Matters.
A Scnintlonal Shooting.
"That's the drunkest man 1 over saw ia
my life , " remarked Patrol Conductor
Crawford at 2flO : o'clock yesterday morn
ing as lie carried into the police station a
man who died at 0 o'clock from the effect
of a bullet supposed to bo
from Policeman White's revolver.
The circumstances of the shoot
ing and the subsequent history of the
case are sensational and peculiar. The
man in question , as ho was searched by
Jailer Sigwart , was apparently lltole.vJ ,
but managed to mutter that his name
was Jacob Richardson , Ho was carried
Into a cell and registered as a dead drunk.
N'o more attention was paid to him until
nearly 0 o'clock yesterday morning , when
Jailer Sigwart was attracted by his
groans and went into the cell to lind him
unconscious and sinking rapidly. Dr.
Loisenring , the city physician , was sum
moned and arrived just before the man
died , at a few minutes past 0 o'clock. A
report had reached the authorities at this
time that the
MAN HAD nr.r.N roisoxr.u ,
nnd the doctor , after a hasty examina
tion , expressed the opinion that such
might have been the case. With this
theory of the man's death in mind Dep-
nty Marshal McDonald and Ollicor Turn-
bull started out to investigate the
case. They first found a man
named McGuire who claimed to
know a man who had seen a saloon
keeper put drugs in a drink which had
been ordered by Richardson. McGuiro's
story was that the saloon keeper and
Richardson had quarreled about a woman
and that thu saloon keeper had adopted
this desperate method of getting even
with his rival. The man who was sup
posed to know all about it was a follow
named Paulson , who lived on Thirtieth
street , in the northern part of the city.
On their way to Paulson's place the olH-
ccrs wore overtaken by a report that the
coroner had discovered that Richardson's
death had been caused by a bullet wound ,
and that Olllccr William White was sup
posed to have lired the fatal shot. In
quiry at the coroner's ollico confirmed
the truth of the report. Immediately
after Richardson's death Coroner Drcxel
was notified and took charge of the re
mains , which were removed about 8
o'clock to the undertaking establishment
of Drcxel & Maul , to bo prepared for
burial. About 10 o'clock the undertaker's
attendants , while engaged in removing
the dead man's clothing , found the part
of his underwear covering his back and
right side saturated with blood. The
clothing was hastily removed and the
blood washed from the man's bodv ,
HIVIAUNO : A IIL'IUT ; uou :
in his right side , between the fourth and
fifth ribs and about four inches to
the right of the back bone. A
blue mark about three inches to
the left of the right nipple showed the lo
cation of the bullet. Dr. Wilcox was
Eiimmoncd and removed the bullet , which
was a ! J8 calibre from a Smith & Wesson
revolver. The upward course of the bul
let had made a wound which closed up
on the surface , causing the man to blccil
to death internally. As soon as this fact
was made known McDonald and Turn-
bull wont to Ollicer While's homo on Cali
fornia street. The ollicer was found m
I'A told that lie was wanted down at
tliu Central station. After his dinner ho
accompanied the officers and on the way
to the station was told ot the ( loath of
Richardson , who was supposed to be one
of the men who had assaulted White on
Sixteenth strectcarly yesterday morning.
The announcement came with the force
of a stunning surprise to Mr. White , who
had not dreamed that the shots ho had
fired at the men on Sixteenth street hud
taken any effect.
Ofllcer WIUto'H Statement.
Officer White was taken to the police
station , whore ho will be hold to await
the action of the coroner's jury , which
will meet at 9 o'clock this morning. His
Btory of the trouble , told to his fellow of
ficers in prosoncoof a llni : reporter , is as
follows :
"For the past week a gang of fellows
have been csmmitting all kinds of depre
dations on Sixteenth street , tearing down
signs and throwing thorn into the gutter.
Last night or this morning about 1
o'clock 1 saw four of them como out of
Kupaw's saloon on Sixteenth street , near
Hurt , and heard that they were pretty
loud. I stepped into a dark doorway be
tween Hurt , and Cuming and waited for
thorn to como along. When they ap
peared they had a barber polo that they
had torn from the sidewalk in front of a
shop and were carrying it alone on their
shoulders , two at each end. 1 stopped
them and ordered them to carry the polo
back to the pluoo vjioro they got it.
