MAY BEIMPEACHED
Danger Ahead for Alleged Dis
honest Nebraska Officials.
They Are Said to Have Been Inn
pIicated in Much Crookedness
Recently Unearthed.
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.

sENBATIOSAL DEVELOPMENTS.
LINCOLN, Neb, March 17.-As a re-
suit of the most exciting session of the
legislature in the history of the state,
lasting all night and up to late Wednes-
day afternoon, the preliminary arrange
ments for the impeachment trial of a
number of state officials were made.
1t is the elimination of almost two
months work on the part of the legis-
lature investigating alleged frauds
among state officials, particularly the
board of public lands and buildings.
CrOOkedness Unearthed.
When the legislature convened it
was confronted with numerous charges
of crookedness against a number of
prominent state officials who have held
Office in Nebraska for the last twenty
years. The careful work of the
committee appointed to do some
wholesale investigating caused the
collapse of the Capital national
bank. Then it was discov-
cred that President w. c. Mosher had
appropriated about $1,000, 600 of other
peoples money. Four hundred thou
sand dollars of this belonged to the
state. Mosher publicly declared that
the state officials comprising the state
house ring" must stand by him in his
troubles. and insinuated that he could
tell much to their detriment.
The Penitentiary Frauds.
Whether due to this cause or other
wise, Mosher's bond was placed at only
$40, 900, when he was known to have
gotten away with ten times that
amount These disclosures compelled
the committee to investigate the pen
itentiary management, as Mosher
was the lessee of the estab-
lishment. The committee found
even more startling evidence of
fraud. In addition to finding that
the convicts were treated with awful
cruelty one of the inmates was found
to have been murdered by the guards
and the erection of the addition to the
penitentiary recently completed to
have been conducted with regard to
the enriching of Mosher and his
friends
Gov. Boyd Implicated.
The board of public lands and build
AhSSy VI Wv 41OJ OcCC-
tary of State Allen, Attorney General
Hastings and A. R. Humphrey, COM
missioner of public lands, was held
responsible for permitting Mosher to
get possession of state funds in the
construction of the penitentiary annex.
Resolutions of Impeachment.
Tuesday night the question of adopt
ing the committees report was before
the legislature and occasioned the ex-
citing session. Early Wednes-
day morning it was finally
adopted, but ex-Gov. Boyd was not
censured. Resolutions of impeach-
ment were presented, and will be
acted upon to-day. There is some
doubt that the impeachment proceed
ings will be ordered unless the evi-
dence of gross neglect of duty on the
part of some state officials is positive
Where the blame lies is the only ques-
ton to be developed by the impeach-
ment proceedings.

A TRAGIC TALE.
A Despondent Lover Commits MUIR
der and Suicide. '@
Alma Nunemacher, Daughter of a
Rich MiIwaukeean, Slain by w. 3:
MiIler-He Kills Himself.
SHOT BY HER LOVER.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, March IS
The bodies of Miss Alma Nunemacher,
daughter of Herman Nunemacher, the
Milwaukee capitalist, and that of w.
B. Miller, young attorney of Milwau-
kee, were found in the woods near
here Thursday. Miss Nunemacher had
been stopping with her parents at the
Crescent hotel The young couple dis
appeared last Friday morning and it
was supposed they had eloped.
Murder and Suicide.
When the bodies were discovered a
revolver was found at the side of young
Miller with four empty chambers.
This told the tragic tale of what is
supposed to have been a mutually
desired death. The coroner's jury de-
cided that Miss Nunemacher came
to her death by means of a gun
shot wound at Mr.. Miller's hands, but
with her consent, and that Mr.. Miller
came to his death at his own hands
with suicidal intent The bodies of the
young couple were found in thicket
of pines about half mile north of the
Louisville & Nashville station by boy.
Shot Through the Temple.
The couple were lying side by side in
the woods. In her head was a pistol
wound through the left temple. His
head was perforated by ball in the
right temple. This passed clear
through his head and came out under
the left eye. Both were dressed
in the height of fashion. On the un-
fortunate girls hands were many jew
els. On his body were his watch and
chain. The only visible wounds (there
has been no autopsy were those men,
toned. On small pine tree within a
few feet of the bodies were the hats of
the couple. just below on the same
tree were her gauntlets covering his
brown gloves.
Parents Opposed the Match.
Miss Nunemacher had been spending
the winter here with her parents, Last
week Mr.. Miller, to whom she was en-
gagged, arrived Her parents OPP
posed the match, and on Friday
after luncheon she left the house
AS night came on and she did
not return, and Mr.. Miller had also
it was thought they had
gone away to be married. Sunday the
parents left here, hoping to find their
daughter in New Orleans. Miss Nune-
macher's parents are now in Hot
Springs, Ark, and the sad news has
been telepraDhed to them
