THE HADDocK MURDER.

Doubt About an Immediate Trial
The Missing Henry Peters-Arrest
OfAlbert K0schminski.
Sioux City Journal 18th: No new
developments of note were given to the
public yesterday IN the Haddock mur-
der Investigation. The talk on the
streets has quieted down some what,
but great many questions were asked
yesterday in reference to the different
phases of the matter. The question as
to whether the case could be tried at
the coming term Of eonrt, heaanse of
the great amount of criminal business
that must precede it, was discussed, and
it seemed to be the opinion that there
was good chance for it to 90 over to
the January term. The attorneys in
the case will not have time enough to
make the thorough preparations that
are necessary before the 25th inst, the
date of the meeting of the court, and If
the case goes over it will give both
sides much better opportunity to sift
the matter to the bottom.
There has been good deal of talk
about the whereabouts OF Henry Peters,
the driver of the beer wagon, whom
Leavitt says was with the crowd on the
night of the murder. Some say he has
gone on visit to his old home in
Europe; others aver that he has been
put out of the way 80 that he will not
appear and testify to facts in his possess
sion; and others still do not venture an
opinion.
Peters dropped out of sight the night
of August 25, just twenty days after tho
murder, and his whereabouts is not
known, although his clothing and effects
are still at the German hotel on West
Third street, where he boarded for q
number of months. 1t is said that on
that night cries were heard, as if coming
| from some party who was in great pain
and that these gradually grew weaker
and finally ceased altogether. One oi
the parties who is said to have heard
these cries was seen by reporter; bu
he said that he knew nothing ahenk tbs
matter at this time. An officer who il
known to be investigating the case sait
that if the matter turned out as it looked
now, things would be found worse thar
expected. At any rate, the public il
interested Just now in knowing wha
has become of this man.
Chief of Police Melon is expected il
with Albert Kosnitski, whom he arraste,
in San FranciBco, either to day or to
