MANDATES FOR THE EXECUTIONS ISSUE
Insanity Pleas Not Yet OmciaIly Re-
ported to the ENecutive-SOme
Important Decisions An
nOunccd by the Court.

LINCOLN, Nov 2O,-(Special) 1.-Two i'm
portant mandates have been sent out by
Clerk Campbell of the supreme court One
of them Is directed to the sheriff of Nance
county, ordering him to proceed with the
execution of Andrew Debney, the wife muir
derer. Debney was recently found to be
insane by a commission, and 1t seems that
the only chance of saving a lunatc from
hanging is through executive clemency The
date Of execution fixed is between the hours
of 10 a. m. and A. p. m. on the 10th day of
January next. No official report Of the
finding of the jury in lunacy has yet reached
the governors office. The only intelligence
of Debneys mental condition comes from
Assistant Superintendent Barber of the Nor
folk asylum He visited Debney and wrote
Governor Holcomb that he believed him to
be insane.
The other mandate orders the execution OF
James b. Walker on the same day and hour.
The claim is made that Walker who was
convicted of murder in Dawson county, Is
also insane 1t is thought a similar effort
will be made to save him from the gallows.

Alleged errors in overruling challenges to

motion for a new trial.
2 Where objection to the materiality or
relevancy of testimony Is not made when

ticket. Lansing was declared elected, but
Berge subsequently brought suit to oust him
from office on the ground that his official
bond had not been filed within the time
specified by law. The suit was pending for
long time in the district court, and finally
verdict obtained for Lansing. Berge appealed
the case, and the supreme court now reverses
that decision and remands the case for a new
trial. The court holds that bond not filed
within the time Vacates the office. Judge
Lansings term will have nearly expired be-
fore the matter can now be adjudicated and
finally settled.
LET OUT THE SALOON KEEPER.
Commissioner Ryan today handed down
opinion of especial interest to lawyers
and liquor dealers. J. j. Patterson G Co. of
Wymore. and William Dolan, saloon keeper
and their bondsmen were sued for damages
by Rosa Mclaughlin for the loss of the sup
port of her husband for herself and children.
In the lower court she recovered 81 900. 1t
was claimed that from October 20. 1890, until
March 90, 1891, plaintiffs husband had drank
almost continually at defendants places of
business and had become an habtual drunk
ard dying from his eXcesses in April, 1891.
The case was appealed to the supreme court
by DOlan. In his evidence in the lower court
he had shown that during the latter part of
the period named he had refused the wOman's
husband any liquor and had not given him
any. In its syllabus the court holds that

death took place while such head was in a
deranged and stupid condition superinduced
by periods of intoxication extending over
period of five months, the last of which pc
rod was two weeks after any liquor had
been sold him, and that to some of the fits
of intoxicat tion the principals contributed by
sales of liquor, 1t was misleading error to
instruct the jury that where several liquor
dealers furnished intoxicants. each dealer is
equally liable. and that in case one dealer
furnishes the first draught while the user
thereof is perfectly sober, and the liquor
which intensified and completed the intoxi-
cation was furnished by other parties, the
dealer furnishing the first drink is equally
liable with the others; also that in an ac-
tion of this kind where there had been in
troduced evidence showing that one sale was

instruct the jury that where 1t Is shown
that the person was sold or furnished liquor
at saloon, the presumption is that such
liquor was intoxicating. The findings were
reversed and the case remanded.
