When Chief Whlto took the stand again
yesterday In the hearing of the two men
charged with the theft ot Shukert' * furs ho
effectually dispelled the Idea which the pros
ecution had trltxl the day before to convey
to the court , that the Identification of Mrs.
Dachelder In the beginning of the case was
strong and had been supprosseJ by the po
lice. The chief tcstlne ? ! that his detectives
had reported to him and to Captain Donahue
that the woman gave but a poor description
of the men , such a meager ono that It would
bes of no use nt all In tracking them. The
chief then concluded that Mrs. Uacheldcr
would be of no Use and did not give her
another thought.
In commenting on the case after leaving
the atniid , Chief White said that the Iden
tification mndo by * Mrs. Bachclder on the
stand the day before wag not a fplr ono and
would not be counted lor nnich among police
officers. The method In use among nil rep
utable officers IB to place n suspect In a row
with a dopcn or moro men anil then It a
witness can pick him out the Identification
Is fair and can bo relied upon. But In a
case like that of Mrs. Bncheldcr , where
the suspects ares pointed out to a witness ns
the guilty persons and the witness asked
It she can Identify them , her Imagination
li powerfully stimulated nnd a -called
Identification almost Invariably results. Mrs.
Dachelder the chief and other police cmcers
believe * waa gteatly strengthened In her
convictions between the time she talked
with the detectives and when she took Inn
otand by being told by the county attorney's
agents thnt they had the men who took the
furs , that they were the men who had had
v her rooms , and she must como up and
\ Identify them. Naturally she felt safe In
' " making an assertion thnt they were the
men.
In regard to the expressman , Kasley , the
Identification wns even less reliable , ns he
had first told the police that the man tor
whom ho hauled a trunk \vaa light nnd
looked llko a Swede. All the men hold by
the police were dark and Easlcy's description
fitted none of them.
Clilc-r White C'onUnuon.
Chief White waa the only witness of the
morning. He began with the arrival of the
two men from Joplln , nt which time they
protested their innocence. After two or
three consultations they made the first prop ,
i ositlou looking to dismissal for return of
the goods. They said.
"Nowe deny that we nre guilty nnd we
hadn't anything to do with the robbery , but
wo know a good many thieves all ovrr the
country. If vvo can , through our friends ,
help > oti to get the goods , what can you defer
for us ? "
The chief told them that he could not
promise them anything without seeing Shu
kert and the county attorney. Shukcrt's eolc
ambition was to get the goods. Ho said that
people were coming Into the store every day ,
demanding their garments and suing him
for them. Some of the Kirments were not
worth $10 to the trade , but their owners
were suing for $500 , and ho would have to
replace thorn with new garments. Witness
told Shukert that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict the men nnd hShukert )
wanted to dismiss them to get thn goods
nt once. Witness told him to see the county
attorney , which ho did , nnd reported to wit
ness that County Attorney Shields had
promised to release the men whenever
Shukci't requested It. Nothing was said at
this time to the county attorney regarding
the number of furs Shukert would be satis
fied with , but the latter told the witness
thnt ho would bo patlsfied with thirty-five
Then the prisoners were allowed to write
and Dennis' wife cinie to Omnha. She de
nied all knowledge of the crime , but prom
ised to see what aho could do and loft for
Chicago. In n few davs he got a letter tellIng -
1 Ing him to como to Chicago and receive the
Roods there. They came addressed to John
Rogers , care of the Parmalee Express com
pany. The company , nt the chief's request ,
delivered the packages a trunk , n box nnd
A paper bundle nt witness' Chicago office
WltncfH had had nothing to do with the
routing of the packages and did not know
whore or whom they came from.
AN to ( lie * Ht'miril.
In regard to the reward , witness said that
ho had never suggested that Shukert offer
ono. Shukert had asked him If It would bo
well for him to offer $2,000 and no questions
gskinl for the recover ) of the goods and he
bad said that It would do no harm , though
It would probably do no good. It paid , the
chief said , the toward would be distributed
to various persons all over the country ,
somn of It to the Missouri parties , some of
It to the police of Des Molnes and a part to
the pollca department of Omaha. One-fourth
of the latter share would go to the Police
men's Benevolent association , so that In any
event the poitlon to be tlven ; out In Omaha
tvould bo small The reward had never been
discussed by Donahue and himself.
Witness had told the two girls that If the
reward were paid there was no reason wh )
they should not have some of It for sta-
Ing In the city on oxponw nnd because It
vvna through the trip to Chicago , made by
one of them , that the furs had been re
covered At the tlcne the girls swore they
had never Identified ny one. witness was
In Chicago and knew nothing of It. Ttin
girls told witness that Shields had askol
them to let him collect their reward , as he
thought ho could get moro for them thnn
tbt ) police could Later same agreement
had been made between thn glrU and
Shukert lu the pretence ot Captain Donahue
for the pnjmenl to them of ? 200.
Assistant County Attorney Dunn tried , but
failed , to get the witness to take bnclc his
previous statement thnt an agreement hud
been reached with the county attorney ten
elays before witness left for Chicago to net
the Kooda. Then Mr , Dunn asked why wit
ness had called htm ( Dunn ) up the day h'3
left fur Chicago nnd asked about the agree
ment. WltncKi replied thnt It was because
ho had no confidence In the word of the
county nttorney and ho did not want to go to
Chicago to malvo promises he would not bo
ublo to carry out. Ho trusted Dunn more.
Ho expected to remain n police olflccr and
had to deal squarely even with suspects and
considered an agreement with them
BH binding as any bo uiado with

