The ollicer who tirst discovered his trail found him on the Seventh street road, AT A DHINKING-PLACE beyond the Soldiers’ Home. The ollicer had been instructed to look fur him there. as tne place wus known to be a favorit haunt of Jones, and St was to be presumed that, after nis long, hard ride, he would stop for a armk.

The duuger from the débris is caused by the Tact tbut the fragments of bone had not encysted, but remained 3° cen- tres of suppuration. The penetration of the splenic artery did not cause death at ‘once, owing to the fuet that a blood-ciot was formed and tissue built up around it, but it was almost inevitable that-this aneurism should in time burst und cause death, as was the case.” ‘In view of these dangers, Doctor,” suid Mr. Davidge, “what. was the character of this in- jury Dr. Bliss paused 2 moment and sald calmly, but stroo; “IT WAS'A MORTAL WoUND.” ‘This testimony practically completed the Gov- eroment’s case. ‘Tovy bad now proved the fact Of the suouting; they bad identitied tne ussasin: they hag set forth their theury of his motive, and had fully proved thut the injury was aec- essarily fatal. in other words, they bad proven that President Gariield had been assasinuted by Cuuries Guiteau on the 2d of July. “We had intended,” said Sr. Corkhill, a few minutes after this testimony. “to tluish our cause this evening.” He understood, however, that the physiclans were to be examined by the defense, in search of EVIDENCE OF MALPRACTICE, and he suggested, therefure, thut the court ad- Journ till Monday, when the aduissibility of the evidence propused. by the defense would be tested.

This fragment of tho eine wus looked at with a painful intensity of atten- tion by all, and was closely scrutinized by too Court, ine jury, and the lawyers, After Mr. Davidge bad examined it for a. wnile, Mr Scoville leaned over and asked to be allowed to gee it. it was pussed to him, und then followed the very dramutic scene of Guiteau leaning over and examining at leisure, and with close atten- ton, the fragments of his victim's skeleton. A SHUDDER WENT THROUGH TUE crowD at this vucanny sight, but Guiteau himself seemed to tee! no emotion, except that of com- mun curiosity. The course of the defense to- day clearly pointed to an elfort to establish malt- practice. This policy, utter Mr. Scoville’s ex- plicit statement thut the defeuse would. be insunity, was & surprise to the: prosecution, and they did not altogether cuatro! their annoyance. Wito recard to this mutter it can be authori- tatively stated that the idea is rather MI, ROBINSON'S: than that of the prisoner's family and personal counsel: ,From the first Mr. Robinson bus de- clined to waive any possible ground of defense, either of jurisdiction, —malprartice, or | other possible protection to his client. The family, however, frankly say that the only sensible und proper defense Is in- sauity—that if Carles Guitenu 1s sune he ought to be hanged, aud if be fs insane he ought to be sént to un fnsane asylum. Mr, Scoville fects thus, and so do Guiteau’s brother und sister. Nevertheless, they did not cure to oppuse Mr. Hohinsou iu his ettoris to throw up another bar- rier, if poss.ble, around tho ecused, und to- wards the last Mr. Scoville put a few questions to Dr. Bliss from the same standpoint as that occupied by the lucat counsel. ‘That GUITEAU WAS VERY WILLING to get any help there mignt be in this latter de- feuse appeared trom the quickness with which he corrected Mr. Scoville, to, say that they de- nied ue killing, not the shooting.

A moiment later Guftenu proceeded to warn all “disreputable characters” wno might have designs on his iife not to attempt auy violence, ns his guards bad ozers to shoot any one who attempted to injure him. ‘This warning was soon tested.

He denied their rignt ut thig point, and upon the cross- exuminution of a witness who bad upon bis examination-In-chief simply testified to the character of the wound, to lay the foundation for their theory.

Upon its conclusion the District-Attorncy inquired of the defense it it proposed to pursue the sane course of exam- ination with the rest of the medical witnesses, and, upon the witness replyimy “About the saine,” announced to the Court that the prose- eudion bad expected to close today, but, under the circumstances, they did not deem it-udvisa- bie to introduce another witness. “ M7?

