Bhooting of E. 0. Htmia Is Still Shrouded

THEORIES THAT HAVE BEEN ADVANCED
1'ulleo III Doulit .1 * \Vlietlier It'n * a Cmv
of .Murder , Milrldn or Aerlilenlut
Shooting--The Dnrrlopmrnl * ,
of Venlerilnj- .
The shooting of E. C. Harris became no
ICSM a mystery througn yesterday's disclos
ures. The police put In a good share of the
day looking up the case , but without making
any discoveries Unit would throw much light
on the causes of the rash act. It was
thought at llrst that It might not bn a case
of suicide at all. The theories of murder
nnd accidental shooting were advanced. A
man who formerly worked for Harris stilted
that he considered Harris a man who might
recklessly examine a loaded firearm until it
went off , but this theory has but little to
recommend it. The path of the bullet was
from the forehead Just above the eye
to the back part of the head In
an almost horizontal direction , and this
would Indicate that the weapon war held up
to the forehead In the way In which It was
thought dcath'would most surely follow.
The theory that ho was murdered for
the purpose of robbery is but little more sat
isfactory. The men at the ofllce of Hussell
& Co. state that but very little money passes
throuifh the office. .Nearly all the collec
tions are made In the form of checks or
drafts , which would bo worthless to any one
excepting the ono to whom they were made
pajable. The company did almost no busl-
n'SH at all In the rity. For several months
last almost alt the deposits In the bank had
iceii mndo by the Ixiokkcepcr , who also
igned most of the checks. The papers on
ho do.tk , bv which Harris was found , were
undisturbed , so that the theory of murder
eemcd to be out of the question.
Theory ofSnlcnU' .
The theory that it was n plain case of stii-
idc accordingly seems to bo the only ono
hat will bear investigation , and the police
lave been trying to snlvo the mystery con-
lected with it and show the cause. So far
heir efforts have been In vain. It was
bought that possibly Harris1 business mat
ers were in bad shape , but as thorough an
xamination as it has been possible thus far
o make puts this supposition out of the way.
larris was noted among his business assocl-
ites for his methodical way of attending to
its concerns , and lids characteristic was
veil manifested in the way the papers were
irnmgcd upon the desk behind which his
inconscioiiH body was found lying. They
veni piled up with the utmost neatness and
regularity. Nor was he regarded as a spend-
hrlft who would be apt to make Inroads on
he firm's money to pay his private bills. Ho
lro\v a good salary and never seemed to be
spending us much as ho earned. The book-
cei'per states that the books arc in perfectly
straight condition and that a shortage is
impossible.
The only theory for which there seems to
> e any ground whatever is that there was a
voman in the easo. H is stated that be had
been in the habit of visiting Omaha fre-
inently , and that ho was often seen iu com-
t.my with a woman who formerly lived on
: hls side of the river. What the name of
ho mysterious woman is or where she lives
.s a complete mystery. It is thought that if
she could be found th'ero might be some-
ihir.fr ascertained from her which would
cad to a solution of the mystery.
As stated yesterday , Harris was extremely
liackward about confiding In any ono. Even
ihoso with whom ho associated most state
.hat they never heard him sav u word on the
subject of "woman , " cither in general or in
m'ticular. Ho kept his own counsel with
regard to the Omaha woman just as com-
tlutcly as ho did in all of his other affairs.
Ho was never considered surly , but when
tddresscd by any ono with whom ho was
thrown into contact ho always replied
pleasantly. Ho seemed to bo not so much a
: nisanthropo , who was disgusted with men
ti general , us a man who felt his ability to
get along without any close friends.
' IIU Itelutlveu.
All of Harris' relatives , so far us known at
Ills end ofitho line , live at Masstllon. O. Ho
ivns a stepson of J. 1C. Hussell , presi
dent of the company for which he
was working. Word of the unfortunate
occurrence has been sent to the Ohio
relatives , but no reply had been.received
yesterday afternoon , It is expected , how
ever , that a representative of the company
will come out as soon us possible to take the
management of the business. The mother
of the dying man Is said to bo very old and
feobli ) , and it is feared that the announce
ment of her son's misfortune will endanger
her life.
All day yesterday Han-Is lay on a cot In
the private ofllce on Pearl street , breathing
hcaHy , but totally unconscious , During
the morning h is pulse strengthened , and the
men who were caring for him felt a few
glimmerings of hope. But the Improve
ment was only temporary , for ho soon
commenced to sink rapidly and at 5
o'clock the beating of his heart
could scarcely bo noticed. All the morning
visitors were denied admittance , but in the
afternoon his physician stated that ho was
beyond all harm from that direction , and the
doors were opened to reporters and a few-
other callers.
Nothing in the shape of a message was
found in his papers , although n search was
made.
Granting that the theory of suicide was
the correct one , it seemed that the satno
desire to keep everything to himself followed
him even to the brink of the grave. A
search at his room iu the Grand hotel was
equally futile.
The weaiNin with which the deed was done
was taken in charge by Chief of Police
Scanlan. It was a new 118-callbcr revolver
of a cheap pattern , und had apparently been
purchased especially for the occasiot.
At H o'clock last night Harris was still
alive , but.that was all. His breathing was
very much weaker than during the uftor-
noon und his pulse was Imperceptible. His
physician had been there n couple of hours
previous and said that he might live some
tlmo.

