Trial of Grain
Man Indicted in
1918 Begins Here
Jury Impanelled to Hear
Charges Against Man Al.
legged to Have Forged
Rail Bills.

A jury was being impanelled yes.
terday to hear the trial of William
K. Richter, grain man, which is ex,
pected to begin today in federal
court before Judge j. w. Wood,
rough.
The story OF meteoric rise and
fall in Omaha society is said to be
lowering over the federal court il,
this case.
Richter was indicted on five counts
by the federal grand jury April /,
All counts charge forgery on rail-
road bills of lading in an effort to
defraud.
In July, 1917. the charges read,
Richter forged the name of H. Stub
bleheld, agent for the Union Pacific
system in Fremont. to bills of lading
for 5000 pounds of corn.
Richter forwarded these bills of
lading to Chicago banks, the true
bills further charge, and used them
in this way to operate on the grain
exchange in Omaha in an effort to
defraud Lamson Brothers, grain
brokers.
The corn was originally consigned
to H. Bogard OF Chicago, according
to the charges, but Richter, while
operating on the Omaha grain ex-
change, claimed he held that much
corn in reserve.
The morning was occupied with
hearing of pleas and in the after
noon the court settled down to I'M
panelling the jury.

peror and empress, calling her tc
Doom. The princess, who then was
in Vienna had not reached Doom
when her mother died.
Last night the patient was only
semi-consciouo. She was kept from
suffering by frequent hypodermie
injections, but her breathing ap.
peared to become hourly more diff
ficult.
As the day broke breathing be-
come still more difficult for the fail
ing patient and her pulse grew
weaker.
Ex-Kaiser With Her.
1t then was evident to the ply
sicians that the end was near, and
Dr.. Haesner warned former En-
peror William and Prince Adalbert
Of its approach.
The ex-empress became uncon-
scioIs and her breathing became
fainter and fainter until at 6 o'clock
life left her frail body.
The ex-emperor stood at the bed
side with bent head as death came
to his consort, and he remained in
the room for some time afterward.
Empress Augusta Victoria was
born on October p, 1858. at the Cas-
tie of Dolzig, the daughter of the
late Duke Frederick of Schleswig-
Holstein- -Sonderburg -Augustenburg.
Her father, the grand duke of Schlos-
wig-Holstein, was comparatively poor
and his wife and daughters were
compelled to practice the most rigid
economy.
There was never the suspicion OF a
romance in her life until she had
reached the 22nd year of her life, and
was asked to marry Prince Friedrich
Wilhelm, the eldest grandson Of En-
peror William |.
From the beginning of her mar
ried life Princess Augusta Victoria
devoted herself to the most perfect
fulfillment of her duties as wife and
mother. Her first child, Prince
Friedich Wilhelm, was born on May
E, 1882. and by the time he had
reached his 10th year, he had we
brothers and a baby sister, who was
born in 1892. The fact that. six
years after her marriage her husband
succeeded to the throne and she be-
came German Empress, did not in
the least change her attitude. She
remained the same simple housewife
that she had been from the beginning
devoted to her domestic duties and
the comfort and welfare of her hus-
band and her children.

changed somewhat during the COM

Not since the elections of 1912 did
the voters of the country make such
sweeping changes in the political
| complexion of the house as was
made by the elections of last No.

to the house 2o0 democrats, 124 re-

gressive republicans, and inde-
pendent.
In the present house there is one
socialist, Meyer London. of New
York, an experienced legislator who
has seen previous service in the
house. There are about o5 men,
bers of the house who come in
without any previous experience in
congress, and these with over 100
others make up the total of 200
members who have seen two years
and less of service.
Most of the democratic members
/ are experienced. They are from the
south. just about half-a-dozen of
them coming from the northern
states. But even in the south the
democratic ranks were thinned at
the last elections, the republicans
having made gain of members from

Two Nebraskans
Testify Against
Supply Company
Farmers Charge Minneapolis
Firm With Misrepresenta-
ton in Contracts and
Quality of Goods.

Minneapolis, April 1i.-(Special.,
Two farmers from Nebraska have
been called by. the federal govern
ment as witnesses against II owners
and employees of the Consumer:
Service and Supply company. now
on trial in the United States distric,
court here on the charge of de.
, frauding farmers in a dozen states
out of amounts alleged to aggregate
$250,000.
The trial is expected to continue
for at least a month and hundreds OF
witnesses are to be summoned. The
Nebraska farmers who already have
testified are Thomas Bunda of Sew
ard and Joseph Nash of Almeria.
Bunda, he first witness to be
called, testified that he had paid $22
for service contract with the COM
pany when w. E. Quigley, former
organizer for the Nonpartisan league
in Nebraska. but at that time re.
pudiated by the league, informed him
that he company could furnish him
with farm machinery and other COM
moditics at saving
Misunderstood Contract.
Bunda declared that he understood
the $22 would supply him with the
company's service for FIVE years, but
found later that the contract he had
signed bound him to pay $S5 for the
five years service.
The defense, in its cross examina-
ton, brought out that Bunda had
used the company's service only once
and at that time had obtained the
paint and oil he ordered and a re-
fund on his purchase price for
range which he failed to get.
Nash testified he could not re-
member signing a contract. The
production of his signed contract
aroused the ire of Judge Page Nor
ris, who is presi ling at the trial.
II have. no patience with such
stupidity the Judge declared.
. Bought Overalls.
Nash was cultivating corn when
an agent approached him, he said,
and asked what he had paid for his
overalls. To his reply of $3.50 the
agent assured him that the COM
pany would charge him but half as
much. he said.
Did you ever order any overalls
from the company William Ander-
son, assistant United States district
attorney, 2 d.
-Four pairs" Nash replied.
What kind were they?"
The poorest I ever saw"
The defense later brought out that
it had refunded Nash's money for
the ove-alls.

Deserted Girl-Wife to
Return to Parents

Dorothy Wharton, II, after two
months experience at the hands of
the world, is going back to her home
in Denver, where her mother and
father await her. She was arrested
last week and is held on a health
charge in the detention hospital. Her
husband has disappeared. She was
married last February in Denver,
she told Miss Gwen Goddard of the
Humane society.
Miss Goddard telegraphed her
parents and got an immediate reply.
They say they are overjoyed to hear
of their daughter once more and
have already mailed ticket for her
to come home.
"Oh, it will be lovely to get back
to the dear old home again." sobbed
Dorothy when she was told.
