L. ]. White, who was assaulted by Art
Ingram Monday night in the Missouri
Pacific yards, was still alive last night
at IL o'clock. At a late hour Tuesday
morning a telephone message said that
Mr.. White rad died. AT about O'Clock
a. m he had paroxysm, after which he
was perfectly still and all indications
pointed TO his death. About fifteen min
utes afterWard he began 10 kick with
his left leg and his respiration was the
same as when he was first found. The
right side Of his body is paralyzed from
the effects Of his wounds. He is more
seriously hurt than was at first supposed.
His nose is broken, his upper lip has a
cash about two inches long which very
nearly divides his lip. over the right
eye the skull is fractured about an inch.
The zigamatic arch or the bone forming
the lower portion of the eye, is broken
and the pupil of the eye is destroyed.
Immediately above the right ear and just
where the gas pipe penetrated there is
another fracture.
Mr.. White could not have recovered,
even had the gas pipe never entered his
brain. He was most numerically beat
up before the pipe was pushed or thrown
into his head. There were several plau-
sible theories advanced yesterday which
were founded on the evidence obtained.
While none of the officers would talk for
publication, it is known that they have
plenty Of evidence TO hang Ingram.
They are now after evidence concerning
Mrs. Ingram. What she had TO do with
the case lis not so clear. County Attorney
S. B. AmidOn got statements from all the
parties who had anything 10 do with the
case or knew anythink positive about IL.
He did hot care TO divulge the names of
the two young men who were with the
girl Nina when Mr.. White was found
lying in the center of the railroad track
He said Trey would be witnesses in the
case and il would be time enough then
for their names 10 be published. 1t was
learned that they were young men of
some prominence.
Both Ingram and his wife refused 10
say word yesterday when seen by a re-
porter. They both looked haggard and
careworn from excitement 1t was
caused, no doubt. by both the fact that
they were just getting over the effects of
a spree and also that they found them
selves behind iron bars accused of the
most serious crime on the calendar. Sher-
if Cone early yesterday morning got
both Mr.. and Mrs. Ingram TO give their
version of the affair He would not tell
what they said only that it was quite
different from what they had told the re-
porter the night before. He also said
that each told a very different tale,
neither one coinciding at any material
point. They are separated and kept in
ed to see each other. Migrants father
and some OF his friends were up to call
on him during the day.
The girl Nina who was the first 10
discover Mr.. White was found last night
after dillgent search at No 321 East
Douglas avenue. She refused 10 talk, say
ing that she had enough notoriety. When
told that she would be one of the princi-
pal witnesses, she said: Il was returning
from supper with couple of gentlemen
friends about o'clock Monday night
When l reached the Missouri Pacific
track. in front of Ingram's place. 1 saw
a man lying there. / did not know what

to cry
She called to Mrs. Ingram, who came |
around the house singing. She told Mrs.
Ingram that there was a man hurt Mrs. |

Shortly after that the patrol wagon came /
up and conveyed Mr.. White To the sta /
ton. Harry Sutton arrested Ingram and |
