o'clock at night ; had cloaod up his saloon
about that tlmo , and in company will

wanted to conceal something ; also , re
membered Thompson saying , when it was
iropoaod to lay the girl on the bed , that
aho was drunk as a tick and that there
was nothing else the mutter with her.
Witness \raa afterwards cross-examined
ay Mr. Shields , but with no material ad
lition to his evidence. Witness thought
ihat they were in tlio house altogether
about five minutes ; remembered seeing
some ono run to the window and throw
) ut the burning clothes ; thought it was
Thompson.
W. n. Wilson , a colored man living
next door , was put upon the witness
stand and testified to the circumstances
> f the discovery of the fire. Witness
irst wont out of the door and seeing the
lames rushed back into the house and
Iroasod himself. When witness went in-
o the house the girl Nottio lloward was ;
ying on the floor midway between the
rout and back rooms. Thompson told
nc that the girl had [ tipped over the
amp while in bed and sot herself on fire
, nd that she had boon drunk that night.
'English Liz" appeared greatly moved
> nd kept saying "Oh , she's dying ! "

lad relapsed into nnconaciouanoaa.
'hompaon kept saying she was only
.runk and ought to bo lot alone ; did not
oo the lamp overturned.
Jacob Peterson , the companion of

iod subatanclally as Ballo. Had known
'English Liz" and Nottio Howard for
lovorol months ; wont into the houao and
ound the girl Nottio sitting on the bed ,

i pall of water and throw upon the burn-
ig girl ; uftor witness had extinguished

oft with Ballo and Haulngor.
S. F. Haoaingor then test Hied exactly
s the other two , Ballo and Peterson.
Mr. Joe Hamill , of the Times , then
ostifiod. Witness said that on Docem-
icr 1 ( Monday ) , in company with A , J.
[ ondrick , of thn Dispatch , ho had visited - .
lie dying girl for the purpose of getting
tor to inako a statement as to how the
rime was committed. Witness wont up
o the bedside of Nettle lloward and
lid : "Nottio , do you recognize mol"
ho oaid , "No , 1 do not. " Witness than
eked her , "Who wan it that burned
oul" Nottio said , "Somo ono. " Wlt-
icss Haid , "WhoV" Nottio Bald.'Thomp-
ion , " in a distinctly audible , though
husky , whisper lone. Witness then
lakod her if "English Liz" had anything
o do trith the burning. Thoglrlropllod ,
'Yes , oho poured oil over mo. " Witless -
loss asked , "What did Thompson
lo ? " "Ho lit the match and act mo on
ire , " auid the girl. Witnesses said that
the girl then sunk back on her pillow
and said she didn't care lo Bay anything
norc. " The girl appeared to bo perfect-
y conscious and there was no Incoher
ence in her talk.
Nellie Fuller , tlio woman who attend
ed Nottio Howard , during her illness ,
ras the next witness. She snid tnat shn
md known the dead girl about four years
Witness described the manner of her go.
tig Into the house and discovering
hat the lloward girl was in jlamcs. I lor
eatimony developed no point of apodal
ntornst. Thompson had gone up to the
lodaido of Notlio lloward early Saturday
naming , after the fire had boon oxtin-
juishud , and had said : "Nottio , can you
iver forgive the man who
> urnt you ? " Notlio paid , "No ,
' 11 Dover glvo you away. "
Witness was then questioned with re
gard to the interview of Mr. llnmil with
ho dying girl , when she made the aUto
nout criminating Thompson and "Eng <
ish Liz , " Her tonlimony was a sub
stantial verification of Mr. Haiml's testi-
noiiy. She had boon in the same room
Ltid heard the whole thing. She
jeliovod that the girl Nottio lloward was
wfootly conscious when she made the
itatouiont. WitnoBs said that both bo-
ere and after this inter via fr the girl hat
refused to say anything about the occur
ronoo. In fact she haa hardly been In i
o million lo make an inlolligont state
raent boforr.
Her testimony developed no point o
pocittlintoroat. Thompson had gone to Ih
bedside of Notlio Howard early Saturday
morning , after the fire had bnen uxliu
guished and ho had Bald , "Nottio , cat
you over forgive tbo man who burncc
you1 ! Nottio said , "No , I'll uever giv
you away. "
Witness waa then questioned with regard
gard to the Interview of Mr. Hamill will
the dying girl , when she made the state
ineiit crltuin llug Thompson nnd "Kng
lish LJ2 " Her testimony was a substan
tial vorllioition of Mr. lUmill's tustiniony
She had been in the aatno roou
and hoard the whole thing. Sh
believed that the girl Nuttio Howard w
perfectly oonscioca when eho made th
otutumunt. Witness said tlut both bufor
and after this Interview the girl bad re
fused to say anything about the ooour
ronceIn fact Bho had hardly boon in a
condition to make an intelligent state
ment boforo. . . . ,
Mary Elaton and Nottio Hoach , who
were in the room adjacent to the ono in
which Nottio Howard waa lying when she
rnado the Btatomonl of the crime to Mr.
Hamill , testified. Both had hoard the
statements implicating "English Liz" and
Thompson. Their tosllmony was sub-
alanlially Iho same on this point , as that
of the two preceding witnesses , Inas
much , however , as they worn not close to
Iho bedside when aho made the statement
and could not hear so distinctly , the tes
timony of Mary Ehton and Nolllo Hoach
waa hardly as explicit.
' A roccBS was taken until 2 p. m , when
the testimony was resumed.
THE MMP AM > OlOTIIER
were exhibited before the jury , nnd it
wna shown that the lamp hr.d boon found
with the top nnd burner screwed off and
lying on the lloor. The conclusion
reached was that if the girl had reached
over nnd accidentally pulled over the
lamp upon herself , the top would have
been fond broken off , or if the lamp had
exploded , it would have bcon wrenched
oil' . On the contrary the lamp indicated
that no such process had taken place , tu
Hint the top nnd burner had boon un
screwed by some ono.
AITKKNOON SESSION.

