II am Democrat and all Democrats
are in favor of the enforcement of law"
said David Smith TO a reporter for the
Eagle last night.
When the reporter called at Mr..
Smyth's comfortable residence on In
diana avenue at o'clock last night the
chairman of the new board of police
commissioners was out in the business
part of the city.
Mrs. Smyth asked him TO take a seat
as she was confident her husband would
soon return. Mrs. Smyth said they had
just returned from Springfield. No.,
and she was glad to get back TO Wich-
tia.
There was a something about Mis-
souri, towns, she said, that she did not
like. They seem to have their growth
and lack the life that is part of Wich-
ita.
When Mr.. Snyth came he sat down
on the porch with the reporter and the
refreshing south wind rolled in under
the trees and blew away the heat that
was so oppressive during the day
When the new police commissioner
said he was a Democrat he took off his
hat in order to better enjoy the refresh
ing breeze and of course he was in a
good humor.

left home in order that the board might

DID HE DO 1T:
One Baker Charges another with Settin;
Fire to His Shop.

G.. F. Manning was yesterday ar
raigned in Judge Hatton's court on the
charge of havoing set fire to the bakery
of Crease & Martinson in the first
block south of Oak street on the morn
ing Of August 9.
Manning had owned an interest in
the bakery and sold his part to Crease
& Martinson, one condition of the con-
tract being that he was TO do the bak-
ing for them at a certain price but
Manning claims that Grease and Mar
tinson failed 10 comply with that part
of the contract.
The men had a dispute and Manning
quit work. And on the morning of
August 9. when Mr. Grease came to
the bakery he found that coat which
was left hanging over the back of a
chair had been set fire. The coat and
chair was burned and hole was
would have gained Roadway If the
flames had not been extinguished.
Crease charged Manning with the
crime and had him arrested. 9. n.
Crease, VIM Cross, his baker, and
f. A. Smith all testified as to the fire
and that an upstairs window which
had been nailed down was forced open
and near it was lead pencil which be-
longed to Manning.
The witnesses claimed to recognize
the pencil from the fact that Cross
had taken it from Manning's pocket
the night before the fire and had a
dispute about it and Cross had re-
turned it to Manning.
1t at once became evident that the
lead pencil was to be of great import
ance and Manning told Judge Hatton
that he had that identical pencil at
home and the Judge asked him to go
to his home on North Oak street,
West Side. and get it, which he did.
When placed together the two pen
els were nearly exactly the same
length but one was a darker color
than the other.
Manning did not have council but
allowed County Attorney Davis to
manage the case to suit himself and
that official was very fair in the exam
fnation and brought the evidence out
fully on both sides.
Manning went on the witness stand
and told how the evening before the
fire he had gone out to 1900 East First
street and gave his route from there
TO his home on the West Side where
he arrived shortly after 10 p. m. He
even told whom he saw on the route
and had some of the parties whom he
named as witnesses.
Officer Sutton said he did not know
anything about the case but said he
might have passed Manning as he
stated
Manning told about passing Chas s.
Allen, the old gentleman who breaches
on the street on the Douglas avenue
bridge that night when he went home.
Mr.. Allen was called and said there
must be some mistake as he knew
nothing on earth about the case and
did not know Manning but when he
reflected he thought very likely that
he WAS on the bridge at the time

titled positively that her son was at
home the night OF the fire from 1920
O'Clock until half past six the next
morning after which the case was con-
tinueG until this morning.

boys stole them. For this Ike was ar
rested, tried, convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary.
After leaving the penitentiary he felt
that he was a black sheep. He went to
Oklahoma and became an outlaw in
earnest.
Many people who knew him believe
that he was the hardest citizen in the
Zip" Wyatt gang. If he had lived to
succeed Wyatt for he was the ranking
lieutenant of the outlaw band, IL is
very probable that he would recruit the
gang and give Oklahoma a taste of out
