THE LINCOLN DAILY CALL MONDAY EVENING JANUARY 12, 1891.

WILL PROVE A MURDER.

John Sheedy Again Waylaid and Murderously Attacked.

Struck with a Heavy Cane as He Comes from His Home--Will Prove Fatal.

Doctors Lose Hope. The topic of conversation to-day has been the murderous attack upon JohnSheedy, one of the best known of Lincoln citizens and for years a conspicuous figure on the streets and around the hotel lobbies.

This was the third attempt to murder Mr. Sheedy, the first being some six years ago, the second only a few weeks ago and the third and probably successful attempt was last night.

The would be assassin had evidently been lying in wait for his victim around his house at the southeast corner of Twelfth and P streets, and when at about 7:30, Mr. Sheedy told his wife he would go up to the Capital hotel for a short time, and had just emerged from his front door, the villain struck him a terrible blow over the head with a heavy leather cane, such as is made at the penitentiary. Two blows were struck, but the first was warded off by Sheedy with his left hand, the cane striking the wrist and causing it to become swollen to twice his normal size. The second blow fell upon his head, inflicting a wound over the left eye, ranging back a considerable ways on the skull and crushing it.

Though stunned by the blow he quickly recovered his composure and seeing the man dart away pulled his revolver and opened fire, discharging four chambers of the weapon, after which he stepped back into the house and remarked to his wife that he thought he was shot.

The shooting attracted the attention of many who were upon the streets at that hour, among them Drs. Everett and Hart, and a crowd soon gathered about the place. The physicians lost no time in administering to the wounded man, putting six stitches in the scalp, and at that time his injuries were not considered of a character that ordinarily result fatally.

Several officers were also attracted to the scene and officers Kinney, Bob Malone and Adams made a search of the promises. On the porch they found the cane which had been used to a death dealing purpose. Spots of blood were also discovered on the porch leading southward in the direction the man had taken after being shot at by Mr. Sheedy. These blood stains were traced through the yard into the alley in the rear of the Burr block and showed conclusively that one or more of the bullets had hit the man. But beyond this point no trace of the assailant could be obtained at the time, owing to the darkness.

The wounded man rested comparatively easy until the midnight hour when [?] gradually grew worse and death became imminent. His condition did not tend to improve at the dawning of day and his physicians feared the worst. He began to lose consciousness and sank rapidly, and at 11 o'clock the attendants had no hopes of his recovery. At 2:30 he was dying, practically, four physicians giving up hopes.

Officers went over the grounds again this morning to see what evidence or trade they could obtain as the identity or probably cause of the murderer, has their search was unsatisfactory and practically fruitless.

Who the murder is, and the motive that prompted the deed, is a question now universally debated. At the former attack, Mr. Sheedy attributed it to an attempt at robbery--and indeed this has been the motive assigned for last evening's blow--but many are loth to believe that a burglar or highwayman would adopt the methods shown to have been used in both these attacks. John Sheedy was a powerfully built man, and was always prepared for any emergency. Few highwayman would select a man's own doorway as the place for a "holding cp," for many and very good reasons.

But on the other hand, the murderer, assassin, coward, would find such a place the very spot for his deed. He could make no mistake, would be free, practically, from any intrusion and be in better position to escape.

These facts, coupled with a threat said to have been made some six years ago, when one T. W. Patterson, a gambler, had been sentenced to the penitentiary for assaulting with intent to kill John Sheedy, lead many to believe that the object was far from robbery--but plain, unadulterated, vicious and sure revenge in the murder of John Sheedy.

A few weeks ago some unknown person, presumably the same man who last night delivered the fatal blow, was lying in wait for him at his home and as he opened the gate to step inside fired at him, but without effect and escaped. This time the weapon used was a more silent but surely as deadly a one as the revolver, and had it have struck the spot evidently intended--the temple--would have produced instant death and no loud report as of a revolver would have summoned an excited and furious crowd to put pursuors on his trail.

A New German Class.

Prof. L. S. Dodge who has just closed a large class in German, in Omaha, has arranged to give a course of instruction in Lincoln.

Pref. Dodge has a new and novel system which is entirely conversational in form, and by which he promises to impart "s practical knowledge of German in five weeks". The endorsements Prof. Dodge submits in support of this claim are numerous and of the highest order. Further announcement of free exhibition lectures will be made soon.