a reputable business man He had mado' '
promises on the etrcnglh of v\hat ShuXert
told him of the rounty attorney's Intention
before any headway wns made on the recov
ery of the goods As he had made no agree
ment respecting Prince , ho had Mrs Prince
and one ot Prince's friends shadowed In
Ch'cngo In the hope of getting him , but did
not succeed.
The chief stated that his only motive in
going to Chicago wai to recover the goodi
and get the "fiqileal" fcomplalnt ) off the
"squeal book " He had not withhold any
evidence at any lime. The only evidence ;
that had been added since the beginning
was the Identification of Mrs , Ilachcldor ,
made on the stand the day before. Hut he
had looked up Mrs. Unrhelder Immediately
after the robbery , through his detectives ,
and at that time she was unable to give any
description of the men and didn't think eho
would know them again.
The chief had told the accused that he
could prove they carried the goodn across
the htrcet , which was not true. He might
have threatened to "railroad" them ; he did
not remember. Ho had recovered forty-one
garments , all but one of these stolen , nnd
ho believed he could recover the other.
Shield * Ai | > rnr * ill I.ml.
County Attorney Shields , last witness for
tbo state , took the stand Into In the after
noon. During hie examination all he said
bearing on the reanons tor his refusal to dis
miss the men as he had ngrccd to do ivaa
"I got to thinking. The turning point In
my mind was the circumstance that the
property was shipped from DCS Molnes to
Chicago , There seemed to me to be Home-
thing wrong about that and that's why I
telephoned In the afternoon that 1 would not
be down to dismiss the prisoners. "
The county attorncj's mind , In looking
back over the last few months , the last
few weeks , or even the last few days , seemed
to be Blaring \alnly Into a fog Police ofll-
cers became confused with fur merchants ,
expressmen with attaches of his own office ,
dates nnd hours of the day became flotsam
nnd Jetsam , conversations with various pcr-
soni drifted hither and thither , nnd n tow
wore even loot ever the < > dge of the dim
horizon. He did not specify any particular
evldenco which had been withheld , nor did
his deputy , who was examining him , ask him
to do BO. Ills testimony was In substance
corroborative of all thnt had been said by
Chief White , Captain Donahue and other
witnesses , with the exception of a fen unim
portant points. Ho denied , for Instance , that
he had asked Miss Anderson and Miss Kep-
lor to allow him to collect their reward for
them , that he had talked of releasing the
men ten days before Chief White started for
Chicago to get the goods , or that ho know
then the suspects had made efforts to re
store the goods. Ho asserted thnt he heard
of the offer of the defendant ? to help In the
recovery only after the goods had arrived In
the city He admitted having promised un
conditionally at one time to release the pris
oners nnd having started to write an order
to that effect.

