The insinuation was resented by Church Howe in a forcible and dramatic speech. He agreed, he said, with his colleague that he pass system had been a fruitful source of political corruption and rejoiced with him that this was an age of reform. He had caught the spirit himself and was particularly mourner's bench. "Why sirs, it is not much longer than a year that he and I and the gang rode together to political conventions on the same pass. Only a few days ago an investigating committee went down to Nemaha county from the other side of the house, and they all rode on pass, and in can give the number of passes. Within a year worthy colleague has come to me begging transportation favors, and now I am so glad that we have all agreed to reform, not that side as well. These remarks were greeted with shouts of laughter both on the floor and in the gallery, and the polished gentleman from Nemahs was the lion of the occasion.
May Admit her to Ball
Before Judge Field this morning argument was heard in the motion flied yesterday by Stearns & Strode, attorneys for Mrs. Sheedy, asking that she be discharged or admitted to ball. Mr. Storde and Mr. Stearns spoke in support of the motion asking that court order the county attorney to file information at once, or that their client be admitted to ball. The constitution provides that bail shall be accepted in all cases except treason or murder, where the proof is evident or the presumption great.
The gentlemen contented that evidence, in this case, showed that the proof was not evident nor the presumption great. They submitted a number of authorities, one from the sixty-third Ala bath, a case almost analogous to this one, and another from one of the southwestern reporter, where a man indicted for killing his child was admitted to ball, the mother, the chief witness against him testifying to threats he had made to end the chid's life. Some eighteen other authorities were submitted on the same point. The defense also files a brief setting forth these points, but County attorney Snell asked time to prepare one in opposition to there theories.
In taking the case under advertisement Judge Field intimated that under the evidence and presentment, he should be inclined to admit the defendant to bail. County Attorney Snell gave us his reason not filling the information that he was awaiting the result of the analysis now being made by Prof. Vaughn of Ann Arbor. All state constitutions except Texas have the same provision Nebraska's regarding ball. The Texas constitution states that ball can be refused la murder cases only when the proof is evident.
