v.Prisoner's ' Excuse for Using an Iron Bar on a
Man's ' Head.
ALBERT ALTENDORF BOOKED FOR LINCOLN
Attorney for tlio Defense railed to Get Much
SatUriictloii from th Court The Pris
oner Witntcd to Toll of III
Secret Society Troubles.
Tlio case of the stnto against Albert Alten-
< 1orf was disposed of In criminal court yes
terday , where the presiding judge sen * , the
defendant over the road for a two-year term ,
ho having been convicted of the crime of
assault with Intent to do great bodily harm
upon the person of one Cullcn , who was u
fellow laborer nt the Union Pacific shops.
Last July both of the men were working
nt ono of the furnaces and a dispute arose
over the question of how an Iron bar should
lie handled. Eventually blows were struck ,
nftcr which the light subsided , but not
being satlslled with the result , Altcndorf
( slipped up behind Cullcn and struck him
over the hcnd with an Iron bar , Inflicting
Bomo.vcry painful and dangerous wounds.
During the present term of court tlio case
was"pvtt on trial and the defendant con
victed. Yesterday ho was brought be
fore the Criminal judge for sentence , where
lie was compelled to take his medicine.
From the tlnio when the convicted ninn en
tered tlio court room until ho was returned
to his cell In the county jail thcro was a
ecrlcs of mild sensations.
To start the ball the attorney for Altcndort
tiled u motion tor a now trial , alleging that
niter ( ho trial tlio jurors were taken to a
room In the basement of the court Mouse ,
where ; they remained until late In the even
ing , after which the men wore tukon to
court room No. 1 , where they were allowed
to spend the night. In support of this tlio
uttornoy had an aflldavlt from Juror Fisher ,
who swcro that during the night the jurors
road tlia statutes and commented upon the
- law relating to the case which they wore
considering.
The judge of the criminal court stated
that ho did not think that there was a
statute In the room at the time , nnd what
was more , he did not think that the Juror ,
Fisher , hail read the law.
At this point the bailiff hold a long , whis
pered conversation with the court , after
which lie publicly announced that ho had
been careful to lock up all the books and
papers before taking the Jurors Into the
room. For fear that lib word might bo
doubted this bailiff at once tiled an utlldavlt
nettltijforth all of the facts which ho had
formerly .statcil.
MADE TUB COURT ANCWY.
In a modest way the attorney for the defendant -
fondant stated that ho asked a new trial
on the additional ground that at the time
when tlto attorneys were making their ur-
Kumcnts to the Jury the Judge wus out of
the room. Shortly after this the attorney
was sorry , for he had Incurred Iho din-
pleasure of the court. The court Informed
the attorney In a moat emphatic manner
that before leaving the room ho had gained
the consent of all the attorney * , and that
the 'notion was nothing but a trap.
The attorney asked for tlmo to produce
nuthorltles which would sustain his position.
l ut was informed that ho was not entitled
to lime fqr that purpose , an an attorney who
would make such a statement was not In a
position to ask for a delay.
Tlila aroused the Ire of tbe attorney and
lie wanted to talk , but be shut up like a
clam when the Judge told him that he need
not talk.
The attorney having subsided In a most
graceful manner and all of the motions hav
ing been overruled , the "defendant was called
forward to bo cu..jnced and , with all the
grace of a dancing muster , he walked to a
position In front of the Judge , where ho was
asked If ho had anything to say why sen
tence should not be pronounced. Altendorf
said that he had a few remarks to make ,
and what he said laid the foundation for a
sensation , which for a time promised some
startling results , but It was promp.ly nipped
In the hud by the court.
Standing as straight as an arrow and
looking the judge squarely In the face the
prisoner said that when he struck Cullen
lie did so to protect his own life. The trou
ble , ho Raid , would never have taken place
If ho had kept out of the A. P. A. organi
zation. He was an A. P. A. and the Cath
olics were down on him.
Before he could proceed further ho was In
terrupted by the court Informing him that It
an A. P. A. or any other A violated the
law ho would have to bo punished. Even
If ho was an A. P. A. ho did not have any
right to knock out the brains of a Catholic.
This settled the discussion , and silently the
man listened to the words of the sentence ,
which provided for an Incarceration of two
years In the penitentiary.
Frank Splnncl , tlio man who was charged
with having assaulted Ah nen and robbed ,
him of a watch and a small quantity of coin
of the realm , was arraigned and pleaded
not guilty.
CAM. TO Tim A. P. A ,
W. .I , II. Trnynnr'B Manifesto' Exhorting the
Members of Thut Order.
DETROIT , Mich. , March 23. W. J. II.
