THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 5. 1900. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Coroner'i Jury LIsteni to Testimony of Death of Harry Long. TWO MEN HELD FOE ASSAULT rnlra Wfco lajnred John Doll Mmt Mand Trial nida on PaTlna Will D( Tabulated s'oon. "We, the coroner's Jury, sitting In Inquest over the hody of Harry bong. lying dead, express our Judgment In the case In that we hereby find Harry Long came to his death by a gunshot "wound, said shot sup posed to be fired by the hand of Wesley McBrlde on the 27th day of November. 1909.' about the hour of 3 p. m., In the city of South Omaha, Douglas county, Nebraska." This verdict was signed by W. P. Adklns, foreman of the Jury, and J. F. Shultz, J. J. Ryan, R. D. Wclr, P. J. Martin and O. E. Bruce, following the coroner's Inquest Fri day at South Omaha over the death of Hurry Long. .The examination of witnesses was con ducted by the county attorney, James Eng lish, and the defense was represented by J. II. Van Dusen. The witnesses were Andrew and Louis Jounschlet, Fred Hen derson, Lehelgh MrFarland, J. F. Marvel, Henry Elsfelder. Dr. E. 1 De Lanney and Captain P. H. Shields. Andrew Jounschlet was with Wesley Mc Brlde and Harry Long from the time they left their homes until they had tramped over the river bottoms for some hours and had made a campflre in the willows oppo site the foot of Missouri avenue. There he left the other two boys and returned home. They had spent the afternoon hunting and shooting at marks with the revolver which Wesley McBrlde carried. He said Wesley told him ho had bought the revolver the night before at a store on N street and with It a belt, scabbard and box of cart ridges. Boys Meet Harry Lonf. Most of the time was spent shooting at bottles and tin cans. Wesley McBrlde and the Jounschlet boy left the home of the latter early In the afternoon and on tho way met Harry Long. Harry Long went with them from that point, but without any special Invitation. On the sandbar near the place where the shooting occurred, Jounschlet said Wesley McBrlde said sev eral times, "Shall I shoot hlmT" Indicating Harry Long. He seemed to say It In a Joking way and laughed when he said It The Jounschlet boy said he thought he was only joking, but told him "no" and not to shoot anybody. When Jounschlet last saw them, Harry Long had kindled a fire and was gathering dry wood to keep it going, and Wesley McBrlde was seated by the fire. Fred Henderson and Lehelgh McFar-' land discovered the body of Long about 8 p. m., while they were hunting rabbits In the willows. When they came upon the body they were first attracted by seeing the hat and shoes. They approached the boy and found him lying on his face with his hand pressed on one of the wounds In his cheek. Ho was dead, but the fire was still burning and seemed to have been recently rekindled. They saw no one about the body. On the ground for a distance of thirty feet were marks of blood and evldenoe where the boy had twloe fallen and finally crawled along on the ground. On the trees up to the height of four feet were blood Mains aiso Indicating that the boy had been on his feet part of the time. These two boys gave the alarm. Officer Marvel corroborated the circumstances of the find ing of i body and told of tracing foot prints on the sandbar leading finally to warn Kouth Omaha. Boys See Wesley McBrlde. Louis Jounschlet said he and ' another boy met Wesley McBrlde about 4 o'clock and that he was pale - and asked It he looked pale. He told them he was 111 and went on toward home. Elsfelder told o finding the gun In what appeared to be a. washing machine on the back poich. He gave his opinion of the mental condition of Wesley McBrlde, also. Dr. DeLanney conducted the autopsy. p. H. Shields told that on the way to the police station Wesley McBrlde told of the shooting and said the first shot was an accident. The attorney for the defense did not tnttr Into ar.y lengthy' cross-examination of the witnesses.' 'Ihe Jury made up Its verdict In a few minutes. J. II. Van Dusen, representing McBrlde, was the only one appearing, neither Wes ley McBrlde nor any memoer of his fam Uily being present. Probable Outcome. County Attorney KngiUh said after the hearing: v "i Ins la -one of those unfortunate casts which cannot be passed over lightly, and of course there will liave to be a hear ing before the courts. 1 presume a com plaint with . the' proper charge will soon be filed. It will probably be second de cree murder. In that ease the defense may have a hearing on the present state of the boy's mind after the preliminary trial, or If mental affliction Is to be! the defense that may toe advanced at the triai before the district court." The name of the dead boy Is Harry Long, a confusion having resulted on the night of the death. Two Poles Arraigned. While waiting for the coroner's Vjury in the. Long case, the county attorney sub mitted a complaint and arraigned Joe Scsurtk and Joe Caja; on charge of assault ' with Intent to do great bodily Injury. They were chaigfd Mlh assaulting John Doll on the night of November 25, and fractur ing his ikull, betide laying open the brain, with a hatchet. They were said to have been Incensed against Doll because the lat ter had had them arrested for breaking a gun and (or assault In connection. They were tried. In the former suit before Judge Caldwell and fined 125 and costs.

