BOD ORMAN’S HABEAS CORPUS TRIAL AND
APPLICATION FOR BAIL.
Immense and Eager Audience—The Disgusting and
Contradictory Testimony—How Bud
Bears Himself—nis Chances,
the Testimony, Etc.
Judge Rimes was ready at 9 o’clock thij
morning to hear the habeas corpus application
of W. R. Orman for bail, now under arrest
for the killing of Bud Ilughston last
Tuesday. An immense crowd had gathered
in (he corridors of the court h„use at an
early hour, and surged in and out of the
hallways, wearing an eager, expectaht look.
It was nearly 10 o’clock before the judge
took ins seat on the bench, by which time
the district court room was crowded with
men a*nd women, the latter of the demimonde.
Bud Orman was brought into the
court room at 10 o’clock by Sheriff Harris.
Orman looked rather nervous, but not as
much so as might have been expected. His
counsel, Mess's. Herring & Kelley andT. A.
Blair were with him. The state was represented
by Messrs. J. W. Taylor, county
attorney, and C. B. Pearre. Some twenty
odd witnesses were sworn, men and women,
and put under the rules. Counsel for the
prisoner stated _that to expedite matters
they would admit, at the outset, that Bud
Hughston was dead, and that he had been
killed by W. R. Orman, now at the bar of
the court. *
A. H. KNOTT,
policeman, was called. Ills testimony was
substantially as given at the coroner’s inquest,
and as already published in The Day.
He was the first to reach Hughston after the
shooting; ughston was not quite dead at
that time. The defence did not question
him.
CHAS. NOEL,
another of the coroner’s witnesses, had
nothing new to tell. The defense did not
question him.
KATE HORTON,
who was the occupant of ITughston’s hack
when the latter was killed, and who had already
given testimony at the coroner’s inquest
testified she was being driven from
the Central City HotSl to Stella Nolan’s.
When I first saw Orman he was standing in
the middle of the street, pistol in hand. He
fired two shots. I didn’t hear any words:
the hack was going in an ordinary trot.
Hughston was drinking that morning. Miss
Horton then described the wild flight of the
horses, herself in the hack, to the circus
grounds, where they were checked; didn’t
know the state of feeling between Hughston
and Orman, at any time. The defence told
Miss Horton to stand aside.
SUL DOWNS
employed in E. Pugh’s saloon: I saw Mr.
Orman in our saloon the morning of the killing,
about ten o’clock; saw Hughston in the
saloon drinking about five minutes before
Orman came; Orman walked in at the back
door and walked out again the way he came,
without saying a tvord; he walked leisurely;
went toward the square; fifteen minutes afterward
I heard shots; I don’t know of any
bad feeling between the men; Hughston
said, while in saloon Orman had been talking
about him (H.) and he wanted to meet
him with the party who told him, when one
or the other would get whipped, provided
Orman acknowledged to such talk. Hughston
was drinking, enough to show it by his
talk; he said Orman said a negro whore was
keeping him (Hughston) ; the woman was
Annie Thompson; didn’t see Hughston have
any weapons. The defence did not ask a
question of this witness.
LUKE MOORE.
I went to the scene of the shooting; Hughston
lay on his face shot and bleeding;
helped to remove him; saw no weapons on
him; don’t know anything of state of feeling
between the men; saw Hughston at recorder’s
court that|morning; didn’t talk with him.
The defence did not question Mr. Moore.
FANNIE ROBERTS,
who also testified at the coroner’s inquest,
had nothing material more to tell than on
the previous occasion. The state didn’t ask
her anything.
LOUIS STERN KORB
w as called and said i! I saw Bud Orman the
morning of the killing, in the back room of
Herring & Keley’s law office; I left him
there; that was before the killing; Mr. Kelley
was in there; I did not hear what Orman
said, if anything; he seemed cool; I
w£nt away; 1 saw him two hours before this,
at his (Orman’s) restaurant; didn’t hear
Orman say anything about Hughston. Witness
said he didn’t know what Orman’s
business was in Herring & Kelley’s office.
The defense did not interrogate Sternkorb.
At this juncture considerable delay occurred
by counsel for the defense retiring to consuit
with witnesses and have additional subpoenas
issued.
