cmpanclcd and sworn in the above
entitled cause, do upon our oaths find
the defendant A. Washmood, guilty,
as charged in the fourth count Of the
Indictment c. H. DAVENPORT,
Foreman %
Judge McGinnis, leading counsel for
the defendant requested that the
court have the jury polled; each iu-
rors name was called, one a. a
time. and the following question and
answers thereto were put to each
Juror.
Is that your verdict? Yes sir.
Are YOU still satisfied with it.?
/ Yes, sir
This verdict carries with it the
death penalty
Judge McGinnis, Nio has made a
most excellent defense of his client
and who has shown extraordinary
. shIll ana ahlllly as a good criminal
lawyer Immediately filed motion
for new rial and said motion
Was heard and acted upon before
Judge Huston lef, for his Guthrie
home yesterday afternoon, and in the
face OF this verdict Of the jury, Judge
Huston by his decision mas given
Washmood another chance to be
heard IN court.
When the repor,c' called upon
County Attorney Mathers. Immediate
ly after hcarin2 that Judge Huston
had set the verde OF the Jury aside,
il the Nlshmood case Mr.. Math-
ers said:
We mad twelve representative men
on that jury they were men OF in
teIlgence. and who desired TO see
the law enforced, they saw every
witness, listened patiently to all the
testimony. and after going to their
rooms offered up a prayer to God to
direct their conscience to do the
right thing. These men said WASH
mood should hang. Then for a Judge
to insult their intelligence and the
people OF my county by setting that
verdict aside, before the ink has
dricd upon the paper, Is more than
| can stand. 1t is very little salts
faction 10 the Mw-a0iding people
1t is little announcement for the
state counsel who are striving to
protect the human lives of our citl-
zcnship. | think it an outrage upon
our peOple. Just such action is wha.
caused the honest citizens of Ada to
Lynch the notorious Jim Miller, the
partner OF Washmood. There was not
an error in the case, and the court
so said. but said. because the ties.
imony was not sufficient to support
verdict, he would set the verdict
aside,
j am going TO try this man again,
just as soon as ! finish the rest
OF the docket. We can hang him
again before an honest jury. Just
like we did this time The jury did
their duty, Ne did ours"

Was Using an Alcohol Lamp for
Toilet Purposes When an
Explosion Occurred.

Miss Dollie Tucker OF OF North Twenty
fourth street, is at ST. Joseph's hospital
suffering from internal burns caused by
breathing fire when an alcohol lamp on
her dressing table exploded throwing the
flames in her face and setting her hair
on fire, Sunday afternoon at O'Clock.
The explosion occurred while Miss Tucker
was curling her hair. She was within a
few feet of the lamp when II burst, blow.
ing off the top and enveioping her face In
flames.
Frantic with pain, Miss Tucker ran out
Of the house onto the front porch. where
she fell, striking her head. Miss Alice
Durham, who is a nurse, living with Miss
Tucker. came to her assistance, and Police
Surgeons Loveland and Standeven were
notified.
While 1t is impossible to determine how
serious the internal burns will prove, It is
not thought that they will be fatal, and
there is but little danger that her external
burns will disfigure her. Miss Durham
attended Miss Tucker last winter when the
latter was Ill and since that time the two
young women have stayed together.

VICTIM OF YOUNG TAFT'S
AUTO RECEIVES FORTUNE
Italian Returned to European Home
with Competency for Man OF
His Frugal Habits.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 15.--When Mich
ael Angelo di Gregardlo, Italian laborer on
the road near Beverly, stepped in front OF
Robert Taft's motor car last June he
stepped into a fortune. Michael Angelo
was knocked down and run over and was
taken to the hospital. There he was at
tended by DR.. William ]. Mixer, the fa-
nous Boston surgeon, who responded to
the appeal OF President Taft. After careful
and skillful attention and luxurious con-
valescence. >Gregardio expected to return
to the pick and shovel on the roadway.
The president had been a frequent caller
and when he was allowed to talk to the
patient, penetrated his timid retieence with
the Taft smile and learned that the yearn-
ing of the Italians heart was to go home.
Qregardio went home on the steamer
Italia this week. He came over steerage,
but went back second class. First class
was offered TO him, but he wanted only
to be happy not gorgeous. Not only was
his passage paid. but President Taft pre-
scented $500 to him.
When Michael Angelo was told that the
$500 was all velvet-that is that all his ex.
penses home would be paid in addition
he promptly sent the $500 home In advance
Of his sailing. That means 1850 lire In ItaIy
and Gregardio's fellow countrymen here saw
he, with his frugal habits. is fixed for
life.

DOnahue Will
Be Governed by
Primary Law Only
Nothing in the Law Which Permits
Public to Voting Place Dur
ing the Count.

