Although Hughes was shot down in a hotel ollice , in tiie presence of half a do/on or more men , and there is jio Upubt but that Williams shot him , yet it seems diflicult to secure evi dence to convict him. It is understood that Williams will endeavor to piove that ho .shot Hughes in helf-defeiise. Several others have- been indicted with Williams , but they have not been captured. The gang which were present nt the time of the allra.y seem disposed to keep out of the way and to cover up the facts so far as possible. With all these dillieulties attending the case , and the probability of their i.ot lessening bv fur ther continuances , there'.seems little chance for Williams' convict'on.

The grand jury has found nn indict ment against I ) . .J Mullen , charging him with i'inbc7./lcmcni , nnd the young man Is now behind the bars awaiting trial. This announcement will come with much surpn e to many of the young man's ao- Itialiitanccs , heie and in Omaha , where ic has been doing business for some months , lie has been hi the employ of lillerent loan olllces , and was considered i valuable man for looking after chattel mortgages etu. Mr. W. H. Ciofts se cured him last September to take charge of his loan business in this city , and ho continued in that position until in Janu ary , when Mr A. II Johnson took charge of the business here , and young Mullen went luck to Omaha. It sei'tns that soon after taking hold of thi ) business Here Mr. Johnson began lo llnd evidences that much crookedness leu ! been going on It seems that Mullen liad been leading rather a fast life , and wine , women and g.imbllng are said to liavo di allied his punu so that after his salary was exhausted he indulged in eiool'.cd ways of securing his employer's money. It is Maid that the amount of Ins cm- bc//.lemeiit is in the vicinity of $1,000. This amount was made up of m.iny smaller sutns. One of his f.ivorite ways seems lo have been to make out bogus mortgages and place them on lile In the ollice. A large number of these bogus mortgages Irive been discovered The method in which the. business is done ga\e opportunity for this. Anyone desiring to procure a loan on household furniture , or other proK'ity | , is required to 111 ! out a blank application in a book provided for that purpose. This blank , when tilled out , gives all the details , including the color of the hair , eyes , etc. , the height , and other descriptive points of the nar rower , so that he can easily be hunted up should he skip. It gives the length of time thii applicant has lesideil in the place , tin ; landlord's name , the name of thn grocery where the borrower has been trailing , how long he has been trading there , and. in fact , all the details , so that the loan ollice may gain the needed in formation as to his reliability and credit. The borrower .signs this blank , and often swears to it. It appears that Mullen's first crooked ness consisted of his pocketing recording fees. Ho would fail to recoiil a chattel mortgage , and would charge up fie recording fee as though his had paid it. As the demands ol a fast life increased , he got to making bogus loans. Investigation , for instance , shows that one loan was made on house hold furniture contained in a certain house , on a certain sheet , and rented from a certain man. Inquiry showed that there i no sue ) : number on that .street , and that no such man could be found , while the alleged landlord owns no such property on the street. In fact , the whole seems to have been made up by Mullen , and the money pocketed by him. In some cases the parties named in the application as being the grocers from wiiom the borrower had purchased goods for years , never heard of such a man. Several loans , alleged to have been made in the country , appeared to ho likewise fictitious. One loan was to a man who stated that ho had lived three years in one township and owned a farm there , but no such man could be found. The handwriting or the signatures in many of these case-s is said to'be clearly Mullen's , and in other cases there are evidences that no such parties existed , except in Mullen's imagi nation. Mr. Johnson has been spending a good deal of time , and doing .some very clever detective work in order to get at the facts , and by Saturday ho bait accumu lated so much startling evidence against Mullen as to wairaut indictment. Mullen was in Omaha ; and in order to avoid delay and trouble in going through thofoim of securing a leiniisition , he was induced to visit this side of the river to see about some cases in which he was to serve as a witness. On : u riving hero he was conducted to. the ollice , and there the news was told him , and the shoritl' was notified to came and servo the papers upon him. Mullen was rather surprised , but it is said that previous exposures should have warned him. It is claimed that several small amounts were discovered before this , and as they were brought to his attention he would acknowledge that ho had used the money , and these matter : ! were settled by charging them to his personal ac count , which was already overdrawn. He was urged to toll frankly if there was anything more , but in each case insisted that was all. His conduct has been char itably treated , until this later revelation came , ( mowing about $1,000 ot thesn bogus mortgages , and now it is proposed to put the screws lo him. Young Mullen has : i wife and one child upon whom the disgrace of such a charge falls with such surprise and sorrow as to excite ereat sympathy for them. His father , who lives in Omaha , is said to be a man of some means , but young Mullen's home indicates that if he took any such Hums of money as are claimed , they certainly were not spent there. Mullen and his friends claim that Crofts is trying to make him responsible for money lo.incd out to persons who ob tained the money by fraudulent retire * Himtations , and that young Mullen wa duped himself. He claims that he made the loans , and while he may have made some bad loans , yet the fact that these borro\\ois cannot he found now docs not show that ho acted crookedly in the matter. Some of the loans , claimed to bo ficti < dims ones , had been renewed two or three times , but the hoi rowers never ap < poarcd to reuow them or to pay them after Mr. Johnson o.ime into the mau < agement of allairs. This was among the incidents ronlirmlng the theory that mi such bonowers existed , or , if they did , that they weio chums of Mullen , who joined with him in putting iiw | these schemes , and divided the profits. Attempts were being made ycstordaj to arrange bail for young Mullen. Hi has engaged counsel , and purposes tc light the case , claiming that lie is not re BPonsiblo for the bad loans , which , undei his statement of ntl'airs , has caused all tin trouble , The evidence against him was very strong , however , ami ho will have r hard task to satisfactorily explain then : all. _ Mrs. Handolph , the famous mini ! reader , has just arrived.

