Tho nttorncyn for tlio defense In tlio Kelly
bribery cano before Judgo Vltmonhalrr tools
their Innings nt launching surprises nt tho
opening of yesterday's tesslon of court
by Informing Judgo Vlnsonhalcr that their
client waived further examination and
would consent to being bound over to tho
district court. As this hearing was counted
upon to bring out evidence of use to the
prosecution when tho raso rnmo up for trial
In tho district court, tho proceeding of tho
defenao leaven the state In about tho posi
tion of Mahomet's coffin suspended In mid
air, as far ns tho securing of now cvldenco
is concerned.
At a preliminary hearing before a county
Judge thoro Is n wider latitude allowed tho
prosecuting attorney In questioning wlt-
nesses. This was apparent In tho proceed
ings Friday. Thero wero many Instances
when witnesses wero unoblo to contrlbuto
I ny Information of their own knowledge re-

tlons, hut they could tell what Information
others had given them. Ah an Illustration,
ono of tho brewers said ho paid George
Tlerney n sum of money which Tlornoy
represented would bo paid to tho mayor.
i Whether tho money wnB over turned over
' to tho mayor or not tho witness could not
i nwear, but ho was allowed to tell that
Tlerney had Informed him tho money was
! paid to tho mayor. In tho district court
hearsay cvldenco Is not admissible. Tho
county attorney will bo able to question n
witness only as to what ho actually knows,
and It may result from this that the whole
truth about tho alleged bribery may novor
bo brought to light.
AMoriit-j Sutlilmlr ' Hr
As soon as court convened one of tho
tt.reo attorneys employed by Kelly arose
ond said that ho and his associates wero
too busy to proceed further with tho hoar
lng. "Ono of my associates Is engaged
In an Important caso In nnothcr court,"
ho explained. "Another Is similarly busied
vlth a hearing on a mandamus. I am going
to California and must make tho necessary
Arrangements."
"Whero Is Kelly going?" Interrupted tho
county nttornoy; "Isn't he busy somehow
or going somewhere, too?"
Tho speaker pretended not to hear tho
remnrk and continued In his announcement
that Kelly would waive examination. As
coon na ho had finished speaking the county
attorney was on his feet with a protest.
"Your honor," ho expostulated, "I think
thero Is a valid reason why tho defendant
should not bo allowed to waive hearing nt
this tlmo a reason that oporates for public
benefit. Tho counsel on tho other side had
on opportunity to walvo n hearing at tho
outsot, but thoy neglected to do so, nnd
now It ought to go on. I havo explained
that I havo been unablo to tnduco tho brow
em to glvo mo tho Information noeded to
prosecuto this caso. Tho omy way I can
mako them talk Is to bring thorn Into this
court by subpoena nnd put them on tho
witness stand. It your honor permits them
to wnlvo tho hearing now I will bo left
hanging In tho air when It comes to trial
In tho district court.
"Now, I havo traced the money paid by
the browors to George W. Tlerney. It may
be that It cannot bo traced to Mnyor Kelly,
but I bollovo It can. If wo havo tho op
portunity to try to trace It to him and fall
In this court I will movo for a dismissal.
It seems to mo It Is tho better plan to let
tho hearing proceed nnd snvo the county
the oxponso of a trial In tho district court
In tho event of Kelly being not guilty."
JiiiIkp Obliged to Oritnt hrqnmt.
Judge Vlnsonhalor said bo would havo to
allow counsel to walvo tho hearing It they
choose to do so. "It Is tho duty of tho
county magistrate only to detcrmlno
wbothor thoro Is probablo causo of a man's
guilt," ho said, "and to bind him ovor to
tho district court In caso thero Is. It Kelly
desires to bo bound over without further
hearing I must permit blm to do so. Ills
ball Is fixed nt 1,000."
