HE FACES HIS FIRST JUDGE | Bd Neal, the Suspected Murderer, SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM. Repetition of the Details of the Jones Dual Murder and the Nervousness They Excite in the Person of the Sunspect. Neal's First Judge. 'he preliminary examination of Neal, tho alloged murderer of Mr. and Mrs, Jones, had been set for 0 o'clock yesterday morhing, at Justice Morrison's oftice. When that hour came, however, thero was no indication at the place named that tho important event was to oceur., County Aftorney Matoney being found stated that he had thought best, for many reasons, to chanye both the hour und place, and had arranged to have the examination at 10 o'clock in the county commissioners’, room at the court house. The change became known very slowly, and even many of the ofticurs went to Mor- rison's office, as did a Iarge number of;people who began to arrive before the time ans rounced. Quite a crowd gathered about the main en- trance of the county jail and hung on until |I|n‘|r curiosity to see Neal haa been satis- fled. Among the first to arrive at the commis sloners’ room wero Mr. and Mrs, Cadwalla- der, the son-in-law and daughter of the mur- dered couple; Mr. Jones, the son from [rvington, and his little boy, who identitied tho old Iady's ring which Neal traded in South Omuha. Other witnesses came 1n slowly. Cnief Seavey, who had gotten up OUT OF A BICK BED to be present, was the first, aside from Tae Bee reporter, to take a seat within the rail, and was followed a moment later by Hon. John C. Watson of Nebraska City, who, in his new capacity as counsel for Shellenber- ger, v7as w very close observer of the pro- ceedings, At 90 & m. every sitting 1n tho spectators’ portion of the room was filled with a double measurs of curios- 1ty and from that time forward it was a mat- ter of push and squeezo almost to desvera- tion, Justice Morrison was on hand a quar- ter of an hour before he was needed and modestiy taking o seat at one side seemed a trifle nervous, It was the first murder com- mitment he ever had heard as a magistrate. County Attorney Maboney did not appear until 10:10, but his cool, collected air proved in striking contrast to that exhibited by the other attorneys appearing in the caso. Mr. Mahouey had not been in the room more thun a_minute when a little procession of three filed in. It was composed of Sheriff Hoyd and Jailor Miller with Neal handcuffed 1o him. The prisoner looked very serious in com- parison with what he had been when 'last seen public. There was a sallow color in nis face and his features looked pinched and drawn. A two weeks' growth of fuzzy benrd was on his face. iio appeared nerv- cus, and fingered s derby hat uneasily throughout the entire exzmination. THE FIRST WORDS. The first words were uttered by Mr. Gur- 1oy, Neal's attorney. He moved the court to dischargze the prisoner on the ground that tue prelimmary examination had not been held within four days after the return of the warrant.* Mr. Mahoney was promptly upon his feet and foformed the court that the warrant had only been returned yesterday morning. rley had been, it scems, aaroitly He had been supposihg the return warrant had been made immediately after it had veen served. The court ruled in favor of Mr. Mahoney without a moment's hesitation, and ordered the examination to proceed, and the latter called witnesses for the state. As he did so, Gurley asked exclude all witnesses from th allow th to be present e: waere callod. Mahouey assented to this, and the court ordered the request complied with, Mr. Mahoney called Mr. Cadwallader as the first witness, In response to the count attorney’s questions the witness retold the story of his business connection with the Pinney farm property, saying that ho had a contr; 8@ 1t but had not received his lease at the time of the murder. He also cxvlained his relutionship with the old folks —-that they were the father and mother of his wife. ‘The location of the buildings on the place was also gone over. Mr. Gurley then took the witness but madoe liwle or no