About the Matter Details ol ix

Singularly Ftranso nntlPeculiar Crime.

Murder nnd sulelda marked the curfewhour of yesterday's blustering autumnSunday In Omaha.

The real motlvo for the fearful dcublo-

crltuo Is not as clear as it might be , but theIndications point to a rather queer combma-

tion

-

of jealousy and scinl-rcllglous frenzy.

However obscure may bo the motlvo thatprompted the deed , its results stand outonly too plainly, for the body ol Nottio-Biedlor, the murderess nnd suicide,

.

was there Unit the events occurred thatcul-initiated In last night's tragedy. Both of thepirtlos were hero away from homoana practically among strangers , sothat Information as to their pre-

vious

¬

relations was very meager ,

but patient search nnd careful Investigationelicited the following information as to thecrime and tha state of affairs that led ub to it :

Captain Sinltb-wbo, was ordered to leavethe Bluffs some thirty days ago to toke com-

mand

¬

of the branch of the army stationed at-

Oslialoosa , came to Omaha last Thursdayfrom the latter city with eight of her soldiersto participate In the reception and demonstra-tion

¬

in honor of tbo visit of La Marecholo-BoothCllbborn and Marshal Ballluglou-Booth. .

At I ended Service Vrtttcrduy.She was present yesterday afternoon at the

nnny barracks on Davenport street , betweenSeventeenth and Eighteenth , nt n mootinghold at 2:80: o'clock , nnd the Blodlor woman

sooins to Imva also oocn there , but whethershe was there during the onilro meeting isnot known , as no one noticed horuntil afterthe close of the service. At that time shewas In the roar portion of the church andsent up word to Captain Smith that shewanted to talk with her. The latter repliedto tlio messenger that she was binv thenand could not grant tlio request , but afterdating lunch wont back and talked to theBlodlor woman for some tlmo.

What was said by either of them Is un-

known¬

, as the only person who no-

ticed¬

what was going on was Lieu-tenant

¬

Mary Bannister of What Cheer , la. ,

who had carried Miss Blcdlcr's message toCaptain Smith.

When interrogated by a BEE representa-tive

¬

after the shooting Lieutenant Bannisterstated that slio saw the captain go back nndengage In conversation with the woman , butwas so far away that she could tell nothingabout what was said.

One of the other ofllcors , Captain Wallaceof Marsbnlltown , tlnully told the lieutenantto call the captain , as she wished her to gowith her (Captain Wallace ) do.vii to theirboarding place-

to Her Victim.The mooting had closed noout 1:110: nnd It

was then fully an hour later , the oftlcorshaving had their lunch served there at thechurch , nnd the lieutenant told CaptainBmlth to hurry , as they must get back intime for the mooting In the evening at theFirst Presbyterian church. The captain triedto leave her companion , but the latter burredher way , standing before her In the aisle andrefusing to allow her to pass ,

The lieutenant approached nearer andoverheard the captain say several times thatshe must go , and the other seemed to bo re-

monstrating¬

against It , and ilnally expressedtbo threu that 1 ( the cantata wont out and'loft her lore she would be sorry for It-

Smith loft her , however, and afternttendlnlj to a few minor matters , started toleave the church In company with CaptainWullacV The Blodlor uonmn passed outshortly i afterward and hurrying for-

ward¬

( overtook the other two a-

hort tllstnnco east on the oppositeildu of the street , Just across from the PalaceBtubtcs at Seventeenth und Davenport. Shedrew a revolver from the folds of her dross ,

and leveling it full at Captain Smith's buck ,pulled the trigger.

The range was so close that the bulletcould uot miss , and the plorclng screams ofthe wounded woman wcro borne out upontha night wind almost simultaneously withthe crack of the revolver.

