crossing steadily. over sixty talesmen have
been summoned. The state has subpoenaed
over twenty witnesses and the defense one.
Judge Guy T. Graves Is on the bench.
The court room was filled on the first
day. The prisoner very pale from confine-
ment in jail maintains unusual composure,
a slight twitching Of her eyes being the
only sign OF nervousness.
The prevailing opinion Is a light sentence
will be imposed. The defense intimates
that letters OF the murdered man to the
prisoner will tend to palliate her crime.
on November "A last as Ira Churchill. a
prominent farmer OF this county, was sit
ting on a stool milking, Maggie Davis, his
housekeeper, walked into the barn and,
with these words on her lips. You know
what ! told you I would do IL you lied to
me-" shot him. yes / know" feebly re-
piled her victim as he. fell over corpse,
and these were the last words he ever ut
tered
She did not attempt to cover up her
crime nor escape the consequences. She
walked calmly out Of the barn and in
formed an approaching neighbor Of what
she had done. She said Il think 1 have
killed him." referring to Ira Churchill and
when the officers Of the law arrived she
gathered her few effects together and ac-
companied them without resistance to the
county seat
Mrs. Davis became estranged from her
husband several years ago and had been
for some time the housekeeper at the
Churchill home. About a month before
the tragedy Mr. Churchill was married to
another woman. Mrs Davis daughter is
living with an aunt near Coleridge.

LINCOLN. March lA-(SpeciaL The re
port Of the university removal committee
was approved by the senate this afternoon
after a delay OF several weeks. Tbbets
tried 10 get through a motion not to con-
bur but was defeated, "a to 10. Oils. chair
man Of the committee which reported for
removal, insisted that some action be taken
upon the decision, which has already been
approved by the house. Tibbets spoke
against the removal, declaring that IL
would be unwise financially and educR-
tionally TO remove the buildings from the
city campus to the farm campus
Senator Brown Of Lancaster said the
question was one Of business sdministra-
ton. He stated the alternative OF a -lmill
levy for removal or a half Of l-mill levy
for maintenance rs the campuses are now.
The immediate expenses would be greater
in consolidation, but the purpose of the
university would be better served
Skiles said II was understood that IL any
member Of the committee wished TO op-
pose the 1-mill levy the remainder of the
committee was under agreement not 10
complain and he, as a member OF the COM
mittee. was willing to see the university
remain where II Is. The important thing
he said, was to adopt some policy and
following that, TO give the university a
generous levy
Tibbets' Motion Fails.
Tibbets moved not to concur in the COM
mittee report and that the present location
be retained Banning acked why such
action was necessary as the report was
largely noncommittal. Seleck OF Lam
caster, speaking for the citizens of Lin
coin. said tho people of the city were in
different They appreciated the university,
he said, as the greatest state institution,
but they did not feel that the removal
would affect their relation 10 the campus.
''The people only know" said Senator
Solleck. that Il win cost nearly s2OOO,0O0
more to raise the university TO the samo
degree Of efficiency at the farm than with
out removal In tho ten years ofrtransition
the work will be confused. For a better
institution in the end we have only hopes.
and / think We ought to have more than
hopes for such risk" lie covered the
arguments based upon the fact that many
young men earn their way through school
and would be hlndered in this II the
campuses are consolidated. The agricul-
tural school. he said, would be completely
swallowed up.
Senator Tibbets made slight change in
his motion to avoid any suggestion of crti-
cisinz the committee
Jansen Of Gage said the campuses ought
to be consolidated now instead of putting
it off to some future time. Lee OF Boyd
and Reagan OF Douglas spoke for the re-
moval They argued that the committee
had spent time in considering the question
and ought TO be supported
One Mill Sufficient.

| support of removal from the start have
thought that h-mill levy would suffice

seemed to be well over the amount that
would probably be absolutely necessary.
