ILY SEVENTEENTH ! YEAK. OMAHA. FRIDAY MORNING , AUGUST 2G. ' 1887 , NUMBER 69 ; RICHARDSON A FREE MAN , HU Trial at Loup City Ends in a Verdict of Not Guilty , THE JURY OUT ONLY TWO HOURS Increased Crowd * In Attendance At the Norfolk Kcunton and tlio In terest Unabated In Spite of Dad Weather. Richardson Not Guilty. Hioux CITV , la. . August 25. [ Special Tclesram tothoUr.K. ] The ttlal ot 11. L. Richardson was concluded about 12 o'clock last nleht. O. M. Lambcrtson addressed the Jury for over two hours with coat oil and de termination ( lashing from his eyes. Ho ven tilated the evidence of the state , showing plainly that the state's evidence , excepting Harbor Dennett's , was Iho production ami outgrowth of a hellish hate , silmulated by a liberal use of LOUD City whisky. All through the trial the defense claimed to have worked against the untalr rulings of the court , but after all Judge llamor'3 charge to the Jury was the essence of justice and law. The jury took the easa to their room at midnight and at litteon minutes after 2 o'clock brought In a verdict of not guiltj. Thus ends the darkest chapter of Sherman county's political strife. Un the 2Sth day of May last Richardson killed a man to save his life and on that day he would have boon lynched had the sheriff not been near at hand to protect him. Now , on the 25th day ot August , he walks the streets a free man. It Is a fact that Richard- eon had always advocated morality , sobriety and honesty. lie antagonized no one but law breakers , with which Loup City had been cursed more than her share. Ho says of his mistake In publishing the poem that Is the one thing of his life ho ha to regret. Tlio conspiracy , consisting of the Nightengale brothers , J. R. Scott and others so freely spokan of by such organs as the Republican and State Journal , did not materialize In the course ot the trial , but will doubtless bo called for In the near future by tlio above-named gentlemen. The result ot this trial forever buries the political faction In this county who are pleased to call themselves thfa stalwarts and assures bolter county government and a Just finan cial management.

Permission Is also asked to pass the whisky as 't shall bo manufactured through his process , which , It Is claimed , has been ihoroimhtv tested In Kentucky and else where , showing that it does not diminish the quality or proof of spirits , while it Improves them wonderfully , producing an article equal to the best three-year-old whisky.

A HOT TIME IN THE COMMONS Gladstone Moves His Bosolntion Asking In formation Regarding the Proclamation , BALFOUR MAKES A WEAK REPLY. Itofnxlng to Produce Government Papers On the Ground Tlint They Are Confidential Documents Foreign News. Gladstone Loudly Chcnrcd. LONDON. August M. Gladstone was greeted with cheers In the commons this evening when ho arose to move his resolu tion , lie said the Irish viceroy , In declaring that the league had Incited to violence , must have acted on Information , but where was that Information ? The Irish chiefs had a right to demand to know the ground on which the government had acted. It the facts were withhold the opposition must forthwith tirgo thrco propositions upon the house and government : First. It was almost an outrage on the dignity of parliament to suppose It was to discharge such an Import ant statutory enactment without knowing the grounds. Secondly. It reduced to utter destruction and to absurdity the main con tention that the government advanced dur ing the discussion of the crimes act , that the safeguard promised had proven a farce. Thirdly. What could the house think of the nformatlon they must thus know would not bear the light ? Gladstone had always con- ended thtt the government were legislating against combinations apart from crime , and now was the tlmo for the government to show that ho and his friends wore wrong , but the government shrank from the test and declined the challenge. They had sub stituted an arbitrary will for regular legal action. This principle was the most danger- ons and disgraceful one in any country , and especially In lieland. Law in Ireland was still on trial. A great misfortune was that those who administered It , especlaWv locally , were not In sympathy with the feelIngs - Ings of the peonlo. The proclamation of the league , Gladstone declared , was a near approach