WANTS T0 SEE HIS CLIENT. Kennedy Fighting For His Rights as Burke's Attorney. A LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER. After Rending It the Suspect Gives Way to Uncontrollable Amn guish—Longenecker Thinks He Bas the Key. Great Expectation Cmioaco, August 7.—Special Telegram to Tor Bee |—Senator Kennedy, Martin Burke's Wisconsin lawyer, walked into the state's attorney’s office this morning, pulled out an official-looking document and handed it to the assistant in charge. It was ad- dressed to George W. Hubbard, John ( May and Joel M, Longenecker, and read as follows: *Please take notice that on August 7, 1589, at 10 a. m,,his honor, Judgo Frank Baker, is- sved a writ of habeas corpus in the above entitled cause, and that smd writ will be made returnable at 8 p. m. ths 7th day of August, 1859, unless you immediately permit Martin Burke, indicted for the murder of P. H. Cronin, to see his counsel, William Ken- nedy, in private.” Lawyer Kennedy had in the most quict manner procured the writ. Judge Haker's prosence in the building was not known un- til after it had been ascertained that the writ was issued. When Lo entered his court room he found Lawyer Kennedy and Lawyer Carter, together with a stenographer, await- fng him. Judge Baker invited his early callers into his private chambers and, with closea doors, heard the application. The writ was granted, the lawyers hurriedly dis- ppeared, and the judge departed by his private door, escaping from the building without submitting to an interview. Chiof Hubbard was served with a copy of the sum- mons this afternoon. After Deputy Sherift Gleason had served Chief Hubbard with a copy of the summons the papers in the case ‘were made public. The petition sets forth that William Kennedy complains and shows that he is the employed attorney of Prisoner Burke, and that he saw Burke in jail in Win- nipeg about July 19 and received instructions to act us his attorney. On information Ken- nedy says that Burke arrived in Chicago on the ‘night of August 5, 1850, in charge of Chief ‘of Police George W. Hubbard, and that “‘when said police oficer reached Chi- cago with his prisoner he “roceeded to lace his said prisoner in what petitioner ns learned since his arrival in said connty isa ‘swoat box.) The petitioner in this connection says that said place is one that the law has never sanctioned, and th the said Martin Burke is detained without legal process.”” The potition then says that the petitioner has been refused permission to see and converse with Burke, and that the chief of polico has refused to move his prisoner to the county The peutioner further says that he is informed and believes that some of the ofticers comprising the squad that had charge of tho prisoner stated th they proposed to make Burke talk, wh fore petitioner says that it is nis the imprisonment of Burke in known as the “‘sweat box' is in pu of the plan indicated by the 1 aforesaid ofticers. The petitioner spent nearly the entire duy of Au making efforts, which were una obtain an interview with his, Martin Burke. The petitioner says that he is informed uand that in order to terrify Burke the police gave instructions that Burke be heavily ironed, and in addition should be chained to the floor of the ear and surrounded by ofiicers. The petitioner prayed for the issuance of the writ of habeas «corpus, pursuant to the statute, directed to 3eorge W. Hubbard, commanding bim to bring Martin Burke forthwith before the court and show cause for his detention. It is further prayed thut the prisoncr ba conflned in the common juil, and that he be of the Ing, to client, further believes chief of should thereto "n game permitted to see his lawyer, in pursuance of the statute. The news that Burke before Judge Baker this afternoon had the effect of half filling the court room with spectators auxious to get a glimpse of the celebrated suspect. AU five minutes after 3 Burke had not shown up, and the stute’s at- torney said he would not. “Why not?” By way of an answer the official closed one eye. 20t he must be brought hore.” After o moment’s hesitation, the state's attorney said he thought not; 'but why, he professed an inability to explain, At 3:1 Chief Hubbard, accompanicd by Corporation Counsel Hutchinson, entered and the latter proceeded at once with an argument. The substance of Mr. Hutchinson's argument was that Chief Hubbard could not comply with the writ, as by virtue of the writ of extradition Burke waus not in his custody, but in that of Oflicer Collins. To this Mr. Kennedy, on the part of Burke, demurred. He said that as Chief Hubbard had given orders to keep Burke 1n close cus- tody, and directed the uctions of the police, he ‘was the constructive custodian of the vrisoner. Judge Baker gave an intimation of his decision would be when he said: will hardly do, Mr. Kennedy. I might as well direct'a writ against the mayor because he is the legal head of the police force and gleven orders to the chief; and yet it can not claimed that the mayor has charge of the prisoner.” - Mr. Hutchinson, in reply to the questions of the opposing counsel a3 to why Collins should not take orders from his chief, replied that while it is true Collins is but a dotective in the employ of the city of Chicago, he was in this case the speciil messenger of the president of the