Witness Was On Point Three Times
Of Killing Or. Rustin Upon His De.
mand-Nerve Failed Her at Criti-
cal Point.

| 10y ASSOtldtSu 1 tSso.'
| OMAHA. NEB., Sept. 25.-The
scene at the police court today was
one of intense interest when the
hearing of Charles Edward Davis,
icharged with the murder of DR.. Fred
erick Rustin was continued. Many
women sought admission to the coury
! room, but only witnesses and those
pc rsonally interested in the case were
permitted to enter. These were suf-
ficient to fill the court room.
| Mrs. Abbie Rice was the second
witness. She showed by her appear
ance the strain she has been under
for the past three weeks and she was
nervous and apparently anxious to
have the ordeal over. When she
was called on to repeat circum-
stances OF the alleged suicide pact
and to relate what Rustin told her
about Davis, counsel for the defense
objected on the ground that it was
hearsay. Awaiting decision on this
point OF law. Mrs. Rice was excused
for the time and arguments were be-
gun. The afternoon session was TAX
en- up By the attorneys in their argu-
ments.
Judge Crawford then decided the
contested testimony was admissible.
Witness Life Story.
Mrs. Rice said she was born at Al
lerton. Iowa. 10 years ago and was
married to Irving Rice at the age of
II. She remained in Des Moines,
where she was married for tn
months, when she went to Cuba.
where her husband was stationed
with his regiment. She returned
home in 1907. b. cause of the "incom-
patibility of her husband" and later
moved to Omaha. She met DR.. Rus
tin at Clarkson Hospital, where he
performed two operations on her.
When she was able to leave the hos
pital, she went to live at the Grand
Hotel, in Council Bluffs. There she
said Rustin saw her daily. She re-
moved to the Loyal Hotel. Omaha,
about two months later. 1t was while
eide pact was first preached to he:.
Lost Her Nerve.
Mrs. Rice then went into dstails
OF how. on three different occasions.
she brought herself to the point of
taking the physicians life. but at the
last moment lost heart and rcfus d.
She told of going to the office On
the night of August %, and making
every preparation to shoot the ply
stefan and saving to him: Fred I
can't do it: can't hurt you"
Then he upbraided her for her
W. akness and planned to carry out
the shooting at the barn in the rear
of his home Twice every plan was
made for enacting the tragedy in the
barn. and in each instance her nerve
failed her.
Physical, Was Angry.
HE was vey angry at me and
threatened To- Kill himself and me
too in the barn." said Mrs. Rice. AMI
think he would have done so IL
had not had possession Of the revoi-

A fourth time he tried to persuade
her to shoot him. after returning ID
his Offico down town at two O'Clock
tina: morning. but she steadfastediy
de clined.
She then identified a revolver
which hal bcen originally purchased
by Rustin to carry out the tragedy.

all right enough. The people, IRE

drags out into the open and holds up
to the scorn and contempt OF the
American people every Office

to a lust for private gain. The
higher his position, the greater the
fall and the smaller the measure OF
human sympathy he will receive.
But 1t is unjust to seek to hold the
Democratic party accountable for the
overt acts of a legislator, who. at the
time they were committed. had been
repadiated by his party oileagues,
and was unreservedly and openly al

THREE OFFICERS WORKING
WITHOUT SALARIES.


WITHOUT SALARIES.
Since July l the city engineer, cit!
auditor and.echief of the fire depart
ment have been working without sal
aries. At the time the matter o.
fixing these salaries was laid over
by the council, II was supposed thai
they certainly would be provided FOL
before the first month OF the new
fiscal year had passed. Various at
tempts to reach an agreement were
futile, however; July and August
passed. and now only few days OF
september are left. and no action has
been taken.
1t Is true that the officers were
elected knowing that no salaries had
been fixed and no appropriations
made for their positions, hence they
had no ground for complaint when
the first month passed and no money
was forthcoming. Our city Officers
are not in the coupon. clipping class,
however, and three months Is about
as long as they can be expected to
wait for their pay.
There is no excuse for further de-
lay in the matter of fixing these sal
aries. Every member of the council
knows that the officers must be paid
putting off something that must be
lone in time, and should be done at
once. An agreement as to the amount
If the salaries could have been reach
I'd two months ago just as easily as
