8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , JUNE 10 , 1880. MORE STARTLING AFFIDAVITS Further Interesting Developments Yester day in the Smith-Lowy Affair. "COUSIN" BEN FOLSOM. Ho Arrives In Oinnlin DcntJi of Mrs. Unrdncr I'ollco Pointer * a Stub nt ttio DootorH , etc. Moro One of the most sensational nilhlnvita which the celebrated Smith-Lowy suit hns yet brought out was lllctl in tlio United Slalcseirenltcourt yesterday The document is .1 thoroughly interesting one nml tends to make the case look ft trillo dnrk for llaimnn Lowy and Ins son-in- law , Lo\vi3/'glc. ( It is ii sworn statement by Ixiyal Smith , taken before u notary public in Chicago , setting forth addi tional cjlicumstancos concornlng tliu ollbrts of Lowy to hush up ( him ) .Smith. The nflidnvlt sols fortli in .sttbstunca as follows : Tlio nlllnnt , L. L. .Smith , met , by appointment , Lewis Colts. Lowy's son-in-law in the Hoyal hotel , Hamilton , Ontario , on , the null < | ny of May , 188(5. ( Mr. Cole stated that his object was to prevent him ( Smith ) from giving any further testimony in the suit against Lowy. Cole said that tlio old man , meaning by that llniman Lowy , had empowered him to sec Smith , and do whatever he thought best in tli'j way of preventing Smith from giving any further testimony in favor of Iho credi tors. Mr. Smith goes on to state that af ter Cole showed him a letter from Lowy authorizing him , as aforesaid , lie offered that if lie ( Smith ) , would not testify , lie would see that tlio $10,000 , note , which Lowy had given on tlio sale , ( and which was still unpaid ) , .should bo paid in full at once , together with ifcJO.OOa in casli besides. This oiler Smith declined. Cole then offered if Smith would keep out of the way ami not testify for the creditors , Lowy would give him the whole of the money in court in Omaha less the amount which had been paid out for expenses , which lie said was $17,000. Cole said that he proposed to swear to anything lo save the old man ( Lowy ) , even if it landed him in the penitentiary. Smith , according to his allidavit , refused to ac cept this offer , and informed Cole that ho would not take the money lying in the Omaha court and $100,000 besides Cole then admitted that Lowv hail not used him ( Smith ) right , but they had gone so far now that they could not back out ; that they had always told Woolworth and Thurston thnt the sale was genuine and the consideration fully paid , and that if they should now tell them the itetual facts they would nn- doubtedly drop the caso. Smith then told Cole that there were several wit nesses who know the facts connected with the case , and who would testify on the next trial , if granted , to those facts , and that the monev which Lowy paid him ( Smith ) was immediately returned , and that no did not get one nickel for the whole slock. The conversation then and nml there ended. Smith then goes on to state in his af fidavit that subsequently , on about the 10th day of June , lie met Cole again in Chicago , when the latter renewed his offer , in order to prevent Smith from testifying further in the case. Smith ngain declined. A few days afterward , while nt Montreal , Smith received an other dispatch from Cole as follows ; " \Vnnt to meet you at Uossln house , Toron to. Wiieinelicic when you will go. ' L. COM : . " The original of this dispatch and of others Smith offers to. produce in sub stantiation of what he says. Still another allidavit is by David N. Miller , which simply confirms the state ments which have been bworn to by Smith. More AHUlnvIts. Thursday afternoon the attorneys for Halman Lowy replied to the affidavits from Loyal S. Smith , filed some three or four weeks ago , with a series of ten counter-affidavits , 'iwo of these , from Lowy and his .son-in-law , Cole , are very lengthy. Tlio others arc mainly from Chicago people , and bear directly upon tlio actions of Lowy. T. J. Crank , clerk of the Mnttlson house in Chicago , under onth before a notary , declares that ho knows Smith