ID. RICHARDS. the murde

5. ID. RICHARDS, the murderer,
passed through Omaha on the 2Sth
ult t, aud in the evening of the same
day passed this city bound for
Kearney. A reporter from the
Omaha Republican got on the train
and travelled with and interviewed
him as far as Valley Station, which
interview as published does not
materially change the facts as given
elsewhere in the JOURNAL, except in
the number Of murders committed,
and this Richards complains of, be-
ing stated at nine when the actual
number confessed to is six. A spe-
cial telegram from Kearney to the
Omaha Daily Republican states that
the officers in charge of Richards,
fearing a mob might overpower
them at Kearney and lynch the
prisoner, had arranged by telegram
to have a carriage in waiting two
miles east of Kearney, where the
train stopped, when Richards was
transferred TO the carriage and safe
ly conveyed to and lodged in the
Buffalo county Jail. Sheriff Ander-
son arrived on the train and gave
out that Richards had left at a point
east. The crowd at the Kearney
depot was disappointed, but kept
quiet. By this ruse of the officers
all is quiet, and Richards has been
odged safely i'm Jail.
The Columbus journal., 1879-01-01

The Kearney Press OF recent
date gives a vivid description of the
appearance of the dead bodies of
ketchum and MITCHELL:
"The two bodies lie upon table
in the undertaking establishment of
F. j. SwitZ. They are burned,
blackened, mutilated beyond recog-
milton, destitute of clothing, ears and
arms gone, flesh cut and gashed,
muscles contracted, and a look of
horrible agony upon the face OF
each. The marks OF the loose
ropes" are upon their neck, the
marks of the hot irons are upon their
wrists and the marks of The tortur-
ing knife are upon their bodies.
The knife did not cut deep enough
to Kill, but only deep enough to
cause the most excruciating torture
to the shrieking victim. Ii this af-
fair were without foundation i'm fact
and merely the creation of the most
sensational novel writer of this
century it could not be pictured so
horrible as it is. The bodies were
saturated with oil before the match
was applied. They were hung by
their manacled wrists just high
enough TO keep them from getting
away from their barbarous captors
and then they were mutilated, cut
and gashed and tortured by flames
burning the bare flesh from which
the skin had been removed until a
death, long prayed for, came to put
a limit to their terrible sufferings." !"

THE murderer of Mrs. Harolson
aud her three children near Kearney
this State, on the Sth of December
last turns out to be young man by
the name of S. ID. Richards OF that
county, who after committing the
horrible murder fled to Ohio, and
was pursued by the officers of the
law and arrested at Mt. Pleasant,
and by constable Anderson McGrew
taken to Steubenville, Ohio, and lodg-
ed in Jail. The constable had read
in a newspaper an account of the
murder, and the name of the suspect
ed man was familiar to him, and he
who was known in that community
by that name had j1st returned from
Nebraska. The officer called to his
assistance an other citizen, and ex-
pecting fierce resistance from the
borderman, as they supposed him TO
be, they armed themselves to the
teeth and went in pursuit of their
man. They found him in a strip of
woods near Mt. Pleasant, walking
along leisurely in company with two
young ladies. Advancing upon him
with their guns at their shoulders,
they seized him without,a struggle
and without a scene, the only re-
mark being made by the self-pos-
sessed man that if he had brace of
revolvers he would meet any six
men i'm the State. He was visited
by q special reporter in his cell at
