AN , SELF- ADMITTED ACCOMPLICE Bhellenberger Makes a Confession to the Chief. THEN RECEIVES INSPIRATION. ! A Change Comes Over Him at Night— Ee Wants a Testament and Gives a Third Version of His Innocence. Joe's Day and Night Dreama. Yesterday morning Chief Seavey again took Bhellenberge. to his office. Aftor an hour's duration the conference came to a close, At the close both were met by Tus Bee man and Shelienberger granted an interview. He was looking bright, in fact like n gay back- woods groom on the morning of his prospec- tive nuptials, Said the chief: ‘‘Joe berger| has told me a story. ‘It s the third one I have received from him. It doesnot harmonize with any other. I have beenr trying 1o straighten out the storics, but Joo gets mixed as to dates. He fecls better this « morning than he has since he came here, He ‘wants me to get him a testament nml Iin- tend to bring him one this afternoon.” “Joe,”” with an mnm en. hildlike, almost angelic, i . & number of in- quiries, OTE 18 e AN LT don't think I'll say anything.” The next minuto he would aunswer questions, but in his own peculiar jerky way. ‘Ihere is no doubt, however, that he has admitted the ection with the Jones murder. Why have yoa told Chief Seavey these stories, Joe?” No answor. *Did you tell him that you had been to the Pinney farm¢” No answer. “Why did you admt that you had buried the bodies, when you suid that you had not been in Omaha?” Joe simply looked into vacanay, but vouch- fed no answer. : What story did you tell Chief Seavey to- ™ |meaning Shellen- told him that I was innocent.” “When did you make vp your mind to chiange the story you told him Tuesday?” “It was £ome time thismorning.” Vas it after you had gone to bed?” it was while I was in ed.” "Wlmt caused you to change your mind? ‘Were you dreaming?” +iNo, I wasn't asicep. Something camo to me. Idon’t know what it was. But I felt happy. Something came to me tight here |indicating his breast]. That's why I told the story. This moerning I felt like a feather.” “Do you want & testamenti” “Yos! aWhy “Becauso 1 feel good.” Joo amiled like an 1nocent. ““Did you ever say Neal had told you he \ had killed a man in Whitman, Neb?"” . “No: 1 said he bad told me he had killed & man out west and had + kot out of it easily.” “Did you ever say that Neal had visived you nt Nebraska City 1” il me the story you told tne chief Tues- “ivs like this. [A long panse.| “thinke DIl say anything about it.” I don't 4l wauldn‘t do me any good.” #1f you did not admit having something to do with. Neal, why do you change your story " No reply. Then Joe asked a question. ““What paper published the story about me this morning “Tue Bl he was told. . “Well that's been done [hesitatingly [-—a man who 18 at liberty ought [avother long pruse]— I don't think Il say anything about it.” And so the talk went on. tiresome to the reporter thu “wrisoner. The change of heart 4 his story of Tuesda ferred to. Chief Scavey said that tha story told Tuesday was corroborative of thav first given, but that in attempting ~10 verify certain dates, Joe broke down com- pletely. The one principal date was that on which Shellenberger left Nebraska City and ' ~came up here. He first denied having been in Omaha ip three yeurs. Then he said he had been bere but a few wecks ago, but the date could not be decided upon. SWill you tell another story tomorrow “No, | won'ttell no more stories. I now * stick to this one, If they hang me, and they can if they want, they'll hang an innocent man,” Chief Socavey said that another feature of Joe's confession was thut it seemed to in- volve another maq, a third party, ‘This may be inferred also from the refsr- ence to tho man *av liberty,” of whom he spoke above. ““This morning, however," said the chief, {the first thing Joe said w me was, ‘If you are hunting a third man, chief, swp 1t, be- cause what I'toid you about 1t is all un- true.’"” Joe is certainly a mystery. Yet it was more it was to the which caused Joe to Jis proof of the Shellenberger Gets His Testament. The fact that Shellenberger thoroughly feels himself a totally and irredeemanly doomed man came from his own lips yester- day. As related to a Bre reporter at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Chief Seavey himself; the makingof the ackuowledgment was as follows: *Shellenberger and I had been closeted to- gether for some time again today, when he broke one of his long spells of siience by ex- claiming : ‘“Now I am going to tell you the whole thing--that 18, something I have not told you yet, and it is this: Chief Seavey, I know, just as well as I am right here before you, and just as well as I know thuat I am alive at this moment, that nothing can save me from the gallows. 