Richmond on Trial Before Judge Shiras in

Judge Shlras presided at the session ot the
federal court held yesterday afternoon for the
trial of W. S. Richmond , until recently sec
retary of the Union Building and Savings as.
soclatlon. Richmond wore two large diamond
mend ; , each of which , If genuine , must have
been worth several paid up shares of stock.
J. W. Muflly and J. L. Crawford , who are
alio under Indictment , were Interested spec
tators of the trial. On account ot the fact
that J , J. Steadman , clerk of the court , and
his deputy , A. S. Hazelton , were both more
or less Interested In the outcome of the
case , C. M. Harl was appointed special com
mlssloner , and attended to the work of drawIng -
Ing Jurors and the other light duties that
usually fill Mr. Steadman's spare moments.
Most of the afternoon was taken up with
the drawing of the Jury. Every candidate
for the Jury box was put through a severe
questioning , particularly by S. F. Prouty ,
one of the attorneys for the defense. Each
one was asked It he had read the Iowa State
Register , which has been extreme In Its de
nunciation of all three defendants , and par
ticularly of Richmond. If he had , down he
went. At last twelve men were found \\1io
had not , and the Jury , when each side was sat
isfied , consisted of J. L. Atkins of Prescott ,
Grant Harris cf Clarlnda , W. II. Robinson
of Mondamln , W. S. Potts of Sidney , George
W. McCold of Panama. W. W. Mickelwalte
of Glcnwood , W. G. Markcnscn of Shenan-
doah. J. P. Ward of Malvcrn , C. R. Benedict
of Shelby , J. E. McGuIre of Audubon , N. E.
Wilson of Red Oak and W. H. Bosley of
Anita.
In his opening statement District Attorney
Fuller said that Richmond was charged with
using the malls In furtherance of a scheme
to defraud the public , by Inducing them to
buy stock In a concern which ho knew was
Insolvent. Ho went through the history of
the concern briefly , stating that Richmond
had aided In the deception upon the public by
Issuing a statement which showed the com
pany up In much better shape than It was.
Ho transferred money from the loan to the
expense fund , thus depriving the stockholders
of tlio profits wtilch should have been turned
In as the result ot loans. In this way Richmond
mend was enabled to pay himself and the
other defendants large salaries , and he ex
pected to show vouchers signed by Richmond
himself for $3,200 expended. In attorney's fees
paid to Richmond.
Ho mentioned an Incident In Des Molnes
and another In Burlfngton where parties hold
ing stock wished to withdraw and Richmond
held tlio money. Office loans were also made ,
and one time $13,000 worth of stock was paid
for out of the loan fund , and the stock was
Issued to Richmond. False notes were used
In securing loans on supposed lands In Da
kota , but the land bad no existence , as I
was afterward learned , and the mortgages
which wore supposed to secure the notes had
never materialized. When Richmond took
charge of the association Its expense accoun
commenced to grow , nnd It grew steadily
from October , 1892 , to January , 1894. During
that time the expenses exceeded the cxpensi
fund by $40,000 , and all this amount mus
have como from the loan fund. Bonds t
the amount of $15,000 were Issued , and thi
the district attorney said was another shady
move. Of these bonds $0,500 worth wen
found In Richmond's hands. Loans to tli
amount of $27,000 had disappeared when tin
receiver took charge , and the paper could no
now bo found.
W. L. Heed of Des Molnes made the open
Ing statement for the defendant. He held
that the government would have trouble In
proving that there had been a "scheme de
vised" within the meaning of the statute. Ho
maintained that the failure of the association
was duo to the prevailing hard times. Every
one wanted ready cash , and the stockholders
withdrew their stock , whllo tlio association
was flooded with applications for loans. Ho
thought the defendant might bo charged with
mismanagement , but not with criminal acts.
No larger salaries had been paid Richmond
and his fellows than were paid the officers of
such organizations.
When the statements of the attorneys had
been made , court adjourned until 9 o'clock
this morning. The probability Is that the
trial will not be completed for two or three
days.

