THE OMAHA DAILY NEIGENFIND ADMITS GUILT! Exyresces §orrow ior His Crime and Hopes | All Wil Forgive Him. l RESTAURAMT EMPLOYES ON A STRIKE | i Electrie Line from Omaha | | i Lincoln Files Incorpora- tlon Papers. _ (From Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 5.—(Special.)—Gottlieb Neigenfind, if he is executed under his present sentence, will be hanged from the same scaffold which has done so much service in Douglas county. Sheriff Power of Omaha was in Lincoln today and made arrangements for the transfer of the prop- eriy to the penitentiary. The scaffold is wow stored in the Douglas county court- | bouse and will not be delivered until the | last minute before the time of executiom, | March 13. It is possible and also probable that Neigeniind will be granted a stay of execu- tion. While Governor Mickey will not ad- mit that he intends to interfere, he will | uot say he does mot intend to interfere. In view of the fact that a bill is now pend- ing in the senate to abolish capital pun- | isament and the fate of this bill cannot | be decided by the time of the executlon, it is thought that this fact may bave some Influence in getting for Neigenfind a re- | spite. | Today Neigenfind made a statement to his spiritual adviser, Rev. George Ailenbach, | confessing his guilt. The statement is as tollows As 1 have been In prison several months, with no prospect but death before me, | have hud both opportunity cause quietly and ampiy to reflect on that deed which 1 committed on the 1ith of Beptem- ber. and 1 now realize more fully that by hat set 1 comniited 3 fearful crime against buih Givine and human law For this 1 am hesrtily sorry, but I also | belleve (hat Jesus Is my savior and that by His blood and death He has atoned for | tids, my feariul decd, as well as for all my sins This is now my hope and strength, | tor 1 be that for Christ's sake (od | bas forgiven me | To my Savior, however, 1 also owe be- | fore 1 ale, to make this confession before mer, and that is the reason ] write this now, and 10 make use of this opportunity to beg forgiveness of all those whom, by my fearful deea, | may have harmed or of- | tended. May they forgive me as God has | torgiven and as L\PL hope for forgivenees. GOTTLIEB NEIGENFIND. Fusionist Prim es Momnday. Fusion primaries will be held Monday evening to nominate candidates for mu- alcipal offices. A meeting of leading demo- crats was held last night and it is the gen- eral opinjon that & fusion ticket would more likely land the municipal plums than a straight democratic ticket. To that end the populists democratic committees will meet Friday evening and issue calls for the primaries and the convention, the latter to be held next Wednesday. It is | #aid that sssurances have been made tho | tusion people that the Civic league would | be with them in the coming election. Il acceptable candidates are nominated it is believed the Civic league will not only as- st the fusonists in electing or attempt- Ing to elect a mayor and excise board. but in the ward fights as well. Strike in Restaurants. Between 10 ard 11 o'clock this morn- ing all the members of the cooks and wait- ers’ union went on a strike, and as a con- sequence university students were in great demand by the restaurants. The restau- rént keepers refused to sign the scale and this occasioned the walkout. It was un- esunounced beforehand, and consequently the taurant keepers and those dependent them. for their daily bread were consid« erably annoyed. About ten restaurants were affected. The unions are strong end the proprietors of the restaurants are stubborn, so it is mot possible to predict how long the strike will continue. Incorporate Electric L The Ohio syndicate which contemplates the eraction of an electric railroad from | Omaha to Lincoln and Beatrice today fled with the secretary of state its articles of \ncorporation.

Carpenter, a school teach in the village of Axtell, Kearney county, | secured a flattering vindication at the | bands of the supreme court last evening im | an opinion handed down in a case which she kad won in the local court against her | tamily physiclan, Dr. F. W. Whiting, for slander. The case was filed in Kearpey county some years since, the petition asking for damages in the sum of $10,000 because of | charges of a character affecting the young | woman's reputation. The jury gave her $475 demages. Complaint was filed against : o Ce GORHAM SILVER POLISH Guaranteed to be the best on the market by the leading silver- smiths of the world. oy ey %3 eenta & package { ana | to Rev { that he had afte | and the question of cor | walked much of the way from Nortolk to | Whiting for conduct unbecoming & physi- elan, but upon his agreement to leave the state this was not pressed ever, appealed to the supreme court and sought 1o have the judgment of the lower court reversed. He complained .that the court's instructions were erroneous and that the jury gave the plaintiff a judgment to punish him for disclosing what came to his knowledge as A physician. He pleaded as an excuse that tne girl was a teacher in both day and Sunday school and that her private life justified him in protecting the young Neither the district nor the supreme courts give him any comfort in the matter. He ix strongly condemned for his action, the supreme court says that if the judgment against him had been several times ss large it would be constrained to s make the same recommendation of affirma- | tion. Obe of Whiting's defenses, aside from the allegation that what he had sald was true, was that he had communicated the matter Harris, who was sitting up with him, end that the words were uttered while | be was delirfous and did mot know what le mas saying. The evidence, however, was rd repeated the same | charge Big Verdict AMrmed. The $15,000 judgment obtained by a line- man named Rambold against the Omaha Thomson-Houston Light company is afirmed by the supreme court. Rambold fell from a pole, and broke his left foot | and his right ankle. One of his feet had to be amputated eleven months afterward. He | claimed the accident was due to fault construction on the part of the company. ! tributory negligence | was decided In his tavor. The court also | bolds that in view of the injuries in- | flicted $15.000 is not an excessive verdict Law of Slander. ew | In the case of Larson against Cox, from Dawes county, where the plaintiff sued for | damages because of words spoken that im- | puted larceny to him, the court holds that | under section 132 of the code the truth| of spoken defamation is a complete de- fense. The lower court, says the opinion, holds that the evidence warranted the con- clusion that he did commit the offense; this being so, the judgment is right no matter whether the motives of the man | were good or the statement made for ju tifiable ends. | In the opinion Judge Sullivan discusses | the law of libel and slander at some length. | He thinks that the comstitution of 1875, when it Is said that “in all triale for libel, civil and criminal, the truth whem pub- lished with good motives and for justifiable ends, shall be a sufficient defense.” intended to place restraint upon the freedom of the press and partially repealed section 132, although the truth of a defamatory publi- cation is still a complete and perfect de- fense in criminal cases irrespeotive of motive or object of publisher. The same is true of spoken defamation. Engineers Elect Officers. At the annual meeting of the Nebraska Engineering soclety, held here today, the following officers were elected: President, Andrew Rosewater of Omaha; vice pres dent, C. R.

Neb., March 5.—(Special.) —The trial of the Lillie murder case from the time the crime was committed until the verdict of the jury was brought into court was the topic of conversation last night and today. During the progress of | the trial Mrs. Lillie stood the trying.ordeal | with more than remarkable fortitude, and | when the verdict of the jury was read she showed no signs of emotion whatever.
