BARROTOTTSTli EemarkaWe Criminal Case That L Still an Unsolved Mystery. FEATURES OF THE AFFAIR. Early Event That Led Up to The Lynch lag of the Ex -Treasurer Mullihan, PXliott and Harris Declared Inno cent and They Are Free Men, Butte, Neb., Jane 23. The alleged murderers of Barrett Scott have been acquitted and the final chapter iu one of the most remarkable criminal cases of the age concluded. For more than two years the state of Nebraska has been disturbed by some features of the sensa tional affair, and for the past nine months the northwestern section of the state has been on the verge of civil war as a result of the developments in tho case. The court's instructions were very lengthy. In the matter of venue he in structed the jury that it would be nec essary to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Barrett Scott was hanged or came to his death in Boyd county in order to couvict. lie also instructed the jury that political parlies and factions and sympathy for the friends or relatives of defendants or Scott should not be considered in ar riving at the verdict. When the jury was asked if they had reached a verdict, each man answered yes, and as the foreman handed up the verdict a stillness per vaded the room. No indication could be found in the faces of the jury what their verdict was, but the defendants and their attorneys did not seem to be at all worried. When the court read the verdict of not guilty Mrs. Mullihan and Mrs. Elliott broke down and gave vent to their overwrought feelings in a burst of tears. The defendants were visibly affected, and received the congratula tions of their friends, counsel, court and jury, all evidently being thankful that the long trial was over. History of the Case. Two years ago Treasurer Barrett Scott of Holt County became a defaulter to the extent of f 100,000, and fld to Mexico. After a series of peculiar inci dents he was captured and returned to Nebraska. A trial resulted in his con viction. By the exertion of great political influence he secured a stay of sentence anu continued to enjoy his liberty. Feeling had reached fever heat between his friends and enemies in this part of the state by this time, and the situation was known to be critical. While enjoying a ride in his family carriage with his wife and child in a thickly settled neighborhood, Scott was surprised by a body of masked men. lie was armed and resisted. The carriage waa riddled with bullets, several of the occupants wounded and the convicted defaulter dragged from his screaming wife and child. He was never seen alive again. A month later his muti lated body was found under the ice in the Niobrara river miles from the scene of the capture. Dozens of men were arrested, the most sensational charges indulged in by both friends and ene mies, and after the employment of de tectives galore, the private fortunes of many and all the legal machinery of the state, the authors of the crime have not yet been brought within the pale of the law. The interesting phases of the Scott case continue to be a fruitful theme of speculation throughout the west. Among tnose familiar with the per plexing affair there exists no doubt that the details of the murder are known to many people, and that at least a dozen people participated in the bloody work. The information upon which these opinions are based also satisfy the same persons that, though the ordinary mur der case "will out," those responsible for the killing of Barrett Scott will never be brought to justice. Family and Neighborhood Feud. The affair Irom start to finish involves family and neighborhood feud so fierce as to startle every individual who has spent years on the border, where human life is looked upon with some degree of indifference, a vigilantes organization which, for a quarter of a century, has been a law unto itself, two strong political factions and a multitude of in dividuals whose love or hatred for Bar rett Scott led them into the horrible affair on one side or the other. And though the one man who has directly or otherwise been the cause of the re markable situation lies in a dishonored grave, the developments incident to his murder will probably form the issues in business and social affairs in Northwest ern Nebraska for several decades. With the rise of the Populist party and the decline of the old parties several years ago in Nebraska came rumors in many sections of looted public treasuries. In' many cases these reports were urged with much effect. Some counties had been in the hands of one set of poli ticians since their formation. During this time one set of men frequently had the administration of financial affairs. This condition naturally provoked very loose business methods. Holt county was no exception to the general rule. In 1895 Barrett Scott was closing his second term as treasurer of Holt county. Prior to that it had been in the hands of Scott's friends. He was a Republican and a good fellow, in the common ac ceptation of the phrase. Scott would do anything for a friend. He had hosts of them; in fact it was commonly said he could have any office in the gift of the people who knew him. He was being prominently mentioned as a candidate for stats treasures. First Suspicion of