Y REPUBLICANS SAVE TAXPAYERS MONEY Cheek to Fusion Family Raid on the Treasury to the Extent of One Hundred Th i, | ’ Dollars. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 15.—(Special.)—The fate of Willlam Rhea, convicted of the murder ot Herman Zahn, once more depends upon the judgment of the supreme court. In the trial court he was found gullty in the first degree and the supreme court last month afirmed the decision, setting April 25 as the day of execution. Through his attorneys Rhea now asks for a rehearing. The murder was committed in a saloon near Fremont, Herman Zahn, the keeper of the place, being fatally shot during an encounter and an attempted holdup. The attorneys for the defendant contend that as the shooting occurred during a riot the verdict of gullty in the first degree Is econtrary to law, it not being shown that the murder was premeditated. The atten- tion of the reviewing court is called to the following instruction which the judge was requested to give to the jury: “The court instructs you that proof of robbery after the shooting of Herman Zahn 18 not proof that the accused, Willlam Rhea, intended to rob him at the time of such snooting. If the shooting occurred an incident of an angry dispute or alter- eation between others, in which the ac- lcused, Willlam Rhea, became embroiled, and the said accused simply did the shoot- ing under the excitement incident to such broil and without any purpose to rob, up o that time, but, after the shooting, formed the purpese to rob, then the accused would be within the requirement of the words; and, unless the evidence satisfles you be- yond a reasonable doubt, that is to say a moral certainty, that the accused actually had the purpose or intention to rob at the time of the shooting, In the sense above in this inetruction mentioned, t! under the requirement of sald words in sald sec- tion 3 of our criminal code, you have no |right to find the accused gullty of murder 1n the first degre Excuse for Asking Reversal. Judge Grimson, before whom Rhea was tried, declined to give the foregoing In- struction to the jury and his refusal is now made the chief reason for asking the supreme court to reverse the judgment. Arguing the case further along this conten- tion, the attorneys for Rhea say: “A very casual reading of the evidence of Teresa Willlams, called by us, and of our cross-examination of a number of the state’s witnesses, will show that the de- fense, and only defense for Rh that we tried to make upon the trial, s that he had beem drinking heavily during the night before and morning of the day of the shooting and had continued to imbibe during the afternoon of the evening of the shooting, and being in an excitable condi- tion from such drinking he became em- broiled in a diepute with men outside of the saloon in which the shooting occurred, and with those men rushed into the saloon in the course of the broil and did the walsts or mesh net, ST.

That up to that time there was nothing to indicate an in- tent te rob, no preparation for fight, and nothing prepared necessary to insure suc- coss In a robbery; and that the robbery, *f such the ‘was, thought, an. incident of the drunken condition of Rhea and his companions, further excited by the dispute outside, rether than an orig- inal design to rob, and hence that the cvidence was not clear or convincing .aat Rhea intended to rob at the time he shot Zahn." Large ving to Taxpayers. The cost of maintaining the various state institutions under the first year of the republican administration compared with the last year of the fusioni represents & saving to the taxpayers of more than $100,000. ‘When the republicans a among the first things done W tain Low many friends and relatives of fu- sion officials were being kept at the In- stitutions at the expense of the state. It was found that in some institutions the number reached as high as twenty-two and that the total number was abeve 200. One fusion official had » family of thirteen and when he moved into the institution he not only took his entire family with him, but sons-in-law and two abuses discovered. cated the executive chair before he had time to formulate a remedy, but Governor Savage took the matter up and at his so- Meitation an order was promulgated by the Board of Public Lands and Bulldings requiring all but the minor children’ of superintendents to vacate and leave the fnstitution. This alone, based on the per capita cost of keeping each person at these fnstitutions, resulted in a net saving last year of more than $40,000. The Poynter administration closed with unpaid bills amounting to more than $140,- 000, and to pay these bills the last legisl ture had to make a deficlency appropria- tion in a corresponding amount. On this polnt Governor Savage informed the heads of the imstitutions that they would be required to manage their institutions so as to keep within the limits of the appropria- tions and that he would hold all officials personally responsible for any violation of this command. He also sald that while he would countenance no deficlency the in- mates must receive a little better care than they had ever before received. While the attitude of the administration ed some unrest among institution offi- it has nevertheless resuited In a large saving to the taxpayers, and for the first time in° many years the state institu- tlons are being maintained within the ex- pense fixed by the legislature. Thus far not one of the institutions has expended even its full quota of the appropriation and the indications are that instead of a large deficlency there will be at the end of the blennium a fair sized surplus.

