— UTAH. The Notorious Bill Hicke man Arrested. 4. Graphic Story of This Noto- rious Danite. Dark Deeds Among the Mox- mons Uncovered. How Brigham Ruled in the Days | Gone By. Hickman Charged with Nu- merous Murders, HIS CONFESSION HOPED FOR, Savt Lake City, August 29, 1971, Every reader avquainted with the damning charges of secret murder that have been a stigma and disgrace to the name of Mormonism and Utan must be familiar with the name of the notorious ill” Hickman, and will }earn with special gratifl- cation that this bloodstained Mormon is at last in ‘the grasp of the federal adthorities and tn safe con- finement in a United States military calaboose, ‘There 1s nothing in history so repulsive to the soul a@sareligious murderer—oue who can biess you, smile upon you, ani in the next instant “blow the top of your head cf’ as a holy duty and obligation, Just such a villain has been this Bill Hickman, and 1% 18 devoutly to be wished that the law may not be cheated of its claims by the tortuous wiudings of special pleadings and questions of jurisdiction, THB MURDERER’S LIFE, To sketch “Bill” Hickman would be the revelation Of @ vitlany that far surpasses Italian banditt: and Venetian professional murderers in the paimy days ofthe Dozes, when a look was aione suftictent to consign the antortunate to the dreary dungeon, the rack or ‘the tron mask.’’ There has never been an fmotaent of damning darkness in this Territory with which “ili’s” name has not been associated; ‘and if he will only now speak out and tell the work that ne has done for Brigham’s Church and by “order” there wall be a revealment in his confes- sons far beyond anything in history or romance. Personally he is a man oi five feet nine or ten inches ts height, heavy set, with as pleasant a smilie on his ! countenance as ever painter portrayed ina saint, | He has been reckoned the most pleasant cutthroat of his day, and tue last man in a crowd of strangers that would have ever been suspected of domg the Works that now promise to bring hum to the gal- lows. He was an ELDwR IN THE CHURCH. He has been over thirty years a Mormon elder, @losely initiate with Brigham Young tor the first twenty of tise years and ever ready to do bis vid- ding. How much, if anything, he has done in his profession for Brigham he can now teil if‘he will; ; but without waiting for is confessions he is known with bis gang of confederates to have put scores of Persons “where the dogs could not bite them,” aud Jor which he was never brought to punishment; not ¥en has be ever been arraigned. “KILLED BY INDIANS,” In tho vear 1556, the year preceding the expedt- ton of tie Untied States troops to this place, Hick man and bis party are accused of naving left this eity and witched the return of Secretary Bavbitt on ‘the Plains and killed him and his companion at Ash Hotiow, near the divide, between the North and South Forks of the Platte river. Babbitt had been to Washington, D. C., where he hud initiated hos- tility to Brighain’s intolerable reign, and on his re- turn was met and murdered at that place, and all the regret expressed by Brigham was that “ne had lived as a fool and died as a fool,” and tt was agood lesson for opposing him. Within a few miles of the same place, and within forty-eight hours, two Mormon elders, with their two wives and @babe, were also killea, They had left Salt Lake Oity disgusted, and were overtaken ‘by the In- d@ians” and killed, Hickman and his attendants are charged in the public mind with those murders, | and that by the order of his superiors, BURSTS UP A MEETING. In 1855 he was certainly Kuown to have burst In the dvors of a private dwelling house in this city, Where a Spiritualist, now living in Chicago, but ‘Whose name now escapes me, Was holding a meet- ing, and two of the company then assembled were Killed, Nouning was done with Hitckman, and, what 3s astonishingly strange, one of Brigham’s car riage drivers to.day 1s the son of one of those victims and believes that his fatuer was righuy served, Brigham’s young coachman 1s @ brave man, and would have kilied Hickman long ago if he had not believed that his father was wrong in listening to a Spirituaiist. is credulity was larger than bis pa rental atfection, and nis is no: the only case where sons have accepted the deaths of apostate parents and said “at was all right.” In that same bloody year Hickman was sned for a devt by aGenthe, a gambler, it Is said, and during its pendency in the Court he sought a quarrel with Bis creditor and killed hlin at the door of the hotel im the principal street. Thut trminated the suit and saved the money. MANY MEN HAVE DISAPPEARED