The crime for which James Reynolds was
( cnteiiced to ban * wns tliu killing on tlio
nlflht of .Soiitembcr 10 , IbSS. of .1 nines Pink-
stoii and his son ilohiinli ! , near what Is
known as Piihlor's horse camp , on Middle
creek , thirty miles noith of Sidney. In Chey
enne county , Noli. The elder Plnkston , n
imui about , fifty-live years old , Johnnlu Pink-
ston , perhaps twunty-ono years ot apt1 , nnd
,11m iEuynohlH hud tiavcled together from
.Saline county , Mo , , where they "previously
lived In HID same noinhboiliood. Less tlian
two weeks before the time of tin ; tragedy
the three men had made filinuson adjoining
claims ubont it mile north of the hor.su enmp ,
nmlnt the time of the tragedy they were
building n dugout , thu thrcu working to
gether , on old man Pinkston's place , nnd
had tlnlshed the excavation nnd hauled sev
eral loads of lojs for the hulldint ! .
Wednesday evening , the 10th of September ,
about .sundown , supper wns bcins eate.n
when a slluht tliarrel | arose amoii the men ,
and according to Iteynohls own concession
nlterwurds , lie seized the axe nnd struck
both tlm I'inkstons. No human being Haw
Jim Reynolds strike the fatal blows except ,
possibly , the two victims , nnd it Is probable
they did not se.o him , as the boy bad been
htruck on the back of the head , and the old
man on thu back nnd top , his skull being
lltcially crushed. As soon as thu crime was
committed Hujnoids undertook the work of
hiding It. 'Iho two horses wcrohltcheil to
the running Bear of the wagon , the bodies
thrown on nnd hauled about a halt mile Into
n sand draw , where n shallow pit wns dim ,
nnd both piled In n heap and covered with
sand. Goliifi back to the camp the murderer
dim up n few of the bloody spots ot earth ,
ehatmed his clothing , sot the tent In which
they had been llvlnc on lire , aid : mounting
0110 of the horses rode to n neighbor's place
and told a mndc-up story of two men who
looked like cowboys , but were blackened up
like negroes , having come to their camp , and
alter demanding the money ot the
party with drawn revolvers one of Ihoin had
taken the axe nnd hit thu two I'lnkslons be
cause they refused to pive up ; ho had turned
his pockets wronghklo out and they
.spared him. Ills narrative then con tin-
ed ttmt.the two alleged cowboys bad hitched
| Dlio "team , burled the bodies and sei the
jk\t.'oh .liroVcim'ip'elliiig him to i accompany
thcm"ind ( finally when they had 1 Mulshed all
this and secured about hfty dollars they
started west on foot after telling him to
"skip. " which he proceeded to do by taking
one of the horses as before mentioned.
'Unit night Reynolds stopped with a young
neighbor nnuicd Leo Nunn , and slept wltn
him , tolling his story and going over every
detail. In the moriuim they look breakfast
ntthehouso of Lou Mumi's father's , a halt
nillo down the creek , and then Reynolds and

Ing about noon. In Sidney the story
created urcat excitement and parties
were rapidly organIxinn to fro In search of
tlm murderer * , but the strong Improbability
of the .story , Leo Miinn's suspicions , which
ho had Imparted to thu coroner , and other
suspicious acts ot Reynolds let to the swear-
InK.out before Justice. iShnman and serving
of a warrant by 0. K. TroKiilt/ , acting for the
sheriff , who wns absent.
The coroner's Investigation and examina
tion the bodies made that evening estab
lished very'clearly the impossibility ot Rey
nolds' fWrylolng true and the probability
almost certainty of his own guilt. The
Micrlff had some fear for the prisoner's safety
the second night after his nrrcst nnd took
him to Ledge Pole , eighteen miles from
Sidney , but ho was only in danger of being
lynched on Middle Creek. If ho had been
taken back there when arrested there is little
doubt as to what his Into would have been.
