Gives Testimony.

Mild conflict between II. T. Brass Of
South Omaha, a witness for the state
and w. J. Conneli. attorney for the de-
PENDANT regarding Brass testimony and
further arguments between Mr.. Connell
and Attorney General Mullen on the ques-
ton Of msterianty OF general testimony
regarding illegal liquor sales were tho
features OF Thursday mornings sitting Of
the Donahue custer hearing before Referee
Robert Il. Evans. The rest Of the sitting
was occupied with testimony Of Fred A.
Carey, reporter for the Omaha Daily
News. and r. c. Jones, 22O9 Leavenworth
street, both of whom told OF buying liquor
in Omaha at illegal hours.
Examination Of MIR Brass was begun
Wednesday and continued for about an
hour and a half Thursday morning. In
cross-examining Mr.. COnnell made a thor
ough examination regarding the motives Of
witness Investigations, bringing out state
ments that witness first trip through the
district was made upon request Of Elmer
+. Thomas and that when witness made
subsequent trips he knew that such evil
dence as he secured was to be used against
Chief Donahue rather than against the
actual violators Of the law.
Mr.. Cornell asked the witness (Brass) IL
he was not a witness in the trial Of Frank
Erdman in the district court a few weeks
ago and II he did not testify that he be-
lieved the city and county officials, as
well as the court and jury, were corrupt
Mr. Mullen objected to the question as
improper. Mr.. Connell said the answer
would tend 10 show how much weight
should be given the witness testimony.
Referee Evans ruled that the witness
should answer. Brass answered Yes"
Fred A. Carey testified to purchasing
beer in several restaurants and resorts
after o'clock in the evening, TO being
refused beer in one place, the proprietor
saying he had been raided by the police
and forced to pay q 500 fine, and 20 fit,d-
ing one restaurant that had been violating
the law closed by the police
When the hearing reconvened Mr.. Brass
was on the witness stand. Attorney Gen
eral Mullen began his examination where
he had left off the previous evening. Wit
ness answered by reading from his notes
quired to testify from memory, using the
notes merely to refresh his memory, or
else that the state be required to offer
the notes in evidence. Referee Evans said
he would grant the request. Mr. Mullen
asked witness to use the notes 10 refresh
his memory. Witness said Il prefer TO
read from my notes"
THE court has a little something to say
regarding what you DO" said Mr.. Connell.
