TRIAL OF SPELLMAN BEGINS
Criminal Ccnr' Tikes Up Case of Kurder
is Eecxrad Degree.
INCIDENT OF UNION PACIFIC STRIKE
Caldwell, the Mardered Man. W as
Srke Breaker and g-pellmnn,
the rrnned, la tie tea
f a striker.
Judge Baxter of the criminal branch of the
district court took up yesterday afternoon
the state's rase against John Spellman, who
as a participant In the frscas that resulted
in the death of Earl Caldwell Is charged
with murder in the second degree. Deputy
County Attorney Lysle Abbott will prose
cute, with the assistance of W. F. Gurley,
employed by Caldwell's widow; A. S.
Ritchie, appointed by the court, will defend.
It will be a Jury trial and is expected to
occupy some time.
The trouble that resulted in Caldwell's
death occurred at the southeast corner of
Twelfth and Cass streets at 11 o'clock the
night of September 14 last, and was an in
cident of the Union Pacific machinists'
strike to the extent that Spellman was a
son of Mike Spellman. a striker, and Cald
well a strike breaker. John himself was
employed by the Union Pacific on construc
tion work. At the preliminary hearing
Judge Berka of the police court found prob
able cause of action against Spellman and
discharged Charles Pospisal. who was with
him. Since that bearing Spellman has been
out on bond fixed at 87,000. The coroner a
Jury held Spellman responsible for Cald
well's death and recommended that Pospisal
be held for further examination.
Information la lasital Form.
The nature of the conflict was such as to
make difficult its relating, and the county
attorney used a number of phrases In the
Information that sound repetitions!. One
reads that Spellman "made an assault with
Intent to kill and murder," but another
reads that he did "unlawfully, purposely,
willfully, maliciouely and feloniously, but
without deliberation or premeditation, kill
and murder."
In describing the assault the Information
relates that Spellman, with his right hand,
struck Caldwell, knocking the latter with
great force and violence to the ground;
caused him to fall upon the back of his
head and to have upon the back of his
head a mortal wound of which he died.
The state has a complete record of the
proceedings in police f ourt and hopes. It is
understood, to be able to use this as a lever
upon any of the witnesses who may be over
conservative In testifying. The witnesses
called by the state Include George L. Per
kins of 1842 North Nineteenth street, a
striker; Raymond Chadwlck of 1814 North
Twenty-first street, another striker; Dr.
William R. Lavender, who conducted the
autopsy; Mordecai W. Ball, who was a
blacksmith at the Union Pacific shops, and
Captains H. P. Hare and Patrick Mostyn,
with Detectives H. W. Dunn, J. T. Donohoe
and Henry Hetifeld of the police depart
ment.
WANT MORE PAY, NOT STRIKE
Switchmen's Official Denies that Men
Are Contemplating; Trouble
Over Wastes.
Now that the Vnion Pacific has taken
the lead In giving its switchmen the raise
In wages contained in the Chicago scale
other lines converging in Omaha will be
called upon for similar action. The Burl
iQgton. Missouri Pacific and any other line
which haa not yet made this concession
will be asked to do so. The switchmen
on the Missouri Pacific have already ar
ranged to present their demand and those
on the Burlington west of the Missouri
river are shaping their plans for the same
purpose.
W. E. Bowen, secretary of the switch
men's general grievance committee on the
Burlington, held a conference with Gen
eral Manager Holdrege Monday, but it
was given out thst the matter of an in
crease in wages was not the subject of
discussion. However, a conference of the
Burlington switchmen was held in Omaha
last Sunday and it was definitely decided
to make a request, "not a demand." as
the head of the order here expressed it,
tor the Chicago scale. The Chicago,
Burlington at Quincy was one of the
roads which gave its men this scale in
Chicago last week. and. notwithstanding
the fact that the B. & M. had recently
granted its men a small advance, it is not
questioned tor a moment by the trainmen
that It will reject the new request.
A story printed in an evening paper yes
terday to the effect that eighteen Illinois
Central switchmen, presumably in Omaha.
had given notice of their Intention to
strike unless given the Chicago scale
within twenty-four hours created no little
amusement among some of the switchmen
last night. Inasmuch as there is not a
single switchman on the Illinois Central
working in Omaha, and, furthermore, in
asmuch as the switchmen on this or any
other line would not have any authority
to strike without the sanction of their
central organisation, which, according to
an official of the local switchmen, could
cot be obtained in this ease, since there la
no occasion for striking.
Dr. M. J. Ford, jr., who has been head
of the local switchmen for many years.
said last night:
'It Is all wrong to aay that any of the
switchmen are contemplating a strike. That
is entirely out of the question. No
switchmen have planned any each action.
It would seem, Inasmuch as every road
In the west to which the switchmen have
presented their demsnd had acceded to
them, that it would be utter folly to talk
of striking. That is precisely the thing we
want to avoid. It has been my Impression
all along that the Illinois Central waa
among the roads which granted this scale
at Chicago."
Confirming what has already been
printed in The Bee regarding tbe origin
of the general demand for higher wages
among the trainmen throughout the coun
try. Doctor Ford said:
"Engines are pulling twice the loads
they used to. thus cutting this cost of
railroading In two, and the roads are
earning aboat double what they were a
few years ago, akereas wages have re
mained at the old figures. This, and not
a desire for strikes, has given rise to the
general movement for more money. The
fairness sad reasonableness of the prop
osition have appealed to even the railroad
magnates, site they would not hsve so read
ily granted the demands which have al
ready been made."

