NBAS CITY. April 20. Attorney
declared at the opening of the Hyde
tr al this afternoon that he had In his pos
sesion papers containing notea of the tes
tlmony of Dr. Waiter B. Haines, given be
fore the grand Jury which showed that the
scientist had declared that no cyanldo of
potassium was found In the atoraach of
Colonel Bwope.
These paprs, Walsh aald, had been found
In a atreet by a woman, and turned over
to him. The assertion followed a demand
of the court for Mr. "Walsh to tell whether
ho had in his possession papers belonging
to the state.
"I refuse to answer," shouted Mr. Walsh,
springing; to his feet.
"Then bring In the Jury," shouted Judge
Latshaw, striking the desk with his fist.
Mr. Walsh rushed forward to the bench
and made the startling statement.
The order for the Jury to be returned was
rescinded.
"A man holding paper belonging to the
state Is no better than a thief," said the
court, hotly.
Pointing toward the Jail, adjoining the
criminal court building, Mr. Walsh shouted;
"Your honor, do you see those gallows?"
Attorney Imuran interrupted, and Mr. I
Walsh did not finish the sentence.
Prosecutor Conkllng broke Into the con
versation and said:
"If these papers are returned, we will
give the defense a carbon copy of them."
VI t Is the proof of a man's Innocence that
we hold," hotly said Mr. Lucas, "and the
same papers cntaln evidence of the guilt of
tho defendant," Interposed Mr. Conkllng.
"Marshal, take charge of the defendant,"
said Judge Latshaw, rising from his chair.
"I will look into this matter."
Papers Found la street.
Before. Judge Latshaw had left the bench,
Mr. Walsh expressed a desire to explain
bow the papers came into his possession.
"An advertisement waa Inserted In a local
pap e,1nr.avcTtIH'. woman had found
papers connected with the case.' I went to
her house and found that they were these
notes.
"They contained proof of my client's
Innocence. By refusing to take them, I
thought I might make a move that would
coat the life of an innocent man. '
"I took the papers, but told the woman
to tell everyone who asked that I took the
papers to my office.
"Mr, Jost, an assistant prosecutor, came
to me 'before court opened this aftornoon
and asked me if I had the papers. I re
fused to answer."
"This Is tho most serious question of
ethics with which I have eve ever had
to deal," said Judge Latshaw. "I 'have
no doubt, Mr. Walsh, that if It had placed
your own life in Jeopardy to return these
notes, you would not have hesitated a
minute."
Walsh Goes for Papers.
The court then told Mr. Walsh to re
turn the papers to the court and the at
torney went to a bank to get them.
. Tho woman who found the papers, Miss
Kva Finney, colored, was In the court
remm and was, at the demand of the
prosecution, prepared to take the witness
stand.
When the court held that Mr. Walsh
should return the papers, the witness was
excused.
After Mr. Walsh departed. Attorney Reed
arose and said he belltved one of the, de
fndnnt's counsl had Intimated he was a
llarf.
"Everybody, including the court, waa
callod a liar during those few moments
passed," said Judge Latshaw, smll-
JuY. Re.d sat down without further
words.
Mr. Conkllng admitted that the papers
actually had been lot In the etreets by
on of his asMtjnts.
Dr. Haines would testify, said Mr. Conk
ling, that cyanide was found in Colonel
Swopc's body.
Attorneys for Dr. Hyde declared that In
j case Dr. Hainei took the stand and testi
fied that syanlde had been found they
would prosecute him for perjury.
Had the marshal taken charge of Dr.
Hyde when the court ordered It, his bond
would have bon revoked.
What Or. Haines Said.
"It Is true," sitd Mr. Conkllng, "ihat Dr.
Haines did nut testify before the . grand
Jury that he had found cyonlde of potas
sium In Colonel Swope's viscera."
At that time, however, he had not com
pleted his analysis. Later and more search
ing examination of the organs proved that
cyanide was present."
- No action would be taken against At
torney Walsh for withholding the papers,
tald the prosecutor, provided the court's
j order to return them was obeyed wlth
M:t delay.