Two wltnesoe , upon whom the prosecution
evidently hid counted to show up some "sup
pressed evidence , " an employ of Shukcrt's
store and a man who had roomed vvhero the
suspects are alleged to have taken rooms ,
failed to establish any vital connection with
the case nnd Mr. Dunn dismissed them read
ily enough. Miss Gllfcather , one of Shu-
kerfs clerks , testified that she saw a man
pass In the rear and along the side of the
building just as another man entered the
front of the store on the Saturday afternoon
before the robbery occurred. When asked If
either of the defendants looked like the one
In the store she replied :
"Rcilly , neither one of them looks Just
like him. "
She could not describe the other man.
When asked If ho resembled either Dennis
or Monaghan she answered : ,
"I can't say. I did think this man ( Mon-
aghan ) looked llko him. but he didn't have
any whiskers and I did not see his face. 1
merely glanced at him as ho walKcel past. "
Carl Jacobs , a Bohemian , was called. He
knew no English , and Officer Vanous was
sworn as interpreter. JacoH had roomed
In the building of which Mrs. Bachclder
had charge and had seen two men there
at about the time of the robbery. He wat >
then asked by Mr. Dunn to look around the
court room and tell If he saw either of the
men , but he replied that there was no
one he knew Ho thought he would know
ono ot the men If be saw him , a hallow man
with a dark moustache. That ended Mr.
Jacobs' usefulness.

Identify the photograph of Prince on the
circular sent out by the police , the defense
objected on the grounds that Prince bad
nothing to do with the guilt or Innocence
of the defendants , but the picture was ad
mitted.
The only serious question of law so far
raised In the case was over the admission
In evldenco of letteis nnd telegrams In
posseffilon of Chief Whlto relating to the
case. Mr. Dunn put the chief on the stand
and asked him to produce the letters and
telegrams. The defense objected , claiming
that nothing written between an agent and
a principal could be introduced in criminal
proceedings against the principal and that
It had been universally held In all criminal
courts of standing that confidences that paea
between a man In custody and the offleer
In charge worn not admissible evidence
Judge Gordon held that the defendants were
not electing to stand on the promise nnd
that they were on trial entirely as though
there had never been any promise v\hatever.
He thereupon ruled out the letters and tel
egrams and the chief as excused flora the
stand.
Mr Shukert v\as recalled to the ttaud to
explain what Miss Anderson and Miss Kop-
lor had done at the station In the way of
an Identification. He said that Captain Don-
ahuo biought the men out nnd walked them
back and forth before the girls. The girls
had said that they wore biiro of their Identi
fication
During the afternoon Captain Donahue
shed omo light on the value of the Identi
fication by the girls. In his pretence.
Shukert had promised that It Mlse Andenou
would go to Chicago nnd Identify the men
ho v uld pa > her e\pors > es and give her a
seaUkln cloak , made to measure. She re
plied tiat ) that would bo all right. Witness
wani'ed the girl not to let the promise In
fluence her mind.
Afslatnnt County Attorney Dunn wont on
the stand and testified to substantially the
samu things regarding the promise of Im
munity as had Captain Donahue He ad
mitted on crojs-oxamlnatlon that the police
nlwajs gave him and the county attorney
all the evidence they bad against n suspect.

