SEVENTEENTH! YEAR. OMAHA. WEDNESDAY MORNIN(;}. AUGUST 24 1887.1 ROOK CONFESSES THE CRIME, The Murderer of the Newer Brothers Ac- knowledges the Shouting. PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE SET UP. The State Rests Its Case In the Rich- ardson Trial at Loup City—The Norfolk Reunion — Nee braska News. A Plea of Self-Defense.

He was arrested ten miles southwest of eter, in Contractor McGowin’s gang. He has confessed to the killing, but claims it was donein self-defense, but gave no reason for the defense. e is lodged safely in jail at Geneva. FUNERAL OF TIE MURDERED MFN. ‘The funeral ot the murdered men, Frank and John Newer, was hela this afternoon. 1t was the larzest funeral ever held in this town, and perhaps in this county. John Newer leaves a wite well provided for, three children, a widowed mother, one brother and several sisters. Frank was a single man. The excitement is hizh here and it is possible that something may drop in Fillmore county before morning. STRONG TALK OF LYNCHING. ExeTkr, Neb, Augnst 23.—|Special Tele- gram to the Ber.|—The coroner’s jury re- turned a verdict to the effect that John and Frank Newer came to their death bv a ball fired from a pistol in the hands of one ‘Thomas Rook, with felonious intent. Word was received here that an excited mob from Friend was en route for this place and the prisoner was hurried to the county jail at Geneya. Four officers accompanied him. The direct evidence, such as finding the re- volver in his possession and the testimony of his companions, point conclusively to the fact that he is the guilty one. Excitement runs high in the Bohemian set- tlement south of here, as also in Friend, where the murdered men were held in high esteem, and it isfeared that an attempt will be made to revenge the crime in border style. ‘The aged mother and sister of the murdered men were on the zrounds ana were nearly heart-broken over the affair. ‘The bodies ‘were taken to kriend,from where the funeral will be held at 2:30 this afternoon. HELD WITHOUT BAIL, GE Neb,, August 23, —[Speclal Tele- &gram to the Beg. |—=The coroner’s jury ex- amination into the Newer shooting in the eastern part of this county Sunday evening resulted in the holding of Thomas Rook as principal and t’at Collins, John Shean, Pat MeCabe, Auzust Black and John Spooner as witneases. The sheriff found the men at the rallroad camp at the crossing of the North- western and Kansas City & Omaha railroads, Rook, who confessed to killing the Newer brothers, was found concealed in a corn field. His revolver was found covered up 1n the dirt with all the chambers loaded. 'Che prisoners were taken before tne coroner's Jury and enough facts learned to justify the holding of Rook aside from his confession made afterwards. He waived preliminary examination and was held without bail till the next session of the distriet court. The witnesses will be put under bonds for their appearance at the trial. pn Madison County Republicans.

August 23.—|New York Herald Cable—Special tothe Birr.|—The ghosts of Emmet aud O'Connell seem walking the streets and animating the populace. The city is gay with American and Irish flags. Parnell is back from Avondale, where he left his mother in better health and heard of the arrlval of his brother in anuther ship than the City of Montreal, on which he was first supposed to be. The streets have seen for the first time 1in many years English M. P’s. who have come to aid the cause of Ireland and challenge the government. They are to speak what, if spoken in England or Scotland, would be regarded as unseditious. Jacob Bright, M. P. is already here, also other British members of the commons, among whom is Cobbe, of Tom Brown's Rugby; Haldane. the Scotch orator of Had- dingtonshire, who unseated Lord Elcho Fenwick, of Northumberland, once a work- ing miner, now a Methodist preacher; South- erland, a Scotch crofter, and others less rep- resentative of the masses. Messrs.

MipNiGuT—The grand and patriotie dem- onstration is over. It seems as 1t the echoes of the plaudits and shouts still linger, echo- ing down the rotunda, concert room and pil- lar roow. Each contained a meeting. At the principal one Lord Mayor Sulli- van presided, sucrounded by ladies in brilliant toilettes, including Miss Lynch, formerly secretary of the Ladies’ Land league. The band played od Save Ire land” as the meetings assembled, but the music was at times fairly drowned by vlaudits, as favorite members of parliament entered. The lord mayor and Secretary Harrington made short addresses, An immense batch ot telegrams of sympa-~ thy from all parts of the realm were then read. Prof. Galbraith, sentor fellow of Trinity college, moved the first resolution, describing the proclamation as an invasion of consti- tutional liberty to which the peonle would not submit. John Bright followed in a pow- erfully logical speech, in which he concluded by advising ‘‘passive resistauce until—" What he said was lost as a sten- torian voice roared, *Until the time comes to fight,” Mr. Cobbe then spoke. As being the grandson, son and father of English rad- icals he evoked great enthusiasm by calling (ladstone the New Liberator to succeed O’Connell. Other English M. P.’s followed. Jdohn Dillon followed with a crushing denun- ciation, and William O’Brien, who was the last speaker, grew fiery, Among other things he said: “Itake it for granted there is no nationalist who would not despise the proc- lamation, resist it and trample upon it every hour of the day.