effort to get at anything further than a few details as to the facts brought out by Mr. Mahonay. Mrs, Cadwallader was the next witness, She again went over the story told before the coroner’s jury, and was questioned very little on cross-examination. Dr. McManigal was called and tes- tiffied to having made the post- wortem examination, giving in minute detail the course of the various bullets that ind evtered the victims, Dur- ing this testimony those sitting very near to Neal plainly observed that MIS NERVOCSNESS INCREASED. His breath came more quickly and he shuflled nis feet, and pinched his derby hat with his thumbs until the latter appeared al- most bloodless. Al these indication of great uneasiness increased at the instant when the butlet found was exhibited Little or no effort wus made at cross-ex amining the doctor. Churlie Root, the httle grandson of Allen Root, who resides near the farm, retold his story of when he last suw the old people ulive, M. S, the court to roowm, aud not cept as they Palmer, a civil engineer nected with the oity surveyors, took the stund and displayed & plat of the Puney farm, mude by him on Febru- ary . Counsel for detense said ho had no objec- tions to the drawing being admitted, and it was spread upon the table for future refor- euce. Mr, Palmer was then excused and Joroner Harrigan was called. 'The corone tified to visiting the sceno of the tragedy on the morning of February 13 in company with the city editor of Tur Bee. The loca: tion and appearance of the bodies were testi- fied to very fully by witness, who used the diagram that had been submitted, Nathan J. Jones, sou of the deceased couple, testified to having boen ou the prem: 1308 at the time the bodies wore found, and again described their appearauce with the SAME mInuteness as at the inquest, Calvin C. Wagner, hetter known as Fletch er Wagner, of West Side, wold of the discov- ory of the bodies, und the exawination was then adjourned to 1:30, con- Afternoon Session. The hearing was resumed by Mr, Mahoney cailling Martin Ruter, a German gardener Wwhoso pluce is about a mile from the Pinney farm, Tho witness was asked whether he over had seen the defesdant before, and re- phied ho hud. It was on January 30, and Neal was standing in the hog yard of the Pinney farm; dod, 88 witness passed him, Neal looked at him very hard 80 long. Wit 1 seen him again on February 6,when Neal, was driving the cattle to South Omaha, Ho had not seen Neal between the two da Oun cross-exumivation, witness said he had scen Neal on Jauuary also had passed him on the road. After passing him ou Junuary 30, witness said that ho looked around and Neal was standing still watching Lun, Ou the sawe day, January 30, witness sald that he saw aosther man at 10 go'clock in the worning, It was about 4:30 in the afternoon when he suw Neal, Tho next witiess was L.

When Dee continued his testimony and said that Neal forbade his gewting nay fro the stack nearost the horse barn the priso ner's uneasiness increased and did not scom | to diminish until Des feft the witness stand. | J. G, Morrill testitied to being out on the | farm the next Sunday after the teagedy was | discovered, and to picking up a pistol bul as previously told of at great length. E. G. Davis of South Omaha related his experience in buying the horses of Neal Whon Mr, Mahoney produced tha bill of sals which Neal bad given Davis and the latter had identified it, the prisoner's counsel picked it up and examined it, While so doing, Neal leaned forward and scrutinized the tell-tale scrap of paper very smulingly, | exactly as though its bringiog forward was a huge joke This _ was the only time during the entire day that the prisoner rovealed that amile which to the public has now become as much of a feature in connection with tho great | case as has any othor one particular thing. "I'ho next wilness straigttoned Neal's face out to its greatost possible length and ove shadowed it with & sullenness more intense than any seen upon it during the day. It was pretty and attractive little Miss Hen rietta