The captain and her companion started torun , shrieking as they wont , nnd the deter-mined

¬

murderess , apparently fearing thatber bullotbad not found u tatal murk , pursuedthem a few steps , and then halting sent an.other shot hurtling after her Intended vic ¬

tim.It evidently flow wide of Its mark for Cap-tain

¬

Smith was staggering when It wasfired , and fell after going a short distancefurther.

Uululde Swiftly Followed.-Tbo

.

murderess paused only au Instant,

Placing tno weapon at her temple ahapressed the trigger a third time , nnd as thebullet crashed through her brain plunpodforward Into the gutter , her face strikingagainst the curbstone.-

A.

crowd gathered as If by magic , nnd-beloro It was fully known what had takenplace , the Biedlor woman was'borno Intothe ofllco of the Pulaco stables , and CaptainSmith was carried Into the drug store atSixteenth and Davenport.

The scone in the little stable ofllco was nweird ono. The body of the unconsciouswoman was laid upon the roughplank floor , and n hastily i oiled up blanketwas tnado to servo us a pillow.-A

.

half doen hostlers , attracted from thestall room below by the shots , crowded aboutthe silent form. A couple of smoky lampsshed an uncertain light upon the scene. Adoctor elbowed his way through the crowd ,

and Kneeling upon tbo door sought the faintlynickering pulse-

of tlio itlcdlcr.-"Sho

."Stand.

back , and give us some air" wasthe sharp order of tno doctor, but before thenwo struck spectators could obey , there wasa slight movement of the limp , whlto hands ,

n faint , convulsive gasp , nnd the services ofneither air , science nor longerneeded-

.It.

was n gruesome deathbed spectacle , butthe horrillcd witnesses stood there , ovenafter dissolution had takoii place , staringwith fascinated gaze at the palo face , theghastly hole torn by the bullet , and the Ir-

regular¬

rod line th .t marked the path of thellfo lluld as It sought another hidingplace In the folds of the friendly blanket.-

"I.

can do nothing now1 said the physicianwith professional calmness , but oven thr.tstatement was a welcome relief from theintense silence , and then as ho reached forhis probe to conduct his search for themessenger of death in the Interest.1) ofscience , the horrors of the death scone woreforgotten in the curiosity as to the revela-tions

¬

of a cursory post raortum examination.But there was nn Interruption. The door

opened , and ns n volco said , "Horo'a herbrother , " a man oinorgod from the excited ,

surging throng without , aud entered thelittle apartment.-

Ho

.

Would Not Talk.-

Ho

.

was Indifferently dressed , and in theface that was shaded by a white slouch hatwas plainly expressed the xvild hope that afearful rumor would prove untrue that thedead might prove to bo other than his own.-

Ho.

pressed eagerly forward , but ono glanceat the upturned face told the story.

Hope was dissipated , and dropping on hisknees beside the corpse the man bowed hisfuco in his hands and wopt. Slowly rising to-

bis foot ho said In response to numerous in-

quiries¬

:

"Her name Is Hattlo Clark , and that's all Iwill say about It. "

Ho repeatedly refused to talic about thematter , or say anything except that the deadgirl was his sister , and soon disappeared.

The coroner was notified , but was unableto leave his home owing to Illness , and'gavoorders by telephone to have the body removedto Heafoy & Hcpfoy'a. Soon afterward As-

sistant¬

Coroner Allison appeared , and afterviewing the remains ordered the undertakerto take them in charge.-

At.

the morgue , the man Clark , who saidho lived at Fort Omuha , again called to see-the remains. Ho said that if tbo body wasthat of his slstor , there would bo a diamondshaped scar on the forehead , Just at tbo edgeof the hair. There was po such mark , andho admitted that ho was mistaken.

¬

statements , convincing the officers thatho was either crazy or a monumental liar.

Her Horn 31.in Idcntlllcd.That again loft the Identity of the dead

woman undisclosed , and her name was tbongiven as BIgolow or Bogloy and her homo asCouncil Bluffs.

