MRS. GEIGER NOW
HELD FOR MURDER
POLICE FIND SMITHS TRUNK
Woman Still Obdurate. In Box Car
at Platte.

at Platte.
With the Identification of the
horses and wagon sold by John
Harry Dale Smith to Frank Egan OF
Denver. as the property of volly
Mann of Ration. N. NJ, the police
have become convinced that the story
told by Mrs. Jennie Miner Geiger. or
Smith. concerning the murder OF the
man is but partly true and that she
Is as guilty as the man Smith, or
Dale, whom they are now seeking.
The identification of the dead mans
property proves that Mann was MUIR
dered for his outfit.
The police have received dis
patch from Ogalalla saying the
woman has not yet confessed. She
has retold her story, however, sup
plying many important omissions.
This morning the police took
charge OF an old trunk left by Smith
in his room over Burns saloon, at
the corner of Thirty-sixth and Lari-
mer streets, after his mysterious dis
appearance a week ago last We'd
nesday. In this trunk were found a
pair of gray trousers which had been
shortened. The pieces cut from the
legs were also found in the trunk.
When making the sensational
charges against her husband Mrs.
Smith, 1t will be remembered, de-
clared her husband had taken the
trousers of the dead mans body and
then had shortened them so he could
wear them. The trousers were
shown to Cecil Mann, but he was un-
able to state whether or not they
had been his brothers. property.
Sheriff Beal. OF Ogalalla, however,
is confident that within a few days
he will be in possession OF facts
which will force the woman to talk,
and 1t Is believed by the Denver
that she took part IN the
Killing and knows more about it than
any other person.
A freight conductor was found
Tuesday morning who Identified a
picture Of Mrs. Smith printed in a
newspaper as that OF . woman who
was found BY him in bot car near
North Plata. He says q man was
with her, and hot box led to their
discovery. They were elected from
the train at North Platte.
1t has also been learned that Volly
Mann stopped at q farmhouse near
Gothenburg, about forty miles east
OF North Platte. and that he was
alone at the time. He was driving
a wagon and team.
After leaving North Platte Mann
was seen accompanied by man and
a woman. indicating that he picked
them up at some point west of North
Platte and circumstantially connect
ing Mrs Smith and her husband
with Mann at that point.

Special to the Daily "rf.une
Ogalalla. Neb.. Nov. 11.-A charge
of murder will probably be filed
against Mrs. Smith by Sheriff Beal
This course was practically decided
upon yesterday at a conference with
Mann's brother. Sheriff Beal stated
today that he has enough evidence
Of the murder to force a confession
from Mrs. Smith. and unless she
tells the truth now formal charges
will be filed against her for killing
Mann.

BEHIND IT'S ITINERARY
TORPEDO FLoTILLA WILL PRO
CEED TO SANDY POINT.

1t seems settled now that the torpedo
hotilla. on its way around to the Pacific.
Will not pay visit to Buenos Ayres as
was originally projected According to
the original plan the fiotilla was to pro-
ceed from Rio to Montevideo. At that
point some of the boats were to be sent,
one at time perhaps. to Buenos Ayres
in order to afford the men liberty. Now.
however. the flotilla is said to be three
days behind it's itinerary, it is probable
that the entire cruise up the Platte will
be cut out, and that without stopping at
Montevideo or Buenos Ayres, the little
vessels will endeavor to make the long
run of 257S miles from Rio to Sandy
Point. in the Straits of Magellan. Hence
they must be supplied with coal at sea,
which will afford another opportunity to
make greatly desired test or they must
be taken in tow of the battleships. The
official statement issued at the Navy De-
partment yesterday is as follows:
THE torpedo fotilla, having fallen SO
far behind it's itinerary, the COM
,nander-in-chief of the battleship fleet
has requested that the destroyers ac-
COMPANY the battleships from Rio to
sandy Point The commander -in-cbief
has been authorized by. the department.
IN use his discretion in this matter. and
II is quite likely that the destubyers VIII
not ston at intermediate ports between
Rto and Sandy Point.
