" " / THE OMAHA BEE. ELEVENTH YEAR OMAHA THURSDAY MORNING , FEBRUATvY 2 1882. 191 , THE CRIMINAL'S ' CADAVER "Which is Betting to bo a Snbjoot of Dispute , A Now York Mau Claims to Have Secured it For Exhibition. Proposing to Whaok Up on the Proceeds With Gui- teau's Rolativoa. This is Indignantly Denied by the Sister of the Con demned Man. But Scovillo Evidently lm Willing to Tnko Hli Share. ] JiitUonal AfxxxiaUsl NKW YORK , February 1. A Phila delphia special says the announce ment was recently made that J. II. Ridgeway , the patentee und builder of refrigerators cars , had made over tures to George Ecovillo for the purchase - chase of the assassin Guitoau's ' body after death. Rid eway recently re ceived u letter from Scovillo saying that the relatives regarded the propo sition favorably. It now appears that llidgeway's project is to build ono of his cars especially for the pur- .pose , fit it up elaborately , and trans port Guiteau s body from ono end of the country to the other , oxhibiti'n'g it wherever n stop is made. The body will bo perfectly preserved iii a frozen condition. Ridgeway estinntes there U a million dollars in the enterprise. J. II. Ilidgoway says ho has received the following letter with regard to his proposition lo exhibit the acmains of Guiteau : " \VAHIUNOTON , D. C. , January 150 , 1882. Your's of the 28th inst. re- coived. The iclativc-a sire inclined to regard your piopuuiiion favorably in case of death. The brain wi'l ' have to be removed and post mortem ex amination made. ( Signed ) "GEOKOK SCOVII.LK. " It is understood that Mr. Ridgfc- wao gives the relatives 85,000 with a percentage. He calculates this will make the total price for the corpse S-10,000 at least. If the offer is accepted the body would be preserved by a patent re frigerating process , ice and salt being the materials used. The exhibition oar and rotrigorator will cost 830,000. Mr. Ridgeway says that it will bo elegantly carpeted and upholstered , and the metalic cooling apparatuswill be concealed by rich hangings. It has not yet been decided how the body will be disposed of , but it will } > e arranged so'as-to 'look as natural as possible. The'fu'nrfwill be drassed as in life , and the features it is expected will retain the expression as they were immediately after they became fixed in death. Mr. Ridgeway says this will result from the state of perfect preservation in which the corpse will bo retained by the refrigerating appa ratus. He says : "We will visit all of thp chief cities of this country , after which we will go to Europe and probably exhibit the body in all of the principal cities of the continent. I think we will do oven bettor finan cially there than in this country. In London especially I expect to get largo returns. I wrote to Guiteau soon after his trial began , making a similar proposition to him. Ho re plied , saying that lie was disposed to regard my proposals with favor but that he would have to refer me to his counsel. I think there is no doubt but that I shall set the body and I am now making arrangements to se cure the largest halls in the country. " WASHINGTON. February L Dis trict Attorney Corkhill says that Sco villo is a worse crank than Guiteau if thinks that the American pcoplo will answer his address and contribute money. Mr. Reed holds a very dit- forent opinion as to Scovillo's ad dress and says "I have done about all I can do. Mr. Scovillo's appeal states the thing very well this morning. I have done all I could for Guiteau in an * V honorable and gentlemanly way. I think that appeal of Mr. Scovillo's is u good manly utterance. It may not amount to anything. There are people who 1 believe would like to help him , but are afraid the public clamor demand this man's execution. " Both oilicers and privates at the Washington barracks complain of the service required of them In doing ' guard duty at the jail over Guiteau , 'which U'oy consider unnecessary. Said one of the officers to a local re porter : "I wish that you would put in a paragraph to the efiV.ct that the small pox hospital is only 150 yards from the jail. Our men have to march back and forth by it everyday. There are 500 people in thw garrison and suppose they should bring the small pox hero. If you print something about it the secretary of war and other people up town will see it. If they want us to guard Guifeau why not bring him down here ? Mr. Scoville's attention being called to the dispatches about the sale of Guiteau's body to J. H. Ridgoway , of Philadelphia , he took a pencil and wrote as follows : " 1 said the proposition would bo entertained , if the time over arrived. First , there mint be a post mortem examination of the brain ; second , such disposition of the body as will bo without objection to the relatives. No indignities. I said no money derived therefrom would over be used by his relatives ; it would bo applied to pay. ing his debts , and then to promote thu care of insane people , " Charles H. Reed , one of Guitoau's counsel , to-night characterizes the proposition concerning the oxhib tion of Guiteau's body after execution , to be shocking , monstrous and damnable , Ho thinks Scovillo haa shown bad taste in over considering the disposi tion of the body of a client. Scovillo is evidently serious about the proposed exhibition of Guitoau's body , which is an indication Ihat there is little hopes on his part of a non trial. II is not likely the government will permit such a course. The authorities will probably hold the body , as they did Booth's. Cnie\oo , February 1. The atten tion of Mrs. Scovillo was directed to the dispatch from Philadelphia do' tailing the arrangements of J , H. Ridgoway to preserve and exhibit the body throughout the country. The dispatch scorned to indicate that thu relatives of Iho assassin wore willing such disposition should bo made of his remains. After reading the dispatch , Mrs. Scovillo said : "I don't believe anything of this kind has been done. Wo have not got to the point of con sidering what shall bo done with the remains of my brother , whenever and kowover ho may die. I shall take the body and have a post mortem made by exports of my own selection , I alone shall decide as to the disposi tion to be made of his remains , The idea of exhibiting his body around the country is horrible , and 1 wouldn't have it done if wo were starving , and wo have not reached that desperate state of poverty yet. An ofl'or of ? 5- , 000 cnsh was made to me for the body of Charles , but I refused it. There isn't enough money in the country to buy it for the purpose of exhibition. So far us ho is able to miiko legal dis position of his body and of his eUbcts , ho has given them to mo. I wanted him to make a will , but Mr. Scovillo said ho could not do that as ho was insane , and it would have no legal force if ho should now bo induced to make a will disposing of his body so that it might bo put on exhibition. I would contest its validity in court just us I would contest the act of any other insane man ( that affected mo. But then people niud not put themselves solves to too much trouble about this matter. Charles Guiteau is not going to bo hung. " "Do you want me tp understand that this dispatch with your husband's name attached is bogus T' "I don't know anything about thai. 1 am satisfied my husband would not send such a dispatch without consult ing me , and ho knows that such an arrangement could not bo made with out my consent. " Bad Work of a Ball Whnokor. Special li < ) wt'h toTiih UKK. SIDNEY , Neb. , February 1. A murderous , cowardly shooting affair occurred at Running Water ranche , ono hundred miles north of here , late last night.y A bull whacker named John Lewis wanted to run the rancho , and Mrs. Hughes , the proprietress , in endeavoring lo eject him , was shot by Lewis in the posterior , the ball of15 calibre , Colt's , lodging near the rec tum. He fled in the darkness. No truce could bo found of him. The cow-boys seem hostile over the event , and a large posse of them started out this morning after him , and his car cass will probably dandle from a tree if captured. This same Lewis killed a cow-boy at Fort Robinson two months ago , and by some means was acquitted , and all supposed ho left the country. His record throughout has been villainous and tough. Murder in Lincoln Special to the Doc LINCOLN , Neb , February 1. - Much excitement was created here to-day by the announcement that a young girl had been cooly murdered.

The substitute was finally with drawn and a clause inserted in the. bill ratifying and confirming Ilia acts. The bill was then reported from the committee of the whole to the senate , when further debate sprung up on Mr. Plumb's amendment limit ing redemption to § 100,000,000 , when the senate wont into executive session and continued the nomination of 8.

At 1 o'clock the house wont into committee of the whole to consider the fiostollico appronr ations. Mr. Morrison , in explaining pro visions of the bill said the amount ap propriated for letters carriers would permit the postmaster general to in crease the pay of auailaay letter carriers , now numbering about 400 and getting but 8400 per year. Mr. Hooker presented an amend ment prohibiting the postmaster general discontinuing mail routes on rivers. Mr. Uingham gave notice ho would , when the bill was read in section , move to increase the sum of $2,950- 000 appropriated by free delivery sys tem , § 300,000. The bill was then referred to the house for general debate to-morrow. A communication was received from the secretary of the interior in answer to an inquiry from the house. The inquiry was : "If all claims for pen sions for the war of the rebellion should bo adjudicated within the soyon years period terminating Juno 30th , 1888 , and at the end of that period survivors of the Moxicin war and widows shall bo pensioned , what will bo the sum required to pay pensions during the next twenty-five years ? " The reply puts the entire sum at § 0,347,051 , n03of , which $51,921,010 is alloted to Mexican war claimants. The annual requirements begin with 302,000,000 for 1881 , and row grad ually less until in 1000 , the last year , when the stimatcd sum required is $ L',000,000. : ! CAPITAL NOTES.
