t
In Attempting to Arrrit Wllllitm Cnrnnlmn ,
n Old OITeiuler , n Driver of Una
of the CurrliiRcn , II * U
Amniillcd.
A vnrtntlnn from the program of the
funeral of llttlo Vcra Wlthrow was the
c.iuao of an almost unlimited amount of criti
cism yesterday afternoon , and , if the state
ments of Mr. Withrow , nn Omalm livery-
mnn , are to ho liellevo'd , the police Imvo yet
to hear the closing chapter of the nffulr.
\Vllllam Curnahnn , n hack driver , was ar
rested by Onicor G. I * Martin several
months ago nnd on trial was convicted ot
drunkenness. As ho was leaving the
x-ourt room ho called out to Oulcor
Martin , Informing him that ho would
cot oven with him. Justice Vlon , who was
holding court that morning , thereupon called
him back and sentenced him to thirty days
on thu chain gang. Caruahan piled the nick
and shovel for a few days nnd then skipped
to Omaha , where ho has been over smco.
' 1 ho police hnvo been patiently waiting for
his return , but , never hud a chance to lot
thulr optics fall on him until yesterday
afternoon.
Annulled.tlio Officer.
Ciirnnhan was sent liv Mr. Wlthrow to
this sldo of the river ta drive a hack contain
ing six of the mourners to Falrvlcw como-
tery. The police got wind of the fact that
ho was here , but decided not to tuko him
In custody until ho was on his return
from the cemetery. Tnoy lay in wait
for him atthocornarof Bryant street and
Washington avcr.uo , nnd as ho passed Ofllcor
Murphy ran out and ordered him to stop.
Ho evidently surmised what was wanted ,
but instead of stopping whipped up his
horses. Murphy Jumped on the back end of
thu hack nnd llimlly climbed up onto the
top. In the meantime the vehicle had gouo
several blocks. When Carnahan saw that
Murphy was intending to get him ho reached
around and dealt nliii u torrlllc blow on the
head with the butt ot his whip , dazing the
ofllccr nnd almost knocking him senseless.
Carnahnn then Jumped from the hack and
ok to his heels
The horses wcro ilery animals , and It was
only Murphy's presence of mind In climbing
forward to the sent nnd seizing the reins , in
- spite of hln half d\zod ( \ condition , that pre
vented the people wno were riding In the
.hack from being seriously , if not fatally ,
injured.
CariiMhui Arrested.
Officer Cousins was Informed of what had
happened , and. getting in a.bugay , gave
clmso to Carnahan , overhauling him finally
in the suullowcrs near the corner of Seven
teenth street and Sixth nvouuo. Ho was
charged with assaulting an onicer , nnd will
bo tried on the charge as soon as ho has
completed his sentence on the chain gang
for Ills old offenso.
Mr. Wlthrow. the owner of the hack , was
Indignant at the action of the oftleor in
climbing over hij hack , scratching up the
varnish that had been put on but n day or
two before. The fact that the hack was
being used at a funeral aggravated the
Injury , and what made it still
worse from Mr. Withrow's stand
point vas the fact that ho Is n
relative of the parties who were riding in
the vehicle at the tiuio of the occurrence.
Ho says ho ineaus to find out before he is
through with it whether any onicer has a
right to try to arrest his driver while
oniclatlng at a funeral , and , besides putting
the mourners in a very embarrassing situa
tion , dolnjr actual damage to his property.
Ho threatens to have Murphy arrested.
Murphy's injury is a very painful ono , but is
not thought to bo serious.

A. W. Askwith commenced a suit In the
district court yesterday which reminds n
good many people who Imvo reason for being
acquainted with ouo Charles Haldane , who
formerly practiced law hero , that there Is
still such a man In existence. Daniel Dull Is
the defendant , in the suit , and Askwith , who
claims to hold an assignment of claims from
Haldane , wants iv judgment for 10,000 at
torney foes. Dull , it will be remembered ,
was interested In the case of Dlnckman
against Wright , which was tried at the last
tonn of the district court In this city. In
this suit Mr , Haldnno was quite n prominent
f on turn by reason of his sharp and stirowd
manipulations.
In his petition Askwith alleges that be
tween September , 1802 , and May , 18Ua , Uul.
ilnno acted as attorney for Dull , and In that
tlmo Dull managed to run up a bill of $3,015
for legal information pmvhubod at Haldano's
emporium. Ho also alleges that Dull and
Haldano entered Into an agreement by which :
the former was to pay thu latter < 50 a week
for the period of ono year , in return for tbo
assignment of sotno property in litigation In
Now York City , and as Dull failed to pay
him his weekly stipend during the year , ho
wants $2,000 on that deal. Five hundred
and titty dollars Is all ho admits having re
ceived from Dull , nnd so his entire hill runs
up to 10,005.

Judge MuGco rendered his decision yesterday -
day morning In the case of Charles Ware-
ham , whoso trial on the charge of making a
beastly exhibition of himself has been on for
Boveral days past. It was a decision which
would seem to bo an eye-opener to this class
of offenders. There were three charges tof
the same kind , and a flue of $100 was levied
, lu eacU cue , the hoavlott fl-.o that could bo
Imposed for nn offense of the kind. The
cost In the three case * will run up to nearly
another $100 , nnd In default of the
1400 , which Wareham would have lo
raise to pay his fine , ho will have to
remain In the county Jail for about four
months. Ho was Identified as the guilty
party beyond the shadow of a doubt and
during the trial other evidence was Intro
duced which showed him to bo n bnito of
oven n worse character than was at first
supposed.

