THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21. 1892

At the time Gen. Lawton was shot, "al
except the officers were behind cover"
Have we also in our army that dangerous
old fiction that 1t is necessary for the Of
hcers to stand up and make targets of
themselves for the sharpshooters of the
enemy in order that they may not be sus-
pected Of eOwardice? or is It necessary
that the officers shall stand. so that they
may quickly convey their commands to
their men? If the latter is the cause the
need is great and instant for an improved
method Of signaling during battle.

FLAG AT HALF MAST.
Railway Officials Are Unable to Ex-
plain the Motive.

Yesterday the flag that floats from
the top of the general offices of the
Short Line in this city was at half mast
in honor of the dead man. The officials
of the road still maintain that they
were in ignorance of any motive until
they read the accounts in the papers
1t was apparent in the offices of the
building yesterday that the effect of
the terrible tragedy was still felt 1t
was the sole topic of discussion among
the clerks. who spoke of it in Whispers
Everyone moved through the Railways
upon tip toe, as it were, and it was evil
dent that the shadow of death still how
cred over the scene of the murder The
office of O'Melyeney was kept securely
locked, and no one was allowed to go
into it. 1t was learned that Mr..
George O'Melveney, a brother of the
murdered man, left st. Louis last night,
and will arrive here some time tomor-
row. The funeral will probably take
place Saturday, and perhaps not until
Sunday.
1t was reported that Mills was the
captain of K company, which was one
of those that went to Honolulu, but this
is a mistake. He was promoted from
a lieutenancy in X company to be cap
tain of company C, which was one of
the companies that went to Cuba. but
he never Joined his company, being
mustered out of the service on account
of his physical disability. 1t was re-

MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN.
DR.. H. A. Anderson Clears Up An
Important Point.

Dr. H. A. Anderson said last night
that he was willing to go on the Wit
ness stand and swear that OtMelveney
might have said What are You doing,
Fred?" or What do you mean, Fred ~
after the first shot was fired. DIR. An
derson yesterday made a careful exam
ination of the dead mans wounds.
He found that one shot. presumably
the first, would not have been instan-
taneously fatal. Nor would the result
ant shock necessarily have de-
prived O'Melveney of consciousness.
The Importance of DR.. Anderson's tes-
timony is readily apparent The de-
Tense viii argue that O'Melveney was
instantly killed and that he could not
possibly have made the remark over
heard by Chief Clerk Critzer.
If he did make the inquiry. it would
tend to show that Mills attack was
altogether unexpected and that O'Mel-
veney didn't know why he was being
slain. If he didn't know the theory of
the woman IL the case is materially
weakened.

MILLS AND BENBRooK.
Confined In the Same Cell at the
County Jail.

A striking feature of Mills incarcera-
ton at the county Jail is his occupying
the same cell with John H. Benbrook,
the slayer of Burton c. Morris. 1t
isn't exactly a case in which the old
maxim about birds of a feather is ap-
plicable, but Mills is locked up with
Benbrook through quite a series of cir
cumstances. There are two large cells
in the upstairs of the county Jail, one
of which is used for women, but being
occupied at present, Mills could not be
placed there The wheel is full up
stairs and but one or two sections in
the lower part are. empty. 1t Will be
remembered that Benbrook was placed
upstairs in one of the two large cells.
1t is half carpeted, has table and
chairs, and two hunks in it.
So when Mills was taken to the
county Jail yesterday afternoon, there
was a question as to what should pc
done with the prisoner.
Above all, the officers saw melan-
choly stare in Mills eye that, to say
the least, led them to doubt the prfs-
oner's perfect sanity, and the idea OF
leaving him alone, was not cherished
All circumstances considered, the Of
ficers thought best to give him com
panion, but still they were in guam
dairy as to whom he should be.
1t WAS Iu6If lIlGl "
the rescue He volunteered to share
his big room with O'Melveney's muir
derer, and there the two men, ac-
cused of the highest crime known to
man, and perpetrators Of two tragedies
that have thrilled Salt Lake within the
past six months, are confined.
Mills forenoon at the city Jail was
not eventful. He got up early and at
10 O'Clock had a light breakfast from
a restaurant and was allowed to re-
main in the chiefs office, where he re-
ceived Judge Powers and number of
other callers.
Frederick Lyon, the surveyor, and
T. Langton, an Idaho sheepman, were
among the latter. Lyon served with
Mills in the engineers regiment and
was well acquainted with him through
this army association which was the
principal topic of their conversation.
Rev Wallace, superintendent of st.
Marks hospital, was another caller.
He declined to say whether or not
Mills wife had sent him any word, but
took occasion to denounce the Tribune'S
purported interview with him and the
evidently imaginative account of what
took place at the hospital, as a raw
fake"
Rev. Wallace stated that his visit to
the accused had no significance. He
merely called as friend, he said.

