The Rossbach Murder Case Cons

The Rossbach Murder Case Cons.
cluded STORY OF the Defense.
The evidence is concluded in tIfd.
Rossbach homicide case and the argu-
ment to the jury will begin this morn
ing. But little was done in the case
yesterday morning, owing to the fact
that Mr.. Wellington was arguing al
case in the United States circuit court
or appeals during the morning.
At the opening of the afternoon session
Mr. Wellington opened the case for the
defense. and outlined the eyidenGes
RosSbach shed tears freely at one poift
of Mr.. Wellington'S address, as did also
his wife. This YVES at the point where
it was stated that R0ssbach had been
married but little over year, and has. a
babe but few months old. ROssbaeh
on the witness stand was Stralghtfor-
ward and direct in his testimony,
and did not evade any part of the
details. When the county attorney be-
came severe in his crosS-eXaminatiOn
and attempted to draw out points ap-
parently with the view of testing the
credibiiity of the testimony of the un-a
fortunate man he would speak frankly
and would say. with great candOr, at
times: "Mr. O'Brien, don't remember
that such thing was said or done. |" *;
He said frankly that he had hit Glib
bona with the ak, but said he had not
intended to do more than to push him
away They had quarreled. Gibbon
had called him hard name, and had
kept up Il quarrel. RosSbach had gone
to shed 10 get some kindling Wood,
when Gibbon struck him III the stoin-
ach. knocking his breath out of him.
After this he had gathered up the
kindling, and had the AK in his hand
to go into the house. Gibbon fol-.
lowed from the woodslIed and when he
told him he ought to be ashamed of
calling him bad names. Gibbin got more
angry He accused Gibbon of taking
the boardwalk and.cutting it into kind
ling. He told Gibbin that he ought to
be ashamed Of going to saloons and
burning up the boards Of poor man.
Glbbin then rushed at him and struck
him on the breast. knocking him against
the pump. He let the kindiing
fall and elung to the pump
to keep from falling. He then
told Glbbin he ought to be ashamed OF
himself. Gibbin then drew knife,
from his pocket and, with an oath. de-
clared that he would cut his throat. He
then hit him a pushing lick with the
axe, but dlQ not KNOW tlaC he nad Sefl-
ously hurt the man. He then went to a
police officer to have GibbIn arrested.
He did not believe that he had hit The
man hard enough to kill him, and did
not believe the story as to his being
dead when it was first told him in jail.
John Schocht. August Richter, f.
Boyer, Louis Reinhart and Albert.
BaSer testified that Rossbaeh has al
ways been a quiet and peaceable man.
Mrs. RosSbach was called to the stand to
contradict the statement that her huss,
band had sworn to get even with tlg
Irish. s.
Officer Hoefer testified that he saw
Gibbin go into saloon several times:
that he was a much larger man than
Rossbach, and that RoSsbach had comes
to him to have Gibbin arrested and
told him about the trouble. 81

his demand for searching inYestiga-

The French Benevolent association was

to appoint forthwith ten men to take the

down upon. ASSemblyman DOran
thought $3.50 per day was too much
money when so many persons were glad
to get work at half the price. Mr..
Lightner. after a whispered cOnversa-
ton with the mayors secretary, said
the matter was one which should be at
tended to at once, and he hoped the res
OlutiOn would pass, as it was nee
eSSary for the public good. Mr..
ReardOn said the only purpose
of the resolution was to give ten men

went to the committee Oh ways and

A LEGAL TUSSLE
Before Mr.. Hardt Secures a Seatf
inthe Council. "a

The official report of the referees iils
the Warren-Hardt contested election
case will be filed in the district court
today. The facts, as ascertained, were%
published in the GLOBE yesterday. Of
the total number of ballots cast in the
ward for aldermen about twenty will be-
left for judicial opinion as to which
candidate the voter intended to cast the
ballot for. The referee for Mr.. Warren,
NJ. l.. COuntryman, said yesterday that
majority for Warren. as the dis
puted ballots were about even
Iy divided. In this connection,
the recount showed there were from
twenty-five to eighty persons in each
precinct who either could not OF did
not mark their ballots correctly. A
large number did not have a single
mark of any kind on them, while others
had marked each and every candidate
Oh the ticket. IL. b. Schriber, attorney
for Warren, said his client would GER
tainly get the seat, although the chances
were the case would be taken to the
supreme court. The point that the
court had no jurisdiction in the matter,
the board of aldermen being t he judges
of the returns and the eligibility of its
members, Mr. Schriber said was not good.
The supreme court. he stated. in 1856
passed on similar case from Red Wing.
IN which the court held that unless the
charter expressly said the council was
the sole or exclusive judge Of the eligi-
bility of its members, the courts could
take jurisdiction.
In the meantime Mr.. Hardt is holding
down the seat in the council, and will
continue to represent the ward until the
courts shall have decided the matter.

The nine members of the assembly
were promptly called to order after the
adjournment of the joint body, and set
tied down to an hours work with much
satisfaction. Each OF the men,
bers seemed to be imbued with
but one idea, and that was
to pass no resolution involving the pay
ment of money unless he personally
had first investigated the matter thor
Oughly. In consequence nearly ali the
audited claims from tie cOmptrOller's
office were referred to the committee on
claims. As ASSemblyman Johnson eX-
plained to an ardent admirer of his
statesmau-iike abilities after the meet
ing, I'VE don't propose to pay any bills
that we don't know all about" City
CIelk Prendergast explained that all OF
the claims presented had been passed
on by the committee on claims from the
Old council. had been audited by the
comptroller and were simply to be
passed on by the assembly. This state
ment, however, seemed to make matters
worse, and Assemblyman Lightner
moved that all of the budget of claims
be referred to the committee to inyeSti-
gate. Some of the claims were for eSti-
mates on contracts, and for fear an in
justice might be done this class was al
lowed.
