Sheriff Herbert brought Joel J. Wilson ,

Justice llogcra. Cicero Jollorson waived
examination and said that ho desired to
make a voluntary atitamcnt under oath.
Ho was sworn and freely tostiGod in the
presence of a largo audionci.
My name ia Cicero B. Jel orson , nro
25 years old the 15th day of this month.
[ reside in Carroll county Town ; formerly
resided iu Audubon county
Was acquainted with
Qiram Jollorson , ho was my father. The
ast time I aaw him -was on Friday night ,
; ho 25th. I aaw him under circum-
stancoa of murder. J. J. Wilson anl
John A. Smyth , wore the loading ones
who committed the murder. Wilson ,
Smyth and myself are the ones who did
t. Wo left the residence of J. J. Wil
son , in Carroll county , about 8 o'clock
? riday evening. Smyth roda' his own
horse , and Wilaon and I rode Wihon's
lorses. Wo tied our horaos to trooa
a few roda northeast of the house. Wo
stopped thoroand liid our plans how wo
should proceed. Wilson took the
rope which ho had brought and
Smyth and Wilson bunted thodoor opju ,
all wont inside. They wont to
the bed and pulled father oat. Father
said , "Cicero , is that you ? " Nobody
answered. Mother said , "No , it ii ) tint
Tohn Smyth. " They brought him to
.ho front room and chocked and smoth
ered him , and took the rope out of my
lands and put it on tathor'u uock. Fath
er begged of ua not to hurt him. Wo
md the rope on him am ? started out
doors with him and went dragging him
along by the uock. I had hold of the
end of the rope and Smyth and Wilson
w ore behind. Aa wo were dragging htm
along pa said , "Don't John , djn't hurt
mo ao. " Wilaon stopped and tightened
.ho rope and John and I pulled him
along. When wo got to the tree Smyth
brow ono end of the rope over
a limb and I helped pull father up , Wil-
on taking hold and lifting the body un-
.il wo got it clear from the ground.
Vhen wo got him up wo tied hia hands
> ohind him , and wound the rope around
lis body , but I don't ' know just ho\v. 1
hink he was about dead then , as ho
only kicked once or twice. After wo
got him UD Wilaon toro father's shirt
open and tied it ever his head. The
hirt was the only clothing ho had on.
Ventood around a few minutes and
Smith and Wilson put on their overcoats
nd wo untied our horses , and mounted
ihem and rorto ofT.
Wo arrived at Wilson's , ten minutes
> est four , Saturdiy morning. It was
uitr daylight. Wo murdered father
bout midnight. Wo took handkerchief *
nd cut holes in them for the ryes and
ness , and wore them over our faces for
nasks. I throw mine into the atovo and
mrned it after I got homo. Wihon
> oughttho rope at Cedar JUapids ono
veok ago last Saturday , that wo UHjd to
mng father with. They had boon talking
o mo about hanging fathqr for about a
week or ten days , but I objected and did
ot want to help do it. Symth came to
Vilaon'sFridiy morning and wo agreed
o go that night.They told mo they would
nako away with mo after they got back
liat night if 1 did not go along with
liem and help them. John Symth said
wo had bettor go that night , as it was
aik and the roads were good and wo
ould got back before morning. I told
icm wo would got into trouble and get
rrostod , but they said wo [ could "go and
at back before daylight , and go to
work in the morning as usual and none
no would mistrust us. I wont against
ny will , but told them I would go , and
[ toy made arrangements where to meet ,
nd about what time. There was no
ghtat John.s homo when wo passed ,
nd John said that ho and his wife nnd a
lircd hand went to bed ca ly , and after
ho others were atloop , ho got up and
eft. None of ua had any arms that I
enow of. They told mo not toll any-
liing but to deny everything Wilaon
was the author of the wholobusinoss. He
aid ho was the man that wai doing if.
lis testimony coincides exactly with that
f Mrs , Jefferson at the inquest , relative
o the scone on the night of the murder ,
Everything about the place shows that
/icero has told the exact truth. There
an bo no mistake about , the guilt of the
larties in custody. Justice Rogers hold

faro on any convoyanuo throughout the
United Statci when passengers are unable
to secure a scat.
WASHIMITO.V , April 28. Mr.Cullom ,
From thocimmitteo on railroadsreported
the original bill for the railroad commis
sion to regulate the intor-stato com
merce. Cullom stated the bill was in-
: endcd as a aubatituto to several bills re
nting to the nauio bubjoct heretofore in-
.reduced. Other bill veto indolinitoly
icistponod. The bills was"rcported and
placed on the calendar.
A bill wnsg passed to consolidate the
> urcau of military justice and corps the
udgo advocate of the army.
