NEILL'S TRIAL
HIS OWN TESTIMONY DAMAGING
Alleged Burglar Of RI. Ticket ONCE
Admits He GambIed.

The preliminary trial of ]. P. NELL, who
is alleged to have burglarized the Rock
Island ticket Office last Saturday night,
was commenced in the city court yester-
day afternoon. The case will be resumed
this morning. NeilTs attorneys are Ro-
dolph Hatfield and brother Of the de-
PENDANT, who came over from Chetopa
to assist him. Neill was accompanied to
the court room by his wife, who is also
one of the witnesses. There were about
ten witnesses for the state, nearly all Of
whom testified, but after hearing the tes-
timony of Detective Sutton the state
rested its case. Neill was on the stand
for long time in his own behalf, and
was so severely questioned by the county
attorney that his own story was deemed
to be detrimental to his case, and proved
him to be a gambler and very reckless
young man. Some of his testimony re-
garding the money was in almost direct
contradiction of what he is alleged to
have told the officers soon after his ar
rest, and his explanations of how he
came by the money Immediately after
the robbery occurred seemed to be con-
Trajectory and misleading. When Nell
was first arrested by officer Fox and
Bedford Wood, the Rock Island detect
i've, he was taken to the police station
and sweated by the officers. Detective
Sutton asked him if he had any money,
and he replied no. Then Sutton search
ed him and found $50 secreted in his
sock. The rest of the $62 that was miss
ing from the money drawer of the ticket
office could not be accounted for by the
officers until NELL was put on the witness
stand. He was known to have lost some
money at the gambling rooms the night
Of the robbery. and he said he had gone
over to his house and took about S25 out
of the dresser drawer. His wife had told
the officers previously that there was not
a dollar in the house. Other statements
made by Mrs. Neil and her husband
proved conclusively TO the officers mind
that he was the man who burglarized the
depot, and it is considered that the case
will go against him in spite of every
thing. Neill was day operator for the
Rock Island company, but led too gay a
life for the salary he was getting.

twenty-seven months of age. Mr.. Good
man says it was an immense framed ami
NAL and he fed it carefully for several
months for the purpose of seeing what
weight it would be when he killed it for
his own private consumption. Even he
was surprised at its enormous weight.

other cuts were of proportionate
weight The one hog yielded as much
meat as four common hogs.

conclusion has been reached after ma
ture consideration and elaboration. Many
of you were here when I came in July
1852. others came later. but all because Of
the faithful service rendered have been
fully appreciated. Words cannot express
my feelings for and Interest in you No
word from you can express to me more
impressively than have your acts, that
these feelings have been fully recipro-
Gated. This is a happy condition OF az
fairs. and I attribute it to the methods
which have been applied in the conduct
of our business, which have always at
least meant TO be IN the interest of the
femploye and the public as well as the
employer. 1t is useless TO add that with
-outlyour hearty cooperation the result
would have been different. This condi-
ton might easily prevail in other lines OF
business and other locations If all inter

considered. I congratulate YOU on your
ability to earn and our ability TO pay you
the same wages for eleven hours work
as you received for eighteen hours work

beautiful drive, we arrived at the village of
Liberty. As we We're driving slowly along

costed by a man who came rushing out of a
barn. We We're preparing to deliver up all
valuables when We found he was a brother

making purchases we assembled in the sup
per room. where the tables were fairly
crowded with good things. OF that spread
we can only say that it was one Of those
delicious suppers which Liberty alone can
give and words could not do it justice.
We next entered the chapter room, which
was beautifully decorated with potted plants
and cut flowers of many varieties The
work was done in faultless manner, and
we were entertained with very interesting
program, consisting of speeches, readings,
recitations, and vocal and instrumental
music. After spending social hour we
again entered the supper room, where

for the Beach, and although the rain wa
wet the pleasure of our visit was not even
dampened. Weread in last weeks Journal

The Journal Of last Saturday contained a
letter from your special correspondent at

certainty" He ignored entirely my candi-
dacy and spoke of my departure from the

The Maine correspondence in the Bos-
ton Sunday Herald naturally gives prom
inence to the prohibition topic. 1t is
reported that the temperance crusade in
Calais is prosecuted with undiminished
zeal and determination to permanent
ly suppress the liquor traffic. Of Au-
gusta it is said that the officers of the
law have relaxed their vigilance and the
dives are resuming business. In Port
land also the dealers have plucked up
courage, and while some of the saloons
bear the legend CLOSED in front, the
side or rear doors are open and the bar
keepers on duty The only change not
ed in Bangor is the ISIS uing of an edict
that prohibition shall prohibit on Sun
days and after 10 p. m. on week days.
Otherwise the Bangor plan will pre-
vail. In Saco the liquor dealers were
given IS hours to dispose of their goods
and go out of business, and Oct. 18th it
was announced that Saco was a dry
town. The Unitarian conference in
Watervillc last week. and the Grand
Lodge OF Good Templars in session at
Gardiner adopted prohibition resolu-
tons. The Unitarians deplore the lax
enforcement of the prohibitory law. af-
firm the duty of the church in this re-
gard and recommend the appointment
of a committee by the conference which
shall devise some method by which the
conference may assist in making the eX-
isting condition better. The Good Tenn
plars resolution was as follows:
''Resolved, that as an order we thor
oughly believe in the enforcement of
our prohibitory law, and we stand
ready to oppose any man OF any organ
iZatiOn, political or otherwise, that
tavors Re submission of our temperance
Laws to the people. Our motto is ''DoWn
with the saloons i'll Maine.
The committee on enforcement re-
ported that the following notice be sent
to the Mayor and City Marshal Of Gar
diner:
We. the grand lodge of Maine l. O.
&. T., in convention assembled, learn
with deep regret that there are l6 or
more places in your city where the law
against the sale of Intoxicating liquors
is daily being violated, and we respect
fully request that such places be closed
or the keepers thereof be made to re-
spect the laws of our State
We recommend that the grand lodge
instruct its secretary to write to the
sheriff of kennebec county asking that
the laws be enforced throughout the
county.
We also recommend that each dis
trict lodge appoint committee to look
after gambling machines and other VIC
lations of the laws against morality,
and bring complaints when necessary.

legged panic among the rumsellers of
Portland and Augusta, remarks that
Mr.. Manley's letter is bearing fruit. .
If Mr.. Manley's letters are so potent it
is great pity that he did not write

we should have been spared twenty-five
years Of lax enforcement or no enforce
ment Portland Press.
Why alleged panic?" If there was not
a real panic, then we have been msin-
formed by the Maine dailies: and it is
on the same authority that we ascribed
potency to Mr.. Manley's letter AS to
the hardness of his epistolary efforts we
have nothing to say. There are various
quotations that would apply here, and