ATTORNEY GENERAL PREPARES THE BRIEF Claims Supreme Court Has No Jurl diction Over Executive, that Bein Co-Ordinate Branch of State Government. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 15.—(Special.)—The de- fense of Governor Suvage in the Omaha fire and police mondamus case will be that tle executive department, being a co- ordinate branch of the state government, is not within the jurisdiction of the su- preme court for direction or control in the | performance or exercise of executive pow- | ers. The alternative writ, commanding the governor to appear and show cause why he does not appoint a commission, is re- turnable next Tuesday, but the answer of the governor, setting forth reasons why he has not made the appointments, was filed in the office of the clerk of the court today. The reply as prepared by the attor- mey general covers not only the point of jurisdiction, but the effect of the former decision of the court in the Moores and In part the attormey gen- Answer of the Governor. > “Now comes the respondent, Ezra P. Savage, governor of the state of Nebraska, waiving none of the rights, privileges and ! immunities guaranteed to him by the constitution of the state of Nebraska, and protesting against and objecting to the jurisdiction of this court over him as such governor of the state of Nebraska, to make any order or issue any writ directed to him as such governor, commanding or directing him in any manner pertaining to the duties of his office as governor and fles this, his return, to the alternative writ of mandamus fssued to him in the above entitled cause and shows to this hon- | orable court: ““This respondent shows to this honorable court that he is the governor of the state of Nebraska, that by section 1 of article il of the constitution of t! e of Nebraska it is provided as follow “‘The powers of the government of this state are divided into three distinct de- partments, the legislative, executive and Jjudicial, and no person or collection of persons being one of these departments shall exercise any power properly belong ing to either of the others except as he: inafter expressly directed or permitted. “That by section 6 of article v of the constitution of the state of Nebraska it is provided as follows ‘The supreme ex- ecutive power sl be vested In the gov- ernor, who shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ Not Subject to Court Order. “This respondent shows to the court that under these and other provisions of the the governor of this state; he thereby be- preme executive power is vested in him as the governor of the state; he thereby be- comes the bead of the cutive depart- went of the government of this state, said department being a co-ordinate branch of the state government and is not subject to the order or direction of this court as to the manner in which the executive pow- ers are executed “He further shows to the court that tha nature of the act which the relator seeks to governmental in its character, and he de- nies the right, power or jurisdiction of this court to direct or control by mandamus or otherwise this respondent in the per- formance of any duty which does or may devolve upon him as the governor of the state—the chief of the executive depart- ment. “He further shows to the court that by the provisions of the constitution of this istate and the distribution of powers pro- vided therein this honorable court is denied the right to exercise any power properly be- longing to the executive department and he, therefore, denles the right, power or jurisdiction of this court to in any manner interfere with or direct or control this re- spondent in the exercise of executive powers or in seeing: that the laws of the state be faithfully executed. Dentes J fction in the Matter. hows to the court that upon the governor of Nebraska required by the constitution to and did ‘subscribe an oath to support the con- stitution of the state of Nebraska accord- ing to the best of his ability; that, with all due respect to a co-ordinate department of a government of this state, he denies the jurisdiction of this court over his person as governor of the state of Nebraska, denles the jurisdiction of this court over the sub- ject matter Involved herein and denies the right of this court to direct or command him any way as the governor of the state.” Continuing, the attorney general calls at- tention to the former decisions of the court in the Moores and Kennedy cases, both of which held that the governor had no legal authority to appoint fire and police commis- sioners for Omaha. As to this holding the attorney general sa; “The judgment entered was conclusive and binding upon the state of Nebraska, the governor thereof and all parties claiming title to sald office through sald governor. This respondent shows that this sald court then had jurisdiction of the subject matter of sald comtroversy and of the person of said parties and thereafter judgment was entered therein sald cause finding the fis- sues of fact and of law in favor of respond- ents therein anfl dismissing the petition of the by its attorney general. And this respondent alle, that said adjudication is and was binding and conclusive upon all parties thereto and by reason thereof the relator in this cause is estopped to insist or urge that it is the duty of this respon ent to appoint fire and police commis- sioners for the said city of Omaha. Former Judgment Still Effective. “And the governor of the state of Ne- braska was by said action adjudged not to possess the right or power to appoint a board of fire and police commissioners for the city of Omaha. This respondent alleg: that the judgments of this court heretofore entered in the two proceedings referred to in this return are still in full force and ef- fect, the same never having been vacated, reversed or set aside by this homorable court. A copy of the judgment of this court entered in the last above entitled cause s attached, herotofore, marked exhibit B, and made a part hereof. “This respondent further shows to this court that since the delision of this hon- orable court in the case of the state on the relation of Constantine J, Smyth, attorney general, against Frank E. Moores, William C. Bullard, et al., being the first proceed- ing brought by the attorney general and re- ferred to in this return, the office of the board of fire and police commissioners ot the city of Omaha has been filled and is now filled by persons appointed thereto by the mayor .of the city of Omaha and such officers have been and are mow performing the duties of such board.” GOULD FAILS TO GIVE BOND Assistant € ¥ of Platie Valley State Bank Has to Returu to Jail.

OWENS QUOTES WOODWARD Billlings Man Has Alleged Murderer's Own Tale to Tell at Casper. CASPER, Wyo., Feo. 15.—(Special.)— ‘William Owens arrived hers Thursday night trom Billings, Mont., to testity in the Woodward case.

He saw & number of strange horses in the barn, but did not know that the sheriff was there. He struck a light to pick out the best horse and just then the dogs barked and attracted the attention of Sherift Ricker, who started toward the barn from the house. Woodward saw the officer coming and, waltiog until Ricker was within ten feet of the barn, took deliberate aim and fired. Sheriff Ricker fell at the frst shot. After lylng on the ground for about ten minutes the officer called for help. Woodward then came from the barn and dragged the dying man over & little hill, where the deputies could not see him.
