BROWN GAVE HIM HER JEWELRY Bays that His Alleged Confessions Were Wrung Out of Him—is Treatment by the Pollce—Name Forged to a Statement. Sam Payne told the jury that fs trying his case in the criminal court that he did not murder Maud Rubel; that he did not know her; had never seen her except after #he had been killed; that the confessions | which he was alleged to have made to the made by him, and that his confession offered in court The prisoner told his sto in a connected manner, with perfect self- possession and many evidences of sincerity. His testimony created something of a s tion in court. When the Sherift Drexel police were not signature to the was a forgery. was called yesterday placed upon the nd by the defense. He was asked what he did with Payne on the way Linc while the train was passing through South Omah and replied that he had Sam get under the seat. He was afraid that some one might see the priconer and take a shot at him through the car window. He did not want gam to be shot and did not care about being shot himself, and so he took the precaution Andrew Petersen, a tinner, testified that on Sunday afternoon, the day of the supposed murder, he had seen a white man give a colored man a bundle at the McHugh ing. The white man was a middic-aged gentleman, dressed like a professional man 1d Knott, the flag man at the Tenth street crossing, under the viaduct, was called. swora that on Sunday nignt or morning a coupe drove down Te and past his place. The vehicle was driven up to the south entrance of the Mciugh bullding and remained there for dbout te minutes, and was then driven enworth street, He not was very unusual for a ¢ kind of a vehicle to be found on that part of the street, as there was no way to get (o the depot’ under the viaduct and nothing but freight and garbage wagons were usually geen in that part of the territory under his supervision. SAM TELLS HIS STOR Then the defendant’s attorneys called Sam Payne to the witness stand, and there was a craning of necks and a movement for good positions from which the testimony of the accuzed could be heard. Sam took the oath and told of his life in Omaha and of the places where he had worked. When he was asked why he had left Omaha on the morn- ing of June 2 the state objected, and some discussion followed as to what the witness would be allowed to state on the stand. Judge Scott finally took the matter in his own hands and stated with some asperity that the accused should be allowed to tell his story in his own way without any interruptions from either the state or the defendant’s attorneys, and Payne proceeded. He said that he was working at the Drexel hotel on the night of June 1, when a reporter called on him and asked him if he knew Maud Rybel. He replied that he did not The reporter then asked if he knew Dr. Brown, and he sald he did not. The reporter then sald that the police were after him for the murder of the girl, and were going to get him. Payne then went on with his work until 5 o'clock the next morning, when he left the hotel and walked down the prin- cipal streets to the depot at Tenth street, took the railroad track to Gibson, caught a freight and then went to Creston, where he commenced work the next day on a dining car, running between Creston and Platts- mouth. He worked for five days and then went to Mystic, Ia., where he had relatives. He stayed there until arrest=d and brought to Omaha by Officer Russell. After arriving at the city fail he was taken by Captain Mostyn to the city hall and had an interview with Chief Seavey. In the afternoon he was taken to Mostyn's office and asked by the captain as to when the clothing had been given him by Dr. Brown. He replied that on the morning of May 27 he met Brown at the corner of Tenth and Jones streets. Brown asked him if he did not want to make some small change and he replied that he did. He went to the McHugh building with Brown and to the room where the dead body of the girl was found, Brown turned to him and said, ““You are in this as deep as I am.” Brown lifted the body of the girl up and carried it into the dark room, where it was found by the police, and then gave the prisoner a bundle and a dollar. He asked him to come back that night and the pris- oner refused. Payne sald he went north after leaving Brown, who walked south from the building. Payne opened the bundle and found the clothing, rings and slippers. He went home and had breakfast and then went to church with his mother. He then went to Sugar Lump Clark's place and gave her the clothing and told her it had been given to him by an actress at the hotel. Lump 1d the clothing was good. He then went to the Drexel hotel and secured a place as porter. BULLDOZED BY MOSTYN. Returning to the time of his arrest Payne {d that he was taken to Mostyn's office, and Mostyn said: *“Well, Sam, 1 have been Working up th's case for iwo or three weeks and 1 know you killed Maud Rubel.” Payne declared he had done nothing of the kind. “He wrote a statement,” said Payne, “and told me to sign it. I signed it, and then he read it to me. I told him it was not true. 1 was locked up again, and then Chiet Seavey came down to the jail and said to Mostyn, ‘Take this d——d nigger down to that building and tee what you can find or learn. They took me to the building and there Detective Donahue picked up a stick and said that was what the business was done with. “I was taken back to Mostyn's office again and he said he would fix the matter up for me. He wrote a_statement—the one pre- gented in court—and when Day came told me to tell him that the statement was true.” “Did you sign that statement?” asked At- torney Tuttle. “I i not.” “Is that your signature?” presenting the statement or confession which Captain Mos- tyn had sworn had been signed by Payne. “No, sir, it 15 not,” replied Payne, em- phatically. Payne says that while he was locked the cell a number of people fore him and he was asked to point out the man who had glven him the clothing of Maud Rubel. He jmmediately pointed out Dr. Brown. After that Mostyn went to Payne and asked him to say to Mr. Day that he id not know Dr. Brown, and had never seen him. He said he had asked for his mother, had asked to see Sherlft Drexel and had asked for an attorney, but that all his requests had been denied. He swore that the story he told the newspaper reporters had been fixed up for him by Captain Mostyn, and that he did not like to tell the reporters that he had been intimate with the girl, but the caps told bim he must make the statement. swore that duriag cne of the conversations with Mostyn the captain had taken a revolver from his desk and laid it under the prisoner's nose. He was badly scared, and told the story fixed up for him by the police. He plead guilty in Judge Berka’s court because Captain Mostyn had told him to do so, and had stood at his elbow when he was arraigned to plead. He had sent a lotter from Lincoln to Mr. Day, but had not received any atten- tion. He bad talked with Kaley at Lincoln “DId not Mr. Kaley come down there and represent himselt as your attorney?’ asked Mr. Tuttle. The state objected and Jud told Mr. Tuttle that the ques fit one. REFLECTION ON KALEY “I think It is,” replied Mr. Tuttle fit subject for a bar investigation. Payne testified that he had told Mr. Kaley at Lincoln that the alleged confessions ho had made were not true. He did not know Maud Rubel and had never seen her. When Payne had completed his statement the defonso announced that the state might cross examine him. ‘“Are you serious?’ _asked Judge Scott. ‘“Why, Mr. Tuttle, there ‘are at least a dozen questions that you ”t o ask this witness, They are vital case was sta to in were brought be- Scott sharply lon was not a “and a Mostyn | | durable su | | o'clock will be to this case. 1 will give you until 2 to consider the matter and court adjourned until that hour.” At the afternoon session the defendant's attorneys continued the examination of Payne and went into the quesiion of his disposal of the jewelry taken from Maud Rubel's body. He denfed that he had /ver given Mrs. Lowry and earrings or that he had ever had two bloody handkerchiefs which she had advised him to burn up. He then went over Captain Mostyn's evidence and denied every state- ment made by that official touching the al- leged confessions of the prisoner. The rest of the day was taken up by the state in cross-examining the witness, While Mr. Kaley succeeded in a few minor matters in getting Payne confused, his testimony as a whole was not shaken. The defense has two or three witnesses who will be called in the morning and the state will offer its evidence in rebuttal. The e will probably be given to the jury this evening That Big crowds P — g Clothing Sale Now On, attending this =ale. final ettlement has got to be made.

There Are a Number of Men Who Would ‘Willingly Serve the City, Although the newly elected city clerk will not assume the office until January 1, there has already been a lively hustling on the part of a few.ambitious politicians who would like to assist him in taking care of the job. The .city clerk is alowed a deputy clerk, a journal clerk and a filisg clerk besides a stenographer, and although these positions would not begin to go around among the as- pirants, they are sufficient to make the favor of the city clerk-elect a desirable acquisi- tion. It may be stated that for the most part Mr. Higby has decided on the men whom he will name. He admitted this much in a con- versation yesterday, but refused to give any clue 1o his se'ections thus early in the day. It is pretty well understood, however, among local politiclans that George Hol- brook will be deputy city clerk under the new administration. Whether any of the present employes of the office will be retained does not appear, but judging by the prece- dents of former elections, one or two of the present force will probably be allowed to con- tinue fn the service of the city until the new administration has a chance to become familiar with the business of the office. W. M. Carter who was formerly clerk to the building inspector, Is circulating a petition asking for his appointment to one of the posi- tions in sight, and Andy Gram, ex-sergeant- at-arms of the council, Is looking after a job in the same direction. SOAP FACTORY SOLD. Mr, Page Sells Tis Intorest in the Plant in This City. W. A. Page has sold his interest in the W. A. Page Soap company to his partner, Mr. J. D. Humphrey, formerly of St. Paul, Minu. Mr. Page is not in the city, and his plans for the future are not known, but it is understood that he will continue to be identified in some way with manufacturing in Omaha. Mr. Page came to Omaha from Creston, Ta., and organized the W. A. Page Soap company in 1887. Under his management the business has steadily grown, and the factory has been enlarged until it is now one of the best soap plants in the west.

Duffey was arrested Monday night for belng very drunk. On searching him, however, things were found in his possession that may warrant placing the more serious charge of fraud against his name. He had a batch of tickets which purported to be admission tickets to a ball that was to have been held on November 24 at Washington hall. Upon investigation it was discovered that no such ball had taken place, nor had any arrangements been made for a ball at that time. The date on the tickets had been hanged, and now the ball is to take place on an evening in the early part of December. He also had in his possession a subseription list for the relief of the inhabitants of Ireland. If he has coliected all that has been subscribed he has obtained a neat sum of money. One subscription was $15, and nearly 100 parties had purchased from one to five tickets. The ball was supposed to have been given by the Celtic-American league. A thorough investigation by The Bee proves conclusively that there is no such or- ganization in Omaha. Nearly ail of the prominent Irishmen in the city were called upon and shown one of the tickets. Not one of them knew of the existence of such organization. contained a short notice to the effect that the Celtic-American league held a meeting the evening previous and considered reports from Lincoln, Grand Island, Beatric d several other towns. This communication was signed by M. . Carroll as secretary, and was sent to The Beo office with a request that the report of the meeting be printed. the first step of a very smooth scheme. Other papers published the same, or a similar notice. These cli were pasted to the head of a subscription list and Duffey started out on the trail of suckers. In order to throw purchasers of tickets off their guard, should they make any inquiries, a man giving the name of James Ryan called on James Larson, the manager of Washington hall, and engaged the hall for a ball, to be given by the Celtic-American league on the evening of September 24. Before this date arrived the same man called on Mr. Larson and stated that for certain reasons the ball would have to be postponed until October 25. The books of the manager show an entry to that effect, but no ball was given. Not a person appeared, and after keeping the lights burning for an hour the hall was darkened. No advance money was paid by “Ryan.” It now develops that Ryan and Duffey are one and the same person.