and been seen no more, and ilickman was the last to have known anything of them, and no action was ever taken to find out their whereabouts, Hiokman was safe enough. It isa rule tn this city never (o make any Inguiry on such matters, It has been impsvnted into the minds of the peopie that if they kuow noting tiey will always be sure of es- caping from intorrogatory. Let a report such as that of the assassination of tne lamente! Dr. Robin- gon be put in circulation, and ask @ Mormon If he knows anything of it, “No, and [don't want to know.” That is the logic, aud a man such as that exceilent gentieman just named may be aliured from his home at midnight under the guise of claiming his professional services and | jn an unguarded moment he is assassinated. In a place like this, where at that time there were not a Hundred Genales in the city, Brighaui'’s police could not find it out, While there was a muitiiude of evi- dence that at least eight petsous were seen running of trom the murdered man, At the examination no one Knew a thing about it. HORSE THIRVES. ‘This arrested Hickman was Jor years the principal of a gung of young desperailoes who lived by horse and catiie steaung of the Gen. tiles, and murders when necessary, The best evidence of this fs the fact that in later years, since Hickman forsook wriguam, the Mormons accuse Mim of being a false and ‘vad ‘man @nd tell in justification of that charge that he de- ceived ihe young boys With the story that he was acting In consort with “the Old Boss,” as he calied Brigham, On several Occasions, beivre some des. perate enterprises were undertaken and the “phoys” were doubtful of the right of the business, Hickman used to go up to Brigham’s orice and managed co be seen talking with nim.

HIS LAST MURDER. Hickman, beg a full-blooded Mormon, was na- turally and cousistently & patriarch—a polygamist. Hie had three wives raising a terrible family, nesiled In crime and familiar with the lowest phase of tile here—which, it 18 proper to be said, Is only of that class, and not the characteristic of the mass of the people. One of his wives wanted to leave him; she was sick of such a life. she became aeguainted with & Mexican, a tall, powerful man, who was in the service otf United States at a place forty miles from here, houinally looking after the military reserve that was vacated in 1861, This Mexican Was an in- dustrions man, and attended to his own affairs, Hickman’s wife became acqnainted with him, and in course of ume they were married, She took her young daughters with her, and the Mecican was very kind to them, and was giving them what educa- Uon he could. Hickman seemed | leased enough at this, till, about @ year ago, he demanded the daughters, The mother wanied them to stay, and tne daughters wanted toremain. Tae Mexican sald he shouid not interfere; 1f tuey wanted to go it was weil; 1: they wanted to stay he would do the best for them that he could, Mickiman was determined, and sent his son-in-law—as worthless a scoundrel ag himself—and another man to take the girls. ‘They forced then into an open wagon; but after it was in Inotion the girls leaped out and one oi them was in- | jured. They got back to their mother, HIS FAMILY TROUBLES Hickman next applied to a Mormon bishop, at Joocle, tor egal autnority, as he was County Judge, to take the giris, and this Inmp of corruption gave hit orders to take them. They were sti minors, During this procedure Hickman was threatening to klil the Mexican, who in turn said that he had no quarrel with Hickman; but he was willing to tight lui with knife or pistols or tn any way iie pleased in dayiznt, but he did not want him to come and | assassinate him in the dark, The Mexican had boen here for counsel from the lawyer who turnished me these facts, as told to him by the Mextcan, and had omy got hoine a day bee fore his murder. A BRUTAL ASSASSINATION, At nine o'clock in the evening, when ail was stil) and in the darkness of mght, three men rede up io the Mextean’s log house and one asked for a drink of water, As the Mexican brought it out and handed it to him, in raising his hand he was at the viliatu’s mercy. In an instant the rider’s cloak opeded, & Shot gan Was out and its contents poured into tle Mexican’s breast, He fell dead. One 01 is associates came to the door and eseaped the contents of a revolver aimed at nis head, but in his effort to escape was shot in the leg. He con. cealed himself 1a the brush and crawled to the side of the lake, near the house, where he was after wards found very weak. He recovered. MI3 WIFE TESTIFIES AGAINST HM, In the darkness of the night the three men did not