Racck, and as she took the witneas chair Neal 'became exceedingly nervous. She was the petite seamstress whom N met at the Wisconsin house on Monday, February 8, when he went there for supper. She saw him the next day in Omaha. It was about 1l o m, and he was coming out of Van Cott’s jewelry store tow- ard Milton Rogers' place. ~ He was carryine adouble barrelled shot gun. They never had spoken together and she didn’t thinl it trange that he did not speak to her, and then, 100, he was going along with his head down, or at least he was looking down a8 if thinking very intently. She next saw him on Wodnesday, and witness went on to relate a number of minor occurrences in re- sponse to cross-questioning by couusel for defense. H. Kolbert of South Omaha testified to secing defendant on February 6 and selling him a lady’s gold watch and plain gold ring for §65, Witness identified the ring Neal traded to him. When pinned down on cross- examination as to his ability to positively | Connors. identify the plain gold ring Neal had bought of bim, witness said he would swear that if the ring was eighteen carats and weighed six pennywoights and a nalf and was plain gold he could identify it. « Leroy Jones, a little grandeon of the mur- dered people, was put on the stand. He had seen the ring worn by s grandmother and Mr. Mahoney showed him the ring that Neal traded to Kolbert and asked him 1f that was his grandmothor's ring v looks very much lik child, “Can you posit grandmother's ring loney. No, sir, Tcan vot; but I think, yes Ido think 1t is tho same ring.” ‘The witness was dismissed and Mr. Jones was recalled to identify the old overcoat, and Mr. Cadwalader and Coroner Harrigan to identify ~ the coat en from the body of old Mr. Jones. They identified the garments. Mr. Mahoney then told the court that he was done. Mr. Gurley said that the defense had no wit- nesses. Then Mr. Mahoney moved that the prisoner be held to the district court without bail. Squire Morrison spent several minutes looking over notes that he had made during he exammnation. While doing so he as ked, aside, that a blank mittimus be sent for. This request seemed virtually to settle the question as to What he was going to decide upon. When the biank arrived Squire Morrison called Mr. Mahoney to his desk, and a mo- ment later the lattér proceeded to fill it out. ‘The court then took it, and calling Mr. Gur~ ley forward, said: 'he prisoner will be held to the district court without bail,” and the preliminary exammation of Neal was over. Counsel for the defonse seemed to take the announce- ment in a matter-of-fact way, as if he had expected such would be the result. Neal drew a long breath, looked unconcerned and whistled gaily to a hittle dog that happened 10 run past him. 5 Just after the proceed:ngs closea Mr. Ma- honey announced that ull witnesses wore e pected to call at 'Squire Morrison’s oftice and give bond for their appearance at the trial. As they are all so well known he said that their own recognizance would be ac- copted. When asked by a reporter when he thought Neal's trial would occur, Mr. Mahoney ro plied: “Ishall have it just as soon as possi- ble—the first of April, I hope.” t," roplied tho that this continued Mr. is your Ma- AS REGARDS SHELL RGER Chief Abbey o a ¥ Nebraska Osty Corrects W Dates.

The at- tendance was large, over ono hundred men being present. Mr. Allen presided and Mr. Stringer acted as secretar, The situation was discussed by the men and a cheerful feeling prevailed. The secre- tary read commuoications from neighboring cities gving words of consolation. The committee appointed at the last meet- ing to wait on the man: ent of tho telo- phone company made its report. Its chairman,Mr. Dent, stated that the manager haa agreed to correspond with the local managers in Denver, St. Paul, Des Moines, St. Joseph, St. Louis and Kansas City in order to secure a schedule of wages, and from them be would take an average and pay the Omahaemployes accordingly. The report was satisfactory to the men, and all of them will go to work this morning.

