8 TIIR OMAHA DAILY UEE : TUESDAY , FEBRUARY- , 1891. BENNETT AS A SHERIFF Some Further Facta Concerning His Con duct iu that Capacity , EVIDENCE IN LIBEL CASE YESTERDAY of I'Hionrrn from .lull Without I. rule Aloilirr in n Jnllor Snyer AVnmuii Hinmliil llpnnrtt at I'rlto s Jrm-flt Ijjnt tun Mel huds. Police Judge Berlin devoted Ills time yes terday afternoon to hearliiR additional testi mony for tlio defense 111 the Ilciinctt-Itoao- wutcr libel case. \V. D. I'erclval , the nrst witness , testified that for the past three years ho had covered Iho court run for The Hoc and that Ills duties were to keep track of proceedings In the court house , county Jail ami district courts. He knew Dennett and his wife and was also acquainted with Moslier. whom he had seen Bitting In the Jail olllco or Jail corridors , as well as keeping books In the olllco. This occurred last KUininer , when the witness fre quently visited tlio Jail , on which occasions ho was often admitted by Moslier , who also unlocked the grated door for him to pass out when his visit was concluded. On these occasions when Moshor admitted him there were no turnkeys In sight. Theodore Den nett was Jailer , but at these times when the Jailer was not present and none of the turn key. s wcro around , Moslier Bccmed to be In charge of the Jail. The witness had also Been the prisoner Henderson In the Jail office , mid said the latter seemed to fill the same position CM did Moslier during such times ns Moshcr was away from the Jail. The rscapo of "Doc" Dlanchard , who quietly slipped out of the sheriff's ofllce unobserved after being arraigned In court for grand larceny , was touched upon. "Is It not true that this man Dlanchard Is now In the penitentiary serving out his term ? " asked the prosecuting attorney. "It Is , " replied the witness , "but ho was not sentenced and taken there until several months after ho escaped from Sheriff Den nett , and ho was captured by outside of ficers In Kansas City. " The state objected to the witness testify ing to what he did not see personally , and would not allow the admissions made to the witness Immediately after the occur rence by the deputies from whom the pris oner escaped to go In. The attorneys for the defense argued that there would bo considerable testimony of this kind , and that It wan certainly ad. mbsiblo as showing good faith and the ab sence of malice. The state strenuously objected on the ground that It was hearsay , and the court decided to reserve decision on tliat point until the law could bo looked up. up.Tho The witness said ho reported the escape at the time , and that the story was printed in The CvcuIng Dee of that date , which was several months before the printing of the letter In controversy. Tlio witness said ho saw largo piles of the paper known as Figaro stacked up In the sheriff's office. There appeared to bo between 500 and COO copies , and they were of each week's issue of that paper for several weeks before the election. lie remembered particularly the Issues containing the story of the alleged Insanity of Mr. Iloaewatcr and the denial ot the Moshcr and Saycr scandal , which charged that the defendant had ruined tlio reputa tion of an Innocent girl. Those papers were circulated out of the sheriff's olllco free ot cost to any one who would take them , and the witness had seen them handed out by both Dennett and his men. _ MOSHBIl HAD TUB KEYS. On cross-oxamlnatlon the witness testified that ho had seen Dennett and Deputy Sheriff Grigg hand out the papers , and that Dennett seemed to think the charges against Hose- water were a pretty good Joke and passed out the papers to his friends. As to being- admitted to the county Jail by Moslier the. witness said that It had occurred probably a dozen times , and detailed the circumstances that led to It on one occasion. The witness' further testified that the key case In the Jail office. In which the keys to the cell room , corridors , cages nud outer doors were kept , was not always kept locked , and that Moshor had access to the keys on such oc casions. At some of these times neither the jailer nor any of the turnkeys were about the jail ofllco or anywhere In sight. The witness said ho was always received nulto cordially at the Jail and was always very friendly with Dennett , but during the latter weeks ot the campaign there was quite a chill whenever ho and the Jailer met. This was not because ho had any thing against the jailer , and the latter bald ho had no ill will against the witness , but did not like the paper ho was working for. I'atrol Conductor Koyaer testified that he had frequently seen Moeher at the county Jail , where ho seemed to bo a clerk , as ho worked on the books and would take the mit timus when a prisoner was sent there. The witness recalled ono day in particular when ho took three or four prisoners from the city to the county Jail , and the door nt the lat ter institution was opened by Moslier , who unlocked the grating and admitted the wit ness and his charges. Masher seemed to bo alone In the olllco part ot the jail , and ap peared to have full charge , ns ho took