I'mmn Straesbergor was quite n well known
actress In 'Friico five years 1130. Slio had
bcon on tha stage there nbout ten years , nnd
in early lifo married n man named Cook , from
whom she obtained n divorce. Four years
ngo she married n young man named William
W. Kichnrds. The couple did not sso 'very
mud'of each other , nnd when Mrs. Iticbnids
cnmo to Now York in the summer of 1883 ho
waa nlono. Bha joined n theatrical com
pany tthnt was going to Cuba. She
had but few acquaintances in this city ,
and among them was Mrs. Gottormnn ,
whoso husband Is n denier in vnnillnboansind

ust , 1683 , Mrs. Richards brought n mull bj\
nnd pn3kaga to Mra. Gottennau and aked
lisr to taku care of thorn until nho returned
f i om Cuba , aho expected to bo backju throe
mouths. Mrs , Gotterman eaya eho enid nuth-
lognbout what wan in the box or package.
The next intelligence Mra , Gottermnu had of
Mra. Kichnrds was the news of her death ,
which she received In July , 1834. Then she
thought ehowould see what wna in the pack
age , When sbo opened them she was sur
prised. In the box was S7.COO worth of Uni
ted States bonds nnd about $2,500 worth of j aw-
dry. The package contained bank books nnd
moro jewelry trhich brought the total valua
: > f the treasure to nbout 8-5OOi ) . Mrs , Got-
tormandidnot know of the existence of Mr.
Richards , who was then in charge. She hired
lawyer , Peter B. Vcrmllyaa , who looked up
the dead woman' * heirs. Last December , 3d ,
lie found Richards at Jacksonville , Illinois ,
nnd informed him of bis wife's death andpor-
sonnl property ehe had left. Richards says
tbo Inwycr offered to settle up the ostn-o upon
the bins thnt , should it realize S20.000 ho
should receive S7.000 counsel fee and § 2,000
f r expenses , Richards did riot como to New
York until last February , when ho had nn
underatindlng with Vermilyen. He found his
wife had left n few hundred dollars wotth of
property in Not ? Jersey , so ho went them and
took out letters of administration. These
did not help bim any in New York , PO
under Vormolyei's advice , ho says , ho assigned
his claim to H. S. Church , of Troy , wh6 waste
to bring the formnl suit necessary to obtain
money from Mrs. GoUerman nnd then ho waste
to turn It over to Richards. Lawyer Colin
was Mrs. Gottermnn'a counsel. At the close
o the suit she eatd she received $1,700 for her
services nnd Colin n like amount. The re
mainder of the property waa turned over to
Church and Vermelyea. A few dnya ago
Richards brought suit against Vermelyea , al
leging he never received murathana fnw hun
dred dollars out of hii wife's ebtate , Vermel-
jen c'.nirns ho received nil that was due him
up to tha pfosent time. Judge Andrews ap
pointed a lawyer referee. The 825,000 left
by Mia. Richards was the result
of many years hoarding , nnd not ono of her
friends or relatives was a ware oi bis go od for
tune. In fact her friends in this city and
Cnlifornin got up subscriptions to help her
along while she was living here with her hus
band , working making artificial flowers for 3
par week. It was on account of her supposed
poverty that she probably hesitated nbout
telling the Indy to whom she confided her
treasure. She was always crying poverty and
tesorted to many curions expedients to excite
tbe sympathy o ! her friends and induce them
to give her some practical assistance. Even
bor husband had no idea of Mrs , Richard's
accumulations.

