I THE DAILY BEE TUESDAY DECEMBEE 23 1884. 5 All INTERESTING CHAPTER Taken From a Romantic Story of Real Life , A Talc or Tlirco Persons and Ihtco Cities. Saturday af tbrnoon in the United States district court a decree of divorce was granted to Mrs. Abblo Cooley from her hmbaud , William Oooloy. Back of this apparently uninteresting legal event is a history , Interesting and romantic in no small degree so romantic , In fact , that in chronicling In detail the history of the nfTilr a largo element of the extraordinary must enter into the story. It seems that in the year 1872 , at Vittsburg , PA , , William Cooley , then connected with the Pennsylvania railway company , married a young and handsome widow , Mrs. Abblo Rico. Among other effects that Mr. Oooloy fell heir to by this alliance was a pretty and precocious little girl , the daughter of Mrs. Rico by n former husband. Everything wont smoothly for some years , until Cooley , who has in his nature a dash of the gay Lothario , became criminally Involved with a young girl , a certain lloso More. To avoid scandal , vs soon as the criminal liaoon was discovered , Cooley determined to leave the scene of his troubles. Ac cordingly , without informing his wife of his intentions , ho came to Omaha She , howovorthoughainartlng under the Indig nity odored to her feelings and affection , determined to como to her husband and take him once more as her "only and own. " She joined him In this city , a re conciliation was affected and for ten years the couple lived together. During this period Cooley was in the employ of the Union Pacific railway. A dissolute , drunken rascal , the husband was contin ually ill-treating Ida wife and no largo share of happiness vouchsafed to the couple in their marital relations , In 1832 Mrs. Cooley placed her daughter tor , now blossoming into womanhood , in A convent at Salt Lake City , Utah. About this tlmo , also , she loft Cooley and took up her abode in the convent with the daughter , hoping by separation to secure that peace which lifu with her drunken husband had made impossible. Mr. Cooley , as soon as this phoso of affairs presented itself wont to the local courts and pro cured a divorce from his wife , on alleged grounds of Infidelity , claiming that she was living in open adultery with a Salt Lake man , ouo Ralph Brown. The wife being unable to appear and disprove the charges against her honor , the divorce was granted. Oouloy'a evidence , it is needless to say , was a fabric atlon from beginning to ond. A few months afterward in the summer of 1882 , Mrs. Cooley returned to Omaha , unaware , of course that she was a di vorced wife. As soon as she arrived in this citj , Oooloy called upon her , and with penitence profound , informed Mrs. Cooley of the divorce which ho had ob tained. Ho bogged her , in conclusion , to allow him to re-marry her and once moro enter with her , the "Colds of by monbal happiness. " She consented and 'tho two were once again made man and wife. wife.Soon Soon after this Mr. and Mrs. Cooly re turned from Omaha to Green River , Wyo. Hero Oooly feel into bad com pany. Ho entered upon a wild career of debauch and revelry. Heartoick and disgusted with her husband's course , Mrs. Cooly determined to leave him at once and ferovor. She came to Valley and took up her abode with friends. Hero , for the first time , she hoard the story of how her husband t- > secure a dl- vorce , had befouled her fair name and preferred against her baseless charges of criminality. Acting on advice , she at once appealed for a divorce , which was granted. Saturday , although the suit bus boon pending for well nigh a year and a half. The lady who takes the loading part In this realistic drama is intelligent and re fined. She has amassed a considerable fortune by careful saving and is now be yond all nojd of aid. She is determined to listen to no moro overtures from the faithless husband. It is understood that ho is now in the east , whore ho is engaged - gaged in railroad work.

