American renders mnv , perhaps , bavo for-
KOttoti thn principal Inrldents In the series of
rcnmrliublo crimes of which Thoimis Nolll is
nccusod. A rcsuiuo of tbo events that led to
his unrest and trillion tbo clinrgo of wilful
murder Is , therefore , Rlvnn ,
On the i.ljht | of Anrllll , last.-two cirls
named Alloo Marsh and Emma Shrivctl ,
npod , respectively , ! ! 1 nnd Ib yours , received
a man in their apartments nt ! 1S St. Hanford
street , Lambeth. This man rotnalnod with
tno | 'lrls until 2 o'clock next mornini ; .
Shortly nftor ho loft the house the two girls
were found In nnony on the Moor Dy tbo
landlady of the premises , Mrs. Voftit. Tuu
glrlR belonged to" the unfortunate class , und
an ofllcor was notillcd and tuny wore re
moved to St. Thomas' hospital. The Marsh
Klrl died on the way to the hospital and tno
Shrlvell girl died throe hours after she was
admitted.
It was thought at first that the cirls had
boon poisocrd by canned salmon , of which
they bad p.irtalcon , but it was subsequently
learned that , they had been polsonod with
strychnine. On examining the rooms occu-
picd by the tilrls a letter was found , dated
April 1 ! ) , accepting nn Invitut'.oa to tikn tea
Ivan thorn next iiliiht. This letter was
signed Ucorgo Clifton , but it afterwards
transpired thut the writer xvas Known to
| the girls as Prod. No trace of the author of
I the letter could bo found , and for a time the
case wus > rofuricd to as the "Lambeth mvs-
t tery. "
When the matter of the dontn of the two
tlrlb cnmo before tno coroner for Investiga
tion thalonlclal received n letter , which was
proved to bavo been in the Handwriting of a
woman named Sabbatum , whom Neill was nt
ono tlmo 'encaged to marry. In this letter
the writer said she was in u position to glvo
Valuable Information , which would show
that the two girls had been poisoned by a
young man named Hnrpor.
Trlrit Ills 11 tin ( I at Itlnrkiniill.
Tno letter was placed In the hands of the
police , und from irqulrles that wcro Insti
tuted , tboy discovered that abouu the snmo
tlmo the coroner had received the letter. Dr.
Harpur of Harnstaplo had also received n
letter , admitted to bavo been sent bv Neil ! ,
In which tie demanded the sum of Jlr > ( X ) , nnd
Intimating that unions the sum xvns paid the
writer would give Information showing that
Dr. Harper's son had poisoned thn girls.
Young Harper was nt tbnt tiino a student nt
bt. Thomas' hospital nnd lodged in tbosamo
house in Lamboth with Nolll.
On Iho churgo of nltcmplcti blaccmail ! , prc-
ferrud neulnst , him bv Dr. Harper , Neill was
arrested. Consluorablo Interest , IVHB mani
fested in the case and it was Increased when
R newspaper published n story to tno effect
that n I'lrl named Matilda Clover had died In
October , IS'JI. under almost tnu snmocircum-
tnncos as attended the deaths of the March
nnd Shrivel ! girls. It was supposed nt the
tlmo of the Clover girl's dojth that she had
committed suicido. The body was exhumed
and an analysis of the vlscorn revealed tuo
ptosoiico of Hti'.vchnlno.
' 1 ho peculiar maunor of the death of those
girls called attention to tbo fact that
another girl , nair.nd Kllon Denworth , had
alcd under suspicious circumstances , nnd
further Investigation by the police ravealcd
that , Dr. Hnrpur was not tbo only person
Nolll had tried to blackmail. It was lournod
that tie had written lotleis to Dr. liroadbent ,
a well linoun London practitioner , to lion
W. F. D. Smith , son of Iho l.ilo lit. Hon. W.
H. Smith , and la Countess Uussnll ,
who , durltiK the trial of Uar
iiuit for n judicial Reparation
from nor husband , Karl Kusnoll , In
Ueocmbor , 18'Jl , hud roooivcd a letter , alleged
to bavo been written by Neill , nccusinir the
curl of having noUoned the Clever girl. In
tbo letter to Dr. Hrnadbont the puvsinlnn
was also accused of poUonliig her , \vlnlo Mr.
Smith , In the letter tin received , was accused
of administering strychnine to the Denworth
girl. It should bo nnrno in mind that ut thu
tlmo these letter. * were sent no ouosuspccted
that clihor the Clever or Don worth slrls hud
been poisoned nnd that tuts fact , nnd the fact
that bo nml attempted tn bhii-kmaU others ,
were only learned subsequent to the arrest
of Nclll for uttemuting to blackmail Dr.

