Bartley, Nebraska's famous stato treasury defaultor While this Is as yet pure theory, there fs much in the facts and the evidence to bear it out and it may be that after all Bartley Is safer returned, as he has been, behind priron walls than he would been had he been allowed to large here in Lincoln From the outset everyone who has studied the Gillilan murder, including the police, has been at a Ioss to find a satisfactory mo- tive that would have fmpelled anyone to such a dastardly deed. Gillilan was a man apparently without an enemy in the world. Yie was absolutely inoffensive, had had no quarrels with anyone and on the night that his life was taken was on his way home from an errand of merey to a neighbor assoclated with bim in prosecuting the work of theosophy. No oue for a moment has dreamed that Gillllan was a victim of ven- geunce for some wrong committed against another nor that anyone was interested In Bis removal for the sake of falling helr to his property, because he was a compara- tively poor man and had home it LINCOLN Th rof J 1t red weeks as mach of a thoery, however which may (hrow Neb, o ago mystery has m remain at Rothery or Mistnken Ildentity. In the absence of any other motive the police have been compelled to proceed upon one of two theories, cither (hat of mis- taken identity or that a murder was com- mitted footpads bent upon robbery. The robuery explanation, however, has little to Justity it. In the first place, rob- bers do mnot shoot their victims except in case of self-defense and Mr. Gillilan on the night in question was entirely un- armed. The murder was witnessed by a Dumber’ of people on A passing street car, who saw nothing to Indicate any effort on the part of the assaulted man to defend himself, much less to attack nis assailants. To get by this almost insuperable bar the police have hrd to maintain that the mur- der was committed by amateurs rather than by professionals, because professionals would never have been guilty of such un professional conduet. But even conceding that the assaulting highwaymen werc amateurs there are some things impossible of explanation. The murdered man had money in his pockets and a watch and other valuables on his person, but not a penny had been touched or a single article abstracted. Men des- perate enough to hold up a man In the center of a thickly-populated reaidetce dis- trict within sight of passing street cars would not bave gone away empty handed. Yet outside of the scattered magazines and poriodicals which Gillllan was carrying everything about him was intact just as when he left the nelghbor's house a few minutes before. Signw that P int to Bartley. Is it not much more probable then that Gillllan was a vietim of mistnken identity? And if 1t is a case of mistaken identity s it not most probable that Gillilan was mistaken for Bartley? The murder of Gillilan took place on Sev- enteenth street near F street. The Bartley residence I8 at the intersection of Seven- teenth street and ' street, three blocks from the scene of the murder. Gillllan way golng south toward (he Bartley bouse. At the time of the murder, Bartley was out on his parole and Lad been going ahout freely visiting friends fo that section of the eity hoth hy day and by night. While 1lan and Bartley have no resemblance of personal features, they are not far apart in helght and build and under the heavily shaded troes u'cng Seventeenth street could casily have been mistaken for one another in the dim light even though the moon was shining. It Gillllan was shot by mistake with his assailants under the impression that they were attackink Bartley, it would not he diMeult to find motives for the crime. Just at that time the alr was full of talk about Bartley perfecting his claim to lberty hy divulging to the governor a complete list of the names of those who shared in his plunder cf the state treasury. Other talk was to the effect that he could only pre- vent his return to prisqn by collecting in the stolen money still In the hands of sup- posed friends and paylng it back into the treasury. It ie easily conceivable, therefore, that many people here in Lincoln were more pnxious to keep Bartley harmless and silent than they were to effect his freedom. So far they had beon protected, but none could say how much longer they would be safe. On the contrary the belief was current that Bartley's accomplices, unless they were both willng and able to return their fav- ors, were In fmminent danger of exposure, It not of summous to justice. That some of them more desperate or less courageous should have felt it incumbent on them to res #ort to unusual means to keep Bartley lips sealed, is perfectly credible to thosé familiar with all the inside facts.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 11.-The Depart- ment of Justice has not considered action to get possession of Emma Goldman to try her in the federal courts. She was arrested by the Chicago police on the request of the Buffalo authorities and it is supposed by the Department of Justice that she will be taken to New York state. The belief is that the governor of Mlinols will honor any requisition the governor of New York may make for the prisoner. The secrct service authorities state that Miss Goldman was not arrested at their request end that they have no idea of | proceeding against her unless directed by the Department of Justice to do so or un- less they secure testimony showing that she was tnvolved In the shooting of the presi- dent. Chief Wilkie said today that so far he has not secured any evidence tending to show that anarchist bodles at Paterson, N. J., had anything to do with the shoot- ing of the president. Chiet Wilkle denied in most positive terms that his office had recelved warnings that the president's lite would be attempted at Buftalo. “Usually we get a large number of let- ters from cranks every time the president goes to a place,” eald Chlef Wilkie, “but we did not get even any crank letters just before the president went to Buffalo.

