THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, APRIL 4 1902 ATTACKS FELLOW MEMBEkfl Lancaster Oonnty Commissioner Brings Legal Proceedings. MARK TILTON IS THE ACCUSER W. Wel- De- cifies A, D. Borgelt and G Offenders ton s and achment May < 1 clares Tmp w. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 3.—(Special Telegram.)— Proceedings will be begun in the district eourt tomorrow to set aside a contract awarded by the Lancaster county commis- ploners to C. G. Sheely ot Lincoln for sup- plying apd repairing bridges in the county during the ensuing year. The information will be given by Mark Tilton, a member of the county board, and complaint will be made against A. D. Borgelt and G. W Welton, the other members. Mr. Tilton pays impeachment proceedings againet Bor- gelt and Welton may be instituted later. The charges are of a sensational nature. Numerous irregulgrities in the awarding of eontracts are alleged. Basia for Rhea's Appeal. The action of the supreme court on Rhea's motion for a rehearing has left cpen for dis- pute the grave question of whether or not & man committing murder during the per- tration of a robbery can be convicted of murder in the first degree. Rhea, with other men, entered a saloon in Snyder, Neb., and demanded all persons therein to throw up thelr hands. One of the trio then rifled the cash register of its contents and during the commisston of the robbery Rhea shot and killed Herman Zahn, the Keeper of the place. A third man remained ou the sidewalk In front of the salobn anl participated in the robbery by preventing the bartender from escaping through the window. The evidence, it was maintained by the state's attorney: showed conclu- sively that robbery was intended. The statute under which Rhea was con- victed and sentenced to be executed was severely questioned as to the provision which was held by the attorneys for the state to provide for conviction in the first gree where it is shown that the murder was committed during the commission of & robbery. This contention was supported by Judges Sullivan and Holcomb. In a memorandum filed by Judge Sedgwick the opposite position is taken. The expression of Judge Sedgwick will be one of the grounds upon which the plea for executive cleméncy will be made. Judge Sedgwick's Dissenting Opinion. Dissenting from the majority of the court, Judge Sedgwick sald: “The trial court instructed the jury that the uninten- tional and accidental killlng of a human belng is murder in the first degree, as at the time of the killing the defendant was engaged in attempting to perpetrate a rob- bery upon the person of the said deceased This was the rule of common law, and many of the atates bave adopted it by statute. Many of the severe rules of the common law have been modified by our statutes upon the theory that crimes are not prevented by too severe penalties. Some of the states have refused to legalize the taking of human life as a punishment for .crime. The tendency has been and is toward the adoption of more humane rather than more severe penalties. We have mo common law crimes In our state. No man can be punished for crime except in per- sudmce of a plain statute defining crime and providing for the punishment. “The language of the statute construed by ‘the instruction referred to is: ‘If amy person shall purposely and -of deliberate and premeditated malice or in the perpe- tration or attempt to perpetrate any rape, arson, robbery or burglary or by adminis- tering poleon or causing the same to be done, kill another * * * every person 50 oftending shall be deemed guilty of murder in the first degree,’ and the instruc- tion e predicated upon.the construction of this statute in Morgan sgainst State, 51 Neb. My mind refuses to so construe the statute. The words ‘in the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any rape, arson, rob- bery or burglary’' have the same relation to the word ‘purposely’ and to all other parts of the section that the words ‘by ad- ministering polson or causing the same to be done’ have. After referring to three authorities that were cited by the state, Judge Sedgwick continues; “To my mind these cases seem inconsistent with each other and they cer- tainly are so unless the legidlature is with- out power to make the killing of a human belng by administering poison con- stitute murder when not done with the pur- pose of Milling. That the statute makes the same provision in precisely the same words in regard to killing while attempting | to perpetrate a robbery cannot be que tioned, so that If no purpose to kill is necessary in the case to constitute the erime of murder it certainly cannot be In the other unless it is not competent for the legislature to so provide in the ome case but ls competent in the other. But if the legislature could not make the killing by potson without the purpese to Kill mur- der, why chapge it with an attempt to do 50 when the statute is susceptible to an- AHedicine for Old People.