Trouble. The first suspicion of trouble de veloped in the shape .of ugly rumors about the county funds. It was said Scott had loaned it promiscuously to his friends. At first these reports were at trXbutdd to political enemies. But the cloud grew rapidly. Bcott wanted a third term. Being a "good fellow" covers a multitude of sins in the west, but the average voter draws the line on three consecutive terms in office, be the position ever so small. Scott's friends remonstrated. He could not be re elected acrain. they said. Scott was de - ' btrminnH TTa Tv1f.tdpd He pleaded with his friends to stand by him. He appeared too ' anxious. Many began to credit the rumois of crooked work in the Holt j county treasurer's office. The Populists J saw Scott's situation and, to make j political capital, forced the issue by de manding that he permit a committee to see his cash. Scott did not dare refnse. If he did the people would be satisfied the money was gone. If he permitted the investigation the result was equally fatal, for in truth the money was gone. In desperation he visited an Omaha bank and, on the payment of f 1,000, completed an agreement by which, on a certain day, the bank would send a trusted agent to Holt county with $."0, 000 in gold. Scott might count it as Holt county funds for one day, but always in tiro presence of the Omaha bank's agent, who was armed and ready for fighting in the event the money was unsafe. Then Scott began to defy the Populists, and boasted that on a certain day he would exhibit a pile of gold in his own private vault, which belonged to the county, and that every penny was there. It was a desperate game but for the time it looked like a winner. At the time announced the Omaha man arrived, and so did the gold. Scott proudly pointed to the great stacks of yellow metal and de manded that the Populist committee exonerate him of any wrong doing. The committee counted the gold. Every dollar was there. Scott's friends were jubilant and the opposition correspond ingly depressed. Barrett Scott was never stronger politically in Holt county than on the eve of his fall. A third term was in sight All was smooth sailing. Money Was Not There. It will never be known just how the secret leaked out. Perhaps the presence of the strange man from Omaha con stantly at the vault door provoked sus picion. However, the next day, before signing the statement exonerating Scott of all charges of dishonesty, the Pop committee asked for a last peep at the county money. One more look and they would sign the statement that would have elected him to a third term and at least postponed the humiliating confession for two years, and perhaps forever. But the money was not there. The bank agent had started that very morning for Omaha. Scott had to re fuse. Yet there was no excuse for the refusal, as far as the committee knew. But the more Scott protested that the press of other business demanded his immediate attention, the more persist ent the committee became. The mem bers saw a chance to avoid helping a political enemy. Finally they boldly demanded to see the money. The de faulter saw that he had reached the end of his string. He had played a desper ate game and, when in the very sight of success, had lost. He very pleasantly told the committee that he would open the vault again the next day and show them the money. They consented. Scott at once fled. He was not to be found the next day. The vault was locked and, though it appeared a trifle suspicious, the truth did not dawn on the Populist committee until Scott was safe in Mexico. Then it was discovered that the lock of the vault had been de liberately broken. The door could not be opened for several days. WThen it was not a cent of county funds could be found. Captured In Mexico. All Holt county was wild. The farm ers were poor, and with no prospects of a crop they .-.ad to face an impoverished county treasury. Months later Scott was captured in Mexico. He made a desper ate fight against extradition. He de clared that if he was taken back to Holt county the people he had betrayed would lynch him. The fugitive was finally taken back to the scene of his crime. At once a number of influential friends gathered around Scott and an abundance of money was contributed for bis defense. It was said openly that these men came to Scott's assistance be cause they had participated in the loot ing of the county treasury and feared the consequences of Scott being deserted and forced to a confession. Their in fluence was powerful. They could not prevent a Holt county jury speedily finding him guilty, but after he had been sentenced to the penitentiary for five years some mysterious influence gave him his liberty and the convicted defaulter walked the streets as free as if he had never stolen $100,000. Months passed and it looked as if Barrett Scott i would never be sent to the penitentiary. Perhaps it was nothing more potent than ordinary technicalities with which he surrounded himself, but be that as it may, the situation began to look dangerous for the peace of the com munity. Farmers were daily taunted by Scott's overzealous friends with their defeat. Finally thef armers got the im pression that Barrett Scott still had the county funds