When the examination of Pierson wns
resumed before Commissioner BIHIngsly
yesterday morning , Messrs. Caldwclland
Lansing , attorneys for the defendant , ar
gued at length the question of jurisdic
tion. Mr. Uartlctl , the United States at
torney , was proceeding against the pris-
fionor , they said , under section 5,339 of
the revised statutes of llio United Slates ,
which provides for tlio prosecution of
offenses committed in places where the
United States hits exclusive jurisdiction.
As tlio grant by Iho legislature of Ne
braska to the federal government of the
land in Omaha on which the poslollico
building stands reserves to the state con
current jurisdiction , the prisoner's conn-
BC ! argued that the prosecution must fall ,
ns It dlil not como under the meaning of
tlio section quoted. Mr. iJartlctt replied
at length , afllrmlng his position , and
claiming that the concurrent jurisdiction
reserved by the stale was only lo the ex
tent of serving processes by state ollicors
on government premises in order that
they might not bo made a haven of ro-
Ing" by ollbudeis against state laws.
Commissioner Billingsly. at the conclu
sion of the argumelit , Halt ! that while tlio
point raised by Messrs , Lansing and Caldwell -
well was one to matters on which he had
doubts , bo should , In the interest of jus
tlce , overrule it , and order tlio examina
tion to proceed.
The lirst witness called was Frank
Sutton of Blair , who testified that ho was
sent to the penitentiary in 183:3 : for bur
glary , and while there mot tlio prisoner ,
John Pierson. In 1883 Piorson , ( hiding
that he had been a rounder in Omaha ,
nsked him If ho knew a woman there
named Anna Henry. Sutton said lie did ,
when Piorson inquired whether she had
over told him about liisPiorson's ( ) killiiif
] \ man Uioro , Sutton said she Had , and"
I'iorson then told him to bo careful not to
repeat it. lie asked mo , said the witness ,
not to give him awuv. 1 told Mr. Nobos
what Piorson had said , and soon after
wards t was put in tlio cell with him.
Ono night IMcrson asked mo if I had told
Nobcs about the matter , and I said no. I
asked him how ho came to kill the man ,
and ho said that ho was paid § 300 by
Jack Nugent for doing it. Piorson said
the man lie killed was Watson IJ. Smith ,
und that .Nugont's excuse for wan ting to
got rid of him was that ho was fighting
uio license law and lie was afraid the sa
loon men would notgct licenses. Nugent
told him where to lind Smith and how lo
kill him. After shooting Smith , Pierson
kud. ho wont through his pockets and
took what valuables ho had.
and then fired a shot out of
Smith's revolver and laid it by
the body to make it appear that ho killed
himself. I told Piorson that 119 ought to
toll Nobos tiboi,0 ; mrder , , ana then
i.i" , CCiii.scicncc wouldn 't trouble him. Ho
Said if I spoke about the matter to him
again ho would kill mo. Piorson at that
time was acting as if ho was badly
frightened , walking the floor , and talk
ing wildly in his sleep. Soon after this I
was put in another cell ut my own re
quest because I was afraid to remaim
with Pioison. Subsequently Picrnon toll !
mo that it was George Groome * titat did
the killing , while lie stoed'at the bottom
of the stairs , tirdomos and ho wcro
partners in Omaha , ho said , where they
were engaged in the business of "catch
ing chumps. "
On the cross-examination Sutton'c
memory was very bad. To every puzzling
question his answer was " 1 don't retnoin-
bor , " while his crimson face , and hesi
tating manner , led the disinterested spec
tators to the belief that ho was boatinp
about the bush. He said that ho first told
Nobos of Piorson's talk in 1883. and thai
Nobcs instructed him to find out more
about it. In pursuance of this he pump
ed Piorson , obtaining subsequently tin
information given on the direct oxamina
tion. In talking with Pierson about tin
murder Sutton said that the formei
told him ho would kill any mar
for 5300. Afterwards Pierson said IK
hadn't shot anybody. GroomOshad killec
the man while ho stood at the bottom o
the stairs. Pierson was put in the blacl
hole while Sutton was his ccllmato , but i
was for throwing down his tools and refusing
fusing to work. At least that was wha
Pierson said. Stilton swore that he wai
never ollored any reward or inducement
for deeming a confession from Piorson
anil lind only talked tlio matter of hi
testimony over with Attorney Bartlett
Ho acknowledged having told Fran !
