This 1s about what those interosted proclaiim they can prove, When the suspected on have their hearing the truthfulness or unthruthfuiness of the clatm will bo proven. I'ho motive it is said for removing Mayor Miilor was bocause ho haa declared war upon tho gambling bouses and intended 1o not nermit their running again in Soath O maha duricg nis_administration. his is what those say who balicve the mavor was mur- dered and they wili spizo no effort to prove that such is the cas, Ahout the Prisoners, Dicik Berlin, one of tho men under arrest, isa young man not over 80 years of age. Ha hias been in South Omaha’ for two or three vears and has conductod a_ large eambling houso during that time, e closed down when Mayor Miller's order was issued and has not reopened, although he had refittea and rofurnished his place, and expicted to tesume business in a short time. Charles Hays, tho olhor suspect, is also about 30 vears of aze and is unmarviod. e is a gambler and has been 1n Soutn Omaha sinco laat May. Ho has been there several {mes previous to tho last visit. His paronts side noar Malvern, [a. Hays was scen at'the jail last night by a Bre reporter, just as ho was proparing to ¢ murdered Mayor t2, I, Miller on the after- noon of Tuesday, Octobar 4. The two men were arrested at South Omaha by Deputy Sheriff Beunett, Detective Hus and Chief Beckett of South Omaha. ‘The complaint charaing Borlin and Hays with the murder of South Omaha's chiol executive was filed by County Attorney Maboney with Police dudge Borka shortly wfter 12 ’clock vesteraay. Thelate m wife signed the complaint. After being supplied with warrants tho officers went to South Omaha tn search of their men. Hays was found at Twenty-soveush and N stroots, but was not molested at tho Llime, a waieh being kept upon his movements, while the offlogrs visited Berlin’s home at ‘I'wenty-fourth and R streets in the Thomas flats, When Chief Beckott kuocked at tha door ho was admitted by a servant, Bennett and Hud son remaining out of view in the hallway. The latter officers anticipatod troublo in securing Barlin, but in this they wore happily dissappointed, terln was still in bed. A few minutes ufter Chiel Beckett entered tho frout room the wanted man aopeared partially dressed. In the meantime the other ofticers had eitoced and Dotective Hudson read the warrant for Berlin’s arrost. Ho smiled ploasautly as the oficer procerded” with tho reading, buv when the word murder was pronounced he realized s unfortunate position and com- plotely gave away. Berlin Broke Down. With tears streaming dowa Berlin said: My God, men, 1 know nothing about It! Miller? Not 1n conuection witn Mayor Miller’s death, is it§” When informed that such was the chaige he gave away more to his feelings and ap- parently was suffering greatly, Ho asked permission to dress himself, which was granted, and, stepping into a rear room, in- formed his wife of what had transpired in the room where the officers weve in waiting. Mrs. Berlin was compiotoly prostrated by the news broken to her by her husband. Tne ofticers took Berlin in a closed car- riage aud went back to N street to secure Hauys, tho other suspect, o was found near Beothum & Willlams' saloon on N streot, Detective Huilson read the warrant to him and repeated its readings, Hays requesting it, eaying ne did not undorstand. When the swarrant bad been read the second time ifnys fnguired the dute the crime was comuwitted. When tola it was October 4, ha simply re plied that ho was iunocent, He maintained astolid aypearance, and did not show tno least surprise nor fear. He stepped into tho waiting carriage and away whirled the ofticers townrd tho county jail with the sus pects. So quickly and quietly was the work ver formed that no one guessed the cause of the earringe vide, and Ltwus some time after- wards bLefore the news was whispered sround. son his choeks Surprised South Omana, The arrest of Berlin ana Hays was & great surprise. ‘I'be theory of suicide had been so enerally accepted i connection with Mayor ilier’s untimely demiso that no thoughts were entertained of making a murder out of the case, and tho subsequent arrest of two men coarged with being the murderers. Buortly after Mavor Miller's death thoso who believed ho bad been murdered made up u purse for the purpose of clearicg up the mystery. Detectives were secured ana put 10 work upon the case, and the result of theiv labors is in the arrest of the two sus- mcmu men yesterduy. TI'hose who have en devong timo aud money to tho aro reticent regarding the