up we'll and to all appearances has not
seemed better at any time than during the
summing UP by counsel. The defendant was
on hand early this morning, while his wife
and the attorneys were in attendance.
There was a rustic Of excitement when
the bailin at 10 came into Judge Elliott's
chambers and handed him a note. The jury
was sent for and tho crowd expected a
verdict, but It did not come.
Jury Asks QuestiOns.
The fury had asked that certain questions
be answered which formed the basis OF
quite an extended discussion in the Judges
| chambers as to the proper way to answer
them without doing any injustice to the
| defendant. The three questions put to the
court by the jury were:
1. was there any evidence to show that
| GaTQneF COlleCIbu Any EIhlN btAoAp ~
Ames left for his hunting trip.
Q. Where and from whom did the police
aside from Norbeck. get their orders 10 re-
port to Gardner at Ames' medical once?

Gardner aid he know that 1t was Erat'
money?
After the jury had taken their seats
Judge Elliott replied to the hrst question
that the matter Of any money paid pre-
viously was not in the case.
Relative to the second the court In.
structed that the evidence Of Sinclair wai
that the orders came from headquarters.
To the third question the reply was mad'
that the jury should assume from all The
evidence the fact as to whether the doctor
knew the money paid was graft money
1t was not necessary that Gardner told
him so.
The Jury retired with this Information
and for two hours DR.. Ames paced tn,

Yesterday was the opening OF the West
ern league season in Omaha and the locals
took the game when "Jawnie" came march
ing home in the last OF the second and gave
Omaha the three runs that cinohed the
game. It was a pretty day and a pretty
game and a pitchers battle, with a nnal
score Of 3 to 2.
II was a typical opening, with a parade
OF city notables, ofAcials and cranks galore,
a band playing circus music at the fore
and a gathering Of street urchins following
on behind. A band concert at the park
and the opening Of the season by the
mayor, in which he declared that the sea-
son Of the rhubarb pie, book beer and base
ball lie on again. Then Omaha scattered
into the field and Mayor Moores deliber-
ately threw the ball over the plate. while
the Des Moines batter struggled hard tc
miss It.
The game began then in truly earnest and
the boys put up an article Of the national
game worth going miles to zee. when they
went to bat they fell on the ball and
knocked II to the four winds, but no matter
how hard or how far It went somebody goi
II Just in time. The fielding was shary
and brilliant, and everyone took almosi
impossible chances and nelded perfectly.
