Osborne Pleads
Not Guilty
Alleged Slayer of John Hector of FIRE.
mont is Arraigned on Charge
of Murder.

FREMONT, Neb, Aug. 19.-(Special Tele-
gram.) -George Osborne today pleaded not
guilty to the charges of first degree murder
and of murder while attempting highway
robbery. Osborne was arraigned before
Justice Johnson for the alleged murder of
John Hector to which he made a written
confession Wednesday. Since making a
confession Osborne has secured the services
of attorneys who advised him to waive
preliminary examination. p. c. Maynard
and John Graham are Osborne's lawyers
and they have nothing to say as to what
move they will make in conducting the de-
Tense.
County Attorney Cook believes that
robbery and not self-defense constituted
Osbornes primary motive and he will push
the case along that line. The first inten-
ton OF the officers to let the charge be
granddaughter has been dropped in view of
evidence which has come into their posses
sion since the confession of Wednesday.
In that document Osborne failed entirely
to tell what became of the watch and
money known to have been in Hooters
possession before his death. Part of the
watch-chain was found with the body, but
the timepiece and several links of the chain
was missing. Osborne remains apparently
'unconcerned over his predicament.

COMMERCiALlSM VS.. ART.

Many theatrical managers are spec.
ulators, and have no interest in the
profession, apart from the money they
get out Of it. They employ the cheap,
est talent ,obtainable and give any
old kind of a show, and very often
get the money by their fake meth
DDS of advertising. On the other hand
there are a few Of the better class
managers who take pride in their pro
fessions, and are as much interested
in giving the public artistic perform
ances, as they are in getting the mon
ey derived from it. Manager Frank
G. King belongs to the latter class.
