ALBERT ALTENDORF BOOKED FOR LINCOLN Attorney for the Defense Failed to Get Much Satisfaction from the Court—The Pris- oner Wanted to Tell of His cret Soclety Troubles. The case of the state against Albert Alten- dort was disposed of in criminal court terday, where the presiding judge sen® the defendant over the road for a two-year term, he having been convicted of the crime of assault with intent to do great bodily harm upon the person of one Cullen, who was a fellow laborer at the Unlon Pacific shops. Last July both of the men were working at one of the furnaces and a dispute arose over the question of how an iron bar should be handled. Evenfually blows were struck, after which the fight subsided, but not being satisfied with the result, Altendorf slipped up behind Cullen and struck him over the head with an iron bar, inflicting some, very painful and dangerous wound ent term of court the case Was put on trial and the defendant con- wvicted. Yesterday he was brought be- fore the ¢riminal judge for sentence, where ho was compelled to take his medicine. From the time when the convicted man ens tered the court room until he was returned to his cell in the county jail there was a series of mild sensations. To start the ball the attorney for Altendort filed & motion for a new trial, alleging that after {Le trial the jurors were taken to a r00m In the basement of the court house, @ they remained until late in the even- after which the men were taken to court room No. 1, where they were allowed to spend the night. In support of this the attorney had an afidavit from Juror Fisher, who swere that during the night the jurors read the statutes and commented upon the law relating to the case which they were considering The judge of the criminal court that he did not think that there was a Etatute in the room at the time, and what was more, he did not think that the juror, Fisher, had read the law. 1 At this point the bailift held a long, Whis pered conversation with the court, after which he publicly announced that he had been careful to lock up all the books and papers before taking the jurors into the yoom. For fear that his word might be doubted this bailift at once filéd an aflidavit sotting forth all of the facts which he had formey tated. MADE THE COURT In a modest way the attorney for the de- fendant stated that he asked a new trial on the additional ground that at the time when the attorneys were making thelr ar- guments to the jury the judge was out of the room. Shortly after this the attorney was sorry, for he had incurred tho dis- pleasure of the court. The court informed the attorney In a most emphatic manner that before leaving the room he had gained the consent of ull the attorneys, and that the motion was nothing but a trap. The attorney asked for time to produce authorities which would sustain his position, but was informed that he was not entitled to Lme for that purpose, as an attorney who would make such a statement was not in a position to ask for a delay. This aroused the ire of the attorney and be wanted to talk, but he shut up like a stated ANGRY. ' clam when the judge told him that he necd not talk. The attorney having subsided in a most graceful manner and all of the motions hav- ing been overruled. the defendant was called forward to be eo..cnced and, with all the grace of a dancing master, he walked to a position in front of the judge, where he was asked it he had anything to say why sen- tence should not be pronounced. Altendort said that he had a few remarks to make, and what he said laid the foundation for a sensation, which for a time promised some startling results, but it was promp:ly nipped in the bud by the court. Standing as straight as an arrow and looking the judge squarely in the face the prisoner said that when he struck Cullen lie did so to protect his own life, The trou- ble, he said, would never have taken place it he had kept out of the A. P. A. organi- zation, He was an A. P. A. and the Cath- olics were down on him. Before he could proceed further he was in- torrupted by the court informing him that if an A, P. A. or any other A violated the law lhe would have to be punished. Even it he was an A. P. A. he did not have any right to knock out the brains of a Catholic. This settled the discussion, and silently the man listened to the words of the sentence, which provided for an incarceration of two years in the penitentiary. Frank Spinnel, the man who was charged with having assaulted Ah Ben and robbed him of a watch and a small quantity of coin of the realm, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. CALL TO THE A. P, A, W. J. I Traynor's Manifesto Exhorting t Members of That Order, DETROIT, Mich., March 23.—W. J. H Traynor, supreme president of the A. P. A, and publisher of the Patriotic American, has issued an official address to the order. He that his travels in the west have con vinced him “that the A. P. A. is a mighty force which no power on earth is potent enough to restrain, although monopaly, the press, a large proportion of the Protestant clergy—to their shame or ignorance, be it said—corrupt politicians and the priesthood lave joined issue to suppress it."" He reminds members that despite local victories the alleged ‘“‘center of corruption and national danger, viz, the national legislature and government, remains ap- parently as powerful as ever.” He exhorts every member to attend caucuses, and, in- dependently of party, elect trastworthy mem- bers of the order, or “equally good and re- sponsible citizens™ as delegates to conven- tions, He refers to tho other so-called patriotic organizations recently formed as “another ingenious weapon formed by the enemy,” and advises that they be quietly let alone. The address exhorts persistent opposition to immigration, as a primary source of financial panics and ‘“‘the main avenue of priestly supremacy,” and ad- vocates the taxation of all property, ecclesiastic palaces” included, public in- spection of convents and vigilant guarding of the electoral franchise and public schools against “‘the inroads of foreignism and absolutism In conclusion the president suggests as a watchword Wendell Phillips' utterance, *“The uneducated ballot is the winding sheet of state A NEW VENIRE. NVER, March 23.