THE OMAHA DAILY JBEEi TDESJDATjVl/tKOll 1171800 : 5 1 HE FACES HIS FIRST JUDGE Ed Neal , the Suapootcd Murderer , Has a Preliminary HoarlnR. SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM. IlcDRtltlnn ol tlio JRtnllH of tlin .Innen Dual Mnrdor nnd the Nervousness They Kxclto In the I'crson of tlio SiiMpccr. Nrftl'n First .lullso. The preliminary examination ol Neal , the alleged murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Jones , had been sot for 0 o'clock yesterday morning , nt Justice Morrison's ofllce. When that hour came , however , there was no Indication nt the place named that the important event was to occur. County Attorney Mahoney bolng found Htatud that ho had thought best , for man/ reasons , to chnngo both the hour und place , nnd had arranged to have the examination at 10 o'clock In the county commissioners' . ' - A. room nt the court houso. The chnngo became known very slowly , and even many of the olllrors wont to Mor rison's ofllco , ns did a Inrt'o number of'pcoplo who began to arrive bcforo the time an nounced. Quite n crowd gathered about the main en trance of the county Jail nnd hung on until their curiosity to BOO Ncal had boon satis- lied. Among the first to arrive at the commis sioners' room were Mr. nnd Mrs. Cadwalla- and of the murdered dor , the son-in-law daughter dered couple ; Mr. Jones , the son from Irvlngton , nnd his llttlo boy , who identllled tlio old lady's ring which Neal traded In South Omuhn. Other witnesses came m lowly. Cnief Seavey , who had gotten up OUT or A BICK IIEI > to bo present , was the first , aside from THE HEC reporter , to take n aoai within the rail , and was followed a moment later by Hon. John C. Watson of Nebraska City , who , in his now capacity as counsel for Shollonbcr- ger , was u very close observer of the pro ceedings. At 1'iiiO ' a. m. every sitting in the spectators' portion of the room was filled with a double measure of curios ity and from ihnt time forward it was a mat ter of pusli and squeeze almost to dosnern- tlon. Justice Morrison was on hand n quar ter of an hour before ho was needed nnd modestly taking n seat at ono side seemed a trifle nervous. It was the tlrst murder com mitment ho ever had heard as n maglstrato. County Attorney Mahoney did not appear until 10:10 : , but his cool , collected air proved in striking1 contrast to that exhibited by the other attorneys appearing in the caso. Mr. Mahoucy bad not been in the room moro than a minute when a little procession of thrco tiled In. It was composed of Sheriff Uoyd and Jailor Miller with Neal handcuffed to him. The prisoner looked very serious In com parison with what ho had been whon'last soon public. There was a sallow color in Ills face and his features looked pinched nnd drawn. A two weeks' growth of fuzzy board was on his face. Ho appeared nerv ous , mid lingered his derby hat uneasily throughout the entire examination. THE rmyr WOHDS. The first words were uttered by Mr. Our- ley , Neal's attorney. IIo moved the court to discharge the prisoner on the ground that the preliminary examination had not been hold within four days after t the return of the warrant. ' Mr. Mnhonoy was promptly upon his feet nud Informed the court that the warrant had only been returned yesterday morning. Ourley had been , it seems , adroitly misled. Ho had been supposihg the return on the warrant had been mndu immediately after it had Boon served. The court ruled In favor of Mr. Mahonov without a moment's hesitation , nnd ordered the oxatninntion to proceed , and the latter called witnesses for the state. AH ho did so , Gurley asked the court to exclude all witnesses from the room , and not ullow them to be present except as they wore cull ml. Mnhoney assented to this , and the court ordered the request complied with. Mr. Mahoney called Mr. Cadwallador as the llrst witness. In response to the count uttonley'H questions the witness retold the story of his business connection with the Pinnoy farm property , saying that ho had n contract to lease it but had not received his lease at thu limo of the murder. IIo also cxtilalned his relationship with the old folks that they were the father and mother of his wife. The location of the buildings on the place was also gone ovor. Mr. ( Jurloy then took the witness but made little or no effort to get at anything further than n few details as to the facts brought out by Mr. MnhonHy. Mrs. Cadwallador was the next witness. She again went over the story told before the coroner's jury , und was questioned very llttlo ou cross-examination. Dr. McManlgul was called