Richards shooting Anray at Allen
Particulars OF the Affair.
Saturday night Deputy United States
Marshal Ingram, who on that same
evening shot Richards at Allen station,
landed in the city in charge of an Off
Ger, who turned him over to Sheriff
Moon After learning the facts con-
nected with the shooting, Sheriff Moon
allowed him to go about under charge
of an officer. A HERALD reporter met
with Mr., s. l.. Rodgers, who was a wit
ness to the affair, when he learned
from him the following:
Richards, who a short time since ran
saloon In Mineola, was arrested on q
charge of whoieeaiing liquor without
license. He and Harry Maupin, his
business partner, went on his bond,
which, at the last term of the
United States circuit court, be forfeited
During Major Purnell's term Of Office
and after the bond had been forfeited,
Deputy Marshal Ingram had n writ
for the arrest OF Richards on the same
old charge. On Major Purneii's being
succeeded by Colonel Russell as United
States marshal, Richards was dis
placed but was in few days replaced
by Colonel Russell. In the meantime
| judgment rsi 81 issued from the court at
| Tyler aga nst Rodgers and Maupiu for
the amount OF the bond. They asked
Ingram TO arrest Richards, when he
told them he could not do so without
| . proper writ. They then went before
U. 3. Commissioner Gum, at Sulphur
springs, who informed them that un-
der the circumstances he had not the
authority TO issue q writ, but he told
them TO get Ingram and 20 and
take Richards. They went to All
lens station accompanied by
Deputy Ingram, where they
found Richards. Rodgers told him
that he had befriended him by going
ION his bond, and that he now wanted
him to favor him by going to Ty Ter and
appearing before the United States
commissioned He said " Y ou have be-
friended me and l will 90, for dou't
want you to suffer through me-"
While they were awaiting the five
O'Clock train at Allen, Richards drank
TO such an sAcess that he soon became
iintoxicated,a and being Of . quarrelsome
disposition when drinking, got into .

place, cursing and abusing him. The
saloonist told Ingram that II he did
not take him away and keep him out
OF his saloon he would kill hin. After
much dIfiiculty Ingram got him
of, but Richards went back again
and was second time taken
out by Ingram Who told him
that IL he kept insisting on going Ia
There the saloon keeper would shoot
him. This remark seemed TO infuriste
him, and drawing q long knife he
made for Ingram. As he did 20 he