where Mrp. Lucille Yeeulto Dudley is being
tiied for assault on O'Donovnn Rossa was
again crowded to excasa to-day. When tbo
taking of testimony was continued Dr.
Charles E. Dennison , who dressed Roesa's
wounds , testified as to their location and
cbnrncter , This ended the case for the prose-
cation ,
The counsel for Mrs. Dudley then opened
the casa for the defense. Hn claimed that
Mm , Dudley bad assaulted Rosen not out of
personal ei/ito or to nvenga pmonal insult bat
because bo wna the cnnuy of her country.
The counsel ditcusaed the subject of Irhh
patriotism in outlining tbo line of testimony
for tlio defense , lie spoke of what he termed
Mra. Dudley's "physical infirmity.1 Ho
said ho would show that for several
ypars ehe had been subject to epileptic lit ) ,
lla would show that her mind had boon af
fected by those fits nnd that oho was not in
fact responsible for b r own conduct. The
counsel submitted a Lumber of letters from
Kaglish physicians Ii. various Institutions in
which she was co&fmed for treatment , eotting
forth the cluraeter cf her disease The de
ponents declared that Mra. Dudley waa not in
her right mind
Elizabeth S. Tonllus , n privuto teacher , who
rettidoa nt tho.satrio plao us Mra , Dadhy tes
tified that for several days previous to the
( hootingof Kcsja , the prisoner had acted In a
strange monuor. Sh * bad bundles of Rosaa'u
newapnperd containing reports ot the recent
e.xploslous in London , nnd in speaking to the
witness of Roesn Mrs , Dudley had alluded to
till advisability of ridding ] the unrth ot such
n man.
Dr. A. 1 * MncDonald , superintendent of
the asylum for the Insaiia on Wfird'a Island ,
taatlfud thnt ho was convinced that Mrs.
Dudley was suffering from chronia innnin ,
Mr * . Dudley had told the witness that there
were thrco men she had determined to punish
with death , nnd that Rosaa was the first on
her list.
Dr. William Harding gave similar teiti-
mony.
Mir. Dudley hero interrupted the prncSed-
ingi of the court by nodrcstlng Judge Gilvor-
elovo , Hhosaid : "Whether I was irrational
or not when I that Rossa I am perfectly sane
now , and with to testify in my own case , Tbo
case goes to tha jury now without their hav
ing benrd me. They will form nn entirely
erroneous impression of my motives nnd will
not know why I snot Rosia , The doctors
eald that I hid f aid that I had n mission when
they fhoitld luvo snld that I ha 1 nn inclina
tion. "
The judge said ebo had batter confer with
her counsel , nnd when tbo time came tbe
court would hear her. Mrs , DuJloy'd coun
sel aald that they found themnslves la n some'
what peculiar position They had been try
ing to prove that their client waa iniane. Sheen
on her part indited that she was not insane
at the time of the attack , and Insisted on her
right to go on Ilia stand and testify In her
own behalf. Tha counsel could not see how
they could do otherwise than cill her ns a
witness. It was finally ngreedthnt she should
bi called to the stand after recess.
After the recess Mrs. | Dudley'u lawyers tried
their boit to get her to forego her deteruilne-
tion of becoming n witneu. Shu perilsted in
her intentions , however , nnd at tha word
from the prosecuting counsel ebowalked
quickly to the witneis chair and was iworn.
Then she laid ; 'Gentlemen of the jury , I

arR'umonlB on this motion Thursday.
NEW YonK , Juno 30. The court room
where Mrs. Dudley is being tried for assault
upon Rosin was crowded to tullocation.
Counsel tor the defense claimed the prisoner
committed tbo assault not from personal mo
tives but love of her country , nnd also claimed
thnt Mrs , Dudley wns not n responsible
person ,
Several witnotsoa were examined among
whom were two experts nnd they testified to
the unsound conditiou of the prisoner's mind
Mrs. Dudl y here interrupted the proceed
ings by ntkmg permission of stntiuEC whether
or not she was rational then. "I nm lane , "
( ho continued , "and wish to testify. " It was
finally agreed to call her to the witness stand.
Mrs , Dudley made n short rtntement to the
jury iu which ebo s&ld eho , was actuated in
shooting Roesn solely by his threnta to com
mit wholesale murder of innocent women and

to await until called. It
will probably require nearly all of this
week to complete the appraisement.
And it may not bo completed this week.

