There wero uumcious cases of petty

PETER SITZMAN AND
ARRESTED CHARGED II MURDER
Alex. Martin Identifes Them as
Wounded Mike Geno
From Saturday's Pally.
Thursday evening about 7 o'clock
after the men at the quarry had had
their supper, George Sanders, Alex
Martin and Mike Geno, went to the
village. Sanders broke a ten dollar
bill in the saloon, the men had a few
beers and started for the camp short
ly before dusk. The three men walk
ed down the railway track and when
they were within a half mile of the
camp or thereabouts, two men passed
them hurrldly. Sanders remarked
that this looked suspicious and that
the three had best be cautious
Geno said ho knew one of the fel
lows; that It was the son of the wo
man who ran the boarding house in
Cedar Creek and that everything was
all right. The two got out of sight
soon and before the three had pro
ceeded far Marten who was about
twenty feet in advance of the other
two was accosted from the weeds by
the two men, one of whom struck
him 011 the arm but not felling h!:n
he escaped and ran to camp. The
other two men were assaulted with
the club and knocked down and rob
ber, both were unroncloits for the In
stant, Panders rallying soon, but
Geno never regained conciousness.
Sanders lost, what cash lie had, and
time checks wero taken from belli
men, which have not yet ueen recover
ed. J no Gauer who resides near where
the robbery and murder was comnilt
teed, heard the cries of tho men for
help, and ran to their assistance and
saw two men fleeing toward Cedar
Creek, but did not get close enough
to recognize the men. Tho uiicon
clous man was carried to camp and a
doctor 8Uiiinioncd from Louisville,
but in spite of medical aid, Geno died
yesterday about noon.
Sheriff Qulnton went to the scene
of the murdere at once and early Fri
day morning rounded up fifteen or
twenty men hanging about the vil
lage, and asked Martin to point out
the men who struck him. He walked
up to Pete Sltzman and Louis Keezer,
both known well in this end of the
county. Sltzman being the son of
George Sltzman dereased and Keez
er is a brother-in-law of Sltzman, and
both have been around Cedar Creek
and both were seen together the ev
ening the murder occurred.
The two men were at once placed
under arrest, and last night Deputy
Sheriff Manspeaker brought them
to Plattsmouth and lodged them in
the county Jail.
A coroner's Jury was summoned
and a verdict brought in that Geno
came to his death by being murdered
by Isadore Sltzman and Louis Kee.er.
The evidence against the two par
ties was convincing. There was the
track of the heal of a boot which
was worn by one of the robbers near
the spot where the murder was com
mltted, one of the hen arrested had

of the rooms of the two and found In
one a bloody shirt.
This morning the county attorney
and the sheriff placed Sltzman in
the sweat box and he confessed that
he was one of the two who assaulted
the murdered man. Sitztnan made a
full and voluntary confession and
placed the confession in writing, to
the effect that he and his brother-in-law
planned the assault Thursday ut
temoon. That they talked the mat
ter over together and concluded that
they sould get Geno and San
ders. Put had given the matter up
for the reason that the men did not
come down town when they expected
and the two had started to the post
ure to get the cows, when the three
men came down tho track toward
tho camp. Sltzman and Keezer then
started after them, and overtook
them about a half mile out of Cedar
Creek and passed them hurriedly, nud
some little distance on the two stop
ped and allowed the three men to pass
them.
The two men took a elrrutous path
and got In advance of tho Marten,
Sanders and Geno, and hid In the
weeds. As the men filed down the
track, as stated with Martin In tho
advance Sltzman and Keezer mndo
the murderous assault, with pieces
of boards about four feet In length
by four Inches wide and two inches
thick. Sltzman says tho time
checks they took were burned by
them In tho stove at his mother's
place after they returned to tho vil
lage. They got six dollars In nioney.a
check for $2 from Sanders. Tho
check Sltzman hid between the mut
ress and spring in his room at his
mother's boarding house. Keezer
has not confessed In writing hut has
admitted that he is one of the guilty
men.
The sheriff empanelled a Jury of
six men as follows: J. F. Wolf, C.
E. Metzger, Henry lnhehler, Dick
Frey, Mr. Shryder and Mr. llnch, who
heard the evidence and brought in
a verdict that the deceased, Mike
Geno, came to his death by wounds
in the head with a club in tho hands
of Isadore Sltzman and Louis Keezer.
After signing the confession as
stated above, the sheriff took the
self-confessed murdered, Isadore
Sltzman, to Omaha for safe keeping
to await the convening of the dis
trict court which meets in October.
The murdered man was an Industri
ous Polish workman, and Miss Mario
Kaufman who was in the city today,
stated that he had worked at tho
quarry for more than two years and
that he had boarded with her moth