and tes tified to having made the post mortem examination , giving In tninuto detail the course of the various bullets that had entered the victims. Dur ing this testimony these sitting very near to Neal plainly observed that HIS NnitVOChXKSs IXCtlr.ASF.D. His breath came moro quickly nnd ho shunicd his feet , and pinched his derby hat with his thumbs until the latter appeared al most bloodless. jthose ) \ indication of great uneasiness increased at the instant when thu bullet foiVml was exhibited. Llttlo or no effort was made at cross-ex- nmlning the doctor. Ctiurlio Hoot , the llttlo grandson of Allen Koot , who resides near the farm , retold his tttor.v of when ho last saw the old peopio ullve. M. S. Palmer , a civil engineer con nected with thu city surveyors , took the stand and displayed a pi tit of the Pinnoy farm , made by him on Febru ary "I. Counsel for defense said ho had no objec tions to the drawing being admitted , and it was HtirLMil upon tbo table for future refer ence. Mr , Palmer was then excused nnd Coroner Hurrlgan was called. The coroner testified to visiting the scene of the tragedy , on the morning of February 13 In company with the city editor of Tin : 13BE. Tlio loca tion nnd appearance of the bodies were testi fied to very fully by witness , who used the diagram that bail been submitted. Nathan J. Jones , sou of the deceased couple , testified to having been ou thu | ) rom : HOA at the tlmo the bodies were found , und n'guln described their appearance with the xikinu mmutomms as nt the Inquest , Calvin C. Wagner , better Known ns Fletch er Wagner , of West Side , told of the dlscov- vry of the oodles , and the examination was then adjourned to IsiiO. Artnruiinii Somion. Ihu ho.xrinij was resumed by Mr , Mahonny calling Martin Hutor , a Ucriuau gttrdenor whose phieo Is nbout n milo from the Plnney farm , Thn witness was asked whether ho over had neon thu defendant before , nnd re plied ho had , It was on January : tO. and Kent was standing in the hog yard of lha Plnnoy farm ; it ml , ns witness passed him , Kc.il looked at him very hard so long. Wit ness had seen him iicaiu on February U , when lie , Nenl , was driving the cattleto South Omaha , Ho had not scon Ncal between Ihu two dates , On crost-cxntniuaUon , wltnoss said ho had rccu Neal on January ! iu , also hud passed him on the road- After passing him on Jiinimry 30 , witness said that ho looked 11 ronml nnd Nenl was standing still watching litin. On thu siui.o day , January ! U > , witness * nld that he HUW unuhor man at 10 ( o'clock In the morning. U was about 4 ; 0 In the uttcriioon when ho mi\v Neal. ' 1 ho next witness was L. J. Carpenter of South Omaha , tha liveryman from whom beat employed the two men to help drlvo in xlm slock. Continuing , Mr. Carpenter went on Jo glvo Jhe conversations heretofore pub- luhed. Jerry Dee , ono of the young men who was engaged by und helped Neal to urlvu in the mock , was the next ono put ou tlio stand. After retelling all lha Incidents in connec tion with hl being employed by Neal , und the trip out to the house , witness suid hostnv DO person nbout the 1'innoy place. As Dee arrived at this point In his tosti juonj Neal seemed to bo getting nervous , Ju ; aa bo bud Iu the forenoon during the ox- iNSrt testm.ony us to the course * of the bul- Icls , though uol to much to ui la the morn- Infr. When Dee continued hit testimony and said that Nenl forbade his getting nay from the stack ncaroU the horao barn the | iriso nor's uncnsmcss increased and did not scoin to diminish until Dee loft the witness stand. J , U. Merrill testified to being out on the inrm the next Sunday after the tragedy was Discovered , and to picking up a pistol uullot , as previously told of nt great length. K. O , Davis ot South Omaha related hit experience In buyintr the homes of Ncal. When Mr. Mahoney uroduccil tha bill of snlo which Neal had given Davis and the latter hod identified it , the prisoner's counsel picked It up and examined it. Whllo BO doing , Ncal leaned forward and scrutinized the toll-talo scrap ot papar very smilingly , exactly ns though Us bringing forward was a hugo Joke. This was the only tlmo during the cntlro day that the prisoner revealed that nmlla which to the public has now ocooinu as much of u faaturo In connection with the great case as 1ms any other ono particular thin * ? . Mho next witness straightened Ncal'5 fuco out to its greatest possible length and over- ntiadowcd It with a sullenness inoro Intonao than any scon uuon It during the day. It was pretty nn.l attrnuttvo little Miss Hen rietta KacoK , nnd 