WHOSE WAS THE BLAME? The Coroner Has Grappled this Im- portant Question. TESTIMONY AT THE Bome Conflict of Opinion As to the ness of the Col- Several Wit amined. Former Sound lapsed Wal! nesses The Inquest Begun., Qoroner Drexel and his Jury, consisting of Messrs. Jim Stephenson, Henry Gibson, n Paumer, A. R. Fenwick, Nat Brown and George Guy, after viewing the poor mu tilated remains of the vietims of Monday's fatality in the falling of the Max Moyer building, repaired to the council chamber, and, with a determination to get at all the facts connected with disaster, commenced and vigorously condueted the vaking of tes A number of witnesses ha summoned to appear before the inguisition L. A. Welsh, in charge of the United tes signal station, was the 1, and he referred to the original wind of Moudiy and that botween the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock the locity attained was forty and that the wind biew at five minutes, from 11:55 to that there was a higher wind at 3:33, in the afternoon, when the maximum rate was reached; that in the language of the signal service the wind was a hurricane, The wit- ness furth ted that the gusty character of the hurricane rendered it more capable of 1n its course. CHIEF GALLIGAN, at 1:55 Monday, heard the alarm at engine house No. 1, and on coming around the cor- ner of Tenth and Farnam strects, saw that the Max Meyer building had tumbled in on the buildings east of it. He received in formation that cight ¢ e people W under the ruins. This genticnan had! iarge of the rescuing party which took the & men from the wreck on a ludder placed iv Aarnam street. Anothier man was holped out at a point six feet from tho front of the building occupied by Boyer. Thon Mrs Elizabeth Hengen was removed and after that lndy, Olson, Martin and the fireman, who was lying crushed to death under th hoiler, were tiken out of the debris, Oison was _located the northeast corner of the wooden building, about six fect in, flattened out by the timbers that were lying over him, "The next dead man discovered was Mitehell within two or three feet of where the fi man had been, near the sate, kis heei= L < Sl a8 Anu aout of Mo Syl Lom. bard was found dead elongside of Mitehell, and Boyer's lifeless form was pulled froni ¥ plutiorm. i examination of the shortly after the fire, by the chief, show that the conflagration was most se around the clevator and that the cast foi four feetof Max Meyer's huilding, nexttot buildings that were crushed, had no partition wall only in the rear part of the second story where there was a wood partition, and that the top story was free. The second story joists werc not burned, but those of the third were so that from the second Hoor to the top of the fire wall, on the cast wall, there was a piece of wall about twenty-two feet ligh without support. Pressed by the question the witness did not feel like usserting positively that the walls had been weakened by the fire, but he would say that, iuasmuch as no bulging of the walls had appeared after the fire, he had considered the walls to be safe; that the only weak spot he had picked out was at the southeast corner where the cornice was loose. 'T'he witness was of the opinion that the persons who had suffered fatalities came to their death by the falling of a portion of the east wall, and that, falling back upon his experience in buildings that had been burned out as this one had been, that the fall of the wall had been lurgely contributed to by the portion of the roof that had been attached to the east wall, and which had probably been raised uv by the wind accum- ulated underneath it in such a way as to force the wall over, Juror Jimes Stephenson at this point put a number of questions to the witness, who was oneof the building committee, which re- vealed it to ve the duty of the chief n case he entertained doubt of the safety of the building, to notify Building Inspector Whit. lock, and the witness stated thatif he had had such an opinion he would have called the attention of the building inspector to the matter, but that such had not been the case, he chief could not aflirm, with his limited knowledge of the subject, that additional force had been allowed the wind against the roof attached to the east wall through failure to board up the windows on the west and north sides of the building. The witness was asked if he thought it strange, in view of the fact that the front part of the building was braced by unimpaired partitions which the fire had not reached and that the wind had an uninterrupted course through the windows on Eleventh strect to the east wall, that the fall had occurred as it did, ana ex- pressed himself as haying been surprised at finding the eust wall down, as the first idea he had when he ascertained that the build- ing was down, was that the portion about the cornice on Farnam str was involved BUILDING INSPECTOR WIITLOCK stepped to the stand and stated that it was his business to look after buiidings that had been injured by fire or other casualty; th immediately after the fire in the Max Meyer building ho bud made a survey of the prem- ises from the cellar to the roof, and found the walls and partitions in good 'shape, with the exception of the south wall, which ho was afruid of and the piers of which seemed to hung out. The fire started around the olevator, and in the east forty-four feet of the structure the joists were not much im; paired. “Monday morning at 11 o'clock,’ said the witness, I was in the third story and weat through an opening in the division wall and looked at the front piers to see if there was any more cracking. 