nary examination of Dick Ucrlln nml Oharlos
Hay ? , charged with hnvliip murdered
Mayor 0. I' . Miller of South Omaha onTuoi-
doy , October 4.
The Interest In the outcome of the hearing
caused a largo crowd to niaomblo and illl
nlmosi ovorj ivallnblo space In the ODUTI ,
room. A vurv large percentage of these
present were South Omahu peoplo.
All oyo3 were directed toward a largo
woman , whoso fauo was bullion oolilnd n
veil , nhd she completely cnnoaalod her
Identity. Hhuvvas regarded as the mysterious
woman , whojo testimony U suppoioJ to bo
so valuable to the prosecution In establishing
the iuilt ; of bo accused' , liar Identity was
not revealed until tUo case was eallail anu
she was sworn. She then romavod her veil.
County Attorney Alahonuy conducted the
examination for the stato. Ju luos Strawn
niul Hitcllo appeared for IliV t nntl W. F.
Gurloy and Uhnrlot for Uorlln.
Itwas'JiSj'whon the c.nc was cilled by

proiccution and they were sworn. The at
torneys for the defense nsicjd to Invo the
witnesses cautioned nuout convcrsinc ; In re
gard to the ease , and requested that they
bo not allowed in the court room durinp the
giving of toitlmony. An exception was
made to the physicians nnd police olHcors.
The others were placed In uh irgo of an ofll-
cor nnd talten from thu court room , and only
appeared when their names wore called.
The accused were brought Into the court
room Just before the case was called. They
did not'nppoar in the least approhonslvo. Aa
the testimony was Riven the prisoners at
tentively listened to what the witness was
saying. ' ll\ya was not exactly at his ease ,
nnd rocked his chair considerable during the
hearing. Berlin romalnod parfuetly qulot.
'When Clara Allen oolntod thorn out as tno
BUilty parlies and placed her hand tfpon
their shoulders they did not ohanco their
looks In the least , but closely regarded her
with their eyes.
Toulmnity of tlin riiytlchxiis.
Dr. A. 13. Somor * was the llrst witness
called by County Attorney Mahoncy. His
testimony developed nothing startling. Ho
described In detail the condition of Mayor
Miller when tnkon to the Methodist hospital ,
and said the wound was necessarily fatal.
Ho found no powder marks , although ho
looked for them , nnd probably would have
discovered them had ttiero been any. On
cross-oxamlnatlon the doctor mated that
although tbo fucc nnd lio.ul had been washed
before ho arrived there was no washing
done which would bavo removed powdot
marks.
Dr. J. E. Summers , jr. , was the next wit

as the one ho had removed from Mayor Mil
ler's sltull. He found no traces of powdot
burns , oltber externally or internally. The

stand and gave hli tostimoiiv. Ho tooli
charge ot the remains after the death ol

torn examination , and the bullet' ho was
given to look at was the same that was taken
from the mayor's skull. Ho also Identified

todv by Chlof Detective Haze. Ho de >
Ecribod tbo effects of Mayor Miller , which
had been turned over to him by the matror
of the Methodist hospital. They includoc
personal pacers , gold watch and other aril
clos. On cross-examination thu deputy cor
oner was asked to Identify some papers UIK
lead pencils prosontodtohim as being amonc