the commitments and checked up on them the number of days that the prisoners would liavo to servo. No ono eUo appeared , and the prisoners were turned overto Moshcr , who then again unlocked the door and let the witness out of the jail. S. 0. V. Griswold , sporting editor of The Dee , testified tha ho was acquainted with Dennett , and saw him last fall at a prlzo fight at Tlotz'a park , when McKlroy and Mlddloton fought a very lively draw. On cross-examination ho said that Dennett was sheriff at the time and claimed that ho went to the fight In his olllclal capacity , hut ho didn't stop the fight or even say that It had to stop. The fight took place accordIng - Ing to a program and was not Interfered with or broken up. It was a very brisk mill and full of ginger , as prlzo lights go , there being two or thrco knockdowns , and was decided n draw. "Didn't you go out there to referee that fight ? " "No ; I went out there to report It. Den nett said to mo personally that the fight couldn't take place , and then said that It 1 would referee It ho would stand at a place near the ringside and If It got too brutal 1 was to stop It , but I didn't referee It and neither did ho stop It or try to. " SAYEll WOMAN SOANUAU J B. Haynes , managing editor of The Doe , testified that II. N. McGrow came to his room In The Dee editorial department and Bald that ho had something that would knock Dennett It It was Investigated and could bo properly substnntlitod. Ho told the witness .that on the Monday before or nftiT the exhibit ot Ulngllng Bros. ' circus Moshcr and n law otllccr , whoso name the witness had forgotten , had visited an as signation hotiso In the northern part of the city , whcio they had been BCOII by McGrew. McGrew said ho Raw the Saycr woman Bit ting on Masher's lap , nnd the otilccr was taking euro of another woman. It was mated that this wan the first time that Moshcr had met the Bayer woman , but that the Intimacy had been kept up hubBcqucnt to that time , both ut the county jail and out of It. McGrew said that If The Dee wanted the facts he would help to got them , nnd advised that n detective bo employed to watch tie ) county Jail from 9 p. in. to S a. m. to note the visits which the woman Was said to make there. The witness said ho had frequently heard of Jail deliveries for n period dating back toveral months before the election. The Information came from the reporters regu larly employed on .tho start. Ho had also heard of the case of Charles Clifford , who was released from the jail by the jailer without nn order from the police judge or mayor and without the payment of his tine. He had directed ono of the men to look It up , and to see both the police judge and uherlft and get what they had to say about it. The Interview with the police judge was printed In Tto ] Dee , The man sent to Interview the shnrlff on that uiibjoel nald that olllclal had declined to talk about It. The witness testified that he employed a ilciectlve to watch the Sayer woman and the county jail , nnd to report to Mr. Hoso- wutcr. He had ulao Instructed the city rdltor to detail one man to run the Htorles nd had hlm l ! sent one ot the to find two colored men who wcro snld to know something about the abortion case. Those men were Newman and another whose first name was Nate. They bad como to the office twice , Mr. Hose water not being In on the occasion of their first visit. They had nn audience with Mr. Hosownter Iho next day. The witness was present , but did not participate In the talk , nor did ho distinctly hear It. Ho could not Bay what was said , other than that It was con cerning the abortion cane. INVESTIGATION OF UEPOUTS. On cross-examination . the witness said that McGrew had told him that If detectives would run the Moshcr-Sayer matter down they would find the same state of affairs existing that had been going on for some time before that , dating back to about the tlmo of the circus. He had employed Joe Miller ns detective on the case , nnd the lat ter had worked on It for a week or two. The witness said ho had directed that In vestigations bo made by the city editor , by reporters nnd by regular detectives , nnd hail personally bout n reporter to see the shertlt nbout a Jail delivery on the very day after the night on which the escape occurred. M. Shannon , n leporter for The Bee , testi fied that he heard the abortion story from the police matron , nnd told Mr. Hosowater about It. lie subsequently naked Newman nnd City Physician Homers nbout the matter , nnd overheard the city physician state that the girl had been tampered with. On cross- examination ho paid that ho did not In- vestlg/ito the case , because he was at that tlmo doing night police nnd the county Jail was not on his run. That concluded the evidence for the after noon. The attorneys briefly expressed themselves regarding Iho admission of hearsay testi mony nnd Its bearing on the point of malice or good faith. The court took the matter under advisement and the case was con tinued until this afternoon. Tor tin : Clllldrrll. A child ot Mrs. William Kelsey of Waverly , N. Y.had contracted a severe cold.

