WITNESSES SAW NO KNIFE
None Vet TestIfyinE In Murder Case
Could See Weapon In
victims Hand.

Colored men who know more or less Of
the killing Of william Rollins by Joseph
Koslowski at South Omaha on the night
OF July 30 last. are still going and coming
on the stand in the criminal branch OF the
district court. There is a long list OF
them and as the defense has also a large
number to testify along the line of self
defense. the trial probably will occupy all
week. Not one OF the witnesses for the
prosecution has admitted the dead man had
any weapon in sight when killed. Koslow-
ski and his attorney contend that Rollins
had drawn a knife and also had a revolver.
While all of the colored witnesses were
in deadly earnest in the giving of their tes-
timony, the manner of giving it and the
answers occasionally made under the cross
examination OF Mr.. English were a trihe
diverting To speak in the present tense of
the happening and incidents connected with
It was common occurrence. One witness,
asked where Rollins the dead man. was
when he heard the first shot, solemnly
shook his head and in half mournful ca
dence answered:
''Ah don know where he's at when dat
shot was fired"
Another witness was Intercepted as to
why he did not take more interest in what
Bret Harte would call "the subsequent
| proceedings and said with great earnest
| ness:
"Ah don never LAX to be eroun whur
| dead folks Is"
A witness OF somewhat loQuacious bent
was asked what he was doing at certain
time at the Roth saloon, where the tragedy
| occurred:
"Well, we wus jus aionahlnS

and Mr.. English let it go at that.
Some slight argument arose as to the
dimensions of a small hallway wherein
Rollins fell and died. No two witnesses
| agreed as to its size, but one man, wher
cornered. said with convictions:
II don nevah git thu dat do'way 'thout
turnin' some way eroun'."

REVENUE FROM CITY STREETS
ROHewater Discusses Ordinances
Railroads Respond to Demands
for TrackaEe.

City Engineer Rosewater. IN discussing
the ordinances, called attention to the plan
now being worked out in the city of Balti-
more I'm that city" said Mr.. Rosewater,
"a revenue is derived from the use of the
streets. l understand in the neighborhood
of $4,000 annually. The council has a
regular schedule of prices and when a
corporation desires to lay track upon the
streets it must pay into the city so much
money every year II is the same when a
person wants to construct a sign out over
the street. Omaha should be able to secure
some revenue from the use of It's streets.
The city should be paid for the construction
of underground store rooms, which extend
out under the streets BY allowing SO
much underground building, the day will
come when Omaha will be unable to con-
stuct any subways, because they would run
into the subways of private business
houses"
Jerry Mcmahon. former city hall elevator
conductor. was at the city hall Wednesday
morning protesting against granting these
trackage rights. He says many property
owners will protest.
A prominent Union Pacific official said:
There is such an insistent demand for
more trackage that we were compelled to
ask permission to lay these tracks. The
present wholesale district is practically
filled and the property around Capitol
avenue and Eleventh and Twelfth streets
might much better be used for warehouses
than to be nonrevenue producing the way
it is now, We realize there is a public
demand to keep the railroad tracks from
crossing the street car tracks, and this Is
what we have tried to prevent OF course.
We have received numerous requests and do
receive them every day to extend our lines
/ across the street car tracks on Tenth street.
/ but this we do not wish to do and will
not as long as there is building room else

station, and before the truth of the matter

The woman In question gave ner name as
Mrs, Lucille Murray and her occupation
that of temperance lectuPer. The story she
told Matron Gibbons was she lost her
money in the Union statioh at Kansas City
Tuesday evening and managed to keep her
ticket to Omaha and 10 cents by having
them in a secure place. ..-
The woman called outthe police matron
for assistance, her desire being to get as
far as Fremont. She said she had been
giving temperance lectures and acknowl-
edged her resemblance to Mrs. Nation.
Mrs. Murray carried with her an air OF
taking every little gratuity a matter
of course, She said she believes men were
made to wait on the women. She was es-
corted to the Union station by Matron
Gibbons. When alighting from the street