The remains wore finally identified by-

Messrs. . E. A. Wlckham , Harry Bowmanand F. A. Buckman of the Bluffs. The lat-ter

¬

gentleman stated that the dead womanhad frequently cashed checks for the Citylaundry In the bank with which ho is con-

nected¬

, and her name was soon learned.-

AVns

.

n, Friend of Her Victim.-

It.

was learned In the Bluffs that the deadwoman and her younger sister baa been in-

tbo habit of attending the meetings of theSalvation army together , and that the olderono had been a warm fnoud of CaptainSmith. The family was shocked to hear ofthe tragedy. The dead girl loft homo Imme-diately

¬

after noon to como to Omaha , butsaid nothing of the object of her visit. Herrelatives know nothing of her having a re-

volver-

In her possession , and could not Imag-ine

¬

how or where she obtained It-

.It.

was learned that Miss Blodlor stood onthe corner of Fifteenth nnd Farnam streetsat "o'clock In the afternoon in front of theopera house nnd was noticed Intently watch-Ing

-the Salvation army parade , which was

passing nt the tiino-

.Captain.

Smith's Condition.Captain Smith was removed from the drug-

store , whither Mio was first taken , to herboarding place at 1513 Davenport strcot ,

nnd n physician attended her there.She had hardly boon placed upon a-

bed before she was attacked witha violent hemorrhage from tbo lungs ,

and bled very copiously , the homar' hagoalso being accompanied by violent retching.The wound was probed but the ball could notbo located. It had entered between thefloating ribs , n llttlo to the loft of tha spinallolumn and passed forward through the lung.

Story of tlio Captain.The wounded woman suffered Intensely ,

but was perfectly conscious and talkedrationally. In reply to the reporter's ques-tions

¬

sha stated that she had not seon"Nottlo"for several weeks until that afternoon , butthat she know her very well. When askedwhy the woman lin.1 shot her she answered :

"It was n case of Jealousy. ""Why was she Jealous was there a third

party ! ""No," she replied , "sho was Jealous because

Ifdldn't talk to her more. "Her suffering n re vented further ques-

tioning¬

,

The room was lllled with sobbing Salvationsoldiers , and at n signal from their loaderthey knelt around tno bcdsldo of their griev-ously

¬

wounded comrade , tha doctor Joiningthorn , and united In a fervent supplication forher recovery. It was rather an unusualdemonstration fora slox room ana ono mightsuppose that It would have hud a ratherInjurious effect upon the patient , but sheJoined in with the others , and occasionallyher tones could bo distinguished In the fer-vent

¬

and not unmusical medley of voices.The room was finally cleared , the soldiers

bolng called away to attend the eveningmeeting, and all others with the exception ofthose needed to minister to the wants of thepatient bolng excluded , so that tholr lamenta-tions

¬

would not reach her oars-

.No

.

Hope for Her Life.The doctor said that ho could offer DO bopo

of his patient's recovery , although ho did notthink the wound necessarily fatal , btlll hocould not tell to a certainty until ho couldfind tbo bullet , but at a Into hour this had uotbeen accomplished.

Captain Smith lias been connected withthe army for llvo years , and Is regarded ns nmost faithful nnd ofllclont ofllcor. Herparents llvo at Clinton , la. , nnd her father Is-

an pnglncor on the Burlington , Cedar Uaplds& Northern. They were notified last even-ing

¬

by telegraph of tno critical condition oftheir daughter. The captain had boonstationed at OUuitnva , Kansas City , CouncilBluffs" , and OsHalooja.

Ono Theory K.xplodod.The theory that there was some man In

the case on whose account the Blcdlor womanmight Imvo felt harshly toward CaptainSmith was closely followed out , but It Isstated that Lieutenant Berry of Boone , nowstationed at Dos Molnes , and to whom thecaptain Is supposed to bo engaged , was notacquainted with Miss Bicdler nnd never sawhor. Ho is In the city , and was at the bod'-sldo of his fiancee last ovoning.

