8 THE OMAHA DAfLY BEE : 3TJ1DAY , NOVHMIHDK 25) , 180i > . WILLIAMS IS IN CHARGE Witness Against Spoorl Has Keeping of tlio Jury , HIS INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME PLAIN rcrforniliiK Work for the County Attorney Mint OfllHul DIsnitiiH Any Hoponl- lillll > for III * Conduct. TTp to last night there was no Intima tion given that the Jury In the Spoerl case had any Intention of agreeing upon a verdict. Judge Scott remained about the criminal court room all morning , waiting for the return of the Jury , and finally left for his Thanksgiving dinner , to return again In the ofternoon. In the meanwhile the Jury spent the morning In Us room In the mysterious operations In which all Juries arc engaged , went out to n good Thanksgiving-dinner and then returned again to the room to plunge Into the aforesaid mysterious operations oncu more. The Jury Is In the hands of JlallllT Wil liam ! of the criminal court and It Is a llttlo difficult to see why ho lu permitted to handle It. It Is no secret about the court house that If Williams does not really want to see Spoerl arid Frank aciiultud he has at least Intimated as much. Ills Interest In the case has been to evident that he was called us a wltnoM for Spoerl Wednesday , but neverthe less when the coso was given to the Jury that night the twelve men were turned over to Williams. Ucildes being a balllft of the criminal court Williams IB a sort of assistant to the county attorney , being engaged In making out papers for servlcs and doing routine work AH such he apparently considers himself ROnethlnK | of a factor In the ofilce. When the cases against Spoerl and r'l.ink were dismissed gome' time ago the cilice was Rc\crely criticised and Williams took it upon himself to make a defense. At that tlmo ho said that he did not think that there was much In the cases anyway. Ho remarked that almost all of the witnesses for the state were far from bfing trustworthy and that their characters were such that not much credence could be placed In their evi dence. 'His Interest In defendants went so far as to lead him to charge that the cases ngilnst Krnnk and Spoerl were nothing more than a part and parcel of a political scheme , and he Intimated that there would be rejoicing somewhere If the two men 'were acquitted He said In mysterious terms that the men be hind the prosecution were not at nich a char acter that they could throw stones and that the charges had been brought because of per sonal spleen , IlETUACTKl ) A LITTLfi. When Williams had gone as far as thli he was Informed that his views did not appar ently coincide with those of the county attor ney. The latter had frequently remarked tha' ho had a strong casa and that ho had some pride In bringing about a conviction on the evidence lie had on hand. Williams then took water and attempted to retract what he had said. He remarked that guilty men ought cer tainly to bo punished , but the former words had been spoken. The county attorney had knowledge of the fact that Williams had bson talking through his mouth very extensively , for he saljl that ho could not bo responsible for what tbe Lalllfr hail stated. Nevertheless ever since the Jury In tht > case was empaneled Williams has had more or less to do with It. If there was any additional reason re quired , however , why Williams should not bo allowed _ toTS " inlnghIn nny way wfth the Jury , T-S J9MMt.-Tu"rn during the course of the Wi trlitrtt'edncs when , ho was called as a wlt- ncs3 ) for tbs defense. Two of the strongest witnesses In the case against SpoErl were Officers Vanous and Col lins. They had been detailed by Chief of Police White to keep ths count cf the num ber of dogs drowned during the month of August. Theywatched the pound every day In the month from 7 o'clock In th ? morning until G at night. The count , ay mnilo by them , was not moro than one-half of that made by Spoerl and Frank , and carrssponded with the count made by Detective McQuIro , who watched the pound from another point In watching the pound the two men were stationed on the Iowa side of the river di rectly opposite. At times , usually when the drowning occurred , they used an opera glass , but thlu was not very strongly brought out In the trial. In consequence the defense spent considerable time In attempting to weaken the testimony of the two men on the ground that they could rot tell what was Kolng on at the pound on account of the dls- tanco and particularly would not be able to count the dogs drowned. NO TnOUDLK TO SCR. The county attorney sent two men to the river Wednet > Jcy after the point had been brought out. When they returned they went on Hi ? stand and pworo that they were able to plainly discern objects on the- opposite side .of the river , could distinguish the various limbs of a man's body , and thought that they would have been nblo with tlio naked cyo to distinguish the body of a dog thrown a distance of eight or ten feet. This was the distance that dogs were thrown from the drowning box after the drownlngs took place. The defendants , liowe\cr , did not take this courho of obtaining evidence to suppo'rt their contention. They obtained a witness out of the county attoiney's olllce , Williams. Williams swore that ho had , looked over toward the Iowa side of the river from J-lda to side , that