Dec. 11.—The preliminary hearings of Ed and Geo Silbee of Kansas City and Amos Phillips, of Bates county, Missouri, charged with the murder of Leopold Edlinger of that county, were held y. There was not the least doubt in the minds of the 1,000 peo- ple who squeezed into thecourt room to witness the trials that they were guilty of the atrocious crime. This evening the evidence ¢ them was made moreconclusive when J.B. White, a prominent merchant, identified old man Phillips’ wagon as the wagon which he passed on the road two miles west of this city on Sunday, Nov. 12, and from which came such asickening odor of de- composing human flesh that he took particular note of it. According to Phillips’ confession which he is now trying to repudiate, this is the wagon in which Edlinger’s body was carried for two days and night, until he and Ed Silbee, who were in charge of it, were compelled by the stench to get out and walk. When Mr. White saw them they were walking ahead of the team. Many ladies attended the prelimi- nary. The Silbees were tried sepa- rately. Neither of thememployed an attorney and both seemed indifferent to all that transpired. The team and personal effects that were stolen from the murdered boy were brought here to-day and identi- fied by relatives from Bates county. A large delegation of Missourians at- tended the hearing. They came from Bates. Vernon and Cedar counties. The sheriff has a strong force of guards around the jail to-night to prevent violence.
