HE WAS IN AT THE DEATH. Ehellenberger Witnessed the Murder of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. AND WAS HIMSELF SHOT AT. Details of the Confession Madn to Chier Seavey-—Held to the District Conrt With- out Bail Shellenberger's Day. Yesterday was Shellenberger's day. s preliminary examioation began at o'clock in the morning. Tuere was no crowd of spectators, and if there had been, those composing it would have gono away geumbling. Justico Morri- #on, bef ore whom the prisoner was taken, decided that his oftice was too small for him 10 try to viease all who might come, There- fore, he ordered his bailiff to admit no speo- tators —and the order pleased all concerned in the case. Joe, the prisoner, came 1o his own show looking dirtier, his clothes more sadly askew. and yet, withall, fatter than when he was arrcsted. His small, dark eyes glis- tened but there was ouly sullenness in the rest of his festures. His farm hand clothes, checkered flannel shirt, and old, broad brimmed white hat, looked as if they had been slept in every night since their wearer's arrest. He looked as if he didn't care a cent for anybody or what anybody thought of him, and part'of the time either slept or appeared to be asleep. County Attorney Mahoney was on hand promptly. and Hon. John C. Watson, coun- sel for Shellenberger, was also there. Mr. and Mrs. Cadwallader of Council Bluffs, the latte a daughter of the mnr. dered couple, and Councilman Chapman of raska City, whose wife is a cousin of sed, were also in attendanco. County Attorney Mahoney began the ex. amination of witnesses without a moment's dolay, first calling Nathan Jones, a son of the deceased from Irvington, who reiterated Dis statements of the day previous at Neal's examination. As Mr. Jones left the stand, Mr. Watson remarked to Mr. Mahoney: “You need con- sume no time whatever in proving a corbus dolicti.” “Very well,” said Mr. Mahonoy. “What I want,” said Mr. Watson, “is the testimony agaiust the young man, if you have any." Chief Scavoy was theo called by Mr. Ma- honey and sworn. He said that on March 21 he had a taik with Shollenberger and that G. I. Gilbert was present and that Mr: Seavey was also there and took Shellen berer's statement in shorthand. When he approached the sabject of the confession yade by Shellenberger on March3,Mr. Wat- #on intcrrupted to say that he preferred to liave the statement come in answer 1o ques- tions put by himself. *Very well,” said Mr. Mahoney, and Mr. Watson proceeded to put questions, and tho chief to reply. “Who wus present when the statement was made? My wife, who took the answers down in shorthand, and G. L Gilbert, an attorney.” *'Did you have those questions and answers transcribed did.” ou have them in your hands now?” ‘Yes, sir.”! “Did you tell him during that statement- waking that ke must not_tell you anything that would convict himsel#!” T did not, sir, because he only told me about his whereabouts from the time he left the juil in Logan for stealing horses.” “Now wive us that statcment made on March 8 and let the paper alone.” [ want to refresh my memory. “'Spose you go right ahead without ro~ treshing your memory.’” 1l right. ©1e had sent for me.” 's the statement you may give me." “Well, Shellenberger commenced by say- fug he looked on me as a father and—'" i“l'h('ru Was N0 One present except your- melf?” 10 “Your wife wasn’t there?"” “No, sir.” Mr. Gilbert wasn’t there?” o, sir.” No'one overheard you?” *'I don'v think anybody did."” You took Shellenberger's ourself?’ In shorthand?” “No, sir. I took longhand. I can write a great deal faster than he talks,” I guess you needn’t go any further, and if the court pleases, this sort of confession, nade to the chief alone, and by the pamping process, should not be admitted.” Mr. Muhonoy came to his feet to say that, under the circumstances, such_an _objection was scarcely worth arguing. Shellenberger had sent for the chief and told him what he did, voluntarily, and it was therefore proven that he was not pumped. ‘I he court ruled in favor of the chief going on witk the report of tho confession, and the lutter did so. The chisf first attempted to give the sub- stance of the story, but foand that he might et mixed as to the dates, and was finally vermitted to read the statement. The story Was & most start- ling one = and justified the ox- clusive report in THe Bee some days ago that Shellenberger had acknowledged being & purty to the murder. statement Shellenberger's Confession. I'he statement which was mado volun- tarily to Chief Seavey and after the admu sion that he (Shellenberger) wanted to teil him the truth, 18 as follows: “I first saw Kid Neal, after he was sont to the lowy penitentiary, in Nebraska City, about eight or mine day duys before the mur- der at the Pioney farm. He was oo the sidewalls aloue on Main street near the Otoe County National bank, about 3 o’clock p. m. He told me'his true name was Charles Mil- Jard, and invited me to come up to Omaha and see hun. I don’t remember where in Owmaba he sad he was hiving. He mentioned sowething about gomg to Lincoln wnd Kansas City. 1 promised to como - and meet him in Omaha ewly in the week. February 1, 1came to Omaba on the Kansas City & St Joe even- jug train, the day before the murder, and stopped at Council Bluffs. The next morn- juir | came over to Omaha on the dummy. About 9 o'clock I went up town und met al about 10 o'clock on —— street. After swliing to Neal some time, he |[Neal] said, .ot us go and take & ride. 1 have got a place 10 go to and 1 want you to go with we.' “Neal then went and got two saddle horses and brought them to where I was. He was gone about half un hour. Ho said the horses belonged to him. We then got mto the sad- Qles and rode away. ftor riaing in a south-westerly direc tion for a little while, I asked nim where be was goiug. He drew a revolver and pointed at my head and said: ‘This, means business. Cowme along with me.” “After gotting outside of the city, we rode four or five miles in a south-westerly direc tiou. He then said, ‘I am going to do some work tonight, and if you ever give it away I will kill you deader than hell.’ “*Neal kept his revolver in his hand all the time after he threatened to kill me. He stopped to tighten the saddle girth on the road and again sald if 1 dared to make o he would kill me then and there, 1 was afraid he would kill we, as he had threatencd to many times before when we were prisoners togother at Logan, “l knew he was & dangerous man becuuse he told me he had killed a wan in Whitman, Nebraska, before he ' for stealing horses 1b lowa in od him what he was going to do. wred, ‘I am gowg to do some bad work,” aud then asiked meo 1t 1 was a good hund to drive cattle, ‘Weo wet no parties on the road and ar- rived at the farm where the people were killed about dusk.