AvoliU Penitentiary Sentence by Having a
( looil Itrputatlan I'rtivloiuly ,
The motion of A. A. Edglngton , convicted
of making a false deposition In support of the
claim of his mother , Mrs. Jennie Edglngton ,
for a pension , for a new trial was overruled
by Judge Woolson yesterday morning , and
ho was sentenced to pay a fine of $1,500 and
the costs of the suit. An exception was
noted , and the case may go to the supreme
court.
There was a warm legal battle between
the attorneys for the defense and the United
States district attorney when the case was
called , Smith McPherson filed an amended
motion for a new trial , but It was combatted
by the district attorney on the grounds that
the permission of the court had not been ob
tained , and It contained new matter. The
court overruled the objections , The affidavit
of A. W. Askwlth was then read , setting
forth that George Hart of Clarlnda , a petit
Juror , was drunk Sunday during the progress
cf the trial. Judge Woolson , however , held
that the Juror's condition Sunday cut no fig
ure , unless It should be shown that the ef
fects of the Intoxication lasted over Into the
next day.
An allldavlt of A. II. Harris of Missouri
was then read. Harris stated that he saw
Hart drunk Monday , and noticed liquor on
his breath. Jamea Esslngton , another juror ,
said that he noticed that Hart was sleepy
Monday. The attorneys for the defense filed
affidavits claiming that they had not known
of the matters set forth In the affidavits ol
W. H. Coon and bis wife until last Satur
day. The court was not Inclined to give very
much weight to the contents ot Coon's affi-
n > vlt. however , and cajlcd attention to the
fact that on cross-examination Coon's testi
mony as to Edglngton's giving : his father's
name as Maurice F. Edglngton was very ma
terially shaken.
District Attorney Fullen said that the defense -
fenso had claimed they knew of several per
sons who could iwear to Hart's being drunk
and having a fight In the Kiel barroom Sun
day , but would not testify unless compelled
to. An order ot court had been made ap
pointing a commissioner to take their Hate-
\ . inenls , and now came In without a slngl ;
affidavit In support of the original statrmenl
made by L. T. Genung. He read George
Hart's affidavit , In which he stated , that he
drank no liquor after Sunday morning , anil
had no liquor In his room all day. He was In
his room all Sunday afternoon and evening ,
He never bad any convetiatlon with Qcnuot
In which he had made statements anything
like those with which Ocnung had credited
him. Harris did not smell any liquor on
till breath Monday , bccauie he had not been
drinking. He was not sleepy R-t any time
during the trial.
In support ot till statements affidavits were
read from Charles E. MacDowetl , the fore
man ; George E. Jpnss , S.cott Johnson , Hart's
room mate ; McComb , Arbuckie and other
members of the Jury , all ot whom declared
he was * sober as any one.
Fullen then proceeded to read affidavits
which he had secured , from Mr. and Mrs.
Coon Monday night. Mrs. Coon swore that
the affidavit she had signed before A. L.
Preston In Avoca did not correctly tct forth
her statement ! , and admitted that In sign
ing It she hid only told what she believed
and not what she knew. Coon swore that It
ho were called upon now to testify he would
say Just what he said before the grand Jury
at Kcokuk and on the wltnets stand In this
city.
city.Theso affidavits were BO diametrically op
posed to those presented by the defense that
they caused something of a sensation. At
torney McPhcrson asked the court to put
Mr. and Mrs. Coon upon the stand , that they
might bo made to tell what they meant by
making these conflicting statements. At
torney Shea stated , In a somewhat passionate
speech , that It could be proved , that the week
spent by Hart In the trial of the case had
been one long debauch. At this point the
court Interfered and ordered him to desist
from such remarks. McPhcrson's request
for a chance td cross-examine Mr. and Mrs.
Coon was refused.
In making his decision Judge Woolson said :
"The question whether the books were ob
tained from Mr. Coon before or after Mrs.
Edglngton's claim had been filed with the
pension department , Is , ot course , material ,
but even granting that Coon's testimony on
the stand was false , there were other false
statements made In Edglngton's deposition ,
none of which could be explained away by
any change In Coon's testimony , that with
reference to young Edglngton's having been
at his father's burial , for Instance. The
charge of drunkenness made against Juror
Hart 1s the first of the kind ever preferred
against any Juror since 1 took my place on
the bench , nearly four years. The testi
mony la conflicting , Genung , Harris and Edg
Ington going one way , and seven or eight of
the Jurors the other. It Is only a question
of preponderance of testimony. If the court
were sitting as a censor ot public morals , It
would have something pretty sharp to say
about a juror who would get drunk on Sun
day , but that Is not the court's function
Taking It all around , there Is nothing In the
record to Impeach the Juror's ability to try
the case and render an Impartial verdict , and
the motion will bo overruled , "
Edglngton was then brought before the
judge , and said he had nothing : to say. The
ourt said that the statute allowed a sen-
once of from one to five years In the penl
.entlary , or a fine of from $1,000 to $5,000
lo did not consider the offense so aggravated
, s some , and that fact , with the Jury's recom
mendatlon of leniency , and the young man's
> r vous ! good reputation , had decided him
not to Impose a penitentiary sentence , but to
make the punishment a flno of $1,500.
ivrlt of supersedeas will be allowed In case
ho defendant's attorneys wish It , and file
he bond of $4,000.
The prosecution and the defense allki
emed to steer clear ot one tblng throughou
.he whole proceedings , and that was the
name of the man with whom Hart wai
claimed to have had a fight In the Kiel ba :
oem Sunday morning. The secret of tlieti
action In this regard was that Hart's n lie get
rlctlm Is a young man who comes of a good
amlly , holds a position In the employ of th
government , and last , but not least , Is a
good democrat , like all the attorneys for th
prosecution and the defense , with one ex
ceptlon. A great deal of political pressun
has bcn brought upon the defense , so Mr
Genung states , to have the young mm'
name kept out of court , and the pressure hai
.ho desired effect.