probably bo the result of bringing in anew

creditora complain that the presant com

I'EDiaUEE OF THE TIIOnOUOHDUEDH ,
In connection with the sudden depar
ture of Loyal L. Smith , Fred Fuller and
F. 0. Moler , it might bo of Interest to
tbo readers of the BKB to give
a brief pcdigroo of the trio ,
Of course Interest centera In Smith and
hla history will ba given first. The son
of wealthy parents , Lo always had every
wish gratified and never knew what It
wns to labor and ha lived a life of luxury
and case. As a boy ho was regarded as
a true typo of "Young America" and
nothing tvns too rich for him. At the
acja of twenty-one ho came Into posses-
( ion of § 22,000 , left him by his deceased
father. With this cnag little fortune ho
started ont upon the ocean of life. His
sails wore trimmed , the saa won calm and
with n buoyant heart he seized the helm
of his little bark of fortune and set sill ,
no at oiiC3 began to specu
late and was tjullo tucccsiful ,
eo much so In factthat ho became Infatu
ated with the lifo of a Rambler , or ( aa
more modest people call il ) speculator.
lie bin often told the writer how he had
put up little- jobs In Boston to ileeca
people who thought they were sharper
than anybody eho and , taking him at his
word , he mutt have been a loud ono. A
few years ago ha embarked in the flour
and crain business hi Lowell , Maes , hiv
ing for a partner a gentleman of consid
erable means and Influence. Tbo wily
Smith manipulated the au'ilrs of the Urm
until he got a leverage upon his partner ,
when he raised bim BO high in tbo air
that It i doubtful if ho his got down
yet , After u tow more minor deals In
the east Smith came west to Chicago end
there began to operate on the board of
trade. Ho was always regard
ed s a most reckless speculator
and made some big deals. A few months
before coming to Omaha Smith said to a
friend of his that as soon as ho had
amassed $100,000 he would quit the mar
ket , go west , buy n ranch , stock It and
take Ufa easy. Ho made n few moro
deals on the market and found himself
the possessor ol § 110,000. This did not
satisfy him and ho concluded to double It
before leaving. A few weeks found his
roll dwindled down to § 10,000. But for-
tnno again smiled upon him and ho scon
had Increased his pllo to $00,000. Then
it was that tbo dry goods notion slruek
him and lie came to Omaha , bringing
with him $00,000. After remaining hero
a short tlrao ho telegraphed to Montreal ,
Canada , for
FUED. FCLLEIl , Tlill CA1UIRK ,
Now hero is a man upon
whom the devil looks and smiles ,
Thoao who have looked into
those cold , grey eyes , ovoishadovml
by heavy overhanging browr , could not
help but exclaim "that man Is n villlnn" .
Will , ho is n villhu and this Smith well
know whoa ho hired htm to como to
Omaha. But ho was just the kind of a
villian needed to cany out the plans
already laid by Smith.
It will bo remembered that about five
years ago the cishlor of the 0 , B. it Q.
railroad company left very suddenly ,
tiklngwlthhlmabout § 37,000. The at-
scondqng ashler of thoChlcsgoBurlington
Qulncy road and Fred Fuller , the cishlor
for L. L. Smith , are ono and the simo
person. Fuller resided la Montreal
about throe years , a. * the climate of the
United States was not congenial to his
gnod health. Smith had known Fuller
for years , and knew his man when
ho engaged him to help through
with thu scheme which hb boon
so successfully carried out. The state
ment , however , that Fuller was poverty
stricken when ho cimo to Omaha is not
true , as ho t/as tolerably well "fixed , "
having a balance o $8,000 , or § 10,000.
F. C. MOIES , THE MANAGKK.
Frank 0. Moles , the supposed man
ager of Smith's store , was a
resident of Brooklyn , and to
all appearances a gentleman
In every sense of the word. Bo waa re
garded as a straight forward , honorable
follow , and It Is generally believed that
ho was drawn Into the swindling Bchomo
through the hope of gain. Bo this as It
may , they era now stamped as "thron of
a kind" and are a big hand. They have
"raked in the pot" cashed their "chips"
and are now , In nil probability , enjoying
eolld comfort in Canada , where the strong
arm of the law of this country cannot
roach them , and In perfect safety they
laugh at defrauded creditora.
Smith's Failure Create8 a Sensation
in Chicago ,
Chicago Times , Juno 30tli.
The Times of yesterday conta'nod ' a
special telegram announcing the failure
of L. L Smith , a dry goods merchant of
Omaha , who abecondod after making an
assignment of his establishment to a man
named Cole , a stranger In that city. The
gentlemen referred to Is Mr. Cole , who
represents the firm of Horace B. Clailin
& Co. , of New iTork. A reporter for the
Times yesterday looked up some facts in
