Samuel P. Hrlgham thinks that he has un
earthed a conspiracy by which he was de
prived ot mtlsfacllon for n claim of $4.672
At one lime he held $2,000 worth of property
which secured the claim , bill he alleges thai
it , was at this point that the conspiracy got
.n Us deadly work nnd he came out loser.
In three dlffcrcnl pclltlons which ho has
filed In the district court Hrlghnm sctn out
thai In 1894 he held thrco notes signed by
Gustavo A. nnd Mary A. Ackerman. Ono
wa for $800 , another for $700 , nnd the thin
for $3,000. They were secured by chattc
mortgages on the property of the Ackermans
In n house nt 1921 .Dlnney street. On August
20 he forecloFod these mortgages and cam ?
Into possession of the goads.
Drlgham alleges that at once the Acker-
mans and Constable Walter A. Saussuy en
tered Into n conspiracy to get back the
property. They began replevin proceodlngt
In a Justice court , claiming that the property
belonged to Mrs. Ackcrmnn , and caused n
writ of replevin to be Issuel In accordance
with tlio c-nsplrncy Drlgliam nvera that
Saussay levied on the itaod * * , obtained posses
sion nnd had them npprals d nt $400. He
claims that this was a ridiculously low figure
ns the furniture was new and fine. He
places Its value at $2,000 , It Is charged thai
then the Ackormans removed the goods out
of the state and out of Drlgham's reach.
Drlgham charges Dennlo A. Hurlsy with also
ai'dlstliii ? In the scheme by signing nn un
dertaking , although ho MJS that the man
< lld It ns n favor to Sauiray.
Drlgliam has brought three suits. One Is
ngalnst Enusfay , the Ackennana nnd Hurley
In this he sues for $5,000 , the amount oC his
claim. Another suit is against Saussay foi
JJ.OSO , the valtio of the goods , and agalnsl
Michael Costello , William Allcstnill and Mar
tin Quick on the $1,000 bond , which the )
signed for Saus iy. The third suit Is ngalnsl
Mary Ackerman and Dennis A Hurley , and
Is on the $800 undertaking In the replevin
suit which they signed.

Arguments In the Hoover murder trial were
completed yrsterfiay forenoon and the Jury
retired at noon. It wns the general expecta
tion that Itvuld report eoon , but It has
as yet given no sign of having agreed.
When the county attorney completed
his statement the defense made forma !
objection to amo of hlo remarks ,

The trial was one of the briefest In the
history of the dHrlct court and occurred
sooner after the commission of the crlmo
than nny previous murder trial. The mur
der was committed on December 13. Con
sequently If n verdict Is returned today , this
'being the expectation , the man's fate will
have been decided In two weeks and a day
after the commission of the crime.

Since the announcement In the press re
ports a few weeks ago that Japanese manu
facturers were Invading this country with
manufactured products at puch low prirts
that American manufacturers would bo
ill I yen out ot business , there has been con
siderable stir among a great many people to
learn the true facts In the case.
It w.i * announced that among a largo num
ber of other articles blc > cles ns good as any
American made wheel would bo laid down
en American shores for $12. Thla In Itsjjf ,
If true , would bring about a revolution In the
bcclo ! buslnes.o , nnd the wide publication
Elven the story all over the country created
nu little alarm among the politicians , ninny
predicting that America would bs ruined by
Importation of Japanese made goods. The
silver men at Washington and elsewhere
dUcovered In the slory what they termed
strong arguments for free silver and desired
to apply their remedy at once. Others pre
dicted that higher dulles which would nec
essarily have to bo placed on Japanese goods
would bring about a vvir between ths United
State.i and Japan ,
The llee has made some Investigation In the
matter and finds the story to bs utterly un
it uc ,
A leply to an Inquiry from linker & Ham
ilton , large dealers at Sun Francisco , elicited
the Information that they were shipping bl-
c > clea to Japan from the United States , and
In a letter from S. Koya , the Japanese con
sul at San Francisco , he says : " 1 beg testate
state that to my knowledge there exists no
factory ot bicycles In Japan where they man
ufacture blcvdes for exportation , The news.
liapcr reporto In regard to the bicycle fac
tory In Japan aic entirely without founda
tion. " Communications addressed to the par
lies whose namei were given In the news
paper reports' as the agents of Japanese fac-
tbiles were not answered , which is further
> roof that the whole story Is a fake , It was
mi ml. however , during the investigation that
\mcrican made bicycles are being sold
cheaper In foreign countries than In America.

