B 8 THE OMAITA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 13, 1007. HOUSEBOAT IS HEARD FROM Myiteriong Vessel Atiociated with Burie Murder Kow Down South. SPOKEN FROM WICKLYFFE, KENTUCKY .friends of Dead Man tio There to Sea Parties, bat Miss Thosa and lla.tra In Pnr-aalt. Th mysterloun houseboat 'Which Is al leged to have figured somewhat In the Herbert O. Burke murder at Florence Oc tober 7 has again been heard from at Wlck lyfTe, Ky. Watchman Daly at the water works re ported having- seen the houseboat and at the requt of the two men traveling- with it he watched It the night of the death of young- Burke up to 9 o'clock, when he went off duty. He also said the boat had come apletely disappeared the following- morning early, but where it had gone no one knew and In fact no one knew anything about the houseboat, neither had anyone seen it but Daly, The olue was sufficient, however, to war rant an Investigation by the friends of young Burke. It will be remembered that this story of the houseboat did not come to the aurfaco until some six or eight weeks after the death of Burke. A visit was made to Bloux City, from which point tha houseboat had departed, and It was learned that a young physician and his friend had actually left Bloux City In a houseboat with the purpose of making a Journey thereby to New Orleans. The phy sician was an amateur photographer and also a writer, and he arranged with one of the Bloux City papers to furnish occasional letters on the way down. This agrees with the statement made by Daly that one of the parties claimed to be a newspaper man. Expected to Go to Wlpklyfre. It was further learned at Sioux City that the young man accompanying the physician had written back te his home at Bloux City from soma point on the Mississippi river above St. Louis, stating they ex pected to make quite a stop at Wlcklyffe, Ky, and that mall could reach them there. The letter also told a story to the effect that the voyagers had stopped at Florence the night of October 7 or S, with the Inten tion of spending Sunday there. They tied tip the boat at the water worka Inlet house and asked one of the men there to watch it. They then went up into Florence, vis ited the water works pump house and got their supper amd about 10 o'clock started back for the boat To their surprise the boat was gone. They searched up and down the river some little distance for it and then started down the river bank to ward Omaha, thinking that it might have broken loose and drifted down stream. About a quarter of a mile down the old railway track that skirts the river there they met two men who said to them: looklna- for Dead Body. "We are looking for a dead body. Have you boys seen anything of one?." The voyagers had not seen any body and so told them and asked them If they has seen a house boat adrift down the river. The two men did not answer and after going a short distance further down the river bank they discovered the house boat tied up to the bank. They took pos session of It again and continued their voyage down the river. The letter had made the further Inquiry as to what was the outcome of the finding of a dead body at Florence and asked for newspaper re ports of the matter if there was any truth In the story. A friend of tha Burke family went to Wlcklyffe, Ky., with the hope of meeting and conferring -with the voyagers, but ar rived there too late to meet the parties as they had left there a day or two prior to his arrival. This friend will go to New Orleans to see the parties on their arrival In that city. dead numerous congratulations from his many friends for his gritty fight against Pittman. Although rittmiin was armed with two revolvers and had once tried to shoot the officer. Van Deusen threw away his club and bore the negro to the ground by sheer Ftrrnptli, and tlien had his hands full In protecting the robber from the angry and exclti-d mob that had chased Pittman from the hotel. Pitt man was evidently armed with one revolver too many, as one of the weapons was accidentally discharged in his hip pocket s he ran from the ddor of the hotel. When the negro grabbed the money he placed one of his revolvers in his hip pocket and it went off accidentally Just as he left the hotel, burning a hole in his trousers.

Ilttman refused to waive a preliminary examination, so Officer Van Deusen was put on the stand and told the story of how Pittman had fired two shots at him when he was trying to accomplish his arrest. The officer testified that Pittman fired one shot point blank at his fan from a dis tance of only three feet, and after he had been thrown to the ground by the officer fired a second shot, which passed beneath Van Deusen's left arm.