Smith , AVnltrlrrk unit AVyiunn IHoctcit In- upcctoi-H riimncliil Situation Ilncnssetl. At the meeting of the Doard of Health yesterday afternoon the election of Inspectors was taken up. S. D. Smith was first chosen unanimously. Then J. AV. Wnbrlcck and E. Wyman were elected. The election ot the two other Inspectors was postponed to the next meeting. A report of the secretary showed that the expenses of the board for 1893 were $10,023.03 , causing nn overlap of $383.03. Mayor Demls again called attention to the fact that the levy for the current year would produce only a llttlo over $8,000 , or nn aver age monthly expenditure of nbout $743 , and the present expenses of the board. If carried on throughout the year , would cause a monthly overlap of about $1S8. Mr. Demls stated that he did not see how the board wna going to get through the year If It spent now , when the needs of the city In a sani tary way were less than they would bo later , more than Its Income. The greatest need of the department was In the spring , when the warm weather came on nnd the accumulated filth of the winter was to bo cleaned up. Mr. Druner thought the city council would help the board out , but Mr. Bemls thought It was doubtful If the council would have the funds at Its disposal to assist the board. Duncan and McAndrows thought the board had better go along with its present force as far aa the money nt Its disposal would permit , and then , If there was no more , to shut up shop nnd quit. Duncan said ho was Informed that the board was purposely crip pled for funds by certain members of the council. Commissioner Seville said the board could save $170 a month by suspending inspectors until spring , but thought the bettor plan would be to keep them until after the annual spring"clennup and then" let them go. MoAiitlrews moved that the board go ahead with the work on the present basis ns far as the money at Its command wont nnd then quit unless more was provided. The vote on this resolution was : McAndrews , Seville , Druner mid Duncan , yea ; Demls , nay , the mayor saying that ho thought the board should make un effort to keep 'up Its depart ment on the money nt its disposal. The question of hiring a man at $ GO a month to haul oft the dead animals , which scrvico cost the city about ? 1,500 last year was raised , but the city garbage contract Interferred with this plan. Tlio mayor raised the question as to whether the re moval of dead animals should bo paid for out of the board funds under the wording of the now garbage contract , and'tho secretary was instructed to look the matter up. Mayor Demls called attention to the edi torial In The Dee concerning the report that the meat of diseased hogs wna being sold In the city , nnd spoke of the necessity of stop ping the practice. The board Instructed Dr. Seville to pro cure the necessary vaccine material and vaccinate free of charge any poor that might apply to him. JllMllimblo for Coughs anil Cold * . 0. W. 0. Hardman , sheriff of Tyler county. West Virginia , appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to Bay so. Ho was almost prostrated with a cold when ho secured a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Ilqmcdy. Ho says : "It gave mo prompt relief. I nnd It to be an Invaluable remedy for cougha and colds.