Uuited States bearing a writ of extradition, ond as such was not amenable to the orders of the Chicago chief police. After some further argument Juker issued a new writ of habeas corpus directed to Officer Collins and return- able to-morrow, ‘The murder of Dr, Cronin isnot the first crime of that nature with which Burko has been charged. In 18 rosted ou suspicion of having boen conne ‘with the death of a man namel Tony Gal- lagher, but for want of proof the chal WS notfsustained. BOu the night of Octover 25, 18! ening was held at the house of a man nawed Lafly, at 48 Superior sireet, right in the heart'of the Irish settlement of the old Soventeenth ward. Among the guests at the festivity were Burke, John Gurrett and Tony Gullagher, Deer was blentiful, und Mr, Gallagher became noisy and obstropei ous, and was asked by the host to retire. He refused and becamoe more abusive. Martin Burke and John Garrett were requested to remove Mr. Gallagher from the premises. Mr, Gallugher was a pretty husky clansman himself, aud it took conslderable forca to re- move him. There was a free fight, and Mr. Gallaghor was ejected, with Messrs. Burke and Garrett as au escort to take him down stairs. He wont, fighting desperately all the time. That was tho last seen of Mr. Gal- lagher till November 17 following, when his dead body was fished out of the river noar tho Iudina street bridge, here were marks of violence on tho body and @ ropo was tied around his neck. Garrett, Burko and anothier man were arrested, but notuing could be proved against them, except that Gallagher was last scen in their company. The disposition of the body and the wounds are so strikingly similar to the Cronin tragedy that it is thought that Burke put into practice the lessons e recewved in the Gallagher wurder Chief of Police Hubbard, in company with several of Dr. Croniu's friends, went down %0 see Burke tnis afternoon for the purpose of identification by friends. Hubbard car- ried him a letter which had been in the north side postofiice for some time. It was from his wother in lows. The prisoner opened the letter und perused When ho had finished, he throw hiraself upon the floor of bis cell and cried liko & child, Seeing his grief-stricken cendition, it was decided to Ppostpone the confroutation of witnesses vuLil another i, Au afternoon paper says Chiof McRae, of the Winuipeg police, will be a witness at the trial; that he won Burke's confidence during the latter's sojourn in Wianipeg, and tho prisoner wade umportant adwissions to him. The authorities here aro confident that Burke will eventually confess. Btate's Attorney Longenecker said to-day “1 do pot think he can hold out ugainst the ubavoidable prospect of execution for wur- s to be brought o christ. AUGUST 8, 1880, der, I think he will confess. I am oortan Burke is one of the men who actually killed Cronin, and nothing in the world can save him from the gallows, except a juror who would not hang anybody. With ail the evi- dence wo have against Burke, and thers is far more than has been published, there is no escape for him, and he will drag down the others with him, We have evidence that can not be controverted.” BASE BALL.

Considerabie local interest 'is mani- fested w the matel WRESTLING Of the Most Inte tions Ever Seen in This O In the neighborhood of twelve hundred peopie assembled at the Coliseum night to witness the wrestling match between Evan Lewis, the Strangler, of Detroit, and D. MeMillen, the Strong Man, of San Francisco, and well they were repaid, for the exhibition was the wlost interesting and exciting of all the sporuving events that have taken place in Omaha witiiin a twelve month. The match ~was catch-as-cateh-can, the shoulders on the carpet constituting a fall, three best in five, for a purse of $300, hung up by the Coliscum management. After a couple of very tame bi- cycle races the two gladiators made their appearance and were introduced to the spectators by Manager Prince. They were received with vociferous applause, It ‘was plain to be seen that neither man was in condition. Lewis, who is a model of manly trength and symmotry, looked soft and labby, ana carried an’ Aldermanic paunch that did not resemble the formidable strang- ler when at himself. He complained of the Missouri river water, and said that twelve hours of it had completely upset him. McMillen, who is a great big, raw-boned Hercules, was also out of fig, his huge pro- portious being covered with scurs and abra- sions and contusions from his famous battle with Shellenbarger at Milwaukee last Friday night, which Y won after fourtcen consec- utive hours of herculean effort. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, cause for complaint could be found night's struggle. It was great. The sporting editor of Tie Bee was finally selected upon as referee, and timo called, and Lewis went right as 1f determined to vush a fast fail, McMillen, however, seemed equally determined to remain on his feet. By the use of his powerful arms, which resem- ble those of sowe of the monstrous quadru- mana we read of in equatorial Africa, he kept the Strangler from getting a log hold for fully four minutes. They grappled stand- ing up for fully this length® of time, when finally Lewis gotalock around Mac's leg, and he went to his hands and kne The Strangler fquickly pulied him over, howover, by his powerful leg hold, &nd skated him round the mattress on his head, Then McMilleu, by a marvelous acrobatic feat, in which he turned acomplete back-somme sault, he regained his fect and the two men ed on the defensive for a moment or inally Lewis gota leg hold with his right and a half-Nelson with his left. He throw the weight of his body on his oppo- nent, and Muc suddenly collapsed and went the carpet, both shoulders down. Time— 5. Aftor fifteen minutes' rest the two ath- lotes reappearod and lost no time in gotting o work. Contrary to expectation, MeMil- len took the initiaty nd hustled his wiry and powerful antagonist in the liveliest kind of style, The most thrilling fe of the bout occurred after they had bec fully ten minutes. McMillen secu Nelson and excrted all nhis strength, looked as if the Strangler's be broken., His head was Jjammed down on his chest, and the Stronz Man tugged and pulled trying to break him down, By a gigantic effort Lowis rased to his feet, but after a full minute of ferocious struggling fell to the mattress again, suc cumbing to the dangerous lock in 14:10. The third bout was another tough one, and 1so won by the Californian, although us efforts seemed to have told on him more thau they had upon his litke and willowy adversary. He again rushed the Strangler, and, seouring & half-Nelson, pushed Lewis on one shoulder, He was noar the edge of the platform and did not dare ercer himself, s ho would hud they been n a less dungerous position. He could not make o bridge, anda Mac continued to tug away until the other shoulder went aown. Time—11:05. ‘I'Re fourth bout was replete with brilliant locks and break: d ingenious manmuvre aud kept the big crowd 12 an unceasing t mult. Lewis worked at MceMillsu's legs, geiting into mavy criiical conditions, from which be only escaped by the most mar. velous and dexterous whirls and head spins, rizshed about the stage, and it was biff, up, now down, burry scurry, hel , for throe minutes. Lewis was aggressor all through this bout. Ho seemod bent on getting & quick full. Of course Mao did his bestto balk him, but it was no go, and by his famous neck lock the Strangler pulled both shoulders over on the carpet in exactly 8 minutes and 10 sce onds THE MATCH. One esting Exhibi- no in last It 16 final bout, which was won by Lewis, was one of the most magnificent exhibitions of wrestling over scen upon any platform. The men were slow in gotting & good hold, but flually Lewis got & balf-Nelson and a leg-lock, forcing MeMillan to & bridge und broakini him down, This was the longest bout of the series and lasted 16:80. Excood- ingly clever and skillful work was dis- pk d by both contestants in getting out of dangerovs locks, and altogether it was an exhibition such as has been seldow wit- nessed bere. ‘The wes were both tumult uously cheeredfas they shook hands and re- tired to the dressing room. Between the first and second and second and third bouts, Signor Mardis and Mons, Jackson, two promising amateurs, indulged in a cateh-as-catch-can battle, Mardis win- ning both falls, but not until Jackson had convinced him that he was in the fight. THE 8P Grand Circnit Races. Burrito, N, Y., August 7.—|Special Tele- gram to Tre Bre.]—There was a larger crowd and some flne contests for the second day of the grand circuit meeting. The time made shows the track to have been in good shape, three trotters entering the 2:20 list, while the pacers went several fast heats. Although sixtesn heats were disposed of, only two races were decided, leaving two others to be flaished 1o-morrow before tho regular programme can be reached Of the many fast miles, tho two heats trotted by the Maine bred stallion, Nelson, wore the most sensational. Nelson was backed at four to one to win t 22 stake, and he did so in straight heats. In the firs he and the gray gelding Sensation kept together till near the wire, when Nelson drew away and won the heat_in . The next mile was slower, and Lady Bullion finished close on the stallion, In ‘the third heat Nelson was sent. from the half, and again was crod- ited with 2:15 for the ' mile, many outsiders making it 2:14%, last half 1:06. The other stako, for the 2:27 trotters, was thought to be within the powers of Auleine, a mare bred by the owner of Nelson, and by the same sire. Auloine got two heats, one in 2:10}¢ and then the Boston stallion J. R. Shedd was cut loose and the next three heats were won by him. The finishes in the third were exciting, Shedd winning in the last few yards. The pacers had a battle of five heats, and still the issue is in doubt. Roy Wilkes was a favorite till s8ip, beat him in the third heat, and the latter w: the choice thereafter, Jewett surprised everybody by his finish in the fifth heat, when Gossip seemed to have the race won, The three heats of the 2:20 trot were fast. Jack was a 3 to 1 favorite till Greylight led the way in 2:17% for the first heat, and when he carried the Chicago crack to a break in the second heat. He was the choice at 4 to 1 in the third heat. Jack and Greylight both broke on the homestretch, the former catch- ing first and getting past the other gray. Besides these two unfinished contests, there are four events for Thursday, nclud. ing the mateh between Harry Wilkes and Belle Hamlin, in which the latter 18 a favorite.