Mr. Anthony Hope's new book , "The
King's Mirror , " Is A bold departure
from the ordinary canons of novel
writing nnd from hU own habit o !
composition. There Is , strictly speaking , no
plot In "Tho King's Mirror" , nnd in the
place of that world ot swift adventure to
which the author has accustomed his rend
ers ho presents us with a quiet nnd carctul
study of the private life of a king King
Augustin la a monarch , presumably of the
present day , and reigns over an Imaginary
kingdom of which Forstadt Is the capital.
The narrative Is told by the king himself ,
and has the effect rather of a discursive
personal memoir than of a story , the char
acters being moro llko the personnel of a
diary than the mainstays of Intrigue. The
effect Is , of course , Intentional , nnd If the
admirers of "Tho Prisoner of Zenda" may at
first be a little surprised nt the character
of "Tho King's Mirror , " they will bo grati
fied to realize that Mr. Hope Is , after nil ,
is willing to appeal to their sensibility as
to their love ot excitement. King Augustin
tells us In so many words that because ho
Is a king wo must not think that his lot Is
any happier than our own , Itc has his pomp
and splendor and even a little power , but
what is that to the Joy peculiar to "our lit
tleness , " of making and preserving our own
friendships or of choosing a wife after our
own hearts ? In a vein somewhat ot this
kind , helped by a variety of pleasing Inci
dents and a dialogue as crisp and to the point
as we expert from Mr. Hope , the king tells
his tale of divinity that doth hedge him
round and grows even a little sad , though
ho feels It is more klngllke to be cynical
thnn sentimental. Besides that of the mel
ancholy but engaging Auguetln the author
has added other characters worthy of exhibi
tion In the same gallery as the Princess
Flavia , Rupert llassundyll , or the 1'rlnccsa
Osra. Among the best Is the Iron chancellor ,
Hnmmerfeldt , who reminds us not a little of
Sapt , the witty nnd Ironical Wetter , who
nhowa us the best side of a radical , and the
Countess Von Sempach , who U good but
dangerous the more so for that Impression
of naUeto In her character , tvhlch Mr.
Anthony Hope ! > o well knows how to convey.

One of the best bits of recent American
fiction Is "A Mountain Kuropa , " by John
Fox , Jr. H depicts life In the Tennessee
mountains with the clearness and sharpness
of n photograph , jet nt the same time with
so much sympathy w Ith the mountaineer
that one cannot fall to understand them
better , after making the acquaintance ot
his characters. His story Is old In plot ,
but It Is new in all Its features. There
seems to be no deliberate attempt to paint
word pictures of the beautiful scenery of
these mountains ; but In a few lines Mr. Pox
sketches a scene that serves to bring Into
stronger relief the personages In his tragic
story. All the phases of unspoiled nature
In these remote mountain fastnesses are
sketched so sharply that wo know the places
and the people as though we had seen them
with our own ejcs. The story turns on
the adventure ot a New York mining en
gineer In the Cumberland mountains who
encounters a beautiful girl , becomes inter
ested In her , stimulates her to study and
unconsciously separates her from the rustic
lover who had know her all bis life. Clay
ton , the engineer , first met Easter Hicks
as she was riding home on a bull , a modern
Europa. with grist from the mill. The bull
charged the stranger and burst the meal
bag , greatly to the annoyance of the girl ,
but she Is not so much preoccupied as to
fall to note the clothes of the stranger or
to speculate on his reasons for lifting Tiis
hat when ho took leave of her. The ac
quaintance ripens rapidly , much to the dis
comfiture ot Sherd Raines , the young lover ,
who Is studying to be a circuit rider. Much
of the story Is written In dialect , but It Is
a dialect that , like Uncle Remus' negro
talk , may be easily understood. The story
Is well worth careful reading for Its literary
art and Its truth to a phase of little known
American life. Harper & Brothers , New

The third volume In the new library edi
tion of Edward Everett Hole's works Is
"Ten Times One is Ten , and Other Stories. "
In a preface the author gives an Inter
esting account of the remarkable develop
ment of schemes of practical charity and
helpfulness from this story. The "Lend a
Hand" societies spread from city to city
and some years after they were Increased
by the "Look-up Legion. " It wns Miss
Ella ElUabeth Russell of Now York who
In May , 1870 , formed the first club from her
Sunday school class She had read the story
to her pupils , who were bo > o between the
ngcs of 12 and 17 , and they hod been much
struck with the good work done by Harry
Wadsworth , the hero of the storv. So the
society was formed , the first of many hun
dred. It Is a curious fact that the book was
popular In prisons , and one club of young
women devoted themselves to circulating the
story among prisoners , Finally these so
cieties grow so numerous that Dr. Hale was
Induced to start a little Journal called Lend
n Hand , which was afterward merged In the
Charities Review , but the central ofllco of
the clubs In Boston still publishes the Lend
n Hand Record. Among the work performed
by the united clubs were hospitals for col
ored people in the southern states , a scnooi
at Mnnasscs and recently care of the sick In
tha Spanish war This Is a remarkable
nnd noteworthy work to como from ono
story Among the other ( .torles In this book
aio "Neither Script Nor Money , " "Stand
and Walt , " "Hepzlbah's Turkeys" and "Our
Now Crusade" They are all marked by
that breezy realism which Is ono of the
great charmo of Dr. Halo's style , and sev
eral of them have genuine pathcs. The
story of Hepzlbah's Christmas dinner la
particularly good The volume is uniform
with the others In this handsome uew edi
tion , which ought to bring many now read
ers to Dr Hale nnd thus spread the Influence
of Eome of the most wholesome books of our
day. Little , Brown & Co , Bceton Cloth ,