CUTS HIS THROAT WITH RAZOR
Loals Weahrer. Sick and IJInronr
agca. Ends His life In His
Apartments.
Louis Weahrer. a blacksmith who has
been a frequenter of the saloon at Thir
teenth and Harney atreets, took his life
last night, cutting his throat with a razor
at about 11:56 o'clock in a room over the
saloon. Joe Senster, his roommate, who
was in the apartment at the time informed
the proprietor, who In turn notified the
police. The coroner later removed the re
mains to the morgue and will probably hold
an Inqueat today. Weahrer waa a German,
4S years old and single, and had lived in
Omaha for over thirty years.
Weahrer had been employed by the J. H.
McSbane Grading "company at work on the
road and returned to the city about three
months ago, sinoe'whkh time he has occu
pied the room jointly with Senster. He
waa much of Ibe time under the influence
of liquor, and spent his time about the
saloon. He was afflicted with rheumatism
and was without money.
Yesterday evening when the two were in
the room Weahrer appeared to be greatly
wrought up and talked of throwing himself
out of the window. About 9 o'clock Sens
ter went down and told the barkeeper that
Louis seemed to have snakes. He then
returned to the room and lay down on his
bed after turning out the gas. but could
not sleep because of the noise made by his
partner. After a long time he heard a
splashing sound, and asked: "Louis, what
are you doing with that water?" Receiv
ing no reply be struck a match and lighted
the gaa. Weahrer lay cn his back on the
cot. gasping out his lasi. his threat cut
from ear to ear. and the bloody razor on
the chair beside the bed where be hsd
placed it.

evening to continue on their journey to

out to buy some candy and did not return.
After waiting a reasonable time and search
ing in the Immediate neighborhood, Mr.
Killlnger notified the police. Shortly after
thia the patrolman at Thirteenth and Wil

that he had just found a small boy, who
was hurrying southward and hysterically
asking the whereabouts of a depot, name

eila, a derelict from Massachusetts em
ployed as a maid. As might be expected,
the tourist party has a variety of enjoyable
experiences, which are chronicled with sym
pathetic interest and with a breetlness
characteristic of the author. Sketches of
scenes and incidents are framed with bright
comment by members of the party, all of
whom by agreement shun the political as
pects of the country. A clever bit of ro
mance in the life of Salemlna is brought to
a thrilling and satisfactory climax at the
conclusion of the tour. The Illustrations,
however, seriously tnar an otherwise merit
orious volume. Several of them are re
pugnant to the author's spirit. The pigsty
cottage, scarcely mentioned, is a conspicu
ous jibe, and faces are drawn as the type
of the rsce as repulsive and untrue as tbe
buffoon stage Irishman, a degenerate char
acterization which the author vigorously
denounces. Houghton, Mifflin 4t Co., Boston.
