Miss Eva Stewart Tells Her Story in a
Dramatic Manner.
OSCliLATORY EXERCISES DETAILED
Sir. Morey anil Hitt f air Typewriter In
cline-reel, to Say the Least—A Case of
llea<iaclir lured By Hypnotism—New
Door to the Heart Discovered.
HASTINGS, Neb., March 2G.—A cli
max was reached in the Horlocker
Morey poisoning case when Miss Eva
Stewart told the story of Viola’s Hor
locker’s love affairs with Charles F.
More>. She repeated it in a most dra
matic manner and without any hesi
tation whatever, as though she had ev
ery word committed to memory.
Miss Stewart said she was an inti
mate friend of Viola Horloeker and
one evening Viola said: *1 have a se
cret to tell you.”
Miss Horloeker then said she was in
love with one of her employers. She
had never thought of him in any way
other than a friend until one time he
seemed sad and came to her and said
he was lonely and sad, and she seemed
such a strong woman and he wanted
a friend, and asked her if she would b?
his friend and she said that she would.
Then she said that he made some con
fidences to her. but she did not tell
witness what the confidences were. One
evening he went out to their home, the
Hcrlocker home, and she sang to him
and the next evening he told her she
was grand, simply sublime; it had done
him so much good.
After that occurrence Miss Horlock
er said she had suffered before that
from very severe headaches and one
day w hen sne was very sick Mr. Morey
said that he could use hypnotism and
could possibly relieve her headaches
in that way and she permitted him to.
She said that as he looked at her and
exercised an influence over her she
lelt a little door in her heart fly open
that she never knew was there before,
and that after that she felt differently
towards him than she ever had towards
a friend.
>ome time alter mat ms w ue was
out of town and they became very
close friends. They used to take long
rides on their wheels together and he
once invited her to his room and she
went. Their intimacy attracted atten
tion until there was an article in one
of the Hastings papers, not mention
ing names. She said Mr. Tibbets saw
the paper and showed it to Mr. Morey
and told Mr. Morey that it would be
wise to break this affair off. Miss Hor
Iocker said that w hen Mr. Morey’s wife
arae home he seemed almost crazy
and after that he had tried to break
off the affair with her. She did not
tell whether they broke it off entirely
or not. but said at a later time in the
winter they had had another very
stormy scene at the office and he had
attempted to break it off with her.
• She told me.” said Miss Stewart,
"that he had been accustomed to have
her stay until after the rest left the
office so that he might kiss her good
bye. He took her in his arms and
kissed her passionately and she re
turned it. and on this special occasion
he took her out in the hall and when
he went to say good-bye to her she
said to him: ‘Is it a relief to you that
you no longer kiss me as you used to?'
She said that she saw his lips tremble
and she asked him if it was not possi
ble for him to love both her and Mrs.
Morey. He said no. that his duty was
to his wife. She said she kissed his
hand and said: ‘Friends can do that
much.* He said. ’Can't you assert your
womanhood? I have respect for you.
although 1 no longer feel towards you
as 1 did.’ ”

LEXINGTON, Neb., March 23.—From
7:30 to 11 p. m. in the evening, and
tc 10 a. m. in the morning was taken
up by the court in hearing the defense
on its motion for a new trial in the
Dinsmore case.
Several affidavits were read, alleging
that some of the jurors had expressed
opinions relative to the guilt of the
defendant prior to the trial. Affidvaits
were also read alleging that the action
of B. F. Tussig, witness for the state,
who threatened the life of the defend
ant, prejudiced the minds of the jurors.
1 was also figured that the instruc
tions of the court were too strong and
suggested to the jury what the verdict
should be.

the motion and sentenced Dinsmore to
be hanged here July 20.

say why the sentence of death should
rot be passed upon him the prisoner

The Horlocker Case.
HASTINGS. Neb., March 23— By its
opening statement in the trial of Viola
Horlocker. charged with poisoning j
with attempt to kill Mrs. Charles F. i
Morey, the defense outlined its inten
tion to prove that Miss Horlocker was
mentally irresponsible by heredity, her
condition being aggravated by a man
whom she loved, not wisely, but too !
well. The court room was jammed |
with spectators, attracted by a curi- j
osity to learn what the defense would j
be and a desire to see the prisoner |
and the witnesses, among whom are
seme of the most prominent society
people in Hastings.
Viola Horlocker and her sister, Mrs. \
Cheever, were in court all day long, j
Miss Horlocker seemed to take the I
matter well until in the afternoon, j
when she covered her face with her j
hands for some time, but when she j
looked up again her face showed no :
signs of excitement or suffering.
Charles F. Morey and his wife were j
in the room the entire afternoon, oc- j
cupying seats close to the county attor
ney. Morey’s name was not mentioned,
but intimations were so strong that
lie was closely regarded by the crowd
of spectators.