JOE LE1TO,
summoned for the defence: I know Bud
Orman and knew Bud Hughston. The
morning of the killing, about 6:50* Bud
Hughston drove up to Orman’s saloon and
asked for Orman. The barkeeper said Bud
Orman wasn’t there. Hughston said: “I
wan’t to see him; he’s been talking about
me, saying I slept with a coon; I want to
make him take it back. Ilis sister sleeps
with coons too. That’s all I heard. Hughston
didn’t stay there two minutes and drove
away.” Examined by the state. Hughston
had two colored women, (one of them
Amanda Jackson) in his hack; didn’t know
the other; Hughston sat on the box of his
hack. I saw Bud Orman that morning, a
little later, perhaps fifteen minutes; he came
into my store and asked me what Hughston
had said about him. I told him nothing; I
wanted to keep peace. Bud Orman didn’t
say anything more; walked right out; if he
had a pistol I didn’t see it.
MONROE STARR,
called for the detence: I know Bud Hughstoil
and Bud Orman; saw them both the day
of the killing. I work in Orman’s saloon
restaurant. About 6:30 a. m., Hughston
drove up to the saloon and said : “Where is
Bud Orman?” I said ;you know he is at home
and don’t get down here until 8 or 9 o’clock.
Hughston said: “well, I want to see him;
he has been talking about Annie Brown
keeping me. His sister sleeps with coons
too, and G—d d—m him if he don’.t hush
about me I am going to kill him or he’ll kill
me.” Cross examined* There was nobody in
Hughston’s hack; there were two ladies in
our dining room; don’t know them; I saw
them get out of the carriage; they left in Bud
Hughston’s hack; I work for Orman; am
his cook; Hughston and the ladies drove
away down ihe alley; when they first drove
up, he got down, opened the door, walked
into the dining room, called to Charlie (the
waiter) to wait on the ladies; then he went
out to tie his horses.
Majors Pearre crossquestioned this witness
quite severely, the performance being
amusing at times. Starr persisted, however,
in his statement that Hughston said, ‘‘I’ll
whip Bud Orman on this morning, or he’ll
whip me; /’// kill him, or he'll kill me
Bud Orman came down about 7 o’clock and
eat breakfast. I didn’t hear him ask or say
anything to me or anybody about Hughston.
I saw Orman with a pistol shortly after he
came in. I told Orman “a man has been looking
for you.” He said “allright;” didn’t
ask who the man was; he was in a good
humor.
MARTHA DOWNS,
called for defence. I saw Bud Hughstou
last Tuesday morning, about ’/ o’clock, in
front of Bud Orman’s saloon. I heard him
say he wanted to see Orman; that the latter
had said Miss Annie was a nigger and
was supporting him; that Bad had to take
it back or he would whip him; that Bud
Orman’s sister [Here the language is too
obscene to be given. It was as severe on
Orman’s sister though as language could
be.] Hughston was talking to me. There
was nobody in the carriage. The state
here crossexamined, but Martha was not
fazed in the least and stuck to her previous
statements. She resumed. Later I saw Bud
Orman in his restaurant, He asked me
what Hughston said about hint; I would
not tell him. Pretty soon, an hour later, he
came to my house and asked me if he had
me up as a witness would I tell him what
I heard Hughston say about him or his
sister. I told him I would tell the truth
about it. I saw him go up in town after he
left my house. Then I saw him a third
time, about 9:30 o’clock; he was sitting in
his saloon, behind the counter. He put on
his coat and left the saloon; I didn’t see
him take a pistol or any weapon. Just a
few minutes afterwards I heard a pistol fire.
I know Sis Orman, Bud’s sister, have known
her ever since I have been here, and that’s
as long as I can remember. I don’t know
nothing about her reputation, but have heard
people make remarks about her. A sharp
contest ensued between counsel on each
side to get witness to make a statement
about Miss Orman’s good name. Maj.
Pearre would interrogate and Capt. Herring
object. The court was constantly appealed
to by each side and arbitrated with
decisions. Finally the witness said: 1
can’t say that I know anything about Miss
Orman’s reputation. People generally say
it is pretty rough; they say she is bad. I
I saw her week before last. Maj. Pearre
asked “what is Miss Orman’s condition
now?" The defense objected to this question
and the court sustained it. Another
question was asked: “Have you ever heard
of Bud Orman abusing his sister; and impugning
her good name?” The court ruled

THE STATE.