HOWISON CHALLENGE THE FIRST FEATURE Dewey and Benham to Hear Com- plaining Counsel and Determine Third Member's Fitness—=Not & Full Dress Affair, WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—All the mem- bers of the Schley court of inquiry are now in Washington, Rear Admiral Howison, the third member, arriving last night Admiral Howison was extremely in answerlng inquiries respecting the court of Inquiry. He said it would not be proper to say anything for publication in advance of the meeting of the court as to his own intentions or the probable line of action of the court. It was evident, however, that he has not in any degree altered his reso- lution to serve as a member of the court if the other members accept his own view as to his qualifications. Everything is ready for the meeting of the ourt. 'The impression at the Navy depart- ment now is that the taking of testimony will not begin tomorrow, althouxh that was the original expectation. A large number of witnies ies are kn Wishington ready to taks the stand at a moment's notice, but formali- ties are expected to consume most of to- morrow's session, which, after all. is likely { to be short, owing to the late hour of be- ginning. No summons has yot been fssued for Ad- miral Sampson, and it is said very few for- mal summons have been issued by the de- partment. Although no positive statement on that point is made it is gathered from the attitude of the government officers that they have no present intention of calling Admiral Sampson. forms that are necessary to mainiain the dignity of the court there is no disposition on the part of its members to try to magnify its importance by useless ceremony. There- fore, there will be no waste of gunpowder in salutes, nor will the marines be turned out fn state at the navyyard, as the threo admirals make their way to and from the building where the court will meet. To- mortow they will go to the yard in plain clothing and thus relieve the commandant of the necessity of ordering an official salute. In the commodious retiring room adjacent to the courtroom provided for their accommodation they will array themselves in what is known as the naval dress un form. This is not what is known as “spe- cial full dress,”” but is very nearly such, the main difference being in the elimina- tion of the cocked hat. Their OMecial Garb, guarded Instead, Admiral Dewey and his fellow members will wear simple naval caps, al- though In the case of officers of thelr rank, the cap Is almost encrusted with gold save on top. They will wear the naval frock coat and gold epaulettes and the service sword. 4 After the first day this uniform will give place to the easier, thoughtlees, impressive naval undress uniform, divested in large part of the heavy gold trimming of the dress sult, and even permitting the wearlag of a comfortable blouse. Precisely at 1 o'clock the members of the court will be seated, Admiral Dewey at the center of a table, placed crosswise of the court room, with Rear Admiral Benham on his right and Rear Admiral Howison on his left. The witnesses will stand at the left end of the table next the official ste- nographers, and the judge advocate, Captain Lemly, with Solicitor E. P. Hanna, his as- soclate In the case will occupy the other end of (he table.