Death of Her Husband ,
CONJECTURE AS TO THE REASON FOR IT
IU-KiiriK'il nn Ilrlnir n Mntc to Help
the I lir In DrfetiNO on
the Charm1 of
Mnrilcr.
The $5,000 damage suit which wns brought
by Mrs. Chappie against James Ish nml his
wife on account of the death of William
II. Chapplo has been settled for $700. The
settlement was made Friday nt a conference -
once bstwcen Attorney Hradloy , In behalf of
the Ishw , Attorney Shoemaker for Mrs ,
Chapplo , and Mrs. Ish , the mother of the
Imprisoned man.
It Is said that the settlement of the dam
age suit will hive considerable effect upon
the murder cases , In which Ish ami his wlfo
are defendants. "It will bo remembered that
an "Insurmountable" obstacle , an the Jurj-
men named It , prevented them from agreeing
upon a verdict In the recent trial of Ish. and
this obstacle consisted of a doubt regarding
what effect their verdict would have upon
the civil suit brought by Mrs , Chappie.
The opinion was almost equally divided as
to whether this doubt privented the Jury
from returning a verdict of guilty , or one
of acquittal.
This question , viewed In the- light afforded
by the f-cttlemciH of the civil cult , Is said
to bs practically Mlvcd , Inasmuch as It
must b3 presumed that Ish's nttornejs knev\
what they were about when the settle
ment was inn no. u is uioroioro urged mat
the attorneys for the defense hive In sonn
nay discovered that some of the fix men
who held out for conviction did so because
they feared that If Ish was freed Mrs.
Chappie would be unable to obtain a Judg
ment , bccaus their \erdlct would decide
that Ish was Justified In killing Chappie.
The defense holds tint th ro Is still an-
ollitr object to be gained In the settlement
of the suit. They Intimate that It Is not at
all Impossible thnt when Mrs. Cliapple Is no
longer tied to the cltj by n civil suit , which
It was plainly to h r ad\antaRo to prosecute ,
she may depart and when the case conies
up for trial again ihe may bo aa fir avvaj
or so situated thnt she will not ba able to
appear as a witness.
It Is said that there Is no doubt that the
presence of Mrs. Chapplo at th trial and
the testimony which she gave on the stand
carried great weight In the minds of the
jurors , greater weight than that of any other
witness.
In view of these facts the settlement of
the civil suit Is looked upon as a shrewd
piece of business on the part cf the defsnso.
It Mrs. Chapplo leaves the city , attorneys
say , as she has signified her Intention of
doing , the defense can let the trial of the
case rc t until they fltid that Mrs. Chnpple
Is not In a position to be called as a witness.
Then they can demand n trial and have a
considerable chance of obtaining a verdict
of acquittal.

James Anderson was vo-terday sen
tenced to serv ? ninety days in the- county Jail
at hard labor on the charge of an assault to
which he pleaded guilty. Ho vvao first
charged with assault with Intent to commit
greatly boilly Injury , but was allowed to
plead to the lesser offense.
There Is a story of sonu Interest connected
with the trouble. It appears that Anderson
has for the part eleven jears lived with n
woman to whom he was never married. A
child was born to them. Some weeks ago ths
woman went away and tcok the child with
her. Anderson went after the child because
h ? claimed the woman an3 her associates were
Immoral and In a fight the assault was made
upon the woman. It was for this offense
that hs wra arrested.
When the man was about to be sentenced
his attorney pleaded for the mercy of the
court , but the talk had little effect. Judge
Scott severely rebuked the man. He dilated
at length on the spectacle of a man who had
ll\ed In open and Illicit Intimacy with a
woman for years , worrying over the fear
that the child boin of this union might be
contaminated. He said he wlyhed he could
sentence him to the penitentiary , but as he
could not , he gave him as long a Jail sen
tence as he could.
The case against a woman , charged with
Illegal intimacy with n man other than her
husband , was dismissed. The complainant ,
the husband , appeared In court and said that
ho did not care to prosecute , us the woman
had "behaved herself since the action was
begun. " The parties are colored.
Judge Scott announced that he would ar
raign on next Tuesday morning the prisoners
In the county Jail , who had been bound over
from the police court.

