Enforcement of the Liquor Law Gives Rise to Considerable Complaining. There was a decided kick made yesterday afterfoon against the order recently issued by the chiet of police requiring screens and curtains to be immediately taken down from In front of saloons. The saloon keepers have been seriously feeling the re- sults of the new movement, for however much men like their little swig occasionally, most of them do not care to let the gen- eral public know how well they like it, and the strict enforcement of the law has driven away a good_deal of trade. Yesterday afternoon Mayor Cleaver was in his private office at the city building when about twenty saloon keepers and property owners called upon him to register their complaints, George R. Wheeler, J. A. Herald, W. A. Maurer, George A. Holmes, Jacob 'Neumayer, Fred Geise and others Were present, and the mayor was somewhat in the minority. Holmes and Wheeler were the chief spokesmen for the crowd, although others chiypped in now and then when these two gentlemen ran out of something to *ioimes devoted some time to arguing to the mayor that he had exceeded his authority in trying to enforce a law when the respon- sibility of seeing that it was enforced was placed explicitly on the shoulders of the county officials. So long as the city was recelving its revenue promptly the com- plainants could not see why the city of- fclals should go out of their way to en- force a law which in a short time would almost entirely stamp out the saloon busi- ness in Council Bluffs. “If this thing goes on in the way it has begun,” sald Wheeler, “at the end of eight weeks there won't be ten saloons in Council Bluffs, and then where will your revenue be? With Omaha right across the river the people of Council Bluffs will get their liquor right along, and all the money will be spent over fhere.” Mayor Cleaver protested that he had acted right, but was inclined to throw the blame on some one else. He said he had been urged to enforce the law by just as many people as were now in his presence urging him to let things run. “I'll bring up ten men,” sald Mauer, “‘who will ask you not to enforce the law for every one you can find who wants it en- forced.” 8o far as practical results were concerned the meeting did not amount to much, for at the close the mayor advised the saloon men and thelr sympathizers to go about their business as though nothing had happened, and he thought they would soon become ac- customed to the new state cf things. There 1s but little doubt that the saloon keepers will find this easler said than done, and just how the thing will finally turn out is a brob- lem of some difficulty.

A rather fine point was sprung vesterday morning by the attorneys for Mr. and Mrs. Melzer, who tried to bunco Dr. Mulhern out of §50 by a blackmailing proceeding. The case has been In process of trial for several days past, and the evidence introduced against them was very damaging, indicating beyond the po:sibility of a doubt that the doctor was not the only intended victim. The attorneys for the defense yesterday took advantage of a fine technicality, on which they hope to secure their clients’ release. When two persons are married they become one, and it is a well established fact that one’ person cannot enter into a conspiracy alone. Consequently the attorneys for the defense ask that the ca e be dismissed, and the point was argued for several hours. At 3 o'clcck Judge Lewis took the case under advisement and adjourned court until this morning at 9:30 o'clock, when he will render a decision.

Tele: Pphone 48, DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1 891, — CAME AFTER PAYN (Continued frw.':"con'l Page.) falsg I will pay yoy well.” He told Payne of the vacant bulldlng_and sald ft waé a good place for what he wanted the fatter to do. “I'll tell yoq, Rayne,” sald Brown, “If you put that girl ouf of the way I will give you $2 Here's $1land I will see you tomorrow and glve you the rest. Payne then told how he killed the girl, and said that at 7 o'clock in the grening of the Mon- day after Maud dishppéared both he and Brown were at the.vaeant buiiding. He said he was at the head of the stairs closing one of the doors and*Brown at the foot. He s holding a conversation with Brown and had it planned that,Brown should leave lpmllhv Payne to go nérth, home. He id | that while Brown was at the foot of the stalrs he turned to him and said: “Don't { come for a moment.” Brown then waved his hand toward Payue. The former left the building, but P said instead of going south he went L Leavenworth street. Payne aw no more of Brown till Wedne He went to Brown's rooms on Tenth strect, his object being to collect the other $24. PBrown sald he had bought an interest in a shooting gallery and as soon as he could get some money out of it he would give Payne the money. After this Payne saw Brown no more. He sald what he had done began to worry him and it was on this account he left the Windsor and went to the Drexel. He said that he did not want to be nesr the scene of the crime. He never went to look for Brown, but he heard the latter had called at the Wind veral times to see him Payne «aid h's wife had nothing to do with the murder, but had seen him in company with Brown once and asked: ‘What are you going around with th aded man for?