[ Special to Tin : -Christian Kurst and Charles Shepherd herd before ! i o'clock tomorrow will have ex piated with their lives the brutal murder of Carlos J. Pulslfor in December of l d. The condemned men liavo attained their twenty- second yeUr. They have known little of the pleasures of life nnd their end mis boon reached with nn experience of misery hap pily unknown to many mortals. Shepherd Is n small , slight man of dark complexionwith nn expression In his features r of crafty cunning and cowurdice. Thcro Is no lustro In his eyo. Naturally , ho was undomonstrnilvo and the fate , which for months has stared tilm In the face , has mmlo him moro reserved than usual. Ho suspects his visitors , yet answers with po liteness although ho generally requires each question to bo propounded a second time. Ho haa been visited by several clergymen and neverul ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance union , nnd tins gradually ac cepted their Views of the world bevond the gallows and as nlso the suggestion to prepare to meet his God. This ho has done by moans of u consideration of the enormity of nis crime , his repeiitence for the same and the reading of works on spiritual subjects and csnociully the bible. There is no doubt that his conversion Is sincere , moro especially be cause there Is no hope for his escape. A few clays ago ho sa'.d toTm : TiKi : man who had nskcd him what kind of a life he would lead If ho should again be given his liberty. Ho mulled at the futility of the suggestion and raising his 1 and in which lay the bible , ex claimed : "My llfo will boon that over after this.no TO Her how long I may live. " Today ho suoko about being bapti/cd and it is not mi- likely that ho may receive the sacrament to morrow at the hands of Rev. Mr. Hariison of Scnbnor. Furst Is the younger of the two. Ho has a heavy frame and would make a peaceful man. Vet ho Is almost boyish still in his actions and appearance. Ills frankness Is remarka ble and affects to bo ready to meet his fato. Both of thcso young men said to Tin ; Bui : man today : "You may say that If every person in this world fi'ltos happy as wo do , It would bo well for thorn. " It would not bnvo been difltcult to believe them had it , not boon for the pallid face , the .reworn expression and the furtive glances the elder of the two , whoso mind cannot bo distracted from his fate. There has been some sympathy for Fum. lint for Shepherd there has been none. It lias been claimed that LAirst was drawn into the commission of the crime by the latter. Speaking on the subject , Furst said : "I did not know the man who was Killed. I did t see him until wo met him on the road thtttnVfJlit , " "How many hots were tired 1" ho was asked. ' /or \ "You cnn't provjjthnt by mo. " Pursl meunt.by.thls thai he did not shoot , lccuuso ) SJitjpbw'iK conlinued where Fnrst ha I cowed , nlHl'mild : Jlyo bad not intended to do any shooting. > Vb'enwo met Pulsifor J told him to nut up lils hands. I lifted ono of hU hands myself nnd pointed my revolver nt him. Ho moved Ills right bund toward his pocket to get u re volver , ns I thought , and I lired. He fell. There were three shots fired. " "Did ho dlo immediately ! " "J don't know , I didn't touch him. " "Who robbed hlmf" "Ho died in nn Instant , " vouchsafed Purat. "Ho was dead when I searched him.Vo found about ? -0 , Ho had u poekutboolt in ot.o of bin hands. " Tills was the connection of these young n in tlio crime. Tlioro was no remorse or feilHjiolruyed In their recital. Tlio only ox- piession on the features of Furst was of dis appointment that thu murdeiod man did not bnvo as much money about him as hud been expected , and regret that ho had boon uppro- honUud. Shepherd lias boon industriously at work for several weeks with Ins pen. Ho claims to bo preparing n statement , which he will leave wltn his father , in which ho will hold ihut ho wus Incited to the commission of the crime by a party who Is now a eitl/on of Crowellhore , thu murdoicd man resided. Ho says nlso that ho has promised n history of the crime to n Chicagonn , who will put It in boolt form , Fnrst will make no statement. Ho claims lie has told all ho knows about the matter. At tlrst ho held bo hud been Inspired to the deed by n doctor ol Scrlbnor , but the stato- inont could not bo substantiated. Ho con fided to Tn BII : : , however , thnt the party In question had had nothing to do with this crime , but that ho did Inspire him ( Kurst ) to lissnult and rob saloonkeepers In Scrlbnor , but that his courage