a dividend would be declared by the referee, but that dividend is now as uncertain as it ever has been for the reason that the trustee decided that he could bet- ter protect his trust by keeping the funds on hand to pay court costs and other ex- penses, rather than to pay 10 per cent or less to the creditors, The trustee waived his right to payment of fees under the first dividend, and will, he says, take his chances of securing his fees after the preferred creditors are paid in full. From this it can be seen that the trustee feels confident that in time the estate will pay the preferred creditors, and if all of the suits now pend- 1ng are declded in favor of the trustee the THE Hayden Bro | $1.50 books only 2 |King's famous copyright set of Dickens' works, $2.95.