Stutement of the Lynching. . Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Sr. PAUL, Minn., Now. 20.—I send you the story of an eye-witn of the culminating of the Maxwell tragedy at Durand, Wis. A Pioneer- Press reporter joined Maxwell when he passed through St. Paul, rode with bln in the ears to Menomonee, spent part of Friday night with him, followed in a buggy the vehicle that took him and the Sherif to Durand, and assisted at the examination this morning, and was present ut the tragic termination of the legul proceed- ings at 2 o'clock ‘this afternoou. Durand is twenty miles by a frightful road. from the nearest telegraph office, and the full account was not transmitted until at an carly bour this morning. The following is the dis- patch: = * THE ACCOUNT OF TIE LYNCITIN Dornann., Wis., Nov. 19.—Edward Maxwell to- day walyed examination -before an eurthly sJudge, and in ten minutes after was summoned before the Eternal Judge. Ue was bung by a crowd of excited citizens of Dunn and Pepin Counties at 2:15 p. m. in the presence of at leust 500 poople, mung whom were the widow, ebil- dren, ana brother ot one of bis victims. This mornmz between 9 and 10 o'clock he sent for your reporter, who, arriving at the cell he left tho evening before, found 2 saping crowd peering throuzh the bars, and fn the cell proper several persons talking to ‘Ed, whose SHACKLES HAD BEEN TAKEN OFF that he might walk up and down und retieve bis limbs of numbaess. He took me into a corner and said: “T haven't any friends here. [guess Tbaven't many anywhere. but you don’t soem particularly hostile, and L would like to ask you what you think about my walving-an exumina- tion, They told me I wus to be examined at 9 o'clock this ‘morning. but. now I hear the —District-Atturney says he won't be ready until 2 o'cinek this afteraoon. J guess if I waive a hearing be won't bave much to get ready. What do you think about ite” 1 told bin a prolouged bearing could do him no ood, and he then sald, “I've made up my mind, thon. But I WILL MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE MURDER before I leave the court-ruom.” We bad some further conversation, and [left kim, promising, athis request, to see bim _heter. The jali—a common two-story frame nouse, with iron grat- ings ut the windows and wouden ones inside, a tlimsy, insecure structure throuzhout—stands ov alittle eminence about n block und a balf front the court-house. ‘The latter ts surrounded by a urge yard, in whici are several! srull and one large tree, one with a projecting Hmb reach- ing to the walisof the building. Wuen Irexcned the yard 1 fourid a number of people therein, ull talking about Maxwell, and all waiting patient- ly, though it was far from warm and there was soveral inches of snow on the ground, for A SIGHT OF THE Pt when be should be yrought out for bls prelimin- ary examination. Most of those gathered there seemed like farmers or tumbermen from out of town, and there was u fafr sprinkliog of women and children. As the minutes passed the crowd augmented, aud when 2. o'clock came, the court-rooin up-stuirs, a. small apart- ment at best, was crowded 16 suffocation. As Maxwell, cool and collected a3 he was yesterday when he landed from a silt in the midst of acrowd on the river-bank and not showing the fuintest truce of nervousness, was fed through tha afsie betweea Deputies \ Eoght and Coleman the crowd surged and Pushed to get a better sight of him, and threats gtew from muttenngs to menaces, but HE FLINCHED NOT A WHIT, and stood before Justices Dwyer and Hunting- ton as unconcernediy as if he had been on the ‘bench and they fn the dock. His eyes roamed a Moment over the crowd “and I saw his lips Move into n half sneering smile. Possibly be Was thinking of a remark he made to Mr. inthe morning: “There will bea biz crowd at the exnmination today. You stand at the door und sell tickets, and be sure you divvy on the Square.” To the formal question he pleaded Rot guilty. and then suid: ‘I waive examina- Gon und would lke to make a statement.” He Was told to gn on, and spoke a3 follows: “Wo Killed the Coleman boys in self-derense, but didn’t know them from Adam. We were sitting {n the erova up town when we saw them pass us. They bad guns with them, and looked around often as if searching for something. We knew there was no game about there, and that they woulda’t be hunting Sunday. - SO WE KNEW THEY WERE AFTER