BODY IS TO BE TAKEN UP Two Interesting Developments in Mary Paterson Inquest. FRIENDS OF DEAD GIRL GIVE TESTIMONY She 1a Sald (o Have Declared Inten- tlon to Remain with Her Employer fe Lasted=Doctors to Make Further Examination, Two important developments entered into the Peterson Inquest yesterday. One was the discovery that it will be necessary to exhume the body in order to make A& more complete examination In the hope of ascertaining the cause of death. The other was the testimony of Amanda Erickson, saleswomun in a department store, tending to show the between the deceased and her employer, J 8. Collins. After examining five witnesses, which occupled the greater part of the fore- noon;, the inquest adjourned until 9:30 Mon- day morning. Yesterdny Dr. W. R. Lavénder was engaged In subjecting the stomach and con- tents to a chemical analysis to see If he can detect traces of poison. This morn- 1ug, accompanied by the coroner, he will go to the cemetery and there, after the body bas been disiuterred, will make a micro- sooplc examination of the kidneys, and will also examine the throat to learn if the de- ceased could have been suffocated by the lodging of a clot of blood in the windpipe. 1t this examination does not disclase the cauce of death further examination will be made. Snleawoman Testifies. Amanda Erickson was the first witness placed upon the stand yesterday. She d In substance: “I had known Mary Peterson for several years and used to see her often, but during the two or three months Immediately preceding her death 1 seldom saw her. About three weeks ago she came Into the store where I am em- ployed and said she wanted to buy a cloak. 1 showed her several garments and as she examined them we talked of her affairs. She sald she hadn't been feeling well for ®ome time, and had tried to quit her job, but that Mr. Collins had ralsed her wages and had offered her varlous other induce- ments to remain. She said ho had promised to send her on a trip to Burope next sum- mer, and to make her a Christmas present of $50 so long as she continued in his employ. 8o, she sald, she had made up her mind to stay with him as long as he lived. “I sald, ‘You are foolish to do that, Mary. I wouldn't make any such promise as that to a man I didn’t intend to marry.’ ‘Well,' she sald, ‘I haven't any home, and he has always been very kind to me and I don’t see that I can do better.' And then #he put her handkerchief to her eyes and burst out crying.” Mrs. C. J. Westerdahl, 1717 Burt street, ‘who had been called to watch the body while Mr. Collins went to summon the coroner, was next called to the stand. After de- scribing the position of the remains and the circumstances under which she saw them, she said: It looked to me as if the woman had been murdered and her body placed in that position. This was elther the case or else she dled or was uncon- sclous before she fell, as otherwise her arms would not have been doubled up under her body, but would have been thrown out to break the force of her fall.” This was also the testimony of John Van Buskirk, a young man who rooms at the Westerdahl home, and who accompanied Mrs. Westerdahl to the scene of the fatality. He added: “I remarked as soon 1 saw her, ‘Could she have fallen and struck her head against something?’ ‘No,' Mrs. Wes- terdahi answered, ‘that can't be, because there's no furniture or other hard object anywhere near her.' " He concurred in Mrs. Westerdah!'s opin- fon that the body had the appearance of baving been placed there after death. lda Carlson's Story. 1da Carlson, who appears to have been the most Intimate friend of the deceased, teld of the latter's asseciation with Wil Stone, the young man who was on the wit- ness stand Thursday. She eal “She told me of Will Stone's taking her to the waiters' ball one night, I think it was early in February. “Stone was drinking, and during the course of the evening got into trouble with & policeman in the bar room under the hall and was arrested. That was why he didn't relations which had existed | BIDDING FOR MARKET STALLS Hall is Thronged with deners Seeking Privie legen Two hundred market gardeners crowded into the office of the Board of Public Works yesterday. The annual auction of mar- ket stalls was beld and the crush was worse than at the advance sale of seats for Mme. Bernhardt's performance. Willlam Coburn, secretary of the Board of Public Works, acted as auctioneer. The prices secured for stalls was much fn excess of that paid last year. The first eighteen stalls sold brought $900. Last year the en- tire receipts of the auction were about $1,000 for the 168 locations offered to bidders. Among the crowd of sturdy gardeners wera three women—Mrs. Albert Mohr, Mrs P. Samdlin and Mrs. Frank Stratbucker These women elbowed thelr way among t struggling men and secured places near the auctioneer. Thelr high-pitched volces were heard frequently among the bassos who took part in the vidding. The first cholce of stalls was sold for $80. The bidding started at $25, but the price was advanced rapldiy and J. F. Wilcox walked off with the plum at $80. Several stalls brought $65 each. The highest price pald last year was $35. Besides paying for locations the people who sell vegetables iIn the market are charged a fee of 10 cents for each day they offer their produce for sale. SAME OLD STORY AGAIN ity Gave County Attorney and Others File Answer in Case Already George W. Shields, I. J. Dunn, Miles Mitchell and P. J. King have filed their answer to the petition of Edward Rose- water, In which they are charged with conspiring to harass and annoy the peti- tloner by causing his frequent arrest on re- peated charges of violating the corrupt prac- tices law. Judge Fawcett, after hearing wrguments of counsel, granted a temporary injunction in the case a couple of weeks ago, by which the defendants are re- strained from filing numerous informations agalnst Mr. Rosewater, while all the charges which they have to make against him may be joined in one action. In the opinion of the court it is the duty of the county attorney and his deputies to join all the charges in one action, and their failure to do o Indicated & desire on thelr part to persecute and annoy Mr. Rosewater While the court has already ruled upon the chief point, the case has not been finally disposed of and for that reason the de- fendants have put in an answer. The defendants repeat in thelr latest document the charges they have heretofore made agalnst Mr. Rosewater. In sub- stance they assert that he distributed money among numerous voters of the democratic faith in South Omaha to induce them to work for the republican legislative candi- dates, who were pledged to support him in his candidacy for United States senator.

