took charge of the prisoner. He had
hardly taken him in custody when a
man by tho name OF j. w. Cook rushed
up and threatened to kill Smith. He
was also arrested and taken to the

but no weapon was found on him.

When Officer Merriman took hold of
smith, the latter was terribly scared,
and begged the policeman to see that no
ono shot him.
Capt. w. w. Berkeley has been re-
tanned by tho prisoner as his attorney.
Smith claims that night before last L
had some trouble with his wife and she
went to Mrs. Aliif's. Yesterday he went
to see her, and while there he claims he
was attacked by q crowd, some twenty
live in number, who threw rocks at him
and beat him until in self-defensc, ne
drew his pistol and fired. lie says he
was so excited that he did not know
how many times he fired, but he claims
that he was fired at also by some one in
the crowd.
This statement is fatty contradict ted
by every one who saw the shooting.
PetersAliif is young man about 81
years of age and lives with his parents
and brothers and sisters in hut d.
rectly opposite Smiths house. His
business was driving a wagon.
Smith, it is said, had not worked for
more than Il month. A brother Of
AliH told TINES reporter that Smith
was drunk when he did the shooting.
Everyone who saw the shooting tells
about the same story, and all say that
the two men had not had any previous
difficulty. Smith told Dunn that AliH
and his (Smiths) wife had been
criminally intimate with each other,
and that is the reason he shot him, but
this is said to be untrue by all in the
neighbcrhood.
When Smith came to the city ho went
into the first hardware store he came to
and purchased revolver and some
cartridges. After he had bought the
pistol he remarked that he could now
fix the -----." When the clerk
heard this remark he took the revolver
away from him and gave his money
back
Smith then went to another store
and bought a revolver and when he got
into the street he made the same re-
mark This was said in the presence Of
several witnesses.
When the news reached the police
that Aliif was dead the officers on Rail
road avenue were ordered to proceed to
Commerce street, the object being to
get strong guard near the Jail in case
an attempt should be made to lynch the
murderer.
