In the first half of the fifth, however,
Rohe electrified the crowd by sending a
stinging hit down the third base line and
under the temporary benches in Shcckard'a
territory, reaching third base on the hit.
Donohue struck out attempting to bunt, but
Dougherty was more fortunate. He told
down an easy ono half way between

the ball in beautiful fashion and tossed lo

mere matters of ancient history the rela

The Standard Oil company, he said, was a

The documentary ivldence which the

Is stated constitutes tie bulk of Its case Is
contained In a document authenticated by
the supreme court of the state as the his

that body. It was objected to by the de

sides, included the original trust agreement
of 1SX2, the pleadings in tile ease before the
supreme court in 1S92, which resulted in the
order to dissolve the trust, and the plead

In a journal entry by the court that the
trust had been dissolved. The questions

sired to read, had Just been reached when

Details of the fnqnesl.
The Inquest began at 4:90 o'clock and was
conducted by County Attorney Slabaugh
and Assistant County Attorney roster. The
first witness waa Dr. D. A. Foots. He tes
tified tlAt he conducted the autopsy upon
. i. , .
me uuoy oi nernert u. tsurKe at tne cor
oner's office Monday evening.
"There were no Imperfections upon thu
body except the marks and contus'ons
about the head and face. These were se
vere. The upper Hp and nose were swollen,
the upper lip on the outer and Inner sur
face, the wound indlcat'ng that It may
have been made by a sandbag or a severe
blow of a powerful fist, or by a severe
fall. There were abrasions of the skin be
low the tight eye, both eyes were swcllen.
due to being bit. Some of the marks on
the face could not have been made by mere
lying on cinders. There waa evidence of
another blow between the eyes. There were
some abrasions on the back of the hands
due possibly t lying on the cinders. I
noticed the tieadN moved. very easily.. and
discovered uAon -Vloser " exaw llmrtton "the
neck' was ..broken between the sixth and
seventh cerebral vertebrae. . Such an Injury
considerable Internal hemorrhage, but this
would be due to the position In which the
body waa discovered to be lying. It is
very possible that the neck waa broken
by the blow on the mouth.
Nothtnsr to Indicate Fall.
There were no bruises about the head or
body to Indicate that he had fallen. The
nose was not . bruised, the blow having
struck Immediately under the nose. Had
he fallen from an eminence, especially In
the position he was found, the nose, which
Is the most prominent feature of the face,
would have been bruised or lacerated. I
am of the opinion that death was caused
from the blow on the mouth which broke
his neck."
The second witness was William I. Kin
dred, an employe of the water works at
Florence, who testified to the first dis
covery of th body, giving substantially the
same details that appeared in The Bee
Monday. He added that there were no
marks about where th body lay that In
dicated any struggle. . Tha body was lying
on its, breast, with one hand partly under
the body and the other arm lying length-
wise ot the body, with the palms of his
hands up. Burke's hat lay about five feet
southeast of th c-ooy. I ne nat was lying
with the erown up, ana ii aia noc snow any
Indications of having been In any struggle.
He stated further that he called to D. C.
Has and one or two others at the pump
ing station and they together examined
the body, but did not disturb It, but did
make a careful search all about ther for I
evidences of a, struggle, but could find none. 1
The body lay eighteen feet from the ash
car. and the witness was of the opinion
he could not hav fallen from the car, but
that the body had been placed.
Unas Tells His Experience.
D. C. Hass waa the next witness. He is
pipe superintendent at the pumping sta
tion. He told of Kiodred Informing him of the
body and then corroborated his version ot
the affatr. He said there was a pool of
blood under the bead.
"My first Impression." said Haas, "was
that he fell off tha cinder dump, having
been tripped by an 8xS piece of timber
Just at the ond of the dump which is used
to check the cinder barrows from the
pump house. A sheet Iron apron extends
down ParIv t0 tha center of the car ,

dence of any one being on the car of
cinders that night, but you couldn't tell,
as the footprints would fill up as soon as
the foot was removed. rUtll t do not see
how he could have pitched fifteen r

