JUDGE ENGLISH'S
ILLNESS SERIOUS
Jurist Compelled to Fight for Life
as Cost Of Remaining at Post
During Hauser Trial.
COMPLICATIONS FOLLOW GRIPPE

Illness Of District Judge James P.
English which followed the trial and
conviction Of Arthur Hauser Of the
murder of W. H. Smith has reached
stage where the judge is fighting
for his life, according to reports
which reached his friends and asso-
ciates at the court house yesterday.
Physicians said last night that
an operation had been performed to
relieve a dropsical condition Of the
liver; that his condition was seri-
Gus, but that all three doctors who
are attending him are predicting his
recovery.
Judge English braved a serious at
tack of grippe to remain at his post
throughout the Hauser trial. After
the case ended he was confined to
his bed by physicians orders. For
more than a month he has been
suffering with complications OF his
ailment.
Sentence Not Pronounced.
Hauser has not yet heard Judge English
pronounce the sentence of life imprison-
mont In the penltentiary which the jury
said should be imposed on him and the
motion for a new trial has not been
heard. When told of the judges condition
the condemned murderer ssM soberly:
Perhaps he Is as bad off as ] am"
The man is still being held in the county
Jail.
When a request was made during the
trial for a continuance on the ground
that Hauser was III. Judge English said
He is not as sick as 1 am"
Hsuser promptly recovered from a
slight sore throat. The Judge became dan
gerously i'll.
Trial AEEravates Illness.
The attack Of grippe was aggravated by
by tho heat and vitiated atmosphere
which was the result OF the daily packing
of the court room by hundreds of specta-
tors. Judge English frequently requested
that windows be opened and by his orders
the room was aired during each recess.
Several consultations of physicians
have been held at Judge English's home,
SIS South Thirty-first street,
Judge English has more than a local
and state reputation. He was formerly
county attorney and for many years mas
been a practicing attorney in Omaha. He
was appointed judge Of the district court
to succeed Howard Kennedy and was re-
elected by the voters.
Judge Graves Of Pender. who presided
in Judge Engllshs court last week, was
asked by local judges to return this week
and agreed to do so.
