MESSAGES FROM THE DEAD
Latest Lot of Communication" De-

Months and months ago certain eminent
members of the British Society for PSYCHE

usual soiemnity the portentous announce
ment that at last they had received from
the dead communication Of a character
so convincing that even the most ]skeptical
Of scientists would have to give up his
doubts as to the possibility Of such mes
sages. Recently a special cable dispatch
from London presented what It is fair to
assume were fair specimens of these new
proofs and il must be confessed that
they were about the sorriest chicks ever
Matched by prolonged. incubation.
Some Of the communications presumably
typical ~ the great mass printed in the
latest volume OF the society's journal. were
prose and some were verse. and II would
be hard to tell which were the most likely
to convict the author. whether dead or
alive, Of drooling idiocy. The poetry, in
deed, was rather worse AS poetry than the
prose as prose, but the latter was about as
bad as II could be, so far as its evidential
value went, for II gave not even one

TRAINS FOR THE BIG PARADE
North western Line Has Its Service
All Well

NAA
The Northwestern has announced it's
special train service from Omaha after the
big electrical parade next Wednesday night.
Officials of the Northwestern say their
service is so arranged into Omaha that no
special trains will be needed to bring the
people to the carnival. They say they are
assembling all the extra equipment of the
Northwestern road for handling people to
the Trip county opening in South Dakota
and that these cars will be on hand for use
to bring people to Ak-Sar-Ben.
A special will leave Omaha Wednesday
night at 1870 for Carroll, la, stopping at
all intermediate points. A special will
leave Omaha at 1l:4O Wednesday night for
Norfolk, stopping at lrvington TO Airing
ton inclusive and Crowell to Norfolk inclus-
i've. Another special will leave Omaha at
l1:2 for Lincoln making no intermediate
stops between Omaha and Fremont, and
connection at Fremont with coach accom-
modations for Superior and Hastings. An
other special will leave Omaha at 1l:SC
Wednesday night for Oakdale via Scribner
and Albion, stopping at Nickerson, Hooper,
Scribner and all intermediate stations
Scrlbner to Oakdale, inclusive. The road
has sent out thousands of attractive fold
ers in Ak-Sar-Ben colors telling of the
low rates and the big show which Omaha
is putting on this fall.

Brilliant Decorations in Honor of Ak
sar-Ben Guests

The merchants Of Omaha have spared NO
expense on decorations in honor of the
guests to Ak-Sar-Ben's court and as the
result the show windows throughout the
entire business districts are ablaze with
most brilliant colors. Probably the most
beautiful of these are the Benson & Thorne
Co.'S windows at 15l5-15l7 Douglas ST. One
Of the novel features of these decorations
is that no cloth is used in the entire dis
play. One seldom sees a more perfect har-
monizing OF the Ak-Sar-Ben colors. These
windows were planned and executed by
Mr.. A. V. Houston, who has recently come
to the Benson g. Thorne Co. from an east
ern house and is planning several unique
displays for the near future.

BOYS SCHEME FAILS TO WORK
Juveniles start in on Little Graft
and Police Ohicer Gets
Them.

Carnival graft, conducted in a most viru-
lent form, considering the age of its pro-
motors, seems to have come to light in the
arrest Of three Juveniles who are said to
be the owners Of a thriving shoe shine
holdup game, It is said that the young
sters, who are only about ~ years of age,
agree with some "E. q. Mark" to shine
their victims shoes for a dime, and then
refuse to finish the job after polishing one
boot unless another dime is forthcoming.
Patrolmen Bitter arrested Roy Elrod of
4l4 Hickory street, Ed Skellenger of Az
Hickory street, and Sanders Wheeler of
Sixth and Cass streets late Thursday after
noon on charges of in~corrigibility in con
nection with the bootblack game, and the
lads were turned over to Juvenile Officer
Mogy Bernstein.