A man named Payson , who lives In Sioux
City , sent Sheriff Hazen a telegram asking
him to arrest his wife and her mother , Mrs.
Chynoweth , who had run away from his homo
together and come to Council Bluffs last
Thursday. Since their arrival they have been
stopping at the residence of Mrs. Payeon's
sister , Mrs. Joseph Frye , at 120 West Broad
way. The sheriff Investigated the case and
found Mrs. Chynoweth , but she at first re
fused to tell him where her daughter was.
The younger woman was finally produced ,
however. She said her husband had utterly
failed to support her , and to his neglect
had added abuse , pinching and striking her
at his own sweet will until she and her
mother had decided to run off and leave him.
She exhibited some black and blue spots on
her arms as proof of her eataements. The
sheriff wrote to Payson , telling him to file
an Information against his wife If she had
done anything wrong , give the warrant to
the sheriff of Woodbury county and he would
arrest her , but he refused to put his foot Into
a domestic broil on his own hook. Up to
last evening no word had been received from
the Infuriated husband.

"I have come to ask you , Mr. Brady , what
you think of the business outlook , " said a
reporter on the May day edition on entering
the office of McCord , Brady & Co. , nnd lookIng -
Ing quite frightened , alter a rldo from the
ground floor In a freight elevator.
"I have noticed , " Bald the gentleman ad
dressed , "a decided change ton the better
these last two weeks , since the recent ra'ns. '
The coming year could not leeR more hope
ful , and I expect by fall to see things as
prosperous as ever. As yet the dealers
throughout the state are ordering cautiously ,
but more frequently and for larger amounts.
I have above nil things , confidence In Ne
braska and In the energy and push of Ne
braska's people. I have been In this state
for years and 1 have seen Its various con
ditions. Of course this year and the year
before were as bad as can be , but aside
from the drouth this state has not been be
hind the others ; and then there was the
grasshopper year. These or disasters Just
as bad are things which will come now and
then to every locality. 1 know the people of
this state and I feel they can compete with
any other. "
" \Vo never made more money than last
year , " said G , E. Shukert , the wholesale
and retail furrier.Vo have been In
Omaha for eight years" and have never had
a more extensive business than last year.
Our sales among the towns throughout the
state were large ; anil we are preparing-
heavy orders for the coming year. I con
give you no special reason for this only that
fur was fashionable last year and will be
next. "
RUBBER WILL BE HIGH.
"Wo have had great sales on mackin
toshes , " said Frank J. Coates of the Omaha
Tent and Awning company. "At present we
have thirty-six people at work and moro or
ders than wfo can fill. Ot course spring Is
our busy season , but I look for n good year.
For the coming Iho years rubber will be
very high. When the new growth of rub
ber trees begin to yield the price will sink
again "
Charles II. Plckens of 1'axton & Gallagher
says like the others that a marked Improve
ment has been noticed during the last two
Neeks , "Take Nebraska ICO miles west of
he Missouri and she can compare with any
: ountry. I see no cause for great anxiety
'or the coming year there Is nothing to
.varrant . It. Enough moisture has already
'alien to carry the small grains through. "
Mr. Peycke of Peycko Bros , says he cnn-
iQt see why people are building such hopes
'or ' the coming year. It Is too early to begin -
gin rejoicing , for the state of things last
ear up to July was Just as hopeful.
Arthur Shlverlck of Charles Slilvcrlck &
'o. was very loth to express himself , He ,
lowevor , said the pales last week were the