see &@ Wagon that was camped for the nignt, but the two men with it saw them and saw the flashes of ihe pistols, Hickmau and two men were seen eartier in the evening rid- ing together in tiat direcuion, ais wife fiat had been aud another woman in the-honse are said to have recognized his voice. On these facts being made knowa to the Grand Jury 1m this city, during the last September session of tue Third District Court, @ true bil was found against Hickman for murder, He had keptout of reach, theu he fled, and | Was taken the day betore yesterday and brought va the city and lodged in the Camp Douglas cala- ose, What hope he could havo of escape no one can see, but love of life and iiberty aud the chances of escape, by even death im some way other than at the hands of the executioner, probably inspired him, ; and getting Ured of conceaiment ne wandered agun near his old stamping grounds and got caught, HIS GANG, Of this man’s associations and brethren in crime @ volume might be writtea of thrilling adventure, He is about tue last of that band, though a few others yet remain, and a new band has replaced them more consistent with the times, under the protecting gis of “pectal po.ice.’? Of Hickman’s confederates they have nearly all died violently. When a Governor from Indiana was returning East after an unfortunate yausr pas ne was set upon by four of Hickiman’s crowd, about a | dozen miles from here, and brutally beaten, ‘This gave terrible offence to “the authorities” here, as | they wished Dawson to go home disgraced and | Without any attempt at violeuce, They wanted it to | be said that he fed from iear.

An order Waa lmmeadiately issued for their arrest, ona tara eanoht and brangnt 1 town by the Woasds Prien Rockwell, They Ai? rived in town eariy in the morning, in the winter, before there was a soul 10 the streets, The police were escorting them to the county jaii through the deep, untrodden snow. Suddenly two shots were , heard, aud the prisoners lay in their gore. The story was circujaied in the city that j they had run away and the police stopped them. In those aays it was tne {nll reign of the Priesthood, and it was Brignam’s | logic that Wien men were no longer controilabie it | Was Ule quickest and easiest way to put them out of sight. Especially was this desiravie as one of ine victims was_a@ Clawson, a@ familiar name here | and relaied to Brigham, and the third, who had escaped for the moment, was a Huntingdon, tne nephew of one of his proxy wives. it was better to have no trial and the two prisoners con- yeulently sought to escape and the police shot then close enough in the back of their heads for the powder to singe the hair. THE PURSUIT. Huntingdon was still at liverty and tried to get out of tue Territory, He stole @ horse to effect his escape, and so Porter Rockwell, with the young man whose liorse was stolen, pursued him on the over- land mail route to California, They got up to him in the night and watched for his departure, Nott- fied of their presence, he was trying to escape from the corral by making @ hove large enough to ailow Nun and his horse to get out, At that moment Por: ler said to the young fel.ow, ‘Now's your time; give it to nim.” Huntingdon fell over, a dead man. The companion in his fiigat knew the desperate man who Was after them and gave himself ap. CUT TO PIRCES. Jace Luce, the last of them, had some temporary imprisonment, and not long after he cut to pieces & man (rom Montava as he was entering the Sait Lake House to go to breaxiast, The Montanian was a scoundrel and had abused Luce in Montana, and Luce swore to kill him whenever he met him. He drew his knife and stabbed tum all over, ‘The Mormons Were tired of Luce and were deter- mined to make an example of tim. He was tried aud condemued to be executed, He asked to be shot, and before his death made the confession that damned the present Hickman. Should “Bil be brought before & Mormon jury he will be bung sure. ‘His day 1s over. He has been always understood to have been the second man in the Danite band—Rock well the first.

A Dranken Rowdy Draws His Revolver and Deliberately Shoots an Unoflending Citizen, Late on Monday night three drunken villains, ripe for mischief, entered the lager beer saloon corner of Ninth avenue and Sixty-second street, kept by John 8, Miller, and cailed for drink, The party conducted themseives in 80 pois terons and beastly & manner that the proprietor was obliged to close = the Place a8 an excuse for ridding himself of his ribald and unwetcome guests, After their ejection by this stratagem the party stood on tne sidewalk and howled and vlasphemed im 80 out.

