OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 24, 1886 SOME COUNTER AFFIDAVITS Which Have Been Filed By Mr. Foss, to Wipe Ont Reflections Upon His Moral Oharacter. A LOYAL L. SMITH ROMANCE. A Woman in the Case as Usual-She s a Beauty From Bean-Eating Boston—Matters Being Ar- ranged &0 Smith Can Marry Her, TFIOM THE BEE'S LINCOLY BUREAT.] Late Saturday evening Mr. Fayette I, Foss, of Crete, the attorney for the de fendant in the somewhat sensati voree case of Thomas vs Laura Powers, filed a package ef sixty-eight depositions with the clerk of the supreme court, all bearing on the ride to Denver last Octo- ber which, thanks to the energetie repor- ters, has become almost as famous in this state as the celebrated horscback journcy once made by Phil Sheridan. On 2 hearing of the case on a as corpns proceedings for the custody of the boy Sammy, the attorney for the plaintift it will be remembered, charged in court that Mrs, Powers and her lawyer had beena little careless in their conduct dur- ing the visit to Denver, where they went 10 Becure n depositions. Mr. Foss was on h the accusation, and demanding, as Mrs Powers had three lawy hiruself, Gov rnor Daw id Mr. Stevens, that as matter of charge ‘should be made more ply to this the vits from i in Denvyer in- timating that Foss was the man, and that while at' the Windsor hotel he_had been a little too free in the use of Mrs. Pow- ers’ room, and on leaving had sneaked out by a side entrance, first paying cer tain employes ot the house to Keep’ quict about what they had scen. 1§ The affidavits now filed by Mr. Foss are 1 answer to t charges, and seem to dispose of them effectually Mrs. Powers testifies that she went to Denver with Mr. Foss at the time stated, on her husband’s notico that he wanted to ot deposition from Dr. Sherlock. Mr. Pow- ers was on the train, and his conduct 18 50 violent that sh as afraid he would do her bodily injury, and at her suggestion Mr. Foss oceupied the berth over her's. At the hotel Powers' dogged her so that she had her room changed so as to be near to Mr. and Mr rere, and when leaving the house. on finding that Powers was watching for her at the ele- r, she went out by the side entrance Mr. Foss, she says, was never in_her room, except when Mr. and Mrs. Ger: De or of the sleeping car came to him and said Powers had told all about his domestic trouble, and insisted on buying the berth over Mrs. Powers which the conductor would not permit. Powers, 1n his conversation with the con- ductor, snid the e ad already cost him $4,6C0, and that he hud $20,000 more to spend. ' Ho seomed to bo. patt larly incensed at Foss, and made threats then that he would shoot his d—d head of The conductos, thinking there might be trouble during the night, warned the porter to keep a close watch on Powers and give an alarm st the first demonstr. tion.

Foss, lie says, only paid him §1 for the trip, and did notsay anything about keep- ing his mouth shut. homas Powers, the hulHu)X. who tes- tified for Powers, that Foss had paid him well for piloting them down the s stairs and other services, also goes ba tho wholo thing tnd says ho was impose on by the notary public who drew it.