—For the first time In the history of the courts of Colorado the question of religlous differences has been raised. In the case of Thn Drew and James Burnes, charged with robbery, Attorney Tom Ward for the defense challenged a juror be cause ho was & member of the American Protective assoclation. The challenge was overruled. He then challenged the whole jury and found that eleven of the twelve were members of this organization. The attorney at once asked for a uew venire apd S the coroner’s office has charge of the jury, on the ground that Sheriff Burchinell was prejudiced against the defendants because they are Catholics. One of the jurors when leaving the court room, shouted: “Hurrah for the American Protective asso- ciation!” Attorney Ward finally decided to file no affidavits in the case, but to proceed with the work of securing a jury. The question of religlous’ beliefs, however, enters into the examination of every juryman and if it is ascertained he is a_member of the A. P. A. he is promptly challenged. s s IRON WORK CN THE POSTOFFICE. An Omaha Firm Re Bid is A Omaha will be interested in the following telegram which was received In this city yesterday morning: WASHINGTON, D. C., March 23.—Pax- ton & Vierling Iron works: After a long struggle your bid for fron work for Omaha postoffice” has been acccepted. Congratuli- tions. D. H. MERCER. Mr. A..J. Vierling in speaking of the matter said that he not advised of what part of the bid was accepted, but supposed that it was for the entire structure. “‘Our bid,” said he, “‘was §1,000 below that of the Milwaukee people on the work up to the roof, but on the total bid for everything complete they were about $1,200 below us, I have been satisfied all along that they were mot anxious to have the contract at those figures, as they would be compelled to pay a premium for the privilege of doing the work at that price. Our bid was figured as closely as possible, and at our figures there will be no money in it. Wescould not have met their figures even if'we had Kknown in advance just what they were going to do. “Whether the government has decided to give us the whole work, or merely the part up to the roof and readvertise for the bal- ance is something that 1 will not know until I am further advised from Washington This contract will give employment to about forty new men until the work is com- pleted. We agreed to complete our work in sixty days after the masons were through while the Milwaukee people fixed their time at four months. That was one thing on which we based a claim for the entire work, although our figures for all complete were not as low as the Milwaukee firm. “It will take about two weeks to com- plete the preliminary arrangements, and we will be ready to begin work as soon as the contract is Our figures for the work were , and that would mean an expenditure of about §18,000 for labor. Our regular force will be kept busy with the other work that Is coming, so that it will require putting on about forty new hands. Our bid for the work to the roof was $11,801, and the Milwaukee bid for that was $12,061. Their bid for all com plete was $27,449 “A lot of hard work was done to secure us the award, as it was seen that it meant a great deal for Omaha. The Manufac- turers and Consumers assoclation took a hand in the fight, and sent telegrams to Secretary Carlisle, as did also the Commer- cial club, and many prominent citizens actively interested themselves in the mat ter.” Ives Notice that Its ted. -~ GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

Lows op bullding about $2; Wom l MURDERER CARLETON CAUGHT He Was Well Armed, but' Not Inclined to Do More Killing, NIPPED BY OFFICERS IN 'SARPY COUNTY Found Hiding Under, a Bed in a Farm House with Deshane, Another of the Prisoners Who Eseaped from the Fremont Jail PAPILLION, Neb., March 23.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Murderer Carleton’s lease of liberty was not of very long dura- | tion, for he and George Leshane, who es- caped with him, were captured this morning at the house of Wils Garrett, twenty miles southeast of Paplllion. The capture was effected by Sheriff Milliken of Dodge county, Sheriff Startzer of Sarpy county and Con- stable Iolbrook of Papillion. When found by the officers Carleton and Deshane were snugly ensconced under a bed in company with @ big double-barreled shotgun loaded with goose shot. t first they declined to come out from their hiding place, but Sher- it Milliken poked a big six shooter under the bed as a persuader, and they came forth The arrest was made about 2:30 o'clock Sherlft Milliken had learned that Carleton had relatives in Sarpy county, and decided to investigate. Accordingly, with (wo deputies, ho proceeded to the house of Wil- liam Frank, whose wife is a relative of Carleton, and searched the premises. They next went to Garrett’s, where they found Carleton’s team and buggy standing in- the bar Deshane was awakened by outside and ealled Carleton and under the bed. Garrett, whose wife is a cousin of Carle ton, was in tawn yesterday and procured copies of The Bee containing the accounts of the escape from the Fremont jail, COULD HAVE SHOT THE OFFICERS Carleton stated that If he had been so disposed he could have killed the entire pursuing party- before they came up to the house, as he saw them coming and had his shotgun and fifty loads of ammunition handy with which to keep up the contest. He med to take his capture very coolly and ald they couldn’t keep him in any jail, as he could easily get out again, his previous success having evidgnfly inspiped him with conslderable confidence in his ability in that line. He talked freely With the officers who captured him, &nd Qid not give any evidence that he dreaded what