THE FIDELITY CASES.
PROCEEDINGS BEFORE JUSTICE GILLESPY
AND JUDGE JORDAN
Yesterday in the Case Against W. L,
Gallaghsr-Jusics Cases and Police
Naasrs-0hsr Criminal Notes.

The hearing Of w. L. Gallagher, local
superintendent Of the Fidelity and Colum-
bis Building and Loan Associations, was
resumed at ten o'clock yesterday morning,
before Justice w. H. Gulespy, in the Jail
Office The defendant was first placed on
the stand and the crOss-examination re-
sumed by Mr. Howard.
In answer 70 questions by Col. Arnett,
defendant said that he was not authorized
TO make loans 70 shareholders, but did so
as a matter of accommodation, and Tor
the profit which he expected TO receive.
He said be always believed the company
TO be honest, ana is still Of that opinion.
He had never calculated on the basis OF
the cOmpany's contracts, 10 determine
whether share Of stock could mature IN
lO2 months, because he did not know how
TO figure on the lapses. He had not known
of any person applying properly for loan
and being refused.
Mr. Howard produceda letter from Vice
President Wall, cOngratulatlug Gallagher
on having secured a man who was willing
10 put $500 in a scheme" He asked what
il meant and Gallagher replied that they
were thinking of starting company here,
TO operate locally.
Miss Theresa Smith, the young lady who
was employed in the Fidelity Office, and
who was also a defendant In the proceed
ings, was placed on the witness stand, out
her testimony was unimportant. No other
witnesses were examined for the defense.
An amusing incident occurred during the
arguments of counsel Col. Arnett made a
strong plea for the dismissal of the case.
He was followed by Mr.. Howard for the
State. Col Aruett was absent during the
examination of Miss Smith. When Mr..
Howard spoke, he referred TO Col Arnetts
plea. and said that if the Colonel had been
present 10 hear Miss Smiths testimony he
would have made a different speech. He
proceeded 10 say that Miss Smith had testi-
fed 10 a conversation in the Fidelity
Office between Col Aruett's client and Vice
President Wall, during which Gallagher
said be expected to be arrested and sent 10
prison. Col. Arnett's breath was taken
away bv this statement He Strengthened
up and remarked. "Why, l heard nothing
of that kind There was a smile on Mr.
Howard's face, and Colonel Arnett
"tumbled" "Why, John Howard. you are
the biggest liar in Ohio county he said g.
"That smile is a little too broad to fool me
with such stuff
The Justice dismissed the case against
Miss Smith, and held Gallagher in the
sum of 81 900 FOR his appearance at the next
term Of Court
Yesterday afternoon the application Of
Gallagher for a writ OF bdbCdS corpus came
up before Judge JOrdas, in the Criminal
Court The defendant was the only wit
ness examined, and argument was deferred
until this morning at halt-past MAE o'clock.

parent in the statement itself Mr.. Hall
was very earnest in the matter, deeply re-
GREETING that any erroneous or misleading
statements concerning the matter had been
given publicity. His statement was as
follows:
The reported interview of Adry Hay
ward, CLEANED through the bars Of the
Ramsey county Jail by reporters, is mac
curaJe and misleading III many particulars.
1t is true tnat during the course OF the
first pumping gave Adry Hayward, in an
attempt 10 extract from him information, l
hinted at, and l think, boldly charged,
criminal operation on the girl; but 1t was
pure bluff, as were other theories tried by
me in that inquisition, in an attempt TO get
at the facts. Adry did not believe IL true,
fact that there is absolutely no
evidence of any criminal operation
on the person Of Catherine Cling.
On the contrary, il is a fact that the COR
oners inquest, at my request, particularly
exhaustive on that one question, estaO-
lished clearly that such was not the case.
The relations between Catherine Cling and
Harry Hayward never reached any i'm
prOpriety for the inquest showed
THAT SHE DIED \ VIRGIN.
To traduCe the reputation of living
woman is infamous. To assail the memory
of the dead is damnable, and l trust the
press will give as great publicity TO this
statement as they have TO the charge that
has been made.
Among other inaccuracies the reported
interview refers 10 letter sent by Adry
to Mr. Stewart. There was no sucn letter
in this case. The only letter in the case
connected with Mr.. Stewart was his letter
TO me, and the reporters have simply made
a mistake.
THE reported interview puts Adry's
connection with the hOrrid affair in a
worse light than the facts warrant. A
full understanding of his attitude and con-
uectiOn with the case must await the Civ
ing of his testimony, but when IL is known
il will disclose that he not only was never
party TO the conspiracy, but fought and
tried TO fruStrate il, and that he never
had guilty knowledge of the affair He
was the weaker victim of a cold bloOded
and designing villain, who gave him
knowledge Of the plot and tried to pave
the way 10 involve him it.'
New evidence against Harry Hayward
was found to-day, indicating that the plan
10 murder Hittie Cling was carefully
planned. IL also confirms in a meas
ure the confession of Blixt that Hay
ward intended to burn the Ozark fats.
Benjamin H. Gilbert, an insurance man,
this evening related the incidents of con-
versatiOn he had had with Hayward We'd
neSday, November %. five days before the
night OF the murder, and tho conversation
points TO the corrobOratiOn I BliXt's testi-
mony that Harry had not fully decided TO
put the girl out of the way until Friday or
Saturday before the shooting occurred.
Mr.. Gilbert, who has known Harry for
years, said: 81 am very sure now that he
intended to either murder the girl or burn
her by firing the Ozark fats aud decided
that the shooting would be the quietest
and surest way