! "1 have no objection to th defense hav-
"g a copy of Pr. Haines' testimony be
fore the grand Jury," continued Mr. Corik
llrg, "If I am assured that their defense
'Hl not be charged."
When Mr. Walsh returned the papers.
Judge Latshaw spoke calmly an dftt some
length regarding the defense's nctlon In
keeping the papers and tht tumultous acne
that resulted. He bore no focllnir against

PARIS, April 20. The revelatlona made in
the case of Count De Uatiny, who, with
the countess, Is being examined at Tours
on a charge of having misrepresented tha
origin of paintings r.nd tho amhiuKy of a
furniture purchase by Mrs. Charles 11.
lla.ne of this city, but formerly of Boston,
have caused a profound Impression In the
world of art and served to open up the
whole question of the many-sided traffic
in sham paintings, other works of art and
antique furniture.
Although the declarations of Henri
Rochefort, editor of the Patrie, regarding
the Keinbi andts may const. tute a satirical
exaggeration, It Is the general opinion that
there Is some truth In his assertion that
celebrated collections In hundreds of homes
In America and elsewhere contain spurious
Rembrandts as well as cup:es uZ other
masters. M. Rochefort has said that W per
cent of the "RembrandU" owned In'Amer
lea were forgeries.
"I have seen so many Turners,' " said
M. Rochefort, "that I have almost decided
that Turner never existed. He could not
have turned out the works attributed to
him If he lived 700 years. .It is the same
with Rembrandt. .
"I never could convince my American
friend that his collection of the school of
1M0 containing 'Millets' and 'Corots' were
not genuine, but I did convince h'm of
the falsity of his works of one great living
artist, for the artist himself upon seeing
the pictures exclaimed: 'I will send my
seconds to the man who 'says I did that' "
Tho recent exposures are painted here as
helping to check the brazen frauds perpe
trated In France and elsewhere as a warn
ing to foreigners to buy masterpieces with
the greatest caution.
Tho newspapers pursue the affair with
avldlty and are Immensely amused over
the various reports of how the count en
tered the most exclusive society.

scribes it as Star Which Swal

BIOUX FALLS, 6. D., April 20.
(Special.) "The star which swallows
Its tall," la tho unique manner in
which an aged Sioux warrior from
the Tine Ridge reservation' refers to
Halley's comet. In the course of an in
terview at Interior, a small town near the
reservation, the old Indian stated he could
distinctly remember the last previous visit
of the comet when he was a mere boy.
The old warrior stated further that this
summer season would be very stormy en 2
restless, with much' vtrlint weather.
Whether he expected the summer to be
a stormy one because of the presence of
Halley's comet could not be determined
owing to the fact that tho old warrior
talked English In a very broken manner.

East.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 20. (Special Tele
gram.) Refore President and Mrs. Taft
and In' the presence ,of a distinguished
assemblage in which were many of
tho old officers of the army who had
partcllpated In the campaigns against
the Indians, Including Colonel W. F.
Cody, who came on from New Yolk to
attend the exhibition, "The Last Great
Indian Council" was Illustrated tonight by
Dr. Joseph K. Nixon, with colored slides
and life' pictures, at the Willard hotel.
It has been forty-two years and more
since the Indians were placed on reserva
tions and these great councils forever
ceased. Under the auspices of Mr. Rodman
Wanamaker of Philadelphia, a thoroughly
well equipped expedition, with the co
operation of the Indian office In Washing
ton and under the leadership of Dr. Dixon,
was sent out to ryake a permanent record
of the manners and customs, home life,
sports, games and wars of the North Amer
ican Indian.
This expedition extended over several
months, covering over 8,000 miles, of travel,
embracing photographs of the wild lite ot
the Yellowstone, camping with the Indian
and studying him In his primitive state.
Tho last' great Indian council, the tragedy
of a vanishing race, was convened In the
valley of the Little Big Horn in Montana.
