The principal theme of conversation about
town yesterday was Sunday's tragedy , flay-
den and Cromwell , the wounded representa-
tves of the bond company , were seen at
their rooms In the Oran'd hotel , alt found
to be resting as easily as could be expecteel
10th were willing to admit thaI they had
hall as close I view ot the pearly gates
l they wanted al this stage ot the game ,
and congratulated themselves on the fact
that they were still alve , Cromwel tael
'proppe4 up In' beel nursing his three bulell
wounds , anti talked freely tf the affair , and '
hayden talked as freely as lie could through
an immovable neck. They both Insisted thaI
they had never accused lunllngton , ' and
did not now , of anything cro kel. I they
had not found the discrepancies In the account -
count lie gave ot his transaction Saturday
night thl meeting Sunday morning would
not have been held , and the tragedy would
have been avoided. The $500 check had been
entered upon huntington's book , but II was
mantft3t thaI something had been scratched
out. Whcn asked about this , huntington
said he found a blot on his book anti erased
I. writing In the amount again lie did
nol think the Iem was originally In his
handwriting . but admitted that all ot the
entries on both shies of It were Doth the
t
wounded men say the luestons they asked
huntington were no 10re searching than
tho3e ( propounded to al the other employes
of the bank. They oho say thaI Iresllent
Edmunllson look huntington's part from the
first.
frst.10W TIlE BODY WAS FOUND.
Drs. II. D. Jennings I I. Janncy and C.
II. Bower made a post mortem examination
ot luntngton tInting the forenoon , and at
the inquest , which was hell 01 Estep's un-
lertaklng rooms In the afternoon , the results
ot their investigation were given In a some-
what startling manner The jury was composed : -
posed ofV. . II. Robinson , I' . C. DeVol , and
E. II. OUch. E. C. Brown was the first
witness examined. lie said he was one of
the frst ellen to enter the room after the
fatal shot was hired. lIe found huntington
lying on the floor , with his feet toward the
eloor , apparently 1 eli , thl revolver lying by
his tee anel about two feet from the docr.
10er.
lie saw no powder marks on his face or
head I
head.Mr. ! . Edmunlson said : "When the Inspectors
and huntington mel they asked him how
much money he toole with him on his trip to
New York , and he said about $35 cr $10.
This attention was called to the fact that the
check which he said he hind drawn on the
bank In favor ot his brother In New York
had never been presented for paymenl. Thc
inspectors did not accuse him , and everything
seemed 10 be passing oft smoolhly. He was
asked where he got the $70 thaI he deposited
after he returned from New York , and he
replied thaI he borrowed It. They asked him
at whol lIe borrowed It , and he saId he had
forgotten. They led up to the same question
In dIfferent ways time and again , with the (
same result. When they asked him where he
got the money to pay back lho loan , he N-
pled thal II was none ot their business.
Cromwell flared up somewhat at this , and
said that these questions were proper ones ,
whereupon Huntington replied 'warmly that
he dldn'l propose to be bluffed. Sharp tale
was made on both sides . hut II was all over
In a row seconls , and John and the Inspector
both became quiet again. "
Ills story of the shooting has already ben
published. Finley Burke appeared as a representative - .
resenlalle : , or the , Huntington family , and
drew from Mr. Edmundson the statement
that John's habits had always been good.
He never drank . smoked or gambled , and
he never lost anything entrusted to him.
I I possible that the loss In this Instance
might have been due to the misplacement
ot the check , but he did not think It could
have come about through I mistake or book-
kceplng. I the check had ben taken by
HuntIngton II was no gain to him , and
only caused the bank some trouble
WHAT TIE DOCTORS FOUND.
Dr. Jan ey told thaI on making the post
mortem Il was found that the bullet had
entered his head just above the rIght ear .
folowed the curve of the forehead on the
Inside of the skull , dropped down , and lodged
In front or the let er , cracking the bone
clear around. Only a very few powder
marks were noticed , just at the edge In
front ot and above thD ( wound. Mr. Burke
preceded throughout his questIoning on the
theory thaI huntington had met his death
by a pIstol shot fired by some one else
han himself. In reply to his question ot
whether a 4 caliber gun would leave pow-
ler marks when fired at a distance of five
feet , ho said he did nol know.
Dr. lacrae descrIbed the location ot Crom-
well's and hiayden'a wounds and called attention -
tenton to the strange fact that although all
the bullets were supposed tD have been
fred from the same gun , the one taken
from hiuntington's head was notcably
smaller than those round In the other two
men All , however , were considerably bat-
lere up , and he thought this might result
from a chippIng oft when the bullet struck
the. skuli. I the revolver had been held
close to his head when fred , there would
have been a ring or powder abut the wound.
But If Hunlngton held the revolver Il would
have struck the ground allDl before he
began tD fall . and might be thrown sOle
distance by the force ot his arm unbending
T. O. Dawson , who was , 'In the barber
shop beneath lie bank said that he heard
several shets fired . and then , after a lapse
of about ten seconds heard one more J. , J.
Shea's story was about lie same
Cashier C n Hannan testfed that II was
customary for his gun , which was usually
carried by the messengers when they carried
large amounts of cash , to carry one empty
shell for the hammer to rest upon but the
one belonging to Spooner , whIch was usually
left In the bank , was kept loaded with full
shells all around lie bore testimony to the
dead man's good character
Dr. Bower , one of the physicians who as-
slated the coroner In holding the autopsy , was
called to testify as to the nature of the ( wound.
caled testy wounl.
The examination showed thai the ( bal had
entered the head al the suture In the right
temple and had followed the frontal bone ,
fracturIng II all the way to the left temple
where II lodged beneath the eye. The trac.
ture was complete enough to permit the skull
being lifted ' off. The bullet hall made a
furrow nearly an Inch deep through the brain ,
and had driven a splnter of bone down to the I
base ot the brain Questioned as to powder I .
marks around the wound , he said there were
but six or eight grains vhlble , and none were
found In the ( issues of the brain matter .
They might , however have been carrIed away
by lhe 10w of blood and brain matter. An-
swering a hypothetical questIon , he tld that a
reVO"er : fred foul or five feet away could have
deposited ( powder graIns In the flesh around
the wound .
ABOUT TIE WEAPON USED
Mr. Edinunilson was recalled and asked concerning -
cerning his statement to The Dee yesterday ,
that according to a time honored custom In
the bank the hammers of lie revolver always
rested upon an empty shell. lie said he
hall made the statement and thaI he though
was the practice.
G. F. Spooner , payIng teller , testfed that
he believed the revolver had contained Its
full complement ot six loaded shells . There
were no other shells In the bank , and the
weapon had been sent out to b loaded. lie
had taken It apart , but bad never taken out
the shell , . but felt lure they were all loaded ,
A. O. Graham was called a an exhort
witness to examIne the revolver. The les-
Ilon had been prlnced until It was getting
dark And tie light was furnished by A small
lamp , which was too dim to perIl a careful
oxanilnation. lie felt pretty sure from what
he could see thl . only Bve ot te cartridges
had been recently tired . This was Indicated
by the fact \ ) th'o mukl ot the BrIng
pIn on five of them were bright and fresh ,
while the other seemed dull. l"vI ot the
chambers In the cylinder appeared to be
freshly coated with powder smoke while the
one did not. Ho would not any positively ,
however , until ho hall made another examlnl'
ton In daylight. lIe reused also to express