Her Clothing Marked.-In

.

examining the clothing of the deadwoman at the morgue , the undertaker foundher collar marked "Nettlo B. , " confirmingthe belief that she was Indeed Miss NettleBiedlor.

The deceased must have been n woman ofvery prepossessing appearance. She wasabove the medium build , with ovenfeatures , and short , curly brown hnlr.She was attired in a close fitting blackdross , plush coat and black felt sailor hat.Even her violent death , whloh caused theblood to settle under the eyes , nnd the crim-son

¬

contusions on the forehead nnd nosecaused by contract with tbo curbing , had notrobbed the face of its attractiveness.-

CuriotiH.

People at the Morgue.-A

.crowd of several hundred curious mon

gathered about the front doors of Heafoy &Hoafcy's undertaking establishment Just afterthe body had been taken into the morgue.The front doors were locked and the bodywas laid out.

About 8 o'clock the doors wore opened andthe waiting crowd of curious people wasallowed to pass through and see thebody. No ono seemed to know the deadwoman. In less than ten minutes the crowdhad all taken a view of tbo corps ? and do-

parted.-

. Between 0 and 10 o'clock scarcelya person viewed the remains , butat 10:30: a score or so askedadmittance and permission to look atthe dead woman. Among the bunch were ahalf dozen women who stood by the sldo ofthe corpse and stared at the body.

Many questions were asked of the under-takers

¬

by the women which plainly showedthat they had been drawn there by curiosityand not to take a look at n dead friend.

Four or flvo traveling men came In nndafter gazing at the cold whlto face said thattbo woman bad fomorly worked At arestaurant In Norfolk , but they could nottell the girl's' namo.-

Dr..

. C. G. Surngno , who was present whenMiss Biedlor died , took possession of iiO centsIn money and n sealed but unstamped letterthat were in her pockets , nnd refused to de-

liver¬

them to the undertaker. Ho was al-

lowed¬

to retain the property by the coronerwho refused to make a demand for it-

.'Oiilyn.

Rumor.The report was current nt Salvation army

headquarters that the Biodler woman bad arather questionable reputation and that Cap-tain

¬

Smith had endeavored to cut loose fromher on that account. It was stated thattbo two had chummed togethermoro or loss during the captain'ssojourn in the Bluffs , but thefriendship became very obnoxious to thelatter. It was also assorted that MissBiedler had not only strayed from tbo pathof rectltudo and virtue , but was also en-

deavoring¬

to draw Captain Smith aside fromthe course sbo was pursuing , and angered ather loss of what littto Influence she formerlyhad , in sheer desperation had shot her andthen taken her own llfo-

.Inquest.

Today.The Inquest over the body of the dead girl

will bo hold today at Heafoy & Hcafoy's.Captain Wallace , Lieutenant Bannister andother members of the army , wno had In-

tended¬

leaving for homo on the morningtrain :* , will remain to glvo their testimonybefore the coroner's Jury.

The weapon with which the shooting wasdone is In the hands of the assistant coroner-.It

.

is a 32-calibor revolver , of the "Bulldog"pattern , nnd contains throe empty shells. Itwas picked up on the sidewalk scarcely twofeet away from whore the body of MissBledlcr lay-

.AVhat.

Captain Wallace Said.Captain Wallace of Marstmlltown was

walking with Captain Smith at the time theshooting took placo. She said to u lieu re-porter

¬:

"Wo came out of the hall nnd started downthe street toward the headquarters. Wo hadgone only a short distance when this girlwho shot Captain Smith catno up behind usand said she wanted to spop.k a moment withCaptain Smith. Wo did not stop , for Cap-tain

¬

Smith replied that she did not havetlmo to talk with hor. The giri said :