ilies, ruining homes and maintaining

Attorney'8 Ask for Continuance on Ac
comnt of Mother’s Illness.
THE APPLICATION WAS DENIED
All Technical Objections Fail and the
Prisoner Pleads Kot Guilty—The Mat
ter of Securing a Jury—Charges to
Which the Accused Has to Answer.
HASTINGS. Neb., March 21.—The
case of Miss Viola Horlocker. charged
with attempting to kil; Mrs. Charles F.
Morey by poison, was called for trial
in the district court. Miss Ollie Hor
locker entered the court room accom
panied by her sister, Mrs. Durrani
Cheever of New York. Immediately
John M. Ragan of the defense arose
and presented his affidavit for ccntin
pance which Judge Adams after care
fully reading overruled, said affidavit
being based upon the fact that Mrs.
Horlocker mother of the accused, was
scriouslj’ ill in New York City.
After the overruling of tht affidavit
the attorney for the defense arose and
asked leave of the court to withdraw
the plea of not guilty given at the last
term, which was granted.
Mr. Stevens immediately presented a
motion to the court to quash the in
formation. Mr. Ragan argued the mo
tion at some length attacking the in
formation for the reason that it did
not allege that the poison was a deadly
poison and for the further reason that
the defendant should be indicted by
a grand jury in order to be brought
properly o trial for these reasons «.ue
counsel contended that the indictment
was defective.
County Attonev McCreary made a
brief argument to support the informa
tion and Judge Adams promptly over
ruled the demurrer to the information.
Tudge Adams then requested the clerk
to call the names of the jurymen.
The attorneys for the defense were
equal to the emergeniv and forthwith
presented a motion challenging the
array of three counts, and moved to
quash the panel.
The first contention was that the
county board selected two lists of
names of jurymen, the first list eon
tainging sixty-one names while tne
law provides that only sixty names
shall be called, the second list being
named without the board reconsider
ing its former action. Second, the
January term was adjourned sine die
and the February meeting was called
or a special meeting. The present jury
being drawn from the last list was
hence not secured according to law,
and third, the names of the jurors
were not properly apportioned among
the voting precincts according to law.
The court overruled the challenge
to the array and apparently all tech
nical objections are exhausted.
Miss Horlocker was then formally
arraigned and the county attorney read
the information to which she pleaded
not guilty.
April 10. 1889. a box of poisoned
bon-bons were left at the studio door
of Mrs. Charles F. Morey, who was a:
that time conducting a painting class,
all the members of which partook of
the drugged candy that was left at the
door. Soon after they became serious
ly ill. and the life of Mrs. Morey ana
one or two of the others was despaired
of for some time. In the class were
some of the most popular young lames
of this city.
Suspicion was soon directed to Miss
Viola Horlocker. who was stenographer
in the law office of Tibbets. Bros. &
Morey. Complaint was sworn out and
the sherifl arrested Miss Horlocker ip
Iowa and brought her to this place.

GOLDEN TfllS WEIRD TALf.
Prosecution in Case of Goebel Murder
Suspects Play Trump Card.
FRANKFORT. Ky.. March 26.—F.
Wharton Golden of Barboursville was
put on the witness stand in the exam
ination of Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, charged with conspiracy to
murder Senator Goebel. Golden was
rather nervous on the stand, but did
rot hesitate in his replies to questions
and his testimony made a deep im
pression.
According to Golden. Caleb Pow-ers
was one of the prime movers in bring
ing to Frankfort of the mountaineers
just before the assassination of Goe
bel. and although Secretary Pow-ers
simply instructed him to bring wit
nesses who were mountain feudists,
vet Golden understood that they were
tc come to Frankfort for possibly a
more sinister purpose; that of "clean
ing out the democratic majority in the
legislature.’
Golden also brought in the name of
Governor Taylor in an incidental way.
also the names of Culton. John Pow
ers. Captain Davis. Chailes Finley,
Judge Bingham and others, the plan
to bring the mountaineers to Frank
fort having taken on a wider scope
than expected. It is expected the com
monwealth will rest at the conclusion
of Golden’s testimony. Golden was
seized with a slight hemorrhage dur
ing the hiorning and adjournment was
taken earlier than the usual hour.

being awakened from a drunken sleep.

something unusual must have trans

slaughter they proceeded to institute.
As soon a? I collected myself after the
execution I hastened out of the room,
and made myself as comfortable as
possible in a chair, waiting for day to
break, that I could shake the town. Al
though I made my escape in carpet

Sale of Tew# for Taxes.
A notice appears upon the front doot
of the First Parish church which has
attracted considerable attention at a
distance. On close inspection the no
tice proves to be one of a delinquent
tax sale. It is well known that the
First Parish clings to the old method
of pew ownership, in part at least. On
the pews that are owned, as on real es
tate in the city, a certain proportion of
the parish revenue is laid annually in
the form of taxes. In former times
there was not much attention paid to
this matter of taxes, but for some years
past the parish has been trying to ac
quire title to all of the pews, to the end
that taxes may be abolished and rental
substituted therefor. For this reason
the collector has been looking very
sharply after delinquents, and each
year the parish was bid in and bought
some pews. This list this year in
cludes some dozen or more, and thpy
are to be sold Jan. 15 if the unpaid
taxes are not paid in the meantime.
When this lot of pews is bidden in by
the parish committee t/iere will be on
ly about a dozen more'that are owned
by individuals, and the prospect is
good that these win/ be surrendered
within a year or t^or so that it will
become a free church where anyone
may secure seats anywhere by paying
rental for them, instead of in the old
fashioned way of owning a pew against
all comers and holding it as long as a
man holds his house.—Portland (Me.)

A Cocoon Guard.
“While down East." said a Mana
yunk mill hand. “I had the strange jot
of ‘cocoon guard' in a silk mill. The
cocoons were bought in China and Ja
pan by the pound. They are. you know,
the finished work of the silk worm
small, oval balls of silk, each with Its
worm coiled inside. I guarded the co
coons in a big room, where they lay
in bins, and I gave them to the girls
who prepared them for the cards. As
they were valuable, and as they were
also curios. I weighed the daily portion
each girl got. and counted the cocoons
in that portion besides. Thus, Maggie
would be charged by me in a day with
nine pounds, equaling 870 cocoons, and,
by a simple formula in division and
subtraction. I couid tell how many
pounds of yarn Maggie ought to get
from her portion, and if she came out
short the 'cocoon guard' would inquire
wherefore.”—Philadelphia Record.