Cnrbon of Blair and Charles Grocery o
Denver that ho was into rested in soourinj
a confession from Pierson , but ho mean
by that the punishment of a guilty man
When hold down closely by the pris
onor's counsel Sutton said that ho hai
lied to Piorson in order to extract a cou
fession. When 1 told him I had seen ;
piece in the paper about his killini
smith , of course It was a lie , Sutton said
My telling him I knew his girl , Ann
Honrv , was also a lio. The stalomon
that she hnd told mn ho had killed a nut
was another lio. When 1 said to Piersoi
that 1 hadn't ' told Nnbos what he said t
mo I got oil'another lie.
Warden Nobcs , of the penitentiary
was the docond witness. Ho said tin
Sutton had told him of Piorson's stale
niont , and ho hail u fictitious urticl
printed on n.illp , detailing I ho alleged ai
rest of Nugent and Groomes In the hope
that Piorson might bo induced to confer
In February , 1885 , Pit > n > on was brougl
into my ollico , the warden said , ami coi
fronted by Mr. Lambortson , whom I ii
troducod its a United States otllciiil. Mi
Lambertfion road Iho mnvMiapor slip t
him , and then wn both told aim that if Ii
know anything about the matter he ha
better toll It.
[ To the Court No , sir , nothing wt
( aid lo Piorson about Ids rights , or Hi
consequences of making H confession. ]
Continuing , Iho warden said : Picrso
said ho didn't know anything about tl
matter. Ho then asked Mr. Lamburtsn
to leave the room as ho wanted to tal
with mo alono. When Lamhortf-on hn :
gouoout Piorson said ho didn't know wli
lie was and didn't want to talk too free !
before him , Two days later Pieraon sci
tor in * and said that if wo had Nugoi
nnd Groomes looked up , and they hn
squealed , that ho might ns well say th :
Nugent hnd offered him money to ki
Smith , Piorson thnn offered to swc ;
to anything wo wanted provided v
would clear him. Lambortson told hi :
that in such a case ho would have to tr
a piotty straight story , and asked hi
how ho would describe the killing , 1
said that ho would &wnar that Nugt'i
gave Groomes the pistol to kill Smii
with , and to batisfy Liimberlson , describe
accurately the plan of the building , tl
rt , position of thu body , nature of the \voun
* * etc. .
Cross-oMimlnntlon-1 put Sutton in tl
cell with Pierson to lind out what thoi
was in the story of the murder. 1 don
know whether Sutton knew of thn Wn
i.on B. Smith murder at thai time or no
Two weeks afterward Sutlon soul for n
und said Pierson hail told him Nugci
had given him n pistol and $300 to kl
Smith ; liat ) he didn't know Smith , tu :
had killed him merely for the money ,
told Stilton .to get all the infornitltic
from Pierson ho could. I think I asked
him to draw a confession from Piorson.
The day wo had the latter In the ofllce wo
told him wo had Nugent and Groomes in
jail , nnd that It would bo best for him to
tell all ho know about it. We also told him
that It would bo bad for him if ho didn't.
Pierson acted at that time as though ho was
badly frightened. I told Sutton to say to
Pierson that if ho didn't tell what he
know ho would got himself info trouble.
At the afternoon cession Mr. Fred Nyc ,
of Omaha , was examined as lo nn inter
view hnd witli Pierson at the penitentiary
last fall , and his evidence was virtually
corroborative of that given by Sulton
uul Nobcs so far as the admissions made
jy Pierson were concerned. When the
evidence was all in Commissioner Bill-
ngsly held the prisoner to await the nc-
ion of the next federal grand jury , and
jound Stilton , Iho princioal witness , over
n the sum of $1,000.
The most important part of Mr. Nyo's
testimony was lolatlvoto the payment by
Nugent to Groomcs of $1500 about tlio
Limo of the Smith murder , Mr. Nye swear
ing that the money was handed over by
Nugent.

