Tlio Evidence In the case of the State of Nebraska vs. llulbert L. Kellogg, on an indict ment for the murder of Robert J. Pal mer on the l9.h day of August, 167: PROSECUTION. Jacob Yah'ery I reside in Platts inouth. I was iti front o: Stadelmann's store when Palmer was shut on the 19Ji of Augu.:. Iffcird Palmer make loud remarks. He was in f ror,t of Muthis' old B ktry on Mai:, t'.rct, Cass county, Nebraska. I was facing towards Tu'iner. He stepped up cn the trough and aluok his ILt al same one who was Standing near a team. The other man reached to his pocket, drew a revolver and shot Palmer. Palmer stepped down and acted like he was trying to draw a revolver. He stepped around, and the other man shot again. Palmer then started up street, saying he was shot. The other man .vent across the street. They appear ed tj be watching each other. Palmer had nothing in his hand. He was not hi ftriking distance of the ether man Don't Know what Palmer said; he talk ed h'ud ai;d u -d s:::ie profane words. They en lied the man Kellogg who shut; I think the rrisonor is tho tame man. Think it wati tin fir.-t s-hot that hit Pal mer; he was up high. Bjth were standing still. Think the f hot va? find over backs of hort-es; was looking t him when he shot; he fired i:i front the second time. Pri oner stood further west when second shot was fired; were facing each other when first shot was fired Palmer was going past the wag on when the second shot was fired, and was tideways to Kellogg. If the first shot had missed Palmer the ball would probably have hit the building five .'eet up from the ground. TYp of trough was about two feet above the level cf ground. Kellogg was ttatulirg on the ground when he fired." The ball hole in biiildLig is about two feet above doer sill. I was we?! and south from parties when shots were, fired. They were not more than eight feet apart when the first shct was filed, and five cr six feet further at second. Palmer appear ed to be endeavoring to fire at Kellogg when Kellogg fired the second time, floie in door ranges too far west for first shct; it ecu!.! not have been made by the first slot have examined the hole and range. Palmer was gi ing wst vh?n the ?e:oi:d shct was fired, and kept on after the shot was fired. Kellogg went towards the center of the street after the second shot. Palmer came to Stadehnann's after he was .-hut; I saw where he was shot, a little to the rijdil ar,J above iho navel. Cros Examined. The wagon and hr.r; ea wl re between me and Pal.ner. Kr!kgg v.ii m th-" same si.! 2 I was. The team was h'-aded ncrth-en-t. I cou'd see inoU cf Palmer's body; he might have had a pi tol in his haul a hen talking to Kelb-gg, but I think not. I could see P!-.wr reach to his pocket after he got down off the tr-nigh. Am not positive ho put his horid into his p K-kct, but it Iokf-J that way. Think Palmer was trying to get arcund the wagon to shoct Kellogg v. hen Kel logg fired the socond time. I could see th? pistol in Kcilogg's hand plain when he shot firs t time. Re-direct. Palmer stepped a few paces north after first shot. Jas. O'Neill. I was in Plaltsmctith cm l-.i 19 h of August last; was sitti-ig beside Hanna's old store at the time of the ilioothig; was a little ea.-t a:.d width of street south of parties about fc'J feet distant. Shooting occurred about neon. Saw Palmer stop up on the platform or trough, and heard him talk loud to Kellogg. First I recolIt.it of hearing him say wns to the efTett that Kellogg had a loaded p'stol, and that he must leave the country. lie repeat ed two or three times that Kcdlcgg must leave the country, and was repeat ing'it when Kellogg shot. Saw th.i smoke rf :he pistol both li.nes when Kellogg fired. Palmer had nothing in hisj hand that I could see. Kellogg stood close to ihe team. Palmer was motioni: g with his hand's whe n the first shot was fired; he then stepped back, netth. quick, and then eait. First shot was fired over the horses withers, near the haruos. The ball would have struck the building five or six feet from the. ground if it Lad missed Palmer. It would have struck the building east