Tho caso will likely not bo heard until
tho next term of court, as tho docket Is
pretty well crowded at present. Tho county
nttornoy said that tho movo of the defenao
loft him In tho lurch ns far as securing
now testimony Is concerned, but it Is not
a conclusion that tho statn will fall to
provo a caso against Kelly on that ac
count. "Wo havo traced all tho money pnld
by tho saloon koepors of South Omaha to
Tlernoy," said he. "Consequently wo'vo
got Tlerney where ho will havo to move to
avo himself. If ho says ho didn't glvo tho
money to Kelly we'vo got him for obtain
ing money under false pretenses, so you
see It Is n caso of stir with Tlerney. Ho
must either glvo up the other man or suf
fer himself. That Is whero our hopo lies."

In tho federal court yesterday before
Judgo Munger, the case of the United States
against t A. and i:. O. Itelmcrs was argued
on a motion for n new trial.
Tho Hcltners, father nnd son, president
nnd assistant cashier of tho l'lrst National
bank of Ncllgh, N'cb., were Indicted with
C. K. Alders, tho cashier of tho bank, on
tho charge of abstracting funds from tho
bank and for conspiring to defrnud tho de
positors of tho Institution. Tho caso was
tried at 'the December term, 1S08, of the
federal court, tho elder Ilelmer being con
victed on both charges and tho younger on
tho first charge.
Motion for n new trial was filed and has
been continued from time to tlmo until
this term. Tho contentions of the attor
neys of tho defendants are that tho cvl
denco did not warrant tho verdict and that
one of tho Instructions of tho court was
In Its nature ambiguous and was misunder
stood by the members of tho Jury.
At tho tlmo of tho falluro of the Ncllgh
bank (!. It. Alders, the cashier, absconded,
and his whereabouts wero unknown until
tho last few months, when he was located
nt Chihuahua, Mexico, where, It Is said, ho
has successfully embarked In business
which promises to mako him ono of tho
lending capitalists of tho southern republic.
Ho Is beyond the reach of the United States
courts, but the defendants assert ns a rea
son for a now trial that they can secure
tho deposition of the defaulting cashier and
that this deposition will prove beyond all
doubt that they aro not guilty.
Tho tlmo of tho court was principally
occupied In hearing this phase of tho case,
tho district attorney contending tha even
If this deposition can bo secured It should
not bo ndmlttcd In evidence, ns the de
ponent would bo n fugltlvo from Justice

LOOKS LIRE FOUL MURDER
Delated Eridence Indicates that Frank Lank
Did Not Commit Suicide.
INSURANCE SUIT BRINGS REVELATIONS
Mnrder Theory So fllronic thnt Jnrj
Ilejcctn Suicide Itlra unit Itenilrm
Vrrillnt In Knvor of Dead
Mnti'n Widow.
Tho cvldenco In tbo Insurance case of
Janlo Lank against the Woodmen of tho
World, according to tho verdict the Jury ren
dcrcd yesterday morning, showed that Frank
Lank did not commit suicide, but was foully
murdered.
During tho forenoon of May 13, 1899,
Frank Lank wot discovered In his homo on
Twelfth street, near William, with his
throat cut from ear to ear. Tho authorities
mado no particular Investigation of tho case,
taking It for granted that Lank had slashed
his own throat with tho rusty caeekntfo that
was found on tho floor near his dead body
When It camo to tho collection of tho Insur
ance on l.ank's life, nn Investigation of nil
the circumstances attending his death had
to be undertaken In order to show that tho
policy was not Invalidated by the suicide
clauso It contained.
Tho attorneys for the widow made a most
searching Inquiry Into tho case, and tholr
presentation of tho circumstantial ovldenco
of murder in the trial of tho caso to re
cover on tho Insurance policy convinced
tho jury that Lank did not como to his
death by suicide, for thoy gave a verdict
In favor of tho plaintiff for the full amount
of tho policy,
.No ItrnNon for Suicide.