chiin of evidenco which has oveen secured, and réfuse to muswer any inquivies, They stontly main taln that whon the evidence is given in court it will bo enongh to convict the two suspected men of the crime, ‘Those who bave held to the murder theory huve il along suspected and pointed to Ber- liu and Hays us knowing something of tho mystery surrounding Mayor Miller's doath. Tt was only wise couusel which prevented their arvest some time ago. ‘P'he two men tire. The prisoner is confined in a coll at the northeast corner of the upper tier of cells 1 the west wing of the prison. When the called him Hays siepped prompily to rred door and bid the reporter a ploas- ant zood evening, He then proceoded 1o tell tho reporter what he knew about his arrest and how he spent the tlime that day and uight. Hays Tells TS Story, “Nly arrost was a graat surprise to ma," said Hays, “aud 1 can hardly understund it though as you see lam trying to make tho bost of an unpleasant mistake. Ou the after- noon of October 4 I left South Omaha with a coupie of friends and spent twoor three hours in town. My friends did not leave o all the time I was away from home. Aloug about 4 o'clock we ok a car at the Paxton and rode back to South Onaha,” When asked who accompanied him on that afternoon trip the prisonor said chat Charles Uarris, o roof painter, and Jacle Maher, an employe of oue of the packing houses, were his companions. “What did you do in the evening?” “After supper,” satd Hays, “I camo over to the city and went to Boyd's theater 1o seo ‘A 'Trip to Africa,’ and the tirst 1 heard of Mayor Miller's death was on a car going home gfter the show.” “How long have you known Borhn#" Tus Ber man asked. “I am only slightly acquainted with him, having met nim ouly ov table. 1 am a sailor and came hore from the Pacific coast last May to visit my sister, Mrs, George Deaver, who lives at the corner of T'wenty-fourth und M streets. 1 was not persoually acquainted with Mr, Mitler and never spoko to him in my lif merely knew him by sight. 1 aminnocent of tue crime [ am charged with.” Hays asked tno sheriff, who was standing near by, when and how soon he would bave s hearing, When he was told that ho probably oo arraigned in a day or so be ap- peared much pleased and remaried that the sooner he was called into court tha better ho would like it, as he w: ixious to get out. So far Hays has not retained un attorney. Borlin Did Not Care to Tulk, A visit was next paid fo the large coriidor below, where Beriiu stood talking with sey- cralof the inmates. He was culled aside and told the object of the newspaperman’s call. In reply Bertin safa that bo bad en- zaged W. I'. Gurley to look after nis inter- estw, and acting upon the ndvice of his coun- sel would have to decline to talik about the watter at oli. Berlin_appeared to be quite cheerful, and did not seem to fear the con- sequences of a trial, When Mitler Was Killed. Along towards ovening on Tnesday, Octo- bor 4, two little girls returning homo from pickiLg coal near the smolting works discov- ered the body of a man lying in_ths woeds ulongside 1ighth street just north of Dodg An alarm was given and o couple of polie men hastened to the loczlity to investicate They found o man lying near the little vath through the weeds, t'he faco was covered with ~ blood and & revolver lay close by his side. Wnon tho patrol wagzon with & strotener arrived ono of the oflicers identified the body as toatof C. P. Miller, wayor of South Omaha. As quickly and tenderiv as possible tno dying man was re- moved to the Mothodisi hospiral. Mayor Miller was unconscious from tho time he was found until 4 o'clock on the afternogn of October b, whon ho died The wayor's pockets haa not been rifled and that faot vather strengtnened the theory of suicide, Tho local and South Omeha detectives went 10 work on tho case and traced Miller's movewent from the time he left the Magic City to withia a few bours of the time the body wus found, ‘Phe near friends and rola tives of the deceased scouted the suicide theory. At the inquest, which lasted six days, many witnesses were examined, in cluding people who bad claimed to bave bourd a_ shot duriuz the afternoon, Tha movroing after the erimo Leopold labo: witeh, a pawabroker ot 1109 Doags street, identilied the revolver as one Mr. Miller had rentod of him the nignt before. At the in quest the pawnbroker took vack all he had suid und declared that he had been wrong in his description of the man. He then do- clared that s man in 4 gray cout had pro- cured the rovolver.

