A Fiendish Deed.

ing county of Colfax on Tuesday of
last week, but the following from
the Omaha Bee gives the hellish
deed with more particularly than
any other. The verdict of the coro-
ner's j1ry was in accordance with
the facts as here set forth, and they
give the following catalogue of
wounds upon the body of Franciska
Rousek, the mother-in-law: one on
the right temple produced by the
muzzle of a gun, one with some in
strument above the first one, four
cuts above the first one, four cuts
above the forehead one of which
fractured the skull and was proba-
bly, made with Ratchet or axe, three
wounds made on chin with muzzle
end of a gun, two cuts on back of
the head made with a hatchet, left
hand bruised and right hand several
wounds, inflicted with muzzle of
a gun.
SCHUYLER, NEB., Sept. 81.
Yesterday morning a young man
named Joseph Heraletzky entered
town seeming terribly excited. His
clothes were muddy, torn and COW
cred with blood, while his face and
neck were badly scratched. At the
outskirts he dismounted from his
horse, which had evidently been
rapidly ridden, and allowed it to
wander at will. He walked in the
direction of the business centre and
inquired the way to the Jail. On his
arrival there he told the following
story: "My name is Joseph Heral-
etzky. l live ten miles north of
Schuyler. This morning | killed
my wife and her mother. Ny wife
| buried in a wheat bin, and my
mother-in-law covered with corn
stalks in field near the barn." The
mans wild and disordered appear
ance proved that something serious
had happened and he was locked up
in Jail while the marshal and coro-
ner went to investigate. They drove
rapidly to his place and proceeded
to the barn, and from the wheat bin
they pulled the corpse of a young
woman. Her throat bore the i'm
prints of her slayer's fingers, while
her face looked as though she had
also been struck with his fist several
times. Her hands, bloody and bruis-
ed, proved that she had resisted with
all her might her horrible death.
Leaving the corpse lying on the floor
they turned with a shudder and pro-
ceeded to the cornfield near by. A
piece of dress protruded from among
pile of cornstalks. The marshal
proceeded to remove those on top,

believe, by the spirits of those who
have suffered martyrdom on earth.
For him, there is rest from labor and
from pain for us, there is the lesson
of his illustrious career, deeply en-
craven in memory. At his grave
may all true citizens be re-consecrat-
ed to the preservation of our good
government, the progress of liberal
ideas and the improvement of our
free institutions.

BY Law or .by Violence

The Omaha Republican says that
under the law in the District of Co.
lumbis "the victim of an assault must
die as well as be struck within the
Jurisdiction of the court before
which the offender is brought, or the
latter cannot be held" for murder
that "the legislature of New Jersey
in which state the late president
died) has passed a law clearly
enough covering the case, but the
supreme court of the state has con-
strued all the force out of it, leaving
the law very much as it stood be-
FORE" According to the argument
of the Republican, there is no statute
under and by authority of which the
assassin of the president can be
technically convicted of murder.
The Republican goes back to first
principles, setting forth the intent Of
our laws, that the crime Of murder
shall be punished by death, and,
among other things, says: 'If, upon
the death of the president, body Of
men had been dllOaced to go pedced-
blu to the cell of Guiteau and hang
him, we cannot see what evil could
possibly have resulted" The italics
are our own, but the sentiment is
the Republicans. We think that the
Republican will regret taking this
position, not but that tue william
Guiteau deserves all and more than
all the punishment that could be
wreaked upon him; not but that all
murderers should die the death ; not
but that he who was shot down like
a dog, was one of the best men that
ever breathed the breath of life. The
JOURNAL would have shed no tears
had the Republicans suggestion
been made a literal fact, but there
should be no mob law i'm this cOun-
try. No man shall be deprived of
life, liberty or property, without
due process of law, is the mandate
of our constitution, and it is the
respect and reverence of the people
for this grand principle of our gov
ernment that makes Guiteau's crime
in contravention of it such an enor-
nifty.
The truth is that there are thous-
ands of people enjoying life under
our free institutions who ought to be
deprived of their liberty or their
lives, simply because both are a
menace to good people and good
government, and a civilized COM
munity owes it to its own existence
to make greater safeguards against
such. If Guiteau, for instance, had
been treatod as he ought, he doubt
less would have been serving out his
time in some institution, for his for
mer crimes committed instead of
being at liberty to endanger the lives
of good citizens. 1t is the unhung
villains, the uncaged maniacs and
the unconfined fools that are to be
watched and dreaded, and if the
Republican can help the public to
some method of getting them well
out of the way, by due process Of
law, the world will be better, and
all good lives more secure.