fulled. \ \ hllo under this evil Influence ho mot Shepherd. Today there was a final parting between the mother , two sisters and two brottiers of young Furst. To accommodate them Sheriff Mlllllion allowed the young man to coino from the cage Into the corridor of the jull , nnd whllo under thu vo'-y gibbet which Is to swing him Into eternity , to receive the lust einbrncos of his klmlted , The Stuiio was most pathotio , The aged , weeping , despair ing , heart-broken mother cried with the anguish of a mother's bocenvenioiit nnd sense of shame. A dozen tlmos she kissed and embraced her son and turned nway , the warm toais mingling with these of her unfortunate boy , and as many times she returned to him as If she could not realize that the parting wus to bo forever. The faiowell of the brothers and sisters was also pitiful , and finally thu party slowly retired from the scene , leaving the jounu murderer In tears. -Shepherd's father and brother will coino toaioi row. Tonight largo delegations are ex- peeled fiom Crowell , Dodge , West Point and several other towns. They will linger Im patiently until It is announced thnt the law lias avenged the murder of the man thov loved so well , The Jnll In which the execution Is to tuko pluco Is situated Immediately south of the court licrnsu In the heart of this ciiy. It Is n small brick sit urtuiv. In the northern half nro confined the county's prisoners , In the south half resides Sheriff Mllllkon , The Juil consists of ono room , In which Is nn Iron cage about Ux' 0 foot In size. Thin Is divided into an eastern and western half and In the former uio quartered the condemned men. East of the cage is u corridor outlined liy the east wall of the structure. This intior is pierced by two windows , through which tomorrow the ruys of the sun for the last tlmo to the convicted ones , will penetrate , in this corridor stands the scaffold. It Is built of wood and Is the work of Julius Rudowskv of Omuhn , who nmdo the scaffold on which.

Of thcso the sheriff has provided three , which , nt a cost of $10 apiece , ho .purchased in Cin cinnati , Sheriff Mllliken has loft nothing undone to see thnt the execution shall coino off without unnecessary hitches. Ho has maao excellent preparations for the event and has the confi dence of the people. He has roceiv'ed requests from nearly two- thirds of the sh rlffs of the state asking per mission to wltncis the hanglm ; , and has gen erally replied that the ofllcors In question would be 'illowed admission if the size of the ] ull permitted. The prisoners , besides the supervising at tention of the iilieriff , have been under the eve of Jailor Montgomery and Death Watches Burcman and Teal. Thoio wfto rumors today that the younit men would not meet death upon the gallows. But there was no reason to believe that there wns anything Out surmlso in the statement. It wus doubtless occasioned by the fact that In Is * ! ) a nun then under sentence of death cheated the gullows by moans of nis OWT bund , thu desperate net being committed in the inljolnlr.e cell of the cugo In which the murderers arc ronlined. In Juno of 1ST * Dr O. J. Ht Louis of this citv poisoned his wife. Ho wns arrested and charged with murder. He was tried In Tro- inont and the Jury disagreed. He took a change of venue lo Haundors countj. where ho wus found guilty of murder. Ho was sen tenced to bo hanged. On March ' 20 ho waste to have I eon transported to SuUndors county , to bo executed , bat about three hours after midnight no put a plstoi to his head and .shot himself. He lived for two and a half days , dying in ngnnv. The sr.erilT has derided to call out Com pany IX Nebraska nutionnl ituards , Captain Puny , who thirty-six strong will surround Uicill. ] Tonight the father nnd brother of Charles Shepherd bade him goodbye and will not see him UL'aln until nfter the execution. Sneriff Mllliken hus stretched a wire rope outside Iho ] ail and nobody will bo allowed to pass It It will bo guarded by a corps of deputy sheriffs and Company B , Nebraska national guards. The authority to use the militia was grunted tonight in a telegnm from Adjutant General Cole to Sheriff Millikcn. As a consequence quence Captain Perry has ordered his com pany to report at the armory at 'J o'clock tomorrow morning for duty. The sheriff has not yet decided as to the hour of execution. The Crime. On December 10 , 1SSO. nnd about 0 o'clock In the evening , Carlos J. Pulsifor , a grain dealer at Crowoll , locked his office and left for his home , half a milo west of tno