They very reluctantly obeyed my order ,
cursing mo as they went along. When
they had set thu sign up by the window
where they found it I told them to con-
Rider themselves under arrest and started
toward the police station expecting to
meet Bloom on the next boat and gut his
assistance , 1 was walking between two
of the men and had the oilier two ahead
of mo. The two fellows in front began
to walk pretty fast and hail gained con
siderable distance when wo reached
Whilehouso's drugsloro at the corner of
Sixteenth and Webster. At this point
the two men in front broke and ran west
on Webster street. I tried to got my two
men to hurry to the corner , ami was
pushing them along when thu big fellow
on my right hit mo and knocked mo
' down. As I fell both men kicked mo and
started to run. As 1 fell 1 out my right
hand and fell on my right side. 1 reached
into my pocket and got my revolver into
my left hand , then taking it into my right
raised upon my elbow and
riKKPTWO SHOTS.
The men at this time were a half block
away , ami whim 1 got on my feet they
were out or' sight- was quite dark-
going north on Sixteenth street , 1
walked up thu street a block but saw
nothing of them , and so turned back
down thu street , 1 met O Hirer Bloom ,
I ? who told me that a cabman had reported
to him that a man was lying drunk on the
I sidewalk on Cuming street. We walked
back together and found a man lying on
the sidewalk just west of Quinu's saloon ,
lluwas apparently helplessly drunk , sv
we culled the patrol wagon and had him
taken to the station as a drunk. On out
way back wo met Captain Cormick and
Sargcant Mostyn , who had hoard of my
row through a cab driver and came
to see what was up , I told then :
the facts in the case just aa I have Jtolii
them to you. 1 did not know that 1 lui'J
hit either of the vncn when I shot and cat :
I' not now recognize Richardson as ono ol
the party I arrested. I think 1 coulu
recognize ono of them , a big fellow , whc
struck mo. "
ll'ie Four Men. '
After considerable search vestcrdaj
) ho Bolide
men who wcro with Richardson when
the row occurred which ended his life.
Tlicy are Grant Kountzoman , the son of
a well known citizen , Unvld , March , Jt
brrtkemnn on the Minneapolis & Omah.i
route , and Jack Ixjwroy , an engineer on
the "Klkhorn Valley1' ' road. Two of
these men wcro found and will bo held
vs witnesses.
Ilniintzctimn'ft Story ,
( rant Konnt/.oman appeared at the
coroner's ofllco yesterday evening and
undo his statement , lie said he was out
vith the party and had spent the night
around the saloons and was fouling
> retty well under the inllncnco of liquor
vhon thny started for homo about 1
o'clock Sunday morning. Ho admitted
ho truth of Olllccr White's statement so
ar us ho know. Ho and March wcro
valuing ahead of Whllo who had Lowroy
mil Itleliardson willrhim. They walked
'ttst purposely to get away trom the
olllccr , ami ran as soon as they
reached Webster street. "Wo had only
jono a short distance , " ho said , "when I
icard two shots llred. We did not stop
ind 1 did not sen either Hichardson or
, owroy after that. " Koiint/.oman was
badly broken up over the terrible ending
of his night's carousal and spoke highly
if the dead man who was his friend.
When asked as to Officer \ \ hltc'a con-
hict ho replied that he hud nothing to
say against the ollicer , who wasdischarg-
ng what ho deemed his duty. Ho knew
lothiug of the shooting and did not know
jilt that the .shots were tired at March and
lim. March could not bo found last
light , but his presence is promised at the
coroner's estimation to-day.
Ijowrpy'H 'Statement ,
.lack Lowroy , an engineer on the 1'rc-
nont , Klkhorn & Missouri Valley road ,
was with White and iiichardson when the
shooting occurred , lie was arrested by
William Nightingale last night as a wit
less in the case. His story corroborates
those of Ollicer White and Mr. Kount/.o-
nan in the main. Ho admits that he and
ds three companions were arrested by
kVhito while they were carrying oil'a bar-
jcr sign which they had torn down in
.heir carousal. Ho says that when
March and Kount/oman started to
run ho and Kichardson took
id vantage of While's anxiety
o overtake them and started themselves
; o run in the opposite direction. He says
hut as they began to run White throw
umself down on the sidewalk and lired
: wo shots after Idem. Ho t-oparated
from Richardson and did not know of his
loath until nearly noon.