The chair laid before the senate the un
finished business of Friday.boing the cat-
lo disease bill. Mention to commit the
) ill 10 the committee 'on agriculture ,
est ; yeas 13 , nays 30.
Coke moved to oust the Texas fever ,
ao far as the bill is concerned , in trans-
lortation of cattle to market. Thirty per
cent of the cattle coming to Chicago liut
year had been Toxaa cattle. The testi
mony from Chicago was that there was
10 disease among them , The amend
ment was agreed to.
Plumb withdraw the amendment in
creasing the appropriation for the pur
poses of the bill from § 250,000 to $50-
WO. Morgan opposed the passage
of the bill , : u the senate hid , of
ate , become the mere sounding 'board of
lublic calamity and legislation had at-
.cmpted to override the constitution.
Morgan moved to strike out the clause
authorizing payment for slaughtered cat' '
tic. Bock was willing to authorize the
examination as to the cattle disease but
vas unwilling to give power for indis
criminate slaughter and to give the op-
lortunity for widespread of fraud.
Many of the largoat cattle owners of the
northwestern territories , ho said , were
broign corporations. It was no slander
o say in many instances they sent their
own representatives to the legislature. It
would not do to givj those territorial
egislatures power to condemn cattle by
wholesale and pay the damages out of
money of the United States.
Williams remarked , not ono in twenty
lords in the northeast belonged to for
eigners. Plumb Eaid ho had prepared
an amendment nhuh would , to some ox-
tint , remove Morgan's ' objection. This
amendment was to strike out , altogether ,
ho rnferencn to the slaughter of animals ;
agreed to. Bayard thought the purpoao
of the bill would bo now fulfilled by unrip
propriation of SSO.OOOiiistjad of$250,000
> o allowed by the house. Plumb had no
oubt that the appropriation might now
) orcduced , but not by so much as Bay-
rd proposed. Plumb moved to make the
ppropriation $150,000.
Bayard ehar.ict jrizcd the bill as notti-
ig more than an illustration of the prin
iplos of socialism that was creeping into
very branch of our government. With
its prospect our most excellent cow boy
onld ba had foa $3 a day. Undoubtedly
10 associated preas would send broad-
ast over the country the eloquent re-
larks of the senator from Delaware
[ about the 'ttrict
iayard ) construe-
ons. Cattle mnn west were watching
10 members of this body , especially the
andidates for the presidency , and there
ore the senators lia-1 better bo a little-
aroful how they rodnced the salaries of
owboys , Morgan's amendment was not
jrood to ,
Miller ( Ciila ) submitted , as an amend-
nent , the substaaco uf the bill heretofore
n traduced by the government finally
ito the hands of the strong under the
rotoxt ot protecting the weak. How ,
o asked , could senators draw diatinit-
on botwoin rewarding men for loss or
cknosij of a cow and loss or sickness of
father , a son or wife. There had been
time when ' 'strict construction" and
'state rights" rang upon tbo cars of
36 northern people as synonymous for
IB perpetuation of slavery. But
iivery had KOIIO , thank Gad , wniln noc-
ssity for local aclf-govornmont and state
ights continued to exist and in the face
f a bill Ilk o this was nioro and more
mniftst , and whether hoard iu the
enato chamber or nut , it would bahoard
utsido.
ISayurd'a motion to reduce the appro
bation to $50,000 was disagreed to.
Plumb's amendment , making the
mount $150,000 was agreed to.
On motion , Harris" amendment was
greed to , confining the operations of the
nil tn cattle from which there was ( Inn
er of ditoaso spreading from one state to
nother.
Morgan moved to fix . maximum
ompens&tion for inspector ! under a bill

Mr llowott , of Now York , rising ns
question of jmvolego , said that Friday
last ho made n statement that the secretary -
tary of the navy had not complied fa
the law which required hint to cover into
the treasury the not proceeds of the sale
of condemned vessels. This statement
had boon controverted. Ho had boon
subjected to very considerable criticism.
IJo road the section of law which con
tained the requirements , nnd loiter from
ttio tri-aaurer stating that the money had
boon dopcsitod by the nocrolary of the
navy to the credit of his special account ,
but had not boon covered into thn Iron ,
ury , though $200,000 , deposited April
18th. 1881 , was now being covered in
The money had not boon covered into
the treasury but deposited with the
treasurer , to the credit of the secrotar )
of the navy and subject to his check. He
could have tikon the whole of it at miy
time on his mure check , without n unich-
or. The secretary had exorcised a wise
discretion by depositing the money with
A\v treasurer r.xthur than with a private
: > .tnkor ; yet it was not in the treasury at
the law intended. Ho hiul felt some-
ivhat humiliated when the gentleman
'rout Illinois ( Cannon ) had brought to his
lotico the fuel that in the appendix to
, ho clay's report thoio was a statement
.hat moro money h.id boon dopoiitod with
he treasurer , lie had gone to ovcry
olhcor in the treasury who had accounts
of money covered into the treasury.
