Hill , Victor U Culdwcll und others , was filed In the su prcmo court today , The defendant Insists that the court has not original jurisdiction cither ot the subject matter or of the persoi of the defendant. He admits receiving ccr tlflcates of deposit , but denies receiving any cash more than J300 or $100. Ha admits that funds of the state came In , but denies that they came In cash. Ho cannot state the amount that came In at the beginning nor during the continuance of his term. The money that came In during his term , he states , came In In the form of drafts am was so paid out to various banks , ninont , them the Capital National bank. When he was succeeded by the present Incumbent , J S. Hartley , the funds of the state which had been paid In and deposited and not drawn out amounted to $28r,357.8G. This amounl was then In the Capital National bank. All the business , ho says , was done by his deputy and the bank knew that the checks and drafts were state funds. His term , he says , closed legally January 5 , 1893 , but at his successor's vote had not been canvassed ho made no change until It was done , Janu ary 14 , when ho handed him certificates ol deposit for all funds. Among these was a certificate of deposit of the Capital National bank for $285,357.85. Ho says that two weeks before the IClh he had prepared a list ol banks In which the money was deposited , and that the Capital National was approved by him. Ho also claims that Treasurer Hartley , between January 16 and January 20 , could nave checked ont the entire amount and did check out $30,000. The Capital National bank was made a state depository by Treasurer Hartley and the state ofllcers , and the money there deposited became then state funds subject to the check of Mr. Hartley. What has happened to the bal ance of the money the defendant docs not know. He now claims that he has no claim whatever over the money , but that It rests with the state and his successors In ofilce. Ho further states that there has never been a safe method ot keeping the state moneys except by the batiks , and that he simply fal lowed the example of his predecessors In using them. Ho denies all other allega tions made. FOR THK MUSEUM. Adjutant General Gage's military museum received a valuable addition yesterday In the shape of a donation from Henry N.

PALMYRA , Neb. , Aug. 7. ( Special to The Bee. ) The results of Rev. C. W. Turrell's Injuries from the outrageous assault upon him at the republican primary are more serious than at first supposed. There Is a three-cornered cut Just above his left eye , which was made by some blunt Instrument , as his physician has no hesitation In de claring. Subsequent to this assault D. L. Loper. who was defeated for county treas urer last fall , made an attempt to assault Mr. Turrcll , nnd was only prevented from doing so by being threatened with arrest. He applied to Ttirrell the vilest eplthnts and threatened him with great Injury , and in fact did strike him a light blow In the face. This whole outrage , Including the fraudulent manner of organizing the primary , Is re pudiated by the best of the republicans here. They regard these outrages as a fitting cul mination of the abuses and chicanery car ried j3ii for years by a gang of chronic of fice seekers whose patron saint Is Tom Majors. It Is openly predicted that no man nominated for any office by this gang can bo elected. i > i.Moi : > uvr.s mvimi : > . Antl-ltrj-iin Dolpgitticm Kloctmt to the State L'niurntloii.

