Mra, Gotterman eays she eaid noth 10g about what was in_the box or package. The next intelligence Mrs, (iotterman had of Mrs, Richards was the nowa of her death, which she received in July, 1834, Then sho thought showould see what was in the pack- age. When she opened them she was sur- prised. In the box was $7,(00 worth of Uni- ted States bonds and about $2,500 worth of jew- elry, The package contained bank books and more jewelry which brought the total valus of the treastire to about $25,000. Mrs, Got- terman did not know of the existenca of Mr, Richards, who was then in charge. She hired a lawyer, Peter B, Vermilyea, wholooked up the dead woman's heirs, Last December, 33, he found Richards at Jacksonville, Illinois, and informed him of his wife's death and por- sonal property ehe had left. Richards says the lawyer offered to settle up the esta e upon the hatis that, should it realize %20,000 he should receive $7,000 counsel fee and $2,000 for expenses, Richards did not come to New Yorl until last February, when he had an understanding with Vermilyea.

When the taking of testimony was continued Dr. Charles E. Dennison, who dressed Rosa's testified as to their location and This ended the case for the prose- cution, The counsel for Mrs. Dudley then opened the case for the defonse.

The de ponents declared that Mrs, Dudley was not in her right mind Elizabeth 3. Tonlius, a privato teacher, who resides at the same place as Mrs, Dadley tes- tified that for several days previous to the shooting of Kossa, the prisoner hud acted in a strange monner, Sho had buudles of Rossa's newspapers contaning reports of tho recent explosions in Londoen, and in speaking to the wituess of Rossa Mrs. Dudley had aliuded to the advisatulity of ndding] the earth of such 4 man, Dr, A. I MacDonald, superintendent of the asylum for the insane on Ward’s Island, testificd that he was convinced that M Dudley was sufferivg from chronic mania, Mre, Dudley had told the witness that there were three inen she had determined to punish with death, and that Rossa was the firat on her list.

Mrs. Dudley’s coun #el sald that they found themsalves in a gome- what peculiar position They had been try- ing to prove that their client was ineane, She on her part insisted that she was not insane a at the time of the attack, and insisted on her right to go on the stand’ and tessify in ber own behalf, The coursel could not see how they could do otherwise than call her as a witness, It was finally agreed that she should ba called to the stand sfter recess, Alfter the recess Mri udley’s lawyers tried their best to get ber to forego her determine” tion of becoming a witness, She persisted in her ioteutiens, however, and at the word from the grmecuting counsel she , walked quickly to the witness chair and was sworn. L'hen she said: *'Gentlemen of the jury, I may or I may not be insane, buat if it 1s aceu- te that my actica was for 'the possession of almighty dollar then I have no doubt you will readily decide that I am not iosane. wish you to dec!de my case by acquitting me, either on the ground that my action was juitifiable, or comvict me. I was 1o doubt as to whother Jeremiah O'Donovan, Patrick Ford or Mesegorofil was the ‘more responsible, I read O'Donovan'a and Ford's papers and read about Mesegaroff and then I went to see O'Donovan.

Ths jury wera only in conkuitation about five minutes when they rendered their verdict, Motion was made to sond Mra, Dudley to the state lunatic asylum which her coungel opposed, The latter asked that their client be permitted to be returned to her native country and be placad in_an in stitution there, The court will listen to arguments on this motion Thursday, Nzw Yonk, June 30.—The court room where Mrs, Dudley is being tried for assault upon Rossm was crowded to euffocation. Counsel for the defense claimed the prisoner committed the aesault not from personal mo tives but love of her country, and also claimed that Mrs, Dudley was not a responsible person, Several witnessos were examinod among whom were two experts and they testified to the unsound condition of the prisoner's mind Mrs, Dudl y here interrupted the proceed- inga by asking permission of stating whether ornot she was rational then, ‘I am sane,” ¢the continued, ‘‘and wish to tostify.” It was finally agreed to call her to the witness stand.

And it may not be completed this week. The creditors and the present committee had a falling out last evening which will probably be the result of bringing in a new committee in the morning. The creditors complain that the presant com- mittee is not marking the goods at a high enough figure.