preach of a declaration of war on the Irish people. Tlio peopln of Ireland generally sympathized with the league because they believed thnt It hail been their salvation. Nobody did anything for the tenants until the league was founded. The government was pressing Ireland very hard , and it w.is evident they Intended to work and act by summary jurisdiction. The government's action absolutely excluded the bouso from anything except an absurd and perfunctory operation in connection with the crc.it duty devolving upon it under the statute. Their cognizance of this proclamation was reduced to a mere farce. Tlicro would bo no jury , judge or resident nmclstratn , and no parlia ment to control Ireland ; thnro would be noth ing but an absolute , unmitigated , arbitrary act ot tlio Irish executive , which was necessarily partisan. Ho hoped the Irish would continue to bear the pressure. They would not have to suiter long. It wascertaln they would not obey the law through fear ( cheers ) , but from a strong , vivid , buoyant hope which , even at the last election , was not damaged , and wlilch was brUhter and livelier. The Irish believed that the government's policy had not the sanction of the British nation. The government's foundation was slipping from under them and their action in reference to the proclamation ot the league showed their strength was fading. Gladstone then pre sented his resolution amid prolonged cheers. Dalfour said Gladstone would have been wiser had ho tested his argument on the allegation that the house was Iir- norant of the grounds for the proclamation , rather than on the defence of the league. The government's ditiltniKj was not the thullni ; of evidence to juieiiy the proclamation , but the selecting of itfiom the enormous amount of evidence they possessed. There was sufficient foundation to justify the proclamation inthe columns of the local news papers without going into the government's confidential renorts. Ho quoted ai length from documents to show that the league was guilty of boycotting , cocrclnu and instlgaMug infractions of the law. Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked the speaker If there documents would bo sub mitted to the house and again whether they would be tabled. The speaker replied that Balfour was not bound to table confidential documents , but the case was dlflermit with olllclal papers , which the house might want to verify. lialtour said ho would not table thu docu ments. They were of three kinds public and confidential papers , and his own notes. If the people realized the true natuie and working of the league , ho said , they would support the government. Balfour accused the opposition , through Gladstone , of making themselves apologists for and therefore accomplices In Intimi dation. Harrington commented on the worthlessness - ness of the documents which the govern ment refused to table. lie said It would be thedutvof the league to continue to work and not to shrink from the consciences. Mr. Russell protested against the coercion of the league , but said that , having supported the crimes bill , he could not withhold from the government the powers they demanded. After further remarks by T. P. O'Connor and others the debate was adjourned. Appeal to the Quoen. LONDON , August 25. The Parnellites will return to London to-day In rcadjness tor ttio debate this evening. Notice was given by Gladstone In the commons yesterday of a resolution that a bumble address bo presented to the queen representing that the viceroy of Ireland has proclaimed the National league a dangerous association ; that no Information has been furnished to parliament to justify a proclamation by virtue of which h r majesty's subjects are to be rendered liable to bo pun ished as criminals without judicial Inquiry Into the nature of their acts ; and that this house , In the absoilee of such Information prays that said proclamation shall not con tinue In force as to the association named and described therein. A Conflict Imminent. PARIS , August 25. A conflict is Immlnenl between the government and the municipal council. A decree was to-day published an nulling the tatter's resolution Inviting dele gates from all tlio municipal cities In France to a grand congress here , but the municipal committee had already Issued invitations anil large number ot towns are certain to re spond.