A case of flagrant persecution was brought to light in police court yesterday. The vic- tim is William Nestlehouse, a young man whose mother is the wifeof one of the ‘wealthiest and best known citizens in Omaha. On Friday last,Nestlehouse was arrested, charged with being a vagrant. By employ- ing a packed jury the prosecution convicted him and he was sent up to do forty days time in the county jml. Of course he ap- pealed the case and furnished the necessary bond. Ttisalleged that the juror who se- cured the verdict of guilty in the case was one Dickover, who makes 3150 to $1i5 each month supplying the city prisoners witn food, and who didn’t care to_risk losing his sinecure by offending the officers at police headquarters. He acknowledged afterward that he koew of no reason why Nestlehouse should be convicted. Tt is said that Green has haunted the young for mor and has arrested him on conceivable pretext, but failed 10 tance to convict him of & single crime, until this last, Green ssserted that Nestlehouse was a pimp, & gambler and a thief, but slammed the door in the interviewer's face when asked why he didn't prove these things. « Nestlenouse's mother said that her boy was not & vagrant in any scnse of the term, and could have a home either with herself or her duughter. To illustrate how gencral is the practice of vagging everyone who don't §ll the police idea of an honest man, it may be stated that nine respectable laboring men were thrown into jail without the slightest pretext and released yesterday morning, e RECORDED TO-DAY, WILL BE The Motor Company's Mortgage to Secure a Loan of $800,000 The original first mortgage of the Omaha Motor railway company (o the Mercantile ‘Prust company, of New York, to secure a loan of $300,000, will be recorded this morn- ing.

President Strong's Ciroular Taking That Position Expeoted to Be 1ssued Duving the Coming Week—~Intense Interest. 1t Will Be a Desporate Strugelo. Cnioaco, Augnst 7.—[Special Telegram to Tus Bee.]—The Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City road to-day issued a notics that in the eventof lines west of the Missouri river charging local rates to Kansas City, “We shall shrink local ratos east sufficient to pro- tect through rates from the point of ship- ment to Chieago, and vice versa. TThis is the exact ground taken by the Al- ton, and will make things extremely inter- esting when the Atchison tariff appoars, quoting mo through rates exceptover the Santa Fo to Chicago. For a porfect under- standing of the matter it is necessary to re- member that General Manager St. John, of the Rock [sland, zave notice that his line would meet on local trafo this rate made as a proportion of the through rate from points west of Kansas City. This will inaugurate a see-saw reduction in rates, already ex- plained in these dispatches, There is no way of avoiding this fizht except by a decision of the inter-state commerce commission declar- 1ng the stand of the Alton and Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City to be illegal. The Alton people scout at such a decision, declaring their action perfectly legal. ' President Strong, of the Atchison, says his notice re- fusing to pro vata with other roads will probably be issued this week. Railroad men say it will mark the beginning of the most desperate strugglo ever seen between west- ern roads. Chairman Walker, of tho Inter-State Com- merce Railway association, has called a meeting of the board of managersof the association for August 14. In view of the Kansas City situation it bids fair to be an ex- tremely important meeting. Chairman Walker also gives notice that on August 12 will be heard the appeal of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City in its application to put into effect from Chicago to Des Moines and St. Joseph commodity rates based on the present low St. Paul commodity rates. As shown at the time of the application, this will, if put into effect by the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City, pull down every west- ern rate about 25 per cent. Chairman Walk- er will undoubtedly decide against the duction, when it may be made on ten notice in spite of the decision.

THE UNION DEPOT MATIER. A Preliminary Ordinance Introauced in the Council. The councilmen were of the opinion last night that the latest Union depot manifesto would not lose anything by laying over a few days that the peoplo may have time to consider its merits and faults, So they simply passed a preliminary ordinance de- claring the necessity of constructing a via- duct on Tenth street over the railroad tracks and ordering plans for the proposed struct- ure. This ordinace was read twico and re- ferred to the committee on viaducts and rail- ways and will bo presented for adoption on Tuesday night. This was the only action taken on the depot and viaduot question, but there were other important matters 1 abundance brought up for discussion, The ordinance prohibiting street railway companies from laying their tracks on paved streots except under cortain conditions, was taken up. The ordinance provides that no streot railway company shall receive a por- mit t0 lay tracks on a paved street except upon payment of @& sumn of money equal to the original cost of 8o much of the pavement as shall be romoved by the company in laying tracks, 1n cases whore asphalt pavement is removed within one year after it has boen laid the company shall pay the original costof tho amount” of pavement noved. After tho pavement is a year old the company shall pay one half the cost of the amount of pavement removed.
