The police believe they have located Oarnet C. Porter and are particularly plea led In view of recent disclosures made to Deputy County Attorney Abbott In the Affidavits of William H. Duquette and his wife, Julia, of 2519 Parker street. These affidavits tell of an alleged effort to buy false affidavits against Albert Edbolm, ac cusing the Utter of unmentionable offenses In an effort to dissuade him from pressing the prosecution of Porter. In addition to the Indictment for sending Obscene matter through the malls, returned against him by tbs federal grand Jury, the district grand Jury returned three against him, two for libel - contained In circulars he ( supposed to have sent out and In an article he had published in a South Omaha paper, and one for assault with Intent to do great bodily Injury to Mr. Edholm. Fred M. Hans, a railroad detective who bad been the hero ot some - of Porter's news novelettes contributed to eastern publica tions of . yellow, persuasion, went his ball for 1, 500 and Porter was to appear for trial during the February term of the dis trict court,' which closed last week. Porter failed to appear and now Hans says he Is Just as anxious as tbs officials to find tbs absentee.

The rest of bis story, Is, In substance, as follows: In the course of a chance meeting, July IS last. Porter said to him that he had "bad a llttla trouble over sending obscene matter through the malls and guessed he would go to Kansas City." Early In ths evening of January 7 they again met acci dentally at Twenty-fourth and Seward streets and Porter, who was on his way to nans nouae,- said he bad to have evi dence collected, for his case.

He laid tbe paper on the table and a roll of bills on top of It, and proposed that they go before a notary at once or call one to tbe house, taring further that he didn't believe either Duquette or his wife would ever be called Into court, but If they were he would give each $150 extra. The affi davit was in support of Porter's allegations concerning Edholm. Duquette read tbe affl davit and refused to sign It. saying he knew of do such occurrence, but Porter left the affidavit and told him to think over the offer. February 3 they met again In front of the poetofflce and Porter asked him to walk to his office, saying: "I've got to get out of this deal and you're tbe man who can help me out. I understand you are a friend of Fred Hans, asd Hans has referred you to me, saying that anything you did or started to do you went through with and came out best. You're just the kind of a man I want." Duquette repeated that hs wouldn't sign and that his wife bad refused to have anything to de with It. Porter asked to have the affidavit back and Duquette said he had burned It. Detective Hs Other Evldeace. He had not burned It, however, and De tectlve Donohoe secured It a few days later when called Into Edholm's store, where the Duquettes had called to let Edbolm know what Porter was doing. Donohoe stated yesterday that he knows ot two other similar affidavits and that one of them ha. been signed by an enemy of Edholm's. One Is in Sioux City and anothsr In Dead wood. Ths testimony of Mrs. Duquette is largoly corroborative of that ot her hut band, as given above. 1 . At the federal building Assistant District Attorney Rush said: "Tbs Porter case will be called next week and if the defendant is not present we will declsre the bond for feited and Immediately proceed against ths bondsmen. We had dsclded to let the stats have ths first trial at the man. but If It Is to let the matter drag along ws will take a hand right away. I think we will be able to locate him and then we will have the active assistance of the bondsmen, as they will certainly be held accountable to ths government for his appearance."

Miss Leone Eller, the judge's daughter, asked them to wait till her father. who had been telephoned for, should re turn, but they declined. Oa being refused the key. Coroner Brailey forced the door to the room where the body lay and Dr. Lav ender performed tbe autopsy. Dr. Lavender gave It aa his opinion that the boy died from peritonitis, the result of appendicitis. The coroner and doctor left the premlees berore tbe return of Judge Eller. Mlaa Eller'a Story. Miss Eller stated that when Coroner Brailey arrived she Informed him that her father had gone to town, but would be back in twenty-five minutes. "I told him that I would not admit him to the room during my father's absence," said Mlas Eller, "but that they could wait until his return. Tbs coroner said, 'We are In a hurry, and I know what he will say anyhow, so we will go on with the examination.' He thsa asked me for the key to the room and I refused U. He pulled the bolt on the door' and op-Eod It without breaking the lock. Both the doctor and the coroner then went Into the room and examined the body. Presently the coroner came out and asked me for some water to wash bis hands, and I gave tt to him, with the understanding that I was not assisting him. Later hs came for a bowl ot water and said he wanted to clean up the muss they had made In the room. I re fused him this and told him to let the muss remain. They did so. While the men were here my brother went across the street to the telephone and called for father and was told that he would be at home as soon as he could get here. I Insisted on the cor oner waiting until his arrival, assuring him that father would be hers In twenty-five minutes. He refused, however, and went on with the examination.

A few minutes later Judge Eller was seen at hi. home. He was very Indignant at the ac tion of the coroner. Jndge Eller Statement. "I expect to protect my rights as a cltl sen," said the judge, "and I Intend to make the stand right now. No coroner has a right to touch a body without tbe consent of the family, and when my door was forced open the law was broken. A coroner can view a body and that is all. A coroner had no right to hold an Inquest on a body over the protest of ths family, unless the coroner believed that murder has been committed. They bad no right to enter here and mutl late the body of my son and the law was clearly broken. Anyone who reads the statute can easily see that. I am ready at any time to obey a writ Issued from a court according to law. but I am not ready to obey orders which have no law back of them. I have been harassed for the last three years oa account of my belief and I Intend to stop right now and make a stand. Remember, I am not speaking for the church and tbe church Is not responsible for what I do. My religion Is the religion of my mother, and my wife and I am going to stand by It, "I went out of my office for a few minutes this morning and when I returned my office girl told me that some one had called up and asked for me, saying: This Is ths coroner.' The girl told him that I would be at home In a few minutes. 'Tell him be Is a d d brute,' said tbe voice, and the man rang off. I got home as quickly as I could and have just learned what was done. I shall see whether a man can come Into my house and force doors and mutilate ths body af my son," coatlnued the judge. 'They have broken ths law and I shall see whether I am to have my rights as a cltiien or not," The judge said there was no law In Nebraska In regard to a person dying from neglect. Will Prevent aa Iaaaest. When asked It he would allow the coroner to hold aa inquest and what course be Intended to pursue If aa laquest was attempted Judge Eller said: "I will not say what I Intend to, do at this time, but I will say this: I. Intend to be at home from now on and It is very likely that no Inquest will be held." Dr. Lavender stated that ho waa not aure whether the boy's life could havs been saved by a physician or not. "An operation would have been necessary and even this, Wednesday night, would have done no good. Had a physician seen the boy at first when he had appendicitis an operation might havs saved him, but of course there Is no telling." Whsa Informed of the doctor's statement Judgs Eller said: "I am glad to hear him say that; It gives me great relief."

It will be left permanently In the center of the main hall, where It stood during the ceremonies, an enduring monument to tbe class of '02. TO INVITE EDITORS EARLY Ak-Sar-Bea Governors Will Probably Take la Until Drivers This Month. Tha Board of Governors of tne Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben have under consideration the question of Inviting the editors ot ths papers In ths Omaha territory to visit ths den and become members of the order earlier In the season than they were In vited ' last year. ' A number ot the mem bers have suggested thst May 26 he the date on which Nebraska editor, will ba shown the mysteries surrounding the throne ot tbe merry monarch and that on the following Monday the Iowa editors be Invited.
