THE OMAHA DAILY B e e Sy BEE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1903. GAS JETS TELL THE STORY W. Hugh Edmiston of Ligooln Dies by His Own ' Hand. LEAVES JUST A BRIEF NOTE nd Cases—G (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 17.—(Special Telegram )— Hugh Edmiston, a member of & promi- nent Lincoln family, committed sulcide in his office in the Richards block last night. The body was found at 7:30 this morning lying on its face on the floor. The gas jets were turned om full. In the dead man's pocket was found this note “Goodby. 1 am a disgrace forever.—Hugh.' That is the only light thus far thrown on the case and friends of the man are vainly searching for a reason for the deed. Ed- miston was with his friends last night until after 10 o'clock and appeared in the best of spirits. He was A member of the Insurance firm ot J. M. Eamiston & Son and a brother of Ar- thur R. Edmiston, who conducts a branch office In Omaha. He was 2% years old and moved In the most exclusive circles, being & member of the Country club. He was a contestant in the recent tennis tournament in Omaha. He lived here with his parents. The body was found by an ele- vator conduetor who noticed the gas escap- ing from the room. Members of the family belleve there was a love affalr in which he was dissap- pointed, After an all day search for light on the note left by the young man, friends, rel- atives and officers are of the opinfon that Edmiston took his life while temporarily ingane and that his troubles were only im- aginary. At the morgue another note was found in the clothing of the dead man, which read: “Good bye. This s for the bost. It is awful terrible, but I cannot live any more.” This was dated September 17, the ‘seven” being written over a “six.” That BAmiston contemplated the deed, how- ever, there is little doubt, as yesterday af- ternoon he went Into the office of Dr. Holyoke and asked him how people killed themselves. The two discussed the matter at length, the doctor thinking that Edmis- ton was merely asking the question out of curlosity. Ray Edmiston, who arrived here this a ternoon, safd: “We know of absolutely nothing of an unpleasant character in Hugh's lite which could have prompted him to destroy him- self. I don't know what he could have meant by the expression in his note that he was a disgrace unless he meant that he was doing an act in killing himself that made him so. He was admitted to mem- bership in the firm the first of May, and in July I know that he cleaned up between and $500. No, I don't know of any pre- ‘ference he may have entertalned for any young woman. 1 belleve he did have a r] four or five years, but I understand that that was all over.

In the matter of the Boyd county land cases Attorney General Prout intends to use the authority given him by the law and Igok after the Interests of the state. Ir. Folimer expects to have a hand in looke 1ng after the Interests of the state, it is the general belief that the state will surely have plenty looking after it. Governor Mickey has taken a stand in the fight In that he authorized Prout to represent the state. In the meantime the feeling between some of the board members continues to grow The meetings lately have been stormy and though all the members profess’to believe that they have no fil feelings against brother members, each in his own way is trying to help out the state, some stormy meetings have been held lately. On one oecasion recently Governor Mickey called down Deputy Land Commissfoner Eaton, who acts as the secretary of the board, for putting In a word and reminded him that the board would attend to the matter. On another occasion Attorney Gen- eral Prout took a shot at Mr, Eaton for the same reason. Deputy Eaton as secretary of the board s more familiar probably with these cases and others in which the board 1s Interested than is any member of the board and he is frequently called upon for information “1 shall appear for the state in these cases,” sald Mr. Prout! “because it is my constitutional duty and Iswould be violating that duty did I remain out of the case. 1 shall put forth my best efforts in the case and the question at issue will be presented as fully as possible that the court may have all the assistance possible in reaching a declson.” Take Shot at Theaters. The Methodists in conference at St. Paul's church today adopted this resolution, intro- duced by Rev. Ishman: Resolved, That ‘the Nebraska conference reaffirm Its allegiance to section 248 on digcipline and that the delegates elected at this session (o the general conference give thefr voice and their vote for this section This was signed by B. D. Gideon J. W Stewart, L. C. Lemon, J. T. Roberts and B. W. Marsh. This section refers to what church members must not do. It prohibits dancing, playing games of chance, drinking Intoxicating beverages, playing cards, at- tending theaters or circuses. After pri- vate reproof is given and the party com- mits & third offense the minister may ex- pel him from the church. The mifisterial delegates elected to at- tend the general conference at Los An- geles next spring were: Chancellor Hunt- ington, John Galagher and G. I Wright. The other delegates will be elected in the morning. Tomorrow afternoon will oeccur the election of the four lay delegates, over which question a warm time is expected, as there are many candidates. The con- ference is being well attended. Globe Directors Must Pay. The judgment of the district court has been affirmed in the case of Cadet Taylor ainst James M. Weckerly. The de- fendant, Weckerly, brought suit against Cadet Taylor, vice president of the Globe Savings bank, and Danlel T. Mount, a direetor, and the Globe Loan and Trust company, a stockholder of the bank, to recover $1,060 due on a certificate of deposit. Taylor and the other plaintiffs in error had given bond approved by the State Banking board to pay all claims against their bank, which had been declared in- solvent. The assets of the bank were turned over 'to Mr. Taylor alone, who has ever since remained in possession. The bank made default. The other defendants al leging that the nssets were turned over to Taylor alone, denled liability. The lower court gave judgment in favor of Weckerly. The supreme: court holds that the bonds- men assented to the turning over of the as- sets to Taylor and are in no position now to urge that the delivery to Taylor w unauthorized nor that it absolves them from lability on the bond. In the State of Nebraska ex rel Joseph L. Baker against Willlam F. Baxter, one of the judges of the Fourth judiclal dis- trict the court denies an application for & writ of mandamus to compel the judge to issue an order of sale in a sult in which the relator was awarded a personal judgment against certain defendants and also an order of sale of certain pledged property by way of foreclosure. O'Brien Must Serve Time. Patrick O'Brien will serve his term in the penitentiary for stealing siX hogs taken trom the South Omaha stock yards. O'Brien was charged with the crime in company with Frank Harrington, Frank Melster and John Hennessey. In the district court of Barpy county he was given a separate trial and was convicted by the lower court. He appealed to the supreme court. The famous Sheeley bridge case was set- tled by the supreme court today when Sheeley, the contractor, was awarded his money for construction. The opinion was written by Commissioner Hastings. The suit was over bridges constructed In Lan- caster county. Norm Invalld, The supreme court has decided that a state normal school does not come under the head of internal improvements as enumerated in the statute authorizing any precinet, township, city of the second class or village to issue bonds in support of these improvements, The village of Alns- worth voted municipal bonds to the amount of $10,000 as a donation for the purpose of securing the state normal school which has since been located at Kearney. When the bonds were presented to the state auditor for registration he refused to reg- ister them and the village applied for a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel him to do so. Mrs. Figs Gets No Damages. Mrs. Sareh Figg, who sued John P. Hanger and others for damages, alleging maliclous prosecution, lost her case in the supreme court today when that body af- firmed the decision of the lower court. The opinion was written by Commissioner Porend and concurred in by Commissioners Duffie and Kirkpatrick. Beatrice Library Almost Completed.