The claim Is often made fop a book that
It Is "founded on fact , " and In the case of
an historical book this assurance Is very
necessary , but not often Is the claim mndo
with moro reason than In the case of Mr.
Everclt T. Tomllnson's latest book , "A Jer
sey Boy In the Revolution " Jlr. Tomlln-
son spent his vacation last summer (1800) ( )
with his two bo > s , nged II nnd 11 , In Old
Monmouth , N. J. , and on their wheels they
scoured itho entire region. They visited
various places , dug out old records , Investl-
gvted family traditions nnd family scrapbooks -
books and had many personal Interviews
with the "oldest Inhabitants " One ot these
was a sea captain SO years ot ago , helpless
now , but his mind as active and clear ns
ever. Ills father was fifteen years old when
the baittle ot Monmouth v\os fought , and he
told his boy many stories which In turn
were told to Mr.
Tomllnson and his sons.
Another man , a physician , now moro than
00 years old , who has ridden the country
over and known all the family traditions ,
told Mr. Tomllnson
and his sons many
things. So the ad-ventures in the story , "A

"Harold's Quests , " by John W. Troeger , Is
the title of No. Ill In the Nature-Study Read
ers. This series of bcoks Is Intended to sup
ply what Is called supplementary reading for
pupllH who have been two > ears or more at
school. The sentences are short and the
words are simple. The subject matter Is
taken from the common things In nature
which children are most Ilktdy to meet and
find Interesting. Animate and plants , their
development and their habits , alwajs Inter
est , but the child needs hints and nuestlons
to direct him In his seeing and thinking ,
Nature btudj Is not scltmce , but It Is the
first step In the ttudy of science. The sub
jects treated In the present volume are
brought Into connected relation and the first
steps of classification suggested. A book of
this kind will bo found of great advantage
to school children , not only In the matter of
aiding them In learning to read , but In
familiarizing them with nature and the com
mon things which they see about them. D.

It has after nil an element of the heroic.
Such selections from Erasmus' writings

third In the series , Provision has already
been made for five additional volumes , de
voted to Theodore Bezn , Huldrelch Zwlugll ,

on the part , not only cf special students of
the period , but of the general reader. 0. P.

The second volume of the great collection
of masterpieces of eloquence now being pub
lished , with Justice David J Brewer of tbo
United States supreme court as editor-In-
chief , eustnlns the promise of the first that
the collection \\lll be , among other things ,
"n documentary blbtory of civilization "
Prof. Edward A. Allen ot the chair of Anglo-
Saxon and English literature In the Uni
versity of Mlaeourl , who Is one of the
editors associated with Justice Brewer In
the work , says In his preface "On the Ora
tory of the Anglo-Saxon Countries " "Wher
ever the principles of Anglo-Saxon freedom
and the rights cf man have been at stake
the all-animating voice of the orator has
kept alive the sacred flame In the wlten-
agcmote ot the earlier klnn . In the parlia
ment of the later klngb , In the Marnachu-
netts townmeetlug , In the Virginia house of
Burgfsse * . In the legislature of ever ) Hate
and In the congress of the United States ,
wherever In Anglo-Saxon countries the
torch of liberty seemed to burn low , the
breath of the orator has fanned It Into
flames " As to Illustrations , paper binding
and general mechanical makeup , the work
Is a credit to the modern school of Ameri
can bookbinding As Is UMIA ! In the ease of
works whlrh require such great outlnv nml
extensive research in their preparation , It

