History of Crime.
Rhumway was a farm hand In the em
ploy of Jacob Martin, husband of his
victim On the date of the crime Martin
'ki ' absent from home attending the
Jrirr.ar and when he returned he dis
covered blood stains on the floor. These
he traced up the stairs and was horrified
to find the dead body of his wife
wrapped in bedclothes and pushed back
under a bed. Her throat had been cut
from ear to ear.
The alarm was at once given and It
was found that Hhumway, the hired man,
was missing. He had taken the horse
and buggy, gun and $00 In money and
started south. The man had been In
the employ of Mr. Martin but four days
and atated that he was from Missouri.
He Is now 31 years of age.
Posses started In pursuit and two days
later the fugitive was captured In
Beneca. Kan. As he was alighting from
a train In the custody of two officers
however, he made his escape. A large
crowd was on the platform and as soon
as he stepped off the car he darted
among the curious onlookers ami man
aged to elude the men who had him In
charge, and who were deterred from
shooting by fear of hitting some Inno
cent person. He was chased to a corn
field, hut those in pursuit failed to find
him.
The hunted man then walked to Su
peiior, Mo., where he took a train for
Oregon. Mo., near which place he was
raptured on September "t. He was work
lng on a farm and had taken no precau
tlons to hide his Identity. He was well
known In that lelnlty. where lie had
fornuilv worked.
Hhumway has steadfastly maintained
his Irncucme. He stated when taken
Into ciiMoiv that on the day of the mur
ilrr he wad working In the field and
upon returning th house discovered
that -the crime had been committed. He
ftnroil that he would be suspected, so
rndi jk ovc.l tn make hU escape. He was
tried and i onvlctcd and sentenced to
deatil l.lx i''l''i to the supreme court
was bused i; hi alleged Irregularity In
enu-'HiincilinK the Jury and was over
ruled, a wan the motion for rehearing.
On the latter the court was evenly di
vided The . opinion was written by
Justice Lietton and concurred i In by
Uarne3 and Root. Chief Justice Reese
and Faweett and Dean dissented, ' while

with the, attorney general's office, was
disqualified from sitting on the case.

Sw Trial for Callahan.
Daniel Callahan, the Omaha man con
victed In Douglas county of procuring a
man named Clark to open graves In Pros
pect Hill cemetery in January, 1906, with
out the knowledge of relatives of the
deceased, was given a new trial. The
court holds Callahan i Instructions to
the grave digger, as superintendent of the
cemetery, were not such as to Incite the
man to disinter the bodies of the dead,
other than as would be done In his ordinary
duties. The court reversed the case.
Watson ot Disbarred.
John C. Watson, the well known Ne
braska City attorney, Is found by the court
not guilty of conduct such as to warrant
Judgment of disbarment or suspension from
practice, though It was not such as to be
commended. The disbarment proceedings
against him are therefoie reversed and dis
missed. Watson was charged with attempting to
deceive and practice fraud upon the court
and causing a false, forged and fraudulent
affidavit to be made. The action grew out
of the sensational suit of Charles D. But
terfield against Mlntree K. Carton. An
affidavit which had been dictated to a
stenographer In the presence of A. G. Gra
ham and which was to be typewritten
sb'.ve the signature of the latter upon a
piece of paper, was later found to be In
complete and had additions made to It.
The signature of the affiant later appeared,
rot where written, but at the foot of the
extended affidavit. Disbarment proceed
ings were Instituted and were pushed by
William Hayward. A commission consist
ing of District Judges Frost, Good and
Kellar found Watson guilty and ordered
him suspended from practice for one year.
The court finds that In the ahsence of
any attempt to make use of the paper the
conduct of Watson, while not to be com
mended, wan not such as to warrant the
Judgment against him.
lllls Saloon Men.
The Judgment for $3,730 obtained by I.iizie
Acken against Fred Tinglehoff and other
Lincoln saloonkeepers and their bondsmen
Is cfflrmed by the coi:rt. Mrs Acken sued
for herself and her minor children, allegr
irg that her husband had been ruined and
rendered Incapable of ci.rrlng a living for
his family by reason of the liquor furnished
Mm by the defendants. She secured a Judg
ment for the amount stated and appeal
v as taken. The court finds that In cases
of this kind It Is competent to Introduce
the mortality tables to show the expectancy
of life when there Is sufficient foundation
by evidence that the man's Incbrlty has
permanently Impaired his earning capacity.
