The b d:. s of Mr. Blueman and Miss Hart
v.re both lying on the bed In Misa Hart's
room st her home, Miss Hart clothed In a
nlghtroh. with the bedclothes over her, and
Mr. Blueman lying half on the foot of the
bed, with his feet on the floor. H had all
his clothes on but ttls coat.
Both were killed with a small 22-rallber,
vest pocket revolver and both were killed
by ft bullet In the temple. The revolver lay
on the floor Just where. It had dropped from
the hand of Mr. Blueman, Blood marks on
the sheets Indicated that Mr. Blueman had
shot Miss Hart as sfur'fcty on he In-d and
then moved her around' and pulled the
covers over her.
Cats (" Presents.
Indications are from tho appearance of
things that Mr. Bluemnn had shot Miss
Hurt snd then walked Into the other room
to wait to be certain she was dead. Before
writing the notes given shove he secured
.1 hrnvy butcher knife from the kitchen
end deliberately cut to pieces everything
around the house which he had given Miss
Hnrt. The henvy Carpets were alashed
from ope .side of the room to the other.
Tho leather eouch was punctured full of
holes, as was also a large leather chair.
Kxpenslv.. pictures were torn from the
walls and demolished. Miss Harts coat
and picture hat. lyuig cn the sofa, were
pierced through with the knife. Ever, the
sofa pillows were slashed. The broken
glnas and picture frames were strewn all
over the sitting room and parlor and from
tho way the carpet was cut It showed that
SlUeman had spent considerable time In
demolishing the place.
Miss Hart s diamond earrings had been
taken from, her ears. The. gold settings
were found, but the diamonds were miss-
and was married, although not living with
nis wire at the time of the shooting H.
has been going with Ml. Hart for some
time and this has ben quite' noticeable
because of the beauty of the woman.
Miss Hart was 24 Tears of age. a blonde
and quite comely. She had been married
to a man named Harrison, but had se
cured a divorce.
Miss Hart lived at 4304 Burdette street
with her brother. Byron Hsrt, who was
csshler of the Omsha Ft in ting company
It la said, she and her brother owned the
house, which wss given them by their fa
ther, a retired traveling man who lives In
Lincoln. Their mother died about one year
ago. Mr. Blueman lived at the Rome.
Both Shots Ge Tree,
The revolver showed that but two shots
had been fired and both were effective and
both were aimed at practically the same
place the temple.
Blueman Is, well known by sight to many
In Omaha who did not know him personally
because of the automobiles he drives. A
year ago he had a big red machine which
waa the terror of all who got In the road.
He owned a beautiful snow white machine
at the time of his death. The machine was
standing In front of Miss Hart's home
when the police officer arrived and It was
left standing there when alt bad left be
cause no extra chauffeur was on hand to
drive It to towr
Coroner Brewer ordered both bodies taken
to the Davis undertaking parlors and cams
himself from Bouth Omaha to take charge
of the case.

Another note wss fpund on the sitting
room table which Bleuman had evidently
written earlier In the evening. It was ad
dressed to J. p. t ,,!stock and was:

The tragedy occurred about 11:18 o'clock
, and was discovered an hour later by a
epsciali officer who wgjp sent to the Hart
home at the request of J. P. Comstock
Mr. Blueman'a office manager.
About U o'clock Comstock received a
telephone message from Bluemsn in which
the latter requested Comstock to com
munlcate with his brother In Hastings
Neb., and Inform hlm that a "terrible
tragedy", was about to occur. Comstock
quickly called up the police station and told
them of what ha had heard. The night
ssrgeant attempted to reach the Hart home
by telephone, but was told by the telephone
central office that the receiver was off the
hook and that the place eou'd not be raised

- After Meetla Wssisa.
Bleuman, It has been positively escer
talned, finally came to the point where he
felt the burden of his luxury. He was
Jealous when Miss Hart received atten
tions from another man, but at the same
time he tried to Induce the woman whom
ho had schooled In extrsvagance to be con
tent with less, but she had learned the les
son too well; she found It Impossible to
Curb her expensive tastes.
Week before last Bleuman took Miss Hart
to Kansas City and they registered at one
of the leading hotels as man and wife, re
maining there for a week, living In luxury.
On that trip he tried to prevail upon Miss
Hart to loosen her clutches upon him. His
methods of action were unique. He re
vealed something of his uneasy state of
mina to a friend last Wednesday, whom
he Invited to a popular cafe for dinner and
to whom he opened his heart.
"I had rooms In that Kansas Cltv hnt.i
costing me $9 a day and We were fairly
mowing me money to the winds," Sleu-
mm cms inenci. "i had got sick of
thls sort of thing and told the little girl we
wouia nave to stop. She seemed utterly
Insensible to the amount of money I was
spending on her and yet she was costing
... .mm 10 ii.uw a month.
"I tried to show her by comDarlson bnw
extravagantly we were living. I asked her
10 go witn me on to St. Louis, where I
could take her to a place and get our
breakfast for 5 cents. I wanted to contrast