At the Chovunno county district court ,
commencing Decumber 2Sth , 1SS5 , Reynolds
WHS brought up for trial , but a few days be
fore court met ho bewail to bo allllctod with
nervous spells , and lost apparently , all rea
son. Judge llamer convened thu Insanity
I commission , .who , after examining Reynolds ,
mid Jlvo'doctors returned their verdict that
hu Was sane. The trial then proceeded , the
Mate being represented by II. M. Sinclair ,
prosecuting attorney of the Tenth judicial
district , nnd the dofe.nso by W. 0. Rcllly ,
Ksq. , ot Sidney , and Charles Rcllly , of Kear
ney. The state did not exercise Its right to
u Mnsli ! peremptory challenge ; the dut'ensn
refused live of the Jurors. A clear circum
stantial case was made against the prisoner ,
and in addition his confession to different
parties niter ho was arrested , was put in evi
dence against him. Thodetenso had practi
cally no proof , but pleaded that their pris
oner , if hu could spcaK , would testify to a
quarrel , in which ho killed a man to defend
himself. At 10 o'clock on Thursday night ,
December Hist , JudgO'llamer read his charge
to thu jury , and before the ringing of the now
year bells n verdict of murder in the tirst do-
L'reu was returned against the prisoner , and
the jury dismissed. On the last day of court
JudgA ilamer passed the death sentence , fix-
ini : May -1st as the day of ( lie execution.
Reynolds Is about 'J5 ye.iis old , of light
complexion with brown hair and eyes , lias a
receding forehead and hardly an avcrago
look of intelligence. Jlo Is nearly six leet
tall , but Is slender nnd stoops and will not
weigh a bundled nnd lifty pounds. In per
sonal habits and address no shows himself to
bo uneducated and unrefined. Slnco his trial
ho has remained mute , nlthouvh ho appar
ently rmigiu/.cs many things that aio going
onnround him.
During thu las two weeks the actions of
Itoynolds Induced Sheriff Knbanks to request
thu court to examine into the sanity of the
pilboncr. Accoidingly Dr. Mattlunvson , of
IH ! ! state insane asylum , was summoned to
Sidney , TiUHiHy , and spent the greater part
. ( it the day and a night in the. prisoner's cell ,
uiKl reported to Judge llamer that In his
opinion Reynolds was sane. The doctor
put him under the intlueneo of ehloiofonn
and ndmlnlstcicd ether , alter which ho giow
quilii garrulous , bjioko about the crime , and
talkedof other matters for overnn hour ,
lie made no resistance to taking medicine.
Dr. ,1. U , Carter , who accompanied Dr.
Matthovvson , concurred in the opinion that
Reynolds was shamming. He considered
him sane. The testimony , with that ot the
HlierlU'nnd others , wns submitted to a Jury on
Wednesday , and at luo'clock that night , they
/cturned a verdict that Reynolds was sane.
The Ijcgal Penalty ,
Sinxr.v. Neb. , May 21. [ Special Tde-
Vam.J The Mrst legal hanging In Cheyenne
ounty occurred to-day. James Reynolds ,
ihu double muiderer of the Pinkstons , paid
the extreme penalty of the law this after
noon. The gallows was erected on the west
fide of the jail , where a high board fence had
been built to keen the execution from the
Fight of the curiosity seekers. At 3 o'clock
$ herilf KnUank read the death warrant In the
Cell of the condemned , to which Reynolds
paid careful attention. The deputies then
proceeded to pinion his hands to his side , lie
vas perfectly cool and evinced no signs of
emotion. The niocesslon to the gallows was
formed by Sheriff Knbank and Deputy Moore
leading tlio prisoner between his spiritual ad
viser , llcv. Leslie Stevens , and ex-Shentf
Fowler , whom Iteynolds lequested to attend
liliu.
T.UvlNT. A 1'ICTl'ni : .
Reynolds ascended the scaffold firmly and
without any hesitation. Ills legs weiti then
tied together and the noose adjusted. At
this moment the local photoa-npher took a
picture of the scene while Reynolds looked
about him tor a few moments. Tlio crowd
below said ho was really showing wondeitul
larUUulc. The black cap was placed 0.11 his
head and over his face , llcv. Stevens offered
prayer , during which the sherltr gave the
signal.