cf the bakery door. The hcrses backed after the first shot. I think tho second shot struck the door. I: the second shot tad struck deceased it would have hit his legs or hips. Kellogg went to wards Hanna's store, and appeared to b watching Palmer. I saw deceased at the hotel several times before he died, which was four or five days after the shooting. -1 took the statement of the deceased ju-t af.er the shooting. Cross-Examined. I Dp iinl know whtither deceasedhad a pistol in his hand when Kellogg fired Grst. Kel bogg eppt ared "cowed," and kept close to liis horses. He looked excited as he came to Hanna's. lie came across the - - e--r-- street about tho same time that Palmer went towards Stadd.i;an:iV. I luoked for a fuss, because Palmar had just told nie that he had tow-hided K'lkgg a few days before. Re-direct. Palmer told me that he had whipped Kellogg, and that Kelh'gg would be in that day and would proba bly file an information, and he wanted me to be tasy oa bim. He also told me that Kellogg must leave the coun try. C. II. Parmele. I was at Dr. Don elan's Drug Store, Main street, Piatt;, mouth, on the l'Jth of August, when the shooting occurred. I was toirh and a little west of the r arties. The first I heard of the affray was some loud words. I looked around and saw the smoke fiom a revolver. The team ran back. Kellogg stood near the O 3 head cf the off horse; the team ran back eight or ten feet after the first shot was fired." Palmer started west on the sidewalk; the wagon was be tween him and prisoner; I thought he started to go around the end cf wagon; he turned east again .and came up near heads of horses when the second shot was fired by pri.oner; Palmer then ran west on sidewalk and aai I he was slut; he came acro-s to DoneLn's. The la?t I sz-.v of Kellogg he was half way across l Hanna's. Only hoard two sho"t-; think Palmer did not shoot. Cross Ex. It was about the time the firt shot was fired that I first saw Pal nv;r; saw a putI in his hand after he got on the sidewalk; might have had u pistol iu his hand when the first :hot was fired. Horses were between me and deceased; could see most of hi body; think he was on the watering trcuh. Did not hear Ktlloug say anything; could not understand what Padmer iaid before ihe sho'. was fired. PrisotK-r did not go across the sireet fast; he had started, cs I thought, across the street, but came ba.k when Palmer came towards the wagon. Kel logg sh-.t under the horses heads the -co. :,d lime. lie stood near ihe hordes shoulders; ihc-y stood at the pump w hen the first shot was fired; and about as far west as the Bakery doora when the second sho: was fired. There is a bul let hole through the Bakery door. The range of the bullet hole in the door is ueaiiy in rang-a with where pristner steed when he fired the first shot. He stood further west when he firtd the second time. Re-direct. The horses heads were nt l no watering trough west cf ihe pump when the first shct was firtd; the hind end of the wagon was alo it tight or ton feet from the sidewalk. It was after the second shot that Puh.R-r s'id he wis dtot; he had gone abou. fi't.c-n feel when he said it. II. F. Price. Was cn Mam stroe', t'lattsmr.uth, oa the 19. h of Augu .'; heard the Jlrt ahot but did not see it. Stepped out and saw Kellogg apparent ly p'jllinir the oil horse back, and roatU around unJer the Lor.-es heads and fire. Palmer wtr.l towards Dnehm's. Kel logg went ov,r to Hanna's, stood up by the door-cheek and raised up his re volver and cocked it. R G. Doom. Was in riattsmouth on the 19th of August, at Simpson Sc Michel .rail's store, saw Palmer stand ing on the watering trough. Kellogg was there wi.ti hii team; prisoner was on the same side with Palmer. He started r.nd went around the wagon; deceased was talking and had his hands in motion. Saw the smoke cf pri.-on-er's pistol, ho was then ou tho south east side of the wager; deceased was on the trough, he got down after the firt shot. Pa'mer went towards Ami s m's and then went to St .dehnann's. I saw the smoke from both shots. 