IT WAS MURDER AND SUICIDE The Coroner's Inquest Develops ‘Who the Dead Man Is. HIS NAME IS JACK NOLAND. Gardeners In Session—More About “That Tiger"—The Ark to Be Closed—Services and Subjcots. Jack Noland the Murderer. The terrible double tragedy of Fiiday evening was the all-absorbing tovic of con- versution on the streets yesterday morning, and at an early hour a crowd began to gather in front of the undertaking rooms of Field & Este), whero the inquest over the remains of the suicide was to be held at 10 o'clock. They were refused admittance, but, remained patientiy outside, peering eagorly through the windows, hoping to catch a glimpse of the body of the murderer and suicide. About 8 o'clock two strangers called and asked to see the body, stating that they thought they knew the dead man. Thoy were admitted, and recognized the corpse as that of Jack O'Brien, claiming to have known him for two years, They then disap- peared, and were not to be found when wanted by the police a couple of hours later. The testimony developed ut the inquest threw some light on the subject of his iden- tity. About half past 10 Coroner Waterman stated that he was ready to brocced with the investigation, and Marshal Guauella ushered in the witnesses, There were Dut five of them and they were the female inmates of the Edwards' bagnio. They were all in the house at the time of the shooting, and three of them were in the room with the victims when the tragedy occurred. Frankie Brooks was the first witness. Sbe sfated that the dead man first came to the house last Sunday, and had been there three times since. She was in the room when ho fired the first shot. Saw Kittie fall, and then ran from the room. Annie Moore was next sworn. Said she and Frankie were sitting on a rocking chair, when the deceased and Maud came_f{rom an adjoining room:. Ho asked to seo Miss Kit- tie, and she must have heard him ask for her, s sho came in from another room be- fore any one had a chance to go and call her, As s00n as she came 1n the room he turned and shot her, ‘‘Frankie and I went out to- gether, and did not see him shoot himself, but heard another shot before we were out of the door. We did not. stop to look back, I saw the dead man at Bell Clover's night before last. That was the first time 1 ever saw him.” Lottie Leland then took ‘the stand, and said: “This man was at the house uwo or three times. He came a few nights ago and [ was asieep in bed. He told the girls he had bought some jewelry on specuiation and wanted to sell some rings and a watch. The girls brought him to my room, und when I woke up he was sitting on the bed about jewelry, I bought the watch and borrowed the money of Miss Kittie. There were two men With him at the time, one tall and slim and the other short and younger. I did not know him, and Maud was the only one in the house who kyew him when he came first. I wasn’t in the room when the shooting occurred. I heard the shots and tainted away. They took me jnto another house. I don't know where “the watch is now." Allie Mack was the next witness. She was unable to walk, oneankle being severely svrained, and had to be curried into the room. She said the deceased came to the house Tuesday night and said he must_sleep somewhere, and. was finally given a bed, When he came last night he was c haa a revolver in his pocket. “I aske she continued, *‘what was in his pocket and what he was crying for. He said it was a revolver, and said he was crying for ‘nothing.’ Iwasn't in the room when the shots were fired, but I neard them, and I jumped out of the window und sprained by ankle. I didn’t know any more until after I was carried to another house. I don't know the man, and neversaw himonly during the last few days.” Maud Eaton was the last witness. Her story was very clearly told, und was of con- siderable interest. Briefly it was as follows: 1 haye known the dead man for a year and ahalf. I became acquainted with him- ut Fannie Doran’s place, on North Ninth strect, Omaha, about that time. His name was John Nolan, but he went under the name of Jack O'Brien. His folks live at St. Joseph. He was a tough boy, but I never looked on him only as a young boy, and had no idea he would come to anything like this. He came over here a few days ago, and heard that I was at Miss Kittic's, Ho came there to see me, He was with two_others, and_they were all pretty-tough. He came again Tuesday night, and I had to let him have a bed, because 'he wouldn’t take any other answer. Miss Kittie came to me afteward and said she knew he was a crook, and told me he mustu’t come there, as he would get the house in trouble. He came a little after 8 o'clock last night and asked me to write a letter for him. Ismd I would, and took him into the side room. He