MILLS ARRAIGNMENr.
Plea of Not Guilty Entered By His
Attorney.

AT the close of the inquest yesterday,
O'Melveney's clerk, w. E. Critzer,
swore to a complaint charging Mills
with murder in the first degree. The
instrument was drawn by Assistant
County Attorneys Gunter and Van
Cott
warrant followed the drafting of
the complaint, and was placed in the
hands of Deputy Sheriffs Dowse and
Harries for service. Accordingly, the
two officers went to Chief Hilton's Of
flee and placed Mills under arrest, tax
ing him Immediately to Judge Som
mer's office for arraignment.
Attorney Joseph Lippman appeared
for the defense and waived the read
ing of the complaint, entering a plea
of not guilty. He was then committed
to the sheriff without bonds to await
further action in his case. The time
for the preliminary examination will be
agreed upon today. 1t will probably be
held Monday morning next.
The procedure followed by the county
attorney in turning over the prisoner
to the sheriff was commented upon at
that they made the arrest, and that
the defendant should, as a matter of
courtesy, if for no other reason, be left
with them for the time being, at least.
It will be remembered that .Benbrook
was not committed to the Sheriff until
the time of the preliminary eXamina-
ton had been set. Agar the question
of what justice shall conduct the hear
ing has arisen. The county attorney
holds that he has the right to designate
before whom the case shall be heard,
and, as was the case at the time of the
Benbrook hearing. the police are Won
dering WhV Judge SOmmer rather
than Judge Timmony, who is the city
justice, was selected before whom to
file the papers.
One official who studied over the
statutes was very emphatic.
They never will take another man
from here" he declared. THE county
attorney has no right to do it. 1t looks
like he was undertaking to regulate the
salaries of all the precinct justices in
town, by giving them case when he
sees fit. He isn't backed by any stat
ute. In any event, the coroner should
not be allowed to act as a committing
magistrate in the same case

AT o'MELvENEY's RESIDENCE.
Mills Never Charged o'Melveney
With Improper Conduct.


One who is in possession of the facts,
made the positive statement yesterday
that Mills did not go to OMelveney's
house for the purpose of charging him
in his wife's presence with having been
intimate with Mrs. Mills, but that, upon
the contrary, the subject of O'Mel-
veney's elimination was not preached
at the conference. He went there for
an entirely different purpose, which
cannot be made public at this time. At
the conference only the subject of a
Salt Lake physicians connection with
Mrs. Mills was discussed, and it was
proven. as was at that time supposed,
satisfactorily to Mills, that the doctor
in question was responsible for his
wife's infidelity. Further than this it
is reported that when the conference at
the O'Melveney residence ended, Mills,
if he had any idea that O'Melveney
had been intimate with his wife, had
had his mind entirely disabused of any
such idea.
The two men left the house together
and started down town, apparently
upon the best of terms. They separated
and O'Melveney went to his office,
While Mills went to the Ricketts, block.
When he arrived there it was noticed
that he appeared to be greatly agitated
over something that seemed to be prey
ing upon his mind. He took some pa
pers out of his trunk and then went
over to the Kenyon, where he register
ed. As nearly as his movements can be
traced he next went to O'Melveney's
office, where he committed the muir
der.
What transpired after he and O'Mel-
veney left the latters residence will
perhaps never be known unless Mills
himself should make it public. When
he parted from OMelveney, from all
that can be learned, it was not his in
tention to kill the chief engineer, and
what happened to make him change his
mind is not known
1t will be remembered that when
O'Melveney reached his office he re-
marked to his chief clerk that he was
worried about Mills, as he seemed to
be very. much depressed, and he feared
that he might do himself bodily harm.
This strengthens the theory of tempo
rary insanity, as advanced by one who
is acquainted with the facts in the
case.
1t is now thought, and upon the best
OF evidence, that Mrs. Mills, in a very
recent interview with her husband.
falsely accused two men as being the
authors of her ruin, and that one of
these was O'Melveney. 1t is also a fact
that Mills was impressed with the idea
that his wife had been crirninally init
mate with some third party This is
known to be fact, for he made a mos
thorough investigation in this particu-
lar phase of the case, and it was to
pursue this investigation that he went
to O'Melveney's house, and the rela
tons of this third party with his wife
were discussed there.