TO Grace Walton's."
Did you see DR.. Rustin there?"
Almost every day
Mrs. Rice said she lived at Walton's until
May /, when she went to Council Bluffs
and lived at the Grand hotel for two
months. She swore that there she saw DR..
Rustin every day and that he spent almost
all OF his time with her to the neglect Of
his practice.
After Mrs. Rice left the Grand hotel she
says she secured two rooms at ia North
Sixteenth street with a woman named Mrs.
Manning and there she was with the ply
stefan daily, going from the Manning board
ing house to the Loyal hotel the latter part
OF August, where she stayed a week. She
said she saw DR.. Rustin daily, and they
left the hotel because the proprietor re-
quested them to leave.
Closing of Rustin Career.
This testimony brought the story to the
dates comprising the closing chapters Of
DR.. Rustin's life, and the woman told in
reply TO questions Of how the physician
told her OF his business affairs; that he
had no money and no practice; many debts
and som notes at the First National bank.
A to his Insurance l understood he
had almost 100000, which was all payable
to his wife," said the woman.
Did he ever take up the question of
taking his life to secure this insurance.
He did"
"When?"
About a month before his death"
How did he come to do it?'
He wanted to end his life"
"How?"
He wanted me to kill him.
"Why?"
80 1t would not be suicide?"
Did he EXPLAIN"
Yes, he said the family could not get
the insurance if it was suicide and the
only arguments he used to get me TO Kill
him were that l must do it for the sake
of his wife and children so they could live
comfortably"
Did you acceed to hi. demands?'

What preparations were made?"
"He bought a gun"
Mrs, Rice then related the incidents con.
nected with the first gun secured by DIR.
Rustin for her to shoot him. 1t was Sc

All of this testimony came without an
objection from the defense, but Attorney
Gurley kept warning the woman and the
! county attorney that they were getting
about as far as he proposed to have them
without objection and argument and that
they must go slowly. When County Attor-
ney English asked this question the climax
with Mr.. Gurley was reached.
When DR.. Rustin returned to you in
the private room after being out to consult
this person, was there anything then said
by him with reference to any change in
his plans with reference to his death?"
Mr.. GuTley announced that he was ready
for tho argument right then and that MIR.

for Tive defense against admitting hearsay
testimony.
Mr.. Woodrough had a big pile Of law
books and argued for an hour, after which
adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock.

when the hearing was called at 2 o'clock.
Evidence on Revolver.
The court and attorneys agreed to ad-
journ until $50 Saturday morning, but al
the request OF Mr.. English the principals
were called back and the testimony Of
Samuel Friedman, the Council Bluffs pawn
broker was taken. Friedman, who con
ducts a pawn shop at 5Ss Broadway, Coun,
ell Bluffs, testified that a man answering
to the description Of DR.. Rustin had en-.
tered his store with a revolver which he de
sired repaired Immediately. Friedman in
formed Rustin that It would be impossible
TO repair the gun at once, and offered L
trade a similar revolver for the broker
one, providing Rustin would pay one dol
lar in addition, which was done and Rus
tin left the store, with the gun which /!

Traded for Another Pistol.
The sun was taken 10 Council Bluffs and
traded for another pistol the following
Thursday, August 20, and the couple re-
turned to Omaha, meeting by appointment
at Seventeenth and Webster streets, They
went to the physicians office in the Pax
ton building about $50 o'clock, but the
physician looked out OF the window and
saw that too many people were abroad.
Mrs. Rice said he was afraid she could
not get out OF the building without getting
caught and he suggested that they so out TO
his home and that she shoot him in his own
barn, where it would appear he had been
shot by footpads.

Mrs. Rice said she had been in the barn
before and knew the way, so she started
to go IN the back way; saw someone drive
by; lost her nerve and walked east on
Farnam street, waiting for a street car.
When a car came going east DR.. Rustin
got off. and she did not get on.
He was angry with me for leaving him
and scolded me-" she said. 'You must
shoot me for my children's sake and for
the sake Of my Wife is what he said"
Return to the Harm.
Then the woman told Of their return IA
the barn and the most dramatic incident
in her life-of being alone for two hours In
a barn three miles from the city with a
man who was begging her to shoot him
and alternately threatening to kin her il
I she did not. OF DIR. Rustin calmly step
ping back a few feet from her, with his
hands behind him and his coat back, say,
ing, "shoot me n~ow-shoot me now"
without emotion the woman declared she
did not raise the gun to shoot, but re.
piled, II cannot do It, doctor-I cannot
do It,"
Then the physician grappled with her
wrenched the gun from her hand and strug.
gled In the darkness Of the barn.
