The Story of the Mont-gomery Tragedy. Full Account of the Proceedings in Court-Open- ing Arguments of Attorneys for the Prosecution and Defense Testimony for Both Sides in Detail by Wire, Show-ing that Irvine Was in a State of Frenzy When He Fired the Fatal Shot. he was waiter at the Lincoln hotel; knew Montgomery by eight. On the morning in question he "was sitting at the table to the right of the door; saw the defendant on the morning of the shooting. About 7:10 he came to the dining-roo- m door as though looking for some one and then walked away, but could not tell which way he walked. Next saw him. after the first shot was tired; looked and saw the second shot tired. lie was about two feet from Montgomery. Montgomery passed between the chair and wall. Ir-Ti-said: "Lie has ruined my wife and daughter in Chicago, and I have the testimony in my pocket." He then threw some paper up and said, "Here is the evidence." He said his nr.me was Irvine and was well known here, I think. Witness took the defendant by the arm and took him to the second 6ettee in the hall, where he remained till the officers came. Montgomery fell to the floor of the dining room, where he died. C TVheldon Montgomery was sitting to the right of the man looking in at the door. Ho was sitting on the north side of the table facing the south and about three feet from the door. When he first noticed the defendant he was very near the door, less than a foot from the door, aud about three aud one-ha- lf feet from Mont-gomery. He watched Irvine closely after the first shot, but could not swear positively that he tired a second shot. Montgomery arose after the first shot, and while arising: the second shot was fired, and he walked toward the door. Irvine was cool and calm andeverbody else was excited. He might have been a little excited when he referred to the ruin of his family. Witness was paid $15 when he was subpoenaed, but denied that he had been told that ho could get more money if he wanted it as there was plenty of money in the case. He showed considerable con- - Ltxcoln, Neb., Oct. 15. Special. Upon the coming in of the court yesterday morning, the roll was called on a special Tenire of fifty, aud four absentees' attach-ments were issued to compel their attend-ance. It was found upon roll call that one of the names summoned for jury service belonged to a lady. When this was discov- - ercd. the legality of the entire special venire was questioned by several lawyers, but it v as decided that it could not aUect the validity. The panel read, Mr. Irvine came in court looking refreshed and more at ease than at any previous time since the trial. He always sits with his back to the audience, between aud slightly in front of his Salt Lake friends, facing the judge and wituess stand. He never makes any suggestions to his counsel during the proceedings, but keep his eyes steadily on each juror examined. Shortly after court convened this morning a telegraph boy en-tered and handed Ilou. O. W. Powers a telegram, which, after reading, he showed with pleasure to Messrs. Hiatt and Critehlo w, who were less pleased with its contents than the recipient, as it proved to be the resolu-tions adopted yesterday by the Liberal con-vention held at Ogden from which the gen-tleman named had expected to hear of Judge Powers' nomination for congress today, and were visibly disappointed upon hearing that be had declined beforehand to allow his name to be mentioned. The expression of regard was thoroughly appreciated by Judge Powers. All duriug the morning session, Mr. McCullough of Indiana for the prosecu-tion was mumbling opinions on objections made by Mr. Stearns to questions put, to ju-rors, aud for the first time Judge Powers his hat, but he paid no attention to any one but Montgomery. Adjourned. Upon coming into court F. W. RICHARDS testified he was night clerk aud bookkeeper of the Lincoln hotel. Saw Irvine come in about (5:20 on the morning of the tragedy. He asked for a room, but the house was full and he went out of the east door. O. JONES, a colored waiter of the Lincoln hotel, tes-tified to his position in the dining-roo- m when Irvine came to the center of the door and tired the pistol in his right band. Saw him take his hat off with his left hand as he tired. He went with all the waiters out into the kitchen when the tiring commenced. Could not say what defendant did with the hat when he pulled the papers out of his pocket. Counsel broke the weight of the wit-ness' testimony in consequence of the latter's being positive of the differ-ent utterance of Irvine after the shooting. Mr. McCullouirh commenced to examine. At tlm juncture James Owens, another waiter, was cotniug into the dining-roo-with five orders when he heard a shot and looked up when he saw another shot and dropped his tray of dishes and ran toward Mr. Owens' table at the other end of the room. He heard Irvine's exclamation and saw him throw up some papers which he took out