The next step will be t recognition of counsel by the court, and Captain Lemly will introduce Mr. Hulse as the official stenographer. Next will come the most interesting part of the day's proceedings, namely, the chal- lenging by Admiral Schley's counsel of the competency of Rear Admiral Howlson as a member of the court. They will relterate the charge that Admiral Howison had ex- pressed an opinion adverse to Admiral Schley, and it will be the object. of counsel to support this charge by aMdavits and per- haps by oral testimony. It is for the court to say whother such testimony shall be ad- mitted. The expectation is that an nour or two will be consumed in argument by coun- sel directed to the two members of the court whose competency is not questioned. Admirals Dewey and Beoham then will retire and determine whether or not the manifest the incompetency of Rear Ad- miral Howison. There will be no appeal from the decision of the court on this point Even the secretary of the navy could not undo its work. Captain Francis A. Cook, who commanded the Brooklyn during the West Indian cam- paign, probably will be the first witness. Busy Time at Schley adquarters, The headquarters of Admiral Schiey was a scene of great activity today. Up to noon five of the witnesses named by the admiral had been in consultation with Messrs. Wilson and Rayner and had in- formed them of the line of testimony which can be cxpected from them when called be fore the court, They were Lieutenant Edward W. Eberle, Lieutenant Albert A, Ackerman, Lieutenant Johnson and Lieu- tenant Commander R. F. Nicholson, all of whom were on the Ocegon during the Santlago sea fight (the last named being the executive officer of the Brooklyn dur- ing the battle), and Lieutenant Weber, who was on Admiral Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, during the fight. A number of civilian witnesses also were closeted with the counsel during the morning, but their names were not disclosed This afternoon additional witnesses were examined and Admiral Schlsy and his counsel say they are in complete readiness for the opening of what is looked on as one of the greatest naval trials in history. Complete Formal Challenge. Admiral Schley's counsel during the even- ing completed the formal challenge to Ad- | miral Howison.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Magistrate Prindi- ville tonight decided that Emma Goldman, the abarchist lecturer under arrest here, should be held without bail, pending & de- of the upper court in the habeas corps proceedings instituted by the other anarchists who are similarly charged. The action of Justice Prindiville in holding her without bail extends only to Friday of this week. At that time the question will be reconsidered and the magistrate will de- | cide whether she shall be held without bail or released under bonds until the prelim- inary hearing of the charge agalost her, which is t for September 19, Miss Goldman appeared for a hearing be- fore the magistrato during the forenoon. She had not securcd counsel, but in a de- termined voice declared that she was ready to act as her own attorncy. The assistant city prosecutor, however, obtained a con- tinuanco of the case, until September 19 the date set for the hearing of the other anarchists in custody here. Mr. Owens, the prescutor, stated that the result of an investigation at Buffalo was being awaited. Defers to Superior Court, In deciding the case, the court sald: “While this morning I was inclined to be lleve that the defendant might be entitled to bail, considering the condition that the presilent is now in, yet at that time, of courso, 1 did not know that there was any proceeding pending; or that it was kolng to be taken to a bigher court. Of course, this prosent defendant ls in charge just the same as all tho rest of them. She is charged jointly wit: them in conspiracy. Of course, it being taken to a higher court, and a superior court, 1 do not feel as it I should now take any action which might be contrary to the decision that would be ar- rived at by the upper court, or that would in any way influence the court in the mat- ter there pending. That being the case, feeling as 1 do and with the understanding that 1 had with counsel this morning, that it Judge Chetlain admitted the other de- tendants to bail, I would do the same, I still say that I will remand this defendant, and it Judge Chetlain at 11 o'clock Friday morn- ing admits these prisoners to bail, 1 will immediately send for Miss Goldman, or at whatever time I hear of it, and will do the same; that is, I will admit her to bail in the upper court. 