Minted at Ralclde.
And then Bleuman stopped fchort In his
connaentlal narrative to his friend, look
ing him straight In the eye.
But. ." (calling his friend bv nimii
"with all that fine time we had In Kansss

he exclaimed, "not a cent! That was once
wnen I got rrom under."
And then he laughed In derision.
"Didn't cost you a cent, it 19 t davT'
saea ins rrtend In surprise. "What do
you mean? Who paid for It?"
"My heirs," replied Bleuman quickly and
In a low tone of voice.
To another friend Bleuman, about, the
same time, remarked:
"I may die with my boots on, but never
broke."
There were two or three men who were
not aurprised when the news that he had
taken his own life came out.
That day while Sleuman was entertaining
hla confidential friend at the cafe a woman
sitting at a table opposite them came over
to Sleuman's table and asked him If he
could pay "that dress bill of 912 now?"
"Why, certainly," replied Sleuman, "as
well now as any time." and took out his
checkbook and wrote the woman a check
for the amount.
That was to pay for one of Miss Hart's
dresses, he told this friend.
Boaaht Hons for Girl.
The home at 4304 Burdette atreet. where
the murder and suicide occurred, would
have been Miss Hart's had she lived, ao
this confidential friend of Sleuman'a says
Bleuman told him that same day at the
cafe that he had bought the Interest In
the home owned by JJohn 8. Hart, the
flrl'a father, who now Uvea In Lincoln
and taken a mortgage en the home, but
intended to turn It over to her. He said
the father knew of their relations and
he bought the home to "get the old man
Bleuman said he had spent some II 000
furnishing thehome. .
Mrs. Sleuman, it la understood, became
aware of her husband's duplicity and left
hlm while they were making their home
at the Rome. Efforts at reconciliation by
friends and relatives were unavailing.
Bleuman betrayed a desire some time ago
to -make up" with his wife, a most es
tlmable womsn, but last Wednesday he
told this friend that he knew he would
never see his wife again.
"It's too late now ever to make up."
he said. "I have treated her too mean."
Stack Wealth.
Mr. Sleuman waa a wealthy man. Aside
rrom his bucket shop busineu in n.i,.
he owned a vast amount of good Nebraska
farming land out In the atate, mostly In
the neighborhood of Trumbull and Hast
ings. A banker In Omaha made this state-

"We had occasion to look Into his af

About a year after that turn In hla life

wire came to Omaha to live. His field
of business was not large enough to suit
him at Hwtlng He engaged In the bucket
shop business here. He and Mrs. Blouman
took up their abode at the Millard hotel.
To show the extravagant habits and tastes
of the man. he decorated his rooms at the
hotel at his own expense of $1,600 and
lived at a rapid clip.
But here again was an evil mile post In

the nominee of the democratic and neo-
ple's parties for governor of Nebraska,
takes the grand prlre and aa a Juaarler he
has tio equal.
The candidates acrobatic feats arc
shown In his easy shitting from banker
to farmer and back to banker again when
flrat trying to catch the farmer vote
and then trying to capture the vote of
the careful depositor In the banks and to
bolster up Mr. Bryan's bank guarantee
theory by advocating It from the atand-
polnt of a banker.
The Juggling and sleight-of-hand feata
now come out since the duke of Alma
has become the nominee of the people'H
party by the forced flunk on the part of
Oeorge Washington Uerge, the rightful
nominee, but who was made the "fall
guy" by Brother-in law Tommy Allen.
onaiienoerger then accepted the popu
list nomination as the second high man
and bla.oned abroad the information:
'Democratic and People's Parties' Nom-
nea for Governor." But ShallcnbeiKer
was not as farslghted as he is credited
with being, or else he thouaht the voter
of this state were too dumb to see
through the sham, for In accepting the
second nomination he accepted platform
declarations at the antipodes of his be
liefs as previously expressed and. for that
matter, as now given vent to.
"We are In favor of a county option
law." So reads the populist platform
adopted by the party in this state on
September 22 of this year.
Fits Himself to Both.
"I believe in personal lights and in
th. privilege of every man taking a drink World's
wnen ne wants It." So haa Mr. Hhallen
berger, standing on. the populist pisi
form, been quoted aa saying In more than
one speech.
By accepting the populist nomination Mr.
Phallenberger says he believes In a county
option law and the consequent restriction
on the sale of liquor. By his speeches on
personal rights, Mr. Biiallrnberfier says he
does not believe In a county option law and
tne resultant restriction on the sale of In
toxicants.
"win onauenDerger is to be believed?
Are the democrats and populists of Ne
braska to believe the Dr. Jekyl Bhallen
uerger, or are tney to believe the Mr. Hyde
Shallenberger? The candidate hopes and
wants tnem to believe both, but his sham
nas Deen discovered and the farmer-banker.
iiquor-pronimtlon candidate finds himself
in me perilous position of being forced to
an explanation
Tho Jlmocrats of Omaha.
Mayor Datiiman. who was defeated by thh
same Shallenberger, want to know. Tho for.
elgn voters, who have been told that Shal-
encerger would let them have a glass of
oeer on Bundsy the same as In tho old
countries, want to know what he means
by declaring for a county option law. The
prohibition voters of the state want to
know what the double-header candidate
means by announcing that he Is for per
sonal liberty.
Hat He Answers Not,
But Ashton C. Shallenberger answers not.
In Omaha the candidate, masking as Mr
Hyde, tells the people: "I am for personal
liberty and, with Mayor Dahlman. would
never approve a county option law."
In the rural districts the csndldate
masking as Dr. Jekyl, tells the peonle- "i
stand on the platform of the people', party
which declares In favor of a county option
law."

voters whom he lias been trying to con

populist) party Is the party to vote for. but
It has had Its effect among the democrats
and populists themselves. The deception

attempt to capture I votes by whatever