concealed somewhere, and when the prosecution had been worn out he would secure the money and live in luxury at the expense of Holt county. Vigilantes Again Active. When Northwestern Nebraska was the extreme border of western civiliza tion the tillers of the soil had been forced to organize a vigilantes com mittee for protection against the roving bands and individual horse thieves. In that day, when might was right, the vigilantes of Northwestern Nebraska were a power for good. Criminals were not given the benefit of legal technicali ties. The vigilantes watched a suspect long enough to feel that he . was a men ace to the community, then they quietly selected a committee, who took the doomed man to the nearest tree and hanged him. Sometimes, to avoid answering troublesome questions, the body of their victim was cast into one of the numerous prairie streams, to be buried instantly in a sea of quicksand that never gives up its dead. If it was in winter and ice covered the river, so much the better, for a hole was cut at a convenient spot, the vigilantes victim pushed in and all trace of their bloody 1 W(k was hld from inquiring eyes. rucu &kute auu municipal organiza tions came into existence in Nebraska the terrible vigilantes order became less prominent. There was little demand for the pioneer law guardians. Still they never wholly disbanded their or ganization. Old Methods Employed. It is no secret that about the time it appeared that Defaulter Barrett Scott would escape the arm of the law the old vigilantes order began to be talked of again in Holt county. The rugged old men who had fought the early battles with outlaws and Indians began to talk aggressively of the manner in which they handled common rogues. They began to look over the relics ot the vigilantes organization and found many members on all sides. Several meetings were held. If the fate of Barrett Scott was discussed the fact will never be known. No man has ever lived to boast of having betrayed the secrets of the vigilantes of the great northwest. Scott's friends assert that at these meet ings Scott's murder was arranged. On the contrary, the old members of the law and order league declare that the rumors were circulated by the real murderers; that they were planning the murder of their dupe for fear he would betray them and explain who helped him spend the Holt county money. Per haps the vigilantes were wrongly ac cused; perhaps Scott was murdered by his friends, but the truth is that the men who killed the defaulting treasurer employed the ancient methods of the Nebraska vigilantes to an alarmingly accurate degree. Scott started with his wife, baby and Miss McWhorter for a hunt a few miles from home. Their hired man drove the family carriage. There are many here who think Scott went on that expedi tion to recover Holt county funds which he had buried out on the prairie. This rumor gained currency. It is on record that the Farmers' Protective associa tion, an organization said to have been iormea a snort time berore ior the pro tection of small cattle men, which, by the way, contained all the Holt county ex-vigilantes, which is commonly said to be the old vigilantes under a new name, believed Scott had the money buried and went after it on this oc casion. He was returning from his alleged hunt, having been gone three days. He was passing Parker's mill in Holt county, Dec SI, 1894. Just before the new year dawned the Scott carriage was surrounded by a dozen masked men. Not a word was spoken. Scott real ized his danger and instinctively lashed his horses into a run. The avengers were taken by surprise. Their victim was about to escape, when they opened a terrible fire. on the carriage. The two horses sank in their tracks. Scott was wounded in two places. Miss Mc Whorter received a Winchester ball in the back and the hired man and Mrs. Scott narrowly escaped. Scott was dragged bleeding from his wife's side and gagged. The others were placed hurriedly in another wagon brought from a ravine and driven within sight of their home by two masked men. Not a word was spoken. The family were tumbled out, and before the alarm was raised the masked men and the team had dis appeared in the wilds of the Niobrara breaks. Scott's fate remained a mys tery for a month. Then the body was accidentally found by the small army of searchers. The ice of the Niobrara had been cut and the body cast into the water. It had struck a firm resting place and was easily recovered. A rope still around the murdered man's neck told the story of his death. It is frequently asserted that the murderers of Barrett Scott got posses sion of the stolen funds of Holt county. Many believe this to be the truth, while others are satisfied the vigilantes tried the defaulter and found him guilty, ac cording to their primitive methods, and proceeded to remove him without pity. The other side is equally confident that the men who profited by Scott's steal ings killed him to close his mouth forever. Hunt For the Murderers. Some effort was made to hunt down the murderers. The county officials were paralyzed. The old vigilantes organization permeated all branches of the county government and the legisla ture ordered the attorney general to Droceed