1 think that is all 1 could be asked to do under the circumstances, Judge Chetlain belng my superior, for I feel that 1 should take no action in this case until he has acted.” Miss Goldman appeared in court at 9:30 a. m. under the escort of Matron Keegan. She seemer surprised that no lawyer was there to take up her defense and glanced uneasily about the room, full of uncouth prisoucrs and curlous spectators. She asked for Law- yers Saltiel and Brown, both of whom have been engaged in doing the legal work of the local anarchists arrested last Friday. They wera not In court and Justice Prindiville said he would wait a reasonable time for them to appear. Although the telephone was kept busy, an hour elapsed and the lawyers were still ab- sent. Chief of Detectives Colleran then de- manded that the hearing proceed. It took only a few minutes and then Miss Goldman was led back to her room in the woman's annex. Prisoner Looks Tired and Worn, She looked tired and worn and there were ovidences of nervousuess in her manner She was dressed as she was yesterday—in a shirtwaist and blue walking skirt. When Prosecutor Owens repeated the charge agalnst. her she flushed and then smiled. “I asked the chief of police last night to have Attorney Leopold Saltiel sent to me,” she sald to an Assoclated Press reporter before leaving the court room. “I guess he must have forgotten it. I expected that my friends would have been busy in my behalf, forgetting that most of them have been locked up ir this nation-wide dragnet which the police have flung out. When Miss Goldman was brought before Justice Prindiville this morning he asked it she was ready to proceed with the hear- ing. 1 am ready,” she replied firmly. Prosecution Desires Continuance.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—The Chicago pollce tonight have seot urgent messages to the authorities at Buffalo asking them to tuke ction that will enable them fo hold the anarchists in custody. Demand after de mand has been made that elther proof « complicity in the attempted assassination of the president or requisition papers be forwarded. The police will not be able to hold the anarchists after Friday morn- ing, unless the Buffalo authorities take some step in the matter. The only answer to the requests of the local officlals has been that a letter with full particulars was on the way from Buffalo and finally | Chiet of Police O'Nefl telegraphed Chief Rull in most urgent terms that the evl dence or requisition papers must be forth- coming by Friday morning or there would be no hope of keeping the anarchists longer in confinement. “My private information.' sald Chiet O'Nefl tonight, “which comes from the same source that gave me my information as to the whereabouts of Miss Goldman, is that her statements of her itinerary dur- ing July and August are perfectly true and that she was not in Chicago after July 12 until last Sunday morning Renlly lins No Proof. “As a matter of fact, T must admit that we have no proof of any kind against Miss Goldman or any of the other prisoners. We are dependent entirely on Buffalo for the evidence or the papers that will en- #le us to hold the suspects in custody.' Captain Colleran made the same admis- slon and Mayor Harrison sald: “It is pretty plain now that there was no plot formed in Chicago. If there was a con- spiracy anywhere It wag made in the east.” The police made public what they sald was a complete set of the telegrams which have passed between Chief Bull of Buffalo and Captain Colleran. They show at al- most every point the lack of proof aud make it clear that the arrests were made here solely to have the persons of the anarchists in case evidence of any kind might later develop. Buffalo is Responding. BUFFALO, Sept. 11.—The police have taken the preliminary steps necessary to secure the extradition of Emma Goldman. the anarchiest leader under arrest at Chi- cago for alleged complicity In the plot to kil President McKinley, and it is under- stood that the application for her removal 10 this state will go forward to the Hlinois authorities as quickly as the tormalities can be complled with. Other than signifylng their general intent the police keep silent as to the course thev intend to follow, and the exact nature of the charge to be made agaiust the Goldman woman has not been disclosed. There is also doubt as to the manner in which it will be made. Superintendent of Police Bull takes the ground that an indictment is not necessary to secure the Chicago prisoner and although there is a grand jury in ses- sion here mow, it may not be asked to indict the woman. It 1s believed that Emma Goldman is to be tried under the laws of this state for consplracy, but it is added that much depends upon the nature of the showing that can be made against her in court. Doubt s expressed that the police have been so far unable to secure any satls factory evidence connecting her with the crime of Czolgosz and the ability of the police to secure a conviction upon the jn- formation they have now is seriously ques tioned in some quarters e WIll Be Cautlons, The police continue to withhold all infor- mation about their work, but say that they will not proceed against Emma Goldman unless thelr invesugations fully warrant such action. Superintendent Bull and District Attor- ney Penney held a number of consuitations on the case today and the distr also called upon Secretary Root and dis- cussed the legal features of it. The latter conference was not an official one, but was sought by the district attorney, who wanted some opinions from the secretary as a law- yer. Both were seen after thelr meeting, but they declined to say what particul propositions had been considered. The lo- cal authorities feel certain that Emma Goldman will put up & fight for libera tion at Chicago on habeas corpus proceed- ings, but they feel quite confident that a showing sufficlent to hold her can be made. The admissions of Czolgosz and the Gold- man woman relative to their moetings, thelr conference at Chicago with Abram Isnaks, their connections with anarchistic circles and the confession of Czolgosz to the Inspiration drawn by him from the teachings and speeches of the deemed sufficient that point.