nnd Lowy ; that in iiis capacity of clerk ho is so situated that he can view all persons who enter the hostelry or depart 'therefrom ; that during the month of February , 1885 , when Smith stopped at the hotel , he ( Smith ) and Lowy never had any conversation , and that they were not acquainted during Smith's stay at the house. This is intended to refute an affi davit which assorts that the two men mot nt the Mnttison in February previous to tlio flight of Smith. Mrs. Sophia I'ren/.lauer , who keeps a boarding-house tin Calumet ave in Chicago , avers that Mr. Lowy and his family boarded in iier house for some time ; that during the Jnotith of February , 1883 , Lowy's little son was very sick ; and that during the illness of his boy Lowy was homo all the time. Herman Prcnzlauor , husband ot Sophia Proii/.laucr , substantiates thu statesmonts of his wife. Dr. Emilo Sin cere , a practising physician of Chicago , testifies that he gave his professional services to n son of Lowy's who was 111 with scarlet fever ; that thu boy was sick during the entire mouth of Febru ary. 183:5. : Joseph Bicfiold nnd Nathan Greemvold testify to minor Incidents bearing on the notions of sev eral persons , all of 'which counteracts certain incidents alleged in tlio opposing atlldavlts. Lee , Grossman , n merchant of Howard , Isob. , alllrms as to the notion of one Black , who figures in the story formerly published , Mr. Grossman being in Chicago to purchase a stock of goods and therefore observing the said Black , and likewise being a witness in the lii'tit trial ot the cuso at Lincoln , This is thu gist of the nflldavits filed , embracing all the important statements made. Thursday afternoon Mr. Lowy suc ceed in getting bail in the person of Mr. Adolph Brown , a groceryman doing bus iness on Cumlng street. Ho is once more % free nuin , able to go where'er ho listeth , TIIK GUAXU Election of OHlcors Tlio Gi-unil "Mas- tur'M Heport.J The sessions of tliu grand loiljju of No- brusku Masons weru contiiuuut yostur- day.

The grand master was petitioned bv n bare majority vote of Nebraska ledge No. 1 nt licllovitc , for n dispensation to niovo to Omaha. Httt 'the petition was not granted , because the grand master feit it was only the grand lo-.lgo which could cnnulo such .1 t-liange to bo made. Kcsidos , the ledge was a landmark , and Omaha was growing so rapidly ho felt it would not bo long before it would bo neressary to Imvo n lodge at Helhivue. The oiler of the directors of Masonic hall of an oflice for the secretary of the grand lodge , free of charge , was accepted. Tlio report of Mho grand treasurer shows about ? 1'J,000 on hand. The grand master recommends that this stun be cut down to about fo'.Oia by returning the surplus of ? 3,000 to subordinate lodges upon ti basis of a certain amount for caeli member of the fraternity. This would put the money where it is most needed and nt the same time would not cause the grand lodge to Miller. He also recommends that a custodian or depository bo selected for the orphan educational fund , which now amounts to $ l"vH > 0.17. At present no bonds arc given for the faithful account ing of this MIDI. He favors making the bond in the sum of at least ? 30,000 , and that tlio fund bo loaned at the highest Icgnl rate of interest to bo secured by first mortgage on improved farm lirids , and the innoiint loaned in no case to be more than one-third of the npnnused val uation of the mortgaged property , and at no time exceed ? 1,00. ( The present condition of the laws of masonry in this state renders them prac tically worthless in their present form They should bo simplified , so that the decisions and enactments on a given sub ject may be found. The procedure- the formation of lodges under dispensation has been found annoying and a source of delay. It is accordingly suggested that all petitions seeking the establishment ot lodges be sent lo thi ) grand secretary , and they be not forwarded to the grand piaster until the necessary demits , certificates , ei- dorsemcnts and recommendations are made. Compliments arc paid to 15. V. Kuwait , the grand custodian , and Grand Secre tary Howen of this city , the latter of whom lias succeeded in getting Ills ollico into admirable order. The report of C. Hartman ot Omaha , the grand treasurer up to Juno 10 , 188U was read showing with $ lfi70.08 ! ) left over from last year , total receipts of $21,113.11. The disbursements were ? 