CONFEssEs THE DEED.
Last night, in the presence of five
witnesses, Green confessed to his
deed, but was in ignorance of the fact
that his wife had died.
Suppose she dies?" asked the
chief.
Then / will have nothing to live
for" was the reply, lust take me out
and string me up"
According to a statement made to
the police last night by the murderer,
the motive which actuated the crime
was jealousy. Green said his wife
drank repeatedly with other men and
told of her coming home three nights
ago dead drunk, and in putting her
to bed of the discovery of a gold
watch in her stocking. The next morn
ing she left and had been at the
Fourth avenue house in this city but
one night, Thursday.
Two daughters, aged about IS and
/ II, testified to the fact that their par
ents had quarrel repeatedly. They had
resided for a number of years at Al.

County Bastile and Will Not

STORY TOLD AT INQUEST
Testimony Shows That Officer Dick
keII Had Narrow Escape from
Death at Fellows Hands.

The story Of terrific combat yester-
day between a powerful negro murder
er and an officer of the law was recated
az the coroner's inquest this morning,
when Patrolman Dick" Kell related
TO the jury the repulsive details OF
the crime, in which a 5O-year-old col
ored woman lost her life The Jury
returned a verdict in which it was
recommended that Samuel Green be
held to the grand jury for murder in
the first degree. The man had been
kept in ignorance of the fact that his
wife was dead, as the officers feared
he would attempt his own life. TnI
morning about 1880 he was brought
into Chief Brinn's office where the
coroner's mittimus was read to him
His head was bound up in bandages
as a result of the beating at the hands
of the officer, and the front of his Goa

PUTTING THE ROOF
ON NEW BUILDING

Work on the new Manual Arts build
ing is progressing rapidly and by the
end of next week it is expected that
the greater portion OF the roof will
be in place. A committee was ap-
pointed by the board of education at
the last meeting, for the purpose of
securing estimates on the equipment
necessary, and as soon as the roof is
in place, work of installation will be-
gin Immediately. 1t had been hoped
that the building would be ready for
occupancy by the first of the year,
but according to present indications
this will be an impossibility. Super
irtendent H. B. Hayden this morning
stated that the new structure would
doubtless be ready for occupancy al
the beginning of the second semester
in February.

MOLINE MAN is
BURNEDTO DEATH
DIR. W. o. Beam Loses Life in
Fire Which Destroys Barn on
Brother-in- laws Place.
TRAGEDY NEAR JOSLIN
Victim Was Out on Hunting Trip LIST
Several Days-coroner J. r.
Rose Holds Inquest.

DR.. William o. Beam, 524 Fourth
avenue, Moline, practitioner in that
city and this for the past IS years,
vas burned to death yesterday even
ing in a barn on the farm of his
bIother-in-law, R. n. Whiteside, who
lives a mile and a half west of JOS
lin. In addition to taking DR.. Beams
life the fire destroyed the barn and
ten head of horses which were in it.
At the inquest conducted by Coroner
] F. Rose the following story of the
affair was told:
Tuesday, DR.. Beam and c. B. Skin
ner went on hunting trip in the vi
cinity of Cordova. Wednesday night
Mr.. Skinner returned to Moline, Dr.
Ream starting out the next day with
a Cordova man. The doctor went to
his brother-in-law to spend the night
Shortly after $50 it was discovered
by the Whiteside family that the barn
was a mass of flames and all rushed
out to save the horses. The blaze was
too far along, however, and nothing
could be done. In the meantime DR.
Beam disappeared and when the fire
was out his dead body was found in
the ruins. The superstition is that he
rushed into the burning barn and was
either suffocated or kicked by horse
so that he could not get out.
IN PRACTICE LONG TINE.
DR.. Beam was born in Dysart, Iowa
! Oct &c, 1869. He graduated from the
Rush Medical school and the College
of Physicians and Surgeons at Chi
! cago and for % years past had made
his home in Moline where he enjoyed
a large practice.
He was married in 1895 to Miss Mar
garet L. Whiteside, who with TIVE
daughters, Margaret S. and Beatric,
s.. survive. Three brothers and fou
sisters also survive. DR.. Beam wa
a member of various fraternal organ
izations among these being the Ma
sons, Odd Fellows, Eagles, Woodme
and the North Star Benefit associf
ton, and the Rock Island County Med
, zeal society and the State Medical 81
ciety.
The remains will be brought to NJ
; line and burial services will be hel
from the late residence.

The pair went to the house, 212z

Going to the back door he knocked,
and Mrs. Davis, who lives next door,
came and going upstairs called Mrs.
Green. In the meantime, a collector,
B. F. Trottner, had arrived at the back

of the levying court. It is generally admitted that the county is in sad need of new and modern county hos pital. Judge Philpot will not recom- mend an appropriation for the Davis Hospital and it is not known whether the Hospital Association will ask for one at this session. The county has already donated $1C,O00 to the Asso- citation.
 The report of County Treasurer C. M. Nichol will show a cash balance in the county treasury of s141,99O.35, being a little less than was on hand when the county levying court met last year. This is due to the heavy expenditures made for school and road purposes and because the rail- roads were assessed only Is mill this year as against 1-4 mill last year. MT. Nichols report will show that $2,000 worth of bonds have been redeemed Among the expenses incurred reduc- ing the school fund, was the building of the Sam Taylor school and other Improvements made in the various school districts the past year.
