A man giving the name of Patrick Ward and claiming Omaha as Lis home applied at the Children Bros. factory Wednesday morning for work and an hour later was behind the bars at the city jall. George Wilson, employed in the factory, the minute he sat eyes on Ward claimed to identify him as a man wanted for murder in Sidney, Neb. Wilson notified the police and Ward was taken into custody. Robert McMullen was killed in Sidney May 10, 1900, by a man named John Way- man, all Wiillam Price. According to Wilson, who says he was in Sidney at the time of the murder, Ward is the man who committed the crime. Ward indignantly denied the charge and sald there must be some mistake. He sald he returned to Omaha from Kansas on April 25 and, fail- ing to find work, had come over to Coun- cil Blufts seeking employment. Ward told Chief Tibbits that he resided with his father at Seventh and Webster streets, Omaha. The Omaha police were notified and asked concerning Ward, They did not give him a good character and said bis reputation was bad. Ward admitted he had served a term of seven montks in the penitentiary at Lincoln, having been sent up from Kearney on a burglary cha but asserts that It was afterward shown he innocent and he was released. Wilson had in his possession the card sent out by Sheriff King of Cheyenne county, Nebraska, at the time of the mur- der of McMullen, and Ward answers the description of ihe mam sald to be wanted for the crime. Governor Poynter, on be- balf of the state of Nebraska, offered a re- ward of $250 for the capture of the crim- inal and Cheyenne county offered $50. Ward wi released at & late hour last night. In answer to a telegram sent to the authorities at Sidney one was recelved from Sheriff S. H. Babb, in which he said: ““Un- less Wayman has confessed useless to hold, as we have no evidence to comvict.” As Ward den‘ed belng Wayman or implicated in any way in the orime Chief Tibbits ordered the man to be released.