3,803,87 , leaving iv balance of ! ? 12,807'J4. The report made by the grand secretary asked for n further appropriation to con tinue the work of printing proceedings prior to 1874 ; showing that the free masons of Omaha had provided n fire proof vault for the library of the grand lodge , and the removal to the latter of a number of works on masonry which had previously occupied the secretary's ollico. The number of ma.ster masons who died during tlio year was forty-four. Tins MOUSING. The grand lodge was in session this morning but transacted nothing of public interest. They will adjourn to-night. Jioforo adjourning , however , they will appoint the other officers omitted from hu list published above. DUNCAN C. KOSS. The AVoll Known Athlete Makes Jits Debut In Onuilm. The Thursday evening train from Lincoln among [ its many passengers brought in as line a specimen of physical manhood , for thirty years existence on this mundane sphere , as over made his first appearance in this city. This was Duncan C. Uoss , the champion all around nthlcto of the of the world. There was a. heather freshness on his check , and n brightness in tlio oyc that spoke of health well nursed ; a breadth of shoulder and girt and an elasticity of stop that showed physical culture in all its prime. At tlio depot he was met by R. V. Fcrgaspnirlio , like the friend ho shook hands with , is u swordsman of well known ability. To gether the two proceeded to the Windsor hotel and the register bears now the name of Duncan C. Koss in as delicate a female hand ns if he were a graduate of Vassar instead of one who has downed the best men in the world in the hardest of athletic sports. Koss needs no introduction here although ho never visited Omaha before. Ho conies from Denver direct , with the exception of a short stop at Lincoln to see some friends , where ho worsted Ser geant Walsh of the United State's army , and is on his way lo Baltimore , Md. , to " visit his children" . It may bo possible that a tournament will be arranged for this city as several prominent swords men from tlio west will arrive hero the coming week. Mr. Koss lias with him his famous gray Norman stallion , which weighs l.iidO pounds and which has always been with its rider in victory. It will lie romtMiibered that tlio sword con tests in which Mr. Koss is so valorous and successful takes place on horseback. The present visitor to Omaha carries with him 113 medals for proficiency on diflerent athletic sports. Among them is a lingo gold insignia presented , by the late millionaire Peter Donougliuc , of San Francisco. This was awarded when Koss defeated representative * of all na tions at Tiboron , Cal. , among wliom were Captain Oastoin , of thu Imperial National Cluard of I'raiico ; Jacob Voss , of the Uliliin cavalry of Germany ; Signor ( ilovanni CatVerini , of the Papal guard , Italy ; Kl Korbo. colonel of the Turkish army ; Count Orolo-iki , of Kussia ; Cap tain ( iraiquo , of the Austrian army , and Sergeant Charles Crowluy , second troop , Second cavalry , U. S. A. The tourna ment lasted two days and on the second only two contestants appeared and the German , Yoss. had to succumb to Koss. These sword contests are a novel sport harmless , but exciting. While htiro Duncan C , Koss will bo the guest of ICd Kothery and A. II. Forbes. The latter Is an old friend of Koss from Cleveland , Ohio , and both thn gentlemen named ara willing to back ( ho visitor in till-around athletic sports for from $1,000 to $5,000. In all likelihood the eitmms ot Omaha will huvosa raru athletic treat in a day or so. Tlio Third Hanlc.