Chief of Police Donahue has no intention
Of allowing Governor Shallenberger to de-
eide how the election laws shall be inter-
preted In Tuesdays primary election and
the letter from the governor demanding
that the public be allowed to see and be
present at the canvass will be disregarded
THE law declares expressly that the per-
sons present at the canvass of votes In a
primary election shall be the authorized rep
resentatives of party committees" said the
chief, land the public in general has no
right TO be there. OF course, the canvass
should not be under cover 1t should be
public in the sense that every citizen may
know where and when IL Is being made
and by whom; but to suppose that a crowd
Of hangers-on is 10 be allowed to attend
and interfere with the counting Of the
votes at their own pleasure is ridiculous.
Il have consulted lawyer and he re-
ferred me to the laws as contained in chap
ter XVI section 1926, page $751; Of the COM
piled statutes OF Nebraska, 1909 edition.
THE law covering the canvassing OF votes
after the primary election as passed by the
1909 legislature reads as follows:
Canvass of votes cast shall, except as
herein otherwise provided, be made in the
same manner and by the same officers as
the CANVASS Oh an eieCtlon. Inc party
committeeman OF party In a precinct
canvass, the chairman or secretary of a
county committee in county can.
vass, and Of the state committee in a
state canvass or some duly appointed
agent to represent each party, shall be AL
lowed to be present and observe the pro-
mo mention is made OF anyone else who
can be present at the canvass and Il Is
not declared to be public. I think the law
is clear enough and 1t will be enforced as
1t reads The public in general will have
no admittance to the polls while the count
ing is going on, and only qualified chal-
lengers from all the parties will be al
lowed"
Both parties have arranged to have men
at the polling places Tuesday night to
watch the count and to see that their ia
vored candidates are given square deal.

Paid Up--skiIIed Men 60
Take Charge,

new plant for manufacturing structural
steel will be erected in Omaha Immediately
by the Omaha Structural Steel works,
and the business OF that company, which
has been established four years, will be
very greatly extended.
when the company was organized 1t is
sued capital stock for $4,000 and the bust
ness was undertaken on a small scale
The need Of steel produced right here in
Omaha and easily accessible was strong
enough, however to warrant a steady In
crease In the volume Of the trade and the
growth justified the selection Of Omaha
as a location for the business.
Amended articles OF incorporation for the
company have been filed, raising the
capital stock to $4,000. OF this 100000 has
been paid in and 100000 will be reserved.
The principal stockholders in the new
issue are John w. Tow1e and r. A..
Leussler of Omaha and John L. LIGHTER Of
st. Louis
1t is the intention of the company to
purchase five or six acres for a building
site and put up a modern plant for turning
out every sort OF structural steel
In addition to the Paxton g. Vierling

Creamery Gives
Up More Cones
Waterloo Company Turns Over Ice
Cream Cones Which Had Been
Rejected by Purchaser.

Through q telephone message from the
Waterloo Creamery company, United States
District Attorney Howell came into posses
sion of two more cases OF Ice cream cones,
and also completely established his charge
against the creamery Monday. An officer of
the company called up Mr.. Evans of the
pure food department, and volunteered the
information that customer had just re-
turned two cases OF the cones under the
belief that they were impure, and the COM
pany was ready to give them over to the
authorities.
This report from the creamery COM
pletes our evidence" said Mr.. Howell. 1T
affords the evidence that the cones were
being sold. which we did not have when
we raided the Waterloo company establish
ment and seized the cones first"
The two additional cases were seized in
response to the creamery company's mes
sage, and the total of cones seized by the
government in prosecution OF the pure food
law in Omaha now amounts to over $4,000
Mr.. Howell declared the action OF the
creamery in voluntarily turning over the
cones lends a mark In its favor which may
influence the authorities in the forthcom-
ing legal proceedings.
Health Commissioner Connell issued q
statement Monday morning to the effect
that the creameries themselves had asked
for the investigation which brought about
the Wholesale seizures.

VAN HUSEM
FAVORS ADAMS
AS Omaha's Best Friend in
Senatorial Race.

omaha's interest in the candidate for
United States Senator is in danger of be-
ing overlooked in the struggle for Gov

friends of the present Senator. are fight
ing under banner inscribed Against
Omaha"
What has the present Senator seeking
a denomination done for Omaha? The
answer is-Mothing, absolutely moth
ing. We need G. E. Adams in the senate
who will be doing something for the en-
tire state of Nebraska instead Of a man
plotting against the interests of the

sure his election and have a man who will
belong to Nebraska, not to any one town,
a man who will protect the interests of
Omaha and who Is beloved by all his
neighbors and who has no one running
against him in his community, or within
a hundred miles. We will be endorsing
a man who, when boy, enlisted as a
private soldier and fought for three years
for his country, ana ours, and who since
the war has enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of all who knew him.
In Captain G. y. Adams, OF Superior,
the state of Nebraska will have a Sem

Judgment will at once make him the peer
