Police wrestling with . Peculiar Mur-
der Case.
New YORK, June 0.-The lower part
Of the trunk of q man was found by
two boys In the woods at One Hundred
and Seventy.sixth street and Under.
elife avenue, this city, to-day. II was
terribly mutilatcd and shows plainly
that . murder has been committed.
II was wrapped in oilcloth and
MANILA paper, exactly as was the mp
per part Of . trunk found in the East
river of Eleventh street Saturday.
The two are parts Of the same body.
The two pieces were found more than
eight miles apart, one in the water
and the other on land. The part found
to-day comprised the lower part of the
trunk from he fifth rib to hehtps, the
legs having been severed from the body
at the hip joints. 1t was wrapped in
three folds of oilcioth. The oilcloth
al evidently cut from the same piece
as that which incloscd the upper part
Of the trunk. 1t was new and of a
cheap pattern, bright red. 1t is like
that commonly used for ~tablecloths in
tenement houses.
The find Of to-day was in q bulky
bundle lying against q wall Mex TO
UndercliRe avenue, where THO shrub
berry is very thick. 1t has not been
~dissected, which does AWAY with the
belief that the body had been
handled by medical students. Beside,
IL had been terribly hacked when sep
ara.ed from the upper portion. 1t was
sent TO the morgue where it exactly
fitted the part found Saturday.

Senate Finance Committee Rejects Com.
promise-Pig Lead Rates Raised.
WASHINGTON, June 2y.-The Senate
committee on finance decided to-day
to leave the rate Of ~ cents on lead
ore as fixed by the committee and also
to leave iron ore as originally de-
termined by the committee and passed
by the House. The tea paragraph was
again passed over for future consider
alton and the decision on coal was re-
served until after q hearing to be
given to the conflicting interests to-
night.
The committee decided to advance
the rate on pig lead to 2k cents per
pound. This Is an increase Of half q
cent over the House rate, which the
committee did not originally disturb.
and was made as compensation for the
increase on lead ore.
In the Senate, lead ore was passed
over and the leather schedule was
taken up. and Mr.. Allison proposed a
change relating to hides, making the
rate 20 per cent ad valorem and strik-
ing out the proviso as to drawbacks.
Mr.. Smith of New Jersey said the new
rate was equal to about four cents per
pound. Mr.. Vest spoke against the
proposed duty and spoke of the ''op-
pressive action of Mr.. Armour to com
pei butchers to use his dressed beef"
and stated that the evidence. seemed
ground for Indictment, but nothing
was done.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Hoar entered into
q controversy. at times personal, as to
rights Of federal prosecution for an
offense wholly within state lines.

SUPREME COURT MUsrACT

Decision Mt AFFECTING Building
and Loan Associations.
II the decision made by Judge Kin
kaid in the case Of the Chadrop building
and Loan association against Mrs, Fan
ME O'Linn, tried in district court at
Chadron last week, holds, the various
loan and building associations through
out the state might as we'll go out OF
business at once 1t was a foreclosure
case and Mrs. O'Linn fought it,, her de-
Tense being usury and unconstitution-
atty Of the law. The trial Of 1t occu-
pied nearly two days and Judge Kim
kaid held that the law Of 1879 author
izing the formation of homestead COR
porations was unconstitutional and
found for the defendant. The case will,
of course, be taken to the supreme
court.
The result Of the Ease will be anx-
iously watched by every building and
loan association in the state, rs nearly
all of them have outstanding loans
made prior to 1891. In the Chadron
association nearly one-half Of the out
standing loans are in the third series
and this series is u very large one and
the next to mature. OF course II Judge
Kinkaid's decision holds all those who
have loans prior and and up to 1891 and
are paying on them can stop payments
and IL the association brings foreclos-
nre proceedings the same defense that
Mrs. O'Linn made, usury and uncon.
stitutionaiity of the law, can be made
by them and they will win. The de-
cision gives Mrs. Rogers, q client Of At
torney Hebcgger, q first lien on the
whole property and both Mr.. Hebeggel
and his client are greatly pleased over
the result of the trial. 1t remains &c
be seen, however, what the supreme
court will do with the decision and II
It is reversed the status of the cast
will be materially changed.

HEAVY SENTENCE.
BARTLEY GETS TWENTY
YEARS.
Must Also Pay . Fine OF ssoa,1os-Mo-
tion for New Trial O%verruied, Sentence
Passed. Appeal to supreme Court, Sem
tencs Suspended and Bond at 0i25,0OO.

Although the time for filing a mo
lion for a new trial did not expire I'M
til s p. m. Friday, Joseph =. BARLEY,
ex-state treasurer, who was convicted
ut Omaha last week Of the embezzle-
ment Of $751;, ss4.75 Of state funds, filed
his motion Friday moaning and through
his attorneys, G. o Whedon and Il. j.
Mahoney, announced to the court that
he had some evidence he wished TO
submit in support of the allegations Of
his motion.
Mr.. Mahoney said one OF the points
on which he desired evidence was that
the announcement made by the coun-
~ attorney in the presence Of the en-
tire panel of jurors that an attempt had
been made TO bribe sorne Of the Jurors,
and the subsequent arrest and sentence
Of Josiah $. Wright on the charge Of
contempt Of court by an attempt to
bride a juror, affected the jurors sitting
on the BARLEY case with a pretudicial
feeling against BARLEY. That the an
nouncement was unnecessary es the
court was already informed, and the
announcement was only intended to
operate against the defendant OF the
minds of the Jurors waiting to be
called to SIT on the trial.
He wanted q new trial also because
the state had special detectives at work
following the jury, night and day, eat
ing ut the same table, running errands
for the jurors and frequently walking
with them to and from their meals
and at such times holding converse
with each other.
He also wished to show misconduct
on the part Of the bailiffs, who had the
jury in charge, the claim being that
they invited the detectives to work
with them ane the jurors.
The state, represented by County
Attorney Baldrige and Attorney.
General Smyth, objected to the intro
duction of oral testimony, claiming
that the defense caa only sustain it,
motion by affidavits.
This objection was sustained by
Judge Baker, who said the defense
must proceed by affidavit.
The motion for a new trial contains
152 assignments OF error and fact
among which latter are the three mat
ters mentioned by Mr.. Mahoney.
Saturday Judge Baker overruled the
motion for a new trial and sentenced
BARLEY to the pehitentiary for twenty
years and to pay a fine of 1903, 76s.9o