ho saw a man there , and that ho was unable to bay what hu looked like. He said that In his opinion It waa Impossible to distinguish the body of a dead dog from any other object. Ho said ho bad gone to the bank on Instructions from the county altoiney. After the witness had left the 8'tand the county attorney paid that he had never sent Williams to the river , and that Williams had never reported to him any ob servations that he made. Wllllanls ex plained that ho had nude observations Homo months ago when'he. had gone down to the river during the search for Seljun's body. The most remaikuble thing about the mat ter , however , Is that despite thesa facts , the Jury was given to Williams. Ho took earn ofllio members until they re- tlreil. Ho has had charge of them before. It IB no secret that the bailiff has oppor tunities of speaking to Juroru Individually If ho so desires. _ Ciitiirrli In ( InIlcnil Is due to Impure- blood and cannot bo cured with local apllcatlons.

Library nml llrnilliir Hontn One of Hip I'oMnllilllflrH , Considerable business WAS transacted at the meeting of Central Labor union Wednesday night. After the meeting had been called to order by President Fisher the reports of the various committees were In order. A pro longed discussion as to the dale and place for the next annual ball resulted In the selec tion of Washington hall , and January 13 , as the time. It was resolved that the hatters union be furnished with red labels , pro vided that members had union cards In their possession showing them to be In good stand ing. ing.A A suggestion was made by John Kulin that a reading room be established by the Cen tral union for the use of nil organized tradesmen In the city. Mr. Fisher stated that he had made Inquiries on the subject and had found that n suitable room could be secured for $11 per month. He thought that the costo \ the different unions would be trilling , considering the benefits to be derived. He had talked with II. C. Waller and It was thought that the writing desks would be furnished by merchants for the ad- vcrtloliiK which they would derive there from , lie thought possibly the carpets and other articles of furniture might also bo secured by donation , If the mutter was properly placed before the public. It was proposed to place a cigar counter In the room , the proceeds of sales to bs ussd In defraying expenses. A committee composed of Waller , Kennedy , Kleffner , Carrlgan and Julius Meyer was appointed to Investigate the matter and perfect arrangements. A communication was read from J. Kauf man of the Musical union , stating that the Durant Hnglne company had advertised a bill and that It would employ union musicians. This was denied by Mr. Kaufman , he stating that nonunion men had been employed to furnish the music. He requested the Central union to support the- Musical union In refus ing patronage. A letter wns read from the Holler Makers union , requesting the central branch to sup port George H. Hcnkcll for the position of city boiler Inspector. A letfr wns requested from the secretary , recommending him to the mnyor as a competent man. It was resolved that the secretary be Instructed to request that the mayor appoint only union men as In spectors. A circular from a Detroit labor union was received. In which It was stated that William Strauss would probably visit this city during a tour for the purpose of collecting funds for the striking cigar makers of Djtrolt. It was decided that he be receUed and assisted by the local unions. A letter was nextread from the secretary of the N'pbrarka State Federation of Labor , In which It was stated that a committee com posed of H. H. Overall. Osorgo Christopher and II. S. Thomas had been appointed to ar bitrate the trouble now existing between the Knights of Labor and the Central Labor union. In connection with the Musical union. In which It was charged that the Knights of Labor had employed scab musicians at one of their balls. The approval of committee was requested , A long discussion followed , which finally resulted In a resolution that the State Federation of Labor be requested to call upon the head officers of the Knights of Labor and ask them to revoke the musicians' charter , and that then the Knights of Labor would be reinstated In the Central Labor union. Resolutions were adopted that the Central Labor union endorse the action of the Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners In Its en deavor to remote the city Jail and police court from Its present quarters to the city hall ; that the voters In the trades unions ? be requested to support the free colnigc of sil ver ; that the Central Labor union appoint a special committee to wait upon Hon. W. J. Urjan and request him to deliver a lecture at his earliest convenience upon the subject of "Relation and Heuefits of Free Silver Toward Labor and Capital , from a Nonpartlsan Standpoint ; " that the Centtal Labor union had heard with pleasure that the Transmls- sisslppl congress had selected Omaha as the proper place for an exposition similar to that now being held at Atlanta , Ga. , and that a copy of the resolutions , expressing thanks for the honor conferred , be forwarded to the sec retary of the TransmlMlselppi congress , signed by the president1 and secretary of the local oiganlzatlon.

