Mc Donald, and Jabes Cross, presllent of the Thirteen club, were among the Omaha people, present at the execution. Froeeedlaura Before) Cornish. . At U.30 this morning Fred Smith of Omaha, accompanied by Benton Bell, who has looked after Clarke's Interests since his conviction and Imprisonment, appeared before Judge Comlah with an affidavit to the effect that Clarke was Insane and ask ing that a Jury be empanelled to try him. As the affidavit failed to set out Uxat the warden had refused to sign It, objection Was made to by Deputy Attorney General Martin and County Attorney Tyrrell. Judge Cornish Instructed tha attorney to prop erly prepare the affidavit and set tha case for hearing after the noun hour. Numerous witnesses were then examined. Including the chaplain of the penitentiary and sev eral guards, each of whom swore . that Clarke appeared as rational this morning as he had at any time since his Imprison ment. Bell testified that he did not know whether Clark was Insane, but that he acted very peculiar, In that though he ha been hi confidant and chief adviser and friend In hi trouble, thl morning he re fused to speak to him or receive him la hi cell.. The pastor of the African Meth odist church testified that though Clarke received him yesterday and discussed re ligion with him, this morning he refused to talk with him. Dr. Birkner, a member of the Insanity board, telephoned to Judge Cornish after 2 o'clock that he had com pleted his examination of Clarke and would. If necessary, come to the court room and testify. He said h would swear that Clark was sane. Attorney Smith said thl was sufficient and he would submit the case, a the word of Dr. Birkner over the telephone waa just as good a a statement made In court. Judge Cornish then In formed th attorney that he would tele phone Warden BeemeV that he would not Interfere. The hearing was ended at 2:16, Juat forty-five , minute before the time would lapse when Clarke could be legally executed.

The motorman took him to a local physician's office and an examination dis closed he was also shot through the abdo men, a wound he did not know about at th time. He was taken to th hospital and lingered until March 15, when he died. ' Search for Marderer. The South Omaha police at one began a vigorous search for the murderer.-- Two saloon had been held up a short time be fore tho shooting at the street car and It was believed the crimes were all com mitted by the eame party, which after wards proved to be true. 1 It was' through Officer Bellew, a colored ' member of tha South Omaha police force, tha the first clue was secured. Mrs. Nettle Jones, a colored woman, ..told BeJJew Harrison Clark had given tier on the night of the shooting some small change he aald he had secured from two. saloon holdup. He asked her to keep It for htm. Th officers dug up th money and arrested Clarke and afterward Cal , Wain, who waa suspected of being an accomplice. Further clues were given by Wain' wife, who confessed she had made thto masks and hoods for th trio before they left her house on ths night of th holdup. The first conclusive evidence secured was after th arreet of Clarence Gatbright, who turned states evidence and tbld th whole story of. the crime, tracing th rout th three had taken to the two saloons and theno to Albright, whare th attempt waa made to- hold up the car. From th Brat Gathrlght implicated Clark as the one who held the big Colt' revolver from which the fatal bullet came... At one of the sa loons, Clurk struck a man over th head with th gun and was afterward identified by one of the, men (n the place. The re volvers were dug up. under Wain's, house and In Clarke's room and 'a complete chain of evidence woven around the three. Clark Leader of Gaasr. Harrison Clarke, who waa implicated a the leader of tha crowd and the man who actually fired th fatal shot earn within an aca of escaping twice. Shortly after the murder he waa arrested, but Mrs. Net tle Jonea, who afterward gav the tip leading U hi conviction, told th officer he had been with her all th evening. Clark waa then released. . He was arrested again after Mrs. Jones told her second story, which proved to b true. Clark came near escaping from th city Jail at Lincoln, whtr h was takeo when threat of lynching were made her, tie had dug Ms way part way through th wall of the building when be waa discovered accidentally. Mob Tloleaec fraveated. Th night Flury died a mob composed largely of street car employes gathered at the county Jail and threatened to break In and lynch Clark and hi companions, but th sheriff had spirited htm away, and after a committee had Investigated th mob went away. At the trial of Clark Gathrlght wa the principal witness. HI testimony tending to how that Clark held th big Colt's re volved during th shooting was corrobo rated by saveral Witness! who were In th saloon th trio held up. Clark ad mitted hi connection- with the crime, but couUcded It waa GatbrlgLt who held th gun and not he. This waa ths principal contention during the trial. The Jury re turn a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed tho penalty at death. Wain waa afterward tried and given a life sentence and Gathrlght pleaded guilty and wa sentenced to twenty years In the peni tentiary. .; , , Clarke waa sentenced to hang by Judge Button, the data of the execution being fixed at November 12. The supreme court suspended sentence In order to hear his ap peal and afterward' fixed the data at Do ceirber 13. - Clarke' attorney at the trial were E. R. Leigh of Boutn Omaha and Hugh Myers of Omaha. They were appointed by Judge Button oil .Clarke's plea of poverty, but after th trial Clarke waa dissatisfied and secured W. H. Crow of Omaha and J. B. Strode of Lincoln to prosecute his caae In .supreme court. Indirectly Clarke owe his death on th gallows to the fact be" wa acquitted by a Jury in district court for a minor offerut a short time before the Flury murder was committed. Clarke was charged wUh breaking Into a box car and stealing enough candy to stock a confectionary tore. Strong evidence waa brought agalnet him, but throughv a numbur of friends he proved an alibi and wa ac quitted. If he had been convicted he would have been serving In the penltcu tlary at the tlm 'th murder wa com mitted. Clark wa also Implicated by Gath rlght' confession in th holding up of a street car at almost th same spot a th Flury holdup February 28, about a week before Flury wa killed. LOCAL INTEREST I THE HANGING Score of Penan Call to Kaow If th Execatlea Took Place. Any person desiring to obtain a correct idea a to how much local Interest waa felt In th matter of Harriaon Clarke's execu tion could, have me with th most com pletely satisfactory results had he or sh sat at on of th telephone In the editorial room of The Be Friday. Early In th day, -even before the hour set and advertised for the execution, th anxlou ones began to call up, and from that tlm on throughout th day th In quiries poured la over tha phone In veri table streams. In the majority of cases the curious were women, though many men found It Impossible to suppress their eager nee to . learn th news. Sometime th merf answer that hi execution had been delayed did rot do; th Inquirer wanted to know the detail and Insisted on hang ing to tha telephone until he did know, perhaps not supposing that he wa only on of uore who wer making ltf stren uous In th newspaper office.