was crying, und told me his brother was snot and killed a night or two before in Minneapolis whle robbing a jewelry store. He said he was going there, and would Kill the man who shot bis brother, even if he had to die too. 1 told him what Mise Kittic said about his coming. Then I began to write for him. He told me what to write. It was this: ‘Dear Mother, Father and Sisters—I write this to let you know where I am. Just then Miss Kittie came in and asked us to go out to the parlor, He refused to go, and she had to ask him five or six times. We went out, and I was just ready to go with the letter, when he saud: ‘Write “‘dead” at the top of the sheet. I told him if he wanted anything like that to write 1t himself. Then he said he wanted to seo Miss Kittic, and she came in. She must have heard him ask for her. As soon as she came in he pulled his gun out of his hip cket aud shot her, then he shot himself, e didn’t say a word to her as she came in, but just fired, “The address he gave for the letter was John Noland, St. Joseph. He was very drunk, aud told me that he had becn dead drunk all day. He said somebody about the house had wronged hiw, and he was going to got even. He said they had put the cops on 0 him, and if he died they would dia too. 1 think he was just crazy, because his brother oied and he felt awful bad about it. Then he was drunk, and he thought Miss Kittie had put the police- after him, and wnen she wanted him to move, he just made up his mind to kill her. It's a wonder he didn't shoot when she usked him to go out to the parlor.” Later she told a Bee reporter that she knew about the watch that Lottie bought of the dead man. When Lottie fainted, she grabbed the watch and threw 1t out of the window, but when they looked for it after- wards they could notfind it. She stated that the report that Noland had been in the penitentiary was false. Said she, ‘‘He told me last summer that he was sixteen yeavs old, so ne must be seventeen now.” She also stated that he was well ‘known to the Omaha police. The two men who identified the remains yesterday morning are the ones who accow- panied Noland to the Edwards brotliel when he sold the jewelry. The police are salis- fied that the” jeweiry was stolen, and that they have ‘‘planted” their haul' on Lower Brondway, and were taking it out in small quantities to dispose of, as at the time the watch was sold, It transpired yesterday that Ralph Pontius, a newsboy, sold the deceased @ copy of the Dispatch ut the corner of Maine street and Fifth avenue early Friday evening, and he then said he was going to kill him. self, aud gave the name of Johu Neoulds. He had a handfull of small change, aud the boy sad, *1f you are going to kill yourself, you won't neéd all that money, and had bet" ter give it to me.” The man then gave him an extra dime. The paper was found in his pocket after the tragedy. The coroner's jury, consisting of H.E. Grimm, F. L. Hayden and O, H. Lucas, re- turned a verdict to the effect that the 'de- coased camo to Lia dealh by & shot fired from a deadly weapon with his own hand and with suicidal intent. The remains of the suicide still Le at tho undertaker's. Tue doors were thrown open at noon and several hundred people viewed the body, but nome of them recognized it. Coroner Waterman telegraphed to the sup- posed relatives in St. Joe, and .will bold the remains for two days awaiting a reply as to what dll&um«m to make of them. There was nothing in the pockets but 20 cents in money, ® pocket glass, chisel aid cartr The woman has not yet recovered con- sciousness, and cannot recover. Several ad- ditional pieces of skull were reioved from the wound_yesterday morning. Her tongue and one side of hor body are paralyzed.

It was suggested yesterday that the mayor would probably issue an order to close *“The Ark," as two human beings had been shot down in cold blood within its walls, this being the course pursued after the murder of De Goode by Brooks at the ‘“‘Bucket of Blood.” Tt seems rather doubtful whether this method of closing the saloons and bawdy houses of the city will prove a success. 1t required one death to close the first place, and now there are two at the second. At this rate of increase it will require an enormous sacrifice before the round is complete, as there are now fifty saloons and more than that number of hou of prostitution run- ing ovenly in the . Whether the place losed or not, the tragedy will doubtless ¢ a wholesome offect on the lawless neighborhood in which it occurred. Com- plaints have been numerous for some time regarding the disgraceful orgies carried on there nightly, and it is hoped that the terri- ble deed of Friday night will serve as a check, temporarily at loast. ——— Save money on frames. 1414 Dodge st. es.
