Th dead man's home Is at Highlands , a suburb cf Denver. Colo. He wzs an operator at Russell. Kan. , some years ago. and later became Interested In politics , and removed to Colorado , where , under the ClevAland ad ministration he was appointed land com missioner at La mar. He was chairman of the Colorado democratic state central com mittee. He was president of the Denver Water company and also largely interested In mining properties at Cripple Creek. He leaves a wife and two sons. IS and 13 years of age respectively The Utter are now at- ten ling college In the w t. Mr. Selgcl ild that Mr. Arbuckle had been stopping at the Fifth Avenue hotel until within a. few days. His later move ments were not known to Mr Selgel. The police surroa at the station house. after a thorough examination of the body of Mr Arbuckle. declared that In his opinion death WJB due to heart failure brought on by an attempt to ascend the steps of the elevated station. According to Mr. Selgel. Mr. Arbuc&le was instrumental In raising J120JXK ) for the recent cent- democratic national campalgn-irhtpf WJLS about one-third of the whole sum dls- buncd iy the campaign committee. Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon performed the autopsy on the body. With the con clusion of the autopsy all grounds for the suspicion of foul play In the case of Mr. Arbuckle's death vanished. Dr O'Hanlon told the newspaper men that the abrasion on the head was caused by the fall of the body. No fracture or Indentation of the skull was found , nor were there any marks of violence on the body The autopsy , however - ever , revealed that the stomach end Intes tines were badly swollen No traces of drugs or poisons were visible. The * diseased parts were sent to Chemist WItthauer for microscopical examination. The results of the autopsy tend to show that the diagnosis of Ambulance Surgeon Rossmcn of the Man hattan hospital , who. when the body was brought to the station , declared it to be a cese of heart failure , is correct. A sug gestion of suicide was thrown out. but uhen Colonel Selgel was asked if there was any reason for pinning faith to such a con jecture , he said It was absurd. Colonel Selgel has telegraphed to the dead man's brother , Richard Arbuckle , who re- sldas in Erie. Pa. and who it is expected will arrive tomorrow morning. Dr O Han- Ion did not grant a certificate of death to night. He prefers to wait until the arrival of relatives of the dead man. and then he may possibly delay until Mr. Wltthauer has made a report of his microscopical ex amination. Mrs. Frank P. Arbuckle. wife cf the de ceased , passed through Omaha last evening while en route from her * home in Denver to New Tork City.

She was met at the depot by a. couple of news paper men. who found that the duty of In forming her of the husband's demise had been performed by others , as she had al ready been told by the trainmen at 11 o'clock that morning.

She stated that she had left Denver Wednesday In compliance with a letter from her bus- bend , which requested her to make him a Mill in New York. He was In the habft of making several trips yearly to the me tropolis , and she frequently Joined him there , the two returning home together.

" It was silj that at Dm Elliott ex- prated himeelf as willing to return for trial * ithoitt requisition papers , but the subsequent telegram from Cox would indi cate that his prisoner had possibly changed hte mind , refusing to come to Omaha unless forced. In a letter from Cox to Captain Haze . ecelved yesterday the oQcer In Cedir Rapids stated that Elliott freely admitted hk ) correct name although he had given a fictitious ode upon being arrested. The one thing abcut which he teemed to be the most worried was the finding of the J65 In the rim of his hat after he had stated to the ofScers that he only had J5 in bis possession. Sergeant Cox after arriving at edar Rapids had Elliott stripped at the station and thoroughly searched. Letters addressed to Charles H. Elliott were found upon him and on the lower edges of the trousers large spots of bload were dis covered , as If the garment had been trailed in blood. Elliott will probably arrive in this city on the afternoon Northwestern train , which is due here at 3-30. It is possible , however - ' ever , that tad officer and his prisoner may get on * the train In the Bluffs and take the motor to this side of the river as this would avoid any crowd which might be collected at the Union depot for the pur pose of catching a glimpse of the prisoner.

