APPEALS THE PORTER- CASE ~ State Files its Brief in Buit to Recover Marks and Brands Fees. DECISION MAY LET OTHER ROADS OUT Be Ended. (From a 8taft Correspondent.) | LINCOLN, May 22.—(Special)—The al- (Jeged retention of state funds by former Becretary of State Porter is again brought o the attention of the public by the filing today of an extensive brief and argument $n the supreme court. The showing is made in the case wherein the state Is seek- ng to recover from Porter or his sureties approximately $1,500 paid into his office as foes for the registration of cattle brands, but mever accounted for. Porter admits that he appropriated the money to his own use, but puts forth a plea somewhat sim- “"ilar to that urged in the Meserve case. In the district court Judge Frost decided that he had no right to take the money, but that, having taken it, he could net be com- lled to pay it back to the state. The law under which Porter was acting & member of the Brand and Marks com @ission provided that each registration fee ©f $1.50 be divided into five equal parts, the three members and the secretary of state each to get one part and the remain- ing fth to be for expenses of the commis- slon. Under this law Porter collected $4,619. Out of the sum he paid to each of the three members 20 per cent, §623.80, $2,771.40 to all, and retained $928.30 in addition to his annual salary, which is limitsd by the con- stitution to $2,000. The incidental expense fund under the statue was likewise 20 per cent of the entire amount collected, or $523.80. Out of the latter he paid fnci- dental expenses to the extent of $328.75. There remained, therefore, in the incidental pense fund $595.05. This latter sum Por- 'hr pald to §. E. Starrett n addition to & “monthly salary of $100, drawn from tho state treasury under a leglslative appro- priation for his services as a clerk in the office of the secretary of state. These facts, Porter's election and qualification and his officlal bond, are fully and formally set forth in the petition and admitted by a Joint demurrer of all defendants. The state sued Porter for $596.05 pald to Btarrett and for $923.50 retained by Porter, the two items amounting to $1,518.85. May Effect Other Rallroad Cases. 4 The action of the supreme court in dis. missing the case of the State against The Missouri Pacific Rallroad may be later held to apply similarly to the state's cases against the Union Pacific and the Rock Island railroads. These three actions were begun by the popocratic trust-smashing at- torney general to recover magnificent sums “from the ratiroads because of violations of the maximum freight rate law, notwith standing this law had in effect been held unconstitutional by the Ugjted States su- preme court because it constituted a re- straint of trade and trafic. In dismissing the Missour! Pacific case the supreme court declared that the action was in the nature of a criminal proceeding and therefore could not be started in the supreme court in original jurisqjetion. | The cases against . the Unlon Paclific ‘and the Rock Island were based on the same ground, but thus far the same question of jurisdiction has not been raised in ejther of them. 2 The Union Pacific case is now in- the ids of referees appointed about a Yyear ago and the Rock Island case has taken B rnoet . the federal o ;-.u #ame question I8 now ra 3 of them and the decision in the Missour! Pacific case is adhered to the result will be the dismissal of Loth of th ‘With these two cases off the docket all of the apti-trust and anti-railroad litiga- tion ‘instituted by the fusion attorney ge: eral will have gone glimmering. In dismissing the Missouri Pacific case the court does not pass upon its merits, but says simply that as it is a crimioal pro- ceeding it can have no place as an original action in the supreme court. X Contract Held to Be Valid. In an oplalon delivered by the supreme sourt, a contract between a husband and bis wife, made in Cuming county, was held vold on the ground that it was contrary to public policy. Milk Brun, sr., a farmer, owning considerable personal property, be- tame enamopred of a widow who owned & farm which was about to be sold under mortgage foreclosure, and he proposed that Shey marry. As & part of the agreement be offered to buy In the farm at the fore- slosure sale, advising her to make no con- test. She acted upon this suggestion. Mr. Brun purchased the farm and the marriage seremony was duly solemnized. In the sourse of time the woman's children, among whom were two boys, concelved the ides that the farm purchased by their stepfather Was still a possession of their mother and lhemselves. The mother was induced te take a similar view and matrimonial bhap- piness was soon &t an end. Divorce pro- seedings were flually Instituted by the wife, in which she asked that the farm, although ite legal title was held by her husband, be feclared equitably to be hers. Pending the [vorce suit a contract between the two was le. It provided on the part of the wife he withdraw the sult for divorce, and on the part of the husband that he transfer the farm back to his wife, and that the two continue their relations as husband and wife. A year or so later, when the tax assessor visited the homestead Mrs. Brun nuously insisted ' upon having both the rsonal property and real estate assessed In her name. An attempt on the part of Prun to convince his wife that he still ewned the personal property precipitated s vhvsical encounter with a stepson, in 4which Brun was worsted and driven from the farm. Later Brun Instituted proceed- ings for divorce, and asked to have the title to the land placed. back io his name.