Neal knocked at the door, which was opened by the old man who said 10to the house first, the third man second, and T last. “By watching the movemonts I began to got frightened. A few words wers passed about the weather, when Neal seized the old man by the throat and struck him over the - head with his revolver, knocking him scnseless. At the same time the tbird man grabbed the old lady and threw her on the bod. Neal struck the old lady and shot her in the head, I think. p “At the same time, she exclaimed, ‘Oh, dear! and never spoke ufter the shot. All this time I tried to get to the door, but Neal kept his eye on me, saying ‘Stay back, you e T B T S T 'Neal opened the door, grabved the old man, who now became conscious and tried to cry out. Neal hit him again and shot him and dragged him out of doors, asking me to help l;]lm. I refused, and said that I would die rat. “When I refused to take hold of the old man, Neal shot at me and cut the tassel off my hat band. [The hat band was examined, and there was no tassel found on Shellenberger’s hat.] “Neal dragged the old man to the hay stack and fired two or more shots that looked to me as if they were fired into the body of the old man. : “‘Neal made me stay rigat by him.

Neal cautioned him not tolet ‘Joe' get away. to which the third man rephied ‘I will take care of him.’ Neal then went back to whero the bodies lay, saying, I want to at- tend to this matter myself,’ and remainea there some time. I couid not see for the darknass what Neal was doing. “It was now somewhere beuween 9 and 10 o'clock. 1 opened the gate at the request of Neal.

I am not certain, but I think it was Monday night, February 3, that the murder was commitied. “The horse [ rode was a dark bay blind horse; think the horn was broken off the dle. The horse Neal rode was a sorrel.”” The third man,” said Chief Seavey, ‘‘is described as about thirty years old, wore a mustache, sandy complexion, freckles on his face, reddish sandy hair, weight about one hundred and sixty-five pounds, old black slouch hat, wore ducking cout, red mittens, palms covered with leather.” When the confession had been read Mr. Mahoney had Chief Seavey identify a pair of overalls found in Shellenberger’s valise. Recurring to the confession, counsel for prisoner closely questioned Chief Seavey regarding little 0dds aad ends, technicalitics in_counection with it. ‘The chief said that Sbellenberger reiter- ated the truth of the confession in the pres ence of Mr. Gilbert, who had been sent for 10 listen to and acknowledge the statement. *“I'he next day, after wmaking this sta ment,” continued Chief Seavey, *“Joe sent for me again and denied that it was true and asked for a testament.

The examination was then adjourned to 2 p. m. on the Alternoon Sossion, The examination was continued in the afternoon by Chief Seavey being recalled by Mr. Watson who asked for the stenographic confession propared oy Mrs. Seavey.

