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.

duced : ] the prints weiv of the same size and
going in the same direction ; the step was

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.