THE LATE PRINCE TORLONIA , |
A Roman Millionaire , Whoso Grandfather
Was n Poor Trench Peasant.
The Eccentricities of Torlonla'a Old
ARO Ills I'nsslon for Excavations
and Ancient Sculpture.
Anne Hampton Browstor , writing from
Rome to the Chicago News , says : Many
Incorrect stories arc told of the origin of
Prince Torlonin , who died lately in
Koine. Ho was ono of the greatest mil-
lionnrics of the world , inherited millions ,
earned millions and lived to a fine old
old ago 80. Ills grandfather was a poor
French peasant of Puydo Dome , who died
in abject poverty. His two sons , when
mcro boys , left alone in llio world , wan
dered up to Paris , driven there by hunger
in 11SO. Marino and Jean Torlony were
their names' , honest , thrifty young fel
lows , sure to succeed when once in the
center of business such as is found in a
great city. Little by little the } ' made a
small capital and began to furnish sup
plies to soldiers. In 1702 they came to
Home as guttlers in the army of Gen.
Mollis. Tlio elder brother , Marino , died
soon after. It was stormy political
weather everywhere. Homo also was in
a troubled .state. Ono night the French
consul at Home , Ugo Basbovillc , sent for
Jean Torlony. in whom he had great
confidence , and gave into his charge a
large .sack of gold consular funds for
Bahbovillo was afraid to keep it at the
consiilato.QThrcc days afterwards the un
lucky consul was assassinate' ! . ; thus Je.ui
Torlony was left in posses ? - > of a largo
capital , the origin of which only he and
the dead man know. Poor Bassovillo , by
the way , was made immortal by a great
Italian poet , Vinconzo Monti , who wrote
one of his finest poems on the murder in
Danlosquo verso.
Jean Torlouy opened a bank with the
consular money , but always kept tlio or
iginal sum in mind. So when the reign
of terror was over and imperial order es
tablished he paid tiio money to the em
peror. This simple act of honesty bore
compound interest. Napoleon opened n
largo account at Torlony's already prosperous -
porous bank. All of the financial busi
ness of the French rule in Italy went
through Torlony's ' hands , ami as no was
faithful and useful to Pius VII. in all his
troubles ho had also all the pontilic.il
patronage. Thus itvas the poor French
peasant became n rich Roman prince.
He had married boon after bo settled in
Home a clever , ambitious Koniiin woman
of llio mo//o cato or middle class. She
was of great service to him in many ways.
The inline Torlony was changed to Tor-
Ionia , and they took the social stand
money is sure to give ; their children as
they grow up married into ths oldest pa
pal piincelv families. The oldest son's
wife was a Princess Cliigi ; another daugh
ter-in-law was a Uusijolij Alcssandro.
who has lust died , married the beautiful
Princess Teresa Colonna ; a daughter of
Jean Torlonin was a Princess Orsini , and
her daughter is now the Princess Bar-
berini. Jean and Anna Torjoum

ml , Thackeray , cto. Jean Torlo'.ii

vas kept in a superb velvet-lined aatuccio
Of case. * 7hcn lie died ho left many
millions to his children. Alesandro in-
lorited the bank , and , like his father ,
undo money and entertained all tlio
grout personages who oamo to Home.
Tlio diamonds of Ids beautiful wife wcro
.ho wonder of the day. Some years ago
that beautiful woman fell into a hopeless
state of harmless insanity. Tli rv her
liusbaiid , who adored hcrj retired from
society and devoted aimself to his vari
ous anairs.Vhoii I first came to Homo ,
seventeen years ago , I used to see the
Princess Torlonin driving daily alone.
She was a handsome , tall woman , with n
very pale skin , dark hair , and superb
dark eyes. She gawd out of the cnr
riago windows always with an expression
of melancholy vacancy. She died about
fourteen years ngo.