HUMAN LIFE AS AN ASSET Man's Valor Flarared at $00 at Blrtb and 4,100 at the Ace of Thirty. Religion teaches that a man cannot give more than his life for another.' The scientist after cold calculation says that the gift of a life cannot be more than a gift of 14.100. That Is something for every person who loves his own life or somebody's else to think about. The scientist adds that he must be in his prime, 30 years old, to be worth 14.109. The chances favor his being worlh only $2,900, for that Is the value of the average life In the United States. How many would sell .themselves to death for I2.900T, Almost every one Indignantly denies that he would seh himself so ' cheaply. The scientist replies that In 1907 43 per cent of the deaths In . the United States were unnecessary at . that time. They could have been prevented or postponed If ; the victims had known what they might know about the care of their health. These heartless facts have been given publicity by the United States government In a pamphlet by Prof. Irving Flaher of Yale university on "National Health," Prof. Fisher has reduced life, death and Illness to a matter of dollar and cents In an effort to prove the economic wisdom of teaching the Inhabitants of the United Stales how to live long and keep well. He bases his computation of the value of the average life on a table prepared after the study of similar tables made In England. His table is founded on the es timate that the average worker in Amer ica, considering all grades, from railroad presidents to day laborers, earns (62 i a year. His value is then the capital that would cam $523 a year at prevailing In terest rates, averages, as to length of life and revenue-yielding activity being con sidered. A youth with 40 years of work ahead Is worth much more than an old man near retirement. Calculating from this, Prof. Fisher- finds a baby Just born Is worth $30. Mar Is most valuable at 30, when he reaches $4,100. Then he de clines, until at 0 he Is only an expense, and his value is placed at $700 less than nothing. Such is the trivial worth of the individ ual life, but the grand total value of all the ft. 500,000 of us Is $200,000,000,000, making the men, women and children worth more than all the other national wealth. How many of us would trade our Individual lives for the cash value of the lot cf us? Bui sickness and preventable death come in and take a toll approaching every year $2,000,010,000. They steal what we say We would not give up for 'millions. Of those who die 42 per cent might have livid if they had profited by what is known about the care of health. There were 1,500,000 deaths in the United States in 1907. Of these 630,000 mlgnt have been prevented or postponed, and by such postponement 830,000 lives, worth on the average $1,700 each, saved. In other words, unnecessary deaths every year cost the nation $1,000,000,000 In capi talized workers' earnings. In addition to that 1,000,000 workers are ill every year, and the wages lost during their Idleness amounts to $00,000,000. Illness and death also collect a heavy toll In the bills of doctors nurses, druggists and undertakers. The' L'nited States com missioner of labor finds that the average American working-man's family spends $27 a year for the care of death and sickness. Since there are 17,0u0,000 families in the nation, the total cost of doctors, druggists, nurses and undertakers Is fu0,000,00. Dr. Biggs of New York, arguing that tubercu losis cost the patient "K50 a day, and other diseases more. places, the total cost of the care of illness and death at $1,500,000,000, three times the figure accepted by Prof Fisher. I lllne8" n1 hn. not Including loss I we" a,tor dath' creat annual loss In the care of patients and loss of their earnings during Illness, of $400,000,000, plus $0OJ,0u0.0CO, or $i.w),000,000. Add to this tho annual toll of $1,000,000,000 taken by prevent able deaths, and the grand total national sost in money values of preventable deaths, and illness Is J1.9CO.O00.O0O. Tuberculosis costs $l,o0u.000,000 every year in lobs of earnings through Illness. In pos sible earnings stopped by death and in the expenses of sickness.

Jameson, the secretary and treasurer, with a number of others who were Inter ested in alleged land frauds against the government, will have to serve JaU sen tences ranglng from stx months to one year and pay fines of from $500 to $1,500, accord ing to the opinion In the case here today handed down by Judge Hook of the United States court of appeals. The cases eame to the appellate court from the United States district court of Nebraska. The Nebraska Land and Feeding company ran their cattle on what Is known as the Spade ranch In Nebraska and controlled several ranges, and had at one time as much as 800,000 acres of land, much of It belonging to the government, under fence. Lawyers Not Decided. ' R. S. Hall, the principal attorney for the defendants In the Richard, Comstock, Jame son and Trlplett cases, has not been offi cially advised of the decision of the cir cuit court of appeals. "I do not know what we shall da," said Mr.. Hall, 'until we can see the decision. All we know Is from the press dispatches. We are completely at sea in the present status of the case, as I have not heard a word from 6t Paul relative to the matter." W. F. Gurley, of Gurley & Woodrough, attorneys for T. W. Huntington, Ami B. Todd and Fred Hoyt, said: "We do not snow from the press dis patches whether our clients are included In the decision, affirming the Comstock and Richard cases. "Consequently we do not know what further steps we shall take." "We have heard nothing further regard ing the case," said United States District Attorney Goss," than appears in the press dispatches. I do not know that the, Hunt ington, Todd and Hoyt cases are Included In the decision, although the issues in volved were exactly the same as in the Comstock, Richards, Jameson and Trlplett cases. We have wired to St. Paul to get further information as to the' full scope of the decision, but