whioh was written , "To whom U may con

About IhU lima Zndoch Pratt of Greene
county , Now York , Invited Gould to
Join him In establishing n tannery In
l-iUzernii county , 1'ou n sylvan I u. This
invitation was accepted nnd the
lanuorv was built and put in operation by
Iho llrm of Pratt it Gould. . Tno partners
did not long ngro < 3 , and Goulil borrowed the
money to buy Pratt , out. Whllo In this busi
ness UJUid often xvont to Now York to sell
the product of his tannery , und this rather
disposes of the preliy story which has boon
current for many years that his llrst aopoar-
anco in Now York was to cndoavoi' to soil n
nienuetrnn of hU own Invention ,
Mr. Gould sold fcut the millro tannery nnd
his Hi/lit to the hemilocK growths of the
vicinity soon nftor reaching the ngo of 21 ,
und Just In iho nick of time , lee , for in a few
weeks came thop.ii.loof 13.17. Even thus
curly he had developed his maxim lhat the
tlmu to buy is Just niter n crushing punle1 ,
nud with that principle fixed In his mind ho
sought iho cro.it metropolis with ull his
means in ready rash. In his business visits
to Now york Mr. Gould had mada tlio 110-
( Ittaintanco of n well-tO'do loatnor merchant
nameel Miller. Now , when ho oamo to the
city to make It his homo , this merchant took
him int o his family as n boarder. There was
u daugter Miss Hulon Diy Mlllor aim be
tween her and Gould an affection sprang tin
Which resulted In marriage whoa Gould was
nbout ofago.
Ills first Itnllroad Deal.
His father lii-law , Mr. Mlllor , had shares
in a railro.id from Rutland in Vermont to
some other uolnt. The shares paid no divi
dends uud ho asked hi * young son-in-law to
look Into the matter and soil the shares.
Gould did loo-k into thu matter but ho did
not soil the shares ; instead of that ho bought
all he could as well as the bonds , nil nt 10
cants on the dollar , lie now went lute the
directory of the road and became the presi
dent. The stock und bonds both advanced
iu price und out of tbU venture ho made n
fortune. Sneaking of tills thirly years
later , when ho was a witness before the Pa
cific railway commission , Mr. Gould said :
"I have been all my life dealing In railroads
thai Is , since I was ot ace ami always in
futures. The first rallroaa bonds I over
had 1 bought ut 10 cents Rutland & Wash
ington and not onlv my bonds became
good , but I sold m.v stock out at ? 1 'J3.1'
Though so young , hn wt s now asuecessful
man and soon started business ns n broker
in Now York on his own account. But ho
later forinod a partnership nnd controlled
the affaits ot tbo iirm ot. Smith , Gould &
Martin.
Mr. Gould has never boon a speculator in
stocks is the sense in which that term is
usually understood. Ho has , howtivor , un
questionably often aslonlshod the boldest
operators by his notion In this way. Nearly
always such operations have boon subslulary
to bomo largo campaign ho was carrying
out.
Upon ono occasion , when hi < adversaries
seemed to bo getting the Dotler of him In
every movov they boasted that they were
master * ana that flio great man was totter
ing previous to his fall. It bccatno apparent
to Mr. Gould lhat these men iroro being be
lieved , not only by the public , but by iho
bankers loo. Ho calmly ordered his general
man of ail work , Moroslni , to go to the safely
deposit vault and bring his securities.
Before dispatching Morosini ho in
vited the \Vall street reporters aud half
a do/.en bankers to come and see for ttiom-
selves whether ho ' 'baa gone broke. " Moro
slni , a gigantic Italian who fought with
Garibaldi , bad to mnlto several trips before
ho could fetch all tlio Wealth. At last it
was nil thcro nnd spread out for Inspection.
IThero were ? j3,000.000 of stocks und bonds
In lace value , unit they were of that charac
ter which money lenders call gilt odgnd. Ho
had in addition S2J,000,000 worth of lower
grade stocks.
Mr. Gould confessed that ho had boon a
borrower , but thu oanles hold collaterals for
ull his loans. His tactics surprised bis oopo-
nenls. It was so foreign from anything Ibis
socrelivo man had overdone baforo that they
could not understand It. But none of thorn
believed that Mr. Gould was bankrupt. This
was about 1SSU. Iio must bavo had at least
SrO.OOU.OOO then. His lirst vpiiluro In ttut-
land & Washington was exactly on the
lines which ho has pursued profitably for
many years. His next essay In railroading ,
however , was on a large scale , and it at
tracted to him tbo widest nosHlblo public
attention. Bvor since then ho has boon one
of the most notable actors in American
affairs.
How Iio Captured tlio Rrlr.
It was in the oanturo and administration
of Iho uftalrs of iho Eno Uallway company
lhat wo llrst see him in company with the
picturesque Jim Fisk and Daniel Drew. It
was in tins affair that ho lied to Jersey City
with a priutlng press and rendered old Com-
modora Vandorbllt impotent , for all his mil
lions. It was as nn oftlcor of Ibis company
that ho participated in thu speculations in
gold which precipitated the great llnnncial
crisis known ns "Blade Friday. " When
Commodore Vandcrbilt tried to got control
of llio stock of Iho com pan v Fisk , Gould uud
Daniel Draw Iho famous Brio Iriumviralo-
cnlmly ordered moro slock and bonds lo be
printed , and the supply was simply Inex
haustible.
His favorite ) method was to buy two 01
thrco unprolltablo properties nt very low
prices , unite them into ono larger company ,
and upon iho consolidated properly issue
"
bouas and stock and offer It"to tbo public ,
Mr , Gould stnrtod n company which bocni :
paralleling the lines between largo olllos ol
the Western Union and cutting rates. The
pi'olits of the big ccmnnny were sorloush
Impaired ana the stock declined In the mar
kot. Suddenly It was announced that Goulu
had acquired u controlling Interest ii
Western Union. The two companies won
consolidated nnd Gould has retained control
Ills favorite ) properties scorn to bo Wcstcn
Union and Missouri Paclllc. His fortune I
estimated at unvwhero from one to two bun
drud millions of dollars ,
It was whllo ho controlled tbo Wabasl
system lhat some inora timid assoclati
whllo dlscusslntr nn issue of bonds asked
"Don't you think you nro Issuing moro bond
than the property will stand 1"
"That may bo , " bo replied , "but th
American people are mighty fond of bonds.1
When Jav Gould found the wheel ot fet
tur.o fust locked , and vlth himself on tor
ho had built for himself ono of the mua
wonderful straw yachts the world has eye
seen , llo announced that ho would hay
nothing moro to do with speculation or th
acquiring of now properties , tut would dc
vote the rest of his time to taking care c
it what hn already had and to regaining hi
ar health , which was somewhat impaired
His yacht wus built and he used It as
o.id lorryboat between Nuw York atri Irvini
id ton , where for many years ho owned n mne
Jd us tilllcont country seat , Tuo condition of bin
Iness affairs did not permit bun to go fi
from the olllees whore ho directed the uffnli
c-
lit of hU Immense proportion. Unquestionably
l111 litl ! however , ho did withdraw from any of thi
111 speculation which had sometimes occuplc
him.