MRS. ELIZA-PAYNE, aged 5. MRS. EDA WILLIAMBSON, aged 8L MATTIE WILLIAMSON, aged 12. The deed was committed a little past midnight. The assassin entered their sleeping room and beat them to death with the shank of a cultivator, beating | thelr heads into an unrecognizable mass. Mrs. Willlamson was dragged from the house after the crime to a draw 100 yards east of the house, and from reports was ravished by the flend. After the crime Madison went to the home of Elmer Spurtier, the man for whom he was working, and changed his clothes, leaving his blood-stained garments at that place. He was heard of near Inavale yes- terday afternoon and crowds departed for that place to capture him. He was seen leaving a house where he had spent the day and was chased into a cornfleld. Owing to the lateness of the hour the posse was unable to do much toward cap- turing him, but a much enlarged posse was on hand this morning and it was ex- pected that befors night he would be cap- tured and probably lynched The only cause attributed for the deed is his disappointment in not receiving re- turn for his attentions toward Mrs Willlam- son and his desire for revenge probably caused the killing of the remaining mem- bers of the household. BELLEVUE IS PROSPERING Attendance is Largely in Excess of that on Opening Day Last Year, BELLEVUE, Neb., Sept. 17.—(Special)— Bellevue college is open to the student body. The attendance this year s far in excess of last, and surely at no other time In its history has the old college offered so much to the pursuer of wisdom. The library has been substantially In- creased and the laboratory and commer- clal departments elaborately fitted up. Even the gymnasium wears the earmarks of prosperity. The faculty, also, recognizing the re- quirements of the hour, has welcomed back as & member and instructor in litera- ture Prof. Charles Kimball Hoyt, former professor of Greek at Bellevue college. Mr. Hoyt takes the place of Mr. Leonard, who has accepted the position of instructor of history and rolitical sclence. Some of the “older etudents were mildly disappointed to learn that Miss Josephine Blart, thelr respected instructor of lan- guages of last year, had been succeeded by Mrs. J. Morehouse of Omaha. The disappointment, however, became a verita- ble pleasure upon investigation and Mrs. Morehouse is warmly welcomed by her old class. The gridiron 1s now the theater of action in Bellevae's “world of’ athletics. -Captain Moore's husky squad has appeared with a few alterations, but right side up and ready for business. Captain Moore says the prospects of this season are as fine as they were last, and seems sure that Bellevue will hold a prominent and honor- able place in this season's contests.

EXPECT HIM TO MAKE FULL CONFESSION Prisoner Feels that He Has Been De- serted by Friends, but Desires to Protect Mombers of His Family, CYNTHIANA, Ky., Sept. 17.—After se- curing a continuance last week and mo- overruled this week by Judge Osborne, the testimony was begun today In the case against Curtis Jett for killing Town Mar- shal Cockrell at Jackson, Ky., over a year ago. In the case against Jett and White here last month Captain B. J. Ewen was the only eye-witness that Commonwealth Attorney Byrd was able to Introduce, but today he introduced four eye-witnesses whose testimony created so much comment as to make the situation sensational to- night. The feature of the afternoon was the testimony of John Patrick, who was com- peiled to leave Breathitt county because from his law office across the street from the courthouse at Jackson he had witnessed the shooting of Cockrell and saw what { happened after the shooting of Marcum. The most sensational developments today, however, were outside of the court room. Mrs. Hagins, the mother of Curtls Jett, made open overtures not only to the at- torneys for the commonwealth, but also to Thomas Cockrell, a brother of the victim After her conference with these parties dur- ing the noon recess, she continued them during the afternoon and evening with Danfel Hurst, the father of Mrs. Marcum, Judge John Patrick, Attorney W. W. Vaugh and others, asking them to intercede for her son.

Jett 15 receiving letters from former com- panions in Breathitt county, from Thomas White, who is now in jafl at Covington, Ky., awaiting the result of his| appeal on a life sentence for being an ac- | complice with Jett in the killing of Mar- cum. These letters encourage Jett to be hopeful and stand firm. It is reported that Jett has already made a confession to his mother. There is another report that he will take the stand in the Cockrell case and make a full confession as a witness.