. BTKUXITY.
At 3:20 : the trap was sprung and Rey
nolds' body was burled Into eternity. Ills
neck wns broken Instantly. Dr. Kleld. as
sisted by several physicians , then noted the
pulsations of the heart. In thirteen and a
half minutes death wns pronounced and the
body \\tif cut down , nnd at 3:47 : placed In the
coflin. Ills face bore no signs of pain.
Tlio crowd nt this time outside the jail
numbered about emo thousand. Theslioiilf
pei nutted them to enter nnd gn/.o
upon the murderer , aim the lerriblo
Instrumentof death. The best of order pre
vailed. Sheriff Kubank is commended for
the excellent manner of conducting the
execution.
At 5 o'clock the body was burled in the
ceinctcu adjacent to the town. The last
night was spent in prayer wlljj Rev. Leslie
Stevens , of the Methodist church , to whom
ho made a full confession of the crime in
the coolest manner possible , and with no
nervousness other than nn ordinary con
versation would develop. Thu mnn re
lated all.
TIIK CONFESSION .
Hie confession covers eight closely written
pages of legal cap paper. Thu confession
toes on to state that he nnd tlio old man ,
Plnkston , had trouble about thu settlement ; v
lhat a qnanel arose between them , and in
the heat of passion the murderer struck the
old mnn on the head with nn
nxo. The son tried to protect
the father , when Reynolds struck him , too.
Until fell Immediately. One. blow killed
each. The balance of the confession relates ,
substantially , how the murderer disposed ot
them , coming to town with n concocted story
about cowboys , how his continued muteness
for the past live months WAS maintained for
the purnose of feigning Insanity. Ills early
life and habits were such that ho never re
ceived any schooling. He used to work on a
farm In Howard county , Missouri , afterward
In Sallno county , where ho met I'lnkston.
Ho would bo ! M years of age in December.
The people are now satisfied , the law hav
ing taken its course. At the time of the mur
der mob violence was only prevented by the
judgment oxcrdlscd by the sherilV and" Dis
trict Attorney Sinclair.
Kevnolds continued to act the Insanity
dodge , to'purfectlon , down to the very mo
ment of his execution.

Interesting Mnttcrn.
WASHINGTON , May 21. [ Special. ] Con
siderable feeling has been worked up nlong
the eastern nnd northeastern coasts over the
tlshcry question , growing out of the seizure
by the Uritlsh authorities of the American
llshlng schooner David J. Adams , for alleged
violation of the fishery or custom laws. Xo
limit has been placed upon the liberties
granted English lulling vessels In American
haibors. They were given all the protection
and all the privileges accorded our own ves
sels , nnd the seizure of an American vessel
in .Canadian waters because , as Is aliened ,
she was purchasing bait , "an evidence that
she was going to fish. " 1ms caused bad feeling
and lii-onght about a demand for very de
cisive steps nn the part of this goveinmcnt.
The people most directly Interested are suf
ficiently Insulted nnd aggrieved to make
them want to light , and ttiey would bo glad
to see the matter lead to a war , but they will
not see it.
OKXKIt.U , IIADKAU'S PAY.
The refusal of the second auditor of thb
treasury to uiidlt the pay account of General
Adam Hadenii , of the retired list of the army ,
'
has brought about a good deal of comment o'n
the custom now In vogue of finding protests
lor disallowing claims against the govern
ment. It Is alleged that the principal aim of
many of the accounting officers Is to lind
pretexts for disallowing claims.
General liadenn was appointed by Presi
dent Grant to bo consul general In England.
Dadoan was then on the retired list of the
army. AE a man cannot draw two salaries
from the government , ho did not ask tor his
salary as a retired army ofliccr while In the
consular service. Recently , however , ho was
supeiseded in that position and came homo.
