FIVE SWALL PIECES OF SCALP, A Famous Bart Oounty Trial in Which Mr Poppleton Was Engaged. EX-COURT REPORTER'S REMINISCENCES. Bome Very Intercating Incidents in the Legal Oarcers of Judge Redick, Judge Lnke and Judge Doane. In Novombher, 1870, there occurred at To- kamah, Nob, one of the most interesting trinls ever held In the west ve Winne- bago Indians were indi for the killing of a young man named Munson in Dixon county while he was engaged in plowing on his homestead with & yoke of oxen. Munson wis living alone and several days passed aftor the murder before ho was missed, and upon arch being made by the fow sottlers in the vicinity the hody, with the head lacking, was found concealed in the long grass of a ueigl boring slough. The ab tracted atter to t bago Indians whose reservati re in that section of the country. Tnquiry disclesed th tact that several young men of the tribe last named had been absent from the r for a few days at the time Munson was missing, and a_caroful search resulted in the discovery of fiva small pieces of a white mon's scalp, the hair being of the same color as M number of young Indians wore arrested and five were held for trial in the district court for Burt county, the pre- liminary cxamination being held’ at Wost Point. ; In order to secure to these Indians all their egal rights a societyin Philadelphia engaged Mr. Poppleton of this city to defend them and also out a bright young attorne; from the Quaker city to nssist him. 1 was sent up by the Omaha Herald to report the The court, Judge Crounse presiding, was hold on the upper floor of a rickety, two- story “balloon frame cottonwood building, tho ~ siding being of boards nailed up and down and battened. The town ad but @& scant population, aund the streets were well filled with Omaha and Winnebago Indians—far outnumbering the whites, and there was every reason to app hend dificulty in case the Indiuns saw fit interfere with the progress of the trial R. Hopewell, now one of the judges of district, assisted District Attorney B. Gray in the prosceution. Tho Omaha and Winne son's sent to M this o rt room was packed from the beginning to the end of the trial with whites and Iudians, and the night sessions of the court presented a spccially wierd and dramatic _appearance. One of the pieces ) showed an in dentation, and afte know Munson had testifiec that theso bits of sealp had ! gray-haired mother ased was put upon the stand ot scalp were handed b n profound sil she them, with the tears ro and then testified that she was sure thoy had come from the head of her murdered boy, explaining the indentation in one of them by stating ho had been thrown from a horso several years proyiously, receiving an injury on the hiead which lft a permanent mark. Among tho witnesses examined was an Indian woman known as Winnebago Jane who, in answer to questions, indicated a total Iguorance of the English language, and a loug and tedious examination followed — every question and answer being given through an Indian imterpreter—at the conclusion of which she was told to step aside. As sho rose from her chair to leave the stand she caused a ronr of faughter by the query, in plain English: “Then you dow't wart uy. hing more out of me!” To the people of the town and vicinity her familiarity with the English tongue was well known and the lid expression she assumed as she sat on the witness stand_during the slow process of tonvertivg English into Indian and Indian Into English, had been very amusing to those present who ‘were posted as to the situation. Mr. Poppleton was then in the full vigor of life, with no superior in the profession of which he has been a distinguished member in Nebraska since 153, His fame extended all over the state and the desive to see and hear him on an_occasion so memorable was sufticient to bring to the little town the set- tlers from many miles surrounding. He entered into the trial of the case with all of his well known zeal and earncstuess and those who then heard him carried away im- pressions never to be effaced. The cireum- stances, surroundings, the doubt as to the guilt of those particular Indians, the fact that they coutd not understand a word of tho testimony without its beine interpreted mto their own tongue, and the anxiety of tlie settlers as to the course the Omabas and Winnebagoes might pursue in case the pris- aners wero convicted, all contributed to put Mr. Poppleton at his best, and never were iho legal rights of any one more closoly Fauarded than wers on that occasion thoso of hose five representatives of the Indian race, essing neither wealth, influence or sta’ on. Goorgo B.

