{IOFFMAN AS AN AUTHOR. €ome of His Sentimental and Blood der Pen Production: ROGGEN AND DAWES TESTIFY Church Howe Threatens to Stop Rail- road Building Unless the Labor ers Vote for Him—Suicid News, ora Wionged Girl IFROM THE DER'S LINC LY BUNRAL] Hoffman-Rosewater libel snit was e a 1 m in the distr terday, th 1 t conrt yes forenoon sess beir 1 the Dawe of estim the pro of Hoffman P, Roggen Hoffman oc | som amination from vas not much weight. Hoffman evin forgetful mind, even bringing his own L question of doubt, and was not e within a year or =o of his ownage or how long he bad tived in - Mendota, 111, and very ignorant asto the money he had made in previons years through hit crary efforts, which the examin; ‘med to develop into his pation. Judge Mason, in amination of this witness, developed the fact that Hotfman had written many tales of light literature fictions for the New York Clipper and other journals of like literary merit. When the witness was called upon to recite the titles of some of the stories written by him and the compensation 1 d the titles of tales among others the fol lowing: “A rible Secret,” ‘“The Lover's Revenge,” “A Midnight Adves ture,” he Mystery of the Mounds Shureh of Skulls,” “‘Parson Pardon,” ete. For those stories Mr Hoffman testified that he received from £5 to #10 each as compensation, and the defense developed in this a point of the plaintift’s ability to earn moncy. who was now asking for $30,000. Mr, Hoffman further testified that hissalary in his pres ent occupation a vate tary to the governor was greater than h heretofor ror Dawes' testimony w for cvidently to establish th mind in which the plainti he testified that Mr. Hoffman h to him and spoke with him_concerning the publication of the alleged libel shortly after its appearance. That he believed Mr. Hoffman’s denial and had not inves tigated for mimself. The defense here created new interest by asking the gov ernor1f Mr. Hoffman was not aware of the to-be-attempted robbery of the state treasury before it came to pass and which attempt brought forth the alleged libel- ous arucle. The governor testitied that Hoffman was ignorant of the raid that was to be attempted, but being asked it he did not state in bis deposition taken heretofore that Hoflman aid know of it in advanece, the governor stated the de- position was corrcet. Secretary Roggen's testimony was re- rarding the conversation had” between fnm.‘wl and Mr. Rosewater on two dif- ferent occasions, Mr. Roggen stating that several weeks prior to the publica- tion Mr. Rosewater had stated to him that he had been informed by a reput ble citizen of Lincoln regarding Hoft- an's character, but did not want to publish 1t simply for malice. In the afternoon the defense took the stand and Mr, Rosewater was called. His testimony was given at length, show- ing that he had been in possession of the fucts and the charges against Hoffman three or four months before their publi- wion; that he obtained them from Mr. Barnes in December and withheld the use of them until March, when the scheme botween the detectives for the robbing of the treasury was developed by tho coroner’s jury, showing that the gov- ernor and his sccretary knew about it in advance. Then he thought that it was due the people to know the record of Hoffman and he published it. At the time of its publication the witness stated that, to be certain of the facts, he visited Mr. Barnes in company with Major Klintch and veri- fied all that was published; that he thought man aceused of horse stealing and whom it had been stated, was n proposer to burglarize a bank, might have a hund in the jol the state treasury. Mr. Rose- water testified as to withholding the facts for so long, not wishing to have it appear a3 malice, it it became neces- sary to publish, The imony of L. F. Barnes, the principal witne for the defense, was then had, and he lated all the eircumstances.of the Hol man affair. He equipped him with a horso and saddle, bought him overshoes and gloves and furnished him with $30 sh, and Hoffy started forth. A few days after Mr. Barnes related that Deputy Sheriff Evans, of Firth, came to him and told him that Hoffman was t ing to sell the horse for $40; that he then tructed Evans to follow him up and scover the horse if possible. Shortly after this timo Mr. Burnes testitied that hoe met Mr. Hedges, who bad come up to Lin- coln through Missoqri; that Hedges told him he had met Hoffnan down near Springfield, Mo., and that he thought he was not to be relied upon, as he (Hoft- man) had proposed to him'a job of burg- lanizing some country bank. "Mr. Barnes said that he heard of Hoffu arrest; had a telegram to that effect; sent word back for his release; that afterward Hoff- man returned to Lincoln obut ad not bring the horse with him; told him that it was the first time he had got into such t-ouble, eried and wanted a settlement; afterward hesettled with Hoffman for $112; that Hoffman insisted and. he (Barnes) did sign & puaper agreoing not Lo prosc cute him for taking the horse; had never soen the horse since and did not know what had become of it. At the close of court at night Mr, Barnes was still oceupying the stand. HOWE HEARD FROM, The State Journal yesterday contained another characterisiic ~dispatch from Church Howe, who held forth at Ne- brasks City the night before and who portrayed un audience of 1,000 people and tremendous enthusiasm for Howe. A gentleman who came up from Ne- braska City and who attended the mon ster meeting states that it took a brass band an hour to drum up 200 for an audi- ence; that Howe, as usual, harangu aguinst the BEE, about MeShane und b cattle interests, and whea the time came for him to explain his own checkered career and the charges that have been published week after week against him, ie plead n loss of voioe and begged leave to introduce Mr. Shedd, aodging his variegated record in c\.-gx\n& shape. Howe has heen seeing some of the Mis- souri Pacific construction and grading contractors IA(MF in a struggling effort to capture the solid vote of the workmen, and when one of them told him that his mien yoted as they pleased, Howe braced up and told the contractor that not & wile of railroad would be lot for them to work upon next year if he was defeated, and that not another shovelful of dirt would be thrown upon the new construe- tion work of the Missouri Pacific if they didn’t come to time, The reply of the contractor to this exhibition of bragga- docio was more emphatic than elegant, and the more emphatic words in it could not be found in the new revision.

