Soon to be Finished
.
David City , Neb. , Feb. 2.1.-'fhe
third week 01' the Lillie IIII11"der trial
began Monday morning. When court
adjourned Saturday evening the state
bad Introduced twenty-flve , witnesses
of the forty-six endUlsed on the in-
formation. It , is generally under
stood that sOllie of the witnesses for
the state will not be called until the
testimony of the defense Is in , when
the state will introduce evidence in
rebuttal. CounselJol' the state think
they will conclude the examination
\vitlwsses by tomol'fOW evening.
.Mrs. Lillie Is showing the elfects of
. . .iJ the trying ordeal. She is paJe and
presents a care-worn , tired appearance -
ance , but seems to take great interest
in the case by watching every word
of the testimony as given by the witnesses -
nesses on the stand. O. easlonally
she speaks'to her counsel , presmnahly
In reference to the evidence addueed
by the witnesses on the stand. Considering - !
sidering the gravity of the crime with
which ! ) he is charged and the fact
that she is not a person of 1II0re than
average physique she is standing
the trying ordeal with remarlmble
fortitudl' .

this order some time in the forenoon

"She called me two 01' three times
about the matter and I told her the
margin would he $200 and if the market -

as follows :
"l\lr. \ Hl1n 'on : I have just learned

"Since the death of11' : : . Lillie 1

This letter was identilled by the witness -

'l'ho next Jetter I received through

Secretar'y Moody IIrgued that it
would be a mlstalw to olrcr a bonus
for the completion of the r ssels

two months ago he directed that no
fUlther extension of time be lJer11l1 tted
except by his personal ordcr. '
' 1'he chief construetor"s report show ! ;
tlmt MICro are seren causes for delay
in 1In'al : work , namely : ,
Inudequate 1)lans ; changes In armor
or urmament or design ; delays In delivery -
livery of armor and ordlnancc ; delays
in gorel'l1ment inSIJection j delays in
structural steel ; dchl "s due to inadequate -
quate fa e ill Lies and Insut1lclent ab\li \ ty
in the ' Hnd delI '

due to Inadequate supply of skilled
.
lahor.
All of these subjects are treated in
det.ail in the report and the point is'
made that after all the apparent
greater speed In BnJtllsh ship J'ards
is due to the fact that the vessels are
delivered by the contractors in very
incomplete condition to the government -
ment which spends several years In
many instances lu equipping the ship
for cOlUmlsslon.
