bIs limbs were graged from the knees
to his feet He accounted for all Of
those scars by working for Mr. Rich
ards tearing down a chicken coop and
repalring the barn, but his story was
very disconnected and several times
while being questioned contradicted
himself. The story of the two colored
men coming home early as told by
Clark was proven 90 be false as the
Two were seen by Officer Sullivan and
William Studer at 1880 In the morning
walking very lively up Twenty-ffth
street. Another very convincing proof
Of Clark being the man Is that Mrs,
Williams found a small package OF
blush white powder laying scattered
on the ground near the window yester-
day morning and when Clark's trous
ers we're searched some Of the same
kind u powder was found In one OF
the pockets, and the pants were COW
cred with grass seeds the same kind as
are found around the Williams home.
Every evidence so far obtained goes TO
show that Clark is the guilty party.
This is not the first time that he has
been suspected Of such things, a.
about two years ago he was suspected
Of having Jumped through a window to
escape being shot by white man, be
cause Of his associations with the white
mans wife The officers feel confident
that they have the right man as every
thing points to his guilt, and believe !
that he may yet confess.