® Payne id not tell his wife what he had done. He sald she would never have be- lieved it if he had told her. Brown never gave any other reason for wanting the girl out of the way than that he did not want to stand the disgrace of having the public know he had been int mate with her. He said she could be put out of the wa much better than having their relations made known. He (Brown) would usually — add: “I'm getting tired of giving her money every time she asks for it, and when she is refused she gen- crally threatens to make matters known This is what was afraid she would some time. Payne concluded his con sion on the train by saying if Brown would come to the front and tell what he knew the cause of Maud Rubel's death would be made clear. He said positively that he never bad any ides of killing the girl till he met Brown; that it was the idea of obtaining the money promised by Brown that led him to do the deed. As soon as Sheriff Drexel left the train he telegr the order here to arrest Brown. of the detectives who were doing duty at the court house were detaile Telegram and descriptions were at once sent over the country. It was learned Brown was seen in Council Bluffs last night at § o'clock. "\GRF)ES WITH FLEMING. Payne's supplemented confession to Drexel taliles_precisely with the statement of Of- ficer Fleming regarding seeing Brown_in the doorway of the McHugh building at 7:30 Monday evening when he appeared to be talking to some one at the head of the stairs. This statement of Flemings was and is yet unknown to Payne, yet in describing his and Brown's visit to the McHugh building that evening, Payne even mentions the fact that Brown waved his hand to him to re- main at the head of the stairs, a motion which Fleming notided and spoke of. These facts seem to the police to be conclusive ayne's latest Istatement is true, and are regretting that the county atorney released Browi €0 soon. Captain Mostyn and Detectives Dunn and Donahue after Payne's first confession took him to the vacant building, the scene of his crime. Payne minutely pointed out the dif- ferent rooms, that 18, the one in which he says the girl was killed and the one where her body was found. He without the slight- est intimation of mistake reached around back of the door of reom 5, where he said he killed the girl, and took up a piece of board. It was a piece of a drawer and bore no marks of blood. - #This is what did it,” he said. He told of the veil and a wrap that were found in the-room. He said the veil had been worn by Maud Rubel, but the cloak he found in one of the vacant rooms He also pointed out the two rooms and ex- plained the position he took when he struck the girl with the piece of board. Captain Moyston said st night that from the first he thought Payne alone had com- mitted the murder. He said this was con- firmed in his mind by the finding by Detec- tives Savage and Dempsey of the rings, also the locating of Mrs. Payne by these of- ficers. When told of the confession by Payne to Drexel, his face clouded, and he said, “Well, if that is not strange.” Detectives Dempscy end Savage, Dunn and Donahue, who have done some excellént work gn this case, were greatly surprised last nifht when they heard of Payne's con- fession to Drexel. “Well, we will have to get him again, that's all,” they said, refer- ringto Brown. Sam Payne was arralgned in police court at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and pleaded: guilty to the charge of having murdered Maude Rubel. Dr. Brown was discharged late in the afternoon. Payne has sald to Captaln Mostyn that he was angry and excited just after he struck Maud and cannot tell whether he threw her cape and veil out on the roof of the adjoining building. He also says that when he met Maud on the morning of the murder she asked him his name, which would show that he had not known her for two years, as he pretended. MRS. RUBEL TALKS OF THE CASE. Says that Part of Puyne's Confession is False—Wants Lrown Held, A reporter for The Bee call:d at Mr. Rubel's home at South Omaha. Mr. Rubel was not at home, but Mrs. Rubel came to the door. She had just heard of Payne's con- fession, and was feeling very badly. “I am now pretty well satisfied that Payne is the man who killed Maudie,” said she, but as for him being intimate with her for two years or at any time the assertion is preposterous and untrue. Payne says he first met Maudie at a ball in South Omaha. The poor girl didn't know anything about dancing, and never attended one that we know of. She was a Sunday school girl and was never away from home at night. All last winter she slept in the same room with my husband and myself. We needed money badly, and in order to give us one more room to rent we fixed up a place in our bed room for Maude to sleep on. She was never away from home in the evening unless we knew exactly where she was. I believe that Payne found Maude near the building she was murdered in and inticed her into the place where he ravished and murdered her. I do not believe she ever knew Payne or ever even saw him before. The child had a horror of colored men, and the statement that she was Payne's mistress nearly drives me insane. s “I hope the authorities will not turn Brown loose until it is-certain that Payne is guilty beyond duyt question of doubt. Payne has told o many-stories already that we don't know hardly)what to believe. One trouble has heaped upon. another of late until we are now out of money, and 1 am afrald Mr. Rubel will lose. his mind entirely. I never can believe that Maudie was the mis- tress of a colored man,uo matter whatever else they may sayMugainst her. There are many persons who will believe it though, and the whole circumstances have about driven me crazy.” Mr. anq Mrs. Rubel have many friends in South Omaha, all of whom sympa- thize deeply with thém.” Mrs. Rubel has not been well since her daughter first disap- peared, and Mr. Rubel acts very strangely at times. They live in the first flat directly over the postoffice and rent out several rooms. They have a grown son, but he is now out of employment, and the family are In circumstances which are embarrassing, to say the least. —_— Burglars Blow a Safe.
