The horrible crime of Smell was a great
surprise to the clerks of the pension bu-
reau, where he was employed in the spe-
cal examination division. To a reporter of
Inc Star today Mr.. John w. Watson, as
slstant chief OF the special examination di-
vision, said, in discussing the crime:
1t was horrible and 1 cannot imagine
how Smell came to do it. He was quite n
favorite among the clerks and a great
checker player. After the office closed at 3
O'Clock he stayed and played his favorite
game until quite late. We regarded him as
an overgrown boy. He was genial and
made good clerk. 1t is hard to realize it."
When Commissioner Evans arrived at the
bureau this morning he sent for the ap-
pointment clerk and ordered the dismissal
of Smell to take effect last Saturday