PEDIGREE OF THE THOROUGHBREDS, In connectlon with the sudden depar: ture of Loyal L, Smith, Kred Fuller and F. C. Mofer, it might be of interest to the readers of the Bee to give a brief pedigree of the trlo, Of course Interest, centerain Smith and hls history will be glven first, T'he son of wealthy parants, ho alwsys Lad every wish gratified and never knew what it was to labor and has lived a life of luxury and ease, As a hoy ho was regarded as a true type of *Young America’ and nothing was too rich for him. At the age of twenty-one he came into posses- sion of $22,000, lefc him by his deceased father, With thls enug litule fortune he started out upon the ocean of life. His wera trimmed, the ssa was calm and with & buoyant heart he selzed the helm of bis little bark of fortune and set ssil. Ho at onca began to speca: late and was qulie guccessful, €0 much 5o In fact,that he became Infatu ated with thelife of a gambler, or (ss more modest people call it) epecalator. He has often told the writer how he had put up lttle jobs in Boston to flsece people who thooght they were sharper than anybody else and, taking him at his word, he must have been a loud one. A few years ago ha embarked in the flour and grain business in Lowe!l, Maes , | ing for a partner a gentleman of con: erable means and {nfluence, The wily Smith manipulated the affalrs of the tirm until he got a leverage upon hls partoer, when he ralsed bim so glgh in the alr that it is doubtful if he hss got down yet. aftor s few more minor dealsin the east Smith came west to Chicago and there began to operate on the board of He was always regard # most reckless speculator and made some big deals. A few montha before coming to Omaha Smith sald to & friend of his that as soon as he had amassed $100,000 he would guit the mar- ket, zo west, buy a_ranch, stqck It and take life easy. He made a fow moro deals on the market and found himself the poseessor of £110,000. This did not satisfy him and he concluded to double it before leaying. A few woeks found his roll dwindled down to $40,000. But for- tane again smiled upon him and he scon had Increased his pile to £60,000. Then it was that the dry geods notion struck him aod he came to Omaha, bringlng with him £G0,000. After remaining here a short time he telegraphed to Montreal, Canada, for FRED, FULLER, Thi CASHIRR, Now here s a man whom the devil looks and smliles Those who have looked Into those cold, grey eyes, overshadowed by heavy overhanging brows, counld not help but excla!m *‘that man is a villlan”, Well, he s a villian and this Smith well knew when he hired him to come to Omahs, But he was just the kind of a villian needed to carty out the plans already lald by Smith, 1t will be remembered that about five years ago the cashier of the C, B. & Q. railrond company left very suddenl; tiklog withhimabout $37,000. The al scondejng athler of theChlcego Burlington Quiney road and Fred Fuller, the cashler for L. L, Smith, are one and the sime person. Faller restded 1a Montreal about three years, as the climate of the United States was not congenial to his good health. Smith had known Faller for years, and knew his man when he engaged him to help through with the scheme which has been 80 successfally carried out. The state. ment, however, that Faller was poverty stricken when he came to Omaha is not true, as ho was tolerably well *‘fixed,” having a balance o §8,000 or $10,000. F. ¢, MOIES, THE MANAGER, Frank C. Mofes, the supposed man- ager of Smith's store, was & resident of Brooklyn, and to all appearances a gentleman fn every sense of tho word. He waa re. garded as a stralght torward, honorable fellow, and 1t is generally belleved that he was drawn Into the swindling scheme through the hope of galn.