The country will read to-day with affright and Pain the sad story chronicled below. Cn Sunday last, at a late hour in the day, Coroner Nelson W. Young was informed by Sergeant and Acting Captain Brooks that a young woman was lying dangerously ul at 21 Ridge street, tn this city. This information was given only when the able and efficient omecer had made certain of the mature of the death of the woman and of the culpabiitty of certain parties he had under surveillance. ‘The Coroner acted with commendable promplinde and discre- tion, The name of the young woman was Mary Russell, aged twenty-two years, an empioyé in Nex bitt’s envelope factory, in Frankiin street, and re- siding at 83 East Broadway, About a year ago she became intimately acquainted with Mr. Harry Pulien, @ compositor in Frank Lesiie’s establish- ment, and respectably connected. The extent of the Intimacy with this person will be shown when the culprit comes to trial, It is saic, by those who onght to know, that after the wariaih of her first acquaintance with Pullen nad cooled a lit te, Miss Russell went on many moonlight excurs.ons, This may or may not excuse the cone duct of Mr, Pullen, but it certaialy throws additional Ugh: on the subject, and, however unpleasant it may be to the persons concerned, it 1s a matter of public MUerest ANG Murr we securae THE UNFORTUNATE AND BETRAYED GIRL sought (whether under advice or not cannot now be ascertained) the aid of & woman wlio, it is re- ported, nas lived for years by the destruction of human Iife. The result was a cruel murder of the mother and the destruction of her unborn child, Mrs, Brumidge, alias Byrnes or Burns, the in- famous woman who destroyed the germs of jife in the child, 1s now in the Tombs, She 18 familiar with tne place; and, without wishing to prejudge the question of her guiit or innocencp itmay be said that there are many persons in Clin- ton street, where she practiced her vile arts, who fervently hope tnat the place that now knows her may soon Know her no more forever, The ho keeper of the woman Byrnes is deemed to ve equally culpable. She is a widow of about thirty years of age and good louking. She may save herself and do the dishonured community u service by turning State’s evideuce. «aS may be supposed, the dread. ful affair, iollowing so soon after THE ROSENZWEIG ATROCITY, canes much excitement. ‘Lhe deceased Mary Russell was avery beautiful and vrightgirl of fine features and well developed form, before her troubie she weigiied one hundred and forty pounds; her body as it now jics at the resi- dence of her sister, in Ridge street, weighs only seventy pounds, Her room mate asserts, with tears o/ loving regret, that she was a very good girl, atlece tionate and kind, and most care‘ul in her conduct and expressions, and the bulk of the testimony, ob- tained yesterday, supporis the ssertion, Ali the guilty or supposed guilty parties are in custody, and the necessary Wilnesses have quarters in the House of Detention. The HERALD reporters yesterday made diligent inquiries into the circuinstances atteuding the death of the young woman and the arrest of the alleged abortionist. Tne foliowing OF ACTING CAPTAIN BROOKS was their reward:— About eight o'clock on Sunday evening Dr. Bienen came to me and told me that he was visiing a patient, a young lady residing ut 21 Ridge street, and he was afraid that there was something etrange, and probably something serious, in rejation to her case. His iriend Dr. James, who had gone tno the country, had veen attending her tor two weeks previously. The symptoms of nis patient, he said, ‘were those of labor pains or miscarriage. The Doc- tor went to see her and told me that he found her getting considerably worse; that he had had a con- versation with her, in substance as follows:—She said she aidn’t know what was the matter with her; that she was married aud had been married six months; did not know how old the child was, per- haps two ov three months; could not tell whether she had a miscarriage or not. ( he young jady thea described the doctor's operations with her) vr bliven then remarked, “Ii you are A MARRIED WOMAN I must make & medical examination.” She con- sented, and the result was that he (ound an after birth, The usual symptoms consequent on such cases 10llo wi She appeared for two or three days to be improving; then there followed symp- toms of @ very serious character and more than he conid understand. He, therefore, went to her sister's, at 21 Kidge street, and told the sister of the dangerous condition in which the young woman Waa, and that it looked to him as though his patient had had recently a miscarriage, accompanied by Jufammation of the bowels, and he also expres:ed his opinion that his patient would die. On visiting Mary Kussell the following day he iound ber CRYING AND IN GREAT MENTAL AGONY. Te inquired of her what was the matter, to which she said sne did not know. She declined to give me any further insormation. “1 then,’’ said the Doctor, “went tosee fer sister again, and told her that Mary Russell was goiug to div, and advised her to go and tell her so and urge her to give the whole facts of the case, On Saturday Mary got worse and was sat- isfed she was abuatto die, She conceded that it was better to make the matter known, When she had come to that determination Pr.

