3 THE OMAHA DAILY BEEi' TUESDAY , MAY 14 , 1895. H ! . HELD ON A SERIOUS CHARGE Myaterioua Man Who Has Made the Benson Road a Terror , ABRAHAM LAl'DIR ' GOES BEHIND THE BARS Accused of Ilelnjf nn A ntlnnt of Young Girls Ho U Arrc/itcil on A Warrant Itimcil l y .fustics Croiby Luudcr's Htory. Abraham W. Lauder Is lodged behind the 6arg of the county Jail awaiting arraignment upon complaints charging him with criminal assault upon two young girls , Amanda Locke and Magg'e Carlson. The complaints have been filed with Justice Crosby and are two In number , the charge of attempt to crlrrinally assault Miss Locke being laid upon May 3 and the assault upon Miss Carl- eon on May 9. H has been known for some time that young girls who dally travel over the road from Omaha to Benson and Irvlngton were In danger from the attacks of some villain. As long ago as last September the sheriff's attention was called to the case of n criminal assault upon Anna Swanson , who lives at Forty-first and Izard streets. Who the man was has remained unknown. The description which Miss Swanson gives of her assailant , however , tallies closely with that given by the last two victims. According to their story of the crime , a man , In each case In a buggy which had three spokes gone from one hind wheel , and drove a light colored sorrel horse , has been the assailant. It was owing to this description and further details relating to the man that resulted In the arrest of Lauder being made at his home yesterday evening by Deputy Sheriff Hosen- zwelg and the lodging of the complaint today. The attack on Miss Locke It seems was made on May 3 , while she was going from Omaha to Irvington. Toward evening , having fulled to make connections at the end of the Clifton Hill car line , she started to walk , when a man passed In a bugy and slip asked If the might ride. Ho drove on the Benson road until ho reached Tletz's park when ho turned north. She said : "You're not going to Benson ; I will get out. " The man remonstrated and told her that ho was , but wished to call on a farmer on the way. It soon began to grow dark and In decent proposals were made by the man. A fierce light followed and In the struggle to free herself Miss Locke took the hair pins from her hair and pierced and scratched her assailant. Finally he struck her a blow In the breast and she fell to the ground whtlo the man drove awny. Mr. Snyder's house Is In the Immediate vicinity and there the girl remained that night. A search for evidence as to who the man was followed , though the whole matter was kept secret as much as possible. One strong piece of evidence Is the torn block derby hat of the assailant , the rim 'having been completely pulled off In the strupsle. This will be produced at the trial ns evidence against Lander. The sheriff has It In his possession , though when arrested Lauder had on a new straw hat. Last Thursday morning Maggie Carlson , who has been working for Frank Hlbbard , had left Benson for Omaha and reached Twentieth aand Cumlng streets about 11 o'clock. While standing at the corner nt _ tlat point she was accosted by a man In a 'carriage , wl.o , she says , she noticed had been watching hpr. He asked her If she knew of some street in the city. She did not. Then he csked her where she was going , nncl she said to the Boston store. "Why I am going there myself , " ho replied , and In vited her to get Into the carriage. As the man was of rather an unassuming address the girl consented. She states now that she became nearly insensible , as thougl1 she were mesmerized or given a powerful drug. The man drove west , going toward Druid Hill , the scene of the former attack on Miss Locke. The girl protested against being taken In that direction , but the driver , she declares , wanted her to go and work for his folks , near Irvlijgton , and she consented to go and sec If she liked the place. She seemed In'atuated and thought there would be no harm. As they approached the timber "at the old Chapman place , though It was midday , the girl became alarmed and wished to get out of the carriage. In the struggle which followed she was considerably Injured and remained unconscious In the woods for three-quarters cf an hour. Miss Carlson says that shn does not remember very dis tinctly the Incidents , further than that she fought and was choked. Her description of the horse conforms to that of Miss Locke , though the assailant had on a new straw hat Instead of the rim torn derby. Mlts Carlson Is 20 years of ago and the daughter of Carl Carlson , a farmer living near the Big Paplo. Evidences which will be produced on the trial consist of descriptions of the harness , T jllh. it I1 ! stated , was padded In a peculiar malinefT The road supervisor win testify , It IB understood , that he saw the buggy driven by Lauder shortly after the time of the last assault , as the supervisor was then at work repairing a bridge near Florence. Lauder had lost his way and had to go across a pasture when seen. Fathers of the girls concluded that Lauder was the man and accompanied the officer to his home Sunday evening , The man , the horse , the buggy and the harness corresponded to the descriptions given. Lander Is a yeast manufacturer , whose place of business Is at DOC South Tenth street , and "when asked to put on his hat It was found to be torn as the one complainant had said she had torn that of the man with whom she had the struggle. Owing to these facts the parties who ac companied Rosenzwelg were so positive that th right man had been found that they became very menacing and the deputy states that ho feared to take the prisoner out to b-3 seen by the girls , because he suspected that If they Identified him violence might bo attempted against him. Lauder was arraigned In justice court at 12 o'clock and pleaded not guilty to each charge. The Justice granted him tlmo to secure $500 ball on cnch case until the preliminary hear ing. He declares that he never knew either of the girls , or their parents , or any of the people living In Benson or Irvlngton , or In that vicinity. He denies the crimes and says at the times mentioned In the charges he was at home. He has for six months been driving a yeast wagon and has lived In Omaha nine years. William Lauder , a brother of the accused , went his ball for his appearance on Wednes day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Neither of the girls appeared to Identify Lauder , as was expected , owing to sickness on their part , The state has summoned Martin Tlbke a ; n witness. H Is understood that Tlbke will claim that ho was In the vicinity at the time of the last assault , and will try to Identify the assailant. CHICAGO. March 28 , 1801.

