Home Telephone Can Build.

wYMORE, Neb. June a.-(Special. LAST
night at a regular session Of the council
the mayors veto to an ordinance repeating
a franchise granted to the New Home Tele-
phone company was sustained Last jan
uary the New Home Telephone company
desired to come into the city and was
granted a franchise. Immediately an in
junction suit was brought against them to
restrain them from building here, the allie
CATION being made that the franchise had
been ''rairoaded" After some time the
injunction suit was withdrawn. Yester-
day work was again commenced. but the
mayor ordered them TO stop and TO show
what right they had to build, as ordi-
nance had been introduced in the council
repeating the franchise granted them on
the grounds that they had not lived up to
the conditions imposed by the granting OF
said franchise. This ordinance had been
vetoed by the mayor and had been tabled
indefinitely. Last night, however, an effort
to pass the repeating ordinance failed, and
the Home company is free to so on with
their work.

Rush Hands 1t BACK.

Special District Attorney Rush delivered
the closing argument for the government
He was considerably worked up over the
aspersions regarding the government ON
cials made by the two preceding speakers.
He paid his compliments TO Gurley and
Ransom in caustic terms and then went
into the merits OF the case. He analyzed
the motive actuating Crow in giving out
railroad passes, which I'm most instances
were without the solicitation OF the beneh-
Charles, as a "percolating system" or
sense OF obligation" that would naturally
affect the jurors who had received such
fsvors from him. particularly when he
would announce loudly and personally, IT
vote no bill"
THE presumption was evident" said Mr..
Rush. that the recipients Of the favors
would do likewise. 1t is a noticeable fact
that II was only during the tendency Of
important bills before the grand Jury that
Mr.. Crow was so generous In the distribu-
ton OF his passes. After the work Of the
grand jury was finished his hitherto spon-
taneous generosity and liberality ceased.
There were no more no-bils 10 be voted,
and hence there was no further need for
passes, and he overlooked the formality OF
providing or even Offering the jurors passes
TO their homes. except in the cases Of Ash
ley. Gov and Nielsen, TO whom he proffered
trip passes 10 Colorado and return"
rather caustic climax TO Mr.. Eushs ad-
dress was when he referred 70 Mr. Gurley
with some warmth as "a man whose shirt
collar is larger than his head. and whose
girth is so big that the sircingle OF the larE-
est elephant would hardly so round IT,"

AspersiOns on Govern

Joseph Crows case In the United states
district court was given to the jury at
Els o'clock yesterday afternoon As no
agreement had been reached at o'clock,
the court permitted the jury TO go TO supper
and It was taken to the Paxton hotel, re-
turning to the jury room at 7:l5. From that
time until 10 O'Clock there was no indica-
tions Of an agreement, and the jury sent
word to Judge Munger, who was in waiting
at the court room. that further instructions
were desired. Defendant Grow and At
torney Gurley were sent for and there were
present in the court room in addition to the
above named when the jury filed In, Dis
trict Attorney Goss Marshal Warner and
two deputies and two Of the secret service
officials.
Albert Watkins of Lincoln, foreman OF the
jury, stated that the instructions that the
jury desired to be informed upon were:
What would be the effect II verdict OF
guilty was found on one count and dis
agreement on all others?''
Judge Munger said: The effect, while
such verdict could be returned, would be
that new trial would have 70 be had on
all the counts upon which there was a
disagreement"
The Jury then retired again and It was ex-

did not return. and Judge Munger stated.

ton al o'clock this morning although the

formation that the jury would not come

Prior to the beginning of the arguments
the proposition was considered as t
whether the arguments should apply to the
first nine counts OF the indictment, which
charged the impeding of justice, in the
Offering OF passes to specific individuals
members OF the grand jury. or the tenth
count, which charges that the passes were
given by Crow to the Jurors for the pur.
pose OF influencing them to vote a no-bl
against Ware. The court maintained tina
II the first nine counts were sustained
and verdict Of guilty returned on then
it would be equivalent to a verdict Of
The government therefore decided to stanC
on the first nine counts and the cour
eliminated the tenth count.

Goss on the Motive.

Each side was given an hour and half
for argument, the arguments beginning at
$50 with United States District Attorney
Goss leading of for the government. The
essential feature OF Mr.. Goss argument was
to establish the theory of a motive as based
upon the evidence. He analysed the evil
dence thoroughly and his address through
out was strong, temperate and eloquent.
He showed that influences were at work
back of all of the cattle and land cases to
prevent indictment and conviction after In
dictment The duty OF the government on
GERS was not to prosecute an innocent man.
but to prosecute a violation of the laws
against the people.
w. F. Gurley was the first speaker for
the defense. He took up the evidence piece
by piece and sought to show that the gov
eminent had fallen down fatty on its case
and that there was no evidence to convict
He maintained that neither L. c. Wheeler,
District Attorney Goss nor Special District
Attorney Rush was the government, al
though they seemed possessed with the idea
that they were the whole thing.
IF there has been any violation OF the
law" exclaimed Mr.. Gurley, the govern
ment officers have been guilty OF that vio-
lation Of law"