Mr. Ken Folsom , of HufTalo , cousin of Mrs , Cleveland , Etho president's wife , arrived in Omaha yesterday nnd will remain hero several days to attend to some business matters in relation to the Folsom estate , of which ho is the executor its well as one of the heirs. Mrs. Cleveland , it will bo remembered is one of the lega tees of her grandfather , Col. John U. Folsom , of Fohomdalo , N. Y. . , who be sides hts own estate had an undivided half interest in the estate of Hon K. Fol som , father of "Cousin" lion Folsom. In this way Mrs. Cleveland secures an interest m the Omaha Folsom estate' which consists ot valuable city property , estimated to be wortli from $ WO,000 to ? oOO,000. Grandfather Folsom's estate however alone amounted to moro than this. 'JIio Folsom estate in Omaha will not bo disturbed at nresont as some ot the hi'irs are minors. Hcsides it is a profitable investment , as Omaha is grow ing and property is rabidly increasing in value Mr. Hen Folsom , who has acquired con siderable pleasant notoriety in connection with the Clovcland-Folsom union , is a very pleasant young gentleman. Ho is n lawyer by profession , and his homo is now in Hullalo. Ho was formerly u resi dent of Omaiia , and is well known to many of our citizens. Of course Mr. Folsom enjoys the paragraphs that have been hurled at him through every news paper in the land , and lie thinks of hiring n private secretary to compile and keep a scrap-book for him. "bomo of those paragraphs are very funny , " said Mr. Folsom , "but the one that accuses mo of wearing a scarf-pin ns bijt as a half-dol lar , with a red rooster with green foat.h- ers , is a monstrous exaggeration/ can say 'ollloinlly' that I have too much taste to wear a scarf-pin of that si/.p. Hero is tlio pin You will sec that it is no larger than a ten-ecnl piece , and is fcimply a Florentine mosaic. " Mr. Folsom also exhibited to the repre sentative of the UEKII photograph of Mrs. Cleveland taken about a year ago. It shows her to bo a beautiful and lovely looking woman , and docs not have much resemblance to the alleged pictures which have been printed in the newspapers. Had the photographer been nwnro of his possessing n negative lie no doubt would nave made some money , but when the picture was taken ho did not probably know who the young ladv was. The pic ture was taken in a littloNow York town. Mr. Folsom was unable to say whether President Cleveland and wife would visit Omaha this summer , but ho said lie was going to suggest to them that they could not find a much plcusunter place in which to spend a few days. A STAB AT THE DOOTOnS.3 The Death of tlio Douglas County Medical Society. OMAHA , Juno 18. To tlio Editor of the BKE. Knowing you to be a lover of jus tice and always in'favor of fair play , 1 take the liberty of making a few remarks in the columns of your valuable paper concerning the premature death of tlio sickly infant known as the Douglas Comity Medical society. I think the diagnosis of its death pub lished in your issue of yesterday is im proper. ( Perhaps cholera infantnm was the cause of the infant's departure. ) It certainly is a wonder th at in a city like Omaha with its 75,000 inhabitants and over 100 physicians , that it is a notorious rious fact that the majority of said phy sicians arc men of interior medical abil ity , graduates of one-horse colleges , and wlio have the presumption to operate anil prescribe for diseases of which they have no knowledge whatever. i claim I know what I am talking about , and I will stake my reputation asa citizen which is benefit a law-abiding ( more efit to said city than the existence of said society ) , that two-thirds of these medical adventurers could not pass a proper med ical examination in a city like New York. It is time that the legislature would make some move to endow a state med ical college and compel every physician in tins city to pass an examination in said college , and if lie has not the ability to pass then prohibit it from practicing medicine. We have a Law and Order league , whose object is very good , and to take the place of this defunct infant which has just passed nwuy , I would advocate the lormation of a new organization , known as the Omaha Life Preserving Guards , whoso place of business will bo in this city , and whoso principal business will bo confined to the purchasing of rails , tar and feathers , and whenever ono of these medical blood-suckers conies to town , give him a free ride out of town on the rail and a now suit of the tar and feathers. If the legislature fails to do anything for tlio lives ot our citi/.cns , then lot the "Guards" do their duty , and wo will not need so many cemeteries in Omaiia , as tlio excess of deaths in the city is caused moro from improper medical treatment than from disease. Now the death of this unfortunate