tion In the federal court hare In an effort
to recover tha amounts of good hard cash
out of which they claimed to have been
buncoed, either by fake foot raoee, horse
race or wrestling matches.
Although Sheriff McCaffery waa very
particular In keeping tha matter quiet, for
fear that It might get In tha newspapers,
original notices of these four suits were
filed with him about 4:30 o'clock yester
day afternoon by S. B. Wadaworth and
N. A. Crawford, attorneys for tha plain
tiffs. The suits are brought hy A. A. Van
Cleve of St. Louis, who would like to get
back the S3.000 which he says the gang bun
coed him out of; James Weber of Shamo
kin. Pa., who like Van Cleve, dropped
$3,000; Joe W. Lelsen of Menominee, Mich.,
who parted with $10,000 by backing the
"dead one," In a fake prize fight, and
M. Jackman, formerly of Minneapolis, now
of Waterloo, la., who waa short tt.OCO af
ter he had become interested In one of the
"prize fights" pulled ofr under the aus
pices of J. C. Maybray and his associates.
All four of the plaintiffs as far aa It
could be learned yesterday were touohed
for their rolls during 1W, prior to the
time that Maybray and his associates made
Council Bluffs their permanent headquar
ters before transferring their operatlona to
Arkansas where they landed into the
clutches of the federal authorities.
The defendants In these four new suits
Include J. C. Maybray, the alleged head
and presiding genius of the gang. John R.

of Princeton, Mo., of being responsible for
his parting with $30,000 and who has been

Council Bluffs. Ernest E. Hart, president
of the First National bank; Benjamin
Marks of this city and practically every

is understood, will file several more aulta
of a similar character In tha near future
as most of tha victims of the Maybray
gang have placed their cases In their

SENATORS SAY THEY KNOW NOT
Senator Barkett Given Fin Iteeen
tlea by levestk Day AdTentlsts
for Taking; I'n Cans of
Clerk.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June 4 -Representative.
Martin and Burke were at th Whit House
today to protest against th removal of
Robert B. Persons, auditor for th In
terior department, and th appointment of
Shobert of Highland. 8. D., a his suc
cessor.
Under th Roosevelt administration, when
th fight between the republican factions
of South Dakota was at fever heat and
when seemingly no mutual ground could
be found for appointments, th president
deolded that th representativea should
have th postoffloes and th senators ail
other federal appointments of presidential
character.
That condition obtained until President
Taft laid down th ml that all offloes
dependent upon th senate for confirmation
should original with th senators of th
particular state Interested. Under this rul
ing, undoubtedly, Senators Gamble and
Crawford will be recognized In the appoint
ment of a successor t Persons, who I
persona non grata to the South Dakota
senators, but very close to the members
from that slat In th nous.
It waa Intimated tonight that certain
veiled charges had been filed against Mr.
Ehober by the Klttredge wing of the repub
lican party in the lower house, represented
by ' Martin and Burke, and that these
charges might defeat Mr. Shober's appoint
ment. Senators Gambia and Crawford said
tonight that they knew nothing about
any charges against Mr. Shober and that
they were united In an effort to bring about
his nomination to tha plac now held by
Mr. Persons.
Barkett Popular with Adventlete.
Senator Butkelt waa an honored guost
tonight at a monster meeting of the Inter
national Convention of Seventh Day Ad
ventlsts at Tacoma park, a suburb of
Washington. Burkett several years ago
took up the case of a government olerk
who, being a Seventh Day Adventlst, re
fused to work on Saturday, on the grounds
of his religion. The clerk stated he waa
willing th government should "dock" him
for his absence on Saturday, but this waa
not satisfactory to the department and his
dismissal waa ordered. Th senior senator
from Nebraska pursued th case to Pral-
dent Roosevelt, who finally decided that
a man' religious principles should be re
spected, even to the extent of absence
from his work, provided he recompensed
the government for the tlm lost. As a re
sult of this ruling that partloular clerk is
still In th service, and In consequence
the Seventh Day Adventlsts tonight gave
Senator Burkett a big aendoff.

gerous records, and the discovery that
James Shelton, the man arrested In Den
ver, went there In an auto, were the de
velopments yesterday In the train robbery
affair.
It is asserted that Shelton was seen both
at Kearney and North Platte on his way
to Denver In the car, and that he was nub
Jected to scrutiny In the latter town. North
Platte, however, waa looking for four men
in a car, and Shelton was allowed to go
on hla way. It Is believed that he got
away with the contents of the mall sacks
which were found the night of the robbery.
Evidence seems also to point to the fact
that Shelton was the man who guided the
auto to the scene of the holdup, and there
lit the signal beacon which led Woods and
Torgensen to make Engineer Mlkeljohn
bring the train to a stop.
Private conferences between each holdup
suspect and Detective Macdnnald of Spo
kane were held at the county Jail Thurs
day afternoon. Macdonald would tell noth
ing of what was said or dona and neither
affirmed or denied the Idea that a eonfer
slon was secured.
Assistant Special Agent John C. Vlccard
of tha Union Pacific and Chief Canada
held a aonference with the Spokane officer
later In the afternoon. They refused to
divulge tha details of the conference.

MINE EN, June 4 (Special Telegrams
Bert Taylor was found guilty of murder
In the first degree and the death penalty
fixed by the. Jury this afternoon after a
twenty-nine-hour debate. His execution Is
set for September 17, but the case will o
to the supreme court and a delay may in
tervene. The Jury was given the case at noon
Wednesday and reached a verdict at S
o'clock this afternoon. Owing to the ab
sence of Judge Dungan from the city the
verdict could not be brought In until i
p. m. Meanwhile, aa It became known that.,
a conclusion had been arrived at. lnteresjf

Taylor assaulted and killed his sUterin
law, Pearl Taylor, April 2S of last year'
The arguments took two days, because of
the illness of a Juror, Fred Ptory. The at
torneys for the defense made a very dra
matic and Impressive move when they ad
mitted that the defendant was guilty of
murder and should not be set at liberty by
the Jury under any circumstances, but
that he could not have deliberated the of
fense and therefore should not hang. F. O.
Hamer, Thomas Hamer and J. L. Mc
Pheely argued for the defense, and R. 13.
Adams, M. D. King and Ed D. Adams for
the stgte.
lonely Attorney Sidetracked.
Ons feature of the case has been the in
activity of the county attorney, King. Out
side of the opening statement and the ex
amination of two unimportant witnesses,
he has taken no part. When the argu
ments to the Jury were arranged for, he,
contrary to all precedent, was given next
the last place and used Just seventeen
minutes In summing up the evidence. Judge
Adams was given the lost argument. There
is some speculation as to the reason for
this arrangement, as County Attorney King
Is a very able advocate.
Never was there such Interest displayed
as there has been during the progress of
this trial. People came from all parts of
the country and would get places early In
the morning and remain all day. Never
before has Kearney county been shaken
as it was when the crime was committed.
The defense proved that Ihe defendant was
somewhat under the influence of liquor and
argued that he could no, therefore, be held
tj full accountability. Judge Hamer seld
the city of Mtnden hsd ptsced within reach
of this defendant the means whereby his
weakened mind, through liquor, had been
fired and spurred on to commit the crime.