Austin, September 9.—The preliminary
examination of Charles Dick, charged wijh
attempt to assassinate his wife, has been
going on several days. The evidence is con
Aiding. Mrs. Dick and her mother both
say positively Dick made the assault. Mrs.
D;ck states he had knocked her down several
times before. He wanted her baby and
she resisted his efforts to take it by force.
On the other hand, his brotherinlaw and
the man at whose house he boarded at Waco
swear lie was at Waco at the time the murdc.
r was attempted.
IN GENERAL.
Rock Springs, Wy., September 10.—
Seven hundred Chinamen returned here yesterday
under escort of four companies of
troops. The miners, it is alleged, threaten
to destroy the company’s buildings, all of
which are under strong guard. Serious
trouble is feared as soon as the miners think
they have an opportunity to carry out their
threats.
Leavenworth, Kas., September to.—
General Miles has returned from an extended
trip through the Indian Territory.
He states the cattle of the Arapahoe and
Cheyenne cattle company, and others, will
all be out of the territory within one month
from this date. The general states that he
has stationed officers at each post with sufficient
command to protect the cattlemen. The
officers will also see to the sorting out of
any cattle belonging to the Indians which
may have been absorbed by the herds. This
precludes all possibility of any conflict between
the Indians and the cattlemen.
Chicago, September to.—The easterly
gale which swept over the lake Tuesday and
yesterday, was more severe and greater in
area than any other gale of the season. Returns
thus far show that the damage to
shipping exposed was quite general. The
lake, on the west shore between Chicago
and Milwaukee, is filled with floating lumber,
shingles and laths, and in various
places small pieces of wreckage have been
seen. A number of vessels are long overdue
here and their coming is anxiously
awaited. An unknown vessel was wrecked
at Five Rivers, Wis., yesterday, about five
miles north of the harbor piers. Nothing
was found to indicate the name of the vessel
nor have any bodies been discovered on
shore and unless the crew abandoned the
vessel or vessels wrecked and sought safely
in some other craft, they must have perished.
Reports are still coming from all along the
lakeshore of vessels driven ashore and
wrecked. Several towing steamers were
obliged to drop their tow lines to save themselves
and numbers of vessels which were
abandoned have not been heard from. It is
feared the loss of lfie and property will be
very great.
Washington, September io.—Representative
Mills, it is reported here, has been
engaged during the entire summer in the
preparation of a tariff bill which he purposes
introducing soon after the convening
of congress. It is stated that the measure
will provide for the reduction of the revenue
to such a sum as is necessary to cover the
government’s expenses. It is proposed that
this revenue shall be derived, in the main,
from that class of taxable articles known as
luxuries, and that taxation on the necessaries
of life shall be reduced to the lowest possible
sum.
Lima, O., September io.—Tuesday night,
an attempt was made to blow up with dynamite,
the hotel, saloon and residence of
Neal and Bidwell in the village of Westminister
not far from here. The saloon had recently
been opened and its presence was
hotly opposed by some of the inhabitants and
this opposition is credited with inspiring the
efforts. The whole front of the first story
was blown away and the interior wrecked.
Neal and his family occupying an upper room
were thrown from their beds and bruised.

McCormick, who has Just arrived here.
The prisoner Lucius A. White will be started
to Waco to night.” White, it will be remembered,
is generally regarded as the principal
in the Brazilian counterfeiting scheme.

Buri«d in a Well.
About 2:30 o’clock thisfafternoon, while a
man was cleaning out an old well back of the
Union hotel, the earth about ten feet above
him caved in, covering him about one
and onehalf feet. While under
the earth he was distinctly heard
calling for the negro who was drawing out the
dirt to go for help. In a few minutes, Ben
Hilliard, the colored boy, had a crowd and
they commenced digging him out,
at the present writing (3:30 p.) they
have uncovered the man’s head and
arms. No one seemed to know him,
but he called out that his name
was Robert Jenkins from Dallas. On being
asked if he was suffering any pain, he said
he was not, but there was a terrible pressure
on his legs and back. He says he has been
covered up before while well digging.
