Continued from First Pare.

down by the negroes, was interviewed at
her home last night. She said: II was
out in front of my house watching the pa
rsde, when some negro pushed me over into
the street. The crowd closed in on me and
one of the negroes tramped on my arm, al
most breaking it. While l was
lying there ] saw a colored man
hit a boy in the face and knock
him down. There was great deal of con-
fusion, and l saw big negro with full
whiskers reach for razor or a revolver, but
before he could draw it the shots were fired.
1 saw the boy fall, and then they carried me
back to my home. L did not see the man
who fired the shot"
A man named Wilson, vino was also at
the scene of the murder, says he saw the
colored man fire the shot. but did not think
the boy had done anything to offend the
cclored man. He said the boy was simply
an innocent spectator.
CAUGHT AT HIS SWEETHEART
Lucien Veins, the man who it is now
assured did the shooting, was captured by
Officer Mike Hanley, at the home OF his
sweetheart, No. y Logan street, at lilo
o'clock this morning. Veins was sitting on
a chair, with tears coursing down
his face, and evidently had been
telling MS sweetheart about the trouble.
The officer entered without ceremony, and
Veins started to his feet and looked wildly
about him for a moment as il in search of
an escape. The officer closed in upon him,
and he docilely submitted to the darbies,
and offered no resistance from that time
until he entered the cell with the brand of
murderer affixed to his name on the police
blotter.
There were also arrested seven accessories,
as follows: Frank Seymour, of Rose alley,
aged 20 years; Edward Merriworth, of 249
Second avenue, aged "a years; William
johnson, of 20 Clark alley, aged 10 years;
George Kelsey, of Roberts street, aged 20
years; William Harris, of 9 Crawford street,
aged % years; Charles GAM, of 43 Clark
street, aged 19 years, and Edward Powell,
of Knoxville, aged % years.
A WOMAN ARRESTED.
The sweetheart of Veins was also ar
rested on account of what she knows, but
won't tell. The gang was all comfortably
full, and made Central station resound with
nondescrip. shouting and loud scraps of
colloquy, to all of which the greedy -eared
turnkey gave lis undivided attention.
Kelsey gave the murderer away, hoping
to thereby save his own saddle-colored skin.
He was bundled off in a patrol wagon,
while the front Office force headed for Logan
street. The work in locating the men was
greatly facilitated by the way they split"
on each other. johnson squealed on Kelsey,
and the rest of the crowd was scooped in by
the activity of the detectives.
The murder occurred at 10 o'clock, and
within three hours and 20 minutes the whole
crowd was in the lookup. Quick work that.
Inspector McAleese and Sol Coulson started
at 2 o'clock to locate the guns that had be-
longed to the gang. They said they had
positive information as to the revolver with
which the fatal shot was fired.
Veins did not admit to the shooting, but
his companions all put the charge on him,
and his close companion and partner,
Johnston, declares positively it was he.