"American Lands and Loiters" Leather-
Stocking to Poe's "Rnvpn , " Is the title of
the latest volume by Donald 0. Mitchell ,
who Is already known to the public a the
author of n number of very readable nnd
Instructive volumes. There arc many Inter
esting things In this volume , but the most
striking of them all In Its youthfulncss. Mr
Mitchell Is no longer n joung man. Born
In 1S22 , the new century will soon see him
enter upon his SOth jear. And yet he
writes with the lightness of touch , the
jojousncss , the life nnd charm that his ad
mirers made acquaintance' with In hi * earli
est books More than two jcars have"
passed since Mr. Mitchell published his first
volume devoted to "American Lands nnd
Letters" It embraced the colonial and rev
olutionary nnd some jears later , far enough
down to Include Irving nnd Cooper , those
writers who , moro than Edwards nnd Trank-
lln , moro than all who wrote FO profusely
In times still earlier than Edwards nnd
Franklin writers now quite forgotten snvo
to collectors of Americana gave our country
a place In the court of literature abroad.
The Biib-tltlo of the- present volume ,
"Leather-Stocking to I'oe's Rnvon , " suggests
clearly enough the year * that It embraces
the years when Bancroft and Emerson , Haw
thorne and Holmes had given to their coun
trymen their earliest works , writing their
names largo In their countrj's truest his-
lory and adding to American possessions
those things which best make for Its great
ness. Some of these men Mr. Mitchell hns
known personally , notably Hawthorne , of
whom he gives several pages of delightful
reminiscences. There Is a lasting value to
Mr. Mitchell's work nnd no student of
American literature should fall to rend his
work. Charles Scrlbner's Sons , New York.

The great activity of the various "colonial"
and "historical" societies of New York
and Pennsjlvnnla and the number and ex
cellence of their publications have so pre
pared the public comprehension that the
two volumes ot Mr. John Flsko's "The
Dutch nnd Quaker Colonies In America" will
find more well Informed readers awaiting
them than nny one of the five pairs which
have preceded It during the last ten jenrs
Like "Tho Beginnings of New England. " It
brings the colonial story In detail down
to the accession of William and Mary , , al
though some threads of the narrative nre
traced Into the next century , and It begins
by cxplnlnlng the European causes work-
ins to produce the men and the etntc of
feeling destined to mold the republic. One
chapter Is given to "The Mediaeval Nether
lands" and one to "Dutch Influence Upon
England , " and In opening the latter the
author speaks of the recent reaction against
the former narrowness which silently passed
over all contributions to American civiliza
tion not English. In the chapter on "Privi
leges and Exemptions , " the subject of
French Influence Is Introduced , French and
English relations with the Iroquols and Al-
gonqulns ore considered nnd one Is shown
the beginning of that struggle which by
breaking the power ot the Lennl-Lenapes ,
left Pennsylvania In peace during the early
years of her colonial existence. This work
leaves the English colonies nnd their al
lies ranged for the contest with New France ,
which contest , with the preliminary history
of the French settlements , will fill the
author's next book. This present work puts
the kejstono In the arch against which
France was to dash herself In vain. It Is
hardly necessary to add that the work Is a
valuable contribution to American colonial
history , and It would seem as If the author
had entirely exhausted the subject , leaving
nothing to be added by future writers. The
author's style Is pleasing , and few writers
have bis happy faculty of dressing up facts
In such an entertaining style. Houghton ,

It would seem as If the public would
never tire of rending of Admiral Dewey
and not only are the dally papers and the
magazines filled with the theme , but books ,
seemingly without number , are being turned
out. The latest work of the kind to claim
attention lo a volume bearing the title.
"The Life ot Admiral Dewey , " by Will M.
Clemens. Admiral Oeorgo Dewey Is one of
the most Interesting characters In Ameri
can history , and this work supplies to the
reading public the much-needed informa
tion concerning his life and deeds. We
have been supplied with odds and ends of
information In this line through the columna
of the press , from time to time , but hero
we have It nil between two covers of a most
excellent book , written by one whose at
tainments arc fully adequate to his task.
Mr Clemens , the author , eomos of good
literary stock , being a nephew of "Mark
Twain , " His former work entitled , "A Ken
of Kipling , " has attained much prominence ,
and this later work will fully establish Mr.
Clemens as n writer of worth and ability.