regard to tbo failure. L. L. Smith
was formerly of Chicago. Ho
lived for several years at the
Mattoaon house , where ho paid his billa
Regularly and waa well thought of. Ho
waa a sort of msn-abont-town , Indulging
now and then in a ' 'scalp" on the board
of trade , and again taking _ a hand in a
little mining speculation. "His habits
were temperate. About & year ago ha
struck It rich. Ho managed by fortunate
deals on the board of trade and ruining
' "gnans" to clear something like § 75,000.
When bo got this money together ho
placed § 00,000 of it aa a special deposit
In one of the city banks , taking a
certificate therefor. Then ho went
to Now York , visited several
loading houses , and said that ho was de
sirous of starting in a legitimate business ,
and that ho wanted a line of credit. Ho
was then unsuccessful in obtaining credit
there , and came back to this city , where
ho tvisitod several wholesale firms and
told the same story. Ho also said that
ho was desirous of going Into a general
business In Omaha on a largo scale. He
made no falsa pretenses , but said that ho
intended to ran a retail establishment ;
that ho had00,000in ; bank as a basis for
credit. IIo admitted that ho had been a
speculator and "kite-flier , " but insisted
that ho would only engage In legitimate
trade in the future. Ho brought good
references , and showed certificates of de
posit. Ho made J. V. Farewell & Co.'s '
wholoialo honso his headquarters , and
succeeded in getting on extensive line of
credit. Ho started in business in Omaha
about December last. At first ho pur
chased cautiously. Ho then started to
advertise , and then made rpeclal sales.
His nunnor of doing business was not
such as to win the confidence of some
of the houses herewith which he was dealIng -
Ing , and they held him well in chock. For
owliilo ho pild regularly and ditcountedlila
bills. About two months ago Inquiries
cirao from Now York and Philadelphia
as to the standing of L , L. Smith , of
Omaba. Ho Lad succeeded In getting
lines of credit there , ncd ho evidently
waa buying right and left , and very reck-
loisly. Every "drummer" In the dry
goods , notions , and upholstery trade and
similar lines of goods succeeded In sellIng -
Ing Smith largo lines within the past few
weeks at good prices and sixty days'
time in which to pay for goods , But the
ciiuh came at last , and Smith loft his
eastern and trcatctn creditors In the larch
( o a larf.o amount.
"The failure will proven grand steal , "
said a well known Chicago merchant to
tbo Times reporter. "It will be even
worse than the Uarwood affair , though
not on so grand a scale. You will find
that Smith owes moro than § 300,000 in
all. Yon will find that ho owes about
$80,000 in Philadelphia , § 40,000 in
Boston , nnd fully § 150,000 to loading
Now York Bouses. In Chicago ho cer
tainly owes somewhere In the neighbor-
hold of § 00,000 , nnd ptrhnpa
more , Ho cinght the Farwells
and A. S. Gage & company for a big
amount. Ho dapod Mandel Brothers ,
Le Baron , Holt & Co. , 0. Jaffa & Pink-
us , Carson , Pitio , Scott & Co. , John H.
Walker & Co. , Burlock Brother * , and
God knows who ho didn't catch. Wo
didn't like his ttylo , but ho never aiked
us to sell him , and so wo wera not
caught. His stock ho sold to Olaflin &
Co. before ho left Omaha , bat I hardly
think the ealo will hold water. The Far-
well * , Oage , and other creditors attached
to-day.
Mr , Chumasoro , of the firm of J. Y.
Farwell & Co , said to the reporter that
Smith owed the house 510,000 , wlcbh
was the limit cf his credit. Ho had al
ways paid his bills bsforo they were due ,
and ho was regarded as t fair risk. There
were rumors about him a few wtoka ago ,
and the attorney of the housu went down ,
but Smith made such plausible state
ments that the attorney reported him
all right. When ho was in Chicago about
two weeks ago ho did not visit the Far-
well establishment , "
Ho owes Msirs. James H. Wnlkor &
Co. about § 1,300. Smith purchased
about § 3,000 north of goods of the honso
about tire weeks ago , but only about
§ 300 wera shipped on , the firm refusing
to send the zomnindor , BS it became sus
picious. Mr. Walker said that Smith
stopped buying h'rgoly in the woit some
time ago , but parchaajJ in the eaat on a
largo scale and in cuch n way ni to
load to the belief that ho did not In
tend to remain long In buslnoi ; .
The amount duo to Messrs. A. S. Gage
it Co. was placed at § 5.000 , which Mr.
Gage regarded as " * dead steal. " It was
stated that Smith owes Butlock Brothers
about § 000 , Mnndol Bros. § 2,000 ,
O. Jaffo & Pinkos about § 1,000. La
Baron , Holt & Co. § 1,300. There are a
number of other crodltots who will swell
Smith's total Indebtedness in this city to
upwards of § 00,000.