In tho trial Just concluded It was shown
that Lank wns of cheerful disposition,
happy In his domestic relations and had no
motlvo whatever for suicide; that It would
have been a physical Impossibility, In tho
optnlon of tho expert surgoons, for him
to havo almost severed his head from his
body, as was dono, with tho rusty casc
knlfc found on tho floor near him; that a
scuffle In tho houso was heard by children
playing In front a little while before tho
discovery of Lanka death, nnd that a
kitchen door that had been carefully closed
by Mrs. Lank when sho left tho houso was
found wldo open upon her return.
On tho fateful morning Mr. Lank, his
wlfo nnd four children bad taken break
fast together, nftor which tho children went
out to play and Mrs. Lank loft through
tho back door to deliver somo clothes sho
had washed for n neighbor, closing the
door tightly ns she went out. Her husband
was left In n cheerful mood nnd he had
requested her to got him a packago of
smoking tobacco.
Kvldcnci of n StriiRRlr.
A fow minutes after tho wife's departuro
the children In front heard the noise of a
scufflo In tho house. Ono of tho llttlo boys
went to tho front door and called "papa"
throo times, but thero wob no response.
Upon looking through tho window Into the
front room tho children saw their father
reclining on a sofa with blood (lowing from
his throat. They ran up Twelfth street In
search of their mother. Mrs. Lank mean
while returned by tho rear way and was
surprised to find tbo back door of her houso
wide open. When sho entered tho houso
sho found tho back room In disorder as
though there had beon a scuffle there, and
going into tho front room sho discovered
the dead body of her husband on a sofa Just
Inside tho door. A rusty case kntfo which
sho had used for cutting bread and which
sho bad left on a tablo in tho back room
was found on the floor.
It Is tho theory of Mrs. Lank's attorneys
that somo enemy of Lank's In the neigh
borhood, which Is full of tough characters,
saw her leavo the houso and then entered
for tho purpose of attacking Lank; that an
encounter ensued In which the assassin
drew a sharp knlfo and, securing a hold on
Lank's neck, slashed his throat In one blow,
The surgeons who testified nt tho trial wero
positive in their opinion that Lank could
not havo committed tho deed himself with
tho caso kntfo that was found on tho floor.
ILER MUST STAND TRIAL
Police Cnotnln In Ilonnd Over to Dis
trict Court by Jaattce
AltntnUt.
Pollco Captain Daniel W. Her, after a
hearing before Justice Altstudt on a charge
of assault, has been bound over to the dis
trict court under J300 bends. Ho Is ac
cuBcd of striking Michael Hogan twlco upon
the head with his club on tho night of fo
vcmber C during tho Bryan speech In the
big tent at Fourteenth and Capitol avenue.
Tho captain was ordering tho crowd back
to permit Drynn and his party to pass
Hogan, who was on tho outskirts of tho
crowd, claims that ho tried to keep back,
but tho denso throng behind him pushed
him forward.
"I saw the captain strike an old man,"
testified Hogan, "and asked htm to quit,
whereupou he turned and struck me, knock
ing mo to my knocs, and then he struck me
again. When ho quit tho blood was spurt
ing from two wounds on my head."
Following aro somo extracts from the
written opinion of Justice Altstadt:
"That an assault has been committed can
not bo questioned, considering all tho testi
mony In tho caso. Tho next question for
the court to decldo wns, Wns It Justifiable?
It Is not claimed that, at tho time of the
assault, tho complaining witness wns under
arrest Ly the defendant, so tho only other
question to bo considered Is whether or
not tho defendant had reason to believe ho
was about to bo assaulted by Hogan. I
don't bollovo thero was any reason to be
llevo that tho defendant was In danger of
assault by Hogan.
"Tho fact that tho defendant was an offi
cer of the law docs not change the condi
tion of affairs, except thnt from an officer
Is expected greater effort to preservo the
poace. But when an officer will strike dowu
with a weapon, ns tho defendant In this
caso has done, he Is not entitled to any
greater consideration than any other per
Bon and tho fact that he 1b an officer will
not excuse him.