town. Half an hour later the report of n pistol shot startled thu Inhabitants of the llltlo town. A number of thoui rushed lo their doors und along Die dark highway and finally Stumbled on tbo dead body of Pulsifor , wnlch lav on tlio thoroughfaie. It was for the killing of this man that Charles Shepherd and Christian Furst were executed. The victim loft a widow and eight chil dren. In the darkness It wrts impossible to ascer tain in what direction the murderers had gono. Ttio news , however , spread with great rapidity and , before morning , largo bodies of farmers wcro scouring for tno criminals In the \lcinity of Crowell , Scrlbner , Dodge and West Point. The first clue to the perpetrators was ob tained shoitly nftor the commission of the crimo. Two men excitedly rushed into the home of a farmer niimoft Schumacher about four itdles west of Crowell aud asked for and bought a loaf of bread. This fact showed the direction in which the murderers had gene and the farmers on the watch were notified of the circumstance. A reward of (1,1)00 ) was offered for tlio ar rest and conviction of the marderers. Of this amount SI.OOJ was offered by Frank Pul sifor , a brother of the deceased , ? 500 by the governor and SIOI ) by Ihe sheriff. The murderers wore Irucqd four miles north of Crowell nnd there the clue was lost. On the morning of tno 12th Inst. about 3 a. m two young men entered the town of Scrlb ner on a pair of worn out burses which they had stolen from a farmer named Groves. They attempted to steal another team in town , but were unsuccessful , and Ihen sought to make their exit on foot , taking 16 Iho brush along Iho Klkhorn river , They were pursued nnd surrendered without re sistance. They were brought back to Scribnor and ono of them was routined in the Jail and the other guarded in the Clifton house. News of their arrest wus wired to Sheriff Million in reinont , who repaired to Scribner and took the suspects in chargo. Talk of lynching was Indulged und a strong force of the loading citizens of the town was em ployed to keep onck the angry farmers. Both of the accused had resided in Scrib- ner , Stiopherd having worked in Spanglor's blacksmith shop and Furst in Joseph Snop- hurd's ' livery stable. The prisoners were taken to Fremont , guarded by a number of deputies and ac companied by another man from Scribnor who , It was suspected , know something about the crime. They wcro contlncd in tne county Ja'll , whore both confessed their crime , each claiming , however , that the other nad fired tbo fatal bullets. The victim was shot through the heart. Ho was robbed of all the money ho bad on his person , amounting to 5iO. 5iO.On On December 20 ttio prisoner ? had a pre liminary hearing , both pleading not guilty , waived examination und were held to the district court. A resident of Crowell , who wus alleged to have Instigated tlio crime , hud u homing nlso but was discharged. The party arrested at Scrlbner , who was sus pected with Shepherd and Furst wns also discharged , but without u hear ing. Shepherd nnd Furst were placed on trial at the next term of Iho district court and found guilty of murder in the llrst de gree. Tno case was later taken to the supreme premo court and Iho tlnding of Iho lower couit was sustained. Two weeks npo friends of the condemned circulated a petition which was presented to Governor Tbuyer requesting thnt the sen tence of death bu commuted to imprison ment. A remonstrance against granting the peti tion wus ulso circulated by the friends of the murdered man with what result is already known , / > .iuort nxi < ; n'is.

This line has been stnlccd out and cross sectioned rcadv for work from a point near Jackson , Dakota county , to Niobraru , thence cro'sing the Niobrara river at its mouth and continuing along the valley of Po-.cn river to the state lino. The government has granted this ro.iu Its right of wav through all government lands and the secretary of the interior hiis approved the same , thus doing away with any unmagos thnt are linhlo to transpire in construction. Vice President Diincoinbo says that Ills company will proceed ns rapidly as possible to the completion of the road ns "marked and staked out upon the ground , " thus pointing to the fact that It Is more than a paper road. The survey as marked out i very direct along the Ponca river , but east of Niobrara is quite crooked In places , duo to the procurement of a light grade. The dis tance from Sioux Chy to Niobrara is made 100 miles , and from Niobrara to the stuto line 01' miles.