Traynor , supreme president of the A. P. A.
and publisher of the Patriotic American , has
Issued an olflclal address to the order. He
states that his travels In the west have con
vinced him "that the A. P. A. Is n mighty
force which no power on earth Is potent
enough to restrain , although monopoly , the
press , n largo proportion of tlio Protestant
clergy to their shame or Ignorance , be it
said corrupt politicians and the priesthood
hove Joined Issue to suppress It. "
He reminds members that despite local
victories the alleged "center of corruption
and national danger , viz. , the national
legislature and government , remains ap
parently as powerful as over. " Ho exhorts
every member to attend caucus , and , In
dependently of party , elect trustworthy mem
bers of the order , or "equally good and re
sponsible citltens" as delegates to conven
tions , He refers to the other so-called
patriotic organisations recently formed as
"another Ingenious weapon formed by the
enemy , " and advises that they be quietly
let alone. The address exhorts persistent
opposition to Immigration , as n primary
source of financial panics and "the main
avenue of priestly supremacy , " and ad
vocates the taxation of all property ,
"ecclesiastic palaces" Included , public In
spection of convents and vigilant guarding
of the electoral franchise and public schools
against "the Inroads of forelgnlsm and
absolutism. "
In conclusion the president suggests as a
watchword Wendell Phillips' utterance , "The
uneducated ballot Is the winding sheet of
liberty. "

A. P. A. Juror * Not Aeeopted | iy uu Attorney
In u Denver Court.
DENVER , March 23. For the first time
In the history of the courts of Colorado the
question of religious differences has been
raised. In tlio case of Tim Drew nnd James
Uurnes , charged with robbery , Attorney Tom
Ward for the defense challenged a juror be
cause ho was a member of the American
Protective association. The .challenge was
overruled. He then challenged the whole
jury and found that eleven of the twelve
were members of this organization. The
attorney at once asked for a new venire and
the coroner's office has charge of the jury ,
on the ground that Sheriff Burchlnell was
prejudiced against the defendants because
they are Catholics. Ono of the Jurors
when leaving the court room , shouted :
"Hurrah for the American Protective asso
ciation ! "
Attorney Ward finally decided to file no
affidavits In the case , but to proceed with the
work of securing a Jury. The question of
religious' beliefs , however , enters into the
examination of every Juryman and If It Is
ascertained he is a member of the A. P. A.
ho Is promptly challenged.

IRON WORK ON THE POSTOFFICE.
An Oinulm Firm IleeclvcB Notice thut Its
Illd Is Aeeepted.
Omaha will bo Interested In the following
telegram which was received In this .city
yesterday morning :
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Mnrch 23. Pnx-
ton & Vlcrllng Iron works : After a long
struggle your bid for Iron work for Omaha
postofllce lias been accceptcd. Congratula
tions. D. II , MEUCHH.
Mr. A. .J. Vlerllng In speaking' the
matter said that he was not advised of what
part of the bid was accepted , but supposed
that It was for the entire structure. "Our
bid , " said he , "was $1.000 below that of the
Milwaukee pcoplo on the work up to thereof
roof , but on the total bid for everything
complete they were about $1,200 below us.
I have been satisfied all along that they
were not anxious to have the contract at
those figures , as they would be compelled
to pay a premium for the privilege of doing
the work at that price. Our bid was figured
as closely us possible , and at our figures
there will bo no money In It. Wo'could
not have met their figures even lf'\vo had
known In advance Just what they wcro going
to do.
"Whether the government has decided to
give us the whole work , or merely the part
up to the roof and rcadvcrtlse for the bal
ance Is something that I will not know until
I am further advised from Washington.
This contract will give employment to
about forty new men until the work Is com
pleted. We agreed to complete our work
In sixty days after the masons were through ,
while the Milwaukee people fixed their time
at four months. That was one thing on
which we based a claim for the entire work ,
although our figures for all complete were
not as low as the Milwaukee firm.
"U will take about two weeks to com
plete the preliminary arrangements , and we
will bo ready to begin work as soon as the
contract Is signed. Our figures for the
work wera $28G59 , and that would mean
an expenditure of about $18,000 for labor.
Our regular force will be kept busy with
the other work that Is corning , so that It
will require putting on about forty new
hands. Our bid for the work to the roof
was $11,891 , and the Milwaukee bid for
that was $12,951. Their bid for all com
plete was $27,449.
"A lot of hard work was done to secure
us the award , an It was jseen that It meant
a great deal for Omaha. The Manufac
turers and Consumers association took a
hand In the light , nnd sent telegrams to
Secretary Carlisle , as did also the Commer
cial club , and many prominent citizens
actively Interested themselves In the mat
ter. "

MURDERERCARLETONCAUGHT
He Was Well Armed , but ! Not Inclined to
Do More Killing.
