hearsal, however, since then has worked
great change, and now the comedy is pre-
scnted quite as anusinely us ever it was pre-
sented in this city. During the engagement
the audiences have been large. The most
marked Improvement in the acting probably
is seen in the character Of Theodolindd,
played by Miss Mary Stuart. The mo-

early performances has disappeared Miss
Leonore Harkins is also doing much
better, and although her often imperfect
enunciation occasionally mars the beauty of

Omaha. Aug. 5.-Ths Benders ad.
mitted TO Daniel Condor, who is the
man who gave information leading to
their arrest, that man named Hol.
brook, uncle OF William Smith, q
lumber dealer Mt Plum creek, had been
murdered at Bender's place. When de-
scribed by Condor as y low set, dark,
small man, they told all about him. and
said he had about $4,000 on his person
when murdered.
In 1878 an aged couple, answering
the description. and who are supposed
10 have been old Bender and wife, with
one small child, occupied a house in
the outskirts Of Kearney. They sell
dom went out. made no acquaintance
and made few purchases, paying cash
for what they did buy. Some suspi
cion was aroused at that time, when
suddenly they disappeared. The house
was discovered locked, strong oder
issuing from 1t. The sheriff burst in
the door and found every evidence Of
their hasty departure. A cat was found
dead on the floor and in an advanced
state Of putrefaction. The breakfast
table remained uncleared, the dishes
still containing remnants Of food; two
articles Of apparel still hung on hooks;
all the furniture was left ps it stood,
even the bed renamed unmade, us II
the fiight had been sudden and unex-
pected, the lamp had burned out ON
the table. No trace OF their where
abouts could be learned, and the sheriff
finally sold out the goods at auction.
The manner in which this couple
departed from Kearney Is exactly the
same In which the Benders left their
home in Cherryvale, Kansas.
Dan Congden, who has been in the
vicinity OF Avoca, Iowa, for two Or
three days searching for young John
Bender's outfit, was in Iowa again to-
day, and the party are quite sure to be
arrested before Sunday, Us several per-
sons saw them in Avoca ON Monday
They are being followed by officers from
Avoca.
A gentleman who formerly resided
in Jacksonville, Illinois, knew the Nc
Gregor family there; they had bad
reputation. Our informant left Jack
sonville with them in the same wagon
train for Missouri, travelling with them
for nineteen days. He parted company
with them in Lynn county, Kansas,
and they went on to Labette county.
He has seen the prisoners at Fremont
jail, and although he does not know
that tl.ey are the Benders, yet he says
they are the same McGregors who
came from Jacksonville.
As ii has been shown that Bender's
right name is McGregor, this is still
another Identification.
Old woman Bender admits that young
John and Kate, supposed to be man
and wife, are full brother and sister,
and have been living together all the
time rs man and vile. Kate has four
children by John, eight, seven, five
and three years old, born while they
have been wandering over the country.
