A Cutting sorape.

n cuttlnH scrape occurred In
Chinatown about 5 O'Clock Wednes-
day evening, in which E. G. Poindex.
ter bad his throat badly cut. The
cut extends from back Of his left a
to the chin and is about six inches
long. DR.. Mcdowell was summoned
and succeeded in stopping the flow
OF blood and sewed up tho wound.
How the cutting occurred is care
fully concealed from the officers.
Poindexter told deputy sheriff Hem
ley, who was at the house Immediate
ly after the cutting took place that
be had attempted suicide. Mr.. Hem
ley questioned him and the woman
closely and examined the woman's
clothing and other articles in the
room, The floor where the cutting
occurred was despatched with blood,
showing that it had spurted from the
cut in Poindexter's throat in torrents
and that it would have been impos-
sible for the woman to have done the
cutting without getting blood on her
clothes and person. Last night
about ten o'clock Poindexter sen for
Mr.. Henley and on his arrival at the
house wanted to know why the
woman had not been placed under
arrest. as she had attempted to muir
der him. To this Mr.. Henley re.
piled that P~oindexter had told him
that he had cut himself and that he
would not arrest the woman unless a
complaint vas lodged against her.
a reporter and the deputy sheriff
called at the house this forenoon and
found Polndexter lying on a bed sur
rounded by his friends. In reply to
a question by the reporter as to Who
cut him, he said that he did not
know as it was the result OF a
drunken fight. Again he said that
the cutting was done by a piece of
glass that he hal fallen on. Another
story, and probably the true one. is
that on going to the house last night
he found a Mexican s~heep-shearer in
the room with the woman and a fight
ensned in which the cutting oc-