NIPPED BY OFFICERS IN 'SARPY ' COUNTY
Found Hiding Under , a licit In a Fiirm
House with UeHlmnc , y\notlier or the
Prisoners Who F.scupcd .from
the Fremont .lull.
PAPILLION , Neb. , Majrch 23. ( Special
Telegram to The Bee. ) Murderer Carleton's
lease of liberty was not of ] very long dura
tion , for he and George Deshane , who es
caped with him , were captured this morning
at the house of Wlls Garrett , twenty miles
southeast of Papllllon. The capture was
effected by Sheriff Mllllkcn'of Dodge county ,
Sheriff Startzer of Sarpy county and Con
stable Ilolbrook of Papllllon. When found
by the officers Carleton and Dcshano were
snugly ensconced under n bed in company
with a big double-barreleil shotgun loaded
with geese shot. At first they declined to
como out from their hiding place , but Sher
iff Mllllken poked a big six shooter under
the bed ns a persuader , and they , came forth.
The arrest was made about 2:30 : o'clock.
Sheriff Mllllken had learned that Carleton
had relatives in Sarpy county , and decided
to Investigate. Accordingly , with two
deputies , ho proceeded to the house of Wil
liam Frank , whoso wife Is. n relative of
Carluton , and searched the premises. They
next went to Garrctt's , where they found
Carleton's team and buggy standing In the
barn.
Deshane was awakened by the nolso
outside and called Carleton and they hid
under the bed.
Garrett , whose wife la a cousin of Carleton -
ton , wus In town yesterday and procured
copies of The Uce containing the accounts
of the escape from the Fremont jail.
COULD HAVE SHOT THE OFFICERS.
Carleton stated that If ho had been so
disposed ho could have killed the entire
pursuing parly- before they came up to the
house , as he uaw them coming" und had hU
shotgun nnd fifty loads of ammunition handy
with which to keep up the contest. Ho
seemed to take his capture very coolly and
said they couldn't kqop him In any jail , as
ho could easily gut Jout again , his previous
success having ovldQiitTy inspired him with
considerable confidence In his-ability In that
line , He talked freely with the officers
who captured him , and Old not glvo any
evidence that he dreaded .what the future
might have In store for him , having no fear
that the end of his career would bo a rope ,
though further than''the Information that lie
was confident of fjla ability to get out of
jail again ho did not state on what ho based
Jits hopes. '
The story ho Tells of tn way ho and his
companions got from Fremont does not tally
with the ocepted belief of. the matter and
shows that the taking of Uie horses from a
neighboring barn was dli : a. mistake , or else
the other partlen who escaped at the same
tme | tpok them. . Carl ton says that on
getting out of the jail 1 a ( and George Do-
shane went directly to Carleton's place and
took one of his own teonw , with which the
twain pulled out of tbe cquntry at a rapid
rate. Carleton Mated thatthey ! drove thirty
miles In the first two bojirslafUr getting pos
session of the team , which { to played out the
horses that they were. uju > bl * to proceed
further at that time.
The country In which tliey- were captured
Is rough and broken and admirably adapted
for hiding , and had the men kept away
from the houses they might have given the
officers considerable troubl * In finding them.
They were brought at once to Papllllon and
then taken back to Fremont .
Carleton was originally sentenced to be
hanged today for the murder of August
Gothman of Omaha , but the supreme court
had granted a stay of execution until Sep
tember.
The capture of Carleton and Deshane
leaves only one of the prisoners who broke
Jail at Fremont last Monday still at liberty ,
a burglar named Blake. Wlchelow , the
fourth man , was captured at Lincoln and
returned to Jail at Fremont yesterday.
TAKICX HACK TO JAU
Officers ivlth Their Prisoners Arrive at Fre
mont Without Trouble.
FREMONT , March 23. ( Special Telegram
to The lice. ) Sheriffs Mllllken and Startzer
of Sarpy arrived hero on the 11:30 : Union
Pacific train with Murderer Carleton and
Duslmno , two of the prisoners who escaped
from the Dodge county jail Sunday night ,
having taken them at the farm house of
Jeff Garrett , twenty miles southwest of
Papllllon , last night. The trace was made
through the team that they had with them
belonging to Carleton , which they drove off
from his father's place on the night of the
escape. When taken Dushane was In bed
and Caileton under the bed , and they sub
mitted to the cuffs without a protest.
The murderer of Gotlunnn marched up to
his old quarters In the county jail with as
firm a step as over and as ho recognized old
acquaintances he bowed right and left , as If
ho had simply been absent on a visit. But
his best friends are very despondent. His
father expresses great regret that ho should
have attempted to escape , saying that they
had recently put up $800 to carry the matter
to the supreme bench , nnd ho now feared
that the sympathy of the courts would be
against him. Ills father says that in case
the supreme court should retime a new trial
the escape might operate against a petition
for a commutation of sentence to Ufa Im
prisonment.