" 'Well , you'll bo sorry for it if you don'ttalk with mo.-

1"Wo wont on and Just as wo got onpositothe brick livery stable I noard a revolvershot right at our backs , and Captain Smithscreamed nnd started to run. I ran with ber.-I

.

heard a second shot , uut I do not knowwhether there wore any moro than two shotstired or not. Wo ran on down to the corner.1 thought that the girl was still alter us-

."I.

never know tno girl who shot CaptainSmith. She was not n member of the Sal-vation

¬

army." Captain Wallace anpoarod to-bo very much distressed and cast down bythe tragedy and her eyes filled with tears re-peatedly

¬

as she told wh.it she know aboutthe tragedy.-

HIH

.

Actions Very .Singular.-Mr.

.. Henry 0. Crum , of the United States

customs odlco was ono of the llrst to roaishthe si-eno of the tragedy after the Blodlorgirl (ell. Ho pinked up tbo revolver and heldit until Sergeant arrived and thenbanded It to him. Mr. Crum says that theman Clark who claimed that tno Bicdler girlwas his slstor afterward denied It and saidthat ho was mistaken.

Clark visited the inorgno andsaid that If the dead girl washis sister ho could very easilyidentify her because she had a birthmark Inthe form of a diamond just In the edge of thehair on her forehead. Ho said Just as bobegun to examine the forehead of tbo suicidethat the birthmark was shaped like a spadeon a playing curd. Ho failed to find anyblrthmanc , and declared that the girl was nothis sister. His action appeared to bo verysingular. It was generally supposed that theman was cither lusano or trying his bund at-lying. .

but the nomination of thcso ofllcors HS

well as of ecclesiastical dignitaries mustproceed from the councll-of state.

The council of state as now organizedconsists of two conservative * la council ,

and nine liberals. It wns because the con-

party had no representation on thecouncil of state that Ministers Irrarnzooro-nnd Walker Martinez . handed in tholrresignations the other day. Now that twoof their party Imvo bcenchoson , the ministerswill probably consent to remain in thecouncil. .

F.T some tlmo pastthose familiar with Its affairs haveknown that the bank wns In a strait ,but it was thought that it would bo nblo topull through all right.

appsars that shortly nftor Colonel J.-

This showing In writing , Judge JohnM. Duncan , counsel for tbo International &Great Northern receivership , say.s , showedtn a general way that the bank was abund-antly

¬

solvent. In order , however , to protectthe railroad deposit , the bank on October ilexecuted n deed of trust covering real estateIn this city and elsewhere valued nt $17,000-.In

.

this deed of trust Judge Felix J. McCordwas named trustee. Since November I , theexact data not being nscortamablo , a seconddeed of trust for the same purpose was exe-cuted

¬

, convoying to Judge John M. Duncan ,

ns trustee , certain collaterals including over-drafts

¬

up to October 27 , amount-ing

¬In Iho aggregate to100,000. .

A schedule of the securities ,

debts nnd overdrafts Is attached to the deedof trust. Last night thinking the railroaddeposits Insufficiently secured , ReceiverCampbell ran the ntta'chmcnt ubovo referredto. In addition to the two deeds of trust ,Bonner & Bonncr yesterday afternoon exe-cuted

¬

another ono , covering nil not Includedor covered by the deeds nbovo named. Inthis latter deed certain parties are named aspreferred creditors , nnd II. M.VhltnkorIsnamed ns trustee. It is in fact an assign-ment

¬

for the benefit of certain preferredcreditors and depositors generally.

Just what the loss to outside banks will bocannot bo learned , although It is thought itwill bo small , as most of them had withdrawntheir balances or wore secured. Tboindividual nnd business deposit ac-count

¬

was heavy and the losswill bo severely felt , many monlosing tbo savings of yoars.

The other banks , tbo First National andthe City National , nro all right. They nrostrong and solvent and command the confi-dence

¬

of our people , who propose to stand bythorn. The failure will occasion no run onthorn nor the withdrawal of a single deposit.
