Had Threatened tH&p Life of Jack
Dooley

George Richardson will be arresthd
again to-day on tho charge of killing
Jack Dooley. George was discharged
Friday evening, after having been
given preliminary hearing before Jus-l
tice Howerton., No evidence appeared |
against him whatever, and the boys
statement that the killing was done acct
dentally was accepted.
The decision OF Justice Howerton
gave unbounded satisfaction so far az
could be learned except with tho family
of the deceased.
1t leaked out Yesterday that other
evidence had been secured against
George. A TIMES reporter, anxious to
learn OF any additional testimony, went
to see Mr.. Dooley, who, it was said, had
secured certain information on which to
swear out warrant.
MT Dooley was found at home with
his family and readily gave all informa-
tion on tho subject. He was careworn
and detected, but seemed greatly dis
satisfied at the action of the proceeding
by which George was released
1T was o one-sided affair."" hs said.
Il was sick and unable to raise my head
when the trial came Off, and could not
get out to secure such evidences as Should
have come up"
Mrs. Dooley said she would not BIO
satisfied until full and FREQ inyestipa-
ton was obtained. Sho asked for JUS
tice. 1t was due her under the circum-
stances, and George must stand tho
test. George never loved my boy like
he pretended"
Mr.. Doolcy said tho evidence which
had been secured never reached his ears
until yesterday. Kim Graybill, Il negro
boy, says he heard George say that Jack
was getting above him, but never mind,
he would bring him down. He had some
thing here (patting his hip pocket) that
would settle him. This happened, the
Graybill boy says, about week before
the killing.
Mr.. Dooley further alleges that Mrs.
Stiggers, who lives just opposite tho
house where George lives, heard him
make certain threats. One day, not
long before the shooting, Jack was
standing in Mrs. Stiggers' front yard,
George passed along the edge of Wood
land Park in the rear OF the building
and called to Jack. George asked him
to accompany him somewhere and Jack
wouldn't go. George then asked him If
he wanted ball put through him and
oNS1A S"Au' Ous yOu W. HOUQlUH Co
shoot with" George then patted his
hip pocket, intimating that he had
pistol.
Mr.. Dooley told THE TIMES reporter
that he was determined in his action
and would have him arrested to-day.
III he stands the test, and comes out
all right then have no more to say. /
will forgive him and try to forget tho
sad occurrence"
George was seen yesterday with his
uncle, Mr.. Willis. Both were unaware
of the serious intention OF Mr.. Dooley.
They said that Mrs. Stiggers had in
formed them that Mrs. Dooley had said
the matter was not done with. They
couldn't believe it, however, that any
suspicion still rested on George.
Friends OF both parties hope the mat
ter is at an end, and say the evidence
Mr.. Dooley has is flimsY and when
brought to test will fall fat
