An Army Captain Accused of AIalingsring

OMAHA, Neb., March 1.-The court
martial to try Capt Henry Galley, COM
pany c, Second infantry, on the charge
of cowardice, convened at department
headquarters. Charges were read which
allege that the captain feigned sickness
when there was prospect of fighting
at Pine Ridge and shirked duty when it
was dangerous. There were four speci-
fcations, to all of which he pleaded not
guilty.
The only witness examined was
Lieut.. Turner, who testified that Capt.
Galley ordered him to take command Of
the company when it was ordered to go
after the hostiles on the White river, as
he was not feeling well. On other oe-
casions when danger was apparent Cat
ley reported himself not feeling well
and unable to command, but when the
duty was not dangerous he was on
hand

If we have to pay for our folly let US
not add dishonesty to our want of pru-
dence.
The entire indebtedness at the close
of my administration was something
like S7I, 900. This included the rail-
road bonds, gas bonds, funding bonds,
old bonded debts and the Hendricks
Shook bonds and also the bond issued to
move millions of cubic yards of dirt in
order to get the city down to anything
like a decent grade and also bonds
issued for building the city hall, the
Third street bridge, and large num-
Der of other important public improve
ments, which are too numerous to
mention in this article. There was
not one dollars worth of the city's
money squandered by the mayor and
city council during my administration.
Every dollar was laid out because there
was a valid obligation against the city
or for an improvement that was de-
manded by the taxpayers. Every bond
issued was issued by the mayor
and council after they had been in
structed to issue them by the voters
who must ultimately have them to pay.
The mayor and council are only the
ministerial officers in issuing the
bonds; and all this talk of the News
about the mayor running the city in
debt BY causing bonds to be issued
is so much rot intended to deceive the
public. And all the talk of any man
who is desirous of being mayor about
opposing the payment of any ebliga-
ton of the city is of the same charac-

FURY OF A MOB.
Outbreak Over the Acquittai Of the
Accused Italians.
ELEVEN OF THE PRISONERS KILLED.
The Parish Prison Raided-No Great Re-
sIstance offered BY OhicIsIs-The As
sAkSInatIOn of Hennessy Supposed
to BE Avenged.

NEW ORLEANS, March 14.-Public in
dignation ran mountain high in this city
yesterday afternoon and last night,
when news of the virtual acquittal Of
the Malta cutthroats, charged with the
murder of Chief of Police Hennessy
spread from the court room. Loud and
open threats of summary vengeance
were heard on all sides, but it was not
until one hundred of the leading citi-
zens attached their names to a call for
q mass meeting that the public felt that
the administration of justice might
come from the enraged people. Anger,
already hot, was heated to the white
pitch by the sight of bunting streaming
In the wind from the masts of all the
small Italian craft in the harbOr, each
emblem seeming to wave defiance to
law and decency.
It became known last night-or was
tacitly understoOd-that those who at
tended the meeting called by the 100
citizens for this morning at the Clay
statue should come prepared to do that
which the law had failed. This feeling
was heightened in intensity by Chief
Hennessy's countrymen who did all In
their power to stir the people to the
point Of desperate action. A feverish
excitement prevailed all night and
wherever men congregated were to be
found those who advocated resort to the
plan by which justice gained foothold
in Cincinnati sevenye ago this month.
Determined men waited eagerly for the
coming of the hour of meeting. Few
declarations of intent were heard; the
common purpose was too well under
stood.
Early this morning thousands OF
reputable men, unused to scenes Of
bloodshed, swarmed about the appoint
ed place of meeting. AS the minutes
passed the crowd grew. Computation
as TO the size of the throng was im-
possible While decency and good or
der prevailed, the hum of voices
drowned whatever of formality there
may have been in the proceedings and
soon after the hour for the meeting the
crowd, yelling with excitement, started
for the parish prison.
What happened there is quickly told
The murderers of Chief Hennessy were
disposed of. They are: Manuel Po

ter. The mayor can no more oppose
the payment of the gas bonds than can
any other citizen. 1t is true he might
refuse to sign a city warrant for their
payment, but if the obligation is legal
the only result of such a course would
be to run the city into useless expense
in trying to defend lawsuit.