01 she took the witness chair Nc.il becatno exceedingly nervous. She was thn jiotlto seamstress whom Neal mot at the Wisconsin house on Monday , February 3 , when bo wont there for supper. She saw him the next day in Omahu. It was nbout It n. in , , and ho was coming out of Van Cott's Jewelry store tow ard Milton HOgers' placo. Ho was carrying a double barrelled shot gun. They never had spoken together nnd she didn't think it very atrnngo that bo did not speak to her , nnd then , too , ho was going along with his bond down , or nt least ho was looking down ns If thinking very itituntly. She next saw him on U'odnosdav , nnd witness wont on to relate a number of minor occurrences In re- spouse to cross-questioning by counsel for defense. H. Kolbcrt of South Omaha testified to seeing defendant on February ( I and soiling him n lady' * gold watch nnd plain gold ring for IG5. Witness identified the ring Nual traded to him. When pinned down on cross- examination as to his ability to positively Identify the plain gold ring Neal had bouaht of him , witness said ho would swear that if the ring was eighteen carats and weighed six pennyweights and a half and was plain gold ho couhf Identify it. Leroy Jones , n llttlo grandfon of the mur dered people , was put on the stand. Ho bad soon ttio ring worn by his grandmother and Air. Mahoney showed him the ring that Ncal traded to IColbort mid naked him if that was his grandmothnr's ring. "It looks very much like It , " replied the child. "Can you say positively that this Is your grandmother's ' ring ? " continued Mr. Ma honey "No , sir , I can not ; but I think , yes I do think it Is the sumo ring. " The wltnoss was dismissed nnd Mr. Jonrs was recalled to identify the old overcoat , and Mr. CadwalaUor and Coroner Harrignu to identify the coat taken from tbo body of old Mr. Jones. They Identified the garments. Mr. Mahoney then told the court that ho was done. Mr. Gurlcy said that the defense had no wit nesses. Then Mr. Mahoney moved that the prisoner bo hold to the district court without bail. Squire Morrison spent several minutes looking over notes that ho had made during ho examination. While doing so ho asked , aside , that n blank mittimus bo sent for. This request seemed virtually to settle the question as to what ho was going to dccldo upon. upon.When the blank arrived Squire Morrison called Mr. Mahoney to his desk , and 11 mo ment Inter the latter procoodcd to till it out. Tbo rourt then took It , and calling Mr. Gur- lo.v forward , said : "Tho prisoner will bo held to the district rourt without bail , " nnd the preliminary examination of Neal was ovor. Counsel for the defense scorned to tuko the announce ment in a matter-of-fact wav , as if ho had expected such would bo ttio result. Neal drcxv u long breath , looked unconcerned and whistled gaily to a llttlo dog that happened to run past him , * Just after the proceedings closed Mr. Mahoney - honey announced that nil witnesses wore ex pected to c.ill nt 'Squiro Morrison's ofllco and glvo bond for tholr appearance at the trial. As they uro all so well known ho said that their own recognizance would bo no- copied. When aakod by a reporter when ho thought Ncal's trial would occur. Mr. Mahoney re plied : "I shull hnvo it just as soon as possi ble the lirst of April , 1 hopo. " AS KKGVKUS Chief Abbey ol'Nebraska City Corrects ti Few Uiiti-s.

The lira and pohco board mooting last evening was a hummer. It opened with an inquiry Into u mattorin which William Sidoll , a pipoman of No. 0 hose cart , was charged with using very bad language toward a motor man and stopping motor cars for spite by unnecessarily laying hose across the track. Sidoll caino forward and gave n lenirthy and what soomcd to bo a very plaua- iblo explanation of the affair , which in any event proved of little or no Intorobt what ever to the general public. Another llromaii , George Cragor of No. 2 truck , was upon the charge of bolng absent from duty an hour , and insubordination , preferred by Chief Galligan. Cragorsald that at the titno aUudod to ho had received word ttiat Ills mother , living In a distant part of the city , was taken suddenly ill , and ho nskod too chief to lot him go homo nnd see her , but was rufusod. Then ho telephoned to Commissioner Dennett , and while doing HO ho said that Chief Galllgun puked him away from the phone , toro his coat and then put him out of the engine houso. Cluot' Galligiiti did some very pointed talking when Cragur had lltmheii giving the commission his sldo of the Htory , nnd the chief made out an entirely different case , and ono which seemed to support his charges fully espec ially in view of a largo amount of testimony whlcti finally substantiated them. Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker stopped to the front at this point nnd said ho wanted to bo hoard on soma charges which appeared iu a curtain evening paper , the World-Herald. Ho talked very fast and said that such outrageous charges ns were preferred nguinst every city otllclal , and himself In particular , ought not not to pass unnoticed for a single day. Ho , for ono , didn't proposn to stand It nnd ho wanted t.io board to thoroughly understand the fact. The board duiu't tuko much notice of Mr. Shoemaker's little speech , and Immediately proceeded to consider the protests against John S. Prliico being grunted a license to run a bur in the Coliseum. Dr. Lord , ono of the remonstrants , came forward nnd told the board that ho had signed the romou- stranco bec.uiso ho thought there were q ill to enough of saloons out there now. Hq said that the CoIIsnum was already becoming too great a tosort for sporting and drinking men and fust blonde haired women. Ho know that thu soutluient of the residents of the neighborhood was heartily against the open ing of auothor saloon , or oven tnoso already thoro. The doctor was asked to take thu lint of remonstrants uud toll the board where they lived , so fu. ' as ho know. Ho did so. the result bolng that the board learned that while a number of the sign era lived wtttiln tureo or four blocKs of the Coliseum , many of them lived ithree , four aud oven live times that distance away , W. II. Green , another of these who signed the protest , told the board that the proto.it was gotten up at a meeting of Coliseum stockholders representing 'J33 shares , or n minority of the stock. Manaccr Prluco hdnsolf then told the board that ho had met with wide encourage ment In opening n lltat- class bar at the southeast corner of thq building. Council man Unlley , Judge Shields and many other well known gentlemen had encouraged him to go ahead. Hy mpru accident Manager Prmco said that ho hail not happened to run against any of these stockholders who hud signed the protest. Ilosaid ho proposed to continue to run the Coliseum in strictly first class shape. The board took tliii case under advise- inont. Ford Si Hose , 1513 Farnatn street , were granted a saloon licence. Then cauiu anotheitdab at lira and pollco matters , Captalu J. J. Carter of hose com pany No. 3 got fifteen days' leave of abscnca with pay , ns ho has not been away before for Tour years. Patrolman Cook was given ten days' leave of absence. A resolution passed by the Public Im provement club of Lowo's addition was road asking for two lira alarm boxes out thorc , and referred to the committee on property and Chief Galligan. The committee on property reported hav ing traded the gray team of engine house No. 3 to Mlko Lee for a team of browns , payIng - Ing him $200 to boot. Itoport accepted. Propositions to furnish six now patrol boxes and for lowering cngliio house No. 5 were referred to the committee on property. Attorney Shoemaker was then given a hearing , do proceeded to road the article to which ho had previously referred , and went on to douiaud that theuo charges bo In vestigated. Mr. Gilbert spoke up and said that ho was the commissioner referred to , and ho asked : ' Who do you want Investigated I" "I want you investigated if yoti'ro the man , " answered Shoemaker hotly. "I think wo bettor Investigate the World- Herald , " said Mr. Gilbert , smilingly. 'Fact Is , " continued Shoemaker , "I think the whole thing which reads lilto rot wus gotten up by the same irresponsible reporter who got up a similar thing a llttlo while ngo. " Continuing , Shoemaker talked vehemently. Ho said it was a Ho when any body said that ho wouldn't fllo informations or prosecute gamblers. Commissioner Smith triad to call the In furiated talker down and told him ho needn't shako his linger at the board , and then triad to ask him a question , but Shoemaker wouldn't bo questioned , nnd went on to say that ho was running ono sldo of the police court and that ho had always hood bis own row. Ho said that the article charged Hint members of the pollco force were receiving money from gamblers and ho demanded that the pollco force bo Investigated. In nn oxccutivo session which pieced out a mooting lasting until uftor 112 thus boat ing all previous records the following was decided upon : The application of Hcath- 'mon & Dunwoll , for saloon at 10J > South Ninth was laid ever for a weak ; also the Coliseum mattor.
