IN COLLAPSE
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY STUDENT
DROPS UNDER STRAIN.
WHILE RELATING HER STORY
Miss Mercy Telling Jury in Her SLAM
der Suit for 100000 Against Dean
of Women in Chicago University,
Breaks Down.

Chicago, March 22.-Miss Esther
Mercy collapsed on the stand today
while testifying in her SANDER suit
for 100000 against Dean Marion Tai
bot of the University of Chicago. Her
collapse came as she was telling of
her barring from classes at the uni
versity.
The young woman declared that she
sought Dean Vincent, then a member
of the Chicago faculty, and now presi-
dent of the University of Minnesota,
and asked him to aid her
He told me that he had left the
entire affair in Miss Talbots hands,
said Miss Mercy. She pointed her
finger at President Vincent who was
in the courtroom, and exclaimed in a
shaking voice:
Dean Vincent knows it is the
truth and he cant look me in the
eye
Miss Mercy declared that Dean Tai
bot had used words to her directly at
lacking her character.
She told me that the sooner | left
the university the better it would be
! for me-
Sharp and heated answers were re.
turned by Miss Mercy to many ques-
lions put to her, touching upon her
relations with her fiance, Warren f.
Reynolds, whose present to the girl
OF hat worth $3.50 and the subse
quent theft from the headgear OF
valuable aigrettes brought about the
difficulties from which the present
suit arose.
Though Miss Talbots attorney said
he did not purpose to show that Miss
Mercy was immoral, he questioned
her repeatedly after she had admitted
she knew Reynolds was married wher
she first became engaged TO him ant
when he gave her the hat.
Miss Mercy admitted she knew
Reynolds had two children and thai
his wife was suing him for divorce
and that Reynolds had been arrested
on charges of immortality with othel
women; but she said she didn't thinl
it was the university's business 81
did not relate that fact, when, as sht
testified, Miss Talbot attacked he
character in an interview.
She said Miss Talbot told her sh,
was immoral; that she was bein:
clothed by men; that her relations
with Reynolds were not proper, ant
that she was little better than Ger

A Reply to Hitchcock.

Lincoln. March 22.-Declaring that
Gov. Harmon is reactionary and
the choice Of Wall street, William j.
Bryan has given out an editorial state
ment attacking the candidacy of the
Ohio governor. Mr.. Bryan comments
on the attitude taken by Senator
Hitchcock, favoring Gov. Harmon, and
adds:
Gov. Harmon cannot be nominated
without the active aid of Wall street

and too long for progressive demo-

mental in surrendering the party into
the control of the predatory interests.
If Nebraska's democracy instructs for

HIS NAME NOT SHORTY GRAZ
Bullet in Leg of Dead Convict Reveals
His True Identity.

Lincoln, March 22.-Charles Morley,
the one convict who lived through the
desperate battle near Omaha last Mon
day, soon will be called upon to an
swer for the part he took in the peni-
Tertiary tragedy. County Attorney
Strobe has sworn out an information
in justice court charging Morley with
murder, but has not indicated when
he will ask hearing. Morley is not
hopeful of the outcome of his case
and intimated he expected the eX-
IRENE penalty.
The bodies of Taylor and Dowd are
still in the mortuary room of the pris-
on hospital. The positive identity of
Taylor, who has generally gone under
the name of Shorty" Gray, was
learned. An autopsy on the remains
revealed bullet imbedded in his leg,
received twenty-five years ago and
went to prove what has been suspect
ed, that Taylor's right name was Will
liam Murphy.
For considerable period about
1890 Murphy was employed by John
Fitzgerald, former president OF the
Irish National League of America. Mr..
Fitzgerald was railroad contractor
and Murphy was known as the "dyna-
mite boy" his duty being to handle
the explosives used in blasting work
He became proficient in the use of eX'
plosives. He received the wound in
quarrel with one of the Fitzgerald
employees. His bad temper and hab
it's led to his discharge. His identity
was established by man who acted
as sub-contractor in railroad work and
knew him well.
| Gov. Aldrich said he would recon-
mend to the next legislature that an
appropriation be made for the family
of young Blunt, killed during the
chase of the convicts Monday.