"Tho only claim of Justification Is that
the complaining witness used profane lan
guage toward tho defendant, but no lan
guage will Justify an assault, nnd the evi
dence shows that tho striking of tho com
plaining witness by tho defendant was en
tirely uncalled for."

REV. M'INTURFF RESIGNS
Church rrllh Which He Wan Anno
elated nt Spokane Ankn Iter,
Savlduc t Help It.
Late Issues of Spokane, Wash., news
papers contain several scarehead nows
stories of tho vicissitudes of Ilcv. I. Js
Mclnturff, nt ono tlmo pastor of tho Peo
ple's church of that city. It was Mcln
turff who pooled Issues with Ilcv. Charles
W. Savldgo of this city a year ago In n
United People's church movement. As
soon as Mr. Savldgo learned that his co
adjutor had borrowed $500 of Widow Mlchlo
on n personnl rote, without collateral se
curity, for three years, he protested loud
and long. Mrs. Mlchlo soon thereafter
brought suit to recover tho money. The
caso Is docketed for trial at an early
date.
About tho tlmo Hev. Mclnturff enme to
Omnha thirty members of his church nt
Spokane, left In a body. Hlnco thnt tlmo
tho dl3sentlon has grown, until his congre
gation, prior to his resignation of the pas
torate, did not exceed n scoro of members.
Tho Spokane papers glvo an account of
n new organization by former members of
McInturR's church In Spokane, at which n
commlttteo wns rppolntcd to cngago a hall
nnd to Invito Ilov. Savldgo to visit Spo
kane for a fow woekB nnd to help thorn to
get started nnew. An lntorvjcw with Itev.
Mclnturff Is published, wherein ho states
that ho will go to the Pacific coast to super
intend tho work of his church and to look
after n colony that Is said to havo been
formed. Ono of his friends In Omaha has
a letter from him statins that ho expects
to reach Omnha soon, but niny bo delnyed
by nn effort to ralso money with which to
lift tho noto no gave tho Widow Mlchle.
It will bo remembered that when Savldgo
and Mclnturff parted compnny about n
scoro of members of tho Pcoplo's church
seceded. Thoy perfected an organization
nnd aro holding services on Cuming street.
It Is said tho leaders havo frequently dls
cuBsed Mclnturff'a course nnd some of
them hold to tho opinion thnt he should
not bo recognized as nn officer of tho
church until ho can restoro to Widow
Mlchlo tho money ho borrowed. Thero Is
llttlo doubt that Mclnturff would como to
Omaha nt onco If ho could raise tho money.
In the hopo thnt ho may bo ablo to do so
the trial of tho caso pending In tho district
court wns postponed ono month. Evl
denco In tho case already prcpured for tho
trial Is known to bo of a sensational na
turo concerning similar transactions,
Itev. Savldgo was asked last night If he
intended to accept tho invitation to go to
Spokane, and said: "It Is difficult for me
to decldo If I can get a supply for my
pulpit I may be ablo to arrange to spend
tho month of Jnhuary In Spokane."

Two burglars, probably tho ones who
looted the Kruger resldenco ton days ago,
forced nn entrance ,to tho homo of George
C. Bassett, n contractor, at Eighteenth and
Ulnney streets, Friday night and In their
quest for money thoroughly ransacked the
house. Tholr tactics wero almost Identical
with thoso observed In the Kruger bur
glary. Tho marauders loft several hundred
dollars' worth of sllvcrwaro untouched.
Mr. Bassett's gold watch lay In plain sight
upon tho dresser, but thoy didn't want It.
Seemingly they had uso for nothing but
monoy, and of this they secured only $3,
which was taken from Mr. Bassett's trous
ers pocket.
The burglars entered every room In the
house, Including tho cellar. Tho contents
of bureau drawers were upsot In tho middle
of tho floor and n trail of burned matches
was found In stairway and hall. Being un
ablo to find beer with which to refresh
themselves, as at tho Kruger homo, the
thieves pried open Mr. Bassett's writing