According to custom ho resigned his position
on the retired list tlio day he retired ftoin the
consular office. A few davs ago ho called for
his salary as a retired officer and was in
formed that whnn ho accepted an appoint
ment ho lost his place on the retired list , nnd
that hisaccount would not bo allowed or audit
ed , so General Hadcau has brought suit for
his salary. He holds that n man cannot ba
taken from the retired list of the army or
navy except by order of the president or a
law specilic. It is believed his point will
hold good.
oi.ioMAitoiiiixn : : KIOIIT.
Ono of the most determined and lively
lights that has been wa cd before congress
tor vcars has been pending for ten days be
tween tlio dairymen and farmers of the
country and the pork and beef packers. The
former class demand the passage of the bill
taxing imitations of butter nnd cheese and
the latter light it. It is astonishing what a
showing is being made in favor of the maiiu-
factmers of bogus and filthy butter and
cheese. The pork and beef packers have
thousands of agents in the country procuring
petitions against the bill and n lobby heio
lighting It. The investigations Into the
maiiufncturo of this .stull has developed a
horrible disclosure. Olormargerine , it has
been shown , is made mostly of cotton seed
oil and the filthiest offal from slaughter
houses. It is full of animal life and is in
jurious to health. Despite the efforts of the
dispensers of offali the oleomargerinebill will
undoubtedly be passed nnd the manufacture
will Do cut olf.
Tim roi.YOANY nii.r , .
The committee , have considered the Kd-
mnnds bill and will submit their views to the
full committee , which will meet thereafter as
soon as practicable. The Kdmnnds bill will
be very greatly modified , but I am not pre
pared to say , until action by the full commit
tee , In what respect , i will say. however ,
that it will not bo materially to change the
policy of tlio government in reference to
polygamy , but the elfoit will bo made , while
condemning the crime of polyiramy , to do so
in consistency with constitutional law and
with respect lo the liberties of the people
atl'eetcd. The amendment to the constitution
proposed bv the committee was intended to
define the crime of polygamy and tno like , as
treason is defined by the constitution itself ,
fo that no element in the definition : of the
otfensowould bo left to congressional action.
Having defined the crime' lest it should
continue or bo levived In a new state
when It has ceased to bo a territory ,
the amendment gives congress the power
to punish the crime created by this arti
cle and to tlm courts of the United States the
power to try it. Then , in order to prevent
any Inference in favor of the power of con
gress to Interfere In the general law of each
slate as to marriage nno divorce , the amend
ment further provides that no construction
shall bo given to it which would deny to cacti
state the exclusive power to regulate that
class of questions , or to give any such power
to congiess. The amendment , therefore ,
while serving as a remedy for crime , oven In
the states themselves. Is entirely conserva
tive ot the power of the stales over the im
poitant domestic relation of the family. "

committee met to-day. Garland was tlio first
witness. Ills attention was called to Drier-
sou's testimony , and ho said there wore two
or three mistakes In his account of the inter
view at the department ot justice. Ho ( Gar
land ) had not expressed any opinion as to
the proper mode of treating Van lletliuy-
sen'i application , The witness had told him
that ho had no jurisdiction ; that the paper
had gonti out of his olllce. The witness had
not made any remark In reference that would
have reference to an application tiled In his
oflice afterwards. The witness wss positive
ubont that ; ho bad purposely remained silent
on that point. Outrageous as It may have
seemed , he would rather have acted In t.ho
matter hlm&elf than have made any remark
on the proper mode of making the applica
tion , and it ho was positive about anything
it was on this point. ' Oats said It had been
alleged that tuo wUncss.uad visited Young's
rooms white a conference was in session. The
witness replied ho had. never been In those
rooms and did not know until he had seen It
.n the newspaiKjrs that ! Young had rooms In
"O" street. Ho wished to reucnt his former
statement. He did not believe ho had at
tended a Pan-Electric meeting after the
presidential election ! of 18S4 , nnd was
[ losltlvo ho never attended one after the in-
uignratlon. Oats Inquired If any person had
Intimated to the witness that the application
for a suit would bo made , nnd that Iho wit
ness had Intimated that It would bo Inoppor
tune It made during his absence. Tlio wit
ness positively declared that there had been
no such intimations. Ilnnncy read from
Urlerson's account of his Interview with the
attorney general , nnd the witness smiled nt
certain points.