A PECULIAR CASE
In Which some of the Details are
Wrapped in Mystery.

In Which some of the Details are
Wrapped in Mystery.
w H. Miller, a Pinkertou detective,
who was an officer on the Wheeling police
force under James W. Sweeney, has been
working up a case in Wheeling which has
mauy peculiar features. He gave the de-
tails 10 a REGISTER reporter Yesterday
afternoon, az the same time exhibiting 3
note signed &C. A. Shafer" and a warrant
for the arrest of Fritz Lohmeier and
Joseph schooner.
IL appears from what can be gathered
from different persons, that Fritz Lob
meier, a Young man who was employed on
Joe SchOrer's farm in Marshall county, in
lSg2. had employed Mr. e. \. Schafer Of
this city, 20 look after his interests in an
estate in Germany Some time IN June OF
that year, LOhmeier came 70 town with
schooner and turned up in jacob Will
helms saloon on Market street He
had with MIN a note made
pavable four months after date to Fritz
Lohmeier. and signed &c. A. Shafer.
I.ohmeier endorsed the note, and is alleged
TO have obtained SlOO on il from Wilhelm.
Schooner was present and said the "boy
was all right meaning LOnmeier. This
is one side of the story. The other side
alleges that schooner said the note was all
right.
AT any rate, when the note was
presented at the Dollar Savings
Bank 10 was protested, and Mr.. Shafer
pronounced the signature a forgery.
After obtaining the money. Lohmeier dis
appeared, and has rot been heard of since.
Detective Miller claims 10 Oe in possession
OF information which will clear up the
mystery OF his disappearance.
Why the matter was allowed 70 90 more
than two years, without any action on the
part of the authorities until this time, is
another mystery. Miller showed q war
rant for tue arrest Of Schooner, and another
for Lohmeier, both issued by Justice +. n.
Criss we'll, Of MOundsville, aud started out
last night TO Schoner's farm, 10 place him
under arrest The hearing is set for the
9th inst, at Moundsville.

RIDGEwAY, No, December 1.-THE
most horrible human butchery ever re-
corded in this section was committed five
miles southwest Of this city this after
noon.
David G. Spragg, in TT Of insanity,
murdered his wife and two children. and
mortally wounded his two step-chudren
with butcherknife, then took his own
life with a rifle.
In the yard near the gate when neigh
bOrs arrived were the remains OF Mrs.
Spragg, mutilated almost beyond recOgni-
ton in the pool Of blood. In one corner OF
tne house lay the lifeless body Of Galley,
four years old, and in the other Albert, a
SIX year old boy. Al0ert's head, rest
ing on the slate with which be had
been playing, was a mass Of blood and
brains, while blood still ooZed from the
gaping wounds in the thrOats OF each. On
tue kitchen floor, with blood smeared al
over his hands and face stil clenchinR
tue terrible instrument OF death in his
bOny hands and with his head almost
severed from his body, lay the author
of the awful scene. Great pools Of blood
had gathered on the floors, making more
sickening the terrible scene. Two step
children OF SprdR-s DOLu uuucL o4A years
old. were taken 10 the home Of neigh
bor's, where they are dying from dozens Of
cuts that
COVERED THEIR LITTLE BODIES.
Dora Onstatt, stepchild, eleven years
old. eluded her stepfather, and ran TO
neighoors, and gave the alarm. She said
Spragg had been complaining all morning
of headache. First he tied the
hands Of one child behind him and
deliberately cut his throat. Mrs. Spragg
attempted % interfere. He caught her and
literally hacked her head and face into
slices and then cutting her head almost
from her body, dragged her by the hair into
the yard. Covered with gore and every
minute becoming more frenzied, the human
monster now returned 20 the house again
20 cOutinne his work. Dora. who was sick
i'm bed, elm bed out Of a window and es-
capped.
Finally Spragg locked the door and
butchered his stepchildren. The two step
children who were still alive were cared
for, out cannot recover.
