rought in. He had the II OF q
temi.educated tough 70 which his gold eye
glasses contributed. He wore a pair OF dark
pants, with stripes OF a lighter shade, a dark
vest, q chinchilla sack coat, white shirt, and
a blue and white scarf loosely tied. His COM
piexiou was a shade between brown and
swnrth and the hair was as black as that OF
an Indian. The teeth were pearly white and
readily attracted attention, The lips were
shaped somewhat like those OF n negro, but
were by no means 80 thick. The hair was
low cut and reached over the forehead until
within an inch OF the eyebrows. From this
forehead, the Uranium reached abruptly up-
ward, the crown at the top being abnormally
high and round. Everything indicated
A MAN WITH CRIMINAL INSTINCTS.
He seated himself and when told that
those mentioned above were coming TO see
him, said that he had nothing to say about 1t.
"About whatl' asked the correspondent.
''About the murder SAID Neal.
"Who spoke OF murder!' was the next
query.
To this Neal replied that he had nothing to
say,
lie was asked where his home was and re-
piled that he didn't think IL was necessary
for that fact to be made known. He said
that he mad been IN Omaha a couple OF
weeks ago and had bought some OF the jew
olry there. The sheriff asked him If he did
not say he had bought all of his iewelry
there and Neal said he did not say anything
OF the kind. He insisted that he had ad-
mitted having bought some OF his iewelry
there, but the rest had been bought else
where.
''Where were you in South Omaha lasti"
ar was never in South Omaha"
'When did you ever pass through i'll"
al was never In it,"
Did you not buy q ladys' watch there'"
mo, sir"
"Where did you buy the lady's watch you
pawnedin
81 bought it in Denver"
"Whereg"
"Well, 1 amt going to say anything until
I see an attorney"
He then turned toward the sheriff and
with ill-feigned simplicity, asked: "Who
was murderedin
The sheriff was silent.
was there any one murderedS" Neal
ugain asked, and noticing that the sheriff felt
disposed to make no reply, he said:
"Yes, / know there was somebody MUIR
dered, because ] saw II in the paper"
NNeals breathing was heavy and his eyes
sought other directions than those of the
correspondents. Otherwise,
THE FELLOW WAS UNMovRp
He could not be induced to
talk further. He asked the sheriff when he
expected the people from Omaha and was
told they might arrive tonight or tomorrow.
He then handed the following note to the
sheriff, which was addressed to a Mrs. Wi.
son, a landlady with whom he had been
boarding. 1t shows
THE scouNDREL's coNsuMMATE cooLNEs
in making preparation for his journey to the
Jail or perhaps gibbet as If he were going tc
his bridal:
MRS. WusoN-Will you please do me 9
favorl 1 may have TO go to Omaha today OF
or tomorrow, and / would like to nave my
hat, some underclothing, and my tooth brush
ana powder. Please let me rave them as
soon as possible and oblige. Your humble
servant, j. ID. KAToN."
The brush and powder the corresponden
has not yet seen, but they were bought at
Melcher's. There is no doubt but that the
watches other than the lady's are those
bought at Melcher's in Omaha.
From tho above it may be seen that be
sides beng a thief and probable murderer. /
Is apparent that Neal is u cOnsummate liar
1t is not yet known when Neal will be takeI
to Omaha.n