1 am going to hang for this— I know it, I feel it right in here [pointing to his breast]. But Idon’t feel so bad about it as 1 did. It made me feel botter to say this to you.! ““T'hen the fellow lapsed into another of his spells of silence, which I could induce him to break only by sbandoning the more leading questions, and trying io cléar up in- consistencies as to his statements regarding the dates of his various movements.” The chief brought the testament the pris- oner had asked for. It is u handsome, gold Taced little book, and Suellenberger exhibited about the sawe sort of gleo at receiving it that u little boy does when ha gets his first pair of boots. The chief says if he asks for 2 minister or priest he wiil get him one, or a dozen of them, together with a church choir or two, should his fitful funcy so aesire. Heo says that under such peculiar circumstances and moods as are presented in Shellenber- 1's case at the present time, he 1s a great cliever in the efcacy of u policy of gratifi cation, WAX FIGUR IN count Neal Prays that Images of Mr. and Mrs. Jones Be Enjoined. Neal, the accused murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, has secured a temporary injunc. tion restraining museum managers from ex- hibiting & wax represontation of thoe tragedy at the Piuney farm, The application for the writ, after sotting forth in u graphic manuer the fact ¢f tho Kkilhmg of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, alleges that the defondants have “‘made in wax woat purports to be a likeness of the sala Nathan Jones snd wife during their tifetime, and has also drawo a picture represeating the Pinney farm, The petitioner alleges that representations are calenlated o prejudice snd infure the potitioner by associating him with the commission of the said alleged crime, ‘The petitioner also complaius that the like TCSS 18 NOL & trua representation of the peti- but represents him in appearance as o wan of desperate character aud of brutal na- ture and is woeli calculated to prejudice even fuir-minded men against him.

Rev. Willard Scott's Interesting His- torieal Lecture. Rev. Willard Scott spoke at the Young Men's Christian Association Thursday night on “The Beginnings of This West.” The lec- ture wes interesting throughout, and very instructive, the facts presented being clothed in ag attractive form, and a subject which might otherwise have been 1nsipid was made palatable to the audience. ‘[he following will give an idea of the substance of the lsc- ure: In passing through the country from ocast 10 west we got a very meager conception of its extent, and our impression of it 18 that it is a region through which we pass very swiftly and see very little, While famil- r with the east, and somewhat ac- quainted with our own section of the west, we kunow little of the country between, and it is this region, or “The Be- ginnings of the West,” of which we speak. ‘Tliis country was u- ginally traversed by two classes of explorers—the Spaniards from the southwest, who penotrated as far as tho Platte river, and gave it its name, anod the French, or Caoadians from the northeast. The latter under the leadershin of Father Marquette ana LaSalle penetrated 10 the Missisaippi, and thence to the Gulf of Mexico. Their purpose was partly explora. tion and partly missionary work—carrying the gospel to the [ndians, The idea was to elovate tho Indians, but the experiment proved that so far from elevating the Indi- ans the Iudians elevated the French back- wards. At the time of the peace of Aix-la- chapelle, 1748, the English occupied only the sea coast, nowhere extending more than 200 miles from the Atlantic, while the Ftench occupied all the region westof the Alle- gheny mountains, from Canada to the gulf. The i'rench had a very convenient plao by virtue of which they secured possession of the country. It was this: They claimed all the region of country drainea by the rivers which they explored, and thus when La Salle sailed down the Mississippi in his twenty-fcot boat, bearing aloft the banner of I'rauce and’ shouting for Louis XLV, he claimed the entire basin of that river for his sovereign. The plan of the Erench was to keep the English on the east of the Allegheny moun- taing and in addition to passdown Lake Chawplain, Lake George and the Hudson river and divide the English colonies on the coast. This was prevented by the [roguois Indians, or i"ive Nations of New York, who were hostile to tho French and defeated them and drove them back into Canada. There were three reasons why it did not seem probable that the English would gain possession of this western country, Viz.: ‘The French had it, which is nine points of law, they were proud of it, and were ready to advance any amount of money to defend it; Canada was an hier- archy and its governor could proceed in- stantly to carry out any plan of