MaSourideS Case
Being Hard Fought
Technical Sparring Marks the Open
ing, When Lille Breese Takes
the Stand.

Tactical sparrlng or the utmost impor-
lance to the case marked the taking of
testimony in the Masourides trial wednes-
day morning when as the third witness
for the prosecution, Lille Breese, was
called to the stand.
Unlike the direct examination at the first
hearing, County Attorney English ended
his questions when the girl had told how
she, officer Lowry, her little brother and
the Greek had rounded the corner of
Twenty-fourth street on the way to the
South Omaha police station. The girl was
not called upon to testify as to the shoot
ing.
on cross-examination the defense at
tempted to go into this and was blocked
by an objection which the court sustained.
Mr.. Enslish's motive was this: AT the
first trial the girl swore she did not know
who fired first, the Greek or the officer
She was too frightened to notice." she
said. Whereupon the county attorney in
troduced her witten statement IN which
she declared the Greek was the first to
fire. Through this attack on the states
own witness came the grant by the su-
preme court of a new trial.
AS matters stand row, If Lille Breese is
called by the defense and asked about this
point the state may cross-examine and at
tempt to refute the girl, for she then will
be witness for the defense. Whether the
attorneys for the Greek will SO call her is
not yet certain.

Rinse it by throwing clean water en-

When it is desired to do tucking by

How to Spend the Fourth.

Much is being said and written con-
corning the manner in which the
Fourth of July shall be spent. And
it is no wonder when we consider the
number of homes filled with grief each
year over the loss of beloved children,
or, what is worse, having them Grip
pied or made sightless for life. The
happiness of children does not depend
on the explosion of irecrckers or the
shooting of toy pistols, by any means,
neither does that sort of amusement
make them more patriotic. Children
enjoy the things they are allowed or
trained to do, much depends on the
parents. Go out for a picnic with
them, taking big basket of goodies
with plenty of little flags, and tell
them or talk over with them why we
honor that par ticular day; or have
them play nice games such as are
suitable for the occasion. Here are
some nice games for the stay at bones
with company.
Write list of the following ques-
tions when one question is answered
correctly give tiny flag, when four
are received they are exchanged for a
larger one. The one having the most
at the close of the contest, is to receive
very nice flag for prize.
