200FROM THE STATE CAPITAL Speculation as to How the Sheedy Trial Will Be Conducted. DEFENSE WILL WORK HARD FOR ACQUITTAL. Police Appointments by the Excise Board---A Compromise Verdict by the Jury is the Edney Baum Case. LINCOLN, Neb., April 27---[Special to THE BEE.]---The attorneys for Mrs. Sheedy will, it is reported, make a desperate fight for her acquittal in her trial for the murder of her husband. In addition to the glory of winning the case of her attorneys have the prospect of winning a big fee, and it all depends on whether she is acquitted or convicted. In case of conviction her attorneys will not get anything, as then Mrs. Sheedy will have no claim whatever to the money of the estate. If she is acquitted she will get the bulk of her murdered husband's property and will, it is believed, deal liberally with her attorney's. Considerable, it is said, depends on the action of Monday McFarland's attorney. It is believed that they will have him plead not guilty, and Mrs. Sheedy's attorneys believe that in case he so pleads and reforms to go on the stand that Mrs. Sheedy will be saved from conviction. The prosecution, however, declared that the confession of the negro to Mayer Graham and the police officers will go in as evidence even if McFarland does refuse to appear on the witness stand. A belief is gaining ground in Lincoln that a scapegoat is to be made of the negro--in other words that he is to be hung, while Mrs. Sheedy will go free. There is, however, some very strong evidence said to be held back that will create something of a sensation when produced. | 200FROM THE STATE CAPITAL Speculation as to How the Sheedy Trial Will Be Conducted.