110 evidence that the body could, have

rl, a. Peters, reporter for The Bee, who
was on th ground immediately after the
body was removed by tne coroner, was
called to the stand. He told the same
story that ha already appeared In The
Bee about the footprints of two men and
two women underneath the ash platform
and the bloody finger marks on the back j
wall under the platform. ,

This rswatd was startad tarly Tues
day morning by la B without
awaiting any notion by tn mayor or
city council, halleving that prompt ac
tion was necessary in such aa ttxtrsm
case. Th other nln business man or
Arms asked to subscribe responded on
th vsry first suggestion and without
a ssoond's hesitation.
The murderer of neither Miss Josephl-n
Rummclhart nor Herbert C. Hurku has
been captured.
The police have a clue which they believe
will lead to the capture of tho nummel
hart murderer. Kvidence Is In theli
hands-pointing from several directions
to one Individual whom they believe is
a negro.
The sheriff has complet charge of tlv
Burke case. Searches of the scene of
death baffle the officers looking for clues.
The coroner will hold an Inquest In the
Rummelhart ease. Thuradiy aftarnxin. Ht
held one in the Burke cii.m. yexi.rimy att
ernoon, the verdict being purely per
functory. Miss Rummelhart was burled at Prospect
Hill yesterday afternoon and Mr. ,jrk
will be burled at Forest Lawn this aft
ernoon. Description of man police are necking:
Negro, black, shiny face; about 26 yes is
of age; weight about 110 pounds; 6 feet
II or 1 inches In height; neatly dressed:
dark coat, soft hat, color and material
not certain.
The third day elnco the murder of Jo
sephine Rummelhart at Twenty -sixth and
Dodge streets last Saturday night closed
Inat night with only slight progress made
b tha - policy. In discovering the porp-t-trator
of the deed, one which ho- not for
many years been euuallcd for brutality
In Omaha.
The one greatest hope held out that the
murdcer will be apprehended, as stilted
by Chief of Police Donahue Tuesdav
evening, when, tired after many hours n'
duty and continued walking, he wont Uonii.
early to get some rest, lies In the offer or
rewards, which now total ti.OoO. In mak ing
this statement Chief Donahue did not
mean to admit helplessness on tho part of
the police department, but meant to "con
vey his confidence in th good Influence of
the rewards toward the betrayal of th
brute.
All of Tuesday waa spent In running
down the numerous rumors and florins
toll the police, many uniformed men Ik
Ing placed tn eltlions' clothes to aid the
detectives. Ten men In plain clothes
continued the starch during the night, and
at mldnlgiit i.otbing had been discovered
to bring the police nearer the goal, but
many stories had been run down, and found
to be groundless, so that when the men g.i
to work this morning their efforts will In
directed along more concerted tin.
It Is a practical certainty the crime whs
committed by a negro and all officers weir
Instructed to look cartfully for colore, 1
men answering thu description. During
the night a numlier ot suspicious-looking
negroes were sent to the city jail and
locked up. but there wore none upon whom
any strong suspicion could rest after they
had been examined. The pews that re
wards to the extent of $1,000 had btcn of
fered was received with joy by the pollc.
and they are now more confident of early
results.
Referring to the matter ot reward, Chief
Chief of Police Donahue said he felt sure
that an offer of money would excite the
cupidity of someone who could name the
murderer. Had It not been for the rewards
offerud, he said, the murderers of Con-
ductor rlury might -never have been app
'
re -
bended.
The description of the negro seen In
the act of taking from the pile of rubbish
1 at Twenty-fifth and Farnara streets the
j club which is supposed to be 'he same
I one that killed the woman, has been given
out by the police. Chief Donahue would
not make the description public Monday,
but now that the same description of
suspicious looking negroes has be.m rfiven
by two other persons, the chief is lod to
believe it Is reasonably correct.
The negro described was seou g ttiti, '
