Make strong Fight.


BEATRICE, May 19.-(Special.)--Th Jury
in the Zimmerman murder case was sent out
this forenoon and within an hour returned
verdict of not guilty. The case through
out has been a peculiarly interesting one.
On the evening of June 5, 1895, Graham, the
postmaster at Bower, Jefferson county, was
confronted in his store by two masked men
and orlered to throw up his hands Instead
of complying Graham grabbed chair and
started for his assalants, whereupon he was
shot twice in the chest and again in the
head, death resulting. About the 18th of the
month following William Henry and Louis
Zimmerman were arrested for the crime.
After being bound over to appear at the dis
trict court of Jefferson county the defend
ants secured a change Of venue to Gage
county. At the February term Henry waJ
tried and notwithstanding the defense es-
tabishcd an excellent a,abi he was convicted
of murder in the Second degree. molten
for new trial was filed, and being over
ruled at the present term by Judge Stull the
defendant was sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary. Henry's attorneys gave notice
of appeal and the defendant is now in the
Gage county Jail awaiting the action of the
supreme court. One peculiar feature of the
two cases is that it was clearly shown by the
testimony in both cases that the defendants
were together at the time of the trial and
were either Camped out near RivertOn or
were at or near the scene of the murder
Attorneys feel confident that upon the show
ing they will now be able to secure a new
trial for HEnry and that he will not be
further prosecuted. The main fact the pro
secution depended upon in the Zimmerman
case was a confession made by Zimmerman
that Henry did the killing, and that he was
with him at the time. 1t developed in the
case however, that Zimmerman was led to
make the confession by being made to be-
lieve through means of a bogus telegram
that Henry had confessed and charged him
(zimmermam with doing the shooting. The
courts instructions upon this point were very
been obtained through fear. threats or prom
ses no weight should be given the same by
the jury.