US, and kept a sharp lookont. When they got past ‘Us they started to run,. Then we got over the fence and followed them up the road, thiuking we were surrounded .and caughtin trap. We bad not gone but a short distance before we Met them, and the one nexrest tha fence (Michon Colemun) tired first, his-shot hitting Lon tn the face nnd-arm. Charley ‘fired at me, and lat him ina second fater.. #113 shot. struck my arm, and be fell tomy oullet, but got cn his kaee and fired again. Lon bad shot the other ‘one before that, und both were down. We thon turned and ran.” Ail this was delivered Ina conversational tone, as if it were a recital of the most ordinary adventure, and I could see as the Btory progressed that the spectators were edzing nenrer and nearer to nim. He had scarcely fin~ ished—~indeed, [ am tuclined to think he was about to continue—when with a growl like a wild beast A DOZEN MEN SPRANG ON HIM. Women shrieked as the mélée grew grenter, and it was impossibio to tell for a moment what was being done. The officers made resistance, but nota very determined one, and in less than a minute the prisoner was dragged through the yelling crowd to. the door. A rope bad wade its Appeurunce as if by magic, and when be reached the outer door thé noose was round his neck. 1 caught one glimpse of his fuce us he was gol down tho stairs. It was as pale as marble, but bigeyes glured deflunce, and every look betokened the agonizing wish: “If I had but my Winchester und # second’s freedom,,” but arms aud freedom Omnipotence alone could have given him: The,,crowd, the initiative hav- jug been taken, was WILD WITH PASSION. “Hung him! “Choke him!" * Burn him,” ete., etc., were heard on alt sides, and if pity was felt by a single crexture its expression was not heard. It tuok minutes to write this, it took sec- onds ouly to reach the tree I spoke of above. ‘The end of the rope was over tho projecting bough in un instant, and u sbuddering sob went up from tne onlookers as the body of the desperado wiis jerked into the air, # score of willing hands lugging at the other end of the rope. There were # few spasmodic clutches of the ironed bands, the feet wore drawn up once or twice, and then the bead fell over with that sickening droop fa- mitier to all who have ever witnessed such ac death, and ALL Was OVER. ‘The cord of the rope wus mude fast, the crowd dispersed In the awsome silence that fell after the deed was done,-and the body, so full of mus- cular enerey a few moments hetore, swung to and fro In the cold wind, the dritting snow ever and non hiding it In its drifting rusb. Maxwell died as be had lived, desperate man, but en- dowed with an amount of physical courage raro indeed, and tilled witn a restless energy that preferred crime to inaction. The sentiment here is, of course, divided on the question of the right of the wrong of the lynching. Most all ayer that if there had been any decent ebance of meting out ample punishinent to Muxwell by law the sommary mode would not have been pursued, while others DEPRECATE THE WMOLE AFFAIR, and say its effect will only be evil. , One thing is certain. The people of Durand bad very little todo with tne alfair. Of che arrivals from out of town, many of them were blue or redshirted jumbermen. I do not believe either that there wns any concert of action beyond a circle of tive or six, who knew, however, that they bad only to commence to receive ample support If the District-Attorney had not put off the exam- ination til! this afternoon, but hud beld it at 9 a. first intended, Maxwell would in all prob- ability be alive in Menomonee Jail at this’ mo- ment. Knight intended, he says, to take bim to Menomonee on Monday, and the team that brought him here yesterday was held across the river fur his return. ‘The Murder of the Colemans. ‘The murder of the two Coleman brothers by the desperate Williams boys is still fresh In the memory of thoxe who rend of the crime, and their meeting with the desperadoes at Durand on tne evening of Monday, July 10. is well remembered. The skifl of tha Williams brothers in the uso of firearms resulted ia the death of the brave Culemans, who bad started out to capture them, and on the dead body of Milton Coleman was found a’ blood- sonked postal-card. sigued by J. O. Anderson, Sheritf of Henderson County, bearing a descrip- tion of the two desperadoes who were wanted in ilenderson County for borse-stcaling. The