Porter and are particularly pleased In view of recent disclosures made to Deputy County Attorney Abbott in the afdavits of Willlam H. Duquette and his Julia, of 2519 Parker street. These aMdavits tell of an alleged effort to buy false aMdavits against Albert Edbolm, ac- ocusing the latter of unmentionable offenses 1n an effort to dissuade him from pressing s the prosecution of Porter. In addition to the indictment for ding Obscene matter through the mails, returned against him by the federal grand jury, the district ‘grand jury returned three against him, two for Ilbel contained In. circulars je {8 supposed to have sent out and in an fele he had published in a South Omaha paper, and one for assault with Intent to do great bodily injury to Mr. Edholm. Fred M. Hans, a rallroad detective who had been the hero of some of Porter's news valettes contributed to eastern publica- mfi’ of yellow. persuasion, went his bail for 31,600 and Porter was to appear for trial during the February term of the dis- trict eourt, which closed last week. Porter fafled to appear and now Hans says he Is Just as anxlous the officials to find the absentee. The fact that the indictments ‘were knocked out by the recent ruling that the grand jury’s work was lnvalid does not, Attorney Abbott states, affect Porter's re- sponsibiiity until he has appeared in court lzere That's why they there’s life there's hope case ever since Porter's attack on Edholm, brought Duquette and his wife to Deputy Abtot office and a stenographer there took the testimony of both concerning the Porter afMdavits. Duquette said that he was formerly a lineman with the Long met Porter nearly two years ago through Fred Han The rest of his story, is, in substance, as follows: In the course of a chance meeting, July 18 last, Porter sald to him that he had “bad a little trouble over sending obscene matter through the malls and guessed he would go to Kansas City.” Early in the evening of January 7 they again met acel- denfally at Twenty-fourth and Seward - ts and Porter, who was on his way to Hane' house; said he bad to Mave evi- dence collected for his case. An hour later he called at Duquette's house to tell Duquette that if he could collect the evi- dence he (Porter) wanted there woudld money in it, but he did not give the detalls in the presence of the family. He called agaln a week later, and, in the course of this call disclosed that his plan was prepared, accusing Edholm, such afidavits to be shown by his attor- neéy to Bdholm's attorney in the hope that Edbolm = would deaist from appearing againet him rather than endure & public parading of the charges.

I understand you are a friend of Fred Han d Hans has referred you to me, saying that anything you aid or started to do you went through with and came out best. You're just the kind of a man I want.” Duquette repeated that he wouldn’t sign and that his wife had refused to have anything to do with it. Porter asked to have the afMdavit back and Duquette sald he had burned it. Detective Has Other Evidence. He had not burned it, however, and De- tective Donohoe secured it a few days later ‘when called into Edholm' ore, where the Duquettes had called to let Edholm know what Porter was doing. Donohoe stated yesterday that he knows of two other wood. The testimony of Mrs. Duquette is largely corroborative of that of her hus- band, as given above. At the federal bullding Assistant District Attorney Rush sald: “The Porter case will be called next week and if the defendant 1s not present we will declare the bond for- feited and immediately proceed against the bondsmen. We had decided to let the state bave the first trial at the man, but if it is to let the matter drag along we will take a hand right awa I think we will be able to locate him and then we will bave the active stance of the bondsmen, as they will certainly be held accountable to the government for his appearance.” NEW PRESIDENT STEPS IN Successor to Rafael Iglesias Inaugu- r Peaceful Condi- s Ries, BAN JOSE, Costa Rica, May 9.—Asunsion Eequivel was inaugurated president of Costa Rica today.

AUTOPSY PERFORMED DESPITE PROTEST Examination of Body Held During Absence of Judge Eller and Against Protest of Dead Boy's Siater. At 10 yesterday morning Dr. W. R. Lav- ender went to the home of Judge Eller for the purpose of making a post mortem ex- amination of the body of Donald Eller. Judge Eller was absent from home at the time and the doctor was refused admittance to the room where the body lay. Coroner Bralley jolned the doctor soon after and insisted on being allowel to hold a post mortem. Miss Leone Eller, the judge's daughter, asked them to wait till her father, who had been telephoned for, should re- turn, but they declined. On being refused the key, Coroner Bralley forced the door to the room where the body lay and Dr, Lav- ender performed the autopsy. Dr. Lavender gave it as his opinion that the boy died from peritonitis, the result of appendicitis. The coroner and doctor left the premises before the return of Judge Eller. Miss Eller's Story. Miss Eller stated that when Coromer Bralley arrived she informed him that her father had gone to town, but would be back in twenty-five minutes. “I told him that I would not admit him to the room during my father’s absence,” sald Miss Eller, “but that they could wait until his return. The coroner said, ‘We are in a hurry, and I know what he will say anyhow, so we will £0 on with the examination.’ He then asked me for the key to the room and I refused \t. He pulled the bolt on the door and openad it without breaking the lock. Both the doctor and the coroner then went into the room and examined the body. Presently the coroner came out and asked me for some water to wash his hands, and I gave it to him, with the understanding that I was not assisting him. Later he came for a bowl of water and sald he wanted to clean up the muss they had made In the room. I re- fused him this and told him to let the muss remain. They did so. While the men were here my brother went across the street to the telephone and called for father and was told that he would be at home as soon as he could get here. I insisted on the Gor- oner walting until his arrival, assuring bim that father would be here in twenty-five minutes. He refused, however, and went on with the examination. Besides myselt there was a brother and & nurse at the house.” On returning home Judge Eller met the coroner and Dr. Lavender within a block of his home, golng to town.

