Not Guilty ,

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.

WASHINGTON , August 25. [ Special Tele
gram to the BKE.J Mrs. Eliza Howard Pow
ers died at her residence tn this city yester
day. This lady was one of those gallant
women who did so much lor the soldiers of
the union army during the war. For many
years bho was a resident of Boston , and was
In comfortable circumstances , but In 1&G4 she
lost her means and from that tlmountll July ,
ISSi , was dependent upon her relatives for
support. In the senate of the Forty-eighth con-
gressablll was passed to reimburse her for
tha money actually expended. It hung lire
in the bouse for a long time , but during the
last hours of the session Judge Ilolman se
cured the speaker's eye and In a few words
set forth the noble services of Mrs. Powers
before his colleagues and asked that they
pass the bill. The response was unanimous
and Mrs. Powers was able to enjoy the fruits
of Holman's tactics during her last hours.
In the report of tbo committee on claims on
this case It Is stated that from April 29. 1861 ,
to August 14,1N3I , she devoted her time , en-
urgy , Inlluence and means to the service
of the union soldiers and tor the success of
the union cause , caring for the sick and
wounded soldiers , collecting and torwardlni ;
hospital supplies and money for their relief ,
mtnlsterlne to their wants and reliuvlng their
sufTerings in camp , Held and hospital. Dur

New Whisky Made Old.
WASIIIXOTON , August 25. [ Special Tele
gram to the BKK. ] A couple of Inventors
from Illinois named Glass , who have pa
tented a process for "aging" whisky , are now
In Washington to cot the Internal revenue
iiiroaa to grant them the same privileges.
They ask that permission bo given to distil
lers or other owners of whisky In bonded
warehouses to have their goods passed
hrough a system requiring Injected air
under the supervision of the storekeeper in
barge. Thu inventors guarantee to put the
Iqtior so treated at once back into the
.tamped . packages. 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. DVputy
Commissioner Henderson says ho docs not
see how In can authorize or become a party
to experiment on liquor in bond , however
meritorious the process may bo , and lie will
therefore decline to comply with the re
quests made.

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

MISS DODGE GIVES BONDS
The Mysterious Case Will Now Bo Investi
gated By the Grand Jury.
NO TRIAL THOUGHT PROBABLE.
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.