police whistle blowing about 1 o'clock in

English Liz and Thompson further said
.hoy were awake when the fire broke
out. Thompson had on his pantaloons
md Liz won wearing a Molhor Itubbard.
[ 'hoy said Iho quarrel aroao ulnut n
oldior.
On cross-examination by Mr. Shields ,
Thompson when ho waa arrested sat down
in the bed whore the dead woman was
ying and ho asked her , "Do you know
mo ? ' ' Nottio Howard said , 'Who are
you , John ? " Ho replied , "Yoa. " Thomp-
on then naked her , "Did I do any tiling
0 you ? " and the woman shook her hoad.
'hompaoa then askok her , "Who did do
hia ? " nnd Noltio Howard said , "J don't
' '
enow.
Marshal Oummings , the next witness ,
aid ho know nothing of the accident
ntil Iho follnwfng morning. Ho hoard
ihorlly afterwards that Mart Connolly

NEBRASKA CONSPIRATORS.
Ashby , GriHS , Wheeler , Parker and
Barnes Indicted
For CoiiBplrltiK to Dcfr/unl die U , S In
tlicOtoo Land Hftlcs.
The indlctmonto founded upon alleged
frauds in the sale of the Otoo reservation
lands , retnrnod on Tuesday evening
were made public yesterday. Thoao pre
sentments were returned against N , K ,
Grlggs , Col. Ashby , H. W. Parker , F.
M. Barnes and L. E. Wheeler , all of
Beatrice. The indictments charge these
defendants with conspiracy to defraud
the United States government in its sale
of the lands belonging to the Otoo tribe
of Indians and situate in Gage csunly
in this state.
l rom the testimony adduced in th
grand jury room upon which Iheso indict
moula nero founded , il appears thai
there wore two kinds of fraud committed
The first was the changing of the bids nl
the time nnd place of the sale. A bidder
dor would oiler five dollars or moro per
aero , as the case might be , and
after the figure ) for that sold
quarter were placed upon records of land
purchased , they would bo lowered nt thi
pleasure of the clerk or whoever wna in
charge of the booka. The second , and
what is considered the grossest fraud wa
the bidding off of these lands at the firs
sale in May , 1883 , when the purchaser
had no intention of paying out on it or
complying with the law.
It is satd that evidence was adduced
before the grand jury to the effect that a
society of about sovonty-fivo citizens of
CJago county was organized to prevent
actual Bottlers from buying those lando.
Their policy nt the first sale was to bid
; hem up bayond the price Hint bona fide
purchasnrs could afford to pay. The
ands would then bo struck oil to them
and they would fall to mnko their entries.
The olFect of thia proceeding would
30 to throw the land upon the
market a second timo. At the second
Bale not nearly BO many bidders would bo
present , and they could got the land nt
icarly their own prices. It is claimed
hat so extensively waa Ihia. fraud car
led on that ever ouo-half of the rpserva
ion was sold n second time. It is said
his society had its officers , and was na
iomplotoly organized aa it was posai-
> lo for such an organization to
)0. , Its head men were nt
ho December sales blue ribbons , while
those of the others were rod. The pur.
lose those Insignia served was to enable
ho members of the society to toll when
hey were bidding against their follow
members.
The indictments against these do-
endants allege generally the charge of
conspiracy , and then sot up the particn-
