finding of HnvlhniVs body, returned to tho

had not been found,
Another search put) was oigautzlng to

of Sllgo and vicinity wcio much surprlscil
b) a laigc body of reporters nnd others
coming out thoro this morning to attend
tho "Inquest, to bo held at Dean's storo nt
lOo'cloik." That was tho first they had
heard of tho leportcd flndlngof tho body.
Tho most disgusted set of men to be seen
wcro n dozen or so local reporters and a
Hnltlmoro ,s'nii man who had driven ten
miles In the face of a cold north wind to
attend tho Inquest and found no body.
Tho rumor as to tho finding of tho body
originated In a report which was brought to
Rockvlllo by a young man that tho body had
been found In a well. A party thoroughly
searched tho well this morning nnd nlso
ov cry well In tho neighborhood. Up to tho
present writing tho mystcr) Is now as dark
as It ever was, with no cluo at all.
Searching parties aro still out over the
country and to day are thoroughl) exam
ining tho banks of Hock Creek.
Mr. Dean said to tho CiiiTia man that
"tbo pcoplo of tho neighborhood wcro
much surprised that any such report should
have been so vvldclv circulated,"
Tho well In which tho body was said to
have been found is about a half mllo from
Mr. Rein's storo In a negro settlement. The
prevailing theory of tho people as to tho
perpetration of the crime Istuatltwasdono
by somo negroes from Washington, In
which caso tlio body would not bo scsretcd

Thcro was something of a sensation
caused in this city this afternoon by tho re
port that a human head had been sent from

ago, which arrived at Its destination jestcr
day. Tho rumor was investigated and proved
to botruc,and it was at onco associated with
thollnvlland myster). Only the head aud
a portion of the neck was sent, and It was
encased In a box and directed to n party
thero under n ficticious name.
Steps will Immediately bo taken to learn
whether tho head was tint of tho missing

that tho ghastly object was sent to a medi

RULINGS OP TUG COURT.
When tlio Criminal Court opened this
morning to proceed with tho trial of Wm.
B. Moses, O. C. Colo and James A. Mc
Dcvltt, charged with conspiracy to kidnap
Gcorgo Ta)lor and send him to New Or
leans Mr. McDcvIlt, who was absent )es
tcrday, was present, lie explained that,
not knowing tho caso was set for trial ) cs
tcrday, ho left tho city last week on busi
ness. Ho wished n trial, aud would have
been present had ho known n day had been
set. Colonel Cook thought thcro had liecu
n misunderstanding, and asked that the
forfclluro of tho rccognlranco bo set nsldo.
Ills Honor declined to grant tho applica
tion at that time, and directed tlio trial to
proceed
Tho defendant accepted tho jury as
called, but tho Government interposed one
challenge, Assistant Distilct Attorney
Co)lc, In opening tho caso for tho prosecu
tion, promised to show that this was a con
spiracy by means of a bill piece, to forco
from Mr. Taj lor securities for certain
claims, nnd If they woio forthcoming Mr.
Moses would forego sending him to New
Orleans on tho bail piece. Colonel Cook,
In answering, pronounced the statements
untruo and not sustained by tho fact.
As tho first tcstlmon) In thcciKO tho Gov
ernment offered thu papers In tho suit of
Moses v s. To) lor. 1 ho defcuso objected ou
tho ground that thcro was no averment In
the Indictment that tho moiioy was not duo
as averred or tho claim unjust. Tho Court
suggested tho temporary postponement of
tho argument until they got further Into
the case. A gtucral statement of tho con
tents of tho papers was tlicu made to tho
Jury subject to tho objection of tho defense.
vMlllam II. Ferguson, called ns tho first
witness, testified to the an est of Mr. Tay
lor. At this point Mr, Wilson objected, and
saui uiai ociorc proving overt nets mo con
spiracy must bo prov en. Ov crt acts could
not bo proven first.
Mr. Coylo said that If they had to provo
that theso defendants put their heads to
gether and decided to do an unlawful tiling,
then ho would admit It was something they
could not prov u. But hoi ontended that
tho existence of tho conspiracy could bo
proven by tLo acts committed In further
ance of the conspiracy,
His Honor said that tho Jury must bo
satisfied that tho defendants vv cro acting lu
an unlawful combination and not Individu
al) before thero could bo nuy conspiracy or
proof of overt acts.
Tho testimony was admitted subject to
objection. Ferguson, resinning, testified
that McDevItt arrested Ta)lor near tho cor
ner of Eighth audi: streets about 1 p. m.
and a few minutes later met Mr. Moses,
who told Tn)lorthat If ho would glvo se
curity for tho Indebtedness ho would not
send him to New Orleans on the ball piece.
Taylor claimed that Moses was Indebted to
nun. jney procceucu to .Mr, Colo's otllce,
where a conversation ensued, and thon pro
ceeded to McDovltt'6 office, wheroMr. Nat
Wilson, counsel for Ta)lor, was
sent for aud subscqucutl) arrived. Ho
mado out somo papcis w hlch Tavlor swore.
Witness know It was an application for
habeas corpus. Later McDevItt called for
Taylor to como and go, that ho vv ould havo
to take him to New Orleans in compliance
with Mr. Moses' orders, 'lavlor protesting.
1 ho latter w as forced Into the carriage, and
the) drovo to Alexandria, Va. Two offi
cers wero present when Tavlor entered
tho carriage, but finding that McDevItt had
a ball pleco they did not Interfere.
Tho witness detailed an Intel view be
tween himself and Moses lu front of the
lattci's store, lu which ho claimed that bo
had been sold out, and tho w ltncss knew
that to lea fact. Moses claimed that Mc
DevItt sold him out by letting Taylor sco n
lawver In Alexandria.
Tho cross examination of tho witness was
In progress when this rcpoitcloscd.

