Indian Tervitory today W 1 men ivilization, ‘The r of administering justice there v a blot and a stain upon the judicial ord of the United States. Crime was rampant and corruption rife. Indian Territory today wasa depot for crime. The criminals from the ad- | jacent states took refuge there and from there made their raids. The recent raid upon Coffeyville in Kansas had been made from Tndian Territory. Monstrous as wus the proposition, it was i fact that the Dal ton boys who were engitged in that raid had been deputy mavshals in Indian Territory. They had gone through that territory wear- ing the badges of marshals and under the insignia of federal authority making avrests. He asserted from personal knowledge that from the lowest classes in IndianTerritory large number of the United who were employed as deputy marshals. No such monstrosity had ever been known in judicial annals as the system of organized plinder practiced in the United States courts there, the whole object of officials being to obtain fecs. He spoke of the hungman at Fort Smith, Ark., counting up his victims at nincty-seven ind speaking of muking the number a round hundred, Such un executioner, he said, if he had lived in the barbarous ages would be entitled to knighthood, and why should not this man, he asked, derisively, be one of the capitalist and belong to the favored clas in this great country?

The result is what most of those who have listened to the proceedings icted, and the defendants stand ace quited of any knowledge of or complicity in the manner of Mayor Miller's death, “The evidence of Clara Allen, whose testi- mony was the mainstay of the prosecution and was the prime motive for the arvest of the two men failed to find a corroborative statement inany of the voluminous testi- mony that was adduced, and the sworn statements of witnesses of unimpeachable integrity proved that a part, at least, of her story wais a gauzy fabrication Prosecutor Maloney's Statement. In submitting the case Mr. Maloney spoke brietly and to this effect “That Charles P, Miller, the late mayor of South Omaha, was found on the evening of October 4 in a vacant lot at Eighth and Dodge streets, dying from the effects of a pistol shot, there can’ be no question. That he died on the next day at Methodist hospi- tal there can be no dispute. That his death was deplorable no one will gainsay. That it WIS neces since doubts and conflicting opinions w current among his friends, that there should be a searching investigae tion as to th use and manner of his death there can be no dispute. Afterall this there may remain two theories in the minds of the sle—one of suicide and another of mur- has been evidence “But it is not t} speculate on theories. 1t than as the settling of this s theories as to the cause of his death may throw light on the manner in which he czme to his death, “T'wo things must be established by the state in order that we k your honor to commit these defendants for trial.

Opinion of the Court, In dering his decision Judge Berka said that if he had bes d to pass judgment at the time the prosecution rested he should have bound the prisoners over without bail, But as he had heard the officers of the court, Colonel Savage and others testify, one after the other, i manner that was directly contradictory to the statements of the main witnesses for the state, and had listened to the testimony of the physicians in regard to the wound and the powder marks, he had been compelled 1o chinge his decision and he could see no wiy in which on the evidence | before the court, he could either hold that Mayor Milier had been murdered or that the defendants had in no way been connected with the erime. He consequently notified the prisoners that they could consider thems selyes dismissed, 4 The friends of the accused crowded around them to extend their congratulations. ‘They walked out of the court room in company { & party of friends and the afftaiv was over. Testhmony During the taking of testimony for the des fense, Dr. Somers, civy physician, testifiod that the absence of powder marks and the general appearance of the wound in- Miller's head indicated that the shot had been fired at short range. He also said the pawns broker's elerk had told of Miller's buying the pistol. Dr. Towne corroborated Dr, Somers® testimony C. C Stanley of South Omaha testified that Miller had been drinking considerabl; some weeks before his death. Dr, Berwicl ken, sasion spoke of suicide, Ernhout of South Omaha testified that he had adminise tered to Miller a patent cure for dipsomania, A great many witnesses were introduced to show the whereabouts of Berlin und Hays on October 4, and their presence in South Omaha at the time Clara Allen swore they were killing the deceased mayor was pretty clearly established.