ar facia. Quo of the particular acts
complained of against Barnes in the con-
piracy was hiring n third party not to
) id on a quarter which ho had
entered in May and not taken ,
t appears that at the first sale
10 offered 8110 per acre for a quarter and
jolng the highest bidder It was knocked
( T to him. Ho failed to pay the one-
uarler of Iho purchase price within
ilnoty days after aa required by law , and
unquestionably forfeiled his righl. In
ho meantime , however , ho had made
valuable Improvement upon it. At the
imo.of . Iho December solo , it ls > lleged ho
mid to hia former competitor § 100 not to
> id upon this ono hundred and nixty
cros.
One of the particular nets charged
gainst Parker is auctioneering oil'n
uartor-soction of land to enable the
uotionoor tu bid upon it , and being put
p for sale no ono bid upon it but him.
The qraud jury has boon
t work for nparly two weeks and arrived
t it ? conclusion only after n long and
ivcarisomo struggle. The parties Indicted
ro well known in this stale. Col. Ashby

ickot in thia ' fall s campaign , and is
nown throughout Nebraska In a profoa-
lonal capacity , being an attorney at
aw. Mr. N. K. Griggs was at ona time
Jnitod States consul to Chemnitz , in
jormany , and at ono tlmo speaker of the
louse of the Nebraska legislature. Mr.
'arkor at the time of these sales waa the
eg is tor of tbo land oflico at Beatricebut
ma since been auccoedcd by Hugh J.

'ears storo-koopor at the agency there ,
nd la the founder of the village of

didn't appear to have understood the
racket.
When they trailed elowly into Mayor
Edson's room Adolf said bo came to got
married bo did not say ho wanted to do
it. Ho looked as vivacious about it as a
plate of cold stow , but ho doggedly kept
to hia declaration of purpose. Mits
Mina were tbo expression of a woman
whoso trunks had been kept by her
boarding house keeper. It wae evident
that Landsborg had been courting her
brother nnd not herself.
"Will you take this man for your hus
band ) " asked the mayor , after ho had got
Adolf's sluggish consent.
She didn't equirm , or blush , or hang
her head , or pout or twitch her eyes. A
sort of I-wonder-how-long-cho'8'gQing-to-
koop-thom-trunks expression stole ever
her granite phyaiog , nnd she mut
tered :
"I suppose I must. "
This wfta where the brother alia hg !
two friends got in their work. They
pleaded and coaxed her to say "yes , "
But she didn't Mayor Edson got in his
work , too , nnd refused to finish the
melancholy orglo. Next ho wont back
to his desk nnd wout ou signing payrolls
As the funeral paradu struck Iho
rotunda on the way out Adolf awoke to
the honors of his situatiou. Ho had
consented to marry her ,
"But she didn't marry mo , " lie said to
his friends. " 1 have n wife , but aho
hasn't a husband. "
Poor Adolu becimo tremulous when ho
thought of hia paradoxical status , ant
nway they wont again slowly out of the
north yestibulo.
The brother and his friends hold
council of state in the park , and then
Iho five mourners wont up stairs again
and found Judge Nohrbas in the city
court chambers. There was no hitch
this time , nnd no haste either. The
gloomy bridal form was gone through
with. Not a word of congratulation wan
uttered , not n kiss bestowed or taken ,
but the line marched ulowly out of the
building nnd wna noon lost iu n crowd.
