THE OMAHA DAILY ELEVENTH THE CRIMINAL'S CADAVER Which is Getting to be a Subject of Dispute, A New York Man Claims to Have Secured it For Exhibition. Proposing to Whack Up on the Proceeds With Gui- teau's Relatives. ‘This is Indignantly Denied by the Sister of the Con- demned Man. But Scoville Evidently is Willing to Take His Share.! National Associated Tross. New York, February 1. —A Phla- delphia special says the aunounce- ment was recently made that J. H. Ridgeway, the patentee and builder of refrigerators cars, had made over- tures to George Scoville for the pur- chase of the assassin Guiteau's body after death. Rideeway recently re- ceived a letter from Scoville saying «that the relatives regarded the propo- sition favorably. It now appears that Ridgeway’s project is to build one of his cars especially for the pur- .pose, fit it up elaborately, and trans- port Guiteaw’s body from one end of the country to the other, exhibititig it wherever a stop is made. The body will be perfectly preserved in a frozen coudition. Ridgeway estimates there is a million dollars in the enterprise. J. H. Ridgeway says he has received the following letter with regard to his proposition to exhibit the aemains of Guiteau: “WasHiNaron, D, C., January 30, 1882. —Your’s of the 28th iust. re- ceived. The relativi« are inclined to regard your propusiion favorably in case of death. The brain wi'l have to be removed and post mortem ex- amination made. (Signed) “GrORGE ScoviLLe.” It is understood that Mr, Ridge- wao gives the relatives $5,000 with a percentage. He calculates this will make the total price for the oorpse $40,000 at least. If the offer is accepted the body would be preserved by a patent re- frigerating process, ice and salt being the materials used. The exhibition oar and retrigerator will cost $30,000. Mr. Ridgeway says that it will be elegantly carpeted and upholstered, and the metalic cooling apparatuswill be concealed by rich hangings. It has not yet been decided how the body will be disposed of, but it will be arranged #0'as to look as natural as possible. The furm' will be drassed us in life, and the features it is expected will retain the expression as they were immediately after they became fixed in death. ~ Mr, Ridgeway says this will result from the state of perfect preservation in which the corpse will be retained by the reirigamting appa- ratus. He says: “We will visit all of the chief cities of this country, after which we will go to Europe and probably exhibit the body in all of the principal cities of the continent. I think we wiil do even better finan- eially there than in this country. In London especially I expect to| get largereturns. 1 wrote to Guiteau soon after his trial began, making a similar proposition to him. He re- plied, saying that he was dispored to regard my proposals with favor but that he would have to refer me to his counsel. I think there is no doubt but that I shall get the body and I am now making arrangements to se- cure the largest halls in the country.’’ WasHiNGToN, February 1. —Dis- | trict Attorney Corkhill says that Sco- ville is a worse crank than Guiteau if thinks that the American people will answer his address and contribute money. Mr. Reed holds a very dit- | ferent opinion as to Scoville’s ad-| dress and 8 “1 have done about all 1 can do. Mr. Scovilles appeal states the thing very well this morning. T have done all I could for Guiteau in an bouorable and gentlemanly way. | .1 think that appeal of Mr. Scoville’s | isa good manly utterancc. 1t may | not amount to anything, There are | ople who T believe would like to | olp him, but are afraid the publhc clamor demand this man’s execution,” Buv._h ofticers and privates at the Washington barracks complain of the service required of them m doing guard duty at the jail over Guiteau, which they consider unnecessary. Said one of the officers to a local re- porter: *‘I wish that you would put in 4 paragraph to the effect that the small” pox hospital s only 160 yards from the jail. Our men have to march back and forth by it evory day. There are 500 people in thin garrison and suppose they should br}ng the small pox here, If you print something about it the secretar of warand other people up town will see it. If they want us to guard Guifeau why not bring him down here?" Mr. Scoville's attention being called to the dispatches about the sale of Guiteau's body to J. H, Ridgeway, of Philadelphia, he took a pencil and wrote as follows “1 said the proposition would be entertained, if the time ever arrived, First, there must be a post mortem examination of the brain; second, such disposition of the body as will be without objection 1o the relatives, No indignities. I said no money derived therefrom would ever be used by his relatives; it would be applied to pay- ing his debts, and then to promote the care of insane people.” Charles H. Reed, one of Guiteau's counsel, to-night characterizes the Pproposition concerning the exhib tion of &limu'a body after execution, to be shocking, monstrous and damnable, He thinks Scoville has shown bad YEAR. taste in ever considering the disposi- tion of the body of a client. Scoville is evidently scrious about the proposed exhibition of Guiteau's body, which is an indication that there is little_hopes on his part of a new trial. Tt is not likely the government will permit such a course. The authorities will probably hold the body, as they did {;nmh‘n Cricaco, February 1. The atten tion of Mrs. Scoville was directed to the dispatch from Phlladelphia de- tailing the arrangements of J. H. Ridgeway to preserve and exhibit the body throughout the country. The dispatch seemed to indicate that the relatives of the assassin were willing such dispositisn should be made of his remains, After reading the dispatch, Mrs. Scoville said: “‘I'don’t believe anything of this kind has been done. We have not got to the point of con- sidering what shall be done with the remains of my brother, whenever and however he may die. T shall take the body and have a post mortem made by experts of my own selection. I alone shall decide as to the disposi- tion to be made of his remains, The idea of exhibiting his body around the country is horrible, and L wouldn't have it done if we were starving, and we have not reached that desperate state of poverty yet. An offer of §5,- 000 cash was made to me for _the body of Charlos, but T refused it. There isn't enowgh money in the country to buy it for the purpose of exhib So far as he is able to make legal dis- position of his body and of his effects, he has given them to me. T him to make a will, but Mr. Scoville said he could not do that as he was insane, and it would have no legal force if he should now be induced to make a will disposing of his body so that it might be put on exhibition. I would contest its validity in court just as T would contest the act of any other insane nl:m#flml affected me. But then people nged not put them selves to too much’ trouble about this matter. Charles Guiteau is not going to be hung.” “Do you want me to understand that this dispatch with your husband'’s name attached is bogus ?” I don’t know anything about that. I am satistied my husband would not send such a dispateh without consult- ing me, and he knows that such an arrangement could not be made with- out my consent.’ Bad Work of a Bull Whaoker. Special Dispatch to Tuy B Swyey, Neb.,, February 1.—A murderous, cowardly shooting affair occurred at Running Water ranche, one hundred miles north of here, late last night. A bull whacker named John Lewis wanted to run the ranche, and Mrs. Hughes, the proprietress, in endeavoring to eject him, was shot by Lewis in the posterior, the ball of 45 calibre, Oolt’s, lodging near .the rec- tum. He fled in the darkness. No trace could be found of him. The cow-boys seem hostile over the event, and a large posse of them started out this morning after him, and his car- cass will probably danzle from a tree if captured. This same Lewis killed a cow-boy at Fort Robinson two months ago, and by some means was acquitted, and all supposed he left the country. His record throughout has been villainous and tough. Murder in Lincoln Special to the Ber LiNcoLy, Neb, February 1. — Much excitement was created here to-day by the announcement that a young girl had been cooly murdered.