DETERMINED ON APPLICATION YESTERDAY Allegation ttint IH-fcmlnnt nt \o TliniTrlril to ( lei ATIIIJ Sin-it Uct nt llool < to Dcfc-ntt , Illnixoir , Jerome Coulter , the ex-deputy city treas- uier , charged with embezzlement , will ba given a htarlng this morning at 9 o'clock In the criminal court on on applica tion for n writ of habeas corpus. Ths matter was brought up yesterday before Judge Scott In chambers and after listening to the arguments of Coulter's attorney he Issued the writ and set the time of hearing. This action Is the outcome of n considerable effort on the part of Coulter's attorney , who has been laboring ever sinceCoulter's bond was fixed by Police Judge Ilcrka at $20,000. Coulter has been unable to obtain the bond and It has bcei continuously alleged that the amount practically debars Coulter from pre paring a defense. It Is alleged that It ls > absolutely necessary for him to examine the bctks In the city treasurer's olfico In ouler to get ready for trial and that no one else can do this preliminary work , as no one els ? Is acquainted with the books. Coulter , It la said , will have to go to the books , for the books will not come to him In Jail. In the petition In which application was made for the writ It Is set out that Coulter Is charged with embezzling In the neighbor hood of $25,000. Ills ball , pending the pre liminary hearing , was fixed at $20,000 , and It Is held that this Is unreasonable and exces sive , Inasmuch as Coulter possesses no prop erty beyond $350 worth of household prop erty. His wife Is unable to help him , as all that the owns Is real estate valued at $ J,000 , on which thcie Is a mortgage of $1,000. NO ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE. As an argument that Coulter will make no effort to escape punlshnrnt In case that he Is released on smaller bonJs It Is alleged thai ho has at no tlms attempted to get away It Is admitted that ho lelt the city and went to Chicago , St. Louis and Now Orleans , but tl-al It was In order to obtain employment. As an evidence of this It Is said that he at all times kept his wife and Intimate friends acqualnt-d with his whereabouts and that ho never attempted to conceal his personal Identity In those places. When the pollca wore seeking to discover where ho was It la alhged that they obtained the desired In formation from his wife. Moreoxer It Is alleged that he did not lea\e the city for three weeks aft-r the defalcation In the city treasmer's olllce was discovered. Accompanjlng the petition Is a largo num ber of affidavits supporting Coulter's asser tions. Ono Is signed by hlms.'lf , In which ho practically sets out the statement of facts contained In the petition. As an evidence- his Innocence of any Intention to leave the city to avoid criminal prosecution , he says that while In St. Louis he wrote to George Krug of this city for a Iftler of recommenda tion. . .An affidavit ft cm Krug confirms this statement and what purports to be the origi nal letter sent is also attached. There are also affidavits from Fred Taylor , F. \ \ . Handhauer. William Scluvarlek. Wil liam Alstadt , John Fead. T. C. Havens Jamsa Gilbert , David Van Colt , R. C. Jordan and Henry Knodell. These-men swear that they saw Coulter about public placea In this city for three weeks after the defalcation had been discovered ; that Coulter had In formed them that he Intended to go to other cities In search of employment and that he had never given any Intimation that he was In any way comncted with the defal"-atian. Coulters wife , Kate Coulter , also swears that her husband had never Intimated that he hid anything to do with the defalcation , that s-he always knew of his whereabouta and that she had Infonned the polie ? where hevas. . VVUUL.IJ NOT RELEASE HIM. Coulter's attorney made an attempt yester day to obtain an order from Judge Scott to permit Coulter to be released and set at liberty In custody of a bailiff. Judge Scott refuaed this request , chiefly on the ground that ho had not the power , as Coulter was yet under the Jurisdiction of the police court. The blame would bo place J entirely on his ohouldcrs In case Coulter escaped , he said. Ho therefore compromised by granting the writ of habeas