of his inside paper aud exclaimed, "Here's the proof of it." With this evidence THE STATE RESTED. Mr. Wheedon claimed it waa the duty of the prosecution to produce all before the shooting. It is the duty of the state to bring out all facts, regardless of how they may fall, and examine as to the details of the mental condition of the defendant, whether the tendency is for or against the prosecution. If the state do not so examine witnesses on this question, the defense have a right to crr9s-exarnin- e the same as if brought out in direct examination. The condition of defendant's mind as it appeared to a witness is proper evidence, while the exact state of his mind can only be ascertained by expert testimony. Wheden cited a number of similar cases upon which opinions have been rendered, and he asked for the examination of Mr. Uppham and Mr. Jackson, who were iu the court-room and appeared as witnesses at the cor-oner's inquest. A decision in the United States supreme court was read whereby a witness could be asked for hts opinion as to the mental condition of Irvine at the time of was heard in this courtroom. He indulged in only a brief statement, but opposing counsel realizes that the defense has a coun-selor to assist that willl tolerate no trifling and cause McCullough to know his place to the end of sesfion. THE LAST JUKOB examined was James Doak, who had for-merly been engaged in business transactions with defendant but as the prosecbtion could not possibly disqualify him from ac.ing, he was permitted to take a seat iu the jur box, after which the court adjourned till 2 o'clock, and upou reconvening Mr. Snell presented the law and claimed to have evi-dence to disqualify Mr. Doak from serv-ing, but after delaying court nearly an hour they proceeded to business, excus-ing Mr. Doak by a peremptory challenge, thus running out of percmptories. After using all but one peremptory challenge, the counsel for the defense retired, and after a brief cousultation, returned to the court-- room and announced their acceptance of the jury, waiving the last challenge THE JUKI decided on is composed of eleven married and one sinirle,tnan, as follows: I. W. Jones, H. A. Hendricks, Charies tieiuchi, Henry fusion in this part of his testimony and wanted to explain, but was not permitted by the court. He claimed that $15 was for mileage, but he had only paid atout $2. He declined to say to whom be paid it because it would get a employe of the Kock Island into trouble. DR. CR1M, the next witness, is coroner of Lancaster county, physician and surgeon by profes-sion, lie knew Montgomery in life. Saw him at the Lincoln hotel dead in the corrider on the Coor. He died from a wound in the left breast, about one aud one-hal- f inches from left nipple, which went straight into the chest through the wall just below the fifth rib, passed through a sack containing the heart, cutting into the cavity, letting in the blood. This carried with it part of the watch chain, which was also imbedded in the left ventricle with the balL There was also another wound which was not of a fatal character. Witness produced two cartridge balls.which were submitted in evidence. Said death en-r-u-from the cutting of the left ventricle by a leaden ball rifled. Xo cros-ex- a ruina-tion, except as to how long he had been dead when witness arrived. D. B. SMITH, OF KEAtiNET, NEB., real estate dealer, had started to take break-fast at Liucoiu on May 20. Montgomery sat on the left of the witness at the same table. the shooting. Mr. Snell replied, stating the presumption of the law was that Irvine was sane until his sanity was attacked by expert testimony for the defense; then the state could bring in testimony in rebuttal. . . No one else was at the table. He arrived there at 7:0. Montgomery had ordered breakfast and he noticed that Moutgomery recognized Irvine and thought Montgomery was uoing to arise to receive him. Irvine fired something which witness thought was a toy pistol, and then stepped forward an-other foot aud fired a, second shot. Irvine said excitedly, "He seduced my wife and ruined my.faiuily iu Chicago. Here is the evidence and the pistol; take them." Irvine theu said in great distress: "Oh, oh, oh," and witness took the revolver and others came aud took him out of t e room. Witness took the revolver to the clerk of the hotel, who refused to take charge of it, and then held it until the officers came and claimed it. Croat-Examin- ed Was sitting about ten feet from the door. Irvine said nothing be-fore shooting. He tired as soon as Le crossed the threshold. After the second shot he made the exclamation above. Jle waa very nervous and trembled. HE MOANED MOST PITIFULLY all the time he was in the hall; his hand was trembling so violently that when he im-plored some one to take the papers, holding them up with his left ha: d, that they slipped one by one from his hands. As be fat ou the sofa he threw his arms and feet in tha air and