The third district was prosided over by Judge rounse first and afterwards by Judge Maxwell, now and for many years & member of the supreme court, included ali of the state north of the Platte (excepting the two counties named)—a territory as lurge as sevoral of the eastern states combined. Henry E. Maxwell of this city, of the firm of Lake, Hamilton & Max-vell, is a son of the ludxn, inheriting the sterling character of the atter and a special fitness for the logal pro- fession. When tho constitution of 1886 went into effect Judge Lake was elected to the bench oi the supreme court and of this district, the higher court being then composed of the three district judges, but the constitution of 1575, having provided for a separation of these courts, he was elected to the supreme bench in November of that year, and James W. Savage became his successor on the dis- trict bonch. As a lawyer Judge Lake had Mtained distinction, and his service as judge was oqually notable. Tn the prompt disputch of business Judge Dillon of the United States oourt, is, perhaps, the only judge holding ourt'in Omaha to e compared with him, He was always on hand to the moment in opening court, and the daily sessions were geuerally carried on until 6 o'clock in the evening, with night sessions a frequent oc- currence. He was four times elected a mem- ber of the territorial legislature, sorved Douglas county in the constitutional conven- ton of 1571, and was a member of the su- preme court continuonsly from January, 1867, natil January, 1854, eight years of which timé he was the chief justice. ~ In 183 ho was inted by Judge William Pitt Kellogg toaid district Attorney Charles Brown in the prosecution of Cyrus W. Tator, the first man legally exceuted i Douglas county, and in 1808, “as district jadge, passed sentence of death upon Otway G. Baker, the second man hung in this county by process of law 1d, by the way, the last to this date. Judge Lake ‘was the first of tho district judges of the state to appoint & reporter under the law of 1875, which be did at Lincoln April 15, 1875, at which time tho writer was sworn as such oficial and performed the dutles of the position until Octover, 1885, when he resigned. Judge Lake took an motive part in local affairs in an early day, #s shown by the fact that be was tendered l:r an appreciative community, an_important place in the quiet and unosicntatious cere- monies attendant upon the lynciing of Bovee, in March, 1861, but this " distinction bo respectfally declmed. Judge John 1. Redick was for years a con- spicious member of the Douglas county bar, and was particularly successful in jury cases, where his fund of humor was espec- fally eftective. I remember one instanc where he disposed of a witness for the other side of the case by referring to him in the argument as the witness who bud a *‘head on him like the head of & cane.” Of courso a man with a head of that sort could not be bo- lievea on cath by any self-respecting jury. everal yoars ago he was callod as an “ex pert’’ n'logal churges ina case on trial in the United States court whoere some Lincoln lawyers wero trying to securo pay for their servicos in an oxtended htization over the ownership of a tract of land adjoining the city of Lincoln, and known as *'tbe disputed elghty.” The ent of these lawyers refused to pay their vill on the ground that it was an excessive charge.

Frost in a litigation which ex- tendad over a long period of time in both the state and United S yurts, wherein Mr. F'rost sought to obtain from the Union Paci- fic railroad company &0,000 us commissions on purchases made’ by him for the company as its purchasing agent in the construction the road. Ho liad been paid a salary for his services, but claimed the amount named in addition. Before coming to Omaha in the employ of the railvoad company he had been a Methodist minister. In giving his testi- mony ho cited ono instance on the occasion of a fréshet where e had worked all day Sun- day on the river front to prevent tho floating away of a large quantity of cottouwood ties which were lying along the bauk “What day was thist” inquired counsel “Sunday, responded the minister, “What! "you a mothodist minister and working on Sunday " inquired Judge Redick with a look of surprise and horror. M 6860 (1 T to do it to save the company’s property,” the witness re- plied promptly 1 took the testimony in this case several times in its various pliases, und the judge never failed to throw in this little dialogue or to omit the horrified cxpression of counte- nance over the dreadful disclosure. My recol- lection s that he finally sccured a verdict for $10,000 in the United States court and that Judge Dillon gave Mr. Irost the option of ceepting half that amount from the railroad company or risking his chuuces of another trial of ‘the case, and that the 5,000 was ac- cepted in full satisfaction of the claim, Judge Doane, when engaged in the prac tico, was unusiially ricid and exhaustive in the ‘taking of testimony and when he got through with a witness it was safe to say that not n serap or shred of information did tho latter possess with respect to the matter in dispute which had not_been wrung from him in response to Mr. Doanc's questions. He was an industrious and energetic lawyer and at the time of his election to the bench had built upa valuable and desirable pra producing au income far beyond the salary of a district judge. Upon locating in Nebraska in 1857 Judge Doane first resided at Decatur, moving to Fort, Caluoun in 1560 aud to Omaha four years later. Ho ropre- sented Burt, Washington and Sarpy coun- ties in the fifth session of the territorial log- islature and Douglas county at tho twelfth. his He was also a member of the state senate in 1881. 1In 1857 he was elected prosecuting attorney for this district and re-elected in 1 As prosceuting attorney for Douglas county in 1368 he proseeuted Baker, securing his conviction of the murder of Woolsey D.

Higgins of this city being the plaintiff and his father-in-law. o Washington county farmer, the defendant, The two were in partnership in the stock- raising business and found it necessary to callupon the court to adjust their differ- ences in an effort to close up the business. The case was pending in the court for Wash- ington county for half a dozen years, but finally Higzgins got it transferred to Douglas county, and my recollection is that that broke the spell and a verdict was reached at last, though I donot know which party won and the case had in the meantime become so complicated that it is doubtful whether cither the litigants or their counsel know who camo out abead. During nearly ail of the official term of Judge Suvage, a5 he journeyed on the train to hold his semi-annual sessions of court at Blair, the standing inquiry of the lawyers aboard would be: “Weli, are we going to dispose of Higgins vs Beals this time?"
