W2M'HOGII ON THE STAND
a Oircurrntantial Account of His
Comings and Goings ,
SAYS HE'S ' A PROFESSIONAL PICKPOCKET
llft the Jury ( lint Illtt Itcnt > mii ( In
Clint-Ion .MiittliL-UN MrlliiKh , but
tlmt He linn .Many
"Huzty" Mcllugh was on the stand him-
coif yesterday and told his story. He ac
counted for every day of his time during
February and .March , 1S95 , and was very
specific concerning the days Saturday , Sun
day and Monday. He explained his portion
of the conversation with 0'Hrleti at the
Allentown Jail and his remark that he would
bo able to show where hevas on February
23 by saying that Detective Anderson had
told him O'Brien was coming to get him for
trying to kill him on that day. The re
mainder of the conversation that was held
In the presence of Donaghy and Anderson he
flatly denied. 'Ho ' entered a general dpnlal
to all of the testimony concerning his Identi
fication by various people at the Jail here.
He said he was a professional pickpocket and
thief , and was known as "Huzzy" Mcllugh ,
Jimmy Huzzy , Jlmmlc Catnc , Jim Patterson ,
James Hates , James Baker , James Moore and
numerous other names , but that his right
name was Charles Matthcns Mcllugh. On
rrocs-cxaralnatlon ho did not deviate from
his story and tried to make a favorable Im
pression upon the Jury by his frankness.
The trial began for the day with ex-Jailer
C. G. Peterson on the -tanJ under croab-
cxamlnatlon by the state. The line of ques
tioning sought to show that the Jailer was
mistaken when ho had testified that he was
In tbe Kiel hotel before O'Hrlcn and Hooker
brought out their men. He was asked If he
didn't tell Sheriff Hazcn that he only went
to the McAtec grocery and met the parties
coming from the hotel , and he said he
thought not. He was asked If he didn't tell
a repoiter that he only went to the Casady
building , and said he thought not.
PUT PETERSON IN A HOLE.
Pctcr&on ald he was positive about going
to the hotel. He ncnt Into the saloon
through the ofllcc and reading room , passed
along the bar to the screen at the west end
and there got a cracker out of n bowl. He
there got a good look at the men , and from
bis best Judgment the third party , who got
avsay , was not the defendant. Additional In
terest was lent to his testimony when the
prosecution Insisted upon Peterson telling
what his present business was. Ho grew
lei In the face , stammered and finally said
he declined to answer the question.
"Do you rely upsn your constitutional ex
emption from answering a question that
might Involve you in trouble with the law ? "
the county attorney asked.
"Yes , It might , " replied the witness.
The depositions of the people In Philadel
phia , where Mcllugh claimed tn have been
living at the time of the trouble hero , were
offered and read. The first was that of Ed
ward M. Davis. He said ho kept a lodging
or rcomlng house. That early In February ,
1833 , two men came there and took a room.
They gave their names as Mocco and Harris.
They were there six weeks , but were fre
quently away several days at a time. Recog
nized photographs of Rellly ( defendant ) as
that of Moore.
Mrs. Davis , wife of the former witness ,
testified substantially to the same thing. She
said that one time Harris was quite sick , and
that Moore came after some watr. At that
time she got a good look at Moore , and read
ily recognized the photographs of Hellly as
the man Moore.
Robert E. Deadcy of Philadelphia said ho
\vas a contractor from 1SSG , but during that
time ho kept a saloon two years. In 1895
ho kept a saloon at Ninth and Christian
streets. Ho was engaged In an athletic affair
In January of 1893 , and went to Davis' house
to see some of the parties. Here he met
James Moore and James Harris. Later he
learned Moo'e was "Huzzy" Mcllugh , and
that Harris was Tommy O'Connor. From that
time on he met Moore and Harris every day ,
sometimes two and three times a day , up to
March , when Harris was arrested. After
ward he met Moore until he was a'rcsted In
July. Ho vvtis confident he saw Moore every
day from the middle of February to the mid
dle of March. He remembered a clrcum-
stane of giving Moore a bottle of whisky on
Saturday night , and that Mooco told him the
following Monday that he had been sick on
Sunday. Tills was shortly after he had met
the two men. ( Defense claims this Is the
time the defendant \vas supposed to have ben
here. ) Witness gave this same testimony
about Moore at the time effo-ts were being
made to secure Ills return to Iowa for the
shooting.
TESTIMONY" THE CONVICTS.
When court convened for the afternoon ses
sion the room was packed with yeaplo anxious
to sec and hear the evidence of the two con
victs , whs were caughtat the time of theshoot-
Ing , and are now serving five-year sentences
for taking postage stamps when they robbed
the Grlswold bank. Wardens Jones of Fort
Madison and Madden of Aramosa were put
on the stand to show that the witnesses were
the men sent to them after their conviction
In the federal court here. J , W. Smith , alias
Wlllard. was the ( list. Ho Is the man whom
O'Hrlcn shot after he had received McIIugh's
bullet. Both of the men showed themselves
to be very bright witnesses , fully alive to tbe
Importance of relying upon their constitu
tional preroEUtlves to decline to answer ques
tions they thought to bo Improper. Each
stubbornly refused to make an admission that
could bo tortured Into an admission that Mc
llugh was a member of their party on that
February afte noon , and both tworo with as
much pcsltlvenc-ss as could be conveyed In
words that he nas not the man who did the
shooting. The county attorney made an ef
fort to get Smith to admit that he was under
Indictment for murder In Mississippi , but the
hot objections by the defense led to the
prompt overruling of the questions.
Wilson , alias "Doc" Duller , said the fourth
man In the party that night was a man
named Vance and that all had met here for
a purpose and by appointment and that the
appointment had been made In Chicago. He
said the man who did the shooting was
known as Rlley and that ho had known him
for several pears. Hoth of the men admitted
that they also knew vMcIIugh and that they
frequently met him In the "House of David"
In Chicago. In answerto a question concern
ing the business ho followed mostly during
llfo ho replied that It was "that of a fool"
and explained that he meant by that that ho
had prostituted his talents and made a fool
of himself by choosing a criminal career In
stead of an hontst one.
The defense called Albert Morgan , son of
the present sheriff and at the present time
county Jailer , to Impeach the testimony of
Dick Hoist , who test I Hid on the previous
day for the prosecution that Mcllugh had
Instantly recognized him when he first called
at tbo jail after the prUoner had been re
turned from Pennsylvania and referrld to
him as the Kiel hotel man. The Jailer swore
that ho had introduced Hoist by baying he
was from the hotel , thus breaking the force
of the significant remark made by the de
fendant.
ANOTHER FRIEND LOCKED UP.
The defense also called Prosecuting At
torney Saunders to the witness chair to show
the cauEO of the failure of the defense to
procure the deposition of Harris , .McIIugh's
partner anJ alleged roommate In Philadel
phia. The question brought out the fact that
the reasons were because Harris was In Jail
In Pennsylvania under Indictment for a fel

