Accused of Flying from California in the
Guise of n Tramp.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Nov. 5.-M. B.
Curtis, the actor, recently acquitted of muir
dering Police Officer Grant of San Francisco
and now said to be wanted there on charges
of bribing the jury which acquitted him,
passed through here on the Rock Island, on
mis- way east. MIR. Curtis IS not in q very
amiable mood, ana refused to say a word
about the last charge.
Il am on my way east was all he would
say. II did not skip from California, but
engagements about my new play. If you
want to talk bout that, all right
at is sad, Mr.. Curtis, that you fed from

Il did nothing of the Kind. My lawyers
said that | could come away If l wanted to,
and l guess they knew what they were talk
ing about"
With this Mr.. Curtis lost himself in the
Businesses of his Pullman, and soon after the
train drew out.
A dispatch from San Francisco stated that
MIR. Curtis had escaped on a train from Cali
fornia disguised as "a tramp and that when
he reached the Nevada state line and felt
tolerably secure from arrest, he discarded
the old garments, which his experience as a
character actor enabled him to don over his
ordinary dress, washed the tramp make
up from mis- face and made his way back into
the Pullman. The colored porters on the
train were so noncommittal on this subject
that it is probably true.

MAKING MEN HOLY.
MI. Patterson Says the Work Goes
Slowly hui Surely.

MT. Patterson Says the Work Goes On
Slowly but Surely.
At the First Presbyterian church yester-
day morning the pastor, Rev. j. NJ. Patter-
son, preached on the parable of the leaven.
The parable of the leaven teaches specii-
cally four lessons:
First-Thc need of a power exterior to
man to bring him to his high destiny. MIR.
Patterson did not dwell upon the doctrine of
total depravity, but discussed the so-called
doctrine Of evolution. He acknowledged
there was much in it, but also claimed that
in the sphere of morals evolution was quite
as likely to result in degeneration as in
publication. He cited the facts of family
discipline and civil government as evidence
that people do not believe II is safe to leave
men with license 10 do as they please, The
leaven did not belong to the meal, but was
n foreign element introduced so the gospel
was brought by Christ and hid in man.
The second lesson is that this gospel
leaven operates from within outward. The
leaven must be put in the meal, not on top
of it. So the gospel must find lodgment in
the human heart. Its chief concern is with
the heart. 1t does not tell men to quit their
meanness, TO reform, to lop off this and that
bad habit, but 70 be converted, to give their
heart to God. The work that begins thus
ends in a revolution of the life.
Tn third lesson teaches that the leayen
works by assimilation. 1t does not change
the meal into something else, does not turn
the corn meal into wheat -four, but II leavens
it all, imparts its own character to the ele-
ments as it finds them. So the gospel does
not impart any new elements of character
| but sanctiies those II finds 1t does not
make Peter over into John or Mary into
Martha. Ii did not make David a musician,
but il did make him the sweet singer Of
Israel. 1t did not make Moses a great gen
eral, but it did make him the leader of Israel
1t simply consecrates mans natural talents
and tendencies and makes him a God-fearine
man with all his peculiar tastes and tend
encies.
Fourth-The parable teaches the com
pleteness of the work of grace. The leay ell
ceases not 10 operate till ii effects ever,
till it makes a saint out of the vilest inner
This work of making mar holy Is very
slow. Life is always slow. Death alone il
sudden. But though slow, 1t is certain
Holiness shall De written over the brain an
heart ana character of the Christian.
Then this suggests the universal sway o
Christ. A little leaven leaveneth the whole
lump. This is the only eaven adapted Il
all men. IL is the only one that makes it
way by Its present utility. Christianity in
spires the brain and gives US the implements
of our modern civilization, and all mel
begin TO inquire after it.

AKESON'S A. s ASSINS WEAKEN

Benwen's Confession OF The Crime Causes
Hill Ia Lose Ills Nerv..
Yesterday when Harry Hill was shown
the confession of his partner in the cruel
murder of Matthew Akeson he completely
wilted and said: My God! that will hang
us both"
He retired to the further recesses OF his
cell and refused 10 talk any more about the
matter. After the officers withdrew he
neryously paced his cell and for the first
time seemed 10 rellile the enormity of his
crime. Heretofore he has steadily refused
TO talk and has at various times denied that
he had anything to do with the crime. He
alleged that he had never seen any of the
Akeson family, and although he was posi-
lively identified by the son OF the murdered
man he said that it was all a mistake.
While he was reading a copy of the confess
sion OF Benwell, perspiration stood out on
his face in great beads and he trembled.
After the prisoners were captured in Lin
coin they were brought to Omaha for safe
keeping. Saturday night Sheriff Tighe of
Cass county and one or two Others visited
John Benwell in his cell, aud after severe
questioning Benwell broke down and con-
fessed that he and Hill committed the crime.
He said that he met Hill at onion last Mon
day. They went TO Weeping Water and on
Tuesday went to work for Akeson husking
corn. lnty Hofheu lnefe one uuy ana were
paid off. Then they went TO Weeping Water
and purchased a revolver of cheap make.
After a few drinks they concluded 10 return
to Akeson's and rob him. When they entered
the house Hill had the gun and Benwell had
a big club. Hill shot old man Axe
son almost Immediately after entering
the kitchen because he would not hold
up his hands. The men made their escape
after numbering Akeson and after tramping
through the country for two days concluded
TO go to Lincoln ana separate. They were
spotted by Chief Cooper and Detective Ma.
lone within a half hour after they reached
Lincoln and were placed under arrest and
turned over TO the sheriff of Cass county.
Benwcll and Hill nave been identified as
former Omaha crooks who were run out Of
the city for trying TO fleece drunken men.
When it was learned that the murderers
were To be kept in Omaha until the time
for their hearing, the crowd which had as