They have “raked In the pot” cashed thelr “‘chips” aud are now, in all probabllity, enjoying eolid comfort in Canada, where the stroag arm of the law of this country cannot reach them, and In perfect safety they lavgh at defrauded creditors, upon Smith's Failure Creates a Sensation in Chicago, Chicago Times, June 30th, The Times of yesterday contained a specisl telegram announcing the failure of L. L. Smith, a dry goods merchant of Omaha, who abeconded after making an assignment of his establlshment to a man named Cole, a stranger in that clty. The gentlemen referred to ls Mr. Cole, who represents the firm of Horace B. Claflin & Co., of New York. A reporter for the Times yesterday looked up some facts in regard to the fallura, L. L. Smith was formerly of Chicago. He lived for several years at the Matteson houee, where he pald his bills tegularly and was well thonght of. He was & sort of man-about-town, iadulging now and then in a *‘scalp” on the board of trage, and agaln tsking a hand n a little mining speculation, His habits were temperate. About & year sgo he struck it rich. He managed by fortunate deals on the board of trade and mining ““anaps” to clear something like $75,000. When he got this monoy together he placed $60,000 of it aa a special deposit in one of the city banks, taking a certificate therefor. Then he went to New York, visited several leading houees, and sald that he was de- slrous of starting ina fegitimate business, and that he wanted a llne of credit. He was then unsuccessful in obtalning credit there, and came back to this city, where he svisited several wholesale firms snd told the same story. He also raid that he was desirous of golng Into a general buelness in Omaha on a large scale. He made no false pretenses, but said that he intended to ran a retail establishment; that he had;$60,000 in bank as a basls for credit. Ho admltted that he had been a speculator and *‘kite-fller,” but inslsted that he would only engage In legitimate trade in the future. He brought good references, and showed certificates of de- posit. He made J, V. Farowell & Co.’s whole:ale house his headquarters, and succeeded in getling en extenslve line of credit. He started in business in Omaha about Decomber last. At first he pur- chased cautiously, He then started to advertise, and then made fpectal sales. His manner of dofng business was not euch a8 to win the confidence of some of the houses here with which he wasdeal- ing, and they held him well in check, For awhile he pald regularlyand ditcounted his bllls, About two months ago Inquirles came from New York and Philadelphia o8 to the standing of L. L. Smith, of Omaha, He bad succeeded in getting lines of credit there, acd he evidently was buying right and left, and very rgck- lewly, Every ‘*drummer” in the dry goods, notions, and upholstery trade and similar lines of goods succeeded In sell ing Smith large lines within the past few weeks at good prices and elxty days’ time In which to pay for goods. But the crash camo at last, and Smith Jeft his orstern and western craditors in the larch {0 a large amount, “*The fallare will provea grand steal,” sald a well known Chicazo merchant to the Times roporter, ‘It will be even worse than the Harwood affair, though not on go grand a scale, You will find that Smith owes more than $300,000 in all, You will find that he owes about $80,000 in Philadelphla, 40,000 in Boston, and fully $160,000 to leading New York houses. In Chicago he cer- taloly owes somewhere In the neighbor bhood of $60,000, and perhaps more, He caught the Farwells and A, B, Gage & company fora big smount, He daped Mandel Brothers, Le Baron, Holt & Co., 0. Jaffe & Piok- us, Oarson, Pirie, Scott & Co,, John H, Walker & Co., Burlock Brothere, and God knows who he didn’t catch, We didn’t like his etyle, but he never atked us to sell him, and so we wera no' caught. Hisstock he sold to Olaffin & Co. before he left Omaha, but I hardly think the eale will hold water. The Far- wells, Gage, and other creditors attached to-day. Mr, Chumasero, of the firm of J. V. Farwell & Co , said to the reporter that Smith owed the house $15,000, wichh was the lmit cf his ceedlt. Ilgl paid bis bills before they were due, and he was regacded as « falr risk, There were rumors about him a few weeka ago, and the attorney of the houss went down, but Smith made such plausible state- ments that the attorney reported him all right. When he was in Chicago about two weeks ago he did not vis!t the Far. well establishment,” He owes Masrs, James H, Walker & Co. about 81,300, Smith purchesed about £3,000 worth of goods of the house about two weeks ago, but only about $300 were shipped on, the firm refusing to send the remainder, es it became sus- pleicus. Mr., Walker said that Smith stopped buying lirgely in the west some time ago, but purchas.d {n tho east on a large scale and In cuch & way aito lead to the beliof that he did mot In. tend to remain long In busines. The amount dus to Messrs. A, S. Gage & Co. was placad at 85,000, which Mr. Gage regarded dead steal.” It was stated that Smith owes Burlock Brothers about $600, Mandel Bros. $2,000, 0. Jaffe & Pinkos about £4,000, Ls Baron, Holt & Co. $1,300. There are a number of other creditors who will ewell Smith's total Indebtedness in this olty to upwards of $60,000.

Better Not to Use It, But He Who Does Should Use a Good Quality, The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher re- cently made some remarks about the use of tobacco in Plymouth church, prehelng them with the statement that he didn’t propote to preach, but to talk to tho youvg men of his congrega- tion, His remarks were anent to the last two verszs of Firat Oorinthlans, vi.: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?’ ete, Civi- lization, said Mr. Beoecher, Is a groat waster, and it wastes that which Is most precious, the brain and nerve, and this gives rlee to & great many stimul that mep employ, 1Lt ls not without reason that men fly to opium, hasheesh, or to- bacco, anythlng that exhausts the nerse and braln force to a great-— er extent than the dally cupply is weakening, and snything that prevents such exhausting /s an economy, Stimull hold the nerve foroe from washing, whon used in mioute quantities, but have an effect directly to the reverze If used in large pusntivies, We hardly dare eay these thiogs to yourg people, for fear that they will run into excess. Nobody dares tell & young man. “If you will driok wine, these are the condltions,” It isn't in the temperauce bible. Mr, Beecher sald he had revised his early opinions in regard to the use of tehacco. He ¢ldn’t belleve anything was gained by a wholetale denunclation of tobacco, but he would urge the young men of his charge not to form the habit of uslng it, *‘I am not saying,” said he, “‘that tobacco will lead to rum, and rum to shoel, It ian't a good thing, especlally tor the young, They don’s need it. Bat if you do smoke, or if you choose to smoke later in life, I have no maledictions; but see to it that the practice shall take on as little that fs offensive as posei- ble. There is a great choice in the se- lection. Man may be justified in emok- ing, but charity hasn't got & mantle large enough to cover & man who uses bed to- bacco. Mr, Beecher spoke at length, and in a severely critical way, of the dis- sgreeable features of the use of tobacco, and urged young men to cultivate polite- ness and avoid the dnlllnfi of the moral senalbilities that often follows the use of stimulants.|