1 had been in the building probably six or seven times from the occurrence of the fire to that time, I walked along by that portion of the wall that has gone out. There was not a third of the thirdatloor burned out, und the section that fell was north of the center of the east wall. I should think that it, from the second floor to the top of the fire wall on the east side of the building is in the neighborhood of twenty-five feet. In this building there was not much fire along tho wall that fell, and the dumage was not more than 2 per cent. 1 dida't consider that there was more thun fifteen foet of the wall unsupported, There was a space burned woross the building southeast, [ didn't take a note of how much. There was twen- 8y-tive or thirty feet burned out north of the eentor of the building. Thore was sixty fect of firo wall on the Boyer building to brace tho wall that fell, and if [ had not thought the wall safe [ would have taken steps to mvert the catastrophe. I met Meyer the worning after the fire at Harney and Twen- ty-fourtn and rode down with him, He spoke of adding u story to the building, and, atter- wards, Ithink it was on the 30th of the month, Learing that they iwere get- tivg up plans for auother story, I wrote to ndelssohn & Lowrie the architects that I did not think it advisa- ble or safo to put on another story and re- ceived an answer stating that My, Mendels- sohn was out of the city and that brokoe off the matter. Tho joists in the first, second and third stories were intact with the excep- tion of a piece that was burned out diagon- ally across the buiiding from the clevitor hatchway toward the east, but the roof joists were nearly burned off. This burned ‘strip was north of the center of the fallen section. I took inte consideration the winds dinarily prevail in this part of the The roof 1;;:#!! were anchored and all girders and posts about the building Peared to be in good shupe.” The building inspector furnished a copy of the building ordinance approved July 9, 1583, and out of it was read scction 28, which is as follows: ‘“Whenover, in the opin- fon of the superintendent of buildings, any wall or other nortion of a burned building is crous, or when any building sball be deemed unsafe for the purpose for which it 18 used, or shall be in danger of beiug set on fire trom any defect in the copstruetion, the superintendont sha:l notify the owner or his agent, in writing, specifying whercin such danger consists, or wherein such building is unsife or defecti: 1f the owner or his ent neglects or refuscs, after the serving of such potice, to immediately put the build eg ia safe condition, or furtiwith puil down been stated hour, an that rat: r s wrecking obst burned buildi the ap- INQUEST. | first person | THE OMAHA DAILY or seaure such burned huilding, h of not fess than cach and every da wall or dangerous parts of v shall be subject to & fine & nor more than $50 for such violation shall con - rquestad the twitness to state if he had not noticed that the wind, instead of blowing the dust in the streets from ono side to the other, as it ordinarily did, wairled light surface accumulations in little spirals upward so wantonly as to dis. close ite great destructivenes, Mr. Whitlock was at home at the t the fatality but from his observations while out of doors opined that Monday's gusts were as_severa As any that ever visited this part of Nebraska. The inference might ba that a poction of the roof attached to the section of fthe wall that was blown over be ing raised by the wind helped to overbalance the cast wall, 1t was not the inva ble rule the construction of buildings to close un the windows and doors as a protection to walls, but there were closed iron shutters on the alley side of the building and his recol lection was that most of the giass on the Eieventh street elevation was in position Jim Stephenson wanted to know if it was r tin the city government to kill people after the fashion they wera sluughtered on Monday. and said that as far a8 he could sce everybody was trying to squirm out of the responsibility ; that somebody was at fault and the jury was going to run him down, and if the building was not secure Mr Meyer should have been notitied to wake the loeality safe. 10 this the witness responded that even if he had conde 4 the wall insurance experts would have discounten anced his action, SWell,” said Mr, Stephenson, “‘there 1 no donbt that those six persons were killed by the falling of that wall, and no matte whether ti aponsibility rests at the door of the building committ anybody door, censure will be made.” The inspector was willing to shoulder portion of the blume. “You will have to if rejoined the liveryman, Saulsberry, builder, had been an ap praiser of the fire dumage and had examined the wool In the northeast corner some joists The place burned out was north of th» center, and 1510 2) fect of joists were burned out on the third story next to the east wall.

