MANUEL McCLAUDY DIES
Ike Loeb, Who shot Him, Arrested for
Iurder-The Jury of Inquest, Etc.

Tuesday morning, on Elm street. by Ike |
Loeb, died yesterday, at $50 O'Clock, at a
house on Dallas branch, near the intersec-
tloh OF Pearl street. He was perfectly |
rational up to the time of his death, and
suffered the most excruciating pains, and
to that extent that he could not converse
for any length of time. Shortly after
his death, James Griffin, colored,
swere out warrant for the
arrest OF Loeb, who had been released on
$1,000 bond charging him with murder,
and he vas rearrested and held in custody
by Deputy Sheriff Mckenzie, and will, I'M
I'll he has trial, be confined in the county
jail. There is great deal OF comment and
diversity of opinion concerning the affair,
and among the Colored element there is a
marked feeling against the prisoner, which
Is to an extept quite natural. When
arrested, Loeb retained the firms of
Crawford Smith Wtinnt Crawford sNm% and
Justice Edwards, acting coroner, empan-
eleda jury to hold an inquest over the re-
mains, and the jury went out and viewed !
them, when it returned and heard the tes-
timony of witnesses. While the witnesses
were being examined one of Loebs attor.
neys learned that his client was present at |
the examination, and he hustled him out
with all possible haste, telling him truth |
fully that the court could not make him
testify and that, inasmnch as he did not |
have to, he need not do so. Loeb appeared |
to have no hesitation in telling what he
knew about the atlair, however. The fol- !
/ lowing are the proceedings of
THE INQUEST.