The skin was taken to Charles Burkhalter's tannery at noon. By even ing of the sume day Mr. Burkhalter had it all tauned and promply handed it to a shoemaker. By next morning a pair of Dboots was completed and put_on by the owner, so that what was on living flesh of a calf one day was a pair of boots the next. 1t was, without doubt, the quick- est tanning on record.

Both Orange and Sullivan counties comprising the district were at that time strongly demo- cratic and while the democratic state ticket had over 1,200 majority in two counties, General Van Wycek succeeded by the same numoer. The bitterness of the politieal hate cul- minated in the Lincoln campaign of 1560 when General Van Wyck was a candi for re-election. The democratic party wisely concluded to venture none of its chosen champions in the race agans L, but selected one of the most popu meiin tho district—on bf tho'solid mon of the old whig party and known us n “silver gray’’ whig—the Hon. Daniel B, St. Johi. The campaign wa: rnest, General Van Wyek re the distriet more votes than Lincoln, In this congress came the war, Dur. ing the long term of 1861 some member: desired to zo to the battle of Bull Run, few miles from the capital, General Van Wyck said to b zue, r. I3ly, of the Rochester district, “'Our let us do that and then go and recruit a regiment and come with them to the field.” Ely went to the Bull Run pattle field and_was one of the ptured congressmen. Van Wyek did id. Al the end of the session he came home. Defeat had dispirited our people, enlistments were slow, and_dem- sratic orators and papers were elaiming rebels could never be defeated. Van Wyck took up the drooping ard, unfurled it and commenced ng the Fitty-sixth rogiment, known ic Tenth Legion,” that being then the number of this congressional district. ‘Lhe regiment had ten infantry com nies, one of rp shooter: tt, and two cavalry companies—a legion in aet s well as in name. He rallied the spirits of the people and filled them wit! hope and courage. Some democr labored hard to prevent and defeat en listments. They everywhere insisted that Van Wyck would raise the regiment, take it to the field, then leave it and turn the command over to anoth They claimed the finances of the nation would be rumed, that our money would become worthlesss, that when the war ended it would be as it was at the end of the war olution with the continental currency—that a bushel of currency would 1ot buy a bushel of white beans We well remember how Gene Wyek dispelled both these charges. e wold the wives and mothers as they gave up their husband or first born, t hie would not only go, but would si with them in camp and on the field until the country was destroyed or the flag floated again in victory.” And he kept the promise to the lettér. In answer to the other charge he boldly stated every- where, *'If the country is to be destroyed let the finances go with it; if the country was saved the American people would sce to it and save its currency. If I was compelled to outlive his country, and money would be of very little yalue." And he stated in all his speeches and on every street corner that he would trust his country and his that he would take command of the regiment, go with it to the field and stay with it to the end; that he would not take a dollar for his services or any reimbursement for his expenses until either the union was dis- rupted and money destroyed with it, or until peace came and the union was re- stored, and then he would take the pay to which he was entitled, and if the dem- ocrats were right he would take his pay n rags no better than the old continental currency. And this promise he kept to the letter. Witn the oxception of Company D-~the Warwick company—he utavuncud the money to transport from Orange, Sulli- van and Delaware counties, bx rail and stige, fourteen companies to headquar- ters at Newburg, aud that money has not yet been repaid, He went with them to the field, stayed until victory esme and the Union was restored—over four years—remained on duty some timein South Carolina after peéace came, and was mustered out.
