Fry NOTES FROM THE GOVERNOR’S O} FICE Steps Belng Taken to Collect the Direct Tax Refund, LINCOLN, June 27.—(Speclal)—Governor Holcomb has taken steps toward securing the $19,312 direct tax levied against the state of Nebraska March 2, 1861. During the session of the last legislature Governor Hol- comb -addressed a communication to that body, informing it that he had recelved ad- Yices from Senator William V. Allen to the effect that there was now credited to Ne- braska the sum of $19,312, awaiting a formal demand for the same. The legislature im- mediately adopted a concurrent resolution accepting this amount from tne United States. Today Governor Holcomb requested Secretary of Stat> Piper to furnish him with an of ficlal copy of the joint resolution. The overnor will now write Secretary of the nited States Treasury Carlisle, and formally receipt for the money. The tax was one levied upon Nebraska when a territory, at the breaking out of the civil war, in com- mon with other territories and states, and by act of congress refunded. In‘regard to the insane patient, Carroll, now confined in the asylum for incurables at Hastings, and who is reported in the morn ing papers as having beaten to death another Governor Holcomb has Damerell said patient with a stone, written to Superintendent full explanation.

BUTTE, Neb.,, June 27.—(Special Tele- | grah.)—After deliberating for one hour and ten minutes the jury, on the first ballot, ar- rived at the conclusion that George D. Mulli- han, Moses Elliott and Alfred R. Harris were not guilty of the murder of Barrett Scott, The case has been an interesting one from the begin owing to the fact that nany and complex issues were involved other than the guilt or innocence of the accused. The legislature of the state took g0 much interest in the prosecution as to bring before it for consideration a bill which was passed by both houses, but vetoed by the governor, allowing the prosecution in a criminal case to take a change of venue to any other county in the state. By a reso- lution of both houses the attorney general was instructed to take charge of and pros cute the case. After looking over the ground the state's counsel decided to inflict upon Boyd county the odium of having the das tardly assassinatfon committed within its borders, owing to the fact that the body of the murdered man had been found on the north side of the Niobrara river, about ten feet from the Holt county linc After a trial lasting more than two weeks and costing the people $10,000 the case was completed today and the murderers are still at large, LARGE CROWD PRESENT. In spite of the heavy rain of last night and the prospects for a continuous downpour today the court room was crowded this morning to hear the closing arguments. Attorney Harrington spoke for two hours this morning, reviewing the evidence brought out by both sides. Attorney General Church- ill closed the case, speaking about two hours The instructions of the court were read to the jury after the noon recess and were v lengthy and explicit. In the matter of venire he instructed the jury that it would be necessary to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Barrett Scott was hanged and came to his death in Boyd county before they could bring in a verdict of guilty as charged. He also instructed them that political parties and factions and sympathy for the friends or relatives of the defendants or the mur- dered man should not be weighed in ar- riving at a verdict. As soon as the bailift notified the judge and the attorneys that the jury had reached a verdict the court room was filled to over- flowing by the friends of the accused and the people of the city, as well as a host of farmers who had come to town to hear the verdict. SCENE IN THE COURT ROOM The jury came in shortly after 4 o'clock and were asked by the judge if they had decided upon a verdict. Iach man answered yes and as the foreman handed up the ver- dict a stillness pervaded the room. No in- dication could be found in the faces of the jury what their verdict was, but the defend- ants and their attorneys did not seem to be at all worried. When' the court read the verdict of not guilty Mrs. Mullihan and Mrs Elliott broke down and gave vent to their overwrought feelings in a burst of tears. The defendants were visibly affected and recelved the congratulations of their friends, counsel, court and jury, evidently being thankful that the long trial was over. The men and their families have not left town, but are making preparations to start in the morning. SURVEY THE wiLL CANAL BOUTE Dodge County Citizens Ralse tho Guarantee for the Chicago Man.