them. The retail men all seem willing to

cast our fortunes with Nebraska , and we
know what wo arc doing-
Amos Field of the IlcmrJEon ( ! Jrqg com
pany says they have the usual number of
men on the road and they are looking for a
prosperous fall trade. Orders are coming In
better the last few weeks.
ALL WAITING FOR FALL.
T. J. Rogers of Milton Rogers & Son said
many times during his Interview : "Last
year was nn exception. " He thought It too
early to form nn estimate of the coming
year. "Wo are all waiting for fall. " "Yes.
orders arc coming In bolter the ) last few
weeks , but the retail men are all buying
light. Our business has been directly
affected. There was little building and
hardly any call for hot air fixtures and
mantels.
"You want to know about the1 , music busi
ness ? " said Adolph Meyer. "Well , I have
hopes for It doesn't It look like It ? Here
I have opened and taken one of the best
corners In Omaha and I Intend to make It a
success. There Is a call fcr a wholesale music
house In Omaha. Oh , yes , Ma got dis
couraged , but I could not let the music go.
Wo have made very good sales out of this
city Just this last week. I sold and shipped
several pianos Into the state. " Mr. Meyer
took a Hat of signatures and said : "Hero ! s
something that I am proud of. I am bring
ing Ysayo to Omaha. But he won't be here
until long after your May day paper Is out
lie comes the 31st of May. He
came In November , and 1 opened
correspondence with his manager In
September. It has always been my
endeavor to bring the best musical talent to
Omaha. " Mr. Meyer has Ysaye's photograph ,
but It Is not as handsome as many think
him. It seems Iho great violinist Is a
bachelor. By the way , Mr , Meyer gave the
correct pronunciation of the puzzling name
as "E-soy-e. "
Scmuel Gamble , the clothing man , reports
a great falling oft In the high priced and
taller made goods. The cheapest goods sell
best.
best.KatzNevlns
Katz-Nevlns claim an Increased call for
overalls.
"In such times as we have been having , "
said J. B. Rahm of the United States Supply
company , "no other business , perhaps , has
suffered more than one branch of ours , steam
heating and plumbing supplies. Up to the last
two years our business was very heavy
throughout the country , the towns were put
ting In water works , and this gave a cjll
for plumbing , and steam and hot water heatIng -
Ing followed ; but this has been cut off lately.
In another line the drouth has benefited us
and caused an Increased demand for steam
pumps and windmills. I really believe that
times are Improving. "
NO FISHING TACKLE.
The bicycle men have not suffered and the
factories cannot fill the orders fast enough.
George E. Mlcklo of the Nebraska Cycle
company says : "Hard'ttmes have Increased
a certain demand fomwheols. Many men are
buying wheels becaubo they cannot afford to
keep horses. " Mr.Townsend / of the Cross
Gur company said about the same , and add' ]
ttat the demand for wiprtlng goods has falhn
off greatly. The men < poor fellows , will come
In and look around at the tackle and sued
things , and then shako their heads and say
"I can't buy them , II guess that I can make
my old tackle do until times get better. " <
It was cheering to listen to what I. W
Carpenter of the Carpanter Paper company
had to say. "Now , look at this , " the gentle
man said. "Could anything be more encour-
aging. I have hcafd from many of thi
towns , and the farmtrs dre paying for theli
teed In cash , and barro-Alng money Is rare
Some people are letting the present state
of things make thj-nT pessimistic. Be as
cured of It , Nebraska Las a future , and yoi
will bo proud of hit some day. Take tin
eastern part of the stiite.-iand no more pros
peroua country lies west of the Mississippi. '
Then Mr. Carpenter jpoke of the paper trade
The uiual number of .men are on the road