"What did these four men wnnt ? " Inquired
Ilannoy , referring lo the visit of. Urierson
and the others to the department.
" 1 have already stated about thirteen
times , " said the witness , "but will state It
ngaln If yon wish. What they wanted I don't
know ; what they said they wanted was : 'Wo
want the name of the United States to test
tlio llnll telephone patent. ' I remarked In
reply thnt 1 could not consider the implica
tion ; that t was a stock holder and an attor
ney for a rival company. Then there wns a
question or two nbout procedure 1 don't re
member what they were. I wns determined
to cut the matter oft and may have been n
little abrupt , I am afraid. "
ni.um IN TKI.KPIIONKS.
Casey Young offered to show by competent
evidence that tno patent thnt had been at
tacked by the government had been obtained
by fraud from the patent olllco ; that the
olllcer who gave It was derolect In his duty ;
that ho issued the statement through corrupt
Influences , and Hint ho was paid by the
patentee to Issue the patent. These facts he
would prove by papers or witnesses.
The committee at this point adjourned till

A largo delegation from the Philadelphia

examination for postorjice and custom house
positions had obtained copies of examination
papers before examination _ took nla'ce nnd
lind "crammed" for the test , and were thus
enabled to pass n bcttcrexamlnntlon than
others. The gentlemen stated their case to
the commissioners , and were heard with
every consldcrntlon.TWbot.they finished ,
the commissioners stjued that it was almost
impossible for such n tiling -to happen. Ono
sheet might bo obtained-but it was hardly
likely that a whole'.set could bo ob
tained , Only the required number
of papers wore sent to each of the
local examiners , ono for each candidate erse
so many as are to bo examined in ono day.
Thus papers could not well-bo obtained from
local examiners , and commissioners . were
certain thnt It wns Impossible to obtain a set
of papers from their olllco'here. Friends of
applicants or candidates could not obtain
them here. They might get an application
blank , but ccitainly not n set of examination
papers. The gentleman from Philadelphia
had no special charge to urolfer , but a g ( n-
oral one , and the commissioners said they
would bo happy to.JJsten , to any complaint
they might bring , ivnil they would try and
correct it if it was proven to.be substantiated

RAIMIOAO POOLiS.
A Itcorfcnnlznlinit of AVcHtern Pools
Necessary to Secure Harmony.
CHICAGO , May 21. [ Special Telegram. ]
It is firmly believed by certain prominent
railroad men thnt there is no probability that
tl.o Western Freight association will everbo
recognized again , and there is a prospect
thnt the tripartite combination , ( the Western
Trunk association ) , which entails heavy ex
pense upon the Hock Island , Milwaukee. &
St. Paul , and Union Pacific , without any
benefit being derived thircfrom , will soon bo
abandoned. The indications are that new
combinations will bo formed this summer
which will Include the trnllic of the above
named association , ns well as that heretofore
pooled in the Northwestern Traffic associa
tion. The fact has been established that
neither ot those pools can bo managed suc
cessfully separately , but the opinion Is ex
pressed that combined they may prove
of considerable benefit and insure
maintenance of uniform rates. The termi
nus of the new combination is to be extended
to Cheyenne on the Union Pacific and Uis-
marck and Fargo on the Northern and iho
Manitoba roads. At the same time the
Southwestern Hallway association Is to
bo extended to include the Kansas busi
ness of tlio Atchlson , Topeka & Santa Fe ,
Missouri Pncllic , and other Kansas roads. If
the Santo Fe does not secure favorable recog
nition by the Southwestern Hallway associa-
it may carry out its threat to begin and finish
an independent line to Chicago , which the
existing lines between Chicago , St. Louis
and Kansas City are anxious to prevent.