A deal was consummated yesterday by
which Council BlulTs will secure ono of the
largest enterprises that has over set foot
within Its borders , For months negotiations
have been pending looking toward the con
solidation of the four warehouses of the Me-
soC
Cormlck Manufacturing company of Chicago
nnd the removal of the entire concern thus
formed to this city. The warehouses nro
now located at Dos Molncs , Lincoln , Omaha
and Kansas City. The McCormlek people ,
through their representatives in this city ,
hnvo been casting about for a location for
the mammoth building which will bo erected.
The property they llnnlly chose Is located
near the corner of Tenth nvcnuo on South
Main street. A largo portion of It belonged
to the Palmer cstatn. and the tltlo was far
from clear. The perfecting of the tltlo was
n matter that took weeks to accomplish , and
that Is the reason the fact of the re
moval has not been allowed to bo an
nounced to the public through the pa
pers. U has been several weens since
it was practically decldedithat Council Bluffs
should bo the future distributing point for
this mammoth concern , but the company
was not willing that the announcement
should bo made until the tltlo to the prop
erty should be cleared up and the deeds
placed on record , when there would bo nn.
dancer of a backset. Yesterday all the pro-
limlharlcs were completed , the deeds were
placed on record and the removal Is now an
established fact.
The plans for tho'buildlng have already
been drawn und the -work of erection will
probably bo commenced within the next
three weeks. By the terms of the coutraut
the buildings now on the 'site are to bo re
moved wltnin ten days. The building to no
erected will bo 8UxMO ! feet In slzo nnd live
stories high , the lot being 100x270 feet.
Shipping facilities will bo afforded by the
Union 1'aclHc , Northwestern. Uock Island.
Kansas City , Milwaukee and Burlington
roads , all of which hnvo tracks in
direct communication with the site.
A twenty-foot platform will extend along
the east sldo of the building throughout
Its entire length. It will bo by all odds the
largest jobbing establishment In the city ,
and Its capacity of WH ) carloads of intplo-
mcnts will make it a suitable headquarters
for what is probably the largest institution
of the kind in the west , if not In the whole
country. The people of Council BlulTs are to
bo congratulated on the success df the nego
tiations which will glvo the city an enter
prise of such magnitude , for it is another
recognition of the unsurpassed shipping fa
cilities of which Council Blulfs can boast.

|
Accused nttho Scene ol
the Crime.
AYOCA , la. , Sept. 1. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEE. ] It Is now quite apparent that the
defense in the Mawhor case is to bo nmdo
along the theory that the death of wife No.
5 was the result of suicide. Every effort is
bolng nmdo by the attorneys for the defense
to form a case along this line , and every
scrap of testimony that in any way tends to
strengthen the theory Is called In and care
fully made tlio most of. In the hearing to
day this plan was inado very apparent , great
stress bolng laid on the testimony of wit
nesses to the effect that on the second hear
ing before tlio coroner of Fremont county
Mawhor had clalmo' ' his wife haO told
woman acquaintances of her intention to
kill herself , saying that twice she had tried
it and her courage had fulled when she had
put the cilp to her lips.
Evidence was admitted to the ofToct that
onoof Mawhor's hired men had complained
that ho could not stay on the place because
of the wifo's animosity she having boon In
censed at him because ho refused to accede
to her advances , The court refused to allow
the state to go into any inquiry concerning
the aeath of wives Xos. 3 and 4.
Kvidonco or tlio Day.
The testimony taken In the forenoon was
Unit of a man named Smith , who worked for
Mawhor. Ho testified that Mawhor hud
told him that another hired man
named Smith had been forced to
quit his omplov because Mrs. Mawhor
had used him dcspitof ally , nnd had assigned
as a reason for her conduct toward him that
she sought his company as a bedfellow. Two
other witnesses testified that Mawhor told
thorn the Bamo story. It was also brought
out that at the November meeting of the
coroner's Jury Mawhor asked leave to testify
that on the night of Mrs , Mawhor's death ,
when lie wont after a light ho found on the
table In the kitchen n cup he had not noticed
there boforo. Mawhor also said to the
coroner at that time"\liat \ his wife had told a
Mrs. Edgorton and another woman of her
intention to kill herself , but tint on the two
occasions she had 'undertaken ' the act her
courage tind fallea her at the last moment.
Minor testimonygoing to show that Maw
her and his wife lived together happily ,
without . ' that ho
quarrollnjf.'and was pre
paring to leave tho'fnrm ' and go to Kansas

testified to having inndo un examination of
the body of the deceased woman , nnd not
ilmling any cuts , brulsus or any other causes

make l.'J grains of commercial
strychnine. At the close of the
testimony thn crystals produced from the
organs on chemical test were placed
on glass slides and compared and
tested with known strychnine nnd found
beyond question to bo strychnine.

because of no notice bolng given to
the adverse party of the examination
by which method another cheinlit could take
