THOSE TWO DUTCHMEN
whom Treiber SAID were the men ne had to do
IN Walker They were talking together
about Haddock and Turner going 10 the
GreenviIe house. Treiber said: 'Let US
take a hack and see what they are going TO
do" Munfchrath said: '.Leavitr. let US
take a ride. and go down to Greenville and
see what they are going to do" L replied
IAN right We went over in front of the
Hubbard house. and Henry Hibberman, Trei-
Der, Plath and myself got into the hack. l
asked Adams, the driver of the hack, to let
the windows down, which he did and drove
TO Greenville. Henry got out in
front of the Greenville house, went
in, aud asked If there had been
a buggy over that way in the last hour. They
said No We returned 10 town and started
TO 20 home from Junk's, when we met the
two Dutchnen vino were hired by Treiber to
whip Walker. John ArenSdOrf came out
with Us and these two Dutchmeu said to him,
loud enough for Us all 10 hear: The buggy
has come back" We-rhat is, Arensd orr,
Nunichrath. Ireiber, PIath. Henry, myself
and the two Dutchmen-started TO go towards
the stable / dropped behind aud met Harry
Sherman and we followed on behind, and
LANCE. the painter, followed US. By the
time we reached the stable we had got close
together and Munichrath said: If you or
your man is
GOING TO LICK HADDOCE
tell him not to punch him too hard, but hit
him in the face once or twice and give him
black eve. That viii do, as we don't want to
90 anv further than that. Treiber said that
was right. We saw Haddock coming across
Water street from the Columbia house. No
one said word as John ArenSdorf started
toward him. He come up in front of Had
dock and looked him in the face, and threw
up his hand in front of Haddock's face. Mr..
HaddOck pulled something from his pocket
and struck Arensdorf. l then saw Arensdorf
draw mis- gun, and saw him shoot Haddock. L
saw nothing more of Arensdorf
Arensdorf was arrested yesterday in
Davenport, where he had gone as dele
gate to the Knights of Pythias meeting,
and is expected to arrive here during the
night. Paul Leader and George Lange
were arrested to-day and admitted to the
same bail as Munchrath and Sherman.
Warrants are out for other parties impli
Gated in the conspiracy. and it is said Leavitt
has assurances that by turning states evil
dence he will escape punishment.