Beard May Come to Nebraska. Chief Hayes of the Kansas City police force last night wired Chief Hoagland of this city that Beard, allas lnman, might be brought back here If the authorities wished to try him for complicity In the GillHan murder. St. Paul officers wanted Beard on the charge of murdering Policeman Mayer, but it is supposed that they have given the matter up and will allow the prisoner to come to Lincoln. Detective Malone is confident the prisoner is guilty and there is a witness in the city who saw the men running away from the scene of the crime last August. By this witness it s expected that Beard can be identified.

SUCCESSFUL AT THE FOURTH ATTEMPT Witness and A t Jahnke Desired Vietim Out of the Way in Order to Get His Property and Life Insurance. ALLIANCE, Neb., May egram.)—District court county convened In this city Monday, but nothing startling took place until this afternoon, when the case of the State of Nebravka against August Jahnke for the murder of Michael Bierks brought out a confession from Oliver Olson, who is charged as an accessory to the erime. Ol- confession is as follows: ‘e had entered Into an agreement to kill Mike Sierks and I was to have half of the-old man's life insurance for which the beneficiary apd a share in ate which was by previous inducement also devised to Jahnke. We made three attempts upon his lite which were unsuccessful. The first time we let him fall into a 120-foot well onto a plece of pipe projecting four feet from the bot- tom. The second time we put corrosive sublimate in his coffee at two different times, but this falled, as the old man vomited it all up and we played sick, placing the cause with the whisky we had been drinking. The third to shoot him with revolver, and he was gotten drunk and forced to stagger in front of the revolver in my hands, which I discharged, apparently by accident, hut the shot miscarried and went under bis arm, falling to do the work. The last and successful attempt was well planned. Jahnke said to me: ‘We will have to shoot him with a shotgun.' We came to town and procured a gun and went back. The next morning, as Mike was at the breakfast table, I got the gun and loaded it in an adjoining room and returned, and as I came out of the door behind the old man I pulled the hammer and let the vhole eharge into his back, whereupon Jahnke shouted: ‘Come, help me, Mike is shot!* " On cross-examipation Olson sald he was under the hypnotic influence of Jahnke, who is his brother-in-law. Court adjourned after this confession @ntil tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Judge W. H. Westover is presiding. Much Interest, as well as indignation, reigns in this city over the deed, which seems to be & premeditated murder for the sake of a few paltry dollars. After the killing Olson and Jahnke fled when suepicion was directed to them and there was some talk of lynching. They were arrested at York and when the sherift of Box Butte county came for them sought to gain their freedom on a writ of habeas corpus, but falled and were taken back to Alliance for trl JUDGE JESSEN FOR GOVERNOR Chosen by Otoe County Republicans ~ and Names Delegates to State Convention. 22.—~(Special Tel- for Box Butte NEBRASKA CITY, Neb.,, May 22.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—The “meeting of the re- publican county convention which met in Syracuse today was marked by the most complete harmony and good will and at no time was there any evidence of friction.
