WITNESSES SOMEWHAT CONFUSED.
Thomas, the Man with Many Aliases,
is HNlh TO AnsMcr.


The preliminary hearing of John Thomas,
alias John Cunningham, alias Charles Clay,
the alleged lone negro burglar, was re-
sumed in police court yesterday morning.
For the purpose of establishing an albi the
defense had on hand some eight colored
friends of Thomas, but after the testimony
of two had been taken the attorney for the
defense notified the court that his client
would waive examination and let the case go
before the district court grand jury. The
two witnesses who were examined testified
that on the night that Thomas was alleged
to have broken into Attorney Stewards
house he was visiting at the home of Mag
Johnson, a colored woman, in South Omaha.
The second witness was somewhat confused
when questioned. When he took the stand
he swore he was 81 years of age, but dur
ing the course of his examination told of
places where he had lived and the length
| of time he resided at each, and when the
| time was footed up by the prosecuting at
| torney it showed that the witness must be
at least 46 years old. Judge Aylesworth or
| dered that the watch found on Thomas at
| the time of his arrest in Omaha beturned
| over to Mr.. Stewart, it having been proven
| to the satisfaction of the court that it was
| his property, although Thomas still persists
| that he purchased the timepiece in New Or
| leans ana 1aQ Deen wearing IL lot year.
| Thomas was later removed from the city to
the county Jail.
Judge Smith adjourned district court yes
terday morning to Monday on account of the
serious sickness of one of his children. The
| trial of criminal cases will be resumed Mon
| day morning.
The ruling of Judge Thornell in the suit
of H. L. Henry against f. ]. Day, admins
| traitor of the estate of George Metcalf de-
! ceased, was received here yesterday. Judge
Thornell rules that the claim of Henry be
considered as a fourth-class claim against
the estate notwithstanding the fact that 1t
was not filed within the time required by
law. The judge expressly states in his
order that the ruling is not to be construed
as meaning the ordering of the payment OF
the claim, but simply to permit it to be
considered as a claim of the fourth class
against the estate. Captain Henry held a
promisory note, which, with interest, now
amounts to 81, 1896 signed by the late George
Metcalf, and sought to have it entered as
a claim against the estate, he having tailec
to file it in the required time, because, al
he alleged, that Day had told him 1t woulc
be useless to do so, as there were no visible
assets belonging to the estate. 1t developed
later that there was property belonging u
the estate and this fact becoming known t'
Henry he sought to have his claim ad
mitted.

states attorney, the answer which relieves
him from disbarment is likely to also relieve
him of his office.

CHALLENGE BY ENGLISH ATHLETES.
Oxford and Cambridge Anxious to

LONDON. May 2O.-The steamer Paris,
Southampton, takes a challenge from OK
ford and Cambridge universities to the uni
yersit!es of Yale and Harvard for an
athletic contest to take place on the ground
of the Queens cub: London. during me
last week in July. The program consists
of the following events: One e-hundred-yard
dash 120-yard hurdle race, quarter-mile run,
half mile run, one mile run, three mile run,
hammer throwing, high jump and long
This is the regular oxford and Cambridge
program, with a half-mile run substituted
for putting the weight to the new rules OF
which event the English university men are
not yet accustomed The challenge rigidly
like thems elves, be absolutely student and
absolutely an amateur athlete.

cepted The meeting vii. be a great attrdc-
ton at the close of the London season, more
especially If the presence of the prince OF
| and Lord Rosebery is secured, as is al
ready stated to be the case
The university members who have the
matter chiefly at heart including members
of both teams are anxious for the match.
| They feel that the proposal sent to the
United States is a very sportsmanlike offer
and they are confident ii will be welcome.
The Englishmen point out that so far as
| the Americans are concerned, they know
! their own strength and the strength of
Cambridge sports in March, but that they,
| the cha.lengers, are ignorant of what their
! opponents may have succeeded in accom-
| plishing in intercollegiate sports: This,
most genuine match, with the most genuine
desire that the best side will win.

AMEs, Ia, May .-(Special)-Private
Kearn of the Eighth cavalry, who passed
through Ames yesterday, enroute from Cuba
to his home at Belmont, Ia, impaired to MI
and Mrs. NJ. McMichael the first news of the
death CT their son, Charles f. McMichael, a
corporal in his regiment. Charles McMichael
had served in the regular army four years
and was last seen by his parents hoTe last
December, when he passed through Ames
enroute with his regiment from Fort Mo
brara, Neb., to Huntsville, Ala. From
Huntsville he went to Cuba, and, according
to Kearns' story died there and was buried
two weeks ago. McMichael had just re-
turned from a 150- mile trip with commits
sary train through the toughest part of the
island, and had been officially commended
for his service and was about to receive a
well earned promotion when death came, the
result of overwork and exposure. The last
word previously received by McMichael )
folks was a private letter from him in
March when he stated that he was enjoying
good health. Friends and relatives are at a
loss to account for the absence of either Off
cial or newspaper reports of his demise.
