Der: Wilfrcd Clark, of North Stoning-

of poker with John NJ. Nerhoif, of
Louisville, Ky, and lost, but raised a
question which it was agreed should be
referred to the Police Gazette for decis-
ion. A bet of 500 was made on tho
point. Later Clark showed letter pur-
porting to be from the Police Gazette
sustaining his views of the case. YER
hoff paid the 500 but still insisted that
he was right.
1t was then agreed to refer the mat
ter to the Clipper, and another 500 was
bet. Clark again produced decision
in his favor, apparently from the Clip
per- Nerhoff paid the second hundred,
but was suspicious, and wrote the Clip
per and Gazette people. He found that
they had never written to Clark. Ver-
hoff accused Clark of trickery, and
Clark returned the $500, and gave a
check for the amount he had lost to Ver-
hoif Shortly afterward, however, he
asked to see the check moment and
when it was handed him he put it in
his pocket and disappeared. His action
so disgusted the students that they de-
cided to make the facts public.

has been expected for several days, but
while there was still chance for his
life the physicians thought it advisable
not to permit him to make an ante
mortem statement of the circumstances
surrounding the shooting. He died,
therefore, without making any
statement, and the case against
Kincaid will rest entirely on
the testimony of himself and two
eye-witnesses of the tragedy. One of
these eye-witnesses was Samuel Donald
son, of Tennessee, door-keeper of tho
House of representatives, who has re-
fused to make any statement for publi-
cation. Donaldson was with Taulbee
at the time the shooting occurred. The
other witness was boy who is not to
be found. The stories of the shooting
differ in one important particular.
Kincad and Taulbee had had an en-
counter some time prior to the shooting
in the corridor adjoining the hall of the
House of Representatives on the east.
1t was said just after the shooting took
place that Kincaid had armed himself
after the first encounter with Taul-
bee, and seeing him going down the
stairs that lead to the basement had
run after him, called to him, and as he
turned shot him in the face. kincaid
claims that he armed himself in fear OF
danger from further encounter with
Taulbee: that Taulbee had warned him
to arm himself, and that Taulbce insult
ed and attacked him on their second en-
counter, rendering, in his opinion, re-
sort to the pistol a necessity. The theory
Of self-defense will be set up by Kin
caid's lawyer.
AS soon as the. news of Taulbee's
death reached police headquarters, an
officer was sent to Kincaid's room, he
was awakened, and after he had dressed,
was taken to the police station where he
now is.
William Preston Taulbee represented

Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses.
lie was eminent in debate for his fluency
and vocal power, gifts which were aided
in their effect by his superior stature.
Mr.. Taulbees home was at Saylorsville,
Ky. He was born in Morgan County,
that State, October %, 1851, and was
educated in private country schools.
The three years between 1875 and 1878
were spent by him in preparation for
the ministry and during the next three
years he read law. He was elected
clerk to Magotfln County Court in
1878 and reelected in 1882. His first
election to Congress was in 1854.