1 Went to SiaJtlmann's and saw whore deceased Was shct. "At the. time de ceased had his hands up making mo tions I did not see anything in his. hands. Saw deceased have a revolver at seme time, but do not know when it was. Kellogg appeared perfectly cool at the time of the shooting. Could not see pri.oner as distinctly as deceased. Cross-Ex. I mean by Kellogg bo ing cool that he did not talk, t-w Pal m r in at Simp-ou &. Mickt Iwaii's store just before the affray; he started out of the store and went down street; as he started out I heard him say "Kel logg." John Black. I was called upon to see Pal.ner after he was shot; found him in Stadclmanu's, wounded with gun-shot wound. I tended on him, in compiny wi'h Dr. Livingston, until his death, and helped to make a po6l mor eiJi examination. The ball which wounded him went into .the bowels above and to. the right of the ravel. Palmer died on the 21th of August from the effects of ihat woun.i. Cros-Ex. The' ball -had passed nearly straight through, ranging slight ly downward. Wm. Stadehnann. I was in front of my store, in Piattsmouth, on the 19th of August. Heard some loud talk and heard Palmer saying "God damn" lo seme one; iaw Kellogsr draw a revolv- j er and shoot. Palmer was on the wta tering trough; could see his body down as low as the waist. After the first shot was fired deceased ran up toe street and got his revolver out; he ran back and Kellogg fired again. Deceas ed then ran up the street and said he was shot; did not see anything in his hand while he was on the trough. Kellogg went across to Hanna's store fttr the shooting; taw him cock his revolver after he went over to Hanna's. I took deceased irflo my store. Cross-Ex. Palmer might have had a small pistol in his hand while at the pump, but I do not think lie had; his pistol was a small one. Did not see his left hand. Palmer and Kellogg were 25 or 30 feet apart when the last shot was fired. I saw blood on deceased's .-hirt before he said he- was shot. When he came into my store he said it was the fir--', shot that hit him. lie said so three or four times. Sufficient evidence was here submit ted to the Court (with which the j iry had nothing to do) to show that the statement of Palmer was made while he believed himself about to be sum moned before the Bar of God, and the following was admitted as evidence in the case : Statement of Robert J. Palmer, made before Jas. O'Neill, a Justice cf the Peace, in and for Cass county, Ne braska, in reference to his being shot by II. L. Kellogg, tu the 19ih day of August, 1&G7: 1 told him that I was going to have my wh-atthrcsttd day after to-morrow; he said, "I will kill you if you fool with me." I said, "I do not intend to hurt you; but you cr I will have to leave this country, as 1 understand you are carrying a deadly weapon for me." He then pulled out. his terolver and shot me. Question Did you make any threats or motions towards him. Answer No, sir. My revolver was in my pocket whet: he shot me. I make this statement having been told by my physicians lhat I cannot live long, and the same is true, as 1 expect to answer at the Bar of Gcd. R. J. Palmer. I do hereby certify that the abovo statement of 11 Ion J. Palmer wis made and signed before me on this 19:h day of August, A. D. 1SG7. Jamls O'NriLL, J. P DErtXCT. G. II. Black. I was at ihe store of Black & Buttery at the time of the shooting, a little west of south from where the shooting occurred. I was sitting inside the store when the affray commenced, but Lr-.'t up ;u. ! went to th" door. I in J a fair view except what the te.ua obstructed. I Lean! lend talk from Palmer. Heart! him say God damn your soul, you will I p.vfi to leave this: country or I will. Wo cannot both stay here.'' He w as t n the platform. After saying this he .