rylng Omaha goods clear on to the Paclfl <
coast.
coast.When
When Mr. M. E , Smith , the wholesale drj
goods man , was accosted he said very sol
mnly as he turned away , "I do not want t <
express an opinion. "
Rocco Bros. , the wholesale fruit men , said
"Things have been pretty bad , but they an
picking up of late. Fruit , like all the lux
urles , has suffered much In the financial de
pression. The banana vendors have done thi
best business these hard time * . If you wan
some news about fruit I can say that Call
fornla cranges hate fallen In price , and wll
continue to be cheap ; and there will be plentj
ot parB , apples and peaches the coming year
and at reasonable prices. Lemons will In
high during the summer , and there- will bi
very few pluma and apricots from California
I know the farmer * are beginning to t
hopeful from the way country orders arc
coming In. "
"Wo have seventeen men on th ro d , "
said Julius Meyer , "and the ordering U fair.
There Is a marked Improvement thcs lilt
( wo weeks. No , I do net find the cheaper
grades of goods replacing the higher. Table
ware has sold fairly well. I do not core to
say much on this subject ; It would bo ct little
matter. "
" 'We ' have done better than I expect . "
said the senior member of the wholeialo
Jewelry firm of Relchenberg-Smlth company.
"We opened last January , when everything
looked the bluett , but we have kept three
men on the road , and have had'a fair amount
of sales. You might say hard times give
birth to fads and novelties , most likely be
cause they are cheaper than the regular line
of goods , mostly In watches. "
E. , A. Dayton said heavy silver has been
most sparingly purchased the last few years ,
and that the call for novelties Is Increasing.
Oysters sold the tame as ever , the Omaha
branch of the Plait Oyster company says.
"The city tales were about the same , but a
decided falling off was noticed In the country.
Very little fish was eaten this last Lent In
Omaha. Omaha Is anything but a fish town , "
the representative said. "I do not think
there Is a placeof Its size In the union where
less fish Is eaten. "
"Our orders have been pleasing through
out , " said the representative of the firm of
Dcwey & Stone. "Wt look upon Omaha as
the great distributing point of the future.
I firmly believe that this city will yet be
come the greatest wholesale center In this
half of the union. Take the older wholesale
houses of this city , and they carry tliclr
trade out as far as Montana and Arizona ,
nd Idaho. This last year wo have furnished
, number of hotels In those states. I see no
eason why our wholesale houses should not
: arry their trade to the Pacific coast , and I
now the time Is not far distant when they
hall , When t'ne Platte canal comes through ,
ou shall sec Omaha the great manufactur-
ng city of the west. As for eastern No-
iraska , no country on earth can surpass her.

nan who knew the whole face of this earth ,
The soli of this state Is the richest on the
lobe. ' "
J. P. Cooke & Co. , the stamp supply men ,
re opening a wholesale aluminium business.
The novelties on hand are odd and beautiful ,
"nit Nebraska , as yet , has not taken much
nterest In the new metal. The aluminium
luslncss farther cast Is reported as doing
xtrcmely well all It needs , Its heralds say ,
s to be once Introduced.
It seems that home Industries are not pat-
onlzed as they should be. A factory of
tore fixtures has been In Omaha for
ears , but has lately passed Into the hands
f a receiver because the business was given
o Chicago houses.
Mr. A. T. Rector sold : "We are heartily
: lad to co-operate with 'those women , ' to
ivhom the apostle Paul paid so glowing a
rlbute. In their effort to advance so nobly
mrt worthy a cause as the Interest of the
'resbyterlan hospital of this city , and we

