TESTFYNG ABOUT MURDER
Nadry BOlus Appears to Be Only Material
Witness So Far.
COUNTY ATTORNEY moDlFlts CHARGE
Concludes that IL Will
Not Endeavor to Convict Bader
Nina of Murder I'm the
First Degree.

IN the trlal OF Beder Nina yesterday
morning the witnesses we're Nadro Bolus,
Wadeeh Sadly and Alfred Sadly. The last
two offered testimony similar to that given
by Joseph Sadly yesterday and Bolus was
the principal witness Of the session.
He said that he had lived with the Sadly
family near Thirteenth and Hickory
streets and that he and Najaab Sadly, who
was stabbed November 30, went with
wadeeh Sadly to the Nina store on the
morning Of that day, and that just as they
reached the front door Joe Baardoweel
leaped forth with a club and began beat
ing them. Bolus says that at first he was
the only one who fought and that while
they were engaged he noted that Mrs.
Nina came out, shouting: xiii theml
Hit themi' He testified also that she
came out a second time. and that at about
that time he noticed that Baardoweel had
a knife, whereupon he turned and ran. He
did not see the stabbing. he said. because
he kept right on going" nor had he seen
Mrs. Nina pass the knife. The cross-ex-
animation developed that he (Bolus) had
had a fight the preceding day with Bard
oweel over a love affair.
In this REORGANIZATION the attorneys
for the defense sought to bring out also
hat Bolus had made threats against
Baardoweel in the hearing of Henry
Ehrensfort Of the grand jury. but the
county attorney commended that this was
not admissible testimony unless 1t could
be proved that these threats had been car
ried to Baardoweel as a warning.
N The witnesses Of the afternoon were
Rose Kendis, Augusta Reester, Maggie
Daahir and Mrs. Attoor Sadly, but none Of
them threw any considerable new light on
the affair and hone have yet given specific
testimony to having seen Mrs. Nina give
Baardoweel the knife with which he did
the stabbing.
Strengthening Out the Names.
The various parties interested in the
trial nave had a desperate wrestle with
the names Of the principals. The victim
has been everybody, from Needgha Seedy
to Nadjib Saydie, The man who knitted
him has been everyone, from JOB Ahrdiwill
to Joeb Ardwell, and the woman now on
trial has been everybody from Bladder
Meenie to Bayder Mino.
Adam Sloup was the deputy sheriff Sc
looted to serve the papers because he is a
Bohemian and 1t was supposed that he
might make a better guess than those of
other nationalities. Adam spent two days
down in the Assyrian colony and came
back in a trance. It took three hours
practice and four swigs Of American bulge
to get his tongue trained to speak Eng
fish again.
When they arrived in court the wit
nesses got the attorneys nearly as badly
befuddled as was Adam, and last night
they had to get together and come to an
understanding. It was finally decided that
the names used in the information and
those spelled out by the interpreter were
as nearly correct as Saxon tongues would
ever get them. Accordingly there was ar
ranged this cast of characters:
NAJAAB sAIDy. to whom the spelling
BEDER NINA, the woman in the case.
JOSEPH BAARDOWEEL, who played the
star part and has since been in retire.
| ALFRED Sadly. JOSEPH Sadly and
WApEEH Sadly, cousins OF the man
MRS. SATTooR Sadly, who is also re-
lated to him.

Scrap of Evidence.