of look uftur the vast properties which by tli

lli u pronorty ho always went actively Into I
III
rn management , llo did not always take tl
jr-nUenoy , but ho olwuys dictated wl
htiould bo the directors und which dirocto

Tiir.so eonmilttoob In Mr. Gould's companl

IVnd always hud the full powers of any board
of directors , and they have usually been coi
s I posnel of men very near to Mr , Gould ai
all men whom he could btiinmon together at
momuut's uotle'o. By thu development
I\M irmdo himself absolute master of what
ever ho cured to bo.
From 133-4 to thU lmo some of the men
most honored lullltmnclnl and commercial
circles tmVo sat li | l\jn \ boards ot directors of
companies controlled bv Gould , and ho has
been In the directories of many of the richest

sullied in that bijintti where ho tie-oil en the
particular sorvlctroaih was qualified to clvo.
It bas therefore happened tbnt ho hn * kept
nbout him to n great extent the sanjo nion ,
both In hn nillwiiya nnd telegraph compa

ho thought was proper nnd deserved.
A Quint llumn 1.1 Co.
Mr. Jny Gould , from the time ho married
Helen Day Miller , more thnn thirty years
ngo , until now. hits tried sincerely to keep
hit family affairs from public observation.
It is true that his family has always been
( inlet , unobtrusive and bomc-lovltic , nnd
therefore thorn has bean ho good excuse lo
drag Its affairs before public sight , In
stature Mr. Gould wu- < short , not moro thnn
live feel live ittuhcs In height , nud ho was
slight , not weighing moro than 125 pounds.
Ho was n very dark man nnd there was
nothing whatever lu Ills appearance to catcher
or detain attention. Mr. Gould's marriage
was n love match and thn affectionate rela-
ttor , lasted till Mrs. Gould died In 1SSS.
Neither Mr. or Mrs. Gould appeared over
to have hud ntiy social nsplr.illous that is ,
aspirations to move und shine In that society
of rich peonlo nmong whom the Asters uud
Vundcruilts are pro-eminent. It seems cor
tnln that if they did nave such ambitions
they never tried to crntlfy thorn , for the
doors open very easily tu gnlilon kovs , and
the Goulds could have nffordod a whole
bunch ot such uuya any time these many
yours.
For a score or moro of veaw this domsstin
coiplo : made their winter homo in the house
built by ox-Mayor Opdyke nt fiiO Fifth ave
nue , jest across Fortv-soventh street from
the Windsor hotel. This is n largo nnd spa
cious bouse , being what is called by roul
estate dealers u housu and a half , U has
never been pretentious In its outward up-
pcnranco nnd docs not attract attention , ns
do some of Iho liner mansions built lu thnt
marvelous street of palaces during the last
decade , And it was very plain in the in
terior until u few years hgo.whcn Mr. Gould ,
while taking u trlu to liuropo , availed him
self of the opportunity to have It done over
from toj ] to bottom.
The family occupied the country spat at
Irvington ouch summer Irom the beginning
of Jttio : till late in October. For the'trip to
and fro Mr. Gould used bis fust steam yacnt
the Atalanla.
The house at Irvlngton U largo and com
modious nnd was evidently built with every
regard for summertime comfort and unpre
tending homo life. The glory of iho pluco is
thu grceiihouaos , of which there tire seven
teen. In those there is n wonderful colloo
tlon of rare nnd beautiful plants. These
mny not bo the finest In the country but they
nro not fur behind the best.
l.'hlldren lVh Mourn Him.
His eldest daughter , Miss Helen Miller
Gould , has had charge of the house since luo
death of her motlmr ,
Tnc oldest son , Uoorgo , T. Gould , has 'icon
very well known J/ij Now York for several
yours. Ho was boniabout 1S01. lie Is dark
like Ills father , btitcfearas to hnvo n moro
robust constitution nnd n livelier disposition.
Ho has since 1SS3 been his father's business
associate and most tntimctto friend. Ha
married Miss E'lith ' Ifingdon of Daly's thea
ter. She has retired from the theater and is
the mother of two sons. George Gould is ns
regular in his business habits ns the poorest
clerk in the smallest bank in the city , and bo
has , to a very great extent , overcome the
prejudice- the older men who have been
assoclutad in his father's companies. They
did not like that so youne n'chap should bo
put on boards of direction nnd made the
president of largej corporations. His father
for many years sceiuied to have implicit
confidence in his capacity and judgment.
The second sou , Kdwiu Gould , has also
'
pone into buslness'aml has been placed on
several boards. He , " too , is said to hove
great business capacity ami to have more
than once guthcredin monov from veteran
traders in .Wall streat. The third sou ,
Howard , and thoj iccopd daughter , Annie ,
are still at school ! *
Whatever also may hen-after be said of
Mr. Gould , itcan never bo said that he was
not a faithful and affectionate husband nnd
a devoted nnd iippreclativo father. These
who would love him had probably bettor
looic as much ns possible unon this aspect of
tbo Ufa of this wonderful man.