Thu Statements Compared.
Ollicer White's statement is accepted
without exception by the police author- !
-ies. - Ho told the same story to Uaptam
Cormick before Ho knew that ho had hit
either of the men , in fact before any one
mow the man had been shot. Ollicer
White , too. is one of the most reliable
men on the force , cool-headed and care-
tul , ami the utmost cotilidence is placed
in any statement that ho mav make. Ho
lias been on the force for nearly three
years and is one of the best men in the
police department. The statement of
both Kouiitzcman and Lowroy show that
the party was violating : the laws of the
city when White placed them under ar
rest. Lowrcy is the only one who can
? ivo evidence concerning tlio shooting ,
lie admits that ho and Richardson tried
to escape from the ollicor but makes
rattier an improbable statement that the
ollicor fell to the sidewalk before ho lired
and without having been struck by any
one.
The Dcud Alan.
Jacob Richardson , the victim of this
peculiar sensation , was a young man 25
years of age , and has lived in Omaha for
years with his parents at 152 ; ] Saunders
street. lie was a bricklayer by trade ,
and had the reputation of being a reas
onably quiet , orderly man and a good
workman. His remains were removed
to his home last night , where the funeral
will take place. Ho was a member of
the Omaha Bricklayers' union , which has
given the following
NOTICI : OK Tim Kuxr.uAi , :
A special mooting of the Omaha Hriek-
layers association will be held at their
hall , on the corner of Fourteenth and
Douglas street , at 7)0 : ! ) o'clock this evening -
ing to make arrangements for the fu
neral of Brother Jacob Richardson. The
funeral takes place Tuesday at 2 p. m.
from the late residence of the deceased
at No. 152:1 : Saunders street. Members of
all local labor unions arc especially re
quested to attend.
A C'ltish < > l Authority.
Detective Nightingale was among the
members of the police force detailed to
investigate the case. Ho located the
three witnesses , March , Lowrcy and
Komit/.cman , and claimed that ho had an
agreement from them that they would
appear at 7 o'clock last evening to give
their testimony or furnish bonds for
their appearance before the coroner's
jurj' . Ho had ono of the men , Lowroy ,
in Kupaw's saloon yesterday evening
when Deputy Sheriff ( .Jrobo entered and
placed him under arrest. Nightingale
protested that Lowroy was in his charge
and opposed ( irobo'.s authority. Sheriff
Cotiurn was called in'and referred the
case to Coroner Drcxtil , who sided with
the sheriff and claimed that Nightingale
had no authority to arrest any one as a
witness , but that the ease was entirely in
his hands. After considerable parleying
Sheriff Coburn took charge of Lowroy to
be responsible for his appearance al the
investigation to-day.
Htrny Shots.
Ollicer White is in custody at the city
jail.Ono
Ono of the bullets from the ollicer.'s re-
volvcr broke a window in the second
story of Smith's drug store at the corner
of Sixteenth and Webster streets.
On technical grounds there would bo
dilllcultles in proving that Oilieer White
lired the shot which killed Hichardson ,
Ho does not recognize Richardson as one
of his assailants and Lowroy did not
know that Richardson was shot until
noon yesterday , as ho loft him and ran in
a dill'oront direction when the two broke
away from the oflieer.
Business men on Sixteenth street , while
regretting the unfortunate affair , hope
that it will have a checking inlliioncu
upon the actions of the toughs who have
been creating all manner of dopradations
on that street. 1'or the past month hardly
a night has passed but that seine business
man has his signs torn down or windows
broken by the dopradations of hoodlums ,
A Itaro Chance.
During the latter part of January and
the lirst part of February wo sold 50 aero
lots in Solomon's addition. This cleans
them all up and Mr. Solomon now wishes
to soil his homo , consisting of CO acres of
hind , the very linest part of the whole
tract , for s ? < JO,000 , including his two-story
brick residence and barns. Tl.o improve
ments cost ovur ifUO.OOO. This is a bar
gain. A man can easily get $75,000 to
$100,000 out of this land by platting into
lots and have all the improvements and
a beautiful plat of ground left. Will sell
for small cash payment and the balance
on ten years' time at 7 per cent.