She remarked at the time that this was the $10 she had been ing with the intention of buying young 8tone an overcoat." The witness added that she never llked to call on Mary Peterson at the house for the reason that Mr. Collins acted as If ho didn't ke to have her entertain callers. “He acted grouchy and would never speak to me when he would see me there,” sho 1d. She kiew nothing as to the relations etween Mr. Collins and his servant furthor than that she bad heard Mary speak of his being kind.

ORDERS NEW STREET CARS ¥irat Delivery of Twenty Open Cars Will Be Made About the Middie of May. ol W. A. Smith, general manager of the Omaha Street Rallway company, has re- turned from the east, where he went in quest of cars to take the place of those consumed in the Harney street fire. Ho found great diffculty in making contracts tor early delivery and only succeeded in ar- ranging for the delivery of twenty cars in May, the earliest time in which any could be deltvered. The cars contracted for will be summer cars of the same type as thosa already used by the company. They will probably be ready for the track by the mid dle of May. Despite reports to the contrary, the com- pany has not yet decided as to & building to take the place of the one destroyed. There has been some talk of building on Vinton street and of rebullding on the Harney street site. No conclusion has been reached and nothing will be done until the work of adjusting the insurance has been completed, While there is no hitch in the settlement, 80 far as known, cousiderable time will elapse before the matter fs adjudicated and untjl that time all talk of probable action on the part of the company is premature and unauthorized, according to the state- ments of officers of the company. —— MARINE BAND IS COMING Auditorium Com ee Makes a Nota- fon, 10th and Marcy. Tol. 629. ad on At a special meeting of the auditorium committee yesterday it was decided to sgoure the United States Marine band for two engagements In this city on April 4 Colonel Leigh Lynch, business manager of the band, was in the city yesterday, wmaking dates for the band. He had been in Lincoln, where he secured an engagement for April 3, and, finding the next day va- cant, came to Omaha, calling upon Pre dant Sanborn of the Auditorlum company. The manager stated that the band had seoured permission from the secretary of the navy to leave Washington for a five weeks' tour of the country, after the ins augural ceremunies March 4, and that its (tinerary was now practically arranged. He said that the band consists of seventy- four pleces and that sixty-two would ac- company the band on this trip. The ques- tion of terms was arranged egsily and the bapd will make its appearance for a mati- neg and evening performance April 4. It 18 estimated that the auditorium committee Wil clear at least $2,500 on the engagement, /making popular prices for both occasions. /At the meeting yesterday a subseription tor $1,000 was recelved from J.

When the matter was brought before the board of governors of the Knights of Ak- Sar-Ben that body unanimously agreed with the proposition and the question which now confronts the committee is to provide for the festival soclety. The union of forces is not only indorsed by the members of the board nf governors, but by the general public. H. J. Pentold, who {s a member of both organizations, sald “There Is no doubt in my mind that there should be but one head in the management of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, the fall fes- tivities and the auditorium. All three are port from the same people, and they could be better managed under one head than tbrough three separate channels. It is my opinlon that the matter will eventually re- sult in this.” Other interviews are as follows: John Latenser—If you would make the auditorium the &uccess which we expect, there must be no combinations with other socleties. Make the bullding an auditorium pure and simple and keep the other thing out of it. If, however, financial necessity requires, a union of forces might be advisable rather than to bave no buflding. Fred Paffenrath—A union between the societles s the logical conclusion of the existing conditions. If the auditorium is to be but a single room it will be dead property for many months in the year. With the socleties united the bullding can be made to produce a revenue. John Utt—Unite the socleties by all means, or rather let there be co-operation. They are both good things and why should they not work together for the common interest? J. F. Carpenter—I think it would be a good plan for the knights to have a home in the auditortum. They Will help pay the expenses. G. W. Hoobler—I am much in favor of having a place in the building for the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. We should have a source of revenue aside from the occasional entertainments which will fill the big hall. F. E. Sanborn—United action on the part of both societies is the only thing to do. There is no ground for debate on the proposition. “New Orleans for the Tourist” 1s the title of an illustrated booklet, Is- | sued by the Illinols Central railroad, de- | oribing the points of interest in New Or- leans, La.