No Damucttu Allowed , In the ease of Crow vs Everett tin sealed verdict agreed upon by the jurj Saturday night was opened and provci to be for the defendant. This was a sul for damages brought by Mr. Crov agaiu&t Leonuid Everett for alleged ma licious prosecution. Mr , Crow is a Mm den merchant ot excellent standing. Hi had a chattel mortgage on a to.un belonging - longing to a larmer , and Mr. Korett had n landlord's writ of attachment. Deputy Marshal Hales seized the property on lhi writ , nnd left the properly in the hands of another man. Mr , Crow then came along and took possession of it under lih chattel mortgage , ll.itcs , after consult ing with Mr. Kverett and others , con cluded that Mr. CrOw had technically committed larceny , and so liled an informalioii charging him with stealing the property.

There seems to bo a great diversity of opinion as to whether the memorial ser vices shall be held on Sunday. The com mittees in charge of the arrrangements have decided to hold the services on Sun day , but some opposition has been aroused. The pastors of the Methodist , Congregational , Prusbytciian and Bap tist churches united in a request not to have the services hold on Sunday , ami their \vishes and their reasons therefor were made known to the committees be fore their decision was reached. Those gentlemen \\illdoublless refuse now to take pail in the exercises , Their objec tion seems ohielly that there is liability to make Ihe day somewhat of a holiday. They and others have been arranging to soon commence an agitation in luvor of a more careful public observance of the Sabbath , and they fear to com promise themselves by joining In any such e\oreiH > s on Sunday. On thu other hand , then ; are many who are doubtless fully as sincere , who deem it a most appropriate day for holding such services. Among those is Hev 'I' . J , Mackey , of St. Paul's ' church. On Sun day night he preached a sermon on the subject of "Decoration Day. " The G. A. H.eie present in a body. In the course of nis remarks he spoke in the most enlhuiiastic manner ot the fitness of lioldinu ; such services on Sunday , and c\pressc < l a wish that Decor.ition day each je.ir might fall on the Sabbath. If observed in the true spirit ! and intent ol the day no holier service , to his mind , could be il ) served , mill it was mete for the Sabbath day. A petition has been , stiu'tcd , and has rceehcd many signers , asking that the committees arrange for sen ices on either Monday or Satindayj A number ol clerks and oilier employes are also au\ious to have somii other day than Sunday , as then they glit an extra holi day , and can use it iiupienies , or drives , or other ways as suits them best. There are not many legal holidays at the best , and they favor having .ill they can. Hoom Mouldings Largest assortment and lowest prices at Beard's Wall Paper Snore.