There a primitive camp was constructed of
old-time teepees, j The chieftains came
dressed In their war regalia, bringing with
them guns, bo as and a rowj, tom-tom.', cup
sticks, war shirts and war bonnets, and
amid the surroundings of former greatness
each chief told to the leader of the expedi
tion the story ot his life with all its thrill
ing romance and tragedy.
Great Chieftains Present.
In that notable gathering, where a
primitive council lodge was constructed,
were Chief Plenty-Coups of1 the Crow na
tion; Two-Moons, who led tha Cheyenncs
against' Custer; Vmaplne, head 'chief 'of
the ' Cay use;- - Tln-Tin-Meetsa, - a famous
warrior of tne Umatlllas;' Bear Ghost, of
tho Yankton Sioux; Mountain Chief, hero
of the Blackfeet; Curly, a Custer scout;
Red Cloud, an Ogalalla Sioux, Just fallen
heir to the chieftainship of his father,
who was, before his death, two months
ago, the greatest Indian fighter in the
United States, and others quite as famous.
The exhibition was extremely Interest
ing, particularly to old Indian fighters who
are living in Washington In the sunset of
their lives, and was notable, not only be
cause of the interest displayed, but be
cause of Its splendid contribution to the
history of the people who roamed the
plains and valleys of North America long
before the white man set foot upon Its
soil.

KORRIS TALKS OF ELECTION
Nebraskan Sees End of Machine Rule
in New York Result.
OPINION OF MR. BOUT ELL
Illinois Member Snya It Waa Jnst a
Skirmish nnd Does Not Mean
Anything- Views of Other
Members.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Not since the
political campaign began have the dem
ocrats been In such a Jubilant mood as they
Were today over the result of the New
York election. They gathered early on tho
floor and there was everywhere a spirit
of felicitation,-. Tha- republican Jeadera, decline-to
attach any significance to the
deal. The Insurgents took other views, v.
Representative Norrls of Nebraska, one
of the Insurgent leaders, said:
"It Is simply an uprising of the people
against machine rule and means that the
peoplo will stand for It no longer. It 1b a
local matter in New York, but similar con
ditions orevall through the country and
similar results will ensue."
"What does It mean to this, house?" Mr.
Norrls was asked.
!'It means that the members who are
here because of machine politics both re
publican and democrats should be able to
see the end they are coming to. They won't
be here much longer," was the reply.
Representative Hamilton of New York,
another Insurgent, thought Aldridge's de
feat in Rochester was largely duo to his
personality and what ha was known to
stand for.
"Cannonlsm was also an Issue," cold Mr,
Fish. Aldrldge was asked whether he stood
for Cannon or not and he declined to an
swer. The people answered for him."
There was incidental reference In the
senate to the election, by Mr. Gallinger.
"It was Just a skirmish, it doesn't mean
anything," said -Mr. Boutel of Illinois. His
statement was typical of republican expres
Blon. Among the democrats and Insurgent
republicans there was a greater variety of
views.
Representative Francis Burton Harrison
(democrat) of New York believed It marked
the overthrow of a regime, nation-wide In
Its extent.

If It shall be made tin appear that tho
mysterious murder of O. F. Hamilton at
Mullen, Neb., about two years ago, la the
result of a conspiracy because of hla
allejrrd activity In unearthing the land
frauds there, the government will take a
haiK."lu hunting down and prosecuting his
murderers.
At the beginning of. the land Investi
gations in Thomas and Hooker counties,
which Inter resulted in tho conviction of
Rev. George G, Ware and for which ho
served one year In tho Grand Island Jail
and paid a flno 'of $1,000, It was O. F.
amllton, a lawyer and real estate man of
Mullen, who gave the first hint of land
frauds being carried on in that locality.
uclen V. Wheeler, In charge of tho secret
service men of the Land depsrtmont sent
to Nebraska to look Into these alleged
frauds, went to Mullen and had an Inter
view with Hamilton. Hamilton did not
are to act conspicuously In the matter,
but from his knowledge, of the situation
gave n number of valuable clues, which
later exposed the whole conspiracy.