Friends on Both Hldei Trylnn to Hush the Matter Up Anxious to Have nnbcoclc For a Husband. Sarah Admitted to Ball. GARDNEH , III. , August 25. | Special Tele gram to thn BKK.I Miss Sarah Dodge was held In 910,000 bonds to an swer the charge of shooting and killing Walter S. Babcock. The bond was signed by herself , Jacob Butz , a banker , Chester K. Snyder , Henry Loach , Jacob R. Gorham , and her mother. Tlio probabilities now are that the ease will novcr even como to tilal. B.ibcock's friends In Chicago and Miss Dodge's friends here are unitedly working to hush the matter up. It Is believed that the grand jury will not Indict Miss Dodge. There Is no doubt but Babcock was shot In her bedroom , but that Miss Dodge shot him , or shot him with Intent to mnrder him , nobody believes. Babcock's statement to Dr. McMann clears her In the minds ot the people. The people ple of the county are kicking about the heavy taxes resulting from the Schwartz- Watt trial for the Rock Island express rob bery , and object to the county being saddled with the tax of trying Miss Dodge when there Is no hope ot a conviction , and when nobody bolloves her to bo guilty of Intent to murder. Miss Dodge's friends are anxious to give out the Impression that Babcock , spending the night in the house as a visitor , wont to nor room and tried to criminally as sault her. and that she seized the revolver she alwavs kept In her room and shot him. They don't tell this story In so many words , but with many hints and winks they will say , "If a man tried to break Into your daughter's or your sister's bedroom , would you blame her for shooting him ? We do not know that anybody tried to get Into Miss Dodge's room , but a nod Is as good as a wink to a blind horse , and straws show the way thu wind blows , and so on , and so on. " But this theory is absurd. No ono posted in the case can bcllovo It. The true story Is apparently the ono given In the BKK yesterday. All ot to-day's develop ments and interviews tend to contain ft. That Babcock had criminal relations with Miss Dodge Is practically undisputed hero. That he seduced her under a piomlse of mar- rlago is generally conceded in this place. It this bo so there are various facts tending to show that the Illegal relations , if such there were , began over eighteen months ago , About the on 1 of last April the lovers had a quarrel , and for three months Babcock did not come to Gardner. Miss Dodtro wont to Chicago and had an interview with him. Ho put her oil with specious promises , and said no was very busy , but would go down to Gardner the following Saturday evening. Ho did not come. She wrote say in i : she was coming up again to Chicago. lie replied saying ho was going out of the city but would bo back in a few days and would eo down to see her the following Friday evening. Ho did KO down and that was the night that ho was shot Mrs. Dodge was anxious to have Babcock fora sou-tn-law ; Miss Dodge was anxious to have him for a husband. The women were eager to have him borrow their money ; It Is said they thrust It upon him. asking him to find a profitable Investment tor It or else keep It himself as a loan. He took the money , and It Is believed he ruined tbe girl. He was willing to pay back the money , and It Is now believed did nay back a good deal of It , but he evaded and temporized when marrlaue WAS talked of. * It was his apparent anxiety to pay tlio borrowed money ttittt convinced Miss Dodge that he wanted to got out of his promise of marriage. The two apparently occupied the same bed Friday niKht. What arguments or wrangle ho had during the night no ono knows except Miss Dodge , but the end ot It was that she got out her lovolvcr and tried to kill her self. Babcock tried to prevent her , and In the struggle the revolver went off , the bullet Inflicting the wound troin which Babcock died. Frightened and sobered by the acci dent the woman tried to stanch and bind up the wound. Both wcio thoroughly frightened by the prospect of a public scandal , and so it was decided that they should drive at once to Gardner , get some medical aid Irom Miss Dodge's regular physician. Dr. McMann , and then that Babcock should go on at once to Chicago. Tills is no speculative theory , it Is the actual story of tlio case as believed by Miss Dodge's most intimate friends and sup plemented by much Incidental testimony of n fragmentary character and by the halt ex planations made by Miss Dodge herself. "Mrs. Uodire , the mother of Miss Dodco , is very eccentric , " said Mr. Lulz , chatting In his store with n repoiter. "She used to como in here and say to me , 'You think you're pietty rich , Mr. Lutz , but 1 have as mucli money as ) on. ' She Is a queer , misery old creature. She says she told Bab- cook hho wanted a husband tor Sarah ; that Sarah was educated and would make a good wife. She has said substan tially the same to me. She pretended to be poor In order to avoid paying taxes , but to those she now pretty well she liked to boast that , though she wore old clothes , she could buy and sell the whole crowd. I have known her daughter for twenty years. 