He did not see any nceessity for condemniug the wall at the tine he made his examination D. L. Shane, a builder who made un ex- amination of the walls for the insurance comn panies, testifled that a part of the wal on Farnam and Eleventh strects should have come down an@ also a part of the north and east walls. The roof was burned so as to fall on the floor in the rear. He figured that $50 would 1epair the east wall. Two chim- 5 there leanca ont from the wall, but the s plumb. These chimneys had fa with the wall. e should tuink there was a quarter of an inch crack at the chimney: Ho would consider the east wall at the time he examined it, without being bound by joists and roof, unsafe. e thought it was risky to let the building stand s it wa He said that Mr. Meyer had seen him in relation to fixing the loose picces connected with the building and that if he had been satistied of auything seriously danzerous attaching to leaving the building in the condition in which it was left he would most likeiy have notificd Mr. Meyer at that time. R. E. Livesey, a contractor and build had examined the building, and_particul the outside of the east wall, the day the fire, and found fifteen or_twenty Teet o the third floor burned out. He had been at the chimney, but did not notice any crack such as Lad been spoken of. He did not coasider that there was danger in leaving the east wall as it was left. He was a brick man who always noticed the condition of brick wulls after a fire, to see how they stood the fire and the playing of the water on them, and he had failed to observe that this wall had been much affected. Max Meyer stated that at 5 o'clock the morning after the fire he had looked at his building in compauy with Mr. Mendelssohn, who examined it and said that the walls were safe. He had also looked at the structure with Whitlock and had told Whitloek that he wanted to make settlement with the insurance compa- nies. The only notification he had had of there being any danger in the building was a telephone message that the cornice was com ing down and he had it fixed in ten minutes, That crooked chimney referred to was still standing. The insurance examiners said that the building was not much damaged. Atthe time of the examination there was roof in front and in the rear of the east wall and it lay on the floor so as to be a protection to the wall, a sort of anchor. In regard to putting an oxtra story on the building, it was the west wall that was referred to as con- fiicting with some building regulation. Moritz Meyer testitied as to the finding of Daniels, who it is expected will give testi- oney to the offect that a boiler cxplosion in the building occupied by Boyer brought on the catastrophi The coroner announced the adjournment of the exumination of witnesses until 10 o'clockthis morning, and in company with the jury made an inspection of the scene of the catastrophe. B AFTER THE HORROR, The Ruins, the Injured Unfortunate V Yosterday the cold wave continued to roli over the city, but it was not sufliciently cold to deter pcople from gathering around the ruins of the ill-fated Meyer building. The unsightly pile was even more tossed and torn than it was as dusk settled over it last night. Workmen bad been at work in the dobris since early morning and removed a great deal of the destroyed stock, propping up the west wall of the old rookery with sup- ports which scemed none of the strongest. Nothing was done to the debris in Boyer's store which still lay upon the safes which occupied the first floor. The latter were fouud to be in excellent condition, having n:lil!'rx'ml little if anything in the catastro- phe. D. C. Dunbar was around at an with a force of wmen looking apps diamonds in the heterogeneous wass in which bis property had disappeared. But he could find nothing. His loss is almost complcte. ‘I'he safety line urly hour rently for was removed from the street 0 that vassage by velicles was un- impeded. ‘The line, however, was stretched to prevent pedestriuns frow coming in too close proximity with the disfigured struc- tures.

