THE OMAHA DAILY BEE , TUESDAY , APRIL 8 , 1890. 5 1 SUSPECT FRANK HAD A GUN , ' - * Preliminary Hearing Held Yesterdiy at r" at Elkhorn , THE STORY OF OIIROHISTER'8 ' MURDER i Mrs. I.nctl Dotnll.H Her UclntlotiH wlili tlio Murdered ? Ian null if In HUH- ! peeled Miinlcrcr li'rnnk j Held AVItlioul Hall. 1 Yesterday morning at 10:10 : o'clock Sheriff IJoyd niul Deputy Grebe took Tony Frank and Awstcen Hcctl , suspected of the mur der of William ClironLstcr , to Elkhorn - horn fur tlio preliminary hearing In the case. Friink was manclctl while Heed was In no way decorated with Irons. This luck of adornment was duo to the fact Hint Heed , It Is thought , will l > o nhlo to provo that ho was not connected with tliu horrible crime. The sheriff was accompanied by County Attoniey Mnhonoy , who will conduct the hearing for tlio state. Frank was also accompanied by his at torney , M. P. O'Hricn. and Heed had with him his counsellors , Messrs. Hawesaml Hlchmond. There was also present a Hnrink- llnir of other legal talent and Interested Indi viduals who felt that the case was one of more than ordinary Interest. Frank siiillcd upon almost every person whoso attention was attracted by his chained hands and seemed In no way 19 feel that he wiw charged with the gravest crime In the category. On tin- arrival of the party nt Elkhoni the officers were met by Constable PoppeiilniKon , Justice Schmidt and a large delegation of farmers and citizens of the place. There was also a delegation of Frank's friends from Mllliml. By a previous arrangement with the pro prietor of the drove house , lunch was served and at noon the examination was begun be fore Justice Schmidt in the o ] > era house. The hull was crowded by funnel's , many of whom knew the accused , while to others he was a perfect stranger. These , as well as those who knew the man , eyed him sharply niul commented on his appearance , which was far from prepossessing. Homo of them muttered curses , others in subdued tones condemned the crime and expressed the be lief that Frank was the party who had coin- milled it. Some remarks were made showing lhat an undercurrent had been In circulation which suggested the propriety of lynching. IJr. C. W. Baldwin of Klkhorn testified to having made a post mortem examination on William Chromsler and that death had been caused by n gun shot wound , the shot of which had entered the brain. The witness was cross-examined by E. Crowd ! of Omaha , the intent being to determine whether or not 'the shot had taken an upward direction for the purpose of ascertaining whether the shot hnd IKICII 11 red 1 > 3 * a small or a tall man. The evidence showed that the shot had taken an upward direction and must have been llred by a small man. Charles Strobel , who was in Ihe house when Chronister was shot , testified that ho and his wife had been in the kitchen with Mrs. Heed and Chronister a short time before - fore the shooting ; that he and his wife left and wont into the front room. Soon after he heard a cracking noise as of the breaking of glass. Ho looked Into the kitchen and saw that Chronister had been shot. He locked the house and wont with his wife and Mrs. Heed to a neighbor's. It was then .SI0 : ! o'clock at night. Ho returned atll0 : : ! with Mr. Babbit and others and Chronister was sitting in the chair dead. Strobel was cross-examined by Mr. O'Brien but made no material change in his state ment. Mrs. Gertrude Heed , wife of Awstcen Heed , one of th" susccted ] murderers , detailed her moving to the scene of the murder. Chronts- ter , called during the storm on Tuesday. Shu objected to his remaining , but Mr. and Mrs. Strobel said it would bo cruel to turn him away on such n night. Ho was acordingly al lowed to remain. On the night of the mur der , C'hnmister sat at the table , his head near the window. Tlio lower part of the window was about as high as a man's shoulder. She sat mi the cast hide of the table writing a list of articles Clironister was naming which she was to bring to him from Omaha the next day. She heard a crashing and thought it was the breaking of the lamp chimncv. She went into the pantry to see what had occas ioned the noise , she then went into tlio front room and Mrs. Stro bel screamed that Chronistor was shot. She then looked at him. Chronister was leaning