Ellis' ' Opinion of Houston and Its Prospects , NORTHERN CAPITAL AND ENTERPRISE After n Month' * Stay Mr. lilllu 1'orins nn Opinion tluit In All ratnrablo to the J.ocnllty I'ncts tluit Carry C'mulc- tloii-Omnlii : Mm Intvrrntcil , Learning that the well known architect , F. M. Ellis , had just returned from a some what extended trip to Houston , Tex. , n Bco representative called on him at his olllco In the Karbach block to get his opinion ot Houston , where n number of Omaha gentle men have extensive financial Intercuts. Mr. Ellli ) la an elderly man who has passed the buoyant period when the Intensity of llfo and hope paint the future with a roseate hue , and , aside from the analytical tendency ot the professional mind , his maturer ycara make his judgment valuable. Asked lit * opinion of the country In gen eral and Houston Heights In particular Mr. Ellis replied : "I went to Houston for the purpose of sub mitting plans and specifications for n $75- 000 public school building , nnd during the four weeka I spent there 1 became com- iilctrlv enamored with the climate nnd country. "Houston Heights la nbout three and one- half miles from the business center of Hous ton proper , nnd It has advantages RO marked that they are apparent nt wight , but become much moro obvious the moru one Investi gates them. " "Will you enumerate some of those nd- vnntnges briefly , Mr. Ellis , for the benefit of The Boo readers ? " "Certainly. The climate , soil , manufactur ing and transportation facilities are com bined in n way that is not found In any portion of America that I know of. And the very first ndvnntngo that I would mention for Houston Heights Is that Its founders are all capitalists whoso whole aim la to develop and extend the resources nnd Industries of the locality. "An extensive car works , with the finest machinery I ever saw , Is being built at Hous ton Heights. A furniture factory 400 feet long , with a capacity requiring between 400 and GOO hands , a mattress factory , sash and door factory , pressed brick works and several lesser enterprises which I do not now recall are tinder way. The clay produces as fine a "brick as ' St. Louis article , nnd im mense fores. . . of pine , ash and oak arc at hand. All the raw materials arc there In abundance. Tlio manufacture of cotton fab rics must follow , as there are a number of cotton ginning establishments In Houston. "Tho water at Houston Heights la excel lent , nrteslnn wells furnishing pure , clear , cool water In abundance. The drainage la perfect and the projectors of the enterprises have paid particular attention to hygienic conditions. "Hud i secured the contract I had hoped to secure I would have sold out hero and located at Houston Heights , for I consider It the best place I know of to Invest money nnd to live In after you Invest your money. " "How Is the soil about Houston Heights ? " asked The Dec -man. "That is the greatest wealth producer In the section , " said Mr. Ellis. "Cotton , wheat , oats , fruit and vegetables grow to perfection. The market place In Houston Is crowded with vegetable or 'truck' wagons the year around on Mondays , Wednesdays and Satur days , nnd you may Imagine how I enjoyed the treat of fresh vegetables every day dur ing the month of December. The soil is , of course , the fcotirco of nil wealth and what it has done for Houston can bo gathered from the fact that on the principal business street there Is but one building which has a mort gage on it. No wonder that the inhabitants are well satisfied with present conditions. They do not feel the spur of the mortgage- laden resident of the west who cats and burns up the result of the summer's toll dur ing the winter months. "Houston Is on an nrm of the gulf , which gives the advantages of water transporta tion. Fourteen railroads enter there. The large holdings of lands In the vicinity aro' beginning to give way to amall farms , and a rapid growth will soon follow. "Tho climate Is delightful and nftor I had been there three days the neuralgia to which I am subject entirely disappeared until my return to Omaha. "Eastern and Omaha capitalist control Houston Heights and are encouraging In- vcstora and enterprises of nil sorts. Lands are low in price. A fine system ot water works Is completed nnd I believe there will soon be n stir In Houston Heights that will make conservative old Houston get out of bed to watch the proceedings. " Several Omaha people have Invested In Houston Heights and , on looking up their Investments , have removed to that place. q > Tim AcUcrtlMilR Of Hood's Sarsaparllla is always within the bounds of reason because it Is true ; It al ways appeals to the sober , common sense of thinking people because It Is true ; and It la always fully substantiated by endorsements which , in tlio financial world , would be ac cepted without a moment's hesitation.

The local railway mall department has been notified that the task of weighing the mall on the Pacific division will begin April 1C , and continue to nnd Including May 20. This glvea the clerks thirty working days to make their calculations. The ro- welghlng of the mail carried by the various railroads , aa explained In The Dec some weeks ago , la the method by which the gov ernment reckons the rate of compensation to bo paid the roads for carrying the mall. Once every four years the mall which each road carries is weighed for thirty consecutive days , nnd unleas there Is a demand for an extra weighing , the results of the tests aroused used as n basis upon which the payments to the roads are computed. Some of the roads made an effort this year to hnvo the rowolghlng postponed , on the ground that business was so dull that a test at this time would not afford a fair estimate for the four years. This seems to bavn been overruled , however , ns the department has received Instructions to proceed with the weighing nt very nearly the usual time. The work of rowelghlng ncccssltntea the employment of a largo number of extra clerks. Those nro paid nt the rate of $3 a day. for the tlmo actually employed , nnd something over thirty extra clerks will be required to do the weighing in the depart- mcnt which has Its headquarters In Omaha The head of each department notifies the government how many clerks will bo re quired In his department , and they are ap pointed from names recommended by tlio congressmen of the district.