Livcors BUREAU oF Tae OMArmd Bas, } THE NORFOLK TRAGRDY. The horrors of the Norfolk asylum tragedy have never been told. Carl Korth, treasurer of I county, was in the city to-day, and while here he told the story of * the affair to Tix Bee representative as he had it from the lips of Mrs. Hartman, a sisterof Rev, >ankow, pastor of the Lutheran church of that place, and _who was with the girl when she closed her eyes in death. It scems that | when the hour came for the operation, for the alleged purpose of removing a tumor, there were present Dr. Kelly, his two as! sistants, Mrs. Hartwan and another lady whose name had escaped the memory of Mr. Korth, Prior, however, to this time, Carrio Soudier, the victim, called upon Dr. Tashjean, who diaimosed her’ case and gave her a tro statement of her condition, 'This she r fused to believe, for reasons that will soon appear, although two Omaha physicians had told her the same thing. The girl's confidence o Kelly scemed to be supreme, As she put it, in her German way, “Dr, Kelly toldt me it vas not so, and I never know any man in dot wren 10 $he pridst, hev intlier ¢ she was a Catholic, but he in_a way Draided her and she Sought spivitual ance of Rev.

The order for them to g peremptory, and when they were bermit to return the attenaing “physiciuns cooll announced to them that the tumor had be removed. But the race of life of Carric Soudier was done. Mrs. Hartmen demanded the right to see the tumor, but it was denied her, and although she persisted, having had her suspicions aroused, her appeal was a yaun one. She wént her way far from satisfied, but when the'colored cook, since discharged from serviceat the asylum, told his suspic- ions of the cause of the death of the girl, his story was strengthened by the word of the lady, and the body, after laying in the gi seve days, was exhumed and the true status of the affair came properly to the attention of the public. arrie Soudier was an employe of the asy- lum nearly ' ten months before her death. She went there an unsophisticated country girl, only to be ruined by a fiend in human shape, and by means 8o abhorent that the blood curdles at its relation. “It is openly alleged,” said Treasurer Korth, ‘‘that the girl was ruined during the temporary ab- sence of the villain’s wife by using chloro- form, and ne sought to cover up his crime by the means employed, and how nearly he camo | to succeeding the public already knows. Th German people of Norfolk and vicinity ar wild with indignation. The girl was as in- nocent as a child, and her frequent protesta- tions that her condition was unknown to her, are very generally believed. I can say that | 1o one douts them who was acquainted with her and the circumstances of the crime.” As the pubhic knows, Kelly has been ar- rested on the charge of having murdered th girl, but he waived examination and bondls inthe sum of $,000 to appear answer at the noxt term of the district court in Madison county.

For a day or two past the talk hes been somewhat loud in Capital city circles that the governor would be called upon to sign or veto the dual submission bill. This talk, it is understood, is due to the form in which the amendment bill passed the legislature, Ia | reference to the matter the governor said this morning: I understand that it is stated in certain quarters that I will veto the submission bill. Wioever says this dces so without warrant, 1 have never expressed myself regarding the matter in any way, nor will I now. You can say this, however, that I do not expect to have the privilege to sign or veto the bill, for if 1 remember rightly the supreme court set- tled that question during the canvass last fall. McShane and his following rged that I would favor prohibition, and that if called upon to sign a bill for a_constitutional amendment, T would do it, while he would vetu it. In a word, the suprei court said that I would not have that pr: at1vy should come to pass that my signature or veto becomes neeessary.