Ill * I.lfiniml Antecedent H ,
The police , bnforo lhl § , had awakened fo
tbo fuel Hint Neill was a most Important
prisoner , and u close InvesllL-ittion was mudo
of his prior llfo and untocoilcnts. They >
found thut Nolll uns an American , and ho
appears to have been ut ouo time , n student

When taKcn into custody Noill had on his

In Canada > Nolll , or , ns no was known I
there , Dr. Thomas Cream , had tin unonvla-
bio reputation. Ho studied raedlolno at Mo-
( HU collcgo , Montreal , and was graduated In
1870 , Ho tonk up practice at Kingston , OnU ,
nnu had been there only n thort time before
ho WAS suspected of Illceal practices. The
body of n young woman was found in a shed
back of Nolll' * ofllce , nnd a post mortem ex
amination showed that she had died from
thu effects of u criminal operation , Thoueh
the people were mortally certain that Neill
had performed the operation , there was not
legal ovluonco enough to wnrrnr.t his nrrost.
Public opinion , however , forced htm to loava
Kingston , and ho went to Hamilton , Out.
Ho was shortly afterwards arrested on n
chnrgo of killing n woman by performing nn
abortion , but the charge could not bo provrd
against him.
Again ho changed his rosldonco , this time
going to Chlcjco. This was about liT3. Ho
had only boon In that city u short tlmo when
ho was arrested on the charge of causing n
woman's death by malpractice , This crime
was proved ntrnlnst him nnd ho was sen
tenced to Imprisonment for llfo. Ho sorvoa
thirteen yearn of this sentence nod was then
released on account of III health. Meantime
his father died , leaviac him ? 10,000 , nnd ho

cuacd.
The court room was crowded during tbo
live days of the trial. Evidence was sub- .
milled proving all the charges mudo against
him. The case aeuln&t Nclll , though wbollv
circumstantial , was perfect. Thodofenso did
not call n Kinglu witness , which , In a capital
case , was regarded us peculiar. Neill's coun
cil relied upon assailing the testimony
of the witnesses lor the prosecution ,
who hail sworn to Noill's belne

adulterated paints would
have no sale did they not
afford dealers a larger
profit than
Strictly
Pure White Lead
The man who best guards
his own interests is never per
suaded to buy paint that is
said to be "just as good , " or
"better , " than Strictly Pure
White Lead. The following
brands are standard , manufac
tured by the "Old Dutch"
process , and always strictly
pure :
"SOUTHERN"
"RED "
SEAL"
"COLLIER"
Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors.
The National Lead Co. man
ufacture a line of colors to
color strictly pure White Lead
any shade wanted. They are
put up in small packages ; one
. pound being sufficient to tint
twenty-five pounds of Lead. By
using these colors and strictly
pure White Lead you know
that you have pure paint , which
you can not know when buying
' 'mixed" " "
or "prepared" paints-
For sate by the best dealers In taints.
If you are colng to paint , It will pay you to
send to us far a book containing Information
that may have you many a dollar ; it will
only cost you a postal card to do so ,

4 Kinds of Suits
Ten of each kind and each kind different , are shown in our
largest show window today , liach of these suits bears a card
which tells you in good plain figures , the price which is either
six dollars and fifty cents or ten dollars and fifty cents. These
suits were placed in the window to attract your attention to
notify you , that today "The Nebraska" begins another of the
great special sales which have made her famous throughout the
west. Two styles of these suits those in the two front rows
arc marked
The ones in the very front row are "beauts. ' They're made of
good solid all wool cassimerc in a handsome clarlc brown
with just enough color in the broken plaid to make the pattern
attractive. The lining is of double warp Italian. These suits
are in round corner sacks only. The "square cut"sacks in tlm
second row arc mighty tony , They arc made of substantial
fancy black cheviot in an invisible plaid. The coats arc cut
doub 1 c - b re a s t c cl with square corners and in the proper length
for this season. The lining is of soft serge and the price is
six dollars and fifty cents. The third and fourth rows arc
marked
The third row arc sacks round corner sacks and such
sacks ! made of elegant dark gray all wool cassimerc lined
right up to. the queen's taste with very fine Farmer satin , triple
stitched finely tailored. The frocks in the back row arc of
that "never wear out" sort of goods good old honesty cassi-
mere made up honestly every stitch such suits as fifteen
dollars and sixteen dollars usually buys. Usually you get
better goods than you expect at our spccials---it's so this time.
FUR OVERCOATS have never been sold by us. The
urgent calls from our customers for them have prompted
us to add a complete assortment open today at such
prices as only the Nebraska gives.