The Prince and Princess Torlonia had
two children , both girls one an idiot ,
now dead. The other married thirteen
years ago ono of the sons of Prince Bor-
ghoso. Prince Torlonia's ono ruling desire -
sire was that the uamo Torlonia should
bo perpetuated. That ho had no son
was the one bitter disappointment of his
life. When his daughter married young
Prince Borgheso , Prince Torlonia stipu
lated that Ins son-in-law should take the
name of Torlonia nnd that no descendant
should over bear the Borgheso name. In
his will ho binds the name Torlonia with
the inonoy as far down the line of his de
scendants as the law allows. Ho leaves
50,000,000 francs lo Ids daughlor , 100,000
francs a year to his son-in-law , gives
moderate legacies lo his relalions , pro
vides munilicenlly for his many great
charities his hospilals , asylums , etc.
oidoring them to bo closed immediately ,
however , if any public authorities inter
feres with them ; then leaves the vast re
mainder of liis estate , the amount oi
which it is impossible to estimate , to his
grandchildren and their children , whose
names must always bo Torlonia.
Prince Torlonia became very eccentric
as lip advanced in years. Ho wore old-
fashioned and rather shabby clothes , IILs
large mantle or cloak which was thrown
over his shoulders in winter lie had if
on the day ho died was bought in Lvons
in 18HO. But his underclothing was"ex -
qnisltely line , his shirts were mmle ol
batiste , and the shirt buttons wcro superl
solitaire diamonds.
Prince Torlonia had a passion for cxca1
valions and for ancient sciilpluro. Wher
ever there was n tradition of an ancient
villa existing ho bought the land and had
the ground boarched for its antiquities
It was thus ho formed the marvelous mil
Houm in the Lungaru , in whieh is tin
celebrated archaic statue of Hosta am
lr ono of the finest Minorvas in the world
Ho was very unwilling to allow btr.ingorj
or even friends to visit this Lungara mil
suomj only by great favor did ho give
cards of entrance. The prince was alse
mobt unwilling to show the art treasure :
of the Torlonia palace , Piaiwa Vonoziu
where ho lived , Some ton years ngo 1 wn1
V TV anxious to bee the celebrated grou ) :
of Hercules mid Lyons whioli Canovn

COUNT * .
The Cowboys' ; Phrnillto Pre-empted
by Tlllcrs-fllapiil Settlement.
HAYES Conor , Neb. , March 80. [ Cor
respondence of 'tho ' BEE. ] The remarka
ble and rapid development of this south
western section of Nebraska Is deserving
of extended mention. It is barely possi
ble that the eutones3 of the distinguished
Stinking Water statesman , Laird , has in
a mnnsuro detracted from tl o true merits
of this region/ but ns Commissioner
Sparks has brought the tricky Jlni up
standing it is possible that we shall no
longer suflcr from his cussedness , but
will move ahead , as tlio county deserves.
It was the fortune of the writer to en
gage in a conversation with a gentleman
on the train several weeks ago who zeal
ously endeavored lo convince mo that
Mr. Laird's land transactions in this
neighborhood were inspired by the most
delicate scntimonls of benevolence nnd
that his land-grabbing feats were not in
the Interest of self , but wcro simply thn
outgrowth of n desire to grub-stako a
wayward brother of his and several com
panions , und Hint- the Hon. Jim simply
furnished the money , while Iho other fel
lows obtained possession of the land and
bled him to the tune of several hundreds
of dollnrs , and that he had no interest in
the land-grab whatever. The version of
the Stinking Water land squabbles is be
ing vigorously circulated iiorcabouts by
Mr. Laird's ' friends , but with what cll'ect
1 am unable lo say.
Wilh reforciicti to Hayes county and its
prospecls wo have mosl lo do , and must
mildly dismiss the Laird business to the
care of his friends. The location from
which I write is town 0 , range III , and is
in thai much tabooed region west of the
100th meridian , among alleged sand-hills ,
loco wectl nnd cactus plains. For some
reason , evidently inspired by the "frco
range men , " the most discouraging
stories were told of the drouthy barren
ness of this legion , anil it was kept from
settlement until last summer , probablv
from this cause. Early in the spring of
1835 a few adventurous spirits determined
to get beyond the crescent-shaped sand
hills and ceo for a certainty if it was a
desert destitute of everything bill rattle
snakes , cactus and soup-weed. Their
efforts were rewarded by discovering as
pretty a region as lays outdoors. After
crossing a few hillocks of sand that out
cropped from the inaccessible canons of
lihu'Kwnod and SJinking Water crooks ,
there burst on their vision a vast extent
of billowy prairie interspersed with
ponds nnd lakes , over and around which
were roaming vast herds of cattle n
pcrlect paradise for the free range pee
ple. Along the creeks the cattlemen had
lioincstoadod , limber-claimed and pro-
uniplcd all the timber lands , but the
canons cropping out from , the creeks
were plentifully supplied with timber ,
which settled tlio problem of wood.
