surprise that Harry had written from Omaha
as told her he had. All she asked or wanted
was TO be supported
I'm that interview" asked Gown, ''didn't

~ told her that with these letters and
other evidence she might make that claim"
He also testified that Immediately
after the settlement in Quincy
was made, he wrote her o letter, enclosing q
telegram which she was requested to send to
him, telegram sighed 'Lish," in substance
to the effect that they were still man and
wife, always would be- and that he was su-
premely happy.
At Quincy she had said, II don't want
money,
This was in reply to statement BY John
son that Harry had been disinherited, and
that she would get nothing by sticking to
him.
On the day before Miss Biechler came to
Omaha she visited Johnson's office in Chi
cago and wanted TO know whether it was
true that Harry was married to q woman in
Omaha. She was very much excited and in
highly emotional state of agitation. AT
that time she had a document relating TO her
marriage with him. l asked her to let me
have it, but she refused and burned the paper
herself. She refused TO let me know its con-
tents, saying that when they were married
Harry had sworn her never TO let any one
see it, and she never did.
When Gown concluded with johnson, Ma
honey put few more direct questions. The
letter containing the "Lish' telegram was
read to him by the prisoner. -Four more
letters wero introduced, turned over to the
defense for examination, and court ad
| journed. Miss Biechler passed out into the
| judges private chamber, followed by John

eighteen miles northeast of Imperial in
Chase county, was murdered in the sand

perial with him us u witness, and who was on
horseback wanted Maher to go with him.
The latter decided to remain in town all
night. He left for his home next morning
and was not seen afterwards until his body
was discovered.
His pockets were riled, he was murdered
in blowout a half mile from the road. There
are horse tracks leading from the road to the
blowout, and since the man who went with
him TO prove up has also disappeared, sus-
pcion rests upon the latter. The suspected
man has been traced to Ogalalla where he
purchased draft to pay debt owed in
Imperial. He had no money week ago and
this fact is against him The sheriff is IN
pursuit and his capture is probable.
An inquest was held over the remains of