Indeed, one young wo- man, who informed me that she had had four operations performed upon her, and each one successfuly, became so violent when I indig- nantly refused that she fell upon her knees and im- plored me tor her poor mother’s sake to commit the PHREB YOUNG LADIES there, whose ayes seeined to be trom eighteen to | twenty-two, One of them was evidently a domes- Uc, tie other two were ladies oi a mucn iuyher | social povition, They wid not seem to me to be | under the medical weatment of the Madame, red the statement, before we retired for the nigat, that twe of these ladies were friends of hers, who had lately come on a visit.

Entertaining the greatest respect and veneration for the press, it nevertheless sometimes occurs to Us a8 just possible that the Scriptural expression of slaying “with the ‘aw’-boue of an ass’? has allu- sion to the reportorial fraternity of that particular period, wherein occasionally they amosed them. selves then, as now, by abusing some portion of the community who happeued for the time to be in the minority. fai Who will enlighten us?

The report in this morning’s edition of your Widely circulated paper of the inquiry into the | cause of the death of my brother before Coroner Herrman Is partly incorrect. The map that was tn company with him was Frank McMahon, head waiter in the Home Made Hotel, and not the man Brice, as stated im your paper.

Will the New Frrry House Remain Intact?~ Int resting Opinion of the Corpora tion Counsel of Brooklyn. Ashort time since Street Commissioner Furey, of Brooklyn, notified the Union Ferry Company that they were encroaching on the public street with their new ferry house, at the foot of Fulton street, and caused inquiry to be made of the company by what authority they claimed a right to make this encroachment, The ferry company fatied to answer the Street Commissioner; but Cyrus P. Suuth, the managing director, went 80 far as to charge that the whole thing was a blackmailing job, and to say that the company would see the Street Department in purgatory before they would pay out a cent, The Street Commissioner subsequently wrote to Corporation Counsel De Witt for advice as to what course should be pursued. Mr. De Witt yesterday replied to Mr. Furey with a lengthy opinion, advise ing him to enforce tne law and remove the obstruc- tions, Mr. De Witt said :— AN OUIRAGE ON THE CITY. No outrage upon the rignt and dignity of the city could be more flagraut than the one you narrate. ‘The streets upon which this new encroachment 1s made are among the oldest we possess, Indeed, It 1s fair to say, from the decision of tho Court of Appeals in Duman vs, Williams, 87 New York, that Fulton street has fallen to the city by succession trom the old Dutch government, which owne! tt in fee during the earliest settlement, Such a possesston, unlikd the city’s rights in most of the streets, is one of own- ership of the lana in fee simple absolute. But whether the tenure 1s thus full or of a more limited character 1t Is in the minds Of all that both Water and Fulton streets at the point in question have been in the possession and control of the city since 1935, Over them the city has exercised its authority, Placed tts police force and enforced its authority these many years. In the year 1835 Water street Was opened by the city, and shortly after by the city, it Was graded aud paved, Fulton street has been! graded and repaved by the city before and since the terry company came into existence, No one knew better than this corporation tat the right of tha city to those streets stood beyond its challenge. THE FERRY COMPANY ADMITTING THAT THEY ARE TRESPASSERS, This department commands the evidence to show that the oilicers of the ferry company admitted that they were trespassers tn making this extension, and the faot that such men should indulge the tims pretext that they were jusiifed in violation of munis cipal right because they had recetved we permis- sion of a single Alderiman—the assumptivn of whose power they Well knew to be ridiculous—shows how fully conscious they were of thelr own guilt, bug how fully superior tuey also felt to the lawiully con- stivuted authorities. Thave said these men knew they were engaged in a trespass. They knew more; they knew if the possession of tuis extra portion of the street was essential tv a more liberal operation of their ferry or the pabiic accome modation that they could and should submit the matter to the city government, and that the city government migdt adjust i. ‘That, witn so fair a course before them, thts wealthy corporation should knowingly seize a