GLOOMY ~ GLORIFICATION, Attornoy Burr Devouring De-d Sea Fruit, and Lamenting His Frenchy Ambition. THE REGISTER OF DEEDS. The Supreme Conrt Decides Against the kxiste Such an Ofice—Gther Lis . coln News. L. C, Burr from Kear 4 the oned him A Brg reporter called on yesterday on his return ney. He satin his oflice and porter approached him he be to a chair, In reply to the question how he had boen reccived at Kearney, he said th thore was no excitement far as he could judge. He got in Kearnoy Tues- day night at 6 o'clock and loft the morning early. Hewent before a j of the peace and gave the hond of $1,000, roquired of him, it being furnished upon the eredentials of his brother C. C. Burr, and John R. Clark of the First National bank. Mr. Burr looks careworn. His usual jaunty and self-conscious has deserted him, and he doubtless fuels that ho has made a move which will cost him rather dear. Ho appears to feel vory bit- ter against the attorney-general, and de- nies that he ¢ threatened to injure in any manner that official. Burr said that the Zimmerman case was entirely a charity one, and that he took it at the solicitation of Warden Nobes, of the pen- itentiary, and some others who had in- prested themselves in Zimmerman's be- According to his statement, Bu ver received any money to speak of out of the ecase, but has run it entirely for glory. He 13 now that the glory which shes to his namo is of n rather negativo character, but he will not admit it. e said that Deputy United States Marshal Hastings went him to Kearney, but that he was not informed of the purioso of the: trip until after they had left Hastin where pas- sengers for Kearney change ears. 1t v over agame of o s Mr. Burr fivst enlightened Mr. Hastingsas to tho work which would be required of him when the train reached Kearney. Thero is no reco; i r. Hastings intg 0 objoetion to the proceedings, but, 1i lamb, he obeyed the behests of the attor Burr denies that Saville, the com- foner, was drunk when the procecd- ings wers had, while Hastings declaves directly the contrary., Burr believes in putting a good on the mutter and he takes the inj innocense dodge to make people believe that ho was only working enthusiastical- ly for his client under the laws of thi United States. When asked about the bond of £5,000, which was_wiven, he rather hi ed, and then said that Zimmerman, brother to the criminal, had sworn that he owned property to the of #3,000, over in Wyoming. It s nranch, Mr. Bur e tio s he could not make definite He belicved that it v 1t the head of some creck, and that the water right was the prin value which attached to the promises. There were horses and enttle on the ranch, but Mr. Burr did not know how many. The location is nowhere n the' ranch owned by Judge Dundy, and so far _as could be discovered from M Bure's conversation there was a vigueness and delicions uncertainty about the location of Zwunmorman s property in Wyoming which if anything makesitmore valuahlo in the eyes of acredulous public. The water right is the principal value, but th creek’s name is not known. It is thought that it is the Wyoming branch of Salt preck. The fact s ths us worthless even if Zimmerman's brother did own property in Wyoming, which there is no reason to believe he does, for under the law the seeurity has got to be in the county where the bond s taken, and further, the crime of murder is not bailable in Nebr or the United States, consequently any bond given even by responsible parties would be absolutely void and no recovery could be had on it, THE COUNTY RES N In the supreme court yesterday morn- ing the court denied the writ of manda- mus in the ease of the stato ex rel Hoff'vs J.