HOME , Fob. 12. The committee of the
Chamber' ' appointed to consider the subject
las reported in favor of delivering Deputy
bl to the public prosecutor to bo dealt
vlth In the courts on tlio charge of having
ccelved large bribes to induce him to sup ;
> ort the interests of the Banca Komana in
ho legislature. The excitement regarding
he bank scandals Is increasing.
It was reported in the Chamber of Depu
tes today that Slg. Tanlongo , the im-
irlsoned governor of the Bank of Home ,
Hid given evidence to the examining mugis-
rate against several of the most conspicu-
us statesmen in Italy. Proof was said to
luvo been found that Tnnlongo had pro-
ided three Italian premiers with money to
> e spent in the public service. In the lust
ow years these sums had aggregated 5,000-
H)0 ) francs , most of which had been spent to
strengthen the government in the chamber.
Sig. Ciuieri , after alluding to these reports ,
iskcd the government whether or not there
vas truth In the current report that the min
sters had used the funds of the Bank of
{ omo fcr election purposes.
Sig. Gioletti answered that he must dc-
; linc to consider seriously such calumnies
and therefore ignore the Interpellation.
The Marquis de Htidini , who Immediately
irecedcd Slg. Gioletti us premier , in a spir
ted speech , defended himself against the
suspicion of having received any part of the
000,00 ( ) francs , said to have been paid to re-
'cnt ' Italian premiers. Ho had never ,
lirectly or indirectly , he siiid. received a lira
Train the Bank of Home , either for private or
.mblic purposes. His bunds were as clean as
.hose endeavoring to calumniate him. Ho
ourted investigation and hoped that the
hamber would Institute immediately an in-
julry into his official career.
Sig. Tanlongo's papers have been sent
: o Paris to prevent their coming Into the
Kinds of the examining magistrate. It is
said that before the removal of them they
were offered to the Vatican , which was ex-
iceted to use them against the liberals. The
Vatican , however , refused the offer.
Sig. Seesa , a lawyer , was arrested here
Ibis evening for having acted as intermedi
ary between Deputy Xerbl und the Bank of

ceived 400,000 francs In three years.

Pn.niiMO , Feb. 2. The body of Slg.
Kolnbartoll , ex-mayor of this city and ex-
.lireetor of the Bank of Sicily , was found to
day beside the railroad line near the Aeta villa
station , ijo had been killed by repeated
lagger thrusts. Investigation by the police
: ias revealed the fact that Sig. Nolabartoli
lad started on a railway Journey last even-
ug. As the train passed Aetavllla two well
dressed men wcro seen to enter the car
riage occupied by the ox-mayor. It Is sup
posed that these men were seeking revcngo
ni > on Sig. Nolabartoli for some real or
funded wrong , and that when they entered
the carriage their object was to kill him.
It is presumed that after ho was stabbed
to death the body was thrown from the car
riage window. The carriage occupied by the
murdered man shows evidences of n desper
ate struggle. There is no clue to the mur
derers.
PT.Sig. Notaburtoll at the time of tno murder
was returning homo after collecting rent
from his tenants. Two servants and two
gendarmes who had accompanied him to
protect bun wcro in an adjacent cur
when the murder was committed.
The compartment which had been occupied
by the victim was found splashed with blood
and showed signs of a violent struggle.
There were twenty-six potnard wounds in
the victim's body. All of his money und his
watch wcro stolen. It is believed robbery
was not the motive for murder. Police be-
llovo that revenge wns the rcul motive.
They suspect some local notables as the mur
derers.

HliMiifua , Feb. 2. The three sailors of

a fourth to keep from starving to death ,
have been arrested on the charge of murder
based on their own confessions. Some years
ago a man was tried nnd acquitted on n sim

law Is that it rests on the accused to show
supreme necessity as a justification for the

Pauline Hall was the original Ermlnle
when Poulton & Jncobovski's opera was
tirst given tlio public at the Casino , New-
York , ami played that character during its
entire run of upwards of 1,000 nights. The
character is especially well suited to the ar
tist , and her characterization is said to bo
imply perfect. "Puritania" was specially
written for Pauline Hull , and the character
of Vivian , K.irl of Barrcnlund , introduces
the artist as a chlviilric young lover full of
lire and dash. Mr. C. M. S. McLellan , the
librettist , is one of our most noted wit and
liuinor writers known to Journalism today ,
while Mr. Kdgar Stilhnnn Kclley , the com
poser , \\ellknown iu the musical world for
iiis originality und skill in harmony.
The language is crisp and bright all through
Puritania , " and the music abounds with
catchy gems and melody , prominent among
which are "My Mother Said Don't , " "Will
You Bo Mine , " "The Tiger of Tungaroo1
etc. , ete.
Miss Hall has surrounded herself with a
cast of unusually capable artists , und the
forthcoming productions give promise of
being the most Important of our season's
amusement.