back and his eyes were open. She left the house and went to a neighbor's after the shooting. She did not see Chronister again until the next morning. Frank's board expired March fith. Ho remained a few weeks longer , when witness told him ho could stay no longer. A man named Htihy worked on the farm but Frank made it so unpleasant for him that ho loft. Frank told her when he went to bring her homo from Elkhorn that Chronister hnd been to thehousoduringher ab sence. Frank and Chronister met at Strobel's before the latter moved to the house of wit ness. The witness told Frank that she had no further use for him because she was afraid of him. The witness then went out and went to bed through the window. Ono day Frank offered to go with her for hay and the witness said she didn't want his help. Ho got on the load of buy and was told to get down , if ho didn't she would make him. Ho got down and hung around tlio bam. Monday night before the sliodtliif ; Frank ctillcil with a tnmvlnvli ho loft leaning against \ \ tree ten feet from the front door. Frank s.tid the KHII belonged to Jlr. lialjbitt. Ho also owneil a small ruvolvor ivhli'li oia'o bolotiticd to Mre. Heed's huslmnd , and which the witness traded to Frank for another revolver , tluvo weeks bcfora the Chronistor and Frank became acquainted nt Ueed's fann near Mlllard , Tliuy always jjnarivlcd over some poods Chronister isold.as also about the cleaning of a stall. A Unlit was prevented by the witness and her hus band. The day before the Icilltnc Frank and Chronister wcro on uncommonly' friendly terms. Cross cxamliiVrd by Mr. Crowell , Mi's. Heed otated that she had resided in the stale about eight years. She jiet Heed Jlvo years ao , married him four years ngo , nnd separated from him six weeks before the murder. She met Chroni.ster last summer and was on peed terms with Frank until after she moved. She disliked him because ho was tr.vintr to run her business nnd was nfrnid of him because lie looked strangely nnd acted strangely at times. Kho was afraid moro for the stock than for herself. She told him to leave be cause ho was repulsive In his actions. Her husband and Chronister were on good terms but her husband and Frank were lint on the best of terms. When Chronister was shot the witness looked nt the lamp and nt the table and thought it was broken , hut did not look nt Chimiister at nil and did not look at any window. She ran to Mrs. Strobel in tlio front room , who was crying that her baby was dead. She took the bubv and told the mother the child was not dead. Mrs. Strobel exclaimed , ' 'My God , Chronister Is shot ! " The witness did not go near Chrtmlstor. Air. Kceil ami Claxmister bad had a quarrel n month bcforo she sepa rated from her husband. r Mrs. I.uclmhl Shlpinan , who KMided nt the fann at which Chionister was murdered up to.MaivhUI , testilled that Frank had been stubborn nnd abusive In bis conduct and had been told by Mrs. Ueod that ho could not stay there any longer. The last night ho was at the farm witness told him to como in nnd go to IKH ! bcvau.so she thought ho would bd less dangerous Insldo than out , Ct oss-examincd by Mr. O'llrlcn witness mild Frank had used * language which witness would not nso In court. She wns afraid of Uhn every night she slept and hung " coat over tlm window whilv Frank was outside , so Ito couldn't look Inside , as she thought ho niiiiht shoot her , The witness winced under the cross-exam ination somewhat to the amusement of the crowd , and declared as slio lofl the stand that Blu > did not want "u fellow llkotlwt" toques- tion her. Kdiui Shopman , daughter of tbo preceding witness , corroborated Mrs. Heed's testimony iv anllng her ordering Frank to g t off the loud of hay. Joseph C. KCMVOS testtlled that ho nnd Mr. Habbitt , Mr. Albro and Mr. Tunlston went to the Heed house about 11 :3tl : o'clock , the night of the tunrdi > r , found the dotul man In the chair , with lu\ul leaning toward the window ; the chulr was near the f rauiu : brought n sofa Iiinu south room , placed It east of the dead xuau's chair , and placed Chronlster upon It Cross-exumliica Wcut throut'U door of kitchen ; dcnd man's fiicc wns rather toward the door lending Into the front room , nnd thought from the door blood might Iw seen on the fiicc pf the deceased If thcro had been