Although Paul Simpson, or whatever
his nal nam might have been, la thought
to have died from alsohelism, Actlnc
Chief at Detectives Devereeae Is (tin
hopeful that Dr. 8. McClenaghan. cor.
ewer's physician, will discover erideno
la hla analysis of the dead man's stomach
.ta eauaa the coroner' jury to say Simp
son died from poisoning, other than laud
anum or morphine. Should such a verdlet
be reached, a charge or murder may be
made against the Adams.
Devereeae says that unleaa Dr. Mo
Clenachaa does discover traces of de
natured alcoholic potsonlnc In Simpson's
stomach, Mr. and Mrs. F. Adams win
be released from custody. They are ex
pected to narrate (he aama stories at the
coroner's Inquest today, as they did In
Mankato, Minn., and Saturday night upon
their arrival In Omaha.
Testtrday morning Captain Dempsey
while looking through identification
records found pictures which proved the
dead man was a criminal. In "The De
tective" ef March, 1SU, Is a picture of a
man said to be C. H. Miller. The picture
Is the likeness of the dead man. Under the
picture Is a letter from the chief of police
of Dallas. Tex., who said that Miller was
a suspicious character and conOdencr
man. A food description Is given whl:h
tallies with that ot the dead man. The
name "S. P. Kidd." tatooed on the body,
together with a heart pierced wltt an
arrow, corresponds to marks on the body
at the morgue.
In a Mot Issue of The Detective Is an
other of Simpson's pictures. This time he
went under the name of J. P. Riley, and
the explanatory letter was from the Den
ver police. In 1907 Simpson's picture
again oecure, being sent by the St
Joseph authorities, who said that his
name was Charles Miller.
No mention is made of the dead man
being a aterotyper by trade, but It ape
ciflcslly saya that be la a suspicious
character and "confidence man."
Prtaeavra F.iaealaed.
After this discovery was made the

was not questioned, but the maa talked
finely.
"Murder, why I don't know why any one
should murder him," -he said. . "lie was
broke and I bad given him the clothing
ha had oa. No It waa not murder. It was
just an ordinary death from alcoholic
poisoning as examination will show."
"I hava known Simpson for several
years. Despite the fact that be Is known
by several other names, Simpson la the
name ha generally goes by as far as I
know. S. P. Kidd may be hla real name,
but he la always known as Simpson by
his friends.
"I wu sitting In a saloon In the north
part of the city Thursday with several
other ' magaslne solicitors when Simpson

some one els, but the tailor waa glad
to get rid of It. It looked good on Simp

self and wife occupied another room that

Simpson dead. The towels oa his head
were water-eoaked and I had put them
there myaelf to sober him up. There was
no alcohol la them and If they smelled
of alcohol, K was from his breath.
The bottle of wood alcohol found by
the detective waa a small amount used by
my wife to curl her hair. She used K. I

velopments ut the day, chiefly the abdi
cation by Xmilio V sequel Gomes of the
provisional presidency, which ha assumed

turbances must continue to court Oroico.
The whereabouts of Gomes last night
waa uncertain. Once a member of the

brother of Dr. Francisco Vaaquea Oomea,
recently defeated for the vice presidency,
he fled for hla Ufa ysaterday across the

Reliable Information hai It that the men
who once surrounded former President
Diss bad been financing the Oreaeo move
ment through the agency of Oonselo C
Enrlle, now In Chihuahua, but that other
capitalists had sprung up who were seek
ing to oust the Enrlltstaa and control
Oroico' l band. In the underground con
test between these factions, Oomes, who
could furnish only political ambition, was
lost
"Wa thought Senor Oomes would be
safer tn the ' United Slates from bis

ths envoy, who claims Oroico sent him to
bring Gomes from 6an Antonio a week
ago. "He will return after Colonel Paa
cual Oroico, sr., who went aouth today
to see his honor, straightens out the

There b) little doubt that the chieftain

has been ephemeral and that he. like

"Wmle she Nebraska farmers will never

oome relies ef the past, except for work
on the farms," mid H. N. Rudd of Sid
ney, who spent Sunday at ths Rama.
"Ten years ago out In Cheyenne

owned an automobile, and new I should
ssy there are fully SO maohlnee In the
hands of the tillers of ths soil. They
are not cheap machines, hut Instead as
good ones as you will find In ths cttlea
being mostly touring cars, large enough
to carry all the members of the family
and the butter and eggs when a trip to
town la made.
"For a long lime the farmers did not
take kindly to the automobile, but within
tha last three years they hava become
enthusiasts and buy pretty freely, using
good Judgment in making their purchases
snd taking good cars of their machines.
SAeeaoaay ta Aale.
"Ths average farmer who Uvea a few
milea from town figures that It la econ
omy to own an automobile. With a ma
chine, supposing he lives ten miles from
town, he can "crank up,' go In and do hla
trading and be back home Inside of a
couple of hours. If he hss a touring car,
lis can load In his butter snd eggs, a
orate of chickens and several sacks of
grain and take ths stuff to market, and
tha only expense Is the gasoline, which In
tha aggregate will not exceed 2 cents.
"On the other hand. If a fanner does
not have an automobile, to make the
trip I Just spoke of, means considerable
money. He must take a team off the
farm work, and to go to town and back,
If he Uvea ten miles out, means tha bast
part of a day. He haa lost the time of
the hired man who waa working tha
team and he haa loot the ' work of tha
team. These two Items alone would be
around a couple of dollars. If be did not
do this, he would have to keep a team
