LINCOLN SUSPECT IN OMAHA
Police Not Inclined TO Think He IL
Man wanted for Rummcl-
hart Murder.

George Benson, the man arrested at Lin
coin by Detective Malone Of that city as a
suspect in the Josephine Rummelhart mur-
der case. was brought TO this city carly
Thursday evening in charge Of Chief Of
Detectives Savage. He was locked Up at
the city jail as suspicious character
The police would make no positive asser-
tion regarding the prisoners probable guilt
or innocence. In fact the:e appeared to
be no great reliance placed on the circum-
stances which connect Benson with the
crime
The man was received and locked up as
any ordinary prisoner He has the look Of
the usual dope tiend'-pale, cmaciated and
physical wreck. His very appearance
argues against the possibility &c His hav-
ing committed the Rummclhart crime.
The blood found upon his clothing can
be explained away by the fact Benson is
addicted to the use OF the needle" and
inserts the point in his arms. legs or any
where about the body. and the sores thus
created are very likely the sources of the
blood spots
Nevertheless. the fact that the police con-
slider the arrest of sufficient Importance
as TO bring the prisoner to this city would
indicate they have some hopes that he is
the right man or has some knowledge of
the murder
Chief Donahue said last night. after he
had seen Benson: 81 have nothing what
ever 10 say regarding this man, but only
point TO the fact he has been brought here
as an indication of what Importance | at
tach to the arrest. We will begin an cx-
animation OF Benson the first thing in the
morning"