enrd also. bore the following words, writ- ten in rea: “Go prepared. They are desperndoes and will resist arrest. It was this letter card that directed the Colemans to their death. THE STORY OF THE CRIME is well known, and Sheriff Anderson, who spent some time with the party in pursuit of the crim- inals, said be was determined to hunt down the murderers, as the Victims wero in a measuse per- forming bis orders when they were shot. His story of the Williams brothers is as follows: THE TRUE NAME of the family is Maxwell, and they have adopted the name of Wilttatns for use Ia Minnesota. Just ubout the commencement of the Civil War the father and mother and the two sons—one of ‘whom was at the tine a mere child—arrivea in Fulton County, Illinois, and represented tnetnselves us refugees. Tne father rent- ed a smail farm and cultivated it In Is7i the family moved to _Wash- burn, Woodford County, thence to Lexing- ton, McLean County, and thence to Colchester, McDonough County. ‘the son Edward was de- tected Ju petty thieving while in Washbura County, and during his residence in Colchester he broke into a clothing-store one. aight and took out u $70 suit of clothes which he had pur- chased a duy or two before. and ordered done up. He was employea on a farm near- the town at the time, and tho proprietor of the store soon found out that he was the thiet. He weat out to the farm. and while he was talking with tho farmer Ed stole his horse and rode rapidiy away. THE OFFIC! who were after him for the thoft of the auit gave chase, but be escaped them, Some weeks ufterthis Ed and Lon, the younger. brother, went to La Harpe and robbed tho houses of two farmers, dotng it boldly with the use of their revolvers. They were followed to the next town and found ina ealoon, but they brought their revolvers into play again und e6- caped a second tine, The two brothers were cuptured about three weeks ufterwards, but Ed succeeded in breaking jail. Subsequently he wag urrested’ and imprisoned in the Still- water Penitentiary. He was sentenced to serve a term of six years, while bis brother, Lon, wis imprisoned for three years. ‘Taeir experience in Wisconsin hus been wide, and they have a oud knowledge of the country. ‘Lon has been known at Herses, Knapp, and Menomonee for at least. two years, and, While bo bas ostensibly been work- ing, he bas been engaged in -devittry of various kipds. He has’ associated with the worst class of people, and muny serious crhaes bave been traced to bim durtog bis" resi- dence in that section. The three Wolfe brothers have been associated with him in bis depreda- tions, and they baye undoubtedly visited the inurderers in the woods, LAST FALL ED WILLIAMS Joined bis brother at Hersey, and wns described 2s looking pale, thin, and consumptive. Itis believed that they lived torether there and en- gaxed'on odd Jobs when they had no thievery on hand. On the night of May 30 they, the brothers, turned up. fn Henderson County, MUnols, and stole two horses. ‘These they rode to Coichester, renebing there Wednesday, und thence pro- ceeded to Macomb, McDonough Couuty, where they stole a single and o double barness‘and a single top-bugsy from the stable of tho Hon. WW, H. Neese, the lawyer who prosecuted Lon when he was sent to Joliet. After going twenty- || fiye miles through the woods tho buggy was rua into a stump and ruined, and the buggy and harnesses were found in the woods. They then weno to Smithfeldon the horses’ backs -and camped in the woods until Friday morning, when a boy discovered thom. They tried to fn- timidste him, and said they were out hunting. The boy gave the alarm and Sherif Anderson was telegraphed. He took the track and fol- lowed thein across the Ulinols River, Just above Peoria, where they crossed Saturday night and stopped in a sehool-house. putting the horse in a coal-shed. An alarm was given by a man who saw the horses sticking their heads outof the shed. An investigation was made, and the school-house found locked.. A trustee unlocked the door, and dn entering was CONFRONTED BY TWO REVOLVERS. ‘The crowd withdrew without further invitation, and the robbers -quietly mounted their horses and rode away. They went south three miles and doubled back, an old trick of thei, passing Sheritf Anderson and his posse in the woods. About two days after the trail was discovered, and it was found that the thieves had doubled back to Washburn, ‘where