POORLY PAID PERJURERS. Sonsational Sequel to a Rallroad Damage Suit. THE JUDGMENT SET ASIDE. Two Thieves Captured at Fremont While Actem tden Plunder—C Nebraska News. The Verdict set Aside. Prarresmovrn, Neb, Oct. 31 Telegram to Tne Bee.|—~Tho most sensational affair ovor known to the courts of Cnss county was developed to-day in the district court when a motion for a new trial was filed in the case of Norman Coon, of Weeprog Water, vs Tho Missouri Pacific Ratlway company. The case was tried be- tu# Judge Samuel M. Chapman and a jury Octobor 25, 1880, and was a scquel to the following accident, which occurred ubout midnight Decomber 10, 1587: Mr. Coon was driving across tho Missouri Paciflc track near Weeping Water and was struck by a freight train, killing bis team and breskine several of his ribs and one leg. Hé engaged Attorney 1. A. Gibson, of Weeping Water, to enter suit against the company for $25,000 damages. Two brake- men on the traiu which struck Mr. Coon's team, named Van Gelden and ‘Torreuce, were soon discharged from the company’s employ for some misdemeanor, and Mr. Gib- son, learning this fact, thought they proba- bly would make good witnesscs agaiust the company, and at once, after ascertaining their whereabouts, opened a correspondence with them, which resulted ina conference of the trio at Weoping Water. Mr. Gibson took the caso for 35 per cont of the recovery and assumed alt liability for costs and was to y all expenses, Having retained M. A. Hartigan, of Hastings. as assistant counsel in the case, he gave Vau Gelden and Tors reuce @ letter of introduction to Mr. Harti- gan and sent them to FHastings. The men made a statement to Mr, Hartizan that the engine which pulled the train that injured Coon was in a bad condition: that the head- light was poor; that no whistic was blown or bell rung from the time the trawn left Manley until it werived in the yards of the company at Weeping Water; also, that the rate of speed at the time of the accident was about thirty-five or forty miles an hour. No signal was sounded at the crossing and the con- ductor was asleen. Mr. Hartigan immediately drew up a con ctin writing, wherein Van Gilder and forrence were each to receive 10 per cent of the recovery and 20 cents per mile for dis tance traveled by them from Colorado, where they expec at_time of trial, providiug they v the same testi- mony in court as the; cd to him. The cor.tract was agreed to and signed as follow: Norman Coon, by M. A. Huartigan, attor- ney; B, A, Gibson, by M. A. Harti ate torney: M. A. Hartigan, attorney for T. 1. Van Gilder and ——- Torreuce. Coon claimed damage 10 the amount of $25,000, and tne 10 per cent of it which these witueskes were to receive was a str incentive to carry out their part of the con tract. (The 3 per cent spurred the attor- neys with equal force and eifectiveness. At the timo of trial the ouly evidence fi ing the liability of the company wasgiven by the perjurers. Judgnient for £ 000 was ren- dered in favor of the plaiatiff und the men demanded their 10 per cent of the haul, but were boldly refusea by artigan, and, in- stead, were paid the pittance & of $42 each, with which sum they left Plattsmouth highly indignant at Messrs. Gibson and Hartigan for breach of contract. While in Omaha Hon. B. P. Waggoner, general attorney for the Union Pacific road, was visited at the Paxton and the ex facts of the case stated (0 himn Upon receipt of the contract, written by Mr. Hartigan and signed by all parties con- cerned, Mr. Waggoner telegraphed his ns- sistant attorney iu this city to file a motion for a new trial upon grounds to be sustained by the fucts already mentioned, which was done, Mr. Waggoaer came to Plattsmouth to-day and filed an afidavit setting up all the facts of the perjury and suboruation of perjury: “'he motion was heard before Judge Chap- man. Hartigan and Gibson were prescat with blanched checks and trembling lips. They listened to Mr. Waggoner's statement, and Gibson 1 effect said that Hartigan done it and Hartigan replied iu effect that be did not. Mr. Waggener arew from his pocket the witness document in Hartigan's handwriting and, presenting it to him, asked: “fs that your handwriting ! Mr. Hartigan veplied: *“Ob, I anything The document was tlien honor, who arefully evidence of the greatest te! d in the court of this county. Both Harigan and Gibson in de- fense, followed by Waggener, when Judge Chapinan said: “I have heard all the argument thu necessary in this ease,” and then delive very strong rebuke to these perpetrators of crime and injustice. It was the strongest pleading of justice ever delivered in this or any other court, and in conclusion he suid: ‘The verdict is set aside. It was obtained by meaus that admits of no justification or defense, and by perpetrating & frand upon the court and an outrage upon the poor." Two Youthful Thisves Arrested.

