Dy WINNIE smith,
INDIANAPOLIS, July a. The tragedy by
which w. b. Thomas lost his life is the
talk OF all circles here. Thomas created
something of a stir at his wedding at
Muncie. The wedding occurred at the
leading Methodist church, ,andthe sensation
was caused by the refusal of the groom
TO allow the American flag, which was an
establishment of the rostrum, to remain
there during the wedding Thomas was
known to be fast and reckless in private
lie, but he was considered good bust
ness man. The tragedy occurred at
Brighton Beach, a roadh house outside the
city limits along the canal bank. Thomas
arrived from Anderson in company with

who had never seen each other before. In
moment they had come to blows at the
end of the bar and Smith was using a
knife. Thomas was trying to ward off the
blows from the knife and was cut in the
arm and side. The second stab severed
the carotid artery and the jugular vein.
After the Bloody Deed Was Done.
Smith then ran to the buggy in which
the girl was sitting holding n nervous
horse and seized the buggy whip. In a
fury he ran back and struck the now life

muttering with an epithet: Take thatV'
He next jumped into the buggy and drove
rapidly away. Myrtle Wallace, when ques-
toned by Coroner Beck, said that they
drove to the river, where Smith washed
his face and hands, which were covered
with blood. She said to him that perhaps
he had killed the man, and they returned
to see what the injuries We're. The body
lay untouched and the horse had to be
whipped soundly before he would ap-
proach the place.