The judge was with his son, who had walted for him at Fortieth and Leavenworth street and who was telling him of the action of the coroner when the men met. A few minutes later Judge Eller was seen at his home. He was very indignant at the ac- tion of the coroner. Judge Eller's Statement. “I expect to protect my rights as a citi- zen,” sald the judge, “‘and I intend to make the stand right now. No coromer has a right to touch a body without the consent of the family, and when my door was forced open the law was broken. A coroner can view a body and that is all. A coroner had no right to hold an inquest on a body over the protest of the family, unless the coroner believed that murder has been committed. They bad no right to enter here and muti late the body of my son and the law was clearly broken. Anyone who reads the statute can easily see that. I am ready at any time to obey a writ lssued from a court according to law, but I am not ready to obey orders which bave mo law back of them. I have been' harassed for the last three years on account of my bellef and I intend to stop right now and make a stand. Remember, I am not speaking for the church and the church is not responsible for what I do. My religion is the religion of my mother, and my wife and I am golng to stand by it. “I went out of my office for a few minutes this morning and when I returned my office girl told me that some one had called up and asked for me, sayin ‘This is the coroner.” The girl told him that I would be at home In a few minutes. ‘Tell him he is & d—d brute,’ said the voice, and the man rang oft. I got home as quickly as I could and have just learned what was done. 1 sball see whether a man cah come into my house and force doors and mutilate the body ef my son,” comtinued the judge. “They have broken the law and I shall see Iam to h my rights as a citizen The judge sald there was no law in Nebrasks in regard to a person dying from neglect. Will Prevent an Inquest. When asked if he would allow the coroner to hold an inquest and what course he intended to pursue if an imquest was attempted Judge Eller sald: “I will not say what I intend te do at this time, but I will say this: I intend to be at home from now on and it is very likely that no inquest will be held.” Dr. Lavender stated that he was not sure whether the boy's life could have been saved by a physician or not. “An operation would have been necessary and even this, Wednesday night, would have done no good. Had a physician seen the boy at first when he had appendicitis an operation might ha ved him, but of course there is no When informed of the doctor’s statement Judge Eller said: “I am glad to hear him say that; it gives me great reliet.” MAY IRWIN IS NOT COMING ckness Compels Her to Forego An- Because of her .sudden (lness Omaha patroms of the theater will not have the pleasure of seeing rotund, jovial May Irwin this season.

Hundreds of High school students and thelr parents and friends crowded into the lower hallway of the new administration bullding early Friday afternoon to witness the unvelling of the new statue of Winged Victory and to hear the ceremontes in con- mection with its" presentation to the High school by the class of '02, the senlors who graduate this year. 8o large was the assemblage that the crowd overflowed the hallway and extended up the stairways and down the corridors. Watson Smith, president of the senlor class, made the presentation speech in brief and neatly worded phrases and the response came from A. H. Waterhduse, principal of the High school. Miss Mary Bedwell, vice president of the class, unvelled the statue, which proved to be of herolc proportions and handsome and imposing as well. It will be left permanently in the center of the main hall, where it stood during the an enduring monument to the Ak-Sar-Ben Governors Will Probably Take in Quill Drivers This Month, The Board of Governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben have under consideration the question of inviting the editers of the papers in the Omaba territory to visit the den and become members of the order earller in the season than they were In- vited last year. A number of the mem- bers have suggested that May 26 be the date on which Nebraska editors will be shown the mysteries eurrounding the throne of the merry monarch and that on the following Monday the Iowa editors be invited. Members suggesting this plan do so, ac- cording to their statements, for the reason that it will prove better to bave the co- operation of the press In securing responses which will later be lesued to the business men of the territory covered by Omaba mercantile houses. Heretofore it has been customary to send invitations generally to merchants and others before the editors have passed the secret vell of the den and the result has been that later in the season, after the editors had been initiated many of the business men who lgnored ths invitation were ‘anxious to join. They were hospitably recelved of course, but the pleasure would have been greater had they gone through with the party from their city or community. The question of the souvenirs of the year's work may be settled at the meeting of the board to be held Monday evening preceding the work at the den. Several designs have been submitted and the committee to whom the matter was referred may be ready to report at that time. . It is probable that at the meeting at the den Monday evening the buttons which are to be worn by the members of the order this year will be ready for distribution. The company making them expected to have them on hand in time for the first night, but wrote that they would be ready for de livery some time this week. These buttons are highly ornamental, the design showing fully the object of the society and the hopes of its managers. During the week the rit- ual committee will arrange for a speaker o*nolu to be present Monday and notice of his engagement will be given. It is in- tended to make these weekly addresses a ture of the evening's entertainment. NOT QUIET AT BABY FARM The case of Mrs. Burget, charged with cruelty to two bables in her charge, was called yesterday and after the testimony of several witnesses was heard, was con- tinued. The substance of the testimony was that Mrs. Burget had frequently spanked bables 3 weeks old, had given them too much paragoric and that on one occasion she had spanked an obstreperous young miss of 3 weeks and had then thrown it in & bed. One witness stated that the bables were given no attention during the night and the two bables in question had sores on their backs from neglect.