Frank Dolezal , one of his attorneys , ex
pressed great regret ut Carloton's escape ,
claiming that the chances wcro good to get
favorable nct'lon by the supreme court.
People hero nro very much surprised that
Carleton did not exercise greater sagacity
whllo at liberty. On Wednesday evening lie
was playing a game of billiards at Gretnu
and on Thursday he was taking the ladles
nut riding with his own team. Ho was per
fectly familiar about the locality , having
lived In the neighborhood of Springfield
about twenty years ago , and ho had many
acquaintances there.
The crlinu of the man Deshane , retaken
with him , would not have brought him back
from Iowa , 1iut ho did not seem to have
known It. Ills crime , which ho will now
have to answer for , Is the paternity of an II *
legitimate child by one woman and tlio mar
riage of her minor ulster without the moth
er's consent , having swQn thut she wus of
age ,
Court
Fred MoKlnney has asked the courts to
sever the tl 8 that for some ten years have

In criminal court the case of the state

of and the judge IN of the opinion thut It
will take him at least two weeks to hear
the cases which are noticed for trial.
Thomas Dennett was before tlio criminal
court last evening , where lie pleaded guilty
to ttie charge of grand larceny , after which
he was remanded to jail to await sentence.
JJennett is ono of the men accused of having
burglarized some of the Elkhorn cars , steal
ing therefrom a large quantity of dry goods
and groceries. To he charge of burglary he
pleaded not guilty , but admitted that he was
guilty of the crime of grand larceny.
READY TO LYNCH THEM.
Two Ollleors Mistaken ! > y n Crowd for Des
perate IIur-lnM. (
The report that two burglars had broken
Into the grocery store of Peter Back , 92 !
Bancroft street , and that they had been
surrounded and were being held captive
called the patrol wagon there on the double
quick about midnight Thursday night.
A telephone message was received at
the station requesting that an officer bo
sent there at once or as many as could
be spared , as the burglars had the door
locked and the citizens did not dare to ap
proach.
The patrol wagon was sent thllher flying
and was soon at the scene.
Upon Us arrival the report was , to all
appearances , true. An angry mob of citi
zens was surrounding the little store , and
by the dim light within could bo seen the
forms of two men , otio skulking along be
hind one counter and the other behind the
other. Every now and again they would
appear at the window as If In quest of some
avenue of escupe. Things looked desperate
for them. Outside stood the enraged citi
zens murmuring low muttcrlngs , and as
the burglars would approach the door us
If to open It they would bo met with n
forcible resistance which none dared op
pose. There they were like mice In a
trap , and things looked critical for thorn
In the extreme ; no arm was raised In their
defense and no one would glvo them the
benefit of n single doubt.
They were again about to make a trip
out the rear door when the arrival of the
patrol wagon caused a change of scenery.
As It approached the men .looked out niul
prepared for resistance.
"Open this door , " was the first demand.
Just as It was about to bo broken open the
burglars again came to the window and ,
looking out , saw the bright silver buttons
of an officer , and at onca compiled.
"Why , hello Al , " one of them said , "what
are you doing hero ? " Al did not at first
recognize them , uiul wus about to hustle
both men to the wagon. It wan then that
the real condition of things became known
to the poor burglars.
They endeavored to explain why they were
there at that unholy hour of the night and
they really put mich an excellent reason to
tlio officer thut ho was quite Inclined to lot
them go and an they went on to tell him
further ho finally dccjded not to arrest them
this time , but to give them another chance.
The two burglars were Constable Soiled
of Juilgo Cockrell's court and Dennis Kane.
The entire Block had been taken possession of
by mortgagees , and these men were In
charge and this was the cause of the dis
turbance. When told how nearly they came
to their deaths they smiled anil said they
saw tlio people gathering there but did not
know for what purpose.
The reason that they wrre put down ns
burglars was that Souccl left the store u
moment to go to a nearby saloon for "some
thing" In a bottle , and as he did so he
threw his white lined overcoat over his
shoulder. A passerby naw him leave the'
store and as ho wus going at a lively gait
and hud that white thing on his shoulder thu
stranger concluded It must be a sack of
Hour and he was confirmed In hU suspicions
wh n he taw him return again and make
another trip later on.
U was thin that caused the mob to assem
ble and the report that burglars were carry
ing off the stock by wholrnule ,
The mob was somewhat disappointed when
no arrests were nude and that the real live
burglars turned out to bo just ordinary olll >
cera of tbo law.