Apostle Moses Thatcher has been declared "contumacious" and dropped from the rolls of the Mormon church. This was the day fixed by the church authorities for the trial of Mr. Thatcher for his failure to take counsel before taking part in political matters a year ago when he was a can didate for United States senator. A card appeared In the Deseret News this evening , signed by the president of the twelve apostles , to the effect that a meeting of the apostles was held , and that it was unanimously decided that Moses Thatcher be severed from the council of the twelve apnsties and that he be deprived of his apostleship and other offlces In the priest hood. Mr Thatcher refused to appear. claiming that he had been publicly accused before the people , and that he was entitled to a public trial. In his absence he was unanimously declared "contumacious. " Mr. Thatcher Is being pushed by some of bis friends for the United States senate. The Dcseret News , the recognized organ of the Mormon church , opposes bis election , and says his candidacy rests solely upon his hos tile attitude to the church. On the other hand , It is claimed that any attempt by the church authorities to folio ? ? him be yond the portals of the church and into politics would be looked upon as a viola tion of the agreement made when Utah was admitted as a state.

OLIVE HISCOX NOT GUILTY Jury Determines Her Innocence in a Hours. CLOSE OF THE SELLERS MURDER CASE Prisoner Give * Little- Evidence Enintlnn DurlnK the Trjlnc bcenrn Inrlilenl to Hie Report - port of the Jurnri. TEKAMAH. Neb , Nov. 19 ( Special Tele gram ) The Jury in the HIscox case returned turned a verdict of not guilty at 7.10 this evening , af'er being out but three and one * halt hours. The prisoner took her place In the court room , as calm as at any time during her long trial. The only sign she gave of the strain upon her mind was the paleness at her features. She showed no signs of animation after the announcing of the verdict , until her rel atives and friends crowded around hrr. In the trial today the time was consumed by Attorney Argo in an argument for the defense. Attorney Glllis for the state anJ the Instructions of the judge to the jury. Arga in his closing remarks paid Judge Powell a handsome compliment In saying that tn all his practice as a criminal lawyer he had never tried a case before a judge who was more fair to both sides than was Judge Powell. The Instructions consisted of twenty- se > en separate counts , and were mostly upon the law of the case. The jurors w > r advised that it was their duty to banish from their mind all passion , prejudice or sympathy The evidence as to the declara tions and whereabouts of Calvin and Grant Hisrox during the day and night just prior to the commission of the crime was not shown by the state to have any connection with the defendant , and the Jurors were Instructed to give it no consideration. They were also Instructed not to consider.tha . testimony of Hans Hanson as to the con versation had with tbe Hlscox boys In the jail at Oakland on the afternoon of June 2. the conversation being several hours after the homicide and in the absence of the defendant. The court instructed that the evidence of acts and declarations of the defendant and her relations with Fred Sell ers prior to the homicide should be consid ered , if the jury found that she did commit the crime , for the purpose of showing- whether * he probably acted under such provocation as might reduce the degree of the offense from murder to murder in the- second degree or to manslaughter In the eleventh Instruction the Judge told the Juron that if they believed Sellers pointed a revolver at the defendant and threatened to take her life , and that soon afterward he followed her into the house where the shooting took place , that there * he seized her in such a manner as would naturally and reasonably cause her to be lieve that she was in immediate and present danger of suffering great bodily Injury or of death then the defendant would be justified in using such force , means or weapons as she believed necesoary. and if It resulted In the death of Sellers she would not be guilty of any offense. In the twelfth. Instruction the Jurors were instructed that If they found that Sellers was unlawfully kilted and that the defendant was present and In atrf manner aided or encouraged the same , she Is oiilty. although some other person may have Cred the shot. In the succeeding Instructions the Judge Instructed the Jury as to what constitutes murder In the first And second degrees and manslaughter Instruct'ons were given as to bov the Jury should weigh and consider the testimony. They were a'.so Instructed not to discard the testimony of tbe defend ant , given In her own behalf , nor were they to blindly believe It as wholly true , but to clve It fair consideration In connec tion with other evidence in the case.
