Hour Last Night.

OMAHA, Neb., April 27.-The State rest
ed last night in the case of James Gala
han, on trial for alleged completely in the
fense put on it's first witness this morning.
As expected an alibi was offered to show
that the accused could have had no par
ticipation in the kidnapping.
Charles Mcdonald, a neighbor of Gala
han, related conversation he had had
with the defendant on the afternoon of the
kidnapping, Dec Is. At the moment the alb
6uction was taking place Mcdonald said he
sat on the porch in company with Gala
han at Mrs Keller's house, where McDon-
aid boarded. Mcdonald said he and Gala
han were together between the hours of
$3.50 and o'clock On cross-examination
Mcdonald said he remembered the date be-
cause it was the twentieth birthday of his
son. He admitted. however, that he had
recently told two detectives that he was
not quite sure whether it was Dec. is or on
the day or second day following

fled to having seen Callahan daily at Mrs.
Keler's house as he made his rounds. He
delivered his papers between $3.50 and 5

Henry Orf's saloon. when he was supposed
to be absent on his kidnapping mission. He
also was not positive to the date.
The early afternoon was occupied with
the testimony of Callahan in his own be-
half. His story was series or denials
of all the allegations of the State. He
said he spent the afternoon of Dec. IS at
home and in the evening played cards at
Henry Orr's saloon in South Omaha.
The State sought 10 show that Callahan
has been in the Reform School. but not
permitted TO do so. Callahan admitted that
he had been convicted of robbery in this
court. He denied that he had been con-
victed of burglary. He said he had known
Fat Grove for twelve or fourteen years. He
said he did not know what Grove do
ing. except what Grove told him. Callaha n
said Grove had a hard name and had asked
him not to use his right name if he met
any friends when they were together and
he should introduce him. He admitted that
he drove with Grove a couple of times. He
thought the buggy belonged TO Gillian,
Groves brother-in-law, at South Omaha
The defendant testified that Grove never
stopped out at Mrs. Keller's longer than A
few moments.
The evening session was brief, as the de-
fense waived its right to address the jury
The instructions to the jury were lengthy
but without interesting features. ver-
dict is expected tonight.