: OK TUB M5W WOMAN.
IIH llnlU-il Sliiton Senator *
in n Church KntcrtuliiintMit. ,
Ono of the most unique and enjoyable en
tertainments given In the city during the
season was that provided by the members
of the Unity guild In Hughes' hall last night.
It .was called "Tho New Woman , " and was
a burlesque representation of a session of
the United States senate as run exclusively
by women In the year 1996. The cast of char
acters represented only the present states
that have granted some sort of concessions
to women In the way of the ballot. The as
sembly was made up entirely of women , each
dressed to represent the state she balled
Irom. All of the regular ofttccrs of the sen
ate were In their places and the senators
from Iowa , Kentucky , New Jersey , Minnesota
seta , Connecticut , Nebraska , Texas , Ver
mont , Pennsylvania ( Dutch ) , California ( Chi
nese ) , Alabama , Utah , New York ( Irish ) ,
South Carolina ( colored ) , Colorado , Michigan ,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts occui/.cd
the seats la the chamber. Various bills for
the government of the country were Intro
duced and debated with plenty of energy.
The senator from New York wore an Im-
meriEe hat adorned with long streamers of
Ak-Sar-Dcn ribbons. At an exciting mo
ment she unwittingly created a little addi
tional diversion by llounclng her ribbons un
til they came lu contact with cue of the
gas jets. The Bcrgeant-al-arms saw the
danger and rushed to the seat of the ven
erable senator and yanked the hat from her
head before It had time to get fairly ablaze.
Early in the session the existence of a rule
was announced that prohibited reference to
the members as tcnatresses or any direct
allusions to tresses. While one of the sen
ators was advocating a bill she had Just In
troduced for the re-enfranchlscment of the
men , the telephone rang and the eergeant-
at-arms announced that the member's hus
band was having trouble at home with the
baby. The member ordered the baby to be
brought Into the senate chamber , and pres
ently the huaband , wearing an 'Immense
apion , appeared carrying a crying doll and a
nuislng bcttle.
Many blight local hits were given during
the discussion of a 'bill to subsidise an
aerial transportation line that extended
across the continent. The bill provided for
the central station to be located in Council
Bluffs for the1 reas.n that there was a large
amount of surplus legal advice lying around
that could be obtained for nothing.
While the bill for the amelioration of the
condition of the men was under discussion
one of the senators objected to its liberal
piovislons for the reabon that the men still
persisted In the use of tobacco , and made
an estimate of the miles In length of the
national cigar annually consumed by the
men.
men.Tho whole performance was exceedingly
bright and the play the result of the labors
of the members of the guild. After the pro
gram was completed the hall was cleared for
dancing and the dance was given that Is
said to have caused some of the trouble be
tween the members of the church and the
guild and the rector of Grace church.