Clerk of the District Court Moores did not
entirely get out of the woods when the In
vestigation of his reccrds by the county
commissioners ended In lii.3 . favor. It will
bo remembered that it was charged by ccr-1
tain partleu that Moorcti was guilty of willful
and corrupt malfeasance In ofllce by Illegally
overcharging In the matter of fees and costs.
The commissioners found that there was no
malfeasance , but were not In n position to
find whether the fees and coats had be n
charged In excessof the law ,
The latter point Is now to be decided In tin
courts. Charleo E. Dates of the Dates-Smith
Investment company , has begun an action
In the county court to recover $561 from
Moores , an aggregate amount which It is
alleged Moores overcharged In porno twenty
cases that Dates , or his company have had
In the district court. U IB specifically charged
that Mcores taxd this amount as 'fees and
costj Illegally and in jxccis of law , " Dates
says that ho paid thlo exco's without tin
knowledge that he was being overcharged ,
It having only recently been called to hla
attention.
It Is expected that this i-ult IB but ths
forerunner of many others of similar tenor

The trouble arose over n sewing machine

Officer Richard Marnell , who has been
turnkey at the city Jail for the past three
jears , and an olllcir of the police force since
January IS , 1SSS , has racelvert a letUr from
Melbourne , Australia ; Informing lliu | that he
had fallen heir to. the- estate of the late John
McGarrlgal , valued at nearly $130,000.
Marnell Is an old resident of this city ,
having lived in Omaha for nearly thirty
years.
Twelve years ago , so runs the story , u fel
low countrjman from Ireland arrived In
Dmalia in a penniless condition and applied
to Mnrnll for n little-financial aid. Old as
sociations made a refusal impossible and the
[ rlend was not only given transportation to
Irlends In Australia , whither ho was bound ,
jut money was alto supplied In order to
add to the comfort of the voyager. Mc-
3arrlga ! never forgot this kindness and when
n after years ha prospered In business he
set about locating his old friend. Tluej
years ago Dstectlvc Savage received a letter
through the chief of police , asking him to
ocate the person described , and , through the
name was not given , Marnell's hirsute facial
nppendages berved to unravel the mystery
and a correspondence between the lawyers of
; he late McGarrlgal and Marnell confirmed
the dptectivs't' discovery.
Tli3 officer handed In his resignation to
Chief Slgwart this morning , to taka effect
January 1 , and he and his family will eoon
leave for Aubtralla.

to the Four Hundred.
The City missions gave their annual din
ner yesterday at Masonic hall to over 400 chil
dren of the Tenth Street Mission Sunday
school and to the children of the * other mis
sions In the city. Long tables laden with
good things were arranged in the hall.
There were pies and cakes and popcorn , as
well as food of a more substantial charac
ter , and the manner in which the edibles dis
appeared down the hungry throats of the
llttlo ones , was testimony that the ticat was
approbated. Two teparato meals were
served between the hours of 12 and 2 p. m. ,
the first to the girls and the second to the
boys , who eagerly scrambled to their places
besklo the tables the moment the word was
given that they might begin the devastation
of the plates of delicacies clacked high In
fro-nt of them.
Members of the committee In charge of the
dinner and v ho have been fore
most In the work of collecting
the supplies are- Mrs W. Q. Maul , Mrs
Judge Blair , Mrs. Levl Carter , Miss Jessie
Mlllard , Mra W. J. Hughes , Mrs. Elliott and
Mrs. Jardlno , besides others who have lent
their kind assistance In furthering the good
work. The material for the dinner was fur
nished by the hotels of the city and by mer
chants who have contributed supplies In their
line of business.

Our icprc'seiitntlve In congress Mr Mercer ,

when seen today with reference , to the pub
lication of ono of Uin tupprcteol portions
of Harry Haywnrd's confession , to the effect
that ho had caused the murder of Dr.
Haworth , the husband of Mr. Halt's daughter ,
In Chicago , In April , 1S9 , said : "There Is
ah'olutely no truth In the story , 1 wns
called Into the liny ward case while he was
und rgolng an examination nt the West hotel ,
and 1 wns his counsel until other counsel
came Into the ease. Whllo ho was In Jnll
Information came to mo of a plan to lynch
him , nnd It was thought best to r move him
to St. Paul. Ho wns In great fear of n mob ,
nnd sent ! for me. When 1 came he slat il
thnt ho did not believe ho would live to be
tried , nnd wanted to make a statement to me
so thnt If he was hung his paicnM would
kiow the \act facts. Ho then went on and
tolil the story of the Glng murder , substan
tially as HUM told It on the stand. He did
not then , or at any tlmo , ever state that he
had anthing tc do with Dr. Haworth's death.
Hut I vvlthdron from the case , knowing his
guilt
"I thoroughly Investigated the cause of Dr.

Haworth's death nnd notified my daughter
that he was 111 and needed her , and that ho
took charge of the n "Ccssary " arrangements
nnd dined with her ot ono of the smaller