Our adventurers r returned nnd laid
siege to tho1 McCook land office
and proceeded to file homestead papers
on a few quarters o this favored region.
Hero again thov were cautioned that the
region they sulocted uppn wns torn with
eajxvons o.r.ll was practically useless for
agricultural purposes , and that the catllo
men would not tolerate any settlers in
that region. A swarm of land sharks bo-
sciged the homesteader ? and .jddyl 111
damning Htlytls county as simply a
country of sand plains nnd wild-eyed
cowuoys who sljot interloping settlers on
sight. Undeterred by lliu&o direful
prophecies out. trionds determined to
make the attempt to settle there any
how , and did so. Thir example was fol
lowed by scores of others and from the
last of February , 1885 , to January 1st ,
1880 , a vast number of bottlers have como
in , and some of the line.st sod crop pro
ducts were grown hero last year that ha ?
ever boon grown nuywhcrn. J/ j ; foil
the herd law was coined in spite of the
threats c * ino cattlemen , and today a
range steer cannot bo seen , but in tneir
stead are sod houses , vast reaches of
plow broken prairie , corn stubble and
every evidence of a thrifty community.
The soil is a deep , rich , sandy loam ,
which as represented will produce pro
lific crops of anything that can bo grown
within the limits of tlio 35th and 45tii par
allels. The soil is especially adapted to
root crops by its nature , anil some of the
fine-it sweet and Irish potatoes I have ever
seoii were grown hero lastyoarright from
the sod. Corn and wheat , vegetables and
fruit grow wonderfully and it is seriously
lo bo questioned whether there is a more
fertile area in tlio entire state than exists
between the Red Willow and Frenchman.
Tlio canyons afford an inexhaustible sup
ply of natural limo and marl , which by a
very simple process is devoted to plaster
ing Iho boil houses , making them neat
and tidy in appearance and impervious
to moisture. Excellent water can bo ob
tained at a doplb of one hundred to two
hundred feet , wells are easily dug anil
nearly every settler in this neighborhood
has sunk a well during the past season
and is now abundantly supplied with this
very essential staple.
During the excessively cold snap of
January that seemed lo paralyse the
country generally this region was pecul
iarly oxi'inpt ' from buffering. There was
but very little snow , and live stock re
mained out witb Impunity the entire
winter and suffered but little in conse-
quonco. Most of the settlers hnd built
commodious stables , and duringtho cold
est days had shelter for their horses and
cows , and I question if there is another
section of the state that can show block
that has come through the winter more
favorably than hero.
Now settlers are pouring in rapidly.nnd
as I write several emigrant wagons are
passing the door of my sod shanty on
route a few miles north. About ono hun
dred families have located in the neigh
borhood blnco the middle of February ,
nnd still they como. There Is some vacant
land in this locality yet , and as good ns
that which has been taken. A vast arcn
of corn nnd root crops will be put on !
Ibis spring hereabouts. Plowing hnfl
boon going on for about three weeks ,
The frost is about silt out of the ground ,
and it is now in splendid condition fet
working.
Wo ai o now moving for the establish
ment of a town' ' in 'this locality , as out
nearest postolllco Ms not less thnn sis
miles distant. The settlers of this vicin
ity are KCIIorally Americans , hailinp
principally from Pe'misylvnnia , Ohio ami
Illinois. They 'iro ' people nbovo tlio gen
eral nvorago of intelligence , and will
eventually coinnrisq a community thai
for thrift , intelligence and culture will
compare favorablywitn any section ol
tlio state. More anon.