HOW ABOUT DAKOTA?

Till! QUESTION IN CONGRESS.
Senator Harrison, who Is chairman of thu
Commlltco on Territories, and who Is
championing Dakota In her efforts to gain
admission to tho Union of States, has been
busy in his commlttco room during tho hol
idays answering n flood nt correspondence
on this subject from tho Northwest, and
picparlng his reply to Senators Vest and
lliitlcr on tho proposition to Inquire if the
Statehood movement Is not rcvolutloinr).
To n United Press reporter this morning
Senator Ilnirlson expressed Iho belief that
whatever tho result of this agitation might
be, there would ba nothing dono b) tho
citizens of Dakota that would bo unlawful,
becauso they were not disposed to Injtiro
their futitro prospects with Congress b) any
rash act.
"It Is almost enough, howcv cr," said he,
to drlv o tho pcoplo of Dakota to rev oliitlun
ary nets, to rcfusn them statehood. Such n
tiling was nuvcr known beforo In this, or
any other country nearly noo.CKX) people,
law abiding nud capable of sclf-iroxcrnmcnt,
with more than nil tho qualification for
statehood, being oxllcd and constantly re
fused It ou purely political grounds.
"It should unt'bu a surprlso to sea thoso
pcoplo desperate, for It Is despotic to keep
fiom them nil tho rights of American citi
zenship when they are American citizens
In fact. Intelligent, thrift), cncigctlc
men do not llkn to bo disfranchised, and
since the) must obey tho laws of tho United
States and bow to tho dictation ot her offi
cers, thoy most natuially want a voice In
making thoso laws nud selecting those offi
cci s.
"Already thcro nro States In Iho Union
with but ouo member in the lower house ot
Congress, and Dakota, It admitted, will
bo clearly entitled to nt least two from tho
vcry6tart. Such Injustice, I sav, belongs
to the dark days of England nnd Russia and
tho tlmo of tho Inquisition. Tho position
of Senator Vest Is unenviable both politi
cal!) and personally aud cannot bo main
tained." Dakota will monopolize u gicat deal of
tlmo nnd attention in tho Senate after thu
holidays, and several Senators aro picpar
lng themselves to speak ou this subject
when It comes beforo the Territories Com
mittee. On tho Republican sldo ot tho
Chamber It Is generally conceded that n
bill will bo passed to admit Dakota, but
vcr) Ilttlo encouragement is expected from
the House.
