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

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.