when the officers came Koephe, Walter lloge, I. A. Gnswold, all farmers; Rudolph Kurth, W. W. Kaub, Eugene Cole, all carpeiiters. Heed Hinger, real estate agent; J. J. Lay-man, barber, and II. 11. bpaliman, not eiu- - ployed. SN'ELL MADE TUB OPENING STATEMENT, claiming two counts enumerated in the indictment, one for murder in the first and one for murder iu the secoud degree. He proposed to prove that defendant deliber-ately shot Montgomery first coming to the hotel to register and coming back later, be-ing once informed that there was no room for him, thereby showing premeditation. When he had concluded, N. C. ABBOTT, FOB. THB DBTENSB, inade the opening statement. He said there was a question for jury to decide oi more importance and much holier thau that of the mere killing of Montgomery, that they were called upon to establish the opin-ion of a Nebraska jury as to the sanctity of the precincts of home; to show to the world what value Nebraska jury olaced on the hoiiuess of the faiuily fireside. After ex-plaining the penalties for the several degrees of homicide ho said that for a person to act maliciously or with ' premeditation there muct be a thought back of the act, and that power or contro of the thoughts; otherwise one would not tie ac-countable for their action. A review of the childhood of Mr. Irvine was then made, his uecess and ability were alluded to, after which the days of tribuiation and trial, which culminated iu the tragedy, were detailed by Abbott. At t):30 yesterday morning the courtroom was crowded, among the audience being a number of ladies. Air. Irvine was, as usual, SURHOUNDKO BY HIS SALT LAKE FItlEN'DS. His appearance was as bright as could be ex-pected, considering the terrible ordeal through which he has to pass, the rehearsal cf the tragedy by witnessfcs for the prose-cution. He was dressed in a neat suit of black diagonal, with a black bow tie and had just come from the barber shop. The great strain of nerves is evinced by his steady gaze on the witnesses returned by occasionally covering hie eyes with his hands and to take him his condition was such that although the witness was an entire stranger aud never saw him before that, be felt that he would like to go with him to the jail aud try to comfort nun, and he most strangely elicited his sympathy. Witness was excused for the present, but will te re-called by the defense to testify as to the mental condition of Irvine on the morning of the shooting. C. E. TEAOI E, head waiter at the hotel, saw Irvine on the morning of the shooting about 7:17 o'clock. The first time he looked in the door around the room aud theu eft the door. Next be saw him in the p.irior, when he looked as if he hud been laying down. A few minutes later he saw him at tne door of the dining-roo- Montgomery had come in six or eight minutes before Irvine's second appearance, lie did not know of his own knowledge where Irvine had been be-tween the first and second visit to the dining-roo- . Witness rehearsed the evideuce, sim-ilar to the former witness, as to the actiou of Irvine and Montgomery. WIPING AWAT THB TEARS which he cannot control. He has the sympathy of the entire audience and it was noticed yesterday after-noon that more than one juror had recourse to his hand to hide his tears while Mr. Abbott related in full the statement of the case to be set up by the defense. Prior to proceeding to taking testimony A SURPRISE WAS SPRCXG on the prosecution by Mr. Wheadon calling McCullough to the stand to prove that since the order excluding Lambertson from coun-sel for prosecution he had been in consulta-tion with counsel for prosecution giving them advice and taking an active part in the prosecution, wherefore the defense moved that McCullough be excluded from the case because he had been in court during the entire time of contest-ing Lambertson's eligibility to act as counsel and was cognizant of the ruling of the court. The motion was overruled. GEORGE MUXDEX WAS SWORX ' , and testified that he lives ia Des Moines, Ia. ; was waiter oa a dining car. Oa May 'M last ' C. W. ViRSIT, grain dealer, boarded at the Lincoln hotel on the morning of the shooting and was arosed from reading his paper oy a pistol hot, aud looking up he heard another and taw Montgomery arise, place his band on his chest, aud with a groan start toward the door. Witne3 ran to help him and arrived just in time to catch him as he fell on his knees, and wit-ness caused his head to rest on his knee un-til a pillow arrived. He asked him if he bad anything to say, to say it quick. He made 110 answer, but died iu a few minutes with-out a word. Witness formerly slightly knew Irvine. Only heard Irvine say about, "Here are proofs," but he paid little attention to anyone except Montgomery. Cross-Exambtc- d Witness saw a man fire a shot but could not say it was Irvine; saw, who ever it was, tu&t be had some papers ia ASKING FOR PARDON. Train Kobber and Forger Tired of Conliiieraent.

