I Miss Leona Bonnell, the woman
in the case, is being detained pend
ing the inquest So far as is known
she was the last person with Rustin
prior to the shooting. She had been
with him in his office and had
walked with him the distance of
two miles to within two blocks of
his home, parting from him about
midnight.
He meant only to go to the house
for some article and then to return
to her. She waited an hour, but he
did not come. Then she returned
to her apartments. From there she
called his residence by telephone,
but was informed that he had not
been at home. Twice later she
called, only to receive the same re-
ply. She did not hear of the shoot
ing until the next day. The police
believe her story
So where was Rustin during the
three hours between his parting
with the woman and the hour of
the shooting? No trace of his
whereabouts during that period can
be found.
Mrs. Rustin explains the failure
to report the case to the police I'M
til after her husband was dead by
the statement that she left it to the
physicians summoned to attend her
husband, and in the excitement and
the work of the operation it was
overlooked.
The Rustins were prominent So
cially. They entertained in a lavish
manner. He was young, handsome
and had won success and recogni-
ton in his profession by brilliant
work. He was good natured and
popular. His wife was beautiful.
They had everything, seemingly, to
make them happy
And as it is Omahas first society
murder the public is reveling in the
mystery, the possibilities and the
endless conjecture of an altogether
remarkable case.

BEAR TRIES NO PLAY
THE BURGLAR

TACOMA, Sept. 10.-Hearing a
step on the front porch of her sum-
mer home at Long Branch, several
evenings ago, Mrs. Thomas j..
Fleetwood, of Tacoma, started to-
ward the door. Passing a window
on the way she looked out and was
terror-stricken to see a large black
bear nosing the door and trying to
get in.
She hastily jerked down the win
dow and barricaded the door, ex-
pecting bruin would try to force 1t.
The bear took his departure, how
ever, without burther intrusion.

lavish with his affections in other
quarters. far removed from the ten
derloin. That he had numerous enc
mics is conceded. Hence the theory
of murder for revenge.
The bullet, which struck him in
the right side of the stomach, was
at just the height a man inside the
door would hold pistol to inflict a
body wound.
The police reject the suicide the
DRY because no pistol was found;
his clothing was not powder
marked and physician would
never shoot himself in the stomach,
which could not have produced in
slant death, but would have insured
tremendous suffering.
The burglary theory is not much
credited because there was no evil
dence in the house of a burglar
having been about.
So all Omaha is asking with an
increasing expectancy: What was
the motive and who fired the shot?

TMrEey'S Constitution


TURKEY is the latest country to grant constitu-
ton to its people, but the document came very un-
willingly and only relinquished at the point OF
the bayonet. For years Turkey has been one OF the
worst mismanaged countries in the world. Altho
Russia has unsavory reputation as to cruelty to-
wards the people, it is mild in comparison to what
takes place in Turkey under its despotic form OF
government. Perhaps the coming constitution will
revive, what Europeans facetiously call, "the sick
man of Europe" The constitution aims to correct
the many abuses which were permitted to accumu-
late in past years. and provdes Personal liberty, no
punishment without trial, religious liberation, free
press equality of all Ottoman subjects, security OF
property, involability of domicie and abolition OF
torture.
Ever since the days of King John the foregoing
bill of rights has been incorporated in the consttu
tons governing the various countries Punishment
without trial is at the root of most of the evils which
now prevail in Russia and Turkey; and personal lib
erty, which embraces free speech will eventually
eradicate the orthodox theory Of high treason for
anyone to criticise the government government
whose ruler must remain in continual hiding for fear
of assassination, is certainly in need of decided
change.

PENSACOLA Florida, was recently the scene of a
serious conflict between the law and mob, the lat
ter being victorious. A negro, who had committed
heinous offense, was being guarded by the sheriff
and his deputies and altho the sheriff fired into the
crowd to intmidate them, they overpowered him and
succeeded in lynching the negro.
Whenever black commits an atrocious
crime the people simply lose control OF their pas
sions and Immediately take the law into their own
hands. This sheriff did all that he possibly could
to protect the wretch from the wild mob the law
could take its course, but the who composed the
crowd were too impatient and demanded instant
punishment for the man who had shocked the entire
community by his brutal crime We may talk
against lynching and the harmful influence such
lynchings have upon the city in which they take
place, but there is staying the uDgovernabe rage
of mob in the face of an outrageous crime Its
numbers not only lends holiness to the enterprise
but causes it to be needless Of the law in wreakng
its vengeance. 4HaWa&
In the North such lynchings seldom occur. 1t
is not because the people are more awsbiding than