-tarti d a. ound the pump. Kellogg wu on the opposite siie of the team, faeiog west cf norili, with his Lml in his coat pocket. lie raised his hand up even with his body and fired under the hors es neck; or near there. Deceused put his pistol over the horses necks and en deavored to fire at defendant. Some one fired a second shot; don't know which it was. Deceased went op n-ar the tailor's shop, and said "I am shot." He then started af ross the street to wards Donehn's, and then defendant started across. I saw Palmer's pistol almost immediately after the first shot. He had to go over the w atering trough or around the ptunp to get to K-llogg. The horses were at the west end of the trough. The barrel of the pistol was elevated when first shot was fired. I j could not see Palmer's hands for the j hordes. He was gOsticu'ating. Cross-Examined. I was silting down when I heard the first noise. It was but a few seconds; after I went to the door that the first shot was fired. Platform extends about 2 1-2 feet west cf the pump. Palmer was either on platform or pavement when I first saw him. Trough is on south side of the pump. The team was angling across the street. Horses heads were nrar west end of the trough. Prisoner stood south of off hor.se, near its head, when he fired first shot, not over six feet from deceased, with left hand hold of horses. Ke-'direct. I was a little nearer to the shooting than where O'Neill testi fies he was. W. Mickelwait. I was in Platts niouth on the 19 h of August when the shotting occurred." Deceased was in our store for about an hour before the affray occurred, He left there about 12 nVlitrk- nnd T wpnf nut about the same time, he ' did. He was luying j itli detetitlant. lie ot o-ne time went goods. I did not notice that he was in ' '5iree miles out of his way to pre- i any m re hurry'' than usual when hevent going past 'Palmer' house. On' went otit'of the'siore. I d- not knowTSotKiay before the shooting prisoner ; 1 which way he went. Lewis Walters. I nm acquainted with prisoner. Keilogg went away to Iova; the morning he started Palmer came to my hotrse, where prisoner was boarding, and told him he must leave the country before eight o'clock or the blood of one or the o'her must be spill ed. After prisoner came back he went around Primer's bru?e instead cf going past. Cross-Ex. Kellogg went to Iowa about the first of Angus-; am not posi tire as to day. Mrs. E. J. Wallers. I heard the evidence of Lewis Walters; was pres ent ot the conversation; Kellogg refus ed io go out with Palmer; prisoner was boarding at our house; we were not i p when deceased came; while prisoner was boarding at our house and at Fow ler's he went around Palmer's. De ceased came again and wanted Kellogg lo go out and have a talk with him; prisoner refused. Deceased told me he would way-lay the road for prison er; this was after the horsa-whip ping. Kellogg is a quiet, peaceable man, so far as I know. Cross-Ex. I have been acquainted with Kellogg since last April. Deceas ed did net say what he wanted to talk to prisoner about. Chas. Fowler. I know tf Talmer making threats against the lifecf pris oner; when we were cntting wheat on Kc-l!ngg'? place, for deceased, in July or August, he was talking to one of the hands, he said Kell gg must net come on that place again, or one of them must be killed; srsid he did not want prisoner to come on. So far as I Vnow prisoner's reputation is good. Ca cline Palmer. I am acquainted with prisoner; am the daughter of de ceased ; deceased : aid he w ould kill prisoner when he got his eye on him. Fa her loaded a pistol and put it iu his pocket; said he would way-lay prisoner. I told prisoner that father would kill him if he did not look out; this was right away after the horse-whipping. Cross Ex. Told Kellogg of the threats as I was going to school; it was after the hoi se-whipping. The testimony of several witnesses in regard to the range cf the ball that passed through the door of the bakery is here cini.ted, it be ing unimportant in the case. 1'. M. D rrington. Heard deceased in II; ;;"s saloon, in As.-pUst, say pris oner cr hiiv.self must leave the country. He said lie could take j risen r's heart's Hood with good grate. Afterwards said he had horse-w Lippt d prisoner, and would do it again if he did not Lave the country. Cioss Ex. Palmer Euid prisoner h id created ditturi-auce in his family; ii.at his wife had It ft L:m, and pri.-oner was the cau.-e That Kellogg had bet.