in- taut can bo simply diagnosed as this : Physicians of ability and education won't and don't propose to congregate or asso ciate with men whoso medical ability is fnr below thn standard , and consequently the infant died not totally from lack of attendance , but it was choked to death by excessive ignorance , which respectable physicians refused to enlighten. Tnos. UKUMINOIIAM. A POim V0llt AC01DKXT. Bolyclcti , Uoya , HnjiloH anil Wen Mingle. Thursday us Dr. Gnlhrnith and John M. Gibb were driving along Dodge street near the High school in opposite directions , the hitter's horse bacanio frightened at two bicycle riders. One of the 'cyclists a son of Mr. G. llobbo , in turning out of the. waj took a header and fell in front of Mr , Gibb's horse. The animal shied uud collided with Dr. Galbraith's vehicle' , thowing out tlio occupant of each. Mr , Glbb was severely bruised and scratched , but was able to ox tricute himself. Dr. Galbrnlth was picked up insensible nml was re moved to his homo , 120 South Twenty * fourth street. It was supposed ho wtis injured internally , but it. has been foitinl that ho has siilrered no serious injury. It is expected ho will bo about in a day or two. Air. Gibb's vehicle was badly broken and Dr. Galbraith's horse ran away , wrecking tlio buggy. The'horses were recovered later. UKAD HV HIS HIDE. Alr0. Saiu'l Gardner Dies Unknown to HoiJluebuntl. . Yesterday morning at 4 o'clock Sam Garrduer attempted to arouse J his wife in tltei ap artments fn Kuony's block , and was horrilietl to find her a corpse. The de ceased lady had been suffering for some time witli rheumatism nnd was almost martyr to pain. At 3 o'clock Thurs day Dr. Hydocalli'd and Jit was thought his patient was butter. About 7 o'clock bho retired and almost immediately fell asleep. Occupants of tlio .adjoining apartments who had been kindly minis tering to tlio sick woman , and her hus band were most caroful-not to disturb I her for it was the lirst rest she had in many days.

Hols ecrtnin at any rate tliat she had been dead man ) ' hours before ho discovered it yesterday morning. The deceased was formerly Ma mie Williams and she was tlio ( laughter of Humphrey Williams , of Now Hartford , Oneida county , N. Y. Three years ago she was married to Mr. Gard ner , of tills city , and tlio union lias been ono of marked happiness. She was a little over thirty years of ago , and a woman of the kindest disposition. It is not known when the .funeral will take place as advices from therast are awaited. Neither is it decided whether the burial will take place in this city or the remains taken to New York state * The inany friends of Sam Gardner , to whom the world has never been too kind , will regret this sad bereavement , and extended sympathy will bo proportionate tionate to his extensive acquaintance and established popularity. Police Points. Dug Mnguiro and George Thompson , two of the worst young crooks in town wore arraigned before Judge Stcnborg yesterday charged with the larceny of a double harness from N. M. Falconer. Mngulrc lias just come out of the peni tentiary where he was sent upon convic tion of robbing a dry goods store in Lin coln. He is a hardened criminal , though upon his release he professed to bo anx ious to reform. Thompson is a young rascal , who , though ho comes of highly respectable parents , is an incorngable thief , having committed numberless deeds which entitle him to a front seat in the "Kogue'scongress. " "You area pair of hardened criminals' , " said Judge Stenberg to the twain , as they entered a plea of guilty , " and 1 propose to give you n good doso. Maguire , 1 sen tence you to thirty days in the county jail , the first ten and tliu last ten on bread and water. Thompson , you are lined $100 and costs. " As the last named was unable to pay his line , ho was sent to the county jail , where ho will be confined for 100 days , t John Morgan , a printer , hail stolen a valise , and was given fifteen days in the county jail. Jesse James , a veteran col ored thief , who has been twice ordered out of town , but who drifted in again with the circus , was ordered to execute a twenty days' sentence on bread and water. Out of eleven drunks three were lined $1 and costs and one $3 and costs , the rest being discharged. Two of the latter claimed to have been robbed of all the money they had when they came to town. _ Two Suits. Two suits were tiled in the United States district court yesterday. Ono was against C. L.

The Ballard trial-was up before Judge Neville , nnd but a small au dience yesterday Public interest in the OafFuir seems to have disappeared.

Ho has at length mustered courage to raise his head und look at the witnc&s , the while , however , ner vously plucking his mus- tach and occasionally visiting n convenient cuspidoro with contributions.