L'hoy had told hat they it Imd not been
covered in. lie had neb gone to
ho treasurer , for the reason that that
otlicor did not keep ouch accounts. If
10 were at fault , that ho had not yotio to
the tr.'nsuror , it was bucauso the truaa-
ircr was not the proper person to go to.
A few days ngo § 20,000 had been directed -
od to bo covered into the treasury , but
, ho secretary of the treasury wrote him
Saturday last that it hud not been done
So that up to the present moment not
a dollar has been covered in. Ho
charged the law had not boon complied
vitli. Ho imputed it was not the inton-
ion on the part of the secretary to do
any dishonest or dishonorable thing. So
ar as ho has observed tbo ndminis'ra-
ion of the secretary of the navy had
) een most creditable. The whole tone of
orvioo had been raised , but the issue was
whether a great oflicer of the govern
ment had obeyed the clear command
of the lawa. lip asserted tl-.g ( secretary
tad not. Calkins defended the secro-
ary's action and argued that the pro-
ision of the law had not been stated ,
hat the law required the not prcoods
overed into the treasury. Che no1 ; pro-
cods could not bo obtained until all cx-
lodituros had been paid for , and this had
lot yet boon done. His del berate judg-
nont was , that a very candi I man would
ay , that Hewitt's performance this
norning was tmbtorfugo. Last Friday
ho gentleman had deliberately given the
louao and country to understand that the
ecretory of the navy was ili > honest and
orrupt , for what could bo lore corrupt
him that a great public dicer ( should
aku the people's money a' I aot turn it
nto the treasury until ? f u < the political
election. Ho ( CallM * ) know
omo gentlemen were BO
coimluted that instead of deliberately
walking up aud attacking a man fairly ,
hey sprang from an alloy on a dark
light , with the assassins dogger in their
land. No man who held a position
which the gentleman from Now York oc-
upitd ought to attack a man * indirectly ,
f he did not make a direct charge , com
mon decency and common honcaty ought
.3 induce him to keep his mouth closed.
Hewitt declined tn reply to Calkin's
> oisonalr < marks. That was not in his
mo. Ho insinuated nothing but ho
hargod that the provisions of the
tatuto had not been complied vrith , If
10 had done loss than to state the facts
10 would fail in his duty as a repro-
entativo.
The house then went into n committee
f the whole and proceeded in the conaid-
iration of the District of Columbia free
> ridge bill , which was laid aside with a
avorablo recommendation.
1'nti next bill was ono appropriating
> 500,000 for the completion of the sew-
rage system of the District , but with-
ut notion the committee rose.
The free bridge bill was then roconi-
nitted and the house took a recess until
o'clock. The evening session will bo
or the dnbato of the tariff bill.
A very small attendance at the evening
ORsion. Wolfotd made nn earnest ap-
eal in favor of the tarilf bill , and pictur-
d the beneficial results which would fol-
ow its passage. The Morrison bill was
ounded on eternal principle and right ,
nd would bo hailed by future genera-
ions as a liai Linger of freedom in its pur-
st sense. Storm opposed the bill. It
was merely an agitation for the sake of
Citation. bocaiii > n the mnjjrity on the

CHIOAOO April 28. The newsboys nnd
boot blacks of the city in formcnt over
the proposition by Mayor Harrison to
require n nominal license- fee from them
n order to bring thorn nudor police re
gulation more perfectly. The boys nro
elated nt this prospect of being able to
wear white mctnl badges , nnd are howl
ing for a license. There is a class of va
grant bootblacks who wander from city
to city , who have boon dubbed "pickora"
by the regular boys , and the latter have
raised n cry ngainst thorn similar to Den
nis Koarnoy'rt ahibboloth ngainst the
Chinese , or grown workmen have raised
against pauper labor in Europe. The
Daily News , is the only two cent morn
ing paper which receives the associated
press dispatches , nnd which has an ox-
tonaivo circulation through the boyn of
the bolter class , who live nt homo and
make upending money by working
up regular routes. Those little
gentlemen would not consent to bo tick
otcd with n badge , aud nro protesting
ngainst the licence scheme. The News
opposes it on the ground that its propo
sition is led by larger boys who want to
monopolize the business and shut out
smaller and poorer boys , to whom oven a
nominal license fei > would provo an un
surmountable obstacle. Thin causes the
tumult. To-night about 500 gamins nro
parading the strooU with drums , torches
uid transparencies , bearing such mottoes
"Hurrah for our Mayor , " "wo want li-
: onso , " "tho pikers must go , " "we'll
iown the Daily Now * , " "there's only ono