Arthur Stanley Wil son was the llrst witness. His cross-exami nation was continued. It commenced with n lone and not very Interesting discussion as to the positions of the tables used in baccarat. In thu course of the cross-examination of Wilson the fact was elicited that the coun ters used In the baccarat games ut Tranby- croft were the propel ty of the prince of Wales and were a sot carried about by him when visiting country houses. Young Wilson , for the llrst time , felt un easy In the witness box when Sir Edward Clark quietly asked : "Hnd you over before tbo evening of September S used the counters you played with during the course of that evening i" Upon hearing the question young Wilson Hushed nervously , glanced towards the prince of Wales , who was nlosoly following the testimony , nnd replied , somewhat hesi tatingly , "No , never. " "Do you know whose property they arei" llnallv said the solicitor general , nmid a pain ful silence throughout the court , nnd during which the witness again glanced in the direc tion of the nrinco. "Yes , " Mr. Wilson answered , slowly. "Whoso property uro they ( " was Sir Ed ward Clark's ' next ducstion. After a moment's hesitation Wilson slowly replied : "Thov belong to the prince of Wales. " Berkeley Levitt , ono of the defendants In the case , was the next witness. Lieutenant Levitt was palo and very neivotis. Replying to Sir Charles Husscll's ' questions witness said ho had known William Gordon-dimming intimately since IbSR. The lieutenant's tes timony in substance confirmed that of young Mr. Wilson in regard to what took place nt Tranbycroft on September \ 0 and 10. Lovett told of talks tie bud with Cuminng after the trouble. "After receiving a letter from plaintiffs lawyer threatening legal ac tion in the matter I mot plaintiff In Pica- dilly , and nfter our preliminary conversa tion , ho said to me : 'How ' is It that you uro all neharne ( bloodthirsty ) against meC I re plied that acharno hud nothing to dolth it , and added that I had received a letter from his ( plaintiff's ) lawyer. Plaintiff then said : That , does not matter. The case will not bo gone on with. ' " The cross examination of Lieutenant Lov ett by Sir Edward Clark did not result in de veloping any important points nnd utterly failed to shako the lieutenant's testimony. Mr. Lvcott Greene was the next witness. He is a son-in-law of the elder Wilson. Ho gave bis evidence quietly and with an ulr of truth which made an impression upon every body present. In substance Greene's testi mony confirmed the evidence of his brother- in-law , Upon tlio rc-aspcmbllng of court after lun cheon the foreman of the- ' jury handed the lord clilef justice a threatening nnd abusive note , which he- said ho had just received. Lvcott Greono. who had just re-entered the witness box , said ho also had received n sim ilar noto. The lord chief justice read the letter hunilcd to him by the foreman of the jury nnd assured uim that it would receive duo attention. Greene said thai when ho saw plaintiff put extra counters over the line he wanted to expose the plaintiff , but when the prince of Wales and ladles were present ho dosUted and left the room. Some tlmo later ho sent a note to Mrs , Wilson. Subsequently ho con fronted Sir Gordon-Cumming and the latter denied his guilt. Mr. Green was cross-examined by Mr. Gill , who soon managed to considerably liven up the proceedings. Mr , Gill began by asking the witness u number of questions as to his duties on the day of the races , nnd the wit ness replied In substance that they consisted of entertaining a race party. Mr. Gill there upon remarked that luncheon was going on all the afternoon perhaps. To this the witness angrily replied : "Do you think I was drunk ! " n question which was followed by loud laughter in court and by "No. no , " from Mr. GUI. The lot d chief justice hero ngain Inter posed , saving that ho did not understand the drift of the cross-oxaicination ns conducted by Mr. Gill. The latter promptly reulled : "Perhaps the jurv understands that there is much moro In this case than is seen on the surface. " Continuing , the witness , who had by this I line recovered his composure , said that ho had certainly not told the prince of Wales that the plaintiff had made wltndriwal of counters when the cards were against him. Mr. Green Utao repeated his denial that an ngreement hud been entered Into to watoh for William Gordon-Cummlng. Ho added , however , "but after having been Informed that Sir William Gordon-Cumming was was cheating , I naturally looked nt his play on the second nlelit. " Later the wltnus's continued : "I was horrified at tlio plaintiff's acts ut the card table. After this I avoided