NEw Yonrk, August 23.—|Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The World this morning de- votes several columns to areview of the testi- mony taken in San Francisco, in the Pacific railroad Investigation, and editorially says: “An_administration which treats a recog- nized, notorious and vast scheme of bribery, such as that proved to a moral certainty to exist in the caso of the Central Pacitic rail- road, as an ordinary occurrence not worth making a fuss about, represents a greater veril to the republic than such bribery as even Jacob Sharp, Leland Santord or C. P, Huntington. Individual offenders may be met and punished, but what is to meet the callowness of the government which gives encouragement to such men and invites the money power to take control of legislation. The indifference of the administration in this matter is the worst feature of it.” e L Farmer Fatally Stabbed, Prrrsi August 23.—Thomas Dott, a farmer of Gibson, sixteen miles from here, was fatally stabbed this morning by a Ger- man farm hand who had been discharged be- cause tnere was no work for him, — Sparks From the Wire, P’resident Cleveland will visit Pniladel- phia.

TORONTO, Augzust 23.—|Speclal Telegramy to the 13 1avor Walsh, & leading cond servative ot Manitoba, has returned ta Toronto from the maritime provinces, whes he had an interview with Sir John Ma donald regarding lus disallowanco of thq Red River railway charter in Manitoba., Sig Johin said he was detormined that the disq allowance of the charter shall take effect. “Lam bound to see,” he said, *‘that thq supremacy of the federal authority is main= tained. Itis time that the provinces shoul: be taught that when her majesty’s representad tive, with the consent of her advisers, seeg fit to disallow a measuie which is derogatory to the interestsot the dominion and empire they must submit gracefully.” Mayor Walsh said: *“I'he people of Mani« toba wish to build the Red River road with their own money, and are determined not to be prevented trom so dolng. L am sure the volunteers of Ontario will not take up armg against their brothers in Manitoba.”” “I am determined,” sald Sir John, “that the construction of that road shall be stoppad and, if necessary, by British regulars, On my suggestion thesimperial government hag declded to establish a garrison at Winnipeg and troops will be sent there shortly. The idea has been met with tavor by the British government. ‘I'hey ses that Winnipez is an mportant strategic point, and that in the event of war troops can bo kept there cheaply and be transported to India or elsewhera with dispatch. ‘Their presehce here will alsg make the unruly provinees submit to federal authority.” Mayor' Walsh replied: “Our people will resist with an armed foree, and if a collision occurs, rebellion will tollow.” “'I cannot help that,” said Sir John; ‘‘we must see that the federal authority is mains tained over the provincial authority, and 1f rebellion is the result, it will not be my fault. 1t will be the fault of the Manitobians. 1 am determined to stop the construction of the Red River Vu\ll('?’ allroad if it has to be done at the point of the bavonet.” John Norquay, premier of Ma ay from Winnep be told your correspondent that he me time ago of the scheme to garrls son Winnepez with British troop: ‘1f the Canaaian Pacifie railway is to be the subside ized mail route to India,” he said, “a garr son thero would be necessary and the war of- fice hus decided { e a large garrison there immediately." “What do you think of Sir.John's threat ta op the construction of the R-d River Vale I':||1w(\¥ With British troops?”’ asked yout correspondent, “I1e can do it only at the peril of rebellion,' and that he dare not risk. 'I'ic road must b built and Sir Johin cannot stop it. Manitobs is determined to have a line to the Unite States boundary, independent of the Cana=' dian Pacific railway or the dominion’s gova ernment. An injuiction has been seryed to' prevent work, but no federal or other interq erence can stop it. ‘The Manitobians are. bound to earry the work through if they have' to resort to arms., We are |vlflfl'esiillk im- mensely with the work, and will soon have 1§ in running order, da.Tua the fron-hoeled op4 pression of Sir John Macdonald and the Cane adian Pacific railroad wmonopoly.” In conclusion, Norquay said: *1 wish the_ British regulars were in Winnipeg. They, are the men we want.