bloo t there. Joseph Ilnbbltt testified that the Handy housu In which Frank stopped the night of the murder was nlwut three-quarters of u mlle from his house. Frank commeneetl to work for him on Friday preceding the Loulsvillo cyclone : had another man working for him named Drown ; Frank quit working for him on Thursday morning ; met him next day on road near the Heed house ; latter told witness to leave money owed him nt Mrs. Heed's ; ho was going towards witness' house : ho tutned itlxnit nnd went toward Mrs. Heed's ; met him Saturday n mile from Oretna ; witness saw him on his ( witness1) ) farm , Inside his barn , nlxmt (1'W : o'clock Sunday evening ; talked from live to ten minutes ; Frank said he was going to stop nt Billy f'oppcnlmger's , half a mile north of Handy's ; left Frank In barn ; In fair weather hum door was left oj > on ; never locked ; there was n breech-loading gun In ham ; It was between ther Joists of the hay mow ; had cleaned nnd loaded the gun ten days before ; loaded It with cartridge ; did not Imow the size of shot ; from the shot remaining in the bottle thought it was uniform in size ; gun was ten ftct from the door nnd nlxrat six feet toward the south ; a long man could reach It where it hung ; a short man couldn't ; there was a carpenter's saw .horse near by on which H man could stand to roach the weapon ; n man could not work in the barn without noticing the gun : saw gun last Monday at the Heed house ; It was empty und indicated that tlio gun had been recenlfy discharged ; it was damp and smelled of powder ; barrel moderately clear ; Mr. lleoves ran a rag through barrel ; when ' ngun Is discharged tno Interior of the barrel is damp ; after the ] x > wdcr dries rust forms and the i > owder becomes red ; county line runs south of him : the road to Mrs. Heed's runs west of his place ; hedge fence on the sldo of the road ; there Is on opening for cattle with a bank on the outside. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Brien : Was sure ho had reloaded the gun after ho had cleaned it ; used n rat ? in denning ; there was kerosene on the nig ; the calibre of the gun was about 5S ; had no knowledge of anybody using the gun ; did not know that Brown , his other farm hand knew the guu wns in the barn ; Brown hud the same chance to sco the gun Frank had ; did not sco the gun on the day of the murder ; did not Hnd the gun where he hud left it ; it was brought to him nt the Heed House. He-direct : Could not , tell whether the gun had boon loaded before a man named Tollman had left him or not ; witness had not dis charged it ; the shot ho bought was uniform. air.

I'reston Heed said he has had some experi ence with llro arms ; examined the gun : hinelled it and scented burnt jmwder ; looked through it ; saw a dark cast in the barrel ; pushed a rag through the barrel : the nig was black when it came out and smelled of pow der ; when the powder was damp it was black ; when it dried it became lighter in color ; the gun had been discharged within forty-eight hours. Mrs. Hoed was recalled by the sUitfl nnd said that she had beard Frank once , probably twice , say that ho "would llx him , " meaning Mr , Chronister. On cross-examination she admitted that Frank and Chronister had slept together after that and seemed to bo on good terms. Mrs. Shlpman was also recalled nnd said that she had heard Frank say twice that he and Chronistcr would not bo friends again , and that ho was going to whip him and llx him all right. He told witness after Chronis ter had loft the house ono day ; had heard Frank say that he and the peddler had had a light nt tlio Willow farm , and that they would never again bo friends. H. A. Nolto testified to finding footprints In the snow ; they extended into the gulch northwest of the house ; they were measured bv a piece of n cornstalk ; [ stalk , showing by a'notch , the width of the heel , wns intro duced : ] the prints weiv of the same size and going in the same direction ; the step was measured by a resin weed ; the prints were about live or six feet apart , as if the owner of the feet had been running away. A. O. Handy testiiled that bis house was nbout three-quarters of a milo from the Heed liouso and the sanio distance from Mr. Bab bitt's ; Frank came to his house at 10:30 : last Sunday night week , and woke him up ; wit ness opened the door and let him in ; looked at his watch ; it was 10:80 : ; witness said : "You're a little late , arn't you ! " Frank said ho thought it was only ! ) o'clock ; said ho had Just returned from Mlllard ; Frank stopped there that night and next morning went in a northeastern direction , where he said he wns going to Hnd work. George Brown , the other farm hand of Mr. Babbitt's testilied ho had seen the hitter's gun in the bin n ; had never used it himself and did not know of any other party around the place who had. William Poppenhagcn , constable , testified Frank did not stop at his house on Sunday night before the murder ; arrested him Mou- dnv morning ; followed him from Mr. Heed's , half a mile east , struck his trail through n meadow , n blind road , n corntiold on which foot prints were visible on the snow , then on to the road about eighty rods east from David Warren's , und came up with him ; very little of the tniil was on the road : took Fmnk to Mi's. Heed's ; Frank changed his clothes : took oil his boots and put on his shoes ; the boots were torn but witness could not Identify them : Mr. Albro was with the witness at iho time of the arrest. Cross-examined. There were no rther ( foot prints in the road but Frank's ; discovered them about half a mile from Mrs. Heed's ; pot slaht of him ; ho was going at a rapid gait ; didn't look at the prints after witness caught siL'ht of him , but drove right up to him. He-direct : Frank was not armed ; no hnd only two pocket knives. Louis Grebe , deputy sheriff , testified that lie had been present during a conversation be tween Frank and the county attorney in which Frank said that ho had never owned n revolver in his life. Frank Warren , a llttlo boy , twelve years old , s ° 11 of David Warren , near whoso place Frank was arrested , identitlcd the pistol which belonged to Frank as the ono ho hud found under his father's corn crib ; ho was looking for blocks under the crib ; brought the gun to the house and showed it to all his fam ily. [ The weaiKUi is little moro than a toy , being of it ! calibre and was obtained in u trade from Mrs. Heed. ) David Warren , father of the lad , had not been subpojna-d and refused to testify unless guaranteed fees. The county attorney sug gested that the Judge glvo credit to Mr. Warren for the time spent. He said the lad had shown him the revolver on the Tuesday after the snow ; it was after the killing of Chronister. Jonas Fry , constable , identified n pair of boots in court as lielonging to Frank : had had experience in firearms ; the gun had been ex ploded within forty-eight hours ; it smelled of powder ; after a gun has been exploded some time the barrel assumed n slate color ; the powder becomes dry and disintegrated. R Awstcen Hied knew Frank und Chronister ; was present when they had u dispute ; Chronister said fomething Frank hnd said was a lie and Frank Jumped up ; Clironister went for him and Mr. and Mrs. Heed Jumped betwec-n them. Frank after wards asked Heed why ho had got between them and why ho had kept Chronister from him and why he didn't "let him coming , " an expression Frank used when ho was angry. The revolver and the boots were introduced In evidence and the state rested. The defense offered no testimony. Frank was held to'tho district court with out ball. Tno county attorney asked that Awstcen Heed bo put under Ixjiuls of $ T > Oi ) , and that the other witnesses bo put on their own recognizance In the sum of $100 , to upiie.ir at the next term of the dis trict , H. H. Hallenbeck of Mlllard went as surety for Heed. It was then announced to the district attor ney that Mr. Heed had advertised her prop erty for sale with the Intention of removing from the scene of the murder. That olllelal neeordlnglv insUlod uiwn her giving u fA > 0 bond , with t > ho did with J. B. Silvlsus surety. Those Two "Mucksliot. " Frank told County Attorney Mahoney and Deputy Sheriff Grebe that ho had never owned a revolver. Mrs , Heed sworn ho traded a revolver with her for the little weapon introduced in evi- j denco. , The guii lu question was found under War ren's corn crib. While making his escajw Frank passed by Warren's place. It Is held that the gun was concealed thcro by Frank himself. A close cxninlimtlotvof this gun revealed