owing to the absence of Clerk Jordan, we have not yet re ceived a reply. . Conrt of Last Resort. "The only recourse now left for the de fendants lnplulejd in the decision is to ap ply to the supreme court of the United States for a writ of certiorari, which Is in a measure equivalent to1, an appeal from the decision of the circuit court of ap peals. ' Whether this will be done Is a matter that remains wholly with the at torneys for the defendants." The argument for the appeal before the circuit court of appeals in May was par ticipated in on benalf of the defendants by Judge John Lacey of Wyoming, C. J. Hughes, Jr., of Denver, present United States senator from Colorado, with R. S. Hall of Omaha. The government's inter ests were looked after by District Attorney Charles A. Goss and 8peclal Assistant At torney General S. R. Rush. In the trial of the case In Omaha, the defendants, . Richards, Comstock, Jameson and Trlplett, were represented by R. S. Hall, John F. Slout and H. C. Brome of Omaha and Judge A. W. Crltes of Chadron. The government end was looked after by DlFtrlct Attorney Goss and Assistant At torney General Rush. Down Come Peaces. After a long fight both In tho circuit and district courts of the United States Com stock and Richards were compelled to re move their fences. Irving L. Baxter was at the time of the initial proceedings in the case Unlfid States district attorney, A. W. Lano as sistant district attorney, T. L. Mathews Urlted States marshal, and Ssivester R. Rush special assistant district' attorney. An agreement was reached between the United States district attorney and Klch erd 8. Hall, the principal attorney for Comstock and Richards, whereby the de fendants, W. O. Comstock and Bartlett Richards, should enter a plea of guilty to the original indictment, assurances having been given the land department that the unlawful fences had been or were being removed. The plea of guilty was accepted and late that evening, some time early in Decem ber, 1905 the accused men were arraigned before Judge W, H. Munger for sentence. Neither of the accused men had anything to say why sentence should not be pro nounced. Mr. Hall, their attorney, asked that the court grant a minimum sentence, as, owing to the prominence of the ac cused and the fact that their offenue ut the best was but a technical one, the ends of Justice would be amply subserved by a nominal sentence. To this proposition the district attorney acceded. Baxter and Mathews Go Oat. Judge Munger thereupon sentenced Will G. Comstock and Bartlett Richards to pay a fine of $300 each, and to be "confined In the custody of the United States marshal for six hours." The t fine was promptly paid. Marshal Mathews was not in the court room at the time of passing sentence, but reached the court house a short while afterwards, even before Mr. Hall and his clients had left the building. Being Informed of tho sen tence, he turned the two men over to the care of Mr. Hall as special cutodlan, and they were taken to the Omaha club and entertained there for the stx hours limit of their sentence. A report was sent out that night by telegraph that Mr. Hall and his c lenti were being entertained at the thenter and were having a good time generally. As a result of this report which reached President Roosevelt the following morning States Marshal Mathews by telegraph, the president ordered the removal of United Nor did the precldent-a Indignation end here for a few days later he ordered the removal or demanded the resignation of District Attorney Baxter on the grounds of Inadequacy of the prosecution of the cattle barons. Char es A. Goss was subsequently ap pointed to succeed Mr. Baxter as district attorney, and William P. Warner as United States marshal to succeed Mr. Mathews.

Appeal Pending; Since Slay. The now famous Nebraska land fraud case was argued In the court of appeals in May of last year and has been since pend ing. The decision is considered one 'of the most Important affoctlng Nebraska handed down in some time, the case be ng the largest lan.d case t In the history of this state and requiring thirty days in which to try. - The land company was made up of Bart lett Richards, Will O. Comstock, and C. C. Jameson, a clerk. Along -with the of ficers there were indicted Thomas ,W. Huntington, a soni.of Prof. DeWltt C. Huntington, former chancellor of Nebraska Wesleyan university; former United States Commissioner Fred Hoyt, A. 'B. Todd, an old soldier, and Aqul'.la Triplet, who acted as an agent for the land company. The company held possession of several hundred thousand acres of government land which, it is a'.leged, they fenced in under the nRme of Spade ranch. The operations of the company. It is claimed, were extensive and enormous. By. means of fraudulent entries the government was defrauded out of much of Its land In the western portion of the state. The men were Indicted under the same charge, but there were two separate trials. Richards, ' Comstock, Jameson and Triplet were tried together, and Hoyt, Todd and Huntington together. Year In Jail for Principals. MessrB. Richards and Comstock were fined $1,E00 each and sentenced to one year In the Douglaa county JaU; Jameson and Triplet were fined J500 each and sen tenced to serve eight months In JaU; Hunt ington and Todd $1,000 each and three months In Jail and Hoyt $1,000, and remain In Jail untltl the fine was paid.

The four defendants were found guilty as charged; Walcott, who was tried In the group was declared not guilty. The four were found guilty of thirty-six of the thirty-eight counts In the indictment, which, by the way. was the largest In dictment ever returned In the United States courts In this district. It contained over BOO typewrlten pages and was of forty count?, two of which were dropped before trial of the first group was begun. The Jury was out but two hours for Its de liberations. The trial of the first group was before Judge W. II. Munger, while Judge T. O Munger presided at the trial of the second group, begun on April 8, 1907.
