e e e YIERSON NEVER CONFESSED. The Alleged Slager of Watson B, S8mith Pro- fessos Profound Ignorance. KNOWS NOTHING OF THE CRIME Arrested by United States Authorities Immediately on His Release— An Examination Com- menced=Briefs. (FROM THE RER'S LINCOLN BUREA.] At 10 o'clock yesterday morning War- den Nobes released from confinement in the penitentiary John Piercon, sentenced from Douglas county in 1852 to four years fmprisonment for robbery, As the nonvict, clad in citizens’ elothes, %o the door to go out a fr United States Marshal T his hand on his shoulder © a warrant for you." Atthis unexpected groeting Pierson, who had been looking forward to a day of liberty in town, blanched o little, but without making inquiry as to the natu of the offense or asking to sce the vant, said: “Well, Lsuppose I must go wwith you,” and cheerfully walked off with Hastings to the earriage where Sherift Melick's deputy was waiting to drive him 10 his new quarters in the county jail. Pierson is a man of about 30 years, of fine physique, and with a firm, but not bad looking countenance. talking with the Bek representa- tive yesterday afternoon he said his home was in Burlington, Towa, but just before arrest he had taken a job at a hotel in Omaha. The offense for which ! 18 conviet robbery of a man named Howard, at a saloon opposite the Union P lenot. Pierson stoutly asscrts that he was innocent of the crime, and never saw or heard of the man until he came running out of the saloon saying he had been robbed. Pierson was then standing in the doorway, and had a little talk with Howard about the job. The same night he was pinched by the pol and on the trial Howard swore he was the man who robbed him. Referring to his arrest by Hastings, yestc unswer to the reporter’s q “Ihave not been told what 1 for, but I suppose, of course. it i o count ot that Smith matt I anticipated trouble about it when that fuss was mode in the pape year ago. But I don’t know anything about the murder, and have nothing to tell, so they can't hold me very long."” Pierson says that his cell-mate Sutton, who claims o have extorted a confession of his knowledge of the Watson B. Smith rder from him, was a crank who was ing to toady to the warden and make the good time he could. “Why, soon aiter that batch of lics was puf lished,” continued Pierson, “Sutton was sed. His term was not out within en months, and a man can't amount of good time in the a_penitentiary for nothing. I r made any confassion to Sutton or for I had nothing to confess. anything about the affair until I was shown an extract from the i Herald referring to a story told by Anna Henry, and saying I kne the murder. 1 used to live w Henry woman, and knew George Groome k Nugent, but never had any th the Tatter.

A littlo news- puver man (Fred Nye) came down from ymaha, and had an interview with me about the alleged confession, and then went back and wrote a lot of lies and mi represented me all through, Then Wa den Nobes put me in the black hole twic ank kept me there for n week. When I asked him what he did it for he said I had been reported by the foreman of the har- ness shop for bad conduct. Iknew I had not_don nnetiling wrong, so I asked Nobes to send for the foreman and ha him state what it was, but he refused to doit. When I got out I asked the fore- man why he had reported me, and he said he had not done so. He further said, *You ought to know yourself why Nobes put you in the hole. s trying to make you tell something ubout the Smith mur- der.” That was the way they used me all along after b S A Y himselt solid with the warden. At 8 o'clock last evening Pierson was taken before United States Commissioner Bllingsly for examination, Hon, E. M. Bartlett,” of Omaha, appeared for the government, and John Caldwell, of Lin- coln, for the prisoner. When' Pierson was arraigned Mr. Caldwell made objec- tion to the proceedings, claiming that the federal courts had no jurisdiction under the reservation grant by which the United States hold title to” the postoffice property in Omaha where the alleged murder’ was committed, Mr. Bartlett contended that the only right reserved to the state of Nebraska™ under that grant was the authority of state oflicers to gerve processes on tho premises, and to illustrate the relation of state and federal foverment on this point cites the celc rated case of Althea Hill vs Senator Sharon, where the fair plaintiff, having used her revolver on a lawyer in the nited States court room, was held to answer by the federal judge. Commis: sioner Billingsly said he'was not ready to docide the question, and while he had it under consideration the examination of witnesses could ,proce The first man called was Norman A. Kuhn, the Omaha druggist, who testified to "finding the body of Watson B. Smith at the door of tho latter’s office on the night of Novem- ber 5, 1881, and deseribed minutely the condition of the corpse and its surround- ings. When the examination of Mr. Kuhn was conclud urnment was taken until 8 o'clock this morning. The alleged confession, which Pierson now so strongly denios having made, was to the eficet that J Nugent, of Omaha, had paid him $300 for killing Watson B Smith, and that his woman, Anna Hor knew all about the transaction. ‘This w afterward modified 50 us to make a man numed George Groomes the principal in u;u killing, and Picrson his sccom- lice P Nugent, it will be remembered, e ished a sivong alibi at the tim g was printed in Omal d ne ex stepped man, Deputy stings clapped nd said: *“Picr nna Henry, 50 protested that her - anything, di- reetly or indir y, about the murder, THE KAUFFMAN CASE NC At the request of the prose nesses, the information charging Kauffhan with selling mortgag: erty, was nolled in the distriet court’ yes- terday, and the defendgnt honorably dis- charged , Mr. Kauffman is & farmer, - ing aboucseven miles north of Lincoln About two years ago he bought of a man asd Eaina s A Taokaont Miohiuar e lot of sheep, giving 8 mortgagé on the shoep and their increase to secure pay: ment of a note, given as the purchase orice.

A fe ¥s ago Kennedy and his lawyer came on from Jackson, and wrote to Kauffman from the Com mercial hotel in this city, asking on what terms a settlement could be made, intimating that they were re to_drop the prosecution for a money considera- tion, Kauffman's reply was that he would not give one penny to satisfy them, as he was confident they were trying to blackmail him, and he thought he could establish it in court, This was followed by a request from Kennedy for an_inter. view, which Kauffman likewise refused The 'prosccutors then took the train 1d when well into fowa where they they could not be molested, tele \vlwd Kauffma they had con d to have th ismissed, which as done yester s Kauffman's intention if Kennedy bad not left the state so hastily to hold him to answer for malicious prosccution and sue for heavy damages FIRE AT THE PENITENTIARY About 7 o'clock last night a fire broke out in the stone building of the Western Manufacturing company at the stato senitentiary and raged for oyer an hour efore it extinguished.