BUFFALO, Sept. 11.—The night consulta tion of the physicians furnished in sor respects the most satisfactory report coming from the sick room. At the even- ing conference the result of the microscoy examination of the blood was examined and found to be perfectly satistactory. Thera was no increase of whiie corpuscles, such as would exist should blood poisoning set In, and the doctors had the satisfaction of announcing that the count of the blood corroborated the clinical evidence of the absence of any blood polsoning. The president was batked and given nour- tshment while all the doctors were present and afterwards was placed in his new bed. The members of the cabinet were all be- low stairs while the consultation was in progress and remained until the bulletin was {ssued. They were 8o elated over the improvement in the president's condition and the absence of any unfavorable symp- toms that Secretary Root announced that he felt free to depart and that he had de- clded to go to New York tomorrow. Doctors Show Thelr Joy. yeor At the conclusion of the night conference the doctors gave another extremely gratify- ing report of their patient’s progress. The physicians did not begln to leave the Mil- burn residence until shortly befors 11 o'clock. The reports which they had to communicate could hardly have been more gratitying than they were. Dr. Wasdin and Dr. Mynter came out together. They were hemmed in on all sides by the eager newspaper men. “Good news! Good news!” Dr. Wasdin crfed. “Nothing but good news. We have washed and fed the president and moved him to another bed.” “Is he still improving?" “He fs and to prove it I desire to say that a count of his blood shows that It Is in & normal condition and we feol that wo can announce definitely that there is not the least Indication of blood polsonin He referred the reporters to Dr. Wasdin of the Marine hospital serviea, who was standing at his side, for a sclentific inter- pretation. The latter explained that a count of the blood was a microscople examination of the relative number of white and red corpuscles in the blood to determine whether inflammation of any sort existed. An increase of white corpuscles, relatively speaking, would show inflammation and deterforation of the blood that might indicate peritonitis, Ho said that this morning a few drops of blood were taken from the lobe of the ear and microscopically counted under his di- rection. What clen Show. “We found," said he, “that the number of white corpuscles was just about normal, while the red cells were slightly below normal, due to insuficient nutritfon since the opevation. The count was not made to verify the fact that blood pofsoning did not exist, of which we felt certain, but to re- move every shade of doubt. The result 1s that we feel safo in announcing that not a trace of blood poinsoning, peritonitis or in- flummation exists. The tost could not have been more satisfactory.” “Is the president out of danger?'" “No, I would not say that. He Is a very sick man, but his condition under the cir- cumstances could not be much better. That much I will say emphatically."” “Was any trace of pus found in the ex- terfor wound?" “Not a particle. Pus means the existence of an abcoss and there {6 no suggestion of pus about the president's body." The bulletin which followed on the heels {of Dr. Wasdin's statement officlally con- | firmed what he had said Dr. McBurney remained: in {while longer than the other | leaving shortly after 11 o'clock.