the future might have In store for him, having no fear that the end of his caréer would be a rope, though further than the information that he was confident of Ris ability to get out of Jall again he did not state en what he based his hopes. The story he ¥ells of the way he and hi companions got from Fremont does not tally with the acepted belief of the matter and shows that the taking of the horses from a nelghboring barn was 4l a mistake, or else the other parties who esesped at the same time took them. . Carleton says that on getting out of the jall e and George De- shane went directly to Cagleton’s place and took one of his own teams, with which the twain pulled out of the equutry at a rapid rate. Carleton stated that they drove thirty miles in the first two hourss.afier getting pos. session of the team, which{so played out the horses that they were upable to procced further at that time, The country in which they were captured is rough and broken and admirably adapted for hiding, and had the men kept away the they noise hid from the houses they might have. given the Sfficers considerable trouble In finding them. They were brought at once to Papillion and then taken back to Fremont . Carleton was originally sentenced to be hanged today for the murder of August Gothman of Omaha, but the supreme court had granted a stay of execution until Sep- tember, The capture of Carleton and Deshane leaves only one of the prisoners who broke jail at Fremont last Monday still at liberty, a burglar named Blake. Wichelow, the fourth man, was captured at Lincoln and returned to jail at Fremont yesterday. TAKEN BACK TO JAIL. OMmcers with Their Prisoners Arrive at mont Without Trouble. FREMONT, March 23.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Sherifts Milliken and Startzer of Sarpy arrived here on the 11:30 Union Pacific train with Murderer Carleton and Dushane, two of the prisoners who escaped from the Dodge county jail Sunday night, having taken them at the farm house of Jeft Garrett, twenty miles southwest of Papillion, last night. The trace was made through the team that they had with them belonging to Carleton, which they drove off from his father's place on the night of the escape. When taken Dushane was in bed and Carleton under the bed, and they sub- mitted to the cuffs without a protest. The murderer of Gothman marched up to his old quarters in the county jail with as firm a step as ever and as he recognized old acquaintances he bowed right and left, as i he had simply been absent on a visit. But his best friends are very despondent. His father expresses great regret t he should have attempted to escape, saying that they had recently put up $800 to carry the matter to the supreme bench, and he now feared that the sympathy of the courts would be agalnst him. His father says that in case the supreme court should refuse a new trial the escape might operate against a petition for a commutation of sentence to life im prisonment. Frank Dolezal, one of his attorneys, ex- pressed great regret at Carleton's escape clalming that the chances w 2 good to get favorable action by the supreme court People here are very much surprised that Carleton did not exerclse greater sagacit while at liberty.

Two Officers Mistaken by a Crowd for Des- perate Burglara, The report that two burglars had broken into the grocery store of Peter Back, 924 Bancroft street, and that they had been surrounded and were being held captive called the patrol wagon there on the double quick about midnight Thursday night. A telephone message was received at the station requesting that an officer be sent there at once or as many as could be sparcd, as the burglars had the door locked and the citizens did not dare to ap- proach. The patrol wagon was sent thither flying and was soon at the scene. Upon its arrival the report appearances, true. An angry zens was surrounding the little store, and by the dim light within could be seen the forms of two men, one skulking along be- hind one counter and the other behind the other. Bvery now and again they would appear at the window as if in quest of some avenue of escape. Things looked desperate them. Outside stood the enraged citi zens murmuring mutterings, and as the burglars would approach the it to open it they would be met forcible resistance which none dared pose. There they were like mice in a trap, and things looked critical for them in the extreme; no arm was raised in their defense and no one would give them the benefit of a single doubt, They were again about to out the rear door when the rival of the patrol wagon caused a change of scenery. As it approached the men looked out and prepared for resistance. “Open this door,” was the first demand. Just as it was about to be broken open the burglars again came to the window and, looking out, saw the bright silver buttons of an officer, and at once complied. “Why, héllo Al one of them said, “what are you doing here?’ Al did not at first recognize them, and was about (o hustle both men to the wagon It was then that the real condition of things became known to the poor burglars They endeavored to explain why they were there at that unholy hour of the night and they really put such an excellent reason to the officer that he w quite inclined to let them go and as they went on to tell him further he finally decided not to arrest them this time, but to giveé them another chance The two burglars were Constable Soucel of Jud Cockrell's court d Dennis Lane, The entire stock had been taken possession of by mortgagees, and these men were in charge and this was the cau of the dis turbance When told how nearly they came to their deaths they smiled and said they saw the people gathering there but did not know for what purpose, The reason that they we burglars that Soucel left moment to go to a nearby salool thing” in a bottle, and as he threw his white lined overcoat shoulder.

Bells of the churches stopped ringing at 10 o'clock and will re- main silent until the same hour Saturday.