defense which he conceived, while the English colo~ nies were compelied to wait upou each other. In spite of these facts, within seven years the French did not possess a footof territory in this entire country. This was the situa- tion ut the close of the French and Indian war. ‘I'ne question now was: “What was to rrcvunl wne country from becoming ull Eng- sh?" or rather, **Which would be, English wlish, British English, or American Kng- lllh " ‘The English government and the colonies soon came in contact, and the ques- tion was settled by the revolutionary war, a war fought to decide whether or pot the col- onies could be taxed without representation. This latter question was settled, first, by the New England soldiers in buff und blue, who met the British at Lexington and at Con- cord: second, by the pew whigs in Euygland under the leadership of William Pitt, who favored the colonies; and third, by the sur- render of Burgoyne at Saratoga and the en- listment of the sympathy and assistunce of France. While the English were occupied with the colonies on the eust the “‘ouckskins’ of west- ern Pennsyivania, Virginia and South Caro- lina were creeping over the mountains and settling in the valley of the Mississippl. They were siwurdy Scotch-Irish Presbyter- ians, who looked upon the Indians as Philis- tines, and ook every occasion to siay them, They believed in foreordination and that they were foreordained to this work. When the war was over they were here, and here they remained. .1t was largely through tho diplomacy of John Jay and_John Adams in Paris that the possession of this region was secured (o the colonies. The facy tnat the colonies alreudy had it carried considerabie weight. Through the efforts of Murylund the country west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio river became public prop- erty 1o 1737, 'I'ms creaticn of the “eminent domain’ was the anly thing which counld have made the uaion of the colonies possible. It wus the first thing of which they spoke with a “we" and an *“‘our,” Such was the development of *“The Begin- nings of This West.” ‘This lecture was one of the ‘‘Members' Lecture Course,” for the benefit of the mem- bers of the Young Men’s Chirstian associa- vion and their gentlemen friends.

Josephme Kofka 18 a minor, thir- teen years of age, and was given tw the Spilineks by her paronts when she was an infant, the agreement beng that the Spili neks were to adopt her and bring her up ‘as thew own, they having no children. No legal steps were ever taken to adopt the child, and in 1835 Spilinek, it will be remem- bered, committed suicide, first shooting his wife, from the effects of which she died in few lhyl. Before sho died shie made a will bequeathing all her property to the girl Jo- sephiue. A brother of Spilinek, one Auton Spilinek, set up a claim to the estate on the ground that the girl was 1:ot the child of the couple and that undue influences had been usad. A cross suit was instituted making Anton and three other brothers defendants, the last three being residents of ' Bohemia. The suit involves a point of law which has never been decided in this state, namel whether the contract, which was virtually entered Into between the girl's parents and the Spilineks, although never legalized or re- duced to writing, will hold in preference to the claims of a blood relative.

There.was a jury trial of & case before Judge Helsley yesterday afternoon, involv- ing a question of interest to residents of the city eenerally. Garbage Master Bennett nad Henry Combs aad Jessie Clyde arrested for disposing of the garbage of three or four of the larger hotels, restaurants, private houses, etc., in the city at a stated price per month. The ides in Bennett's mind was that 1 so doing Combs and Clyde were en- croaching upon his fat contract with the city. Bennett prosecuted under the ordi- nance, which makes it a misdemeanor for any one to engage 1n the business of hauling jrarbage without first placing himself under the superyision of he garbage master, or words to that effect. Bennett, could not, however make his construction ot the ordinance stic The coustruction that prevailed was, in effect, that in this fres coun- ry of Ame hotel ov restaurant keeper or a private citizen could see 1o the hauling away of the garbage from his place by any- body he might see fit to employ. Some ofy the hotel and restaurant men claim tney have been bled outrageously in the past by the garbage master, and propose hereafter to fight an effort at a repetition of the prac- tice. Combs and Clyde have, it seems, suc- cecded in getting away several big jobs trom the official muck haudles, ana this is what raised the latter’s ire. The jury was composed of well known business men, who returned a verdict of not guilty. An Absolute Cure.