Besseuen, Mich, Oct, 81.—In the Holzhay trial to-day his attorney entered the plea of wssnity. He Says Conghlin Wanted Him o Slag Cronin. Cricaao, * O, ~Judge McConnell's court, in which the Cronin trial isin prog- ross, was caflélf to order nearly half an hour later than wsnal. Patrick MoGary, who oo- cupied the chair at the time of adjournment last night, wiis/#till on the witness stand. Donohue,of counsel for the defonse, moved to strike out All that part of McGary’s evi- dence given ypsterday in which witness ae- scribed his wvisit to vhe house of Defendant O'Sullivan &ftér Dr. Cronin's murder and at which time’ he questioned O'Sullivan closely abowt his- contract with Cronin, After a long grgument it was decided to postpone the decision of the point till after: noon inorder to allow counsel time to pro- sent authori*ies. Pending that the ¢ross-examination of McGary was postponed and George Reilly waus called to the witness stand. He testified that, in the latter part of March, Coughlin, O'Sullivan, and others were in a saloon and were talking bolitics when Coughlin said that a certain north side Catholic was talk- 0 too wuch and that if he dian't keep his mouth shut he woald get the worst of it. James Quinn, the next witness, was ques- tioned about the same matter as the witnoss who preceded him, and nothing was de- veloped. Then the stato attorney sought to intro- duco _correspondence between Beges and Spellman, I'oster, attorney for Beggs, said that he was ready to admit anything that Beges ever wrote, but that he conld say nothing about lotters written by any one else. So the matter went over pending the appearance of Spellman, he examination of W. P. Hatfleld, sales- man for Revel & Co., who sold the furniture which was taken to 117 Clark street, was next in order, but nothing new bevond the fact that Simonds, who bought it, said it was “for temporary use,”” was developed, After Hatfield had identified the furniture s0ld to Simonds as that subsequently seen by him -in the Carlson cottage, the trunk in which Dr. Cronin's body was packed, was brught into court. Hatfield testified that 1t was identical with the one sold to Simonds, but on cross-examination seid he would not swear it was the identical trunk because the firm kept such truuks on hand always and perbaps other dealers did also. It could not be sworn to positively that the furniture in the Carlson cottage was the same sold to Simonds; it was positively like it, however. A recess was then taken. When the court resumed session the jury was excluded while the matter of striking out McGarry’s evidenco was discussed. The court finally decided to exclude all of the talk in regard to the former attack on Cronin. This was not satisfactory te the de- fense, but after some talk the trial was re- sumed. John W, Sampson test rs ago Coughlin tried to hire him to lug” Dr. Cronin. On cross-examination Sampson admitted that Coughlin had ar- ted him three or four times, once for robbery; that he had been convicted for passing 'counterfeit money; that he is a gampler by profession and was given to “playing de shells,” which is a variation of three-card monic, Joseph C, O'iCcefe, Cronin’s tailor. said he attended a meeting of camp 20 m Septembe 1885, and after he had a conversation with Beges about Cronin and Alexander Sullivan. Beges had. digpiayed an aversion to Cronin and said the latter was not a proper man to put on the tewl committee to try Alexander Sullivan. He objected to Cronin parsicular- 1y because the doctor was an enemy of Sul- livan, ldward Throekmorton. 1d James M, Marshall, ¢ tate oftices, testified of the flat at 117,Cl onds, row. An afternoon paper says that soon after the disappearance of Dr. Cronin, the state put spies upon eamup,20, and that'a man was con- cealed in the hall during some of its meet- ings and took notes of its proceedings.

Afterward Coughlin changed the plan and decoyed Cronin by means of Sullivan’s business card. Burke told Gillette, that, the woman in question kept fur- nished lodgings on North Clark street in Chicago. 3 Burke mentioned as associates with him- self, Coughlin, Cooney and O'sullivan. “the intention was to sink the body in the lake, but a confederate who was to meet them with a boat failed to keep his appoint. ment. Gillette says Burke weat twico to a law- yer's oftice on Dearborn sireet, Chicago, and ot woney fur doing the job. Cronin’s clothes were ~brought to Winni- peg and hidden there. Ghllette told Baker how Burie told him 1a @etail of the murder, how Cronin was clubbed as he stepped inside the cotta door, and how they tool his body to the lake, and not finding the boat there” threw it in, Fearing, however, that it would wash up on the beach, it was tal placed in a trunk and afterwards put in the catch busin, Gillette's stor; y circumstantial and agrees with that told by Mills ana Heffer, other fellow “prisoners of Burke, and Mr. Baker is inclined to believe it is straight in spite of the apparent improbability of Burke having confessed. ed that about two Aaron_ Goldman nuected with real ‘egarding the renting street, to J.

He expressed himself as being confident that the larger the number of votors registered, the larger would be the republican majority at the coming county election for every nominee of the party, Speaking of the republican nom- ineo for supremo judge, he said : “At the state convention, at Hastings, we nominated Judge Norval because we' re. garded him us an avalable youug man. We want young blood on the suprome bench. And we want a man who, as_judge, will bo able to cope with any entangiement of our laws that m: t any time present itself, Now, 48 to the distict judgeship, 1 have only to say that Iam in favor of a hon-parti- san judiciary. Judge Groff has beo called’to a higher position, and inasmuch s he was one of the 'two republican judges chosen in a non-partisan judicial con- vention, 'S 10 more than right at the -ancy should be named by the republican party, and not by a small group of individuals that have banded them- selves together for the purpose of dictating 10 a whole judicial district who shall or shall not agminister our laws, I refer to the Douglas county bar. 1say that Herbert Davis ropresents tho choice of the republ: can party—the party that 18 certainly en- utled to the right to name tho successor of Judge Groft.” R. 8.

Hailigan urged the republican voters tostand by their flag undivided, He in- formed his listeners that they could not grow corn with a straight back, and that in order to rout the enemy they would have to labor untiringly until the ciose of the cam- paign on the night follow:ng the day of elec- vion. Joe Southard, the candidate for register of deeds, entertained the audience with a pointed argument in behalf of the republican nominees. He stated that the republican purty had more reason to fear the result of non-registration than iv had to fear a full vote, “And,” continued Mr. Southard, *'I want the voters to say who shall or shall not bo thoir servaut. 1f a representative vote is not polled a fair expression of the poople can not be had. I bave resided in Omaha avout twenty years, and if I am not the choice of the people it is for the people to say, and the people’s duty to decide.” John Rosicky, editor of the Polkrok padu, spoke toa considerable length in the \emian tongue, reviewing the nominees of both tue dominant DATLc Frank Bandhauer being calied to the floor, responded briefl, Dan O'[Kecfle was the final speaker, he predicted a clean-cut victory for the tire republican ticket.