in the case. ' A dozen men were arrested, all con- nected with the protective association or ex-vigilantes. The proseoution was pushed on the theory that the murder was committed by that order. But the strength of the order was underesti mated. Men made no secret of their connection with either organization after the fight started. It was not such a terrible tiling in the estimation of these stern pioneers to have assisted in removing a felon who could not be reached by the law which punishes tha poor man. The representative in the legislature from the county boasted on the floor of the capitol that he was a member. When the trial approached George D. Mullihan, Alf. R. Harris and Moses T. Elliott were the only ones the state thought it could convict. To avoid the influence of the vigilantes the case was taken to Boyd county. The defendants admitted they were vigilantes, and there is little doubt that many of the jury were members of the same order. The defense of all was an alibi. They proved by dozens of old settlers that while they were not at home the night Barrett Scott was mur dered, they were out on the plains looking for stock. It was a little singu lar that they were hunting stock at this time of the year, but the word of so Tnanv ninnpisro rwnl1 tint: Vw imTi-hil I and the prisoners were acquitted. A NEW STKrOGLE FOK FREEDOM. The present struggle for bimetallism is as certain and pronounced in char acter a struggle for the independence of the masses as was the war for inde pendence from the tyranny of George III. The masses of Americans are today threatened with the permanent domination of as remorseless, tyrani cal and ruthless a power as ever threat ened the liberty of men. Concentrated wealth is and ever was the enemy of liberty and the equality of man. The banking, money loaning fraternity is bourid by the closest tie that affects men's action the hope of further gain into a combination which can only be overcome by the awakened con science and aroused patriotism of an earnest, enlightened and determined citizenship. Already there are cravens who despair of waging a successfu light against the corrupting power o the multi-millions that are arrayed on the side of Mammon. "What is the use of continuing the tight," says one "they have the vast power of concen trated avarice on their side; they have already so impoverished the masses as to compel the adherence of a large number to their ranks on pain of ruin and probable starvation, and add to these the pawer of cupidity and avar ice of the speculating gamblers and the so-called 'business interests' those men in business who are always in debted to the banks against these the masses who labor, the farmers and the mechanics are powerless." It is true that the influences spoken of are powerful, but does not become men who stand upright, bearing the image of their Maker, and with the heritage of Hunker Hill and Valley Forge, to lose heart and hope before a battle royal is fought. Sixty years ago Andrew Jackson, almost alone, over came the Pharaoh of his time the United States bank an institution al most as invincible in its day as is the Octopus of Wall street which confronts the people today and if men do their duty now, and awaken to a full realiz ation of their power, it is possible that a leader may be found with a heart as courageous and a patriotism as lofty as that which inspired the action of Old Hickory, aud nerved the arm that penned the order for removed the de posits from that rotten concern a man who can lead a determined, patriotic aud liberty-deserving people to victory as complete as that won over the Brit ish at New Orleans. There is no mistaking the purpose of the foes of bimetallism. They are act ing iu harmony with the Money Power of Europe, which already has shown its ability to corner the gold coin of the world, and it intends, first, to perma nently fasten the single feold staudard on this country, making all obligations public and private payable in gold; 2d, they would next destroy the green backs and all other government paper money, taking from the silver dollars their legal tender quality, supplant the paper money with bank nbtes, issued under such laws as would makn tliern much moie profitable to the bank ing fraternity than by the present system and thus completely con trol the money system of this country as well as Europe. The money thus to be furnished would be bank notes, which in a panic might be worthless as any of the old-time wildcat currency, instead of the green backs which are backed up by the faith and property of all the people. The adoption of the bimetallic stand ard by the American people will block this game, result in like movements in Europe and free the world, for h time, at least, from the iron rule of the most desperate aud couscienceless system of oppression the world ever saw. On the eve of the nations celebration of the birth of liberty in America, with the chimes of the old liberty bell ring ing in your ears, and with the inspira tion of the immortal words of Jeffer son, that "all men are created equal" giving hope and heart to mankind, The Journal adjures every one of its readers to take on new resolves to fight the battle of f reodom for bimetallism.