The records of the district court have be come burdened with the papers which recite the domestic troubles which have existed Armln Wllgockl and his wife , Nancy , while they have been Journeying along In double harness since the date of their marriage , which wna moro than twenty-four years ago. The husband has asked for the decree of divorce , alleging that the wife was true enough until nbout the year 1883 nnd until ho took n trip to Europe. Since that date he avers that she has forgotten the mar riage vows , and at times has loved well , b&t not wisely ono Oscar O. Fisher , a farmer of Pierce county , this state. Not only this , but he alleges that she haa deserted her homo nnd hna not lived at the family domi cile for fully four years. Going Into tlio details , Armln states that long years ago he resided In Pierce county , nnd In the natural way of trade , became possessed of a large tract of land , besides town lots In several of the growing cities of the state. When he started for Europe , so ho avers , fearing that some nccldent might befall him during the Journey , or that he might die on shipboard , ahd hla body bo consigned to the deep , there to become food for the fishes , he deeded all of the property to Nancy , that there would not be the ex pense of probating the estate In the event that he did not return. The Journey over the ocean , however , was made In safety , and In duo tlmo ho returned homo to enjoy him self In the bosom of his family. It was not long nftcr his return , says the deponent , that he made the discovery that Nancy's love of other days had cooled , and that ho was not wanted about the premises. When he learned how the matters stood he asked that the wife deed back the property which ho convoyed to lier when ho stnrted across the ocean , but this she refused to do , nnd then the separation followed , hence the suit now In the district court of this county. After alleging all of those tilings , the hus band in the case makes the plea of poverty , and asks the court to give him n slice of ali mony In order that he may bo able to con duct hia end'of the fight to a finish , nnd at the same tlmo liaVo something with which to buy the necessr.rles of life until such tlmo ns the final order Is entered. To this petition the wife makes answer , admitting the trip to Europe , but denying all of the damaging charges made against her reputation. She says that there Is noth ing in tlio allegations that she has whipsawed - sawed Mr. Wllgockl out of his property , and that she has nothing In her possession aside from that which she haa honestly earned. In her answer she alleges that she Is the ono who Is In straightened circum stances and In need of money. To prove to the court that this is true , she asks that Armln be compelled to glvo her some nll- inony , that she can hire a lawyer to defend and also live until the determination of the Issues. After Criminal Canes. Another lot of men accused of being burglnra were arraigned In criminal court yesterday , nnd , with ono exception , they nil dented the soft Impeachment nnd alleged that the arrest was another case ot mistaken Identity. Nels O'Brien , Frank Sawhlll , James Gregory , Frank Holly , James Foley and F. S. English were charged with having with force nnd arms , and with malicious Intent , upon January 24 , entered the dwelling houss of Samuel Jacobs In the night time , stealing therefrom goods , Jewelry , clothing and bedding - ding of the value of $415 , which they hauled away and pawned. Sawhlll , the smallest and youngest of the lot. ncknowlcdged the corn nnd said that lie waa there , but was induced to burgle upon the advice of hia associates. Sawhlll was Bent back to Jail to await sentence , while the other men were sent back to nwalt trial. G. W. Clark nnd Charles II. Button were accused of having been caught with burglars' tools In their possession and the charge was that they were nbout to use them In forcing nn entrance Into the residence of Joseph Shannon. George O'Malley was accused with having forcibly taken the mini of $3.75 from the person of n man unknown to the police and the county authorities. DiuimxrH Tor r r in it Injuries. Jabex It. Hunter has sued the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad company In nn faction to recover the sum of $1,000 , damages on account of a personal Injury sustained.