The mystery which surrounded the nnco county horror , when first diicov- red , still remains unsolved , Occasion- lly , however , a bit of now evidence is rought to the surface and a ray of light rosaca the pathway of these who have ndortakon to thread the darkness en- eloping It. From Mr. Chauncoy Wiltsc , gentleman well known In this city , and war osldent ot Fullerton , in Nance ouuty , many facts additional to these icrotoforo published were obtained last ivoning. The motive which might have led the mnrdoror dr murderers to commit the rlmo have been investigated in all their illTeront bearings , Revenge , jealousy , oli-dofonso , robbery have all boon caste o ono side. The impression is constantly [ rowing , and in the minds of many iss reached conviction that ho murder was committed for hire , to > btain the inheritance which by iho Eug- ish law of descent would inevitably have jpou loft to the unfortunate Porcival or us hoirs. It is now definitely known hat this murdered man had an undo , Ja member of the English nobility whoso iimual income IS MOKE TIIAN , 50,000. Between the nobleman and the mur- Icred Porcival as next of kin is the lat er'a oldest brother , a victim of consump- ion and otherwise broken down In icalth. Who will inherit this uncle's iropcrty in the event of the death of iis two nephews is a subject now being nvcstigatod but upon which no informs- Ion as yet has boon obtained. Since the coroner's inquest many now trcumstances have been broupht to light which furnish the indisputable conclusion hat Furnival not only committed the rlrao but also had accessories. Not long go ono of Furnival's shoos was found ovorod with blood , and brain matter upposod to have issued from Perclval's sst gun-shot wound. The buttons , bnck- es , etc. , of his overalls , coat , and other lathing wore also discovered where ho tad burned them to destroy the evidence which otherwise would have boon loU gainst him. Only last week his slicker" or IlUDREll OVE1JCOAT WAS POUXD whore ho left it in the corn-field near fullerton the day after the murder , " 'his ' discovery does away with the lioory that Furnoval did not leave Nance onuty by rail a it was known that he ere a "slicker" into Fullerton and the manwho boarded the train had none. Another important piece of ovidonca as been laid bare by the discovery of a ard near where Balrd'a dead body was onnd. Across the corner of it written iy Furnoval were the words , "I will stay lore until to-morrow and see what my hances aro. " What their import waa is .ot definitely known but they point to ho irresistible conclusion of ouo or more ccompllces. Some two weeks ago an Englishman wearing a heavy buffalo coat catno to "allorton and played THE HOLE OF DETECTIVE. Ho said ho had known Furnoval and bat ho was Intimate with a girl whose whereabouts could bo learned from a nan named Butler , who lived between ? ullerton and Central City. He said If 10 could see Butler he wonld learn whore the girl is and from her find out where Furneval might be. Ho was di rected to his man but has not been seen since. It Is thought he came to look ifter Furnoval's property and got what information he could in his interest. The detective pretended to own a farm in 3tio of the southern Nebraska counties , but it Is stated upon good authority that suoh is not the case. The Edmonson boys and their farm band , who lived in the immediate vicinity of the murder , and who wore suspected , iavo silently stolen away. About six weeks ago the employe left and since : hon the brothers have sold their pro [ > orty and their whereabouts is now known ; o no one. Another party named Clark , thought to know tooj much about the murder , Is now kept under survollanco ind his every move guarded to prevent tils escape. The theory now is that Baird was first Murdered , then Porclval's wife , then her luaband , and last Mair , Furnival's part- aor. _ It is now thought that the doot to jho ) sitting room of Porcival'a house , WAS 1JROKKN IN IY HIMSELF. The theory is that coming homo from town about i > p. m , and not finding his wife in the kitchen ho broke open the sittlngroom door which was locked , in the excitement of the moment in tryIng - Ing to light the lamp scatteaod the con- : enta of the match box upon the floor. Joeing hb wife lying senseless npon the leer ho took the brandy bottle from the shelf and when ho saw she was dead dropped it upon floor and started for the itablo. After bringing out his pony into the yard ho was shot , the animal running down past Edmunson'a whoso reluctant testimony was that they saw a bridled tnd riderless horse run by their place .hat . night. All the surgeons who exam- nod tne body of the dead woman say that she waa not outraged but that she nas terribly beaten and gagged. Another suspicious circumstance Is the fact that the Edmounona did not hear the shots which killed Berclval. They lived inly a short distance away and were in the windward A lady who lived consid erably beyond them testified to hearing throe distinct shots on that night and at about the hour , it la thought , when Per cival came homo. The hunt for Furneval is by no moans jlvon up. All tbo avenues by which in formation might bo obtained concerning lilm are kept open and it is thought tc be only a matter of time when they wll all be brought to answer for their crimes , THE NEW PACKING HOUSE George II.

Councilman Bohm thought his salary hould bo raised to $ i2,000 , while Wood- woortb , in neat speech placed the cor- oct Ggnro at $1,500.

Mr. flascall mode a motion that the mooting bo declared in favor of having bo salaries of members of the city couu- U raised to $500. A long discussion allowed , and it waa finally decided that ho city dads must not go hereafter on a mailer salary than § 000. It was declared tbo aonso of the moot- ng that the oflico of city auditor ba cro- ttd , with special and defined duties. The matter of appointing two police ommlssionora waa next taken up , but nally dropped , as the proposition mot with decided opposition.

Their crime , as already pub lished in detail in these columns , is that of being interested in a plot to swindle the government by collecting larger areas of land than the laws of Nebraska per mit , and committing , to that end , the crima of porjury.

Yesterday morning Judge Dundy gave his instructions to the jury In the cele brated Lovejoy case , which for some weeks haa been pending ia the court. ? ho jury retired at 10:15 : and about six IOU.H later returned with a verdict gainst the defendants , finding that the ignatures to the bond are genuine and hat no changes of appreciable import- , nco were Made in the document. Fur- hermoro , the name of C. E. Lovojoy , n attesting witness , was a forgery , and hough tbo government had boon in- ormod of Lovejoy's diroloctlon , the wenty-nino bondsmen are held liable to ho government for the sum embezzled > y Lovejoy , $12,937 37. Other minor , nd special findings wore made which were .gainst . the dofounants , with the oxcep- ion of ono which concedes that dofon- lanta had endeavored to inform tbogov- rnmont of the existing rotten state of flairs in Lovejoy's transactions. Judge ) nndy will enter judgement this morn- ng unless some now phase of the matter > roonts itself. The fooling is general imong auch of the bondsmen an have at- ended the trial that further measures ought to bo taken to contest the docluiau. fho loss falls heavily upon a portion of ho signers of the bond , who are not in loaltion to meet with ease the liability which this verdict entails upon thorn.

Such goods , under the low regime , will bo traneferred directly rotn the vessel to the bonded sealed car , and will bo forwarded without delay tc Omaha , as the port of ontry. This will do away with long and vexatious delays attendant upon the holding of goods In ho New York custom house. This will make it possible for the goods to bo op iraisod and given into the hands of the iropor owners within 24 hours. The bill has now to pass the lower lonso of representatives before It can become - como a law.
