SCtDNER , Neb" , Sept 18.-SplcI31 ( Tel-
egram.-Scrlbncr ) Is still In an excited state
over the tragic death of two of her towns-
people , Mr . and trs. rred Hartm3n. The
entire story Is a long one , antI to those
acquainted with the people It Is an object
leson of what a little gossIp may do anti
will bo long remembered , though I wilt
perhaps bo seldom put to use.
On February 11 , 181 ! , Mr. Hartman's wife ,
with whom he had lived for thirty-five years ,
and with whom ho had raired four cliii-
dren , was fatally burned by an o\ertured
bmp. The trs. Hartman concerned In the I
tragedy was the wife at Chris I.lestltow tot I
the pat twenty-seven years , until about '
one year ago when he became divorced '
and soon afterward married the widower ,
Mr. Hartman. Their family affairs were far
tram pleasant. Their money maters were
In an unsatisfactory stat . Mr. Lestkol !
was sore over the affair and oren threatened -
ened Mr. and Mrs. Hartman with violence ,
but thc leading up to the tragedy was tram
a far different cause and was given In
thes words by a prominent witness at the
Inquest :
'ho Intemperate talk of a few people
In the communiy to Mr. Hartman about the
intimacy of lila wife with several men In
town , " These statements had bela working
with terrible effect on Mr. Hartman and
were tIme real cause or the muder and sui-
chic. Something like a 11onth ago Mrs .
Hartman left her home and took up her
abode with W. n. Meyer of this place ,
where she remained until last Sunday , at
which time Mr. Meyer gave a party and !
Mr. and trs. Hartman met and enjoyed the
el'enlng with dancing and social conversation
unti near midnight , wholl they left tot
their old homne. This was the last seen of
trs. Hartman alive. Mr. Hartman was seen
the last time Monday morning
DISCOVERY OF TIlE TRAGEDY ,
On Tuesday evening , atracted by the unpleasant -
pleasant odor , the city marshal went to
the Hartman residence and was convInced
without entering that decomposing bodies
lay wit4iin , whIch was soon Proved to he
the tact. Coroner Martin of Fremont was
telegraphed , anti this morning held an inquest .
quest , with the following findings :
"That lrs. Hartman came to her death
by strangulation , and that said strangling
was done by her 1lsb3nd , by taking her
by the throat anti choking her until she
was dead , after which ho tool his own life
by hanging himself with a rope In the at-
tic. "
Mrs Iartl3n lay In an cal position on
a neat ) . spread bed , and with nearly all
her clothing removed and carefully haiti
951(10. Everything In the house was In perfect -
feet order The general belief Is
that on arriving home early Monday -
day morning some difference ares
between them. anti lie seIzed her by tha
throat f.nl deliberately held her until life
wa' gone. Several short letters were wrUten
by Mr. Hartman and left on a stand near by.
They contained nothing more than a mention
of the Intemperate language before mentono : ,
and said he could imo longer bear the condi-
tons.
tons.any think that his Monday morIng stroH
up town was In search of soma man whom
ho considered concerned In his domestic dif-
fculy , but not finding him , he returell home
and took his own life , probably several hours
after his wife was dead.
lartman laves three sons now
grown to manhood. who were no
tilled thIs moring of the deaths and
who took possession of the bodls and had
them buried this noon In Pebble cemetery
. without cercmouy. The whole affair Is a very
sad one. Mr . Hartman was born In Germany
October 13. 1832. and moved to this country
during time summer of lSB I. lie has lived
In thIs vicinity the past ten years and has
many friends and neighbors who regret te
tragic end. Mrs. Hartman was a lady
highly respected but one who has labored
wllh many unfortunate conditions for the
last hal of her lifo.

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 18.-The prose-
cuton In the Durrant case will complete Its
direct case early next weele. The openIng
statement of the defense Is awaited with
much Interest. I 11 be the first intimation
of what It expects to prove. I has been
said that an alibi for Durrant would bo
shown , and , further that another man than
Durrant went into the church when the pris-
oner Is said to hayo entered It.
Today Miss Edna Lucille Turner was the
first witness. She Is a member of the Emanuel -
uel church and knows Durrant. She testi-
' test-
nell that on April 3 she was not with defendant -
tendant In Emanuel church Mrs. Leak yas-
tcrday testified that the girl she saw walking
Into Emanuel church with Durrant was either
Uancho I.amont or Lucille Turner.
Organist George King was then put upon
the stand to prove that he saw the prisoner
In the church al [ p. m. April 3 , about an
hour after Durrant was said by Mrs. Leak
to have entered the church. King prey ! an
unwilling witness , apparently shielding Dur-
rant whenever pos lble. He admitted that
the defendant anti his attorneys probably ad-
vied him to give such testimony as given
at the preliminary examination. ThIs created
a tremendous sensation , but on cross-ex-
Imlnaton he said ho had not been asked to
change his eYldence. lie told how ho had
come into Emanuel church to play a new
piece on the organ and when he had been

hat or coat. Durrnt had : said that while
repairing some gas pipes he had been overcome .
come , and at Durrant's request the witness .
ness went to a drug store and purchaed
annie brome seltzer , which Durrant drank .
Then at his request the defendant helped
him carry a small organ from one part of
tho" church to another. The prisoner appeared -
peared exhausted and was frequently obliged
to stop and rest. The witness stated hQ

Ing the efforts of the Chinese and Japanese
officials to suppress the' news In regard to
the cholera , the truti has at last como to
light concerning the plaguo. Japan and
north China are fairly alive with cholera
germs. Siberian omelals , nave declared Jap-
aneJO open ports infected , and from official
sources It Is learned that Over 17.000 people
have died In Japan from the plague since Its
stat In the PeseadQres : In China the , dis-
ease has gained a firm ( oothioId. Advices by
the steamer RIo Janeiro report that In Toklo
the heat Is terrific , and ttie disease germs
have been nursed by the climate Into virulent -
lent life. On the Rio Janeiro little could be
learned for certain concerning Yokohama ,
but nevertheless the plague Is raging there
also. At Ilefow tIme disease Is spreading
ralJldly. '

Th parade was fully two miles In length
