lhearney Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
Stephen d. Richards, the murderer of
nine persons, was safely lodged in Jail here
last evening. Sherifs Anderson and Martin,
who had him in charge, received dispatch
east of Columbus stating that all was quiet
in Kearney. Later dispatches sent from a
trusted friend and received at Grand Island
stated that crowd was gathering. Sheriff
Anderson instructed friend here to be in
readiness for later advices, and afterward
ordered his boy to meet him with a wagon
two miles east of Kearney junction.
Deputy Sheriff Lew johnson met the party
at Buda Station, four miles east of here. and
reported that a crowd of upward Of two
hundred men had assembled, with what
object was not known. Conductor Kelly
stopped the train at point two miles
east, and Richards was taken off, still secure
ly shackled and handcuffed, and placed in a
wagon which was waiting, Sheriff Martin
and Deputy johnson accompanying him.
Sheriff Anderson proceeded to Kearney, and
responded to the rush of eager questions of
the assembled crowd by stating that Martin
had stopped off with Richards at Grand
Island, and would be along tomorrow.
Much disappointment was shown by the
crowd. While Anderson was parleying with
the crowd and holding them, Martin landed
richards safelyin jail. Various parties, dis
eussing the matter about town, express
chagrln at missing sight of Richards, but
commended the action of the sheriff.
Richards manifested supreme indifference
to his lot. He was perfectly willing to be
brought directly to Kearney junction, and
said he would as soon die one way as anoth-
er. Col Mosby, of confederate guerilla
fame, was on the train, and interviewed
Richards at some length On his III

tie promises revelations in day or two on
matters here which he has kept silent, and
about which he says he will astonish tie whole
Western country as nothing has done for

THE INSANE ASYLUM GANG

The st. Peter Tribune Qnsane Asylum or
gan,) contains an elaborate card from the
trustees of the Insane Hospital, which il
claims has been forwarded to the Governor
as a reply to the blistering report of the
Senate investigating committee. The reply
is evidently the work of Rev.
Kerr, and is violent and indecent
throughout. Mr.. Kerr having been
shown up in his rascalities by the commit
tee, having been set down by the experts who
examined his accounts, as defaulter to a
large amount, is naturally indignant.
No rogue FER felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
That the obese and oily Rev. Kerr is 8
clerical rascal, no one, outside the asylum
ring, can doubt, who carefully weighs what
trustees and the trustees defend him as q
matter of reciprocity. This defense admits
no wrong 1t defends Belts who
choked patient to death with
a wooden plug and hot soup
and boasts that he is still retained. The
criminal carelessness of an attendant in
allowing an insane patient to be scalded to
death is fully endorsed and approved, and
again the boast is made that the offender is
still retained.
| The centennial steal is heartily approved
and Talbot's deliberate swindle in con
structive mileage is thus approved:
| As to the matter of mileage received by one
member, MIR. Talbot, while performing the
| duty assigned another: 1t was claimed by
him because he thought it was right, inasmuch
as he only received the amount that the other
trustee would have been entitled to had he per-
formed the service. If he is wrong, it is an in
dlvldual matter, and he is willing to accept
the blame.
This is a fair sample of the style of the
whole report. Murder and robbery are de-
Tended as glibly as though they were virtues
to be commended. Every swindle exposed
by the Senate committee is fully approved,
and every dollar stolen from the State is de-
clared legitimate plumber. The whole gang,
Trustees, Kerr and DR.. Bartlett all unite in
throwing defiance at the people, whose SER
wants they are. They have ruled and robbed
so undisputedly for so many years that they
consider it impertinent for anyone to inter
fere with their populations.
After denouncing the late committee they
call for another Investigation, evidently with
the view of getting packed committee who
will report all right. 1t is desperate game
played by desperate gang who have fol-
years despoiled the State, and reluctantly
loosen their grip.
Perhaps it will win, but if so it will be be-
cause the Legislature shamefully neglects its
duty. We do; not look for such neglect.

physicians Of the asylum declared him per-

live in the society Of lunatics for all those

it only covers the work up to the Both of

the largest number ever constructed in one
