ST. LOUIS.
TIE FoRTMExER ABORTION CASE.

4Ah EOhIMG1Eh AbUhllOh CASEs
ST. LOUIS, August l3.-Part Of the tes.
timony given before the Coroner in the
Fortmeyer abortion case has been fur
nished, but 1t contains little not already
made public. Mr.. Fortmeyer, husband
Of the madame certified that he and his
wife quarrelled three months ago, since
when he had not lived with her and
knew nothing Of her transactions. He
denied any knowledge Of his wife's pro-
ducing an abortion. DR.. Wells, who is
alleged to have been implicated in the
madame's transactions, denies ever hay
ing had any connection with her business
other than on one occasion giving her
some advice in case Of midwifery in
which he was called in consultation.
Policeman Metzger testified to having sent
q woman To Fortmeyer on one occasion
some time ago as a blind, and overheard
q conversation between them to the effect
that Fortmeyer would undertake TO pro-
duce an abortion for one hundred dollars
After Fortmeyer was arrested Mitzger pre-
tended to her that he had been aided by
her skill and she talked pretty freely to
him. She asserted that DR.. Wells had
assisted her in some of her operations,
and on Metzger telling her that Wells dc.
MED ever having done SO, she dictated a
letter to him which Metzger wrote, in
which she charged him with being impli.
Gated with her and demanded 5000 from
him on pain Of exposure. The letter was
not sent. The verdict of the jury was
"Wo charge aud hold to account Julia
Elite Fortmeyer for the death of Lena
Miller, the colored woman, and aAo fol
tho death of the child of Louisa Bushler
the German girl found in her house."

It, however, like little men. Mr.. Good
said he would be found at the Colonel's
back during the canvass. "Place me
where France most needs soldier" Be.
Ing at the Colonel's back, however, Ia an
eQuivocal position. We have all heard
Of the 0iJ q terg0. We advise the Colo.
mel to keep all his defeated competitors
close under fire In front, and allow none
OF them TO get In his rear. Macbeth,
beware Of the Thane Of Fife"
COL cAMPDELLs POSITION.
This gentleman, while his vote was
small in the convention, did not poll his
strength among the Democracy. He came
out at q late hour-too late to do any
good, and although he developed impe.
diate strength and created decided enthu.
Siasm among his friends, yet he had no
proper margin In the way Of time to 60
on. He has, however, a probable reserve
for the future that may be valuable to
him.
Mr. j. HANSON GOOD
should have carried the war far more
vigorously than be did into the interior
ol Africa. He dallied too much around
the edges while Colonel Ben Cf may
change the dgurs). was in the heart Of the
cheese. The Colonel is an old sOt, meta.
phorically speaking, and knows where to
go TO hunt up retainers for Convention,
while Good Is no doub. sadder man
than he was this time yesterday. Yet
he Is doubtless also wiser one. Let him
console himself with the adage that we
live to learn; or, freely translated, in the
Germanic language, "de more we lives de
longer we finds out some tings"
NO PLATFORM.
The bold Democracy were afraid to put
down in black and white confession Of
faith. They couldn't even bring them,
selves to adopt few "glittering general.
ties" Lewis Baker moved 10 table b
little resolution or two in which Pollard,
from Harrison county, had sought to EN-
body Col. Ben's financial views Baker
however put his foot on them and they
disappeared. This will give Col. Ben
another chance to preach all sorts of doc
trines to all sorts Of people for the sake Of
all sorts Of votes. AS Horace Maynard
said about the Tennessee Democratic
office seekers, don't be surprised il you
see him playing marbles with the darkies
Col. Ben isn't proud when 1t comes 10
votes.
CONCLUSION.
The train will be here before very long
and l will wind up, this letter. The vir-
tuous Democracy who accompany me
are laid out around the hotel. some with
grief, some with reaction, some for lack
OF stimulus, and some not for lack OF It.
l feel like Selkirk on his island, when he
said
1.-THE seA.fowl hath flown 10 It's nest,
The wild beast laid down IN It's lair:
Even here there's n seAton OF rest,
And I'll TO my settoe repair"

Murder and Capture.

