ASSERT ALL ARE INNOCENT Depositions Are Read and Father of Grigware Goes on Stand to © Tell of His Son's Early Life. The government rested its case against the alleged train robbers at 2:30 Monday afternoon. Before this Thomas Fiestenberg, a ship- ping clerk of the Colt Arms company of Hartford told of the methods of packing arms for shipment from the factory to customers, and Postal Clerk Sears told fur- ther of the fragment of a plece of casting that had been shot away from the window of the postal car the night of the holdup by one of the bandits as he first looked out of the car window. The torn letter that Bill Matthews was writing In the Buhl hotel at the time of his arrest, and which he sought to destroy, was read. It was very brief and was evi- dently belng written to some one in Omaha who Matthews had asked to send him cop- fes of the Omaha papers. Mr. McFarland, attorney for Grigware, ‘Woods and Golden, then asked that certain of the government witnesses be retained for rebuttal. Judge Munger sald: “The government is not bound to keep all its witnesses here THAPTIfvely “f61 further cross-examination. The government witnesses are dlscharged by the district attorney when the fovern- ment is through with them, You should have asked for the retention of these wit- nesses before.” District Attorney Goss was of the opin- fon that a limit should be placed on the recall of the government witnesse: Attorneys Outline Defen Mr. MacFarland followed with the state- ment of what the defense proposes to prove. He began with an eulogy upon the character of Frank Grigware and a his- tory of his life prior to the time he left Spokane early in the present year. He stated further that he would be able to prove by competent witnesses that Law- rence F. Golden was not a participant in the robbery, and that all other of his cli- ents were gulltiess of the crime charged against them. He Intimated that all of the accused men would be placed on the stand and would be able to give a truthful ac- count of all their doings while In Omaha, thus completely clearing them from any gullt In the robbery of the Overland Lim- ited on the night of May 22. Mr. Fleharty, in behalf of his client, Wil- liam Matthews, stated that evidence would be forthcoming clearing him from any par- ticipation in the holdup, either directly cr indirectly, ard that he would be further able to show that Matthews had but & brief soquaintance with any of the accused men. The initial testimony for the defense was the reading of depositions taken at Spo- kane affirming the good character of Grig- ware, while Mr. Goss read the cross- examinations taken in the same depositions at the same time. All of the depositions &ave Grigware a fairly good reputation and were by a number of business men of Spokane, who had at varlous times “em- ploved Grigware since his boyhood, and covering & period up to about January 1 of the current year. The cross-examinations did not materially VR — SOME HARD KNOCKS Woman Gets Bid of “Coffee Heart.” The Injurlous action of Coffee on the heart of many persons Is well known by physiclans to be caused by caffeine. This is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea. A woman suffered & long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up coffee, as that was “the principal cause of the trouble. She Writes: “My heart was so weak it could not o its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would weem that I would never. breathe again “The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He sald I must stop It, but it seemed I could mot give it up until I was down In bed | with nervous prostration “For eleven weeks I lay there and suf- fered.

Father of Grigware Tentifies E¢gar M. Grigware, a carpenter of Spo- kane, and father of the defendant Grig- ware, was the first oral witness of the afternoon. and virtually the first witness for the defense. His testimony related to the early habits of his son, whom he char- acterized as & good boy up to his twentieth year, when he was at home practically all the time. His son is now 23 vears old. He had learned the carpenter's trade under his father and worked with him pretty regularly up to two or three years ago, when he worked for other contractors and builders in Spokane. Frank had left Spo- kane occasionally during the last three years, once to §o to the Couer D'Alene country, where he had taken up a claim. Mr. Grigware had not seen much of Frank during the last three years, and knew but little of his whereabouts when he went away from Spekane for occasional periods, Frank scldom if ever wrote home. The last that Mr. Grigware had seen of his son was in January or February of the present yeer, until he saw him in Omaha after his arrest. ‘District Attorney Goss, out of deference to Mr. Grigware's relation to the defend- ant, did not press a rigid cross-examination. Earlier Evidence. At the morning session of court Sheriff C. W. Dyer of Twin Falls, Idaho, was re- called to identify the handwriting of Bill Matthews. Thy defense seriously objected to this evidence, but the objcctions were overruled and certain alleged letters of Matthews were admitted in evidence. James Stevens, chief train dispatcher for the Unlon Pacific, gave a schedule of the departing and arriving trains of the Union Pacific on May 22 and Conductor Hayes of the Northwestern told of the arrival of the Northwestern passenger train in Fremont at 4:33 the afternoon of May 22. Walter Ely, a traveling salesman rep- resenting the Holly-Mason Hardware dom- pany of Spokane, testified to certain\ in- voices of pistols having been. .received by the house in January, 1908, from the Qolt's Arms company of Hartford, Conn.! « BANZAI, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

FOR NEBRASKA-Tuesday warmer, For Iowa—Tuesday falr, with rising tem- perature. Temperature at Omaha yesterday: fair and (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 8s(Special.)—Governor Shallenberger belleves the next legislature should take steps to secure a new eapitol for Nebraska. “The next legislature should make an appropriation to start the new bullding,™ sald the governor. “‘We could secure a magnificent bullding for $3,000,000 and there is no reason why a portion of, this amount should not be appropriated by the next legislature, say enough to construct one wing of the building. “I am opposed to spending any $850,000 for a bullding to house the State Historical soclety when the stdte so badly needs a capitol. That is why I vetoed the ap- propriation for the historical soclety bulld- ing. To my mind that Historical soclety bullding is what Joe Cannon would call ‘an ulcer on the body politics.’ The soclety wants $25000 this time, $50,000 the next time and so on. As a matter of fact, with the construction of & new capitol there could be made a place for all the records that the society will ever collect which will be of real value to the state. “The time has certainly arrived for a new state house. This building has out- lived its usefulness, it 1s too small, in bad condition, unsanitary and not worthy of the state.” Rowden Still “Boss.” Dave Rowden Is the boss of the Soldlers’ home at Milford. Colonel Dave says 8o himself, notwithstanding he had a matron out there who hit the bull's eye three times when she heaved dishes at a cook. Some time ago one of the women em- ployes complained to the governor that she had not recelved all the money due her from the commandant. Evidently the gov- ernor wrote to the commandant about the matter, as the answer from Colonel Dave this morning set out the following infor- mation: The woman got all the money that was due her. “When, she says I am boss out here she says what is true. I am the boss. I admit I swear sometimes, but no Jim crow woman or fim crow man Is going to run over me.” The latter made a hit with the executive department, for when Colonel Dave called on the governor this morning he was informed he was all right.

Wherever he has gone, people have called upon him by thousands, and his preparation has sold in immense quantities. The sale of this medicine has now spread over the entire country, and is growing enormously each year. In view of this, the following statement from Mrs. Nettle C. Harris, living at 16 8. South Carolina Avenue, Atlantic City, N. J., with reference to her recent recovery from a severe affliction, will be of un- common interest. Mrs, Harrls says: “For the past five years I have been a suffergr from acute indigestion, nervous- ness, constipation and hermorroids.