BOWERS PLATO THE DEED ii Sheriff of El Foso Countjf-tho - Ringleader In the TuisneVTarring. MURDERER RELEASED ' "TO TAKE PART i ) t- - Dopuly Sheriff \Vllii < ijirVlio } Put on Such n Hold rrnnthen Arrested lit City , l odkviM nml Mnkei a 1'ull DENVnil , Aug. 7. TliV'Ncwa ' today pub- Ilslics a full confession mh'ile by Joe H. Wil son , the El I'aso county deputy slicrlff , who was captured by Adjutant General Tarsney In Missouri. Wilson ha * felven to Chief of 1'ollco Armstrong the names of all of tha men connected with the outrage committed In Colorado Springs a few weeks ago. Wilson was brought back to Denver at noon yester day by Olflcer Cross and ho spent last night In the city Jail. On the train going to the Springs In the morning ho weakened and told everything that ho knew of the affair. In his story of tha experiences of the event ful night the names of Sheriff Dowers , Dep uty Sheriff Hob Mulllns and Captain Saxton of the Colorado Springs mllltla company were often mentioned. Ho confirmed the story that a murderer out of the El Paso count ) jail was nlloHtxl to help put the tar and feathers on Colorado's adjutant general , Kvery detail of the tar and feathers affair Is now In possession of the Denver ofllcers , and , however high a position the offenders may hold , they will ultimately be brought to justice. Wilson's confession clearly Illus trates one point that Is that the crime was committed by the | x > lltlcal enemies of General - oral Tarsney ami that the criminals were not the outcasts of the Dull Hill army , but men of higher standing In tha community. According to Wilson's story the men en gaged In the disgraceful enterprise were Sher iff Dowers , his deputy sheriff , Deb Mulllna , Captain Saxton of Troop A. Sergeant William Bancroft of Troop A , Deputy Sheriff J. It- Wilson. Deputy Quackenbosh , Sherman Crum ley , Walter Crumley , "Shorty" Allen , Smith Shellenbcrger , and perhaps ono or two others. Including a woman. The police now have three confessions those of Wilson , I'ar- kor and a prisoner In the 121 I'aso county jail , who Is being held as a witness to a murder committed In Cripple Creek. These men will all be brought before the grand jury now sitting In Colorado Springs. Their evidence has been corroborated and all of the mystery of the great case 1ms been exploded and It stands In Its nakedness , a disgrace to the state of Colorado. Wilson fears that some day he will receive a coat ot tar and feathers similar to the one ho helped to put on General Tarsney. Pro tection was promised by Detective Eales. Then Wilson demanded that ho should be taken back to Denver at once. This also was agreed to. Then he tola his story. HATCHED AT GILLETTE. The conspiracy was a germ born at Gll- letto and which continued to grow until Tarsney was found ungarded In the Alamo hotel. The deputy sheriffs at Divide heard the false report from Denver that Tarsney had uttered the remark , . 'I hope that every man In Dowers' army wll ) bo shipped home In a collln. " The nlght the mllltla arrived at Gillette and camped near the deputies Wilson , Allen and others'backed up by Deb Mulllns and members of. the company from the El Paso club , arranged a scheme to kidnap Tarsney on the spot , 'bUt ' for some reason this was abandoned.u ; On the day that Tarspey appeared at Colorado rado Springs for the ) purpose of assisting In the defense of the Hull III11 prisoners , the conspiracy to kldhap him was formed. It was freely dlscussed-iii the county Jail and the sheriff's offlae.r and when once It received official support If , progressed. A signal was agreed , upon. It was an nounced also most publicly that all who de sired to take part In thei plot should meet in a saloon on Tojon 'street and enter with tholr right hand stuck'-'lif' ' the vest. Ac cording to Wilson's stpryf Sheriff Dowers furnished to Deputy Sheriff Quackenbosh tar and Mrs. Quackenbosh prepared the feathers , ripping open a largo pillow. Dowers , In addition , ordered the release of the Cripple Creek murderer and ordered him to follow Deputy Sheriffs Allen and Shellenbarger. Deputy Sheriff Deb Mulllns hired the hacks from the two Crumloys and ordered them to drlvo to the Alamo hotel. Ho paid them In advance. Wilson headed the party which went Into the Alamo hotel , and he confessed that ho was the man who poked the gun In Tarsney's face as Tarsnoy came down to the olflco to answer the telephone. Dancroft. Alien and Smith were the other men In the hotel office. Saxton , Den Mulllns and the others waited outside. Wilson described the drive out to the opsn prairie , and he said that most horrible threats wore made against Tarsney. Ho was told that ho was being driven to a place of execution , where ho would bo tortured to death. His captors gleefully told him that they would first quarter him and then chop off his head. Tarsney asked for his life , as any man would do under the circum stances. On arriving at the place of torture - turo Tarsney was dragged from the hack by Allen. Dancroft and Wilson and told to strip. When ho was Informed that his life would bo spared ho shook hands with his persecutors and thanked thorn. Wilson said that ho got tar on his hands that night and so did Saxton , Dancroft , Allen and the rest. The general was left alone , nearly crazy , to wander over the fields. Ono result of Wilson's confession may bo the release of Jack Mulllns. Wilson says that Mulllns started Into the conspiracy , but did not appear on the BCCIIO at the ap pointed hour. Chief of Police Armstrong confirms the report that Wilson has made a full confes sion as related In the News.

Lake Shore express train No. 13 , arriving from the west , pulled Into the union station this morning after hav ing undergone a most thrilling experience on the plains ot Indiana. An attempt was made last night to hold up the train at ICesslor , Iml. , upcn the Iden tical spot that the train was held up last fall. The train was just approaching n split switch at Kcsslcr when the engineer noticed that the switch was turned so as to run thr > train on the siding. A big obstruction of ties and lumber was piled upon the siding a few rods ahead of his engine. The obstruc tion did not appear to bo Impassable and the engineer put on all the steam and dashed through the pile , passing safely on to the main track through the split switch at a high rate of speed. As the train passed the obstruction I ho pn- glnecr noticed a group ot masked men , who fired several shots Into thG train , none of which took effect. The United States express car was at tached to the ( rain and had on board a largo amount of money. It Is thought that this was known to the desperadoes who attempted to hold up the train. Their disappointment In carrying out their plans of stopping the train with the fibstructlon upon thu track was evinced In their firing ot shots when they paw their plans had been frustrated by the boldness of the engineer In dashing through the heap of tics upon the track.