Dns Motsns , Iowa , May 21. Immediately
upon the opening of the Impeachment case
this morning the question or the light to ex-
cusoa member of the senate nroso , but by the
drift the discussion took , It seemed likely to
consume the greater part of the forenoon nnd
the excuse naked which brought forth the dis
cussion wns withdrawn. Judge Nouro then
proceeded with Ids opening remarks and oe-
cunied the greater part of the morning.
DisMoiNis : : , Mny 21. The ontlio tlmo of :
the Impeachment trial of Auditor Brown to
day has been occupied by Judge Nourse.
opening the ease for the accused. He lind
not finished at tlmo of adjournment to-night ,
nnd will continue his speech to-morrow. Ho
said , ns 1m did not intend to speak nt the
close of the trial , lie should make n thorough
statement of his views of the law nnd tno
facts In the case. Hesumlng the argument
as to the question of impcachnblo olfenses ,
he quoted from the declinations of promi
nent men outside of the state on this point.
Hon. John Shcrmnn was quoted to the olfect
that not tilvlal olTeiises , but only clear and
palpable violations of the constitution or tlio
law. can bo made Inipeachnble.
The argument on tno part of the managers
would tend to establish that this court wns
called upon to try a civil suit Involving six
ty-two and n half cents. He then quoted
Davis of Kentucky , to the effect thnt Im
peachment can bo had only lor treason , bri
bery or an otfenso that had been made such
by positive statute and It must bo one of a
very vicious character. lie then proceeded
to discuss tlio question of thu test of the evi
dence. Senators were disposed to free their
minds from nil bias and especially to divest
themselves ot any Impression which may
have been made by the tilth reeking from a
hired press , derogatory to the auditor.
A IIUASONAlll.i : ItOLMIT.
The managers said that as this wns not n
criminal proceeding.tho rule that the accused
should have the lienetit of a reasonable doubt
does not apply In this case. The counsel
combatted this position vigoiously , but said
that ho knew this case so well , that , if at tlio
close of this trial , any senator had a
doubt as to the innocence of the auditor hn
would nlmost say vote him guilty. He quoted
the malingers as having said that while they
might not bo able to establish bribery , they
would prove a chain of circumstances
which would show grave impropriety.
That Is , that Brown could not he convicted
of bribery , but he could be convicted , under
nn article charging bribery , of improper con
duct. Counsel here quoted from Judge
( ieorge P. Wright , when in the United States
senate , In reference to the charges against
Secretary Belknnp , that money or anything
presented to a public olllcer after ho had per
formed nn official act , without any evidence
that such present was expected , was not
bribery. Suppose a member of the legisla
ture just adjourned received a pass from
a railroad corporation as n reward for
the manner in which ho had performed his
duty , there being no evidence that tlio mem
ber had any expectation 6f iccelvlng such
pass , would that have been bribery ? Would
the acceptance by the auditor from the
Brcmor Countybnnk"Orensonnble amount
after the examination and without any evidence -
denco of Improper" "consideration tbe >
considered . Corrupt ? . Continuing to'
discuss , the relation's between
Brown ' and ex-Governor Sherman
counsel Paid the malingers say the dere-
lectlon of other officers of the'stato does' not
excuse or justify the auditors In a failure to
coniply-strictly with tlio law. This may' ' bo ,
strictly true , but let ns ask why Governor
Sherman did not begin to "nag 1 the other of
ficers for Jliclr failure ? Why was he not so
scrupulous about tliC'others whom he knew
were doing tlio same things ? The' reason
was . that he had conspired to
crush' tlm auditors. Judge 'Nourdo then
reviewed in detail the articles of impeach
ment , dwelling with particular force upon
those involving Sherman's relation to tbo
case and attacking the latter with great bit
terness and severity , charging him witli at
tempting to Intimidate a public officer from
doing his duty. Ho also charged the begin
ning of the difficulty with the auditor was
on account of Jiis examination of nn < 'Insur
ance company with which Sherman was con
nected. ' *
