TENA DAVIS LETTER
May Have Been Posted
by Smith.
SPENT A NIGHT IN BOSTON
A Story Which Contradicts Statements
Made by His Wife.

BOSTON. Jan =. Says The Herald: ~
IL very probable that William II. Smith,
the alleged aCcomplicc OF Trefethen in the
death of Tena Davis, did not sleep at
home on the night OF the dead girls dis
appearance from her mothers house
Smith, up to the time Of his arrest, was
engineer in the New York and Boston Dis
patch company's establishment. at los
Arch street, having charge of the engine
and boilers OF tho concern. AS near as can
be asccrtained on the night of Tena's dis
appearance Smith rang the night bell con.
nectcd with the company's Office at about
ll:l5 o'clock. and was admitted into the
building by the employe in charge Of the
place.
When asked by the latter what was the
cause Of his putting in an appearance st
such an unusual hour. Smith answered
that lac had missed his train and was going
10 sleep in the engine house over night
The cmploye who admitted him had been
IN charge OF the place nights six months
previous 10 that time, but Smith had
Never Passed n Night
on the premises before during that period
of time. 1t was his custom to bank his
fires before going home in the evening, and
40 leaving them until the following day.
On the night in question, which the
clerk Is quite sure was couple OF nights
before Christmas, though he Is not posi-
tive that IL was the night of the 23d
Smith went with the clerk when the latter
rang In his watch notice at IL o'clock
and after that the two sat talking In the
engine room until 2:3o o'clock. when
Smith went TO sleep and slept until2 o'clock
when he was awakened by the clerk. The
twoc onversed togC ther again for awhile, and
Smith was last seen that morning by the
clerk little while after o'clock. The
clerk went off duty at 7,as was his custom.
The night clerk says that he noticed
nothing at all unusual about Smith either
when he entered the building or during
the several hours' conversatin in they had
together. The night, the clerk remembers
was cloudy, warm and somewhat rainy
This description answers perfectly well
for the night Of Dec. %.
When Tcna Davis Disappeared.
II was not Christmas eve, for the clerk
remembers working the next day. His i'm
preston, enforced by all the facts he has
ben able TO recall about the evening, Is
that Smith spent Wednesday night, Dec.
23, Mt the Office with him.
Smiths presence in Boston, and his re
manning over night in the place where he
was employed when his wife said he was
home with the children, may be an impor.
tant link in regard to the
Posting Of the Mysterious Letter
u Tcna's mother If it can be absolutely
determined the night ho remained in the
express company's engine room was the
night Of the 23d. He might have mailed
the letter betsccn o and Z in the morning.
The night cl.gk is very friendly toward
the suspected man, and discredits the idea
Of his having had anything TO do with the
death Of the girl.

Another Scene of the Tragedy Enacted a,
Swan Point Yesterday.

Another Scene of the Trnccdy Enacted ai
Swan Point Yesterday.
When the funeral OF Mrs. Barnaby &C.
Cured in Providence, it was thought
best not 10 commit the body to the family
tomb at Swan Point until the conclusion
of the trial, and it was therefore placed In
tho receiving vault at that cemetery.
Yesterday, after more than nine months,
with the trial II thing OF the past, the
body was transferred from the receiving
vault to the tomb in the presence of two
members OF the family and the faithful
maid Of Mrs. Barnaby, Mrs. Margie Smith,
Miss Maud Barnaby came from Mon
tana to sec the commital, and also to look
upon her mothers face for the last time.
Miss Barnaby was in the Orient at the
time OF the funeral, and so had not seen
her mother since her death. When she
arrived at the cemetery yesterday af err
noon preparations for the transfer of the
body were complete and, as there was no
ceremony, the commital was at once per-
formed. Miss Barnaby with Mr.. Con-
rad and Mrs. Smith, after the young lady
had looked into the coffin, followed the
body to the family tomb. At $3.50 O'Clock
the body was placed beside that of Mr..
Barnaby.

A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
- Travellers Toush Experience witn
Masked Highwnymen.


SHAMoKt., Pa. Jan. GAS John KEEP
Ter was returning from party at Locust
Gap early yesterday morning, while he
was passing one Of the widest parts of tho
region on his way home, holding his hands
TO his ears to warm them, two masked
men suddenly ran at him from behind a
pile of fence rails. and seized him around
the neck. He fell TO the ground, after kick
ing one of his assailants violently in the
ptomach. but succeeded in procuring ono
nj the fence rails. and then began des-
pcrate struggle.
Kepler battered the head Of one of the
men out OF semblancc. knocking his jaw
of and as he was finally forced to the
ground and oycrpowered, oy he in some man
mcr procured a knife from the pocket OF
one Of the highwaymen and plunged II
deeply into the nearest man : side. tearing
rib after rib. He was then struck on the
head with slung shot, and after blow AZ
ter blow had been raincd upon him' he
lost consciousness. When he revived, two
hours sftcrward. he hailed q passing
farmer, and was carried into the farm
house, where he now lies in critical con.
dition.
About Sl95 and valuable gold watch
were taken from his pockets by the would
be murderers, who had not evidently sup
posed that their victim was alive when
they left him. A posse Is now following a
trail Of blood which leads for miles into
the country. but they have not been heard
from. and the result Of their search for
the robbers is not yet known.