The little village of Mlllard refunded Sun day with happy "frisch , frels" from many Turner throats and the entire populace ot the town vied with ono another to extend welcomes and courtesies to the visitors from Omaha , Lincoln , Plattsmouth , Fremont and other places. It was a bczlrk turn day , which for success has seldom been equaled within the history of the Nebraska district. Omaha furnished the largest contingent , seventy-five gymnasts , bears ana other Turn- vcreln members having left the Turner hall at 7 o'clock In the morning. On their ar rival at Mlllard they were received by the local society and ireaied to refreshments. The remainder of the forenoon was devoted to wand exerciser. In which all the visiting Turners participated. The evolutions were gone through In a manner that Indicated thorough training. In the afternoon the program consisted of apparatus turning In three sections. One of these was under the leadership of Prof. Kum- merow of this city , whllo In structor Carl Rothfuss of Lincoln headed the other. Altogether the.exhibition turning was very creditable. The rest of the day was spent In enjoying a sociable time , such as IB customary on occasions of this character. The young finished up the day with a danse at Arff's hall , while the staid old bears found recreation In foaming lager around the tables. Not until a late hour did the last of the Omahas depart for home. A new bear division was Instituted during the day und several members were Initiated Into the mysteries of beardom. When the last carry-all containing the re maining Omaha contingent returned at 11 o'clock Sunday night the vehicle met with an accident In the vicinity of the Plate fair grounds. The night being dark , the driver miscalculated the width of the newly graded and narrow road. One of the lead horses was precipitated down an embankment about flv ? feet , dragging the wagon after him and upsetting It. The occupants were all badly shaken up and received more or less Injury. Those suffering most were Gottlieb Blattert and Herman Bcselln. Th ? former Is reported to have sustained a compound fracture of one of his arms , while the latter received a severe Injury to his back. It required SD.TO time to right the wagon and the party did not reach town until a late hour. Leo Bennlnghoven and wife were also Of the party , but both had lucky escanes. Sunday's turner gathering was the pre liminary to the annually recurring Bczlrks turnfest , which this year Is to bo held at Plattsmouth , beginning June 23 and terminat ing three days later. a B 8i SSQ ; i9 S5 ® 35 3 Si I find the ROYAL BAKING POWDER superior to all the othersiin every respect.

"You can't bulldoze this court ; you can't bulldoze this case through. " As these words were uttered by the Judge of the crim inal section of the district court In nn ex cited and heated frame of mind the attor neys for McCabe , who Is engaged In putting In his defense In the arson case , were as much startled as the audience listening to the progress of the suit , > Uertha Winter Is a niece of McCabe. She Is about 12 years of ago and lives with the McCabes. The defense regards her as one of the most Important witnesses it has , depend ing upon her testimony , In connection with others , to show that McCabe at the tlmo of the fire was at home until summoned by the fire reporter. To show that McCabe was not dressed , as the state had testified , she was asked by the defense , "How was McCabe dressed ? " The court refused to allow the question to be put the witness. "You know better , " he declared to the attorneys , "und you can't bulldoze this court. This court Is not to bo trilled with. If you ask any more such questions I will order the witness off the stand. " The defense explained that its object was not to trine with the court , but hoped that the Ire of the court would be visited on the Ignorance of his attorney , not on the client. The Judge was assured that In view of the testimony already offered by the state It was believed that McCabe had a right to show by specific questions that he was not dressed as the state said he was. "I assure your honor , " said the attorney , "that I am not lying when I say that I believe I have a right to show that McCabe had no collar or stockings on when he went to the fire. " "I don't Insinuate nothing , sir , " snapped the court , wheeling about In the chair am growing red In the face. "I said you know better , and this court Is not to be trilled with. " Attorneys who listened to the episode ex pressEil great surprise at such a recon being made In a criminal case and point ou that the questions were framed to specifically combat the testimony of the-state and were also relevant , and further , that the wltnes was a child and was entitled to have plain questions propounded. Other witnesses sworn were M. A. Pol lock , Albert Ilothery , and L. C. Winter. They w.re called to prove the alibi of McCabe testifying that he was In McTague's untl 11 o'clock , after which time membsrs of th family testify that he was at home unti summoned to the fire.

It I alcng this line that D. H.

Whe-ler denies that no ever owned an stock at all , though ho admits that some wa taken out In his name. He says that whll he was the president of the Douglas Count Agricultural'society It was thought advlsabl by the association and K'chard S.

When Stlmmel failed last year confessions of Judgment were made by him to several Individual creditors for about $34,000. Emersion takes the position that Stlmmel , In liquidating these claims , has used assets of the seed firm In which he was Interested and which did business under the name of Phil Stlmmel , the same as Stlm mel did on his own account.

Both filed notice of ap peal and gave bonds for their appearance In the district court. As there are nearly a dozen similar cases the attorneys propose to make a test case of this one. These men have been accus tomed to dump garbage at the point desig nated and without molestation , as It was believed to be across the Iowa line until a recent survey established the fact that It was on Nebraska soil.