Ni'nrpr thn M.i\linir.
Two litinilred wandering mortals turned
their eve * toward * Iho light last night , and
will hcrnnflor try to keep tholr foot close In
the middle of the strnignt nnd narrow path
that ROOS down to the crave along with iho
assurance of n hereafter thil is moro ploiv
nut than the now. This wm In n largo ,
measure th result of the earnest exposition
made bv Evangelist MllU ot the need of
agonizing prayer and the good it would UK
when properly applied. Mr. Mills' ' remarks
woronbly prefaced by singing. In faot Mr.
Illllis ac\od as n sort of John the Unptlst ,
preparing the way with the good gospel
hyintis for the coining of the preacher ,
"Ninety anil Nine , " and "Throw Out the
Life Line , " going instead of the old original
cxtiortation lo flee from Iho wrath to cotno.
Ttiero was n tremendous Jam nt K < c petition
hall and the paoplo scorned to have greater
Interest than over In thei work. It was n
great awnUentnir the spirit , not nlono
nmong these who nro professedly believers
In the gospel of Christ , but with those In
whom the latent ilro of religion has
smoldered so long tint Its existence might
well bo questioned. Moro than 20J souls
were brought to book.
"And b-'lng In nn ngonv , llo pr.ivrd the
mnro. " words from the KCHIP | | nccordlng to
bt. Luke , was the text Irom which the
preacher drew bis discourse. Kxcltoniont Is
nn evidence of interest , snlJ Mt. Mills , and
In religious ns we-'l ' an other matters people
piovo the Interest then- have by their
earnestness nnd uirony of soul. Some churches
were so dead that It wojld bo urucltv to ask
young Christians to unlto with thorn. What
ihe Christian worl I needed wai n doop-r
concern for the souls of tbo unsaved. There
wus great potency In a tear , csucctollv tlio
tear of an earnest man or woman. It was
not strange that so many people dl.l not Join
the church. It was strange that so many
did Join , so cold nr.d unsympathetic were the
churchos. In closing the speaker urged
upon the professing Christians th.it they
lane upon tholr hearts the responsibility of
looltlng nftcr the salvation of thoao liftho
nui'ilcnco who wcro i.ot already saved. An
Invitation was extended to everybody to
rcuinii : and tnka part in the alter meeting
nnd nearly everybody accepted.
And then uhilo thu audiuuco was waiting
n hymn was sung , nud these of the nudlonco
who had in their iniiids ueoplo they wanted
prayer offered for were asked * onsu. Many ,
very inuuy , stood up , nnd nfto" n tou-miuuto
talk on the value ol personal effort in the
search for salvation , individual requests for
prayer were announced as in order , and Iho
blL'gcst prayer meeting ever held in Omaha
wa cominoncad. Several hundred requests
wcrj made in a very few moments. And fol
lowing this camu the invitation to shako off
the ways of sin nnd take up the lifo of u
Christian. All over the hall they gel tin.
men nud women , young , old and
middle-aged , from door to choir , nn-
nouncua their intention bv standing
up then lo stand up lor the Savior
over after. Brief prayor.s were offered , and
then the work of gathorlntr the nnmes nnel
addresses of these who had made profession
of penitence was commenced , nnd 2iCi were
taken. A brief special mooting for tlio con
verts was held , nnd the audience was dis
missed.
Thorn will bo no mooting today at Exposi
