;ardson, who had discharged his father.
Richardson was absent. but Geo. L. Barnes,
his clerk and time keeper was there.
'Caseat began cursing him as the cause of
his fathers discharge, drew pistol and
ordered Barnes to get on his knees and beg
prrdon. Barnes expostulated; then Caseat
exclaimed he would kill him anyhow. 'One,
T two,'' and while pronouncing the
word three thrust the pistol
into Barnes and fired. As his
victim suddenly stopped in the effort to
dodge, the bullet struck Barnes in the
forehead coming out of his right eye.
Caseat fed and hid in clump of willows
near the river edge, where he was arrested
and brought over to the city. Barnes,
who is a married man, is still living, but
mortally wounded. No doubt it was Ca
seats intention to kill both Richardson
and Barnes. A strange feature in the af-
fair came out in the testimony of Mrs.
Caseat before the coroner. She stated UNI
der oath that an agreement had been
made in her presence between her husband
and son, that the former should commit
suicide and the latter kill Richardson.
She believed the compact the result of
frenzy and idle, but it was strictly carried
out.
Barnes died at 8 tonight, and his re-
mains were shipped on the midnight train
to his former home in Bunker Hill, Ill.
At Ii this forenoon Jules Roeder, of ST.
Louis, late drummer in Arkansas for Shap-
leigh. Connell & Co., of this city, was
found dead in his bed at the City hotel.
No marks of violence, and the verdict of
the coroner's jury was that the cause of
death was unknown. 1t is understood
Roeder had been taking morphine regu-
2arly for some time. Friends believe
death was accidental from an overdose.
He has been in the city several weeks and
was unmarried.