It this statute does not make the accidental killing of a person by ad- ministering poison murder in the first de- gree, then by .the same construction a homicide committed in the perpetration of robbery murder in the first degree unless the killing was purposely done.” Striet Rales for During one brief session this morning the Excise board of this city rejected ons application for saloon license, adopted a rule prohibiting the sale of liquor in any form whatever in drugstores, and proposed a rule to exclude all billlard, pool and other tables, irrespective of their kind, shape or use, and all chairs, excepting one for each proprietor, from every saloon in the city. Thé actions were taken without much loss of time through discussion and the twenty- five or thirty saloon kecprs who were pres- ent left the buflding wondering what wcull happen next. The rule to exclude tables and chairs from the saloons was proposed by Exciseman Finney and will come up for consideration at the next regular meeting of the board. Mr. Fnney declares the board will insist on the enforcement of every provision of the Slocum law. Only Alcohol in Drug Stores. Under the rule adopted by the board drugstores may sell alcofol and wood alco- hol but they are not allowed to keep any other intoxicating diquid in their stock. the mere presence thereof being declared prima facle evidence that it is kept for sale Milton McCoogan had filed an application for permission to conduct a saloon at 122§ N street. A remonstrance was presented by John E. Miiler, of the Miller & Paine department store. A few remarks were heard but no sworn testimony was taken Exciseman Fioney moved to refect the ap- plication. The roll was called and the board unanimous in favor of the motion. “How long have I got to appeal?’ asked McCoogan. “You can't appeal,” quickly replied Ex- ciseman Woods. Anti-Saloon League Waits. At the meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Anti-Saloon league of this city today It was decided not to take any steps towards a contest of the vote on the pro- hibition proposition in the city election until after the official canvass is completed. The committee thought there bad been con- siderable fraudulent voting in the First ward but it wa8 conceded that the evidence at hand would not warrant the commence- ment of contest proceedings. The vote wili be canvassed by the city council next Mon- day evening. Honors to Colonel Davenport. Information was received at the state house th's morning of the death of Colonel E. J.

FEWER STRAIGHT SCORES Number of Wing Shots with “No Miss” Grows Smaller. GILBERT AND CROSBY ARE STILL PERFECT Veteran Elliott Has a Blank or Two Marked Up, Thus Precluding His Recapturing the Cham- plonship Trophy. KANSAS CITY, April 3.—At the close of the second day of the Grand Amerlcan handicap at Blue River park, the number of wingshots with straight scores had been | materially teduced. Of the 143 who had | not missed a bird when the shooting stopped | yesterday, elghty-nine dropped out today, | leaving fty-four who still have a straight | score. | Forty-four of the ffty-four high meu have shot sixteen rounds. When the shoot: | ing stopped this evening there were fifty- six men who had shot twelve rounds and among them were ten shooters with a straight score. | On account of rain during the early part of the day, the shoot did not start until 11 o'clock and darkness came before all of the shooters could make the round of the | four traps twice. The fifty-six shooters who | did not finish the sixteen rounds today will | be the first to face the traps tomorrow.| There will be many withdsawals tomorrow and the race may be decided before the day Is over. The weather today was dis- agreeable and It had much to do with the scores that were made. It was a cold, raw | day, and the shooters were thoroughly | chilled. A hard northeast wind blew across | the park and unless a high fiyer was hit| hard, it was blown out of bounds. The birds were fast and hard to bring down. | Crosby, Gilbert and Elliott Stars. Great interest was centered in the whoot- | Ing of the three scratch or thirty-two-yard | men, Crosby, Elllott and Gilbert. Crosby, | who is shooting in perfect form, grazed all of the birds with ease and used only one barrel on several of them. Gilbert also had a straight score up to date, but he | had two narrow escapes today. His tenth bird, a strong left' quarterer, was blown against the boundary net and luckily fell ineide. One of his birds was a fast straight outfiyer and in shooting at it both barrels of his gun were discharged at once and it was called “no bird.” He missed it and would have had a difficult shot for a second barrel. - Elliott, the Kansas City crack, missed his tenth bird. The wind was blowing a gale and the bird, a left quarterer, went over the left boundary line like a flash. A Mrs, 8. H. Johrson of Minneapolis, who has won many admirers at this tourna- ment, had & stralght score at the end of the ninth round, bt she lost her tenth and twelfth birds. Annie Oakley did not mis a bird today, but she falled to make a straight score yesterday. ‘“Wenonah," the other woman participating in the shoot, missed three birds today. Fail to Make Clean Scores. Among those who falled to keep up their record of stralght kills were: J. 8. Fan- ning of Jersey City, N. J., Christ Gottlieb of Kansas City, George Tucker of Bren- ham, Tex., Walter Spencer of St. Loulg, W. A. Baker of Griffin, Ga., “Farmer Burke of Elgin, Neb., and C. E. Cresby of O'Fal- lon, 1L “Farmer Burke' killed every bird he shot at since the tournament began Mo day until he faced the traps in the ninth ropnd today. He missed his ninth and twifth birds. Baker of Georgia was con- sidered a possible winner by many of the Goutherners until he missed his tenth bird. Among those who still bave a straight score, besides Crosby and Gilbert, are: Ed Banks of New York, Sim Glover of New York and R. O. Helkes of Dayton, O. As there are sixty-three moneys to be | divided, it is certaln that all of the win- ners will not haye a straight score, but no one who kills less than twenty-four birds will receive any part of the purse.