SYDNEY, Neb., August 14.-W. II. Tay.
lor yesterday discovered the body ola man
wrapped in blankets in some brush on
Lodge Pole Creek, near Bushnell, shot
through the head. His boots were off and
his pockets rifed Of their contents Sus.
picion attaches to a party who went through
with horses the day previous. Before
reaching Bushnell tho party contained
three men, 70 horses and one wagon.
When next seen there were only two men
aud sig horses. The citizens and Sheriff
Smith, Of Sidney, captured ono Of the
party last night at Lodge Pole Station
whilehe was boarding a train. Hegave his
name as Castor, and acknowledged his
participation in the murder, and stated
that his companion, Crawford, had aban.
doned all the stock, except one horse, and
started for New Mexico. Mounted citizens
headed by Acting Sheriff Smith, are on his
trail and will doubtless capture him before
sunset. Castor says the murdered manu
name is Crissman, and that CriSsman and
Worth owned the stock. Great excite.
ment prevails

Mr.. Beecher's Statement.

This long and interesting document,
together with the examination that tol-
lowed It, is completed in our dispatches
this morning. 1t Is yet too soon to ex.
press any decided opinion as TO its real
merits, but at first blush we have felt In.
clIDed to regard 1t as materially improv.
ing the look Of matters for MIR. BEEcnER.
1t needs TO be read connectedly and care.
fully, however, as 1t will be by those who
are cognizAnt Of the circumstance with
which 1t deals, in order to sec wherein 1t
Is weak and where strong. The New
York press appear to take favorable
view Of 1t, especially the World, which,
strange to say, while so decidedly opposed
10 Mr.. BRRcHRR in politics has been, par
excellence, his champion in this scandal.
The New York Times has probably ex.
pressed the feelings Of not a few persons
when it says that the statement discloses
curious amount Of moral cowardice and
great deal oI irrational behavior. 1t
reveals BEEcAER's character as entirely
different from what 1t has been generally
supposed to be, but believes the impress
sion may be general that his story Is mol
inconsistent with innocence.

The Examining Committee Announce
the Close OF the oInVestIRauOn.

the CIOSe OI lh0 lh0lnVeStlB01Ons
New YoRK, August 14-At business
meeting at Plymouth Church this even
ing Mr.. ShearmSn said: 1T Is known 10
all oi us that the subcommittee OF the
Examining Committee had a most i'm.
portant sabject on their hands In the mat.
ter Of investigation, and the testimony be.
Ing ended and all their witnesses exam.
ined, the question arose whether the com.
miltee should make an early report or
take come time, 90 as 10 give the matter
due consideration" In view OF this he OF.
iered resolution TO the effect that unless
The Examining Committee think It neces.
sary 10 take further testimony or examine
other witnesses, that they be requested
10 report next Friday evening at the
close OF tho prayer meeting. Shearman
went on to say that he though that all the
witnesses In the case had been examined.
Mr., Cleveland said that the committee
had yet q great deal ot work to do, az
their report had to be ready for publlca.
ton, but yet he had no right in behalf of
the committee 10 say that the case
was closed, and when that was done
they would be happy 10 furnish their
decision. Their principle as a committee
from beginning TO end Of the investiga.
ton had been fidelity TO the duty Tor
which they were appointed. They meant
to try the case so that 1t might remain
tried.
Ii Mr. Halliday thought that 1t was un.
necessary 10 urge any premature action
on the part OF the Committee, and be
moved that the resolution be amended so
that the words "As soon as possible"
would be substituted Tor Friday night
next" The amendment was accepted by
Mr.. shearman, and put in the folio wing
words:
ReSO!Ued, That tho Examining Com.
miltee be requested to make q report at as
early day Ss possible, consistent with the
best interests oi justice.
This resolution was adopted and the
Committee adjourned.
Mr.. Beecher leaves for the White
Mountains next week. Many Of his church
members and other friends called upon
him tonight TO express sympathy and
bid him good bye.
