George Morgan, Who Assaulted
and Murdered a Child,
Officers Removed Him to the State peni-
Tertiary thousands at
the Morgue.

Omaha, Nov. Ada Gaskins' multi
ated body was found in small out
building in the rear of No. 1S071a Dear
born street at 2 o'clock this morning.
She had been outraged and murdered.
Within an hour George Morgan, Ed
Sanford and Henry Booker, three young
men, were in custody charged with the
crime.
The murder and rape of little Ida
Gaskins, an 11-year-old child, was posi-
lively traced to George Morgan, a
teamster He lives near where the body
was found and was the last man seen
with her. His clothes were covered
with blood when arrested. SO great was
the feeling against the prisoner that he
was hurriedly removed to the peniten-
tiary. Afterwards a committee appoint
ed by those favoring lynching went
through the Jail to satisfy the people
that the murderer was not there. To-
night a crowd Of several hundred peO-
pie surrounded the Jail They were
orderly and drawn more by curiosity
than any disposition to do violence.
Early in the morning a crowd was
about the doors of the morgue. The
body was taken to the ground floor and
then admission was granted to all.
From that early hour until little after
noon, the morgue was thronged. A
steady line Of people poured in, each
person stopping to gaze moment with
yelling eyes upon that innocent face
1t was estimated that before noon 5000
people had looked upon the dead body.

posture as soon as he left his mother,
and prepared to return to the jail. With
his oVercoat swung careleSsly over his
arm he walked leisurely out of the
room, twirling his slight mustache with
apparently as little concern as If he
were merely a spectator of, instead OF
the principal figure in, the exciting
scene.
Aside from the spectators, Mrs. No
BILE, Blanche Lamonts aunt, and Maud
Lamont the dead girls sister, were APP
parently the happiest persons in the
room. When the verdict was annouEc-
ed Maud Lamont sprang from her seat,
clapped her hands and then cried from
sheer excitement. Mrs. Noble mixed
smiles with tears, and shook hands with
a number of friends who crowded
around to congratulate her.
AS soon as Durrant left the building
the crowd surged out of the room and
gathered around the door out of which
the prisoner usually came to reach the
prison van. Fearing that some Vio-
lence might be offered the prisoner, he
was taken out of another door and
driven by a crcuitOuS route ia the
county jail.
The verdict fell with all its force on
Durrant and his family, who had bank
ed all their hopes on a disagreement
While Mrs Durrant knew that it was
among the possibilities that her son
would not be acquitted, her friends said
she steadfastly maintained that shad-
oW of doubt would rest in one of the
Jurors minds, and that her son would
not be convicted. She was therefore
totally unprepared for the jury to find
her son guilty in 20 minutes. When the
verdict was announced the whole
weight of her sorrow seemed to fall up
on her, and she gave way to uncon-
trollable grief.
BY common consent District Attorney
Barnes is given most of the credit for
cOnvicting the greatest murder case
that was ever tried in California. While
the police department Gid excellent
work, it is believed that Mr.. Barnes
address had much to do with removing
any lingering doubts from the mind of
the jurors, if at any time there was a
juror who was not convinced Of Dur
rants guilt.
THE USUAL APPEAL.
The case will be appealed to the
supreme court, and it is expected that
nearly a year will elapse before de-
cision will be obtained. General T12k-

FITz5lMMoN6 HUNTS FOR CoRBETT

A Large Crowd ruIiOW, Anficipa ting an
ImrrOmptu Stt.io.
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 3.-The ex-
element over the prize-fight question
has entirely died out and things have
settled down to a normal condition.
Bob FitZSimmOns spent the day with
a party of local admirers, and in the
evening went to the Union station in
company with a party Of newspaper
men to meet the CannOn-Dall from Hot
Springs, on which COrbett was expect
ed to arrive. A large crowd followed
him, probably in anticipation Of an inn
promptu set-to, but Corbett was not on
the train. FitzsimmOns' movements are
uncertain. He will give show here to-
morrow night, but Martin Julian has
not decided upon his plans after that
St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. "a special to
the Republic from Dallas, Texas, says:
Dan A. Stuart arrived here from Hot
Springs tonight. He said: There is yet
a chance for the FitZsimmons
fight to take place. l believe the men
will fight If given a chance. The first
thing to be done Is to find a place for
them. I shall go to Ell PasO to look
after matters in that locality. 1t will
take some little time to arrange the de-
tails, but l have hopes Of success"

HELD WITHOUT Sail FOR MURDER

Henry Capps aging OF w. A. Gnweiler
Was "a Peculiar Crime
Boise, Nov. 4.-Henry L. Caps was
today held without bail for the murder
Of w. A. Onweiler. The tragedy occurr-
ed about 10 days ago near Meridian, and
from the story told at the time it was
generally supposed there was a meas
ure Of self-defense in the act of Caps.
Testimony brought out at the prelim-
mary hearing has, however, indicated
that the killing may have been an I'M
provoked murder
1t appears that Capps beat his victim
down with a shovel while the latter
was opening a gate. Capps claimed
that Onweier drew revolver on him
and 1t was claimed that he picked the
weapon up from the ground after On
weller fell and handed it to q neighbor
who came up. The testimony shows that
there Is great doubt about this, one
man swearing positively that Capps
reached Into the mans pocket and took
the gun out after he had killed him.
1t was an almost useless pistol and only
one chamber was loaded. Prominent
attorneys have been retained on each
side and the case promises to be one OF
the most bitterly contested murder
trials ever witnessed here.
