Sioux FALLS , S. D. , May 29. Plci
ty Horses is a free man and will toda
leave for the reservation , proud of th
distinction of having deliberately mui
dered one of the bravest officers in th
United States army , Lieutenant Ed war-
Casey.
The last day of the trial was fraugfc
with exciting events. The defens
first aroused the indignation of th
court by giving the reason why Livin
Hear , father of Plenty Hordes , had nc
been brought to the court , although
bench warrant was issued for his ai
rest. It seems the deputy entruste
with the warrant slipped a cog in hi
moral conduct when he reached Siou.
City and lost two days in his reckoninj
of time. The court announced thn
the matter would be thoroughly sifted
Following this came the attempte
suicide of White Moon , a Chcyenn
witness for the prosecution. Whit
Moon was with Casey when Plent
Horses lired the fatal shot , and the de
fense introduced testimony question in ;
the reliability of White Moon's testi
mony. Some one explained to th
Cheyenne the consequence of. perjur ;
and he brooded over the matter unti
he took a jack-knife and stabbed him
self in the base of the neck on the lef
side. "A hen found the blade , ubou
three inches lon'g , was still sticking ii
the wound. Physicians were callet
and he is now on a fair way to re
covery.
Judge Shiras delivered the charge t <
the jurors instructing them to bring it
a verdict of not guilty. He explained
that Judge Edgerton disagreed wit !
him on the proposition of instructing
for tin acquital , but the instructions tc
be given , however , were to be consid
ered those of the court. The charge
was quite lengthy. Ho declared thai
in his opinion actual war existed at the
time of Casey's death.
Immediately upon adjournment Plen
ty Horses was surrounded by ladies
and other spectators , who shook hands
with him for some time , after which
Attorney Powers with beaming face
led his still silent and undemonstra
tive client to his hotel , where Plenty
Horses spent some hours' time in writ-
lutographs for bystanders.
The testimony given by Capt. Bald-
ivin aide Gen. Miles , was an import-
int feature in establishment of the fact
af war.He came with all the official
papers of the war department bearing
jpon the circumstances previous to
ind at the time of Casey's death , and
ilthough the documents had only been
jffered by the defense and the admis
sion not been decided upon by the
: ourt , the captain's own testimony
, vas of the same character.
3tnalia IJortors Charged with ? Inrdcr.
OMAHA , May 29. At 1:30 o'clock
his morning the patrol wagon laden
vith officers quietly left the police sta-
ion and drove to the residence of Dr.
L A. Williams , of the Omaha Medical
"nstitute. A ring at the door bell was
mswered by Mrs. Williams. Detec-
ive Haze and Sergeant Ormsby stated
hat they had come to arrest Dr. Wil-
iams. The officers were admitted and
he doctor was immediately taken into
: ustody. After leaving Dr. Williams
it the station the wagon drove to the
) maha Medical Institute on Ninth
treet and placed Dr. Isaac Sinclair
nd President A. T.McLaughlin under
.rrest.
Ail the parties were booked at the
tation and charged with murder. The
acts are :
In February last Miss Isabella Bea-
er , a young lady fiving at Platts-
louth , Neb. , was brought to Omaha
a have a criminal operation performed
y the faculty of the institute. Miss
leaver died at the institute on the
econd day of her illness. February 8.
) r. Sinclair signed the death certifi-
: ate , stating the case of death as the-
mhasis emhalisen. The remains were
iken to Plattsmouth for burial. Last
veiling Detective Haze and Coroner
[ arrigan procured an engine and made
flying trip to Plattsmouth.
With the aid of a couple of laborers
ic grave was opened , the body taken
ut and an investigation made by Dr.
[ arrigan. The investigation showed
lat Miss Beaver died from the effects
f i a criminal operation performed at
ic institute by the doctors named.
It is claimed that the institute peo-
le told the unfortunate woman that a
riminal operation was absolutely nec
tary to save her life. Upon that
.atement , which she believed to be
ue , Miss Beaver consented to be
laced under the knife. She died from
le effects of the operation , and on ac-
junt of the cause stated in the death
irtificate no investigation was ever
lade.
When arrested Dr. Williams mani-
isted no surprise , going quietly with
ic officers. Drs. Sinclair and Mc-
aughlin were dragged from their
ids and were exceedingly loth to ac-
) mpany the officers. None of the
irty would speak about the case and
ere locked up without making any
cphinatiou or defense.

sumed and Judge S. Ii. . Breckenrid *
of St. Louis , member of the committ <
on theological seminaries and one >
the most eminent lawyers in the soutl
stated the points in the case. Yea :

We can do nothing wisely except di :
approve. I think it is wise not to ai
sign reasons. A judge sometimes cai
not give all the reasons for his decii
ions on the bench. But without a :
signing reasons it docs seem to me th :
the mind of the church for some montb
past has been anxious that we shoul
relieve it.1 His last words were ; "Now
gentlemen , I feel that I have ui :
charged my duty and wish to be e. >
cused from further speaking. " Read ;
ing for a glass of water he threw u
his hands and fell , striking his hea
heavily on the floor.
After the judge had been carried t
the ante-room the debate was arrested
and when , a few moments afterwards
physicians in the audience who hurriei
to his aid pronounced him dead , th
assembly voted to do no further busi
ness , and instead of a banquet in th
rink this evening they held a praye
meeting in Fort street clnirch.

CHICAGO , May 50. Inquiry at thi
military headquarters in this city concerning
corning the trial of Plenty Horses foi
: he killing of Lieutenant Casey eiic
.ted the following statement :
The facts of the case are that , i
.here was a condition of hosliiitie-
irevailing. it existed during the lattei
) art of December and January while
nformation was being sent to the hos-
iles that the only safe road was to re-
.urn to the agency and surrender.
Orders were given to the troops tc
> ress them on all sides and force their
jack to the agency. Lieutenant Casej
vas in no sense a spy , although it :
sivilized warfare his capture mighi
) erhaps have been justiiiabie. He was
jot in the enemy's camp or in any way
iisguised. He wore the uniform oJ
ne United States army officer in the
ixecution of his duties as such. He
vas reconnoitering the country and
[ rounds and portions of the enemy's
: amp , and was killed by one of the
lostile Indians. In a war between
: ivilized nations the manner of his
ailing would probably be considered
> y what is known as a military com-
nission. The hostile Indian who killed
dm was arrested on an order issued
> y General Miles long before any civil
ndictment was found against him or
icfore it was safe for any sheriff or
J. S. marshal to go through thatcoun-
rywith a posse of civil officers. He
ras sent to Fort Mead and placed in
he guard house by a military escort ,
ti order that he might be subject to a
ivil tribunal for them to determine
he important question of justification
r non-justification of his taking the
ife of Lieut. Casey. He was not with-
eld for the time by Gen. Miles , but
y order of the war department. The
rst question for a court to decide
ould be whether the Indians in a
tarving condition and under treaties
iolated , can make war against the
fnited States.
Secondly , when in a condition ol
ostility as to their immunity from
ial for taking the life of an officer in
ie discharge of his duty. The pros-
2ution in the trial of Plenty Horses
= ked for information as to the status
[ affairs existing- that time and re-
nved all the information that the
lilitary could give them. The defense
.so aslced for information and receiv-
i it in the same way , and the whole
atter has been left for a judge and
velve intelligent jurymen to execute
ie law and afford justice to ail con-
srned. A warm friendship existed
jtween Gen. Miles and the murdered
licer , and Gen. Miles once offered
.m a position on his staff , which was
iluctantly declined for reasons that
ere uudersiood and approved by the
rmer.