watching. " Mis. Green , wlfo ot the last witness and daughter of Mr. Arthur Wilson , wns the next witness culled to the stand. Mrs. Lvcelt Green said that In ISsS Sir William Gordon- Cumnilng dined ut her house and there taught her daughter to play baccarat. MIM. Green explained that she liad previously met the plaintiff at the housn of her mother , Mrs. Arthur ilson , und thnt shn hud Intimately known a relation of Sir William Gordon- Cumming , for winch relation she still hud u great regard. Mrs. Green then described the positions of the baccarat player during the gumos pluyod at Tunbycroft in Septem ber last , mid snld In reply to a question on the subjoot put by Sir Charles Russell that she hoard the prince of Wales several limes tell the pluintlft to put his stakes where they could bo soon. Upon one of these occasions Sir William Gordon-Cumming replied us ac cording to the witness : "It n on the papjr in front of mo. " Mrs. Green added that she noticed that tbo plaintiff on the night In question was "In lucl ; " nnd nothing moro. The witness then gave an account of tha events which took place during the second night of the baccarat play inir utter she had boon informed that Sir William Gordon-Cumming hud been' seen eheutuiir. Mrs. Green's testimony tn this res uct r.grced In ovOry essential detail with that given by the witnesses on behalf of the defendants who had been previously uxMuIncd. Replying to a question on the subject , Mrs. Green positively declarqd that she had not mentioned the unpleasant bac carat iniildent to anybody but her husband until legal action was brought against herself and the other dofcndnnUi bv Sir William Gordon-Cummlng. Thu solicitor genorul , Sir Edward Clark , had just commenced hla cross-examination of Mrs , Lycott Green , from which nothing of any nmtorinl Interest 1m 1 transpired , whan tno court udjournod until tomorrow. Mrs. Green answered Sir Charles Russell's questions In a linn , clear voice and did not ullow her strange position to make her suffer from nervousness. Liverpool Cotton Conference.

The report of tbo expert accountants who have boon in vestigating the nccounts of ex-City Treas urer Burdsloy was tiunsmltted to the city councils this afternoon by Mayor Stuart. Tlio work of the accountants has embraced thn accounts of both the city and the state , but the report only deals \ \ ith the former , as the investigation into the condition of the state funds has not progressed far enough to bo made public yet.

When the merits of the feast had been thoroughly proven oy the assembly , Mr. . Kurt7. arose and stated the central thought thnt had prompted the giving of the banquet.

A meeting of this kind had been derided upon as tho.most suit able manner in which Dr. Mnxfiold's ' services , could bo recognized by the citUuus of Omaha. Mr. Kurtz then introduced Mayor Gush ing , who responded to the toast , ' -Omaha , the Convention City. " The mayor said ho was taken ftt some dis- advunlugo. Ho had glvon more tliilo to the study of Omaha as a great commercial center- than as u convention city. He had studied. Its streets and grades and pavo- * mcnts a good deal , but the question of conventions had not absorbed much ot his thought. Ho would say , however - over , thnt the location of Omaha guuruntccd for It n leading place in the nation.Vhon the country hus become illicitly populated and thoroughly developed , Omaha would Do in the center. All Imiiortunt gatherings were drawn toward great , centers , and Omahu would In luno bo the great conven tion cltvof the United States. The mayor's ' remarks were greeted by ap plause. Dr. J. B.

Ho spoke of the splendid reputation thnt Omaha justly possessed on account of Us many In tellectual men , and Its women of grace nnd culture. Ho had winched the city grow , bad helpad In his feeble way , ho said , to develop the city and make it a dojiraulo place to live In , and ho wus proud to say that Omaha was the most quiet nnd orderly city of the slzo In the Unlwd States. Ho had simply done his duty In helping to- secure the great con ferfinco for Omaha and ho hoped that greater tic no ( Us might be experienced - poriencod from the success of the efforts put forth than ha 1 boon hoped for by the mo t .sanguine. Ho reviewed the struggle - glo that the commlileo had In IbSS to gain the first concession , and followed the effort all the way along until tha final decision nt Cincinnati last month , giving Bishop Newman anil others much credit for their piirt in securing tbo conference. In closing Dr. Ma.xllold again thanked the gentlemen present for the expression of their unmistakable good will and esteem. Hearty applause followed. Mr. G M. Hitchcock then responded to. "Tho Press.