The cou- ditions of the shoot are ‘the same as those which have characterized all the exhibitions given by the cowbiuation—thirty single and five pairs of blue rock targets to tho man, the eastern team versus the west. ‘The members of these two teams are all gentlemen and business men, and as profes- sional shots enjov a world-wide reputa- tion. Mr. Dimick conceivwd the idea of making this famous tour in the interests ~ of @ cartridge ' company, and the revival of trap shooting generally, and under his clean and eflicient mauage- ment the laudable objects of his wmission promise to be abundantly fultilied. The composition of the two teams 18 made up of expert marksmen representing tne larger cities of the east and west. ‘The per- sonnel of ‘euch is as follows: The eus team —H. McMurchy of Syracuse, W.

The anniversary entertainment given in Huat's ball Tuesday night in honor of the birth of Robert Emmet was an unqualified suc cess and reflected much credit on the eficient committees who had been working unceas- ingly for weeks in itsbebalf. When Reov. D. W. Morearty called the audience to order every available seat was occupied and the sles were packed with enthusiastic listen- ers who fllled every inch of standing room. ‘the stage front was tastofully decorated with American and Irish fiags, the centre piece being & portrait of Robert Emmet delivering his speech in the . dock. Oa the stage were seuted Kov...John Williams, T. W. Morearty, ocsq, and John Shea, esq., the speakers of the _vening. in company with City. Treasurer John Rush of Omaha, the chairman of the meet- ing. Occupying_seats ou the stage also were Rev. D. W. Moriority of South Omaha, Jeremiah Howard of South Omaha, and ex- Councilman Michael Lee, Moses . O'Brien, Esq., Dr. Riley aod J. Fitzmorris of Omaha. b Betore introducing the participants in the evening's programme Chairman Rush con- gratulated the Irishmen of South Omaha in their commendable display of patriotism in commencing where their brethren in Omaha had left off in remembering the anniversary of Ireland’s martyr hero, Robert Kmmet. Parnell’s victory over his enemies aund traducers was referred to in glowing terms, and a glorious victory for the Irish causé predicted in the end. Miss Fannie Arnold sang “Kathleen Mavourneen’ so grandly that she was com- pelled to respond to an encore, when she rendered that pleasing lrish melody, “Dermott Astore.”” Miss Maggie Swift of Omuna playing the accompaniment. J. Moriarty, esq., the first speaker, paid a luelinz tribute to the memory of the young srishman whose sad ending the gathering had met to commemorate. Emmet's unsel- fishness, his patriotism and his heroism were pictured in beautiful language. As a fitting close to his tribute to Emmet Mr, Moriarty read” the last words of the hero in his mas- terly and memorabie speech on the dock: diiss Stacia Crowloy recited the patriotic revolutionary poem, ‘At Monmouth,” which tells of the death of Molly Stark, the daring Irish woman gunner. Itaroused ‘enthusiasm and in response to a recall Miss Crowley re- cited the humorous story of *‘A Fair Little Maid of Tralee.” Miss Maggie Rush sang with maidenly sweetness the pretty Irish ballad, ‘“'She is Far From the Land.” The little lady is a favorite with South Oiwaha audiences and although she was suffering from indisposi- tion she was compelled to answer loud and prolonged recalls. She sang even moro sweetlv *‘Choice of my heart,”” accompaaied by her sister Miss Mamio Ru~h. Rev. John Williams, pastor of St. Barna- bus Episcopal cturch in Omaha, was down for the principal seech of the evening. Mr. Williams' address, while lacking the fiery eloquence of most Irish orators, was full of wise counsel and sensible advice to Irish- wmen. He devlored antagonism and faction- alism among patriotic Irishmen, because even one-half of England was as outspoken as Srin’s sons in demanding justice for the Emerald isle. Mr, Williams' address was a patriotic, eulogistic and eloquent tribate to Emmet and the character of his countrymen, Miss Fannie Arnold followed Mr, Williams, singing “The Kerry Dunces” and “Kitty of Coleraine.” Jonn C. Shea of Omaha deliv- ered the closing address, brief but full of force and vigor. The last number on the programme was the singing of the Irish na- tionalanthem, *'God Save Ireland,"” by James . Murphy of Omahu, After the entertanment the participants in the programme fenjoyed a supper at Valk- er's restaurant to which ample justico was aone. The excellent quet feast was cut short to enable the Omaha people o take the last motor trains home. ‘I'be celebration was she most successful ever given in the Magic eity, many beiug un- able to gain udmission into the crowded hall.