Boyle and Joseph Clemen, employes at the house, and a large num- ber of guosts, testify in a general way to the gnod behavior of the defendant and her attorney, and the entire absence of anything lizu suspicious circumstances. WHY SMITH MADE HIS CONFESSION, ‘The confession of Loyal L. Smith as to his dealings with Haiman Lowy brings to mind a fresh romance connected with the affair that has, perbaps, as much to do with inducing the gentleman whose departure Omahans mourn, to_tell the inside history of that Saturday nightdeal, as Lowy's failure to pay the $10,000 note. Mr. Rhodes, of Chicago, the financial agent of A. 8. Gage & it was, who at the close of the memorable triad in this city in March last, > the thread of this romance to the BEg man, and vouched for the facts. Smith, he s; had, before coming to Omaha, been intimate with a handsome wowan n Boston, a fallen duughter one of the ‘best of the Puritan families. For awhile she was noted at the Hub as one of the most beautiful and abandoned of the many women who lead profligate lives there. She in turn became infatuated with the foxy Smith, and on hisgpromise to marry her ngruu-\ to givo up her evil ways and reform, & move i which her family assisted. ~ Before the time set for the marriage Smith made his famous deal, and found it healthy to go to Can- ada. Since then the relatives of his in- tended bride, people of large means, have been trying to arrange matters so that he can ‘come back to the United States and go into business. The feeler that was put out by. a firm of Canadian lawyers last fall, in"a letter to Groff & Montgomery, of Omaha, askingon what basis Smith’s debts could be compro- mised, was undoubtedly instigated by them. The creditors at that time were still warm at the maoner in which they were treated, and refused to negotiate. That they have taken a difitrent tack now is owing firobably to the fact that thev had to make a good showing on the motion for a new trial, and so decided to play the big trump card. They had an- other big surprise in store, and ong which would have made some people weak about the knees, but the case was too im- portant an one to take any chances on, and the consulting attorneys wisely re- solved.to show down their whole hand. When matters ffare put in proper shape furiished by ienry Bryant, a ot in an_instant, repelling ¢ Smith will be allowed to visit the United States without molestation, and a_mar- ringe in the far east will more than likely be onie of the first events of his reintro- duction to American socie! K11, TRICK'S ESCAPE FROM RIOTERS, Captain Pinneo, chief of the B. & M detec returned yesterday from Superiot, Nuckolls county, where he has in jail five tramps, who, one night Iast week, walked off with a trunk of cut lery samples from the depot platform The trunk was in charge of Louis Horn, a trayelling esman for Hibbard & Spencer, of Chicago, who had left it on the platform while he was waiting the hotel for the arrival of the train. Pinneo and his men tracked the thieves down into Kansas and corralled the whole gang as they were dividing the plunder. They were faken back to Superior, where Cap- tain Pinneo went early Satirday morn- ing to look after them. Arriving there, he found the little town in an uproar over the seizure of Mr. George Kilpat- rick, by riotous railroad la- borers, who were threatening to hang him unless he paid another man’s debts. Kilpatrick Brothers have a contract for building the B. & M. branch between Superior and Nelson, which they have sub-let to other contractors in the usnal manner. Going down to Superior iday, Mr. Kilpatrick found the men very much excited and angry because the sub-contractor on that section had not paid them for last month’s work. oing among them to talk the matter over, Mr, KiIH\:\ll ck was seized by a gang of 13 of the most turbulent spirits, who put him under guard, and told him that if their pay was not forthcoming by Saturday night they would hang him to a couple of wagon poles which, as an evidence of good faith, they had rigged up in front of e shanty where the prisoner was held Kilpatrick was thus held in - durance until nearly noon 8 wi p- tain Pinneo and the m-kul‘k county, having drummed up n posse of sixty men, armed with shotguns and rifles, marehed down to the camp and demanded his immediate release, giv ing the ringleaders of the gang to unde stand that if refused they would open fi /i s woing on Kilpatri managed to get out of the shanty and cape to the protection of the sheriff, the desperadoes not daring to lay hands on him while confronted by the armed yosse. In explaining the men’s demands Ir.

During the administration of Jackson one of the diplomats, a man named Paqueot, who afterwards represented the French government in this country, was married in the white house to the danghter of Andrew Jacksen’s close friend, Major Lewis, of Nashville, and Jackson’s niece was married during this administration to a Mr. Polk, of Tennes ng of the White Tyler's administration his daughter was married to a Virginian named Waller, and during Grant's term his ughter Nellie was united with Sartoris, an English gentleman.

A short time ago they sent Captai Lee, Arapahoe agen k. Lee wired once that if they insisted on placing the clerk on duty he would request to be re- lieved and sent back to his regiment. The Indian office backed down. Why did they not insist? I see your special of the 18th stated t Atkins says Clerk Brown was is charged for the reason that he applicd tor a license to trade.

DANIEL BROWN. ar PiNe RipGe Acency, Dak., April 27, 1886, —~Hon. J. D. C. Atkins, Commis- stoner of Indian Affairs—Si I have the honor to address the following in connee: tion with your letter of the 21st inst. and my telegram of the 27th inst. in relation to the appointment of a clerk by your office for this agency. The present incumbent, Mr. Brown, has been 1n this ageney's employ for five years in different grades, and is experi- enced in every branch of the service, and has in addition what so many elerks | ient executive and administrative ability, much more in fact than many of your Indian agents, and could to-duy dis- count In:\n() of them in handiing an agency, and in addition has always beer o consistent democrat, and not of the stripe of many who held positions under the old administration and have at a late f s a quastion of bread and butter, the error of their ways and turned democrat. If to di such a man withovt charges is in the line of the much vaunted civil service reform, then such reform is truly a farce and I would protest against being & party to 1f, as I understand it, the avowed in- watlon of your offico in uppointing agents’ clerks is to have them act us spies over the agents, then I must con- gratulate the Indian service on its agents and clerks in the fuiure, for an agent that will suffer such an imposition will be either a man so incapable of making & living as to fear to trust himself in or- dinary business on his own account or one who is making enough money irreg- ularly out of lus position o compensate for his loss of self-respect, and comment on a clerk who would accépt such a posi- tion is entirely unnecessary. would ~ invite your attention to the fact that " mone of the agents, sugurlora, commissioner or sec- retary,are bonded,neither are the agents’ subordinates, clerk appointed by you, ete, The agent alne is bonded for the faith- ful performance of his duty, and the proper care, issue of the property, and disbursement of the funds that come into his hands by virtue of his position, and under no umstances can it be other- wise than unbusiness-like and unoflicial for _Imu' oflice to attempt to appoint the clerk for that agent and force the agent to turn the care of the property and funds for which he is l'l'hpnnsi\)lc over to ) unbonded clerk, a stranger to the nt, “Under no office or department of the government is such a policy known of, and justice to my bondsmen ‘and self will not permit it in’ my case; my hondsmen vouch for me, and not for an unknown and irresponsible clerk of some one else’s selection.