By this time II nmed that there was
a suggestion In lice testImony that CroniwJi
and hayden might have had something to
do with the shootIng , and they employed Attorney -
torney J , J. Shea to look after their Inter-
ests.

Peking thIs winter or } h t the latest next
spring. Dy thaI time lie says ChIna will
bo completely vanquished. lie ascribes
China's defeat to the corruptness ot the
officials , who have stolen millions of dollars
and to the foci that Japanese young men
educated abroad are gtlen positons ot trust ,

After many trIals and trlb'ulatlons per

In Berlin , Otrlan ) ' . lie was lelmltt1 to
Z,500 bal on Saturday last , and by this
tme has sailed for home , notwithstanding
the tact that the Berlin officers sent to
thIs country to locate the lare , Bethel , reported -
ported that she was nol to be found This
practcaly means the enl of the case for

many to stand trial , with almost certain
convicton staring hint In the face , that Is ,
unless he cnn mug UI' Bethel In thIs coun-
try ali take her across and produce her In
the foreign courts.
At the session of time board of appeals a
week ago last Wednesday at Chicago. there
were lany prominent horsemcn presOmet , and
OrrIn 0 letner , the partner or Incebs In
his now falous ringing tour or the marc
Bethel through Europe , was on lie staml
and subjected to a fire of cross examination
that laid bar many facts In regard to the
unlawful enterprise with which Ineebs was
to defraud I uropeln horsemen out ot luch
mooney ' . Among ( tee man ) ' Interested SIJecta-
tons of thin session were Mesrs.

Herner on the stand testified that for a
number or years he had been engaged In the
Imporlaton oC horses hem Europe and had
also shipped several head of trotters to Ger-
many. I was In making purchases for an-
other shlpmenl abroad lint he met Kneebs
and arranged with him to take a number of
her es In the latter's string to Europe , where
they were to be entered In the races and
afterwards sold , the agreement being that ( all
over I certain sum receIved was to go to
Herner as wel 19 R share ot the money won
al the ( races. The evidence tended to show
that from the first Kneebs failed to act on
the square wIth his partner and broke the
agreement at every opportunity. Hctner con.
tnued to advance mney for expenses until
they arrived In Germany , where another
flagrant violation of contract by Ineebs pro-
yoked Hetner to severing the partnershIp between -
tween them and In revenge for Kneeb dishonesty -
honesty , flefiidr male disclosures which finally
reslled In the arrest ot lneQbs and 'the
confiscation of Dethel. TIl testimisony throughout -
out was anythIng but creditable to either
Hetner or Kneebs , and disclosed a well laid
plan to defraud tIme , various trottIng associa-
tons at whIch their horses were entcred.
Hefner admitted that he had a "ringer"
amollg hits own horses , and was not averse
to winning / mooney In that way. I was fur-
lher , hewn list ( the owner of Lord Byron , a
Mr. Augustus Sharpe or Coulsvle , Iy. . had
a very pleasant arrangement with Kneebs
which enabled them to play thee pools In a
very both. happy manner , greatly to the profit ot
Nat Brown a prominent amid reputable
horseman ot this , city was called to t the
stand to testify that he had visited Kueebs'
farm al , Wakefeld , Neb. , and ball been shown
I mare' ' purported to be Bethel but which
'ne ' was positIve was not her , and therefore
refused . " o'make amdavltaa requested by one

Thomas N. Cohen staled that he visited
Wakefield to Investigate . and had been directed -
rected thence to Elk Point , S. D. , where the
mare Belel ) was said to be lie had been
shown I mare which they called Bethel , but
which he was posItive was not her. Au
'amdavit was read frolic Charles Minion citing .
the same facts. From thIs and other Informa-
ton now In possession of SecreJary Steiner
It would seem that there Is evidence sufficient
to secure the conviction ot Kneebs. A con-
census of the ( testimony heard shows a deep
laid plan to defrlud , and one which , but for
lie tailing out or.th princIpals , would have
succeeded. Hetner was undoubtedly the chIef
conspIrator , but Jneebs was thee man they
trapped.