Mr. Morgan's amendment led to a spirited debate on the legality of 3§ per cents. Mr. Windom warmly defended the constitutionality, legality and wisdom of his course. The substitute was finally with drawn and a clause inserted in the bill ratifying and confirming his acts. The bill was then reported from the committee of the whole 1o the senate, when further debate sprung up on Mr. Plumb’s amendment limit- ing redemption to $100,000,000, when the senate went into executive session and confirmed the nomination of S.

Mr. Hill presented a bill reducing letter postage to two cents for a half ounce and for packages fromone and one-half to two ounces four cents and for each additional two ounces, two cents. At 1 o'clock the house went into committee of the whole to consider the postoflice appropr ations. Mr. Morrison, in explaining pro- visions of the bill said the amount ap- propriated for letters carriers would permit the postmaster general to in- erease the pay of ausilaxy letter carriers, now numbering about 400 and getting but $400 per year.

Mr. Bingham gave notice he would, when the bill was read in section, move to increase the sum of $2,950,- 000 appropriated by free delivery sya- tem, $300,000. The bill was then referred to the house for general debate to-morrow. A communication was received from the secretary of the interior in answer to an inquiry from the house. The inquiry was: “‘If all claims for pen- sions for the war of the rebellion should be adjudicated within the seyen years period terminating June 30th, 1888, and at the end of that period survivors of the Mexican war and widows shall be pensioned, what will be the sum required to pay pensions during the next twenty-five years’” The reply puts the entire sum at $6,347,601, 593, of which $51,921,616 is alloted to Mexican war claimants, The annual requirements begin with $62,000,000 for 1881, and grow grad- ually less until in 1906, the last year, when the stimated sum required is £233,000,000.
