Jim Curry, who killed Porter and
wounded Barrymore, actors, in Mar
shall, Texas, some three years ago, met
his fate few weeks since by getting
killed at Las Vegas, New Mexico.
He was on a spree, fourishing his pis-
tolls and swearing he would kill some
one on sight, when the man who was
to be killed put in appearance and a
bullet at the same time. Curry died
IN a few moments. The jury returned
a verdict that the man killed him in
self-defense. Curry was locomotive
engineer, and at one time employed
on the Kansas Pacific railroad. After
making himself famous on that road
by killing one or two men he skipped
out to Texas, where he would have 4
broader field Of operation. He was
employed on the Texas 4 Pacific rail-
road at the time he killed Porter.
Last summer he succeeded ia getting
out OF the Marshall Jail on the plea of
insanity, and the next time we hear Of
him it is that he has Did the way he
has caused so many of ME faiio,v :, =.
