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.

charge of robbing Eugene Atkins, hotel
cashier, of $700 In the kitchen of the Tier
Grand hotel early Thursday evening, John
Pittman was arraigned In police court Sat
urday morning on the charge of shooting
, at Officer Van Deusen with Intent to kill.
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.
Judge Crawford .bound Pittman ever for

sufficient. Inasmuch as Pittman was under
another bond of like amount en the rob