Mr. James Linden, for many years a faithful and trusted employe of the Anchor mine, met with a severe and what may prove a fatal accident in the above mentioned mine last Wednesday morning. While pursuing hik usual duties his lamp went out and he started for the station to secure a light when he in some manner, it is supposed, missed his way and fell down a chute a distance of thirty-fiv- e or forty feet, receiving a fracture of the skull and also internal injuries about the lungs. He was picked up insensible and conveyed to his home, where Drs. Grrgor and Wilson attended him. For some thirty-si- x hours he lay in an unconscious condition, when It was decided from the symptoms that an operation would be neces-sary aud the doctors proceeded to trephine ihe skull. Although the scalp was not brok-en the doctors found the skull badly frac-tured and extracted several pieces of the splintered bone. The brain tissues had been punctured and the wound is exceedingly dangerous. Up to a late hour yesterday the patient, though apparently resting easily, had not recovered consciousness, and but little hopes are now entertained of his re-covery. Mr. Linden has a wife and two small chil-dren aud the community is much saddened by this very deplorable accident. Last Wednesday afternoon the boy of Martin McGrath received a broken arm by falling from a wagon north of town. The arm was set by Dr. Lawrence, and yesterday the little fellow was reported easier, although suffering severely from his wound. A two-hors- e rig belonging to Ives & Keith, stablemen, broke from a hitching post up the Ontario canyon Thursday afternoon and started to run down the canyon toward the city. They passed in safety several loaded teams, but the carriage, a fine two-seate- d veblo, came to grief at a stone pile a half mile from the point of starting. About the only part of the carriage that was not de-molished was the tongue. The horses were captured farther down, uninjured, but the carriage had to be loaded on a wagon after the manner of kindling wood. It ia sup-posed that school children at play near by frightened one of the horses, whose record for running has been noted on several occa-sions before.

A Reporter Ships as a Sailor to Discover Her Secret. San Francisco, Oct. 15. The Examiner this morning prints a long account of a cruise of the steamer Montserrat which arrived from Guatemala ou Thursday, after having landed there nearly 400 natives of Gilbert Island to work allegedly under con-tract for five years to wealthy planters. The account, was written by an Examiner reporter who shipped on the Montserrat last April as a sailor. The account declares Montserrat' is a slave ship, that the natives were sold in Guatemala for $100 etch, the amount being taken in the guise of passage mouey. The account shows the islanders got on board by questionable meth-ods, amounting in some cases practically to kidnapping. The commander of the vessel Is W. II. Ferguson, who was connected with the other alleged slave ship Tahiti, which foundered with 400 natives on board. The account adds that of 400 natives taken in Guatemala two years ago, only 180 are now alive, all others having succumbed to dis-ease. GOULD DENIES IT. Bat Rumor Insists that the TVestorn TJt-t- ; ion Will Bay tha Postal Telegraph. Sz w York, Oct 15. George Gould says ho knows of no negotiations looking to the ac-quirement of the Postal Telegraph company by the Western Union. Postal people also deny any knowledge of such negotiations, but the rumor is still persistently current In Wall street and the bltef general that some sort of deal is on foot. A MISERABLE FAKE. Joseph Itraua Warn Not Waylaid and Robbed. The Herald this .morning perpetrated a miserable fake, which will not redound to its credit as a journal, nor advance It more than a notch or two In the estimation of a public which appreciates news such aa The Times is wont to give them. Under the caption "The Work of Fiends" it states that 'Joseph Braun, a real estate man and money lender, was beaten nigh unto death, his pockets rifled of a large sum of money aud watch, and his senseless body thrown into the Ontario hotel excavation." No such an occurrence took place. It has been investigated by the police, and they re-port that it was solely and simply a case of drunk; that the man fell over the low board fence aligning the excavation on Second South street, west of the Scott warehouse and, although badly bruised by the fall, he was not unconscious for a moment.