portion of the public streets aud then studiously insult and defy the municipal an. thorities 1s, L repeat, as flagrant an outrage upon city rights as could be devised. The mode and power of redress are both, happily, plain and ample, ‘They rest, as will be seen, in your hands; the Legis- lature, by our charter, has not only tnvested our city government with the right of opening, grading, paving aud reguiaung streets, but it expressiy authorizes the Common Couneil to make rule# and regulations to PREVENT AND REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS and encroachments in and upon all wharves, sieels and public places, (See chapter 63, laws of 1s62, section 13.) Li 113 creation of your ofice the Legislature imposed upon you the ‘*iuty of per- forming all services thus required by the Common Council in relation to widening or regulating, grad- ing and paving siveets and avenues, with such other duties as may trom time to time be presented for your Consideration by the Common Counce! not inconsistent with your oflice.” ‘The Cominon Coun- cll, In the face of this plainly vested power, alter giv+ ing to the Street Commissioner general supervision over all the streets, avenues, squares, wharves and pers and pubic places of the city, made to your department tle ivilowing express assigument of duty:—“ile shall have power to remove or cause to be removed any obstructions or encumbrances from all the streets, lanes, alleys, roads, wards and publid places in the city, He shall report any person abus- ing any such restriction to the artorney tor prosecu. uon, abd the expense of such removal shali be paid out of the penaities in the Treasury, and the tinan- cial oficials Ol the city are a@utnorizea to pay tha same, and draw warrants therefor.” ion 7, Laws and Ordigance, page 269.)

A municipal government ts not compelled to seek the interveution of the courts lu entorce it4 processes, It abandons lis just mghis and dignity if it fails to eutorce them itself, In comunon law & State could not sue or be sued, it being assumed that it hath the strength to execute its own power and equity to meet all its obligations, Wile this doctrine has been somewhat altered under our system of goverument, 1t nevertheless remains true with us, and, as to political power, the Staie must execuie for iiself. The State aud the city stand alike ta this parucular. Both uuder our sys- tem may sue in our courts to coliect a debt or iorce an eyectment, where either ts an owner in fee, But that the State should have to sue to carry out any Of its political powers, such as repelling in- vasion, or that the city must invoke the ald of the courts In Managing its governmental jurisdicuon over its streets, are In my judgment propositions which neither government can entertain withous surrendering tts aignity, Througn the Legislature aud the Common Council your department: has be- come the repository of the power to clear the streets of the city trom any and all obstrucuons, In execut- ing this trust you have a right, if need ve, to CALL TO YOUR ASSISTANCE THE ENTIKE LOKCE OP POLICE. It is to no purpose that we have acity government if any trespasser may set it utdefiance. The just power and diguity of the government are gone, if, after you have been insulted and repelled by a coi poration occapying a public highway, you «re: driven to pursue only tie dilatory remedy of a suit in ejectment, throug all the stages of a protracted litigation before the city ean make its authority known and felt. Nor are we required to make Minute and laborious mvestigation into the city’s tutie before you proceed. The fact that the govern. ment of your cily as for years been tn full posses- sion of ap open, graded and paved street, which by your maps and records has mimits upon which iutringements are being mace, 13 in =my judgment suflicient. if ths jong continued jurisdiction has been faulty jin oriain; if there is some long standing diMeuity im the public tide it 1s for the party making the et croachment under such a claim to seek the interven ton of the couris; strange if a policeman In makir @n arrest is to be held seriously accouutabic for tie technical validity of vhe statute creating the offence, or the constitutionality of tho act calling his force into being. It 1s enough for you to know tiat here has been @ deliberate encroachment upon land, paved, controiled and acknowledged ay 4 pubic street through @ long series of years, and an en- croachment made with @ confession of trespass, and, above all, an eucroaciment accompanied by a defiance of the city’s power aud aa iusull to the city’s dignity.