corpus anJ betting the date of the hearing at the eaillest possible moment. Two days ago an order was obtained from Judga Scoit to permit the bringing up of a motion before Judge Duffle to reduce Coul ter's bond. At tlu t-amo time- the plan was suggested to the court of allowing Coulter to be releised and go in the custody of a bailiff. Judge Uullle , however , refused the application. Coulter Feems to have confidence that he will bo cleared on the charge against him. Ilib attorney says that he has urged Coulter to waive a preliminary hearing and to bring hla case directly before the district court. Coulter has refused to do this , saying that he wished to avoid the expense , as ho had con fidence that on the preliminary ho would not b3 bound over to appear before the dis trict court. The attorney doe- not share as much confidence , however , as he is preparing for the case when it comes up In the criminal court. It lei promised that there will be some sensa tional developments on the trial. It is at present Impossible to say Just how much there la In this promise , IIH both Coulter and lilfi attorney me dumb us to what this fensa- tlon may be. They say , however , that It will bo clearly shown that Coultei has been made nothing but a scapegoat for the crimes of others and that before his trial Is over some thing In the shape of the dark regions will " .

FIFTEEN MINUTES -GIVEN Obango in Time of the Union Pacific Flyer West , SCHEDULE PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED Trouble In GctthiK the Train ThrotmU J\ol on ( lie Oterliuiil System Proper Import n lit CluuiKo on KansiiN IlUUIuiii After nil tlio tilk about tlio Union Pacific's fast mall anil rumors about changes of time , ft new schedule will go Into effect on Sunday and only flfte-cn minutes additional tlmo nlll be allowed the train to make the tun between Omalm and Ogdcn. While the fast mall hag been having a pretty tecky time of It , the trouble , It now appears , has not been on account of the In ability of the Union Pacific to make the schedule time between Omaha and Ogden , but has come from a combination of circum stances with which tue Overland system has had but very little to do. The Northwestern has been having some hard luck that has made It Impossible to put the train Into Omaha on time and thc"e ha\obeen n number of causes for delay that could not have been avoided. Had weather , winds that made It Impossible for any train to do schedule duty , and a few untoward deals of that kind have operated against the fast mall , but In face of all these adverse circumstances the train , the heaviest run on any western road , has made tba trip to Ogden on time nearly over since llio new schedule was Inaugurated. The Union Pacific has taken the fast mall from Omaha three hoiirs late : nd touched Ogden \\lthln n few minutes of schedule time , and lias made up from one to two hours quite fre quently. The ofllclals of the operating depart ment a crt that after the newness of the schedule lias been worn off them will be no d'lllculty In making the trip with compara tive ease on the swift schedule now In force. Under the new pchedtilo the fast mall will Iea\o Omaha at 3-30 In the afternoon , live minutes earlier thnn at present , and will allow twenty mlnuteo' leeway between Omaha and Cheyenne , but will pick up the twenty min utes between Cheyenne and Ogden and will arrive at the hitter point at 2 a. in. , but fifteen minute1' later than the present schedule time. The Important change made by the schedule that gooa Into effect on Sunday will bo made on the Kans.is division of the Union Pacific and will result In giving the Union Pacific the fast mall business that was formerly handled by the Kansas City , St. Joseph Ai Council Bluffs between Kansas City and Coun cil Bluffs. Under the now card the Union Pacific train on the Kansas division , which formerly left Kantus Cit > at 9:30 : a. m. , will now leave nt 10-40 a. m. , connecting with the Missouri Pacific fast mail train , which leaves St. Louis nt 3 n. m. and arrives at Kansas City at 10:30. : This mall was formerly hauled to Council muffs by the K. C , making connncctlons with the Union Pacific fast mall when that train left Omaha at 5.15.
