MIKE ENRlGHT AN Ex-C0NvICT
Man Charged with Holding Up ss-
loon Keeper Admits serving Three
Years for Robbery.


Mike Enright charged with holding up
the saloon of Adam Burkis at South
Omaha, went on the witness stand in his
own behalf at the afternoon session of
court yesterday. He denied having been
In Burkis' saloon on the DAY Of the rob
berry and said he did not see the witness
who Identified him. He admitted on cross
examination that he had served term
OF three years in the penitentiary for
robbery. For the purpose of impeaching
his testimony the state introduced an afii-
davit signed by him alleging he was in
INDECENT circumstances, and then brought
out In his evidence that he is the owner
Of a part interest in a house in South
Omaha.
At o'clock the defense ran out of wit
nesses and an adjournment was taken until
Friday morning. AS Thursday is a holiday
no session of the court will be held.
The progress of the trial was slow
because the lawyers and the court got in
a tangle over the pronunciation of the
names of several of the Polish and Lithu-
anian witnesses for the state.
The first trouble came when Martin
I.aba nowsky was the stand. He was
in the saloon at the time OF the holdup.
Attorney Murphy for the defense OBJ
jected to his testifying because his name
appeared on the information as Martin
I.inislSi." Judge Sutton had the witness
pronounce his name several times, and
falling to discover any resemblance be-
tween the real name and that on the in
formation sustained the objection. A sim
liar objection was made to the next wit
ness. but by agreement 1t was decided to
excuse him until the afternoon session,
by which time the attorneys will argue
the matter to the court.
Mike Vorak the bar keeper. testified as
to the holdup. He said Enright entered
the saloon and bought glass of beer and
a minute or two later he heard shot
fired in front of the saloon and Enright
hustled him into the ice box and locked
him up. He said he was so scared he did
not stop to take a minute survey of the
| situation so his identification was not very
| positive. Other witnesses Identified En-
! right as the man who entered the saloon
| Just before the shot was fired.