BRIGGY' LACK OF FAITH] Proosedings in His Trial for Hore the New York Prasbytery, y Befora GREAT INTEREST IN THE PROCEEDINGS Or. Briggs Po Charges Fa Ty Friends Win and Seven Are Stricken the Count -The bes Yesterday, t= from biato NEW Yok, Nov. 30.—Tho presbytory this afternoon resumed tho trial of 1°rof. The floor was at oncs aceordad the prosecut- ing committee to state its position on Prof Eriggs' objections to the cusrges, and bis | demand that numbers four aud seven boe stricken out. Dr. Briggs' friends and opponents alike realized that a cesis was imminent and evory step in today’s proceedings was followod with intonse interost. Scores of thy lay and clerical jurors provided themselves with the presbytery roll 10 order to chuck off tho names of the absontees and thus bs enabled to foracast, if possible, the regult of the test vote, which was soon to bo tukeun on the question of striking oat two of ths charges which the prosecuting committee had pro- ferred ngainst him. Tho sassion was favorod with the preseuce of Rev. William U, Young of Centor cotlege, moderator of the geucral assembly. In accordanco with Dr. Bliss' request the distinguished visitor lod in vrayer, - Moderator Bliss announced that tha busi- ness bofore the court was tha consideration of the motion to strike out the two charges roferred to, and then Atexandor, who offered the motion, had tho floor, That presbyterian 1o was willing to yield the floor to ating commiiteo to learn whether it had decided to abandon or to press the churges, * onje De. Bootih mado the point of order that the protest made by Dr. Briggs vesterday was a menace to the oxisteace of thy court and could not, thorefore, be considerad. Tae moderator made no ruling point. Cotunel McCook thon rose and reed the opinion of the commities on the motion, and argued that the two charges could not bo dropped. In referenco o chargo seven, Cotonol McCook said that Dr. Briggs’ answer was irrelevant, because aithough he had aflirmad before the professors of tho Unioa seminary that he believed that one who died unpenitent was forever lost, he had sitco promulgated bis theory of progrossive sanct- ilication 12 his inaucural address, and it was oo the address, that the charge was founded. The fourth charge could not be droppad, be- causo Dr. Briges' denial of the fulfiliment ot the details of propticey was o demal of the bible and an lmpeactimeat of tae omnipo- tence of God Dr. Alexandar inierrapted Colonel Me- Cook by insisting that the committecmen had o right to argue the question, aud Colo- nel McCook resuimed nis seat. Dr. Brizgs took the floor and said that one of Colonel McCook's points was hased on a typographical error in_the printed copy and must 02 dropped. He declared that the offer made yesterday to waive bis objoction to the six other objections was maide con- aitionally. Dr. liobinson, the great hymn writer, wanted to know what the conditions were. He was auswered by Dr. VanDyke, and corrohorated by the defendant, that the condition was that the cuargos which em- bodied two separats counts should be divided. Tho pastor of the church in which the trial is being neld moved that the com- mitteo charges bo considored seviatim, and that until the fourth charge was reachsd the motion to strike it out bs laid ou the table, This motion was lost and Dr. Awexunder’s motion to striko out charge four was taken up. ted to Dr. Briggs' Protest, on the Charged Unfairness, Prof. Brown of the Union foremost of Dr. Briggs’ supporters, 1ook the floor, tle said that the committee had acted unfairly in quoting pert of Dr. Briggs’ statements and taking them o Droper connection, “Any minister,” he said, vently, “could be proved a heretic by this course,.” . Calls for the question resounded through the room, but Dr. J300th submitted that the other side might bo permitted to have some thing to say. **\Wearo uot prepared to mai tain that an enlargement which mercly explains a charge is no matter.” 1ully fifteon minutes were taken by Dr W hodd, who definad tho meanmg of the word “@isclaimer.’ ' A laugh was precipituted by his statement that Dr. Briggs was nev guilty of faisehood, but of set contrudiction. Dr. Hastings, the venerable presideut of the faculty with which the defendant is con- nected, did not mince words in claiming that the chirgo contained new matter. Said ho: *I'he change made in the charge s radical. It gives the lie direct to Dr. Briges and there is no getting uround 1t by casuistry.” call Dr. Hastings to order,” exclaimed William 1. Worrall, Colonct Shepard’s pri- vato se “I don't want to bo interrunted by that young man,’’ oxclaimed the doctor, ‘'ne offect of Mr. Worrall's point was that Dr. Hastings was cautioned to use milder anguage. He continued by afirming that De. Briggs should “be his own interpreter, and as ho has disclaimed the charge, tho argo should bo dropped. A vote was taken and the motion carried by the docided vote of 74 to 40, Fato of the Seventh Churge. seminary, and was The seventh charge suffered tho same fate by avout the same vote. Colouel MeCook asked that an vxception to the court’s action be entered on the court’s record in behalf of the prosecuting commitiee. Just bofors adjournment Dr, Brizgs cailed attention to the fact that tho court must diminish in numbers daily unless provision were mado for permitting those necessarily abseut at one o7 more of the sessious to re- tain their priviloge of voting. He suggested that the moderator be empowercd to grant leave of absence tor cause. *I am willing to leave it to the houor of any juror,” he said, “'to abstain from voting on every question of which he has not heard both sides. If this 1s not coue we shall dwindle into & rump court, 80 smail that its voice will bo réeaived with no respect.’” Lawyer McCook answered that the court must abide by tbe provisious of the book of Qiscipline. e was wilng to accept any limitations of time in preseuting his case that might bo fixed by tho presvytery, pro vided Lhie same restrictions were placad upon Dr. Briggs. ‘The latter declared such a proposition to bo unfair, as he could nov kuow what argu- ments imight be used sgainst Lim, und he must bo accorded an opportunity of inecting them, ‘Ihe court took a recess unti~ tomor- row afternoon.