Palmer appeared deter mined that Kellogg should leave the country. Geo. Amick. I am acq-tainled with defendant. Heard decea-ed say, while prisoner was ever the river, that lie cr Kellogg had to die; that he had gone to Wallers' to shoot him, but could not get him cut. Asked me to tell Kellogg he had nothing r.gainst him, so that he would not be shy and he could ge t a chance for revenge. I never told any one of this w hih? deceased was living. Cross-Ex These threats w ere made in August. No one else present. Palmer said his wife had attempted to muroer him, and he thought Kellogg had helped to by the plan. lie-direct. Deceased said he did not thmk there was any criminal inti macy between Kellogg and his wife, but his wife had fallen in love with ,-llogg. v (i :-, :fr n:,r,i.!.vi,..r,r0 Palmer was sl ot I was at his house, and he told me he had horse whipped Kellogg, and that he would do it again. He said Kellojg had tu leave the coun try cr he would kill him. Here the testimony of several wit nesses is omitted, as they were called only to prove the general reputation cf the prisoner as a pacceful, law-abiding man. They all testified that his gen eral reputatien was good J John Fowler. I am acquainted with defendant. He knew of threats made by Palmer. Kellogg was boarding at my house, and was afraid te go out to the field la fix his fenc. He said he was afraid Palmer wouln kill him. He avoided Palmer's ko-.ise" for fear of j Palmer. I came with him to to wn the I day of the shooting. He said he was ! nfraid to com) fllone. Palmer stutted i for town directly after we did. and we I waited and let him get ahead. Geo. Dunaway.

Prisoner had made arrangements about a week before the shooting to go over the ri er to make hay. Mrs. Wallers re called. The chil dren of Palmer told me io te'l Keilogj to keep out of their lather's way or he would kid him. I told Kellegg. They told 'me three or four times. Wm. Pig-got'.. I heard Palmer say he had went lo Walters' to tclldefand ant tu leave the country or his heart's blood would pay the debt. Wm. Co! v in, jr. I heard deceased say lhat Nebraska was not largo enough fcr both him and prisoner, and lhat prisoner must leave the country or die. This was a short time before- the shoot ing I trvnk the Sunday before. Cross Ex Palmer sa:d prisoner had ruined him and his family, and he would have revenge. Gee. D.inaway re-called. 1 think it was three or four days before the shooting that the horse-whipping oc curred. AXOTEZEZC. We find the following heavy "Dem ocratic argument"' in a lale number of tho Omaha Herald. It is the kind that is i xo cte.l to influence and con vince the men that read thit jot rnnl : "We notice by the leh-arams lh.it Miij. General Radical R.-jtwell ami 'Penitential v cf Hell' Thad Stevens."' , Special dispatch"? sr.y "hat the prop osition to hold a continuous session of Congress during John-on's term of of fice is favorably received. fev2TSaid Gn. Sitkels in a recent speech in Alabama : "Whatever the rebels suffer from the reconstruction acts, follows as the unavoidable conse quences of their crime and their folly. The incendiary, who fires his own dwelling that he may destroy his neighbor's, must not assail the firemen who put out the flames because ihey flood his house with water." This is a terse statement of the ques tion upon which the copperheads are trying so earnestly to agitate the peo ple. ISAn exchange asks: "And if the Democracy of Ohio have the right, be ing in the major-tj. to exclude colored men from the ballot-box, why may not the colored men in South Carolina, un der similar circumstances, exe'ude white men." This is a very pertinent question fur the "mawter nice" to tudy upon. Fr2rThere 's a town cf -100 inhabit a i. is in Ohio, every one of whom vol: d the Democratic ticket. A few years smce a colporteur learned by observa tion and inquiry that but one in thirty of the people could read, and only one in fifty-five possessed r. bible. ZtO.M.2. The movements around Rome are beginning to portend the approaeh of great events. Popular tumults, and even insurrectionary uprising, around any ether city might mean l.ttle; but thee occurrences in the vicinity of the Eternal City, have the profoundest sig nificance. No other word has such a comprehensive meaning as "Rome." In religion, in politics, in diplomacy, in civilization, and, it is said, in prophecy, it is the centre of clustering intereMs that belong io the whole world. Even in its ruins, th old city poses.-es an im portance' not inlViior to that which it posessed when it wris the abode of the Ca?sars. A shock at Rome cr?a'.s; an instant tremor at Paris, at Vienna, at Madrid, at all ihe capitols of Europe, and a responsive sensation in the remo test corners of the earth; for whether Ro ne a the court of the Pope shall Mand or fall, is a question that half the governmenta of the globe, and millions of persons feel the quickest interest in. We already seo commotions in Catho lic populations consequent on the Gari taldian menace? against Home is equaly a movemi nt again-t the Church in Italy.