The Rev. Henry Ward Boechor ro-
cotuly made aoino remarks about the use
of tobacco in Plymouth church , prefacing
them with the statement that ho didtrt
propnto to preach , but to talk to
the yoitug men cf his congrega
tion. Ilia remarko were anent to the
last tyro versus of FJrat Corinthians , vl. :
"Know yo not that yonr body la the
temple of the Holy Ghost ? ' otc. Civi
lization , aatd Mr. Beooher , la a great
waster , and it was tea that which la most
precious , the brain and nerve , and this
glvca rlto to a great many ntlmnl that
men employ. It la not without reason
that moil fly to opium , hasheesh , or to
bacco , anything that exhausts , the
ncrro and brain force to a great
er extent than the dally cupply IB
weakening , and anything that prevents
aiich exhausting Is an economy. Stimuli
hold the nerve force fiom waohing , when
used in luiauto quantities , bat bavo an
tlfeet directly to the revorco If used in
largo puantltloB. Wo hardly dare say
these things to young people , for fear
that tboy will run into excess. Nobody
dares toll a young man. "If you will
drink wino , these are the conditions/
isn't in the temperance blblo.
Mr. Bceoher eald ho bad revised his
early opinions in regard to the use of
tclucco. Ho didn't bollevo anything VTOB
gained by a wholetalo denunciation of
tobacco , but ho would urge the young
men of bis chaige not to form the habit
of using It. "I am not Baying , " said be ,
"that tobacco will load to rum , and rum
to shoel. It lan't a good thlnp , especially
tor the younq. They don't coed it.
Bat If you do smoke , or If you cheese to

blo. There is a great choice in the se
lection. Man may bo justified in tmok-
ing , but charity hasn't got a mantle largo
enough to cover a man who uses bed to-
baccp. Mr. Boecher spoke at length ,
and in a severely critical way , of the dis
agreeable features of the use of tobacco ,
and urged young men to cultivate polite *
ness and avoid tbo dulling of the moral
sensibilities that often follows the nao of
stimulants , )