state laws. Both of these objections have
now been removed , and the committee will

suggestions for frequent Informal banquets
and the regular mid-day lunch on Saturdays
will now be followed ar < l renewed Interest In

to advance the Interests of Council Bluffs In

The Author of It niul How It Camp to
111Wrlttrn. .
"Of course , " remarked the old telegraph
operator to the New York Sun , "I won't
swear to the details of my story , but 1 got It
pretty close from Prof. Morse himself , and It
ought to be true. Hero's how I have always
understood It : Prof. Morse , having returned
from Europe , went at once to Washington
where he renewed hla efforts to get his bill
passed appropriating $30,000 for the purpose
of his new telegraph. Toward the close of
the session of 1844 , the house took up and
passed It by a largo majority , and It only
remained for the action of the senate. Its
progress as might be Imagined , was awaited
by Prof. Morse with the most Intense Inter
est and anxiety. There were only two days
before the close of the session , and It was
found , on examination of the calendar , that
no less than 143 bills had precedence of It
The Inventor had nearly reached the bottom
of his purse ; his hard-earned savings were
almost spent , and , although he had strug
gled on with undying hope for nuny years , It
is hardly to be wondered at that he felt dis
couraged and disgusted with the s'atcsman-
shlp of the country as ho had known It.
"On the last night of the session he re
mained till 9 o'clock and then left without
the slightest hope that the bill would be
passed. He returned to hla hotel , counted
his money and found that after paying hla
expenses to New York he would have 75 cents
left. That night he went to bed sad but not
entirely hopeless , for , notwithstanding all
his trials and disappointments , confidence In
his ultimate success never deserted him. In
Other words , ho knew a good thing when he
saw It. The next morning , as ho was going
to breakfast , one of the waiters Informed
him that a young lady was In the parlor
waiting to see him. He went In Immedi
ately and found that the young lady was
MIrs Ellsworth , daughter of the commis
sioner of patents , who had been his most
steadfast friend while in Washington.
" 'I come to congratulate '
you , professor.
she said with sparkling eyes.
ser 'F ° r What' my dear ? " rellled the profes-
" ' 0-J the passage of your bill. Didn't you
" 'Oh , you must be mistaken , ' said he 'I
stayed in. the senate till late last night and
came a\\ay because there wasn't any prospect
of Its passage.1
" 'Am I the first , then , ' she exclaimed joy
fully , 'to tell you ? '
" 'You are If it is really so/ and Prof.
Morse seemed almost afraid to believe the
good news.
" 'Well,1 she continued , 'father remained
until after adjournment and heard It pabsed.
Ho told me only a few minutes ago and 1
asked him If I could not run over and tell
you. '
" 'Annie,1 said the professor , his feelings
nearly choking his utterance , 'the first pas
sage that Is sent from Washington to Bal
timore shall bo sent by you. '
" 'Well , ' she replied , 'I shall keep you to
your word.1
"Whllo the line was In process of comple
tion Prof. Morse was In New York and upon
receiving Intelligence that It was In working
order ho wrote to those ln > charge telling
thorn not to transmit any message over It un
til his arrival. Ho then came on to Washington -
ton and sent a note to MUs Ellsworth , In
forming her that ho was now ready to ful
fill his promise and asking her what message
he should send. To this she replied : 'Whal
hath God wrought ? ' words that I am sure
any young lady ought to bo proud of. The
message was twice repeated and each time
with the greatest success. As soon , as the
result of the experiment was made known
Governor Seymour of Connecticut called upon
Prof. Morse and claimed the first message
for his state on the ground that Mies nils-
worth was a native of Ulartford. Of couise
his claim was admitted , and I understand
that the Historical Society of Connecticut
has the legend displayed among Its archives
in letters of gold. "

MAHYVILU3. Mo. , Oct. 13 , ( Special In
dications arc that for the next few days
there will us hot fighting over the Maryvlllo
postotTlce. It was announced > tstorday by the
friends of John 0. drcms , the only avowed
republican candidate for the office , that he
Is expecting to hs appointed some time this
week iiml the announcement has created
quite .1 furore In political circles.
In Maryvlllc the lines between the Fllley-
Crowthcr and Kcrens-IllttlnKor factions of
the republican party are very tightly drawn
and have been for the past year. Mr. Orcms
Is the most trusted lieutenant In N'odnway
county of Colonel Kerens and Mr. lllttlngcr.
lie was chairman of the republican county
committee during the campaign of 1S94 and
several preceding It and was delegate with
Major lllttlngcr from this , the Fourth con
gressional district , to the national convention
at St. Louis In 189G. Ho Is recognized as
one of Mr. Flllej's and ex-Congressman
Crowther's moat bitter enemies In this part
of the state and , as a result , has the endorse
ment of neither his state , congressional nor
county committee , all of which arc arrayed
against him.
Klmcr C. Trueblood. the present Incumbent ,
was appointed by President Cleveland In Ic-
comber , 1895. to (111 ( out the unexplrcd term
of James Todd , who had resigned. Mr. Todd's
term , had ho remained In office , would have
expired next month and Mr. OrctiiB expects
to bo appointed In tlma to be Inducted Into
olllco then.
As stated above , Mr. Qrems Is the only
republican candidate for the olllco , but his
enemies and the democrats of Maryvlllc will
make a strong effort to have Mr. Trueblood
retained until his term expires by limitation ,
In December , 1S99.
Already the first move In this direction
has been .miula and It Is strongly Intimated
by the Fllley-Crowthcr people that the fight
will be carried even to the extent of opposing
Mr. Groin's confirmation In the senate If
ho should receive the appointment.