n circumstance which will materially strengthen the evidence for the prosecution. r The testimony of the doctor who had made the iwt-mortem examination showed that the shot which had lodged in ChronUter's brain were not uniform In size , that there were at least two shot of nlxiut the size of BB , or buckshot. These rould have gotten Into the shot bought only through accident , which would be rather unusual. Kxatnlimtton of the revolver showed that the shots were taken from the cartridges In two of its chamber * . The hammer or IKM-- cusslon end of the cartridge hnd been cut off as If with n knife , while the cartridges were in the chambers. The iwvder wns then thrown nway.tho little leaden twllets , no larger than buckshot , preserved and inserted In the gun with which the deed was done. The shells thus cut still remain in the chambers of the revolver. Another Complication. Jfotwlthstandlng that Mrs. Heed said that Frank had staid nt the house two weeks longer than ho had paid for , Frank now claims that she owes him $74.1)5 ) for n horse ho sold her. Ho has given the claim to the sheriff for collection. HKKI ) AVAS CO.NFIDKNCKD. ire Married Ills Wife Under Very Peculiar ClruuniMnnces. Et.Kiioitv , Neb. , April " . [ Special to TUB Jim : . ] It transpires that Mrs. Heed , wife of A wsteen Hecd'iindparaniourof Antonio Frank , both suspects In the Chronister murder mys tery , is an ex-meinber of the Omaha , as well as Council Bluffs half-world , and was at enC time prior to her marriage with Heed the mistress of an Omaha horse trainer and jockey by the name of Sinclair , who had a barn near the fairgrounds. Mr. J. B. Sllvis , a resident of this cityowns a cottage near the Omaha fair grounds , and in lbS.'J rented it to Sinclair , who Installed the present Mrs. Heed therein in the capacity of wife nnd chief of the commissary depart ment. She held her dual position until some time in 18SI , when Sinclair had trouble in Omaha and left under ti cloud. When last heard of he was at Detroit , Mich. After Sinclair left the woman rented an apartment house in the burnt district and went to keening "board ers. " It is the sup | > ositton that it was at the "boarding house'1 that she met Heed and captured his heart , which , by the way , if all reports are time , was done by a little sharp practice on her part. It appears , according to the scandal going the rounds here , that she wanted n man needed one in her business , as it were and Heed being heart-whole and fancy free was made the victim of a well exe cuted bit of strategy and a designing woman's perfidy. As the story goes , Heed was Informed in the mildest manner possible under the circumstances that he was a father in prospective , and as coming events cast their shadows before , it could not be gainsaid. Therefore , to make proper restitution , Heed spent his money for the proper credentials and things and married his family. It hap pened that Mw. Heed was on a visit to "friends" when the heir appeared on the scene and when she returned home Heed , thinking he recognized his ear-marks and brand on the youngster , uccejitcd tlio situa tion and did the papa act like a thorough bred. To make a long story short , every thing was lovely mid the traditional goose was suspended at a dizzy height , until a woman appeared on the scene. She carried a club and wanted her baby. When asked for an explanation by uic head of the Heed family , she informed him that the child ho was fathering was her property , and had been loaned to his wife for the occasion only. The child was surrendered without a mur mur from Mrs. Heed , and the mother and baby returned to Oinalm where the mother was u member of the demi-niomle. ' Jlceil's He.irinfj. Reed's preliminary will not take place until later. He informed THE BEE re porter , however , that ho will bo able to provo an alibi. Ho says that on the night of the murder he remained at home all night. Ho slept with his brother while in the next room reposed his mother. Ho also claims that a lady from an adjoining farm spent the evening with his folks and that she saw him there at 9 : ' . ' 0 und at r > o'clock. The murder it is said was committed atS:30 : or thereabouts. ISolieniiaii Turners. The Bohemian turners of Omaha gave an excellent exhibition nt National hall Sunday night.
