l Nebraska l EX-CONVICT SUPPLIED DOPE August Miller, Trusty at Pen, Makes Affidavit to that Effect. $EORGE SCHARTON THE MAN| — | Unearths ch Dope Fiends in Smith | Oldnam filled his date LINCOLN, May #.—(Special)—August Muller, a convict In the state peniten- tlary, eaught by Warden Smith smuggling in morphine, made affidavit today that he| had received the dope from George Schar- | ton, an ex-convict of Lincoln. County Attorney Tyrrell has sworn to & cimplaint against the last named. Nineteen ounces of morphine were taken from Muller. Muller a trusty under the late Warden Beemer, and the latter told War- den Smith that he was rellable in every way, Por some time Muller had been in charge of the hog barn, in which he slept, enjoying practical freedom. Warden Smith became suspicious some Aays ago and searched Muller for dope, ! but found none. Then the warden set a trap for his man and discovered where | he had hid eleven ounces of the polson in the barn. Muller was then thrown in the dungeon with the statement that he would remain there until he told at what drug store he got the dope. For several days the man refused to divulge the in-| formation, but this morning he made his aftidavit, implicating Scharton According the Information received by the warden, Muller would sneak out of the barn at night and meet the ex- convict on the railroad track and pay | | him for the poison at the rate of 3 r"“.{ | an ounce. He would then bring it to the prison and retail it to the other occa- | sions. | Steward Sold the Stuff. i Frank, L. Dinsmore, who is steward of the hospital, was =ald to have bought five | ounces from him at the rate of 31 an| ounce. In turn Dinsmore retailed the dope at the rate of from 33 to $5 an| ounce. Warden Smith has discovered that the| convicts have a system for getting money\ from each other that borders on high fi nance. The convict who has cash will ex- change it with another convict who has money coming to him at the offce at the rate of $1 for $2. This system made it unnecessary for many of the convicts to | draw money at the office, but they sim- | ply had the transfer made on the records | of the warden. Muller was sentenced to the peniten- tiary from Stanton county for shooting | his wife with intent to kill He recelved | originally fifteen years, but the supreme court cut this down to three years. With his good time he would have been re- leased next November. George Scharton, sald to have been his accomplice, was sent to the prison from Lincoln on a charge of embeszlement. He was recelved at the penitentlary March 24, 1908, and released December 26, 1908. Frank L. Dinsmore was sentenced for life from Dawson county. For some years he has heen steward of the hospital and 18 referred to as the doctor by the other convicts as well as the officlals of the prison. | Warden Smith will make ever to’ locate the druggist who sold the dnne‘ to the convict, and If he is located he will prosecute him with vigor. For years an effort has been made to | stope the use o fdope at the penitentiary, but the catch today Is the first tangible result In the fight Graphophone va. Plani.

The failure was due to destructive powers of the turbulent wa-| ters of the Cedar river Several ago A. C.

Work was begun on a big dam at the| of the lake into the Cedar river. years by a sudden rise of the Cedar river. De {termined to try again, Mr. Stitzer en gaged the services of some eastern eng neers, who thought they could build a dam that would resist any kind of a flood by the use of flood gates. Mr. Stit- zér soid many lots for summer houses on the shores of the lake, and things were proceeding prosperously, when an unex- pected flood tore down the dam in a night. After futile efforts to organize again, Mr. Stitzer was obliged to give up the project. Several Lincoln parties are associated with him. The holdings of the | company amount to $20,000.
