Taylor Trial at
Minden is Near
End of Evidence
Defense Introduces Dispositions Tend
ing to Tighten 0nus of Crime
Defendant Little Affected.

MINDEN. Neb., May 2s.-(Special Tele-
gram)-The Bert NJ. Taylor trial is slowly
dragging to a close. Not much of un.
usual interest has developed in the case
by either side. Yesterday the court
threatened to remove one Of the attorneys
for the defense from the court room unless
ne complied with the rules Of the court
more strictly.
The dispositions Of Drs. S. j. Jones and
]. A. Martin, temporarily in Austria, who
attended Pearl Taylor in her last sickness
were read. Or. Martin deposed that from
an examination of Pearl Taylor, he was
inclined to believe that no criminal as
sault had been committed. DR.. Jones also
deposed that he had found no injuries in
dlcating that crime. The testimony Of the
physicians was somewhat adverse to the
theory of the state.
This afternoon evidence was introduced
by the defense tending to show that Taylor
was under the influence of liquor the night
before, but 1t made a very weak case on
this point. The prosecution introduced
testimony this morning before closing the
case tending to show that Taylor had ex-
pressed himself to the effect that he would
have his revenge against Douglas Taylor
his father-in-law, for not permitting him
to marry, Eliza, another of the girls. Doug
las Taylor testified that he never knew
that Bert Taylor had desired any of his
other girls as a wife.
Bert Taylor sits stolidly, taking ap-
parently less interest. in the case than
any of the spectators. He is more cool
and would seem to be the least interested
of all present in the case, At times he
closes his eyes in apparent dose. The
court room is crowded to the utmost.