As a result. Rev. George Q. Ware, presi
dent of the I. B. U. Ranch company; Frank
W. Lambert of Davenport. Neb., and Harry
Welsh of Davenport,. Neb., were Indicted
for conspiracy to defraud the government
out of large tracts of land In Thomas and
Hooker counties. Welsh and Lambert
pleaded guilty, but Ware stood trial and
was convicted.
Frellngr Early in Evidence.
Prior to the conclusion of the Ware trial
In 1908, some of the friends of the de
fendants at Mullen begnn to make It un
comfortable for O. F. Hamilton, and he
telegraphed to the United .States authorities
at Omaha that his life was In danger, and
he had been threatened not only In tho
destruction of I is own Ufa, but of all hla
property.
An investigation was made of the mat
ter' by the government, and whllo It was
shown that threats"na been made against
Hamilton, the parties . at Mullen held eut
the Idea that tho threats were mere Jokes
and that Hamilton had been unduly scared.
During the trial of Ware, Hamilton had
been summoned as a witness On the part
of tho government, but when he reaohed
Omaha, It became plain that he was labor
ing under a violent nervous strain, and
manifested a ' disinclination to give any
valuable evidence for the government, but
what lit tie testimony he did give was
really In favor of the defense.
Hamilton told a newspaper man who
was reporting the trial that his life had
been threatened by some live stock men
Interested In the acquittal of Ware, on
three ox four occasions In the federal
building. This information was communi
cated to some of the secret service of
ficials and Hamilton was assured of tha
protection of the secret service officers,
and was given It.
Ware was convicted February 27, 1B0H.
He appealed the case, but tha appeal was
denied, and Ware entered upon his sen
tence December 15, l!WC,and finished it tha
following November. Welsh served his
three months' sentence earlier In the year,
but Lambert, who Is a Witness In other
cases, la still under $10,000 bonds. His
case Is yet to be disposed of, aa ha BM
not been sentenced.
Hamilton Expressed Fear.
While) he was In Omaha during the War
trial, O. F, Hamilton renewed the acquaint
ance of two of his old cunhrades of tha
Eighteenth Infantry, and to them he fre
quently expressed the fear thut some of
the people up about Mullen would "get
him yet."
Contrary to what some of the Mullen peo.
pie said at the time, O. F. Hamilton was
absolutely fearless. Hli courage had been
tried In many engagements with the In
dians in the Bloux Indian war of 1876-a,
culminating In the tragedy of the FeUer
ir.an massacre In Deceinoer, 1SW, and in tne
"wagon box" tight of August 2, 187. Ilu
was a member of Company H, Second
battalion of the Eighteenth Infantry. At
the close of his military service he settled
In Nebraska, locating tlnaily at Mullen.
.Mr. Hamilton had written his Omaha
comrades that he greatly desired the re
union of the Fort Phil Kearney survivor J
to be held on the Fetterman inti.aci-j
ground near 8nrridan, Wyo., July 1-7, l'JOV.
ile had eiitiaeed to meet the Cairingto'l
party enroute to Sheridan, tlt.ier at Mjllea
or Alllunce.
It was but a week or two before the de
parture of the Carrlngton party from
Omaha that Mrs. Hamilton wio.e to 8-im-uel
Gibson and 8. 8. Peterj of Omaha, two
of the Carrlngton party, that Mr. Hamilton
had disappeared, put tnac thu hoped that
he had coma on down to Omaha to ineji
Ilia Carrlngton party and accompany it to
8berdaii.
'1 Ins was til last that had been heard of
Hamilton until his dead body wta r.covi red
from its rough grave in the Btoclc yards at
Mullen last .ck.
It Is the Intention of the Fort Phil Kear
ney 8urvivois' association to take a hand
In running the murderers of Hamilton to
earth.
At the Kherldan meeting In July, 1W7,
the comrade of Corporal O. F. Hamil
ton were deeply disappointed at his non
ai entrance and none more so than Genera.'
11. U. Ca nington, who knew him Ir.tl
ti. at ly, Tlit ru wag no suspicion at tint tiuu
that Hamilton had met with foul play.
