The murderous assault, for the death of

Eddie 0vcrstreet Charged With
Shooting James BcnsIey.

The boy who is supposed with every
good reason, 10 have shot and killed jam $
Beasley, on the line of the Central Ran
way. a short distance beyond the city, on
Sunday afternoon. was arrested yesterday.
His name is Eddie Overstreet and he is
about "A years old.
The killing of Beasley, who was lit le
negro boy of about Overstreets age, or
possibly younger, was described in yester-
days Morning News. There seemed 10 be
no reason for the shooting, which was
done apparently in a spirit of malicious
and cruel mischief. though doubtless with
no intention of causing the death Of the
little negro. AT the time there were a
number of white and colored boys in the
neighborhood and il was from a crowd of
the former that the fatal shot had proceed
ed. The wound that caused death was in
Aicted with a bail from revolver.
The city detectives have been on the
search for the perpetrators of the crime
since It's commission, and yesterday ar
rested Overstreet, NJ. Cooley and Robert
Bennett They were reasonably certain
that one of these had fired the shot that
killed Beasley, and they thought that by
shrewd questioning they could get at the
truth, or something at least that approx
mated it very closely. In this surmise
they were not deceived, as subsequent
events proved.
The arrests were made by Detectives
stark and Shea. When the boys were
taken to the station house Bennett weak
ened and confessed that he had seen the
shot fired He said that the revolver with
which 1t had been dome was owned by
Cooley or his possession, and that Cooley
had given it to Oversreet, for the pur-
pose of having that youngster try the
falthfulness of his aim. Overstreet had
taken the weapon and fired at the APP
preaching form of Beas.ey and the death
Of the latter had followed. Overstreei
himself has told several conflict
ing stories, in which effort young Cooley
has not been far behind him. All The
boys are thoroughly frightened.
The arrests were reported TO Coroner
GOette who after an investigation, or
