20 do with the first murder. IL - fair TO
suppose that his death was due 70 his

have contemplated relieving his con-
science by telling what he did know.
Throughout the whole story. however, it
is maintained that Louis Bohn's aiibi 10
too strong TO allow suspicion TO rest on
him as being Kings confederate.
The lettings are sfiil positive that both

his mother was offered because he learned
upon investigation that the detectives were
not watching she case. He thought the
additional reward might stimulate fresh
interest. Neither he nor his brother cared
10 give any theory Of the murder. Bohn
SAID:
al do not care to.tais about the murder TIE

me. and now this has come on saw
King about 7.3o O'Clock Friday night AZ the
Hunters Home saloon, not Tar from where be
was found dead When left him he was going
home don't wait 70 say AM thing about what
Think just yet
Bohn's alibi in the Fetting murder case
are ANXIOUS TO have him account fully for
his whereabouts from the time he left
King until ten minutes before 8 o'clock
the same evening. when the shots were
fired.
To-day 1t was proved positively that
the shots had been fired just before
O'Clock. Night Waterman Anderson
heard the shots, two in number, exactly
ten minutes before o'clock, just as he
was about 10 ring his time bell at that
hour. Others say they heard two shots
together and one later. No attention was
paid To them, as IL was thought il was
some boys shooting. Another man saw .
middle sized man running away from the
scene of the murder.
THE hair under Kings ear where the
bullet entered vas not burned, and the
hole on that side of the head was a clean
one. the skull not being shattered. While
ii is supposed the man who fired the shot
was not close upon King, still il is
assumed he was not very far dis
tant The bullet is on exhibi-
ton at Coroner Hoska's Office The
point has been fiattened. It is of the s.
caliber size. and from the fact that re-
voIver of the same caliber was found in
Kings pocket some jumped TO the CON-
ciusion that. with his big family and no
work he had committed suicide.
Every indication points 10 the con-
trary Mr. Gibson accounts for King hay-
ing the revolver. He wanted to go hunt
ing today and borrowed 1t of Mr.. Gibson.
He also wanted 10 borrow a gun. Besides,
Mr.. Gibson Is positive there were four car
tridges in the revolver. and that number
were found in IL. BONN also states that
King spoke TO him about some cartridges.
but Bohn told him he had no gun aud
couldn't tell.
There was no money in Kings pockets.

to talk about IL he stated that King was