"Wo business men , who spend from eight

BESSJE HIGGINS.
Omaha's Muiriiiflcriit I'ntnro.
Omaha has an excellent record as a city
whose growth Is rapid but substantial. Plat
ed as a town In 1851 , It has stood the test
if prosperity and adversity many times In
uccesslon , until today wo have a city of
JO.OOO population , engaged In the various
iiirsults , making our city's fair name prom-
nent among the leading cities of the world.
Yet Omaha Is still In Its Infancy. Its re-
ources are Just beginning to bo developed.
Its business men are beginning to realize
he great advantage of combined action. Its
Ights are being recognized and claimed , Its
active citizens arc united , and all are workIng -
Ing for Its Interests , knowing that what helps
Omaha helps them Individually , as well as
collectively.
Its railroads are following the settlers
hroughout the great west. Its Jobbers and
manufacturers arc hustling for trade. Its
corporations are laying aside their petty
Jealousies. Its newspapers have ceased quar
reling , and are now a benefit to the city.
Its bankers have ceased to depreciate realty
ralues ; Ita mostbaclts' complaints are drowned
n the hum of llfo and activity. r
Its representative men are men of action ,
not the farmers who came here years ago
expecting to farm the balance of their life.
True some things might be changed. Its
street railway company might be more metro
politan ; Its paving contractors might do bet
ter work for loss money ; Its water works
charges might bo cut In two ; Its union depot
might materialize In the near future.
Its realty values have taken an upward
: urn ; Its population Is again rapidly Increas-
ng ; Its public schools and colleges are second
end to none In cities of eqaul population ,
'ts religious organizations are Its pride.
Its parks and boulevards are lovely spots
for recreation , and will bo more frequented
and appreciated when they can be more con-
velently reached. It Is one of the healthiest
cities In the world , and the most orderly In
the west ; Its business men are satisfied with
trade , and the prospects for their future
were never eo bright as at the present time.
The fertile fields of Nebraska and of the
great west now show abundant proof that
the crops of 1895 will bo greater than ever
In the history of this country , and , with the
progress of Irrigation , such a thing as a
crop failure will never again be experienced
by the Inhabitants of the west.
The great Nebraska State fair will be held
In Omaha this fall ; the greatest state fair
ever held. The aim will be to present as
fully as possible the products , manufactures
and possibilities of Nebraska. During the
fair the business men are planning to cele
brate the Feast of Mondamln. The great
Platte river canal will place Omaha In the
front ranks of the manufacturing citiesof
the country. It will solve the fuel question
and make Omaha In the west what Buffalo Is
or will be In the cast. There Is no reason
why wo should not manufacture all the
stoves , wagons , wire , twine , agricultural Im
plements , furniture , etc. , used In this great
west. We want rolling mills , boot and shoe
factories and numerous other factories that
glvo employment to labor the year around.
Many ot the Industries can be built up seas
as to rival the smelting works or car shops
In the number of employes. The Platte river
canal will do this and more. It will double
Omaha's population , and furnish steady em
ployment to all who will work , not only for
the present , but for all time to come.
The Jobbing trade of Omaha Is on the rapid
Increase , and with the great wave of Inunl-
gra\lon ot desirable people from the east that
la already setting this way to settle on the
fertile , arable and Irrigated lands of the
west , business men will need no other In-

\Vai It Murder or bulclileT
Albert A. Egbert , (9 ycnri ot nge , was
found dead In the rear ot Ms residence , 416
North Forty.flrit street , at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning. Ills wife WAS
awakened by a noise , and , on going
to the door , * .i\v her husband lying on the
ground. The fnmlly was arouied , Dr. A. 11 ,
Sommcrs MAS called and an examination dis
closed Uvo bullet holes through the Ictt
breast.
There are tno theories as to the cause ot
the death. One , that of murder , which
seems to be substantiated by circumstances.
It U claimed that Mr. Egbert could not Imvo
had strength to fire the second shot , and
that , oven It ho did flro It , ho would not
have had strength left to throw the revolver
to the point at which It WRR found , a dis
tance of thirty feet from the body.
The other theory , that ot suicide , Is sup
ported by the fact that the bullets were flred
from close range , OR ts shown by the burning
of the night shirt , nnd also that only the two
bullets found In the body could bo discovered.
The revolver , when found , disclosed the fact
that two bullets had been flred , leaving one
loaded shell , t\\o empty ones and t\\o spaces
In the cylinder.
In the case of the Inquest on the body ot
Albert A. Egbert , who was found dead In
his yard yesterday at 3 o'clock a. m. , the
Jury adjourned to meet this afternoon , at
which time the report of the poit mortem ,
held by Drs. Sommora and Urldges , will bo
handed In. The post mortem Is to deter
mine the location of the bullets and the cali
ber of the revolver.
