Foal Murder.
"On the morning of the 5th inst.,
the startling announcement was
mado that Col. Watson B. Smith,
clerk of the United States district
court, bad boon foully assassinated
during tho night by an unknown
vidian, which sent a thrill of horror
through the community of Omaha.
Col. Smith was found in the third
story of tho court houso about mid
night, lying upon tho marble floor,
with his head to the north, and his
legs stretching part way across the
opening of the door. His left arm
lay upon his breast, and his right
arm lay stretched out upon tho floor,
with the hand partly doubled up,
particularly tho first finger. His
bead was closo to the wall, and was
Burroundcd by a large pool of blood
and brains which had become clot
ted. The blood covered a surface
of three or four feet. His hat lay
under his head and was partly filled
with blood. A deop bolo in his
head was found over the left tem
ple. Tho butt-end of a revolver was
discovered sticking out of tho loft
pantaloons leg near tho foot, a very
curious place for it to bo found, and
upon examining the weapon it was
discovered that one chamber had
boen discharged. It was a big self
cocking revolver, of the bull-dog
pattern. At his feet lay a bundle of
newspapers, a postal card and two
business lottors directed, ready for
mailing. In the partly opened door
was Iub bunch of keys, and every
thing goes to show that he had just
concluded his business and was
about to lock tho door and depart
when he was set upon and killed by
an unknown assassin, under cover
of the darkness, and who had been,
lying in wait for him.
Upon closo inspection of tho de
ceased a large bullet holo was found
clear through the head, from loft to
right, entering above tho temple and
passing out in a diagonal direction
on tho other side further back on tho
head. Tho holo, at tho entrance was
very large and jagged, and appeared
as if it had been mado by a blow
from a heavy instrument. Tho hole
at the exit was also quite largo and
ragged. Powder marks were on
his face, showing that the revolver
had been placed close to him. The
bullet was found on tho floor in the
northwest corner of the hall, badly
battered.
Aftor a full investigation of tho
ovidonce, the jury returned a ver
dict that the deceased came to his
death by a gun-shot wound through
the head, inflicted by somo person
or persons, to the jurors unknown,
and wo do further find that the kil
ling waB a premeditated and ma
licious murder.
A citizens meeting was called and
fivo thousand dollars reward offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
assassin.
The people of Omaha purpose to
raise ten thousand dollars in the
aggregate for a reward, and for fer
roting out tho guilty party.
The cause of his death is not yet
known, but a strong suspicion exists
that be has fallen a martyr because
of an endeavor to enforce a law of
tho state, and should it thus turn
out, then must the highest sense of
justice demand a remedy.
Wo find the following additional
facts given iu the dailies, developed
upon tho coroner's inquest of a case
that promises to be eolobrated in the
annals of this stato. It was at first
supposed that the murder was due
to some low character in tho whisky
interest, as the deceased had been
very active in making prosecutions
of violations of law, bnt the journals
state that there aro reasons (though
they do not say what thoy are) for
looking to an entirely different
source for tho inciting cause. The
Good Templars offer a reward of
$200, the liquor men's association
$500, and at a meeting of citizens of
Omaha $10,000 was pledgod. Tho
Bee says :
TRACKS SEEN.
Tho doors leading from tho hall
way into the United States court
room, and from tho clerk's office
into the court room wero all found
by tho oflicors upon their arrival to
be locked.
Tho north door fronting on Fif
teenth street, was found unlocked, as
it had probably been left for the
Colonol to get out. Tho Bee report
or discovered tho back window, on
the northwest corner of tho building
raised. The janitor loft it down last
night. On tho stone sill wero plain
boot marks, qnito fresh, and along
tho stono coping the muddy marks
of boots,- leading to tho cornor from
which tho assassin leaped to tho
sidewalk. This was undoubtedly
tho assassin's pre-arranged exit. The
steps to tho sonth front door wero
daubed with blood and spotted with
the same, as if tho bloody hand
which besmeared the weapon had
boon shaken and then wiped off on
tho stone.
IMPANNELING THE JURY.
At 8 o'clock, Coroner Jacobs im
pannolled a jury consisting of James
Stephenson, A. Atkinson, J. B.
Furay, J. L Redick, F. McShane, D.
L. Shane, who wero sworn in in tho
hall of tho building where tbo body
lay, and viewed tho corpse, which
was immediately after removed to
Mr. Jacob's undertaking rooms,
where a post mortem was set for 10
o'clock. Tho watch, ring, money
and valuables wero all found, show
ing that robbing was not tbo object
of tho crime. In tho large pocket
book was
A POSTAL CARD
addressed "Watson B. Smith, city,"
and postmarked "Omaha, October
20, 12 m." The roverse side of this
card boro the words
"nOLD TniS BEFORE A MIRROR."
Upon doing this as directed the
previously illegible communication
was scon to be as follows :
"Yon dirty little elinken white
headed son-of-a-b . If you over
interfere with my business again I
will cut your out as sure as
your name is Shister. You dirty

Judge Maxwell will, of course,
bo his own successor, but this did
not prevent some interested persons
or cliquo from distributing a circu
lar against tho upright Judge,whose
rulings bIiow no bias of partiality or
personal interest. This is tho first
time in tho history of Nebraska pol
itics that we remember to havo seen
such a documont, the unknown au
thor ashamed to place his name in
connection therewith. The circular
itself bears internal ovidenco of the
source whenco it emanates, if not
tho individual who ponned its un
truthful lines. That elomont, which
seema to havo abundance of monoy
at its disposal for such work, should
expend it in square, honest business
for tho accomplishment of ita ends,
and not endeavor, by means to
which assassins resort, to destroy
both character and life.
The arguments on tho motion to
sot aside the criminal information in
tho star routo cases was begun one
morning last week at Washington
City. The government is represent
ed by District Attorney Corkhill and
Brewster, of Philadelphia; Bliss, of
Now York, and Cook, of Washing
ton, and tho dofonso by Totton, Wil
son, Shellabargor, R. G. Ingersoll,
Syphor and Jefferson Chandler, of
St. Louis. The counsol on the pari
of the defendants claim that in such
cases thore could bo no authority
found in any of tho statutes for filing
a criminal information. No result
had been reached, but tho counsol
for the defence, Mr. Ingersoll, insists
that the grand jury is placed botween
tho citizon and his reputation and in
liko cases protects his good name.