1 never sus pected tills Babcock business ; I thought she was tUo sort of 5 girl that would never look at a man. An , well , one never knows women. Miss Dodge Is a good , respectable , respected and well-mannered irlrl. She used to come to my house sometimes to get les sons on the piano from a music teacher who was In town. I like her and respect her ; considering the sort ot mother she had and the way she had to work , 1 thoiuht her a wonderful girl. That girl had to do a man's work. Most of the tlmo she llvud with her mother Kho had to haul coal , drive the wagon , and do all the work around the house , for they kept no help. I will never believe she shot Babcock except by accident ; but I have no doubt but she knows all about the shootlnc. If she goes before the grand jury and says this man was trying to reak into her bedroom or take liberties witli her and she shot him , that would end the matter. There Is no evidence to the con trary. " The Cnaa In Chicago. CHICAGO , August 25. ( Special Telegram tothoBEE.l-Mr. S. K. Martin , Babcock's brother-in-law , thinks it best not to say what steps the family may or may not take 'In the Investigation ot the circumstances surround ing his death or the prosecution of any ono connected therewith. Ho also thought there was nothing yet definitely settled as to tin administration of Mr. Babcock's estate. Talk ing upon this latter point , ho said : "I don't think thu colonel was a very wealthy man , for ho lost about all ho had ten or twelve years asto , when ho and others founded an Insurance company. Slnco then he had conlinod him self to the lumber business , and to my know ! ' edge had always douo a small but safe and reasonably profitable business. Yes , 1 know all about thu 58,000 loan about a year ago , You see , when Mr. Wheeler went In wltli him the agreement was that Mr. Babcob should put In throe- times as much money aa Wheeler. It was found later that ho was willing to Invest more than the sum first talked of , and the colonel rondo thai loan In order to bring his capital up tc thr e times Mr. Wheeler's Investment. ' Turning to the discussion of the Dodg ( feature of the case Mr. Martin remarked thai he never expected that justice would be done the dead man now. "He was too wak t ( tell nis version In full when ho came home and too honest to do anybody an Injustice bj a half-story. \ ou can sou by what Mrs. Dodgt says In the papers this morning that slit forced the daughter on him , and 1 under bland that some Tetters have been found froir Miss Doilgo which bear out my conclusloi that she was chasing after him. No , I can' tell you anything ot the contents ot tin letters , for I haven't seen them , but that's tin Inference. I never hoard the woman's nami until after ho was shot , but 1 know in an In definite manner that there was someone they tried to tease him about occasionally , and tha { bat percun as In the habit of coming to cal on him at the oftlce. You must know , thoneh. that It was all wrontt to say that Colonel Babcock wont down there to stay over Sun day with her. Why , his friends at tlio house cannot recollect of a Sunday when ho was away from homo. The colonel WAS a ilnglo man , who unavoidably c me In contact with women occasionally In a business way , but I am surprised at the view some ot the lum bermen take of his connection with this woman , when they are BO familiar with his Integrity and sense of honor. " f' Deputy Coroner Barrett says that he has n now theory as to the motive for and location if the mysterious shooting of Colonel Bab- ock. The examination of the "now" house Jelonglnir to the Dodge women made on Tuesday was not quite through. The two bed-chambers , on the ground floor and thn other upstairs , were carefully examined. What appeared to bo a blood stain was found on Mio carpet In front ot ono or two beds In the .ipper chamber. No trace of the bullet which missed Colonel Babcock could bo found. Tim inly portion of the house which was not ex- uulneil was the stairway connecting the two loon. Mr. Barrett thinks the bullet might be found In that stairway. His theory Is 'hat Colonel Babcock remained downstairs whllo Miss Dodge retired to tha upper : hambcr. He subsequently ascended Irro pt.Urwav , but before ho roarlied the top of it Miss Dodge sprang out of her bed and rnn to the head of the stairs and warned him to come no further. Then when ho per sisted slio shot him. The range the bullet took In his bodv shows conclusive' bat the shot was tired from an elevated poj. .ion. Mr. Burrett also expressed the opinion that the friends of Colonel Babcock had boon made acquainted with the exact truth In the case , and they did not cam to have it made known to the public. Ho regarded the case as ono which was so peculiarly surrounded that It must remain forever inoro or less mysterious unless Miis Dodge should choose to talk. FOIl UOMMKIlGlALi UNION.
