HER HUSBAND HERE, J.H. MYERS INTERVIEWED CON. CERNI.G THE KILLING OF
 HIS WIFE.
He Believes That Fred Cloud Was a Stranger to Her Before the
 Night of the Murder.

J. H. Myers, the husband of Irene Meyer, the woman who was choked to death in q Pine Bluff bagnio, Friday night a week ago, arrived here from Greenfield, Ark, last evening. This morning GRAPHIC reporter interviewed him when he said in substance:
 ''I married Lottie Cough Qrene Meyei) at, Ollie, La, on June A, 1894, at which time she was 13 years of age. I lived with her very hap oily for two and one-half years, until Pine Blaff man came and boarded at my house for about three weeks. When he left he per suaded my wife to leave with him. My wife's grandmother and her brother now live at Ollie, La. My mother lives at Fort Worth, Texas, at 2l1 Main street. Last Summer my wife visited my mother on two different occasions and remained in Fort Worth about one week on each visit. She has no child and to my knowledge never had one. I do not believe that she ever met Fred Cloud, the man who is said to have killed her, before the night on which the crime was committed. The visits she made to Fort Worth were the only times she ever left my house until her departure for this psace, when she ran away with a Pine Bluff man. She has sister living at Pollock, La. We lived very happily together, and never an unpleasant word marred cur do- nestle life, and her leaving me was most unexpected. :"
 Is it not possible that Fred Cloud became acq tainted with your wife in Fort Worth during her visits?' asked the reporter.
 She may have done so, but l don't believeit, ;" replied Mr. Meyers. T believe that the man was total stranger to her.

The Killing Said to Have Been a Cold Flooded Murder Blair Prominent
 Liveryman.

Special csrres spondence to the Graphic
 LITTLE ROCK. May 17-Little Rock is in furor of excitement this morn ing, and there is a probability of a lynching tonight, unless the officials take steps to prevent it.
 About o'clock last night Deputy Sheriff Jesse Herd shot and instant ly killed 5. j. Blair, proprietor of the American Livery Stable, at his stable son Louisiana street. The killing is said to have been a cold blooded murder.
 About o'clock Herd and Blair were seen sit ing in front of the lat ter's stable talking i'll a pleasant manner, when suddenly Herd jump ed up, drew a pistol and shot Blair four times through the stomach, kill ling him instantly. The murderer threw his weapon down and quietly walked to the Capitol Hotel, sat down, pulled cigar from his pocket and was calmly smoking it when
 
 he was arrested. Herd is noted as a killer, having killed two men in Little Rock and, 1t is said, two in Missis- sippi before he came here. He has been deputy sheriff for number of years.
 No reason for the killing is known at this hour. It is surmised that it was the result of an account which Herd owed Blair for feeding his horse.
 Blair was man of family and vas held in high esteem by all W ho knew him.
 Excitement, after the crime was discovered. was very high, and threats of lynching were freely in dulged in.

A FOUL BLOW, THE PICTURES OF THE RIG FIGHT SHOW FITZsIMMONS
 STRUCK ONE. DURING THE LAST ROUND The Blow IS Delivered While Corbett Is On His Knees-lt Is Claimed That This Blow Did Not Effect the Result of the
 Fight. What Lynch
 Says.
DURING THE LAST ROUND

NEW YORK, May 1.-The verascope pictures of the tt-Fitzsimmons fight were exhibited in public for the first time last week. The reports of a foul blow struck by Fiji zsiRllnuns is now confirmed. The completed pictures set the questio at rest. But as to the effect of the blow " OH the result of the fight there is only one thing to be said-Corbett would have been knocked out any way. It was the solar-plexus punch that did the business, not the rap on the jaw.
 The pictures are in long strips of ''films,' two inches i'll depth. During the fight they were run off at the rate of about 20 second. There can be no doubt, therefore, as to the character of the foul.
 The pictures show that as Corbett sinks to the floor with Fitzsimmons looming above him, the long left arm of the Australian swings back, then comes forward in swift upper cut for the left point of torbett's jaw. As the blow starts, it seems that Fitx. iinmons realizes what he is doing. He appears to try with all his might to hold the blow back, but it lands, nevertheless.
 COrbett's right glove is on the floor when he catches it. Fitzsim- mons back is turned to the specta- tors, but the pictures show the sweep of the glove plainly. The ref cree stands beyond both men, at Il distance of about six feet. There is an agreement between the fighters that when one of them is knocked down the other shall retire TO dis tance of 10 feet. Corbett is down. FitzsimmOns does not retire until he has given the Californian a wallop on the jaw while the latter's glove is touching the floor.
 It does lot seem to do much harm. It knocks the Californian's head to one side about feet Then Fitz sim mons apparently realizes what he has done. He steps away to the re. quired distance and the fight comes to an end.
 The foul is palpable. 1t is equally palpable that Fitzsimmons did not intend it. Nevertheless, those who
 bet on Corbett found great deal tu
 kick about when the pictures were shown Saturday night.
 Dan Lynch, the manager of Tom i Sharkey, said today:
 Why. it's q foul as plain as day Now 1 que. that people will believe
 me when l say that Fitzsimmons 1 fouled Sharkey. The blow on Cor. l bett's jaw is as plain as the nose nr
 your face. He was hit after he had
 fallen to the floor from the stomact I puDch.'
