WE NEBRASKA PRIMARY LAW SUPREME COURT GIVES HEARING TO LOCAL State Makes a Game Fight to Protect Its Verdict While Defense is Sure of New McCoy Denounced as a mental Liar The attorneys in the Ben son case were back in the city morning and at their various offices The state's side of the case was pre- sented by James Glenn he being assisted by Prosecutor Dowell and Attorney Wheeler who Is assistant prosecutor in the The defense was looked after by Judge Voorhees and Attorney Ad- ams The attorneys went to bus Monday evening and the ing on oral argument came up be- fore the state supreme court day morning After court convened a number of cases were dismissed want of preparation and one by compromise At the called the Ben Dickerson Case Ai hour was allotted each side for argument James Glenn and explained the contentions set up in his brief and reply brief Mr Glenn was followed by Judge who during three-quarters an hour gave consideration to the law involved During the while argument the court put but to the attorneys and was addressed to the judge Tkf state did not print the entire record and In such circumstances it the rule there is no error in the of i ecord not printed and it is no consideration by the court The was with ref i to the Trego testimony and inquired to know if the de- alleged there evidence by not contained in the record The Judge nle said to the court that no Voorhees gave strongest stress to hi r that Hen DicKerson was to a fair trial as the probabilities of hid guilt or i nee On this point he quoted n decision of the court itself case where a prosecuting was permitted to a ad libitum with reference to history and whether or not had time in the penitential y In the argument to the jury this pros it appear he not to the pen record that if this had been done have proven the witness a The decision held that the ar proceeded from a foundation and that for- it was prejudicial The primary of the law i to find if an c is a illy or innocent -t t sarily where presumption ot either guilt or innocence enters the whole structure of the case becomes from that point vitiated and hence unfair The case referred to was reversed on such a contention and on the test of fairness the judge hopes to have the circuit court sustained In its ing Mr Adams followed the judge and he gave his time to an analysis of the character of the evidence He tore the McCoy testimony to shreds and reached a startling climax when he characterized this witness as a monumental liar He pointed the numerous places in the evidence where the defense holds McCoy ly contradicts all the other witness Mr Adams directed his second at- tack upon the blood hound evidence and he made a caustic reply to the brief of the plaintiff in error on the question of scents The strong of contention in the case are the testimony of Tom McCoy the evidence based on the work of the blood hounds the ner in which Judge Eason permitted the character witnesses presented for to be cross examined and the burning of the Hughes home Mr Glenn made the closing argu and lie gave considerable time tn a of Tom as n the state The attorneys on both sides bavi of study i case and cry feature of
