th 27th of thla month the grand Jury
will convene and doubtless th first work
they will take up Is tha qase against John
8. Shearer, charged with the murder of
Henry Lucas. Parsons has told his story
In court. He Is an accessory In
th crlm, according to hla own
admission, but - x pec tin leniency.
He la a boy 2 year old, bu.has a weak
mind. In the preliminary- he, pbuld not be
moved on the essential fact'. One thing
favorable to the state Is that he ha not
read th accounts of the murder In the
papers, for he is no readar. He had not
talked with anvon about the murder, yet,
when h wastrst detained by the sheriff
and waa askdd-lf-he could tU where th
murder was committed he said he could
H then took the officers .to the place
where Lucas was killed, went with them
orer th road, wher on the nlarht of Julv

pastur gate, r through th pasture, around
a large neck' ef woods and to the spot
wher th body waa deposited.
Th defendant's attorney moved for a
discharge of hV prisoner at th conclusion
of th state's evidence on the grounds that
th witness was an accomplice and that
without corroborating evidence the defend
ant could not' be held. Judge Rankin held
otherwise and John 8. Shearer waa bound

CRIME IS QUICKLY TRACED v
TO MURDERERS' DOORSTEP
Lonely F.ast Omaha rtottnm Land
Scene of Throat-Cnttlna of a
llandred-ronnd Shout.
It was that dark hour which directly
precedes the dawn and In the death-like
stillness of Sunday morning, that the lonely
bottom lands of East Omaha furnished
the setting for a terrible tragedy. Two
dark forms crept stealthily through the
ink-black darkness upon the unconscious
sl?eper. There was an Instant's paese as
if the men were nerving themselvce for a
hideous deed. Then an arm reached up
and a long knife gleamed faintly for a
second In the starlight. The arm plunged
downwards. A muffled, unearthly sound
and again all was quiet as the grave. The
murderers losing not a moment's time,
brutally thrust the bleeding body with its
throat cut from ear to ear, into tha large
gunny sack, which one of them had been
carrying, and made off with their awful
burden across the marshes. ' Presently
they arrived at a kittle shack. Entering,
they laid tha sack with Its bloofly content
upon the floor, while they themselves laid
down and slept as soundly and as peace
fully as If nothing had happened sure In
their minds that no one had seen them.
But they arose late In the morning to find
themselves In the grasp of the law. A
shrewd detective had followed the boodly
trail to their door.
The men were with their victim were
hurried to the police station and the
mystery quickly cleared up. .- The body
was that of a hundred pound ahoat, be
longing to the American Feeding company.
The murderers' names are Ray Brlce and
Harry Rennet, and the shrewd detective
Is Tom Mitchell.

food Is served In special designed dishes In
two large dining hall tents by fifty waiters.
It takes twenty tons of hay to feed the
horses and elephants for one day,' while
eight hindquarters and four forequartera of
fresh beef are consumed by the animals and
people. Over l.uOO people are on the pay
roll, while about 1.600 are directly or in
directly dependent on the ahow for a live
llhood. The menagerie contain many dens
and cages of rare wild animals. The circus
performance Is given in three rings, on two
stages and upon an extra platform for the
big sixey-one horse act.

demanded and secured by the governor last
spring.
Mr. Cown had been head of the board
of control for many years and was re
garded as one of the most valued public
sen-ants the state has evr had. In re
gard to the Mitehellvllle school, while t
was known that some of the Inmates whose
records were very bad had attacked him as
well aa others nobody had ever paid any
attention to those outbreaks. The very
prominence of Mr Cownie made It neces
sary for the grand Jury to take cognizance
of the accusation.
In behalf of the governor It la pleaded
that he merely states what Information he
had and did not pretend to assure Its ac
curacy, and anyway that It was privileged
because It was Information which had been
secured by him In his official capacity.
While none of the matter was on file nor
accessible to (he public It rs contended that
It was official.
It Is anticipated thst the case will never
go to the Jury but that It will be thrown
out for technical reasons. Some attempt
has been made to cause It to appear that
the Indictment was due to a political plot,
but aa a matter of fact the prcstdlnsr Judee
of the criminal division was an appointee
of the governor, and the complexion of the
grand Jury precluded this theory. Among
the attorneys on both sides of the case
there are democrats as well as republicans
The presiding Judge !s the only one of the
four not a candidate for office araln and
he is entirely fair.
A great many of the political friends of
the governor advised that the trial be put
off until after election, hut he waa Insistent
upon having the matter aired In court at
this time.