they wero known, Sheriff Anderson, who bad been informed that thoy were at Woodford, went there and found they had gone orth. Tals satisfied him that they were bound for Wisvonsin, and be sent telegrams and, postal-cards to alt sections. Use of these postal-cards wus received by the Colomans, who came upon thom aceldentally at Durand, aud were mur- dered. When ia this section thoy bad a horse and top-buxgy and fed another horse. Their riz was captured in the woods by the officers, ‘The brothers culled afterwards at the bouse ‘ot a Mrs, Sands, where they left the rig, but they eeio nc captured there, as they should have een. ‘The Crimes in Minots. On the 3d of October Inst’ Gov. Cullom offered a reward of $500 for the capture of the Williaws boys, who bad turaed up in ‘Pike County a short time betore and killed tho. Sheriff. of Calhoun County, who attempted to capture them, besides wounding two of the posse. After tho Kilting they reamed around Calhoun County and had very little trouble in keeping out of the bands of the law, either owing to the feur or friendliness of the citizens ef that coun- ty. One of their exploits wns to ride into a small Village saloon and order the drinks for a crowd of loufers, The: fatter drink, but the Willtams boys did not, and rode away without molestation. At that tinre they were heavily armed, and carried x powerful theld-giaas, by the nid of ‘which they were able to detect pursuers long defore the inter could discover them. Mow Killian Captured the Desperado, Sherif Joseph Killian, of Hall County, Ne~ braska, received information on the evening of Nov-5 lust. from Constuble Chris Stabl, of Mer riek County, that there were two suspicious characters at the house of a neighboring farmer named William Niedfeldt, Uving near Grand Island. ~The two men were supposed to be the notorious Williams brothers. The next morning sibout £ o’clock the Sheriff, Staal, and Ludwig Shultz, 2 neighbor of Niedfeldt, and August Nite, a Grand Island cigar- maker, armed themselves with shotguns and re volvers, and Started foc Niedfeldt’s house, renching there about Sa. m. They represented themselves a3 hunters, and ‘had breakfast prepared for them. While waiting they were shown {nto the room occupied by tho suspicions charucters,.who bad. heard thelr ap- proach and hud their Winchester rifics lying within eusy reach, while two revolvers. lay un- der their pillows. Killiua passed tho time ‘of day with the brothers, who represented them- selves as GOOSE-UNTERS : from Hastings. a town on the Burlington & Missouri Ruilroad. Thoy were asked questions - about the town ~ and its inhubitants, which they were. unable to answer, and this fact, togetber with tho fact that they were too heavily armed for g003e-hunters, con- vinced Killian of their Identity, and he resolved to arrest them while at the breakfast table. The boys dressed themselves lelsurely, keeping an eye On the Sherilf's posse, ana it was noticed that Lon Williams, who bad lost the second toe on his right foot, put his stockings on with his feet under the bedclothing. AFTER DRESSING, ED POSTED TIMSELF near the corner of the room, with bis right hand on his Winchester, while Lon left his bat and coat and leisurely walked out’ of the kitchen door una towards the barn. Changing his plans, Killlan coolly walked. up to Ed, and said: “I want you." As Ed moved to bring up his gun, - Killian grabbed and floored him, and took the gun away, Nitseh covering him with a shotxun. On being secured and bound, he saw that. the ‘Jig was up,” and’ set up a series of yells to alarm Lon. The tatter run to the corner of the house, but wus confronted by Killian, who was tnere, and covered him with a revolver and ordered him to halt. Lon replied with a shot, but KILLIAN DODGED, got into the kitchen, closed the door, and put his foot against it. Lon came up,expecting Itto tly wide open. It only opened a few Inches, and Lon found himself looking into the muzzle of Nitech’s gun. He then jumped around a corner of the house and went to auother window, but Nitsch was ready for him und aimed ut his bead. Both cartridges, however, failed to explode. _ ‘rhis seemed to satisfy Lon that further at- tempts at rescutog his brother would be futile, gave itupasu bad job, and made for the tall wrasson the bottom at fullspeed. By 7:2 that evening Ed was tunded at the Grand Island Jail. PERSONALS, It is reported that one of Gov.