It opened with an inquiry into a matterin which William Sidell, a pipoman of No. 6 hose cart, was charged with using ry bad language toward a motor man and stopping motor cars for spite by unnecessarily laying hose across the track, Sidell ne forward und gave a lenethy and what scemed to be a very plaus- 1ble explanation of the affuir, which in any event vroved of little or no interest what- ever to the general public, Anot! fireman, George Crager of No. 2 truck, was upon the charge of being absent from duty an hour, aud insubordination, preferred by Chief Galligan. Crager said chut at the time alluded to he had reccived word tnat his motuer, living in a distant part of the city, was taken suddenly ill, and he asked tne chief to let him go home and see her, but was refused, Then he telephoned mmissioner Bennett, and while doing suid that Chief Gualligun poked him away from the phone, toro his coat and then put him out of tue enging house, Chiet Galligan did some very pointéd talking when Crager had finishea giving the commission his side of the story, and the chief made out an entirely different and one which seemed to support Lis charges fully espec. ily in viow of a large amount of testimony hicn finally substantiated them, Assistant” City Attorney Shoemaker stenped to the front at this point and said ho wauted to be beard on some charges which appeared in @ certan evening paper, the World-Herald. He talked very fast said that such outrageous charges as preferrea aguinst every city official, and himself in particular, ought not not to pass unnoticed for a single day. He, for one, didn’t propose to stand it and he wanted the board to thoroughly understand the fuct. ‘The board didh't take wuch notice of Mr, Shoemaker’s little speech, and immediately pro to consider the protests against John S, Prince beig granted a license to run a bar in the Coliseum, Dr. Lord, one of the remonstrauts, came forward and told the board that he had signod the remon- strance becauso he tionght there were quite enough of saloons out there now. Ha said that the Colisoum was already becom ing too great a resort for sporting and drinking men and fast blonde bhaired wowen, He knew that the sentiment of the residents of the noighborhood was heartily acainst the open ing of auother saloon, or even those already there. The doctor was ssked to take the list of remonstrants and tell the board whore they lived, 8o fu> us ho knew. He did so, the reault being that the board learved that while a number of the signers lived within three or four blocks of the oliseum, many of them lived pthree, four and even fivo times that distance away W. I othor of those who signed the protest, told the board that the protest Wwas gotten up 4t a meetwg of Coliseum ing oi the stockholders represouting 225 shares, or n | minority of the stock, Manager Prioco hitfiself then told the board that he had met with wide encourage- mont in oponing # fast class bar at tho southeast corner of the building. Council< man Bailey, Judue Sbfefds aud many other woll known gentlemen had encouraged him to go uhead. By mere accident Manager Prince said that he had not happened to run against any of these stéckholders who had signed the prote Ho said he proposed to continue to run the Coliseum in strictly Hrst class shape.

A resolution passed by the Public Im- provement club of Lowe's addition was read asking for two fire alarm boxes out thore, and referred to the committee on property and Chief Galligan.

Propositions to furnish six new patrol baxes and for lowering engine house No. b wero referred to the committee on property. Attorney Shoemaker was then given a hearing. He proceeded to road the articlo to which he nad previously referred, und weat on to demand that theso charges be 10- vestigated. Mr. Gilbert spoke up and suid that he was the commissioner referred to, mod he asked: *Who do you want investigated " “I want you investigated 1f you're the " answered Shoemaker hotly. think we better investigate the World- Herald,” said Mr. Gilbert, smilingly. “Fact is,” continued Shoemaker, *'[ think the whole thing—which reads like rot—wus gotten up by the same irrespoasible reporter who got up a similar thing a little while ogo.” Continuing, Shoemaker talked vehemently. Fo said 1t was a lie when any« body said that he woulda't file informations or prosecute gamblers. Commissioner Smith tried to call the in- furiated talker down and told him he needn’t shake his finger at the board, and then tried w ask him a question, but Shoemaker wouldn’t be questioned, aud went on to say that he was running ono side of the police court and that he had always hoed his own row. ke said that the article charged that members of the police force were receiving money from gamblers and he demanded that thé polico force be investigated.

The thank offering which followed showed in what spirit the society had been working, and $45.60 was added to the treusury. Di Gilchrist, the secretary, then read a satisfactory history of tho society since organization November g Phe society organized with seventoen bers, The work of the society for the first year was the study of India and her paople and the mis- sion there, Also the boards of the church were discussed with great mterest. During the year 359 was given to home and foreizn boards and to the Cass street mission of this city., Sixteen members were added to the roll. Duriug the second year the mis- sions among the freedmen and Indians were considered, and the one at Alexandria was not forgotten. Dr. Andrew Watson of the 1gyptian mission at Cairo gave a short but profituble talk on the work of the mission there. The paper on ‘“‘Consceration” reud by Miss Belle McCulloch at the public meet- ing Fobruary 2 was so well prepared that the society requested it to be published in the Woman's Magazine. Three new mem- bers were added to the roll. The charitable work of the society was carried on in the right spirit. Five quilts were made, two of which were sent to Allegheny City, one to Rushville, Neb., and two remained in the hands of the society.
