ALL RELEASED ON BAIL Men Suspected of Abduoting Barrett Scott Waive Preliminary Examination, DETECTIVES ANXIOUS TO TAKE HOLD Many Stenths Willing to Unravel the Mys. tery that Surrounds the Case—Efforts to Secure the Offer of a Large Rewar O'NEILL, Neb, Jan, 9.—Speclal Tele- gram.)—Mullihan, Roy and Pinkerman ap- peared before Justice Costello this morning for their preliminary hearing in the Scott case. The prisoners walved examination and were bound over to the district court In the sum of $1,200 each to appear in the district court February 7. The bonds were farnished. A Bee reporter visited Mrs. Scott's attorney this morning and asked him about the letter Mrs. Scott received from Indiana stating that her husband was there and to send money. That gentleman, Mr. Uttley, denied all knowl- edge of such a letter being rec: ived, and said it must be a mistake. The gentleman who told The Bee reporter about it yesterday is an intimate friend of Scott's, and said that he had read the letter. He sald he had for- ®otten the name of the town from which the detter came, and that he understood the letter was turned over to Mrs. Scott's attorneys to bo investigated and used when the prisonors came up for trial, Dell Akin, upon being interviewed upon the Rubject, said that he had heard such a lotter had been received, but he had mot seen it. “'A large number of letters have been re. eeived from detectives all over the country,” &ald he, “who want to be employed to ferret out the mystery, one man going so far as to say that he would recover the body of Barrett Scott for $300. 1 do not know the name that was signed to that letter.” Sherift Hamilton will start out tomorrow to head a party of twenty volunteers, resi- dents of the Niobrara valley, who will con- dinue the scarch for the body. The work will be on the theory that the body was thrown into the Niobrara river, and the party will be supplied with grappling hooks to drag the Kiver. O'NEILL 1S VERY QUIET. The crowd that accompanied the prisoners fo town yesterday have all departed for their homes, and the city tonight presents @ very peaceful appearance. After the prisoners had secured their bonds today they acted as if a load had been taken from their ainds. Mullihan, who appeared to be the center of attraction, had a body guard of a dozen men last night. The principal topic now s for some method by which the as- sassin may be traced. Some are In favor of sending for a “mind reader” to come Tiere and undertake to unravel the mystery. Others think that it one of the suspected parties could be hypnotized that he would probably reveal the sceret. Friends of the missing man are endeavoring to securo the services of a first-class detective to go to work upon the case. There is also some talk of petitioning the legislature to offer a ro- ward for the apprehension of the culprits, This movement has not taken definite form yet, but it was strongly talked up on the Streets today. Supervisor E. J. Mark of 1his city introduced a reselution at the meet- ing of the county board today having for its object the offering of a reward of $3,000 for the arrest and conviction of any party or parties connected with the crime. The Tesolution was referred to a committee of five, and will be brought up tomorrow. It 15 thought that the amount of the reward Will be reduced to $1,500, and that amount offered.