Con- tinuing, Detectivo Horrigan detailed his fruitless efforts toinduceShellenberger to talk a8 printed exclusively by Tue Bee the day after the arrest. He also had conversations with him in Omaha. Oob I'ebruary 3 witness haypened to get into Chief Scavey's office and found Chief Detective Haze and Shel: lenberger in there. The former told witness that Joe had made a statement. ~Then wit- ness closed the door, and he and Haze got up close to Joe and witness asked Joo: **Where did you first meet Neal!"” “In_Nebraska City, and made a date to meet Neal in Omaha the next aay.” “Joe couldn’t remember,” said the wil- ness, “the date, The next day he, Joe, said he came up to Conncil Bluffs. That night he came over to Omaua, met Neal and at night went out on horsevack to the Pinney farm. Joe said the killing was done about 10 o’'clock, tbat the old man was knocked down first, that Neal aid the shoot- ing, and that the blood ou his overalls came came from his helping to drag the bodies. After the deed was done, he said, he tinally kot away from Neal and a man named Glover, who helped in the Job, aud taking a train went back to Nobrasika City.” Mr. Watson cross-examined Mr. Horrigan briefly. Mr, Mahoney then announced that the state rested. Mr. Watson immediately moved that his client be dismissed on the point that the state had made out no case; that the statutes said that when the evidence was not thought sufMcient, as a justice thought, to convict, the prisoner should not be bound over. Procceding, Mr. Watson went over the principal feaf ures developed so far, and said that he did mot think the case would ever be tried, if docketed, in the dis- trict court. - He disposed of Shellenberger’s startling confession by the simple remark that the prisoner was 80 ignorant. Mr. Maboney followed and cited numer- ous authorities. He emphasized with great force that the examining magistrate need see but probable cause for holding the pris- oner over. The law does not say that the magistrate shall usurp the funciions of @ jury—by no means. Shellenberger had con- fessed to an exceedingly probable course. The county attorney said that h3 certainly should try the prisoner if he was bound over, notwithstanding Mr. Watson's proph- ecy to the contrary. Mr. Watson made a few remarks after Mr. Mahoney had concluded. 1t then took the court less than a minute to decide to hold the prisover to the district court, without bail, to answer to the charge of murder in the first degree. i iakls Courtships average three tons of coal each, and scores of bad coughs and colds; but then every prudent gallant is provided with a bottle of Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup, which ©o8ts ouly 25 cents.

Tur Ber's announcement Monday evening of the decision of tne supreme court of the Unitea States in the mutter of the East Owaha Land company vs Thomas Jeffries, was interesting, as it practically settles the question of title to about four hundred acres of land in the bottoms. The suit was brought by the company in question against ‘Thomas Jeffries, who ciaimed forty acres of ground formed by the accretions from this and over on the north side of the Kast Omaha land company’s pos— sessions. The company based its suit on the claim that the ground belonged to it by rea- son of the original deed in which the lin®s on the east and west of the property were described us extending from & given line “‘north to the river.” It also claimed the title ana ownership of any land formea by the aceretions to the present location of the river. Judge Brewer decided the case in favor of the land company last November and his decision has been sustained by the supreme court. The land involved north and west possessions between of lowa in 1851 is a strip lying the company's the meaunder line and the meander line of Nebraska in 1870 as described by government surveys. The strip comprises about four hundred acres which is now valued, 1nviow of the extensive improve-, ments ' contewplated by the company, av $1,000 an acre. There are about twenty- five squatters on the property and suit will be commenced in.the courts by the land company for their ejectment. Strong Language. B.

The general opinion prevails among tho patrons of the Coliseum and those who have the success of the building in view that to allow the running of a saloon in connection with the structure will prove & grave mis- take. “It should not be tolerated fora mo- ment,” said & well known putron of the house. “‘The Coliseum veople desire to cater to the best element of our citizens, and 10 Inaugurate a saloon as an aonex to the affur would hurt it more than auy one other thing that could happen.

The Election Proclamation. It 1s getting around to the time when the proclamation calling the city eloction will have to be publishea aud Mayor Sloane is busy looking up some legal points involved betore he issues it. The school boara ques- tion is the main one, and the mayor wants to be thoroughly satistied, befora the call is made, whether the board is to consist of nine or six memhers after April 1. On this point tnere is a differonce of opinion among local legal lights, sowe contending that Superio- tendent Lane is wrong in his construction of the school law as applied to cities of the flrat class, When the question 1 settled to Mayor Sloan's satisfaction the election proc- lamation will be forthcoming.

She was visiting friends here and was out for a drive, accom- panying W. G. Bohu and his son and Miss Jennie Adams. As the party turned on to Leavenworth street from Sixtesuth they collided with a motor car ana were thrown from the carriage with the exception of Mrs. O'Linn. Mr. Bohn in falling dragged the lines out of the carriage. The: team, a 8pir- ited span of bays, dashed out Leavenworth at a pace that threatened destruction to the carriage and its occupants.
