Accidentally Killed
By Room Mate
Continued from first page.)

earded the shooting as purely accidental,
The touching part of the inquest was
the story Of the young man who COM
mitted the deed. All the morning be-
fore the inquest Hughes paced the floor
and appeared very nervous. Be was dis
tracted and had but little self-control.
There was every indication that he would
have preferred to be the one there lying
dead. But when he was brought
the jury there was determi9s 70
face the ordeal as one who v. tell
only the truth, regardless of conse-
ouenccs. and the jury was convinced from
his manner and the evidence that that
was what he did. He was pale and some
what excited. but appeared as one who
was suppressing his feelings. His story
was straightforward and in substance
the same as has been told here. He de-
cribed the occurrence in a manner indi-
eating that if he had done wrong he was
ready to bear the consequences, and yet
II was not in defiance of the law, but
in obedience to it. His evidence revealed
the fact that he was a deputy marshal
here last summer during the strike agi-
tation. He came here three weeks ago
from Aforgantown. where he had been
attending the University as medical
student. His health was not good and
bis people thought it would do him good
to resort to manual labor while. When
he first came here he went TO work on
the Waldo hotel building, but he found
the labor too hard for him. Being ae-
quainted with W. Burns McGregor, OF
the Palace Furniture company, he ap.
piled to him for position and secured it,
The jury concluded from the evidence
that the shooting was accidental and
without intent or malice and returned a
verdict accordingly. Hughes was then
released. the verdict exonerating him
from guilt.
Hughes is nephew of United States
Deputy Marshall Charles D. Elliot, Of
Parkcrsburg. His mother is matron al
the Spencer asylum. He IS 10 years OF
age.
Young Boxwell was a son of c. B. Box,
well, an employee of the metropolitan
Life Insurance company. He was i
years of age. His family have been hero
about a year. Young BoxwelI was a
clerk at the Bee Hive store. he had fill.
ed similar position at Gardiner s Nc.
Nair's grocery on West Pike street
Later he worked short while in print
shop. He and Hughes had formed >
very close friendship and every time th'
latter came to Clarksbmg after meetins
him last June he hunted Bowel up and
was with him a great deal. When he
came here from Morgantown he Learned
that Boxwell's parents ran a boarding
house and he went there and secured
boarding.
The remains, after the inquest, wer'
taken to the home of the young man.
parents and shipped Sunday night to
Berryvillc. Va, his former home, fol

Insurance amounting TO $500 was car

he died at l2 o'clock sharp.
The shooting occurred about ll:40.
DR.. Kessler arrived ten minutes after

four or five times a minute when DR..

A telephone message was sen to Mayor
Grille who summoned Coroner Camp
and they went to the scene together. 1t
was decided to take Hughes into Gus
today, although his victims relatives
stated their belief that it was purely nc.
cidental and they requested thar Hughes
be allowed to remain in his room. Mayor
Grille and Coroner Camp, however,
brought him to police station, where
Mayor Grille decided not to put him in
the lookup with the several DRINKS,
who occupied the cells. He sat up with
him until about 3 o'clock, when Charles
Blake, an uncle of the Boxwell lad, came
to them and again requested that Hughes
be permitted to go to his room. Blake
was sworn in as special policeman and
he took Hughes to the Boxwell home,

summer stock company began the second
week Of its engagement at the Boyd yes
terday to crowds tina filled every available
bit of room In the theater. Those whq
could see and hear were given a decided
treat. The play itself is new to Omaha,
and is one Of the kind that everybody
enjoys. 1t tells an interesting love story
in an interesting way, mixing enough Of
comedy and the dramatic features to add
zest to its sentimental aspect. 1t served
yesterday to introduce to Omaha Mr.. G.
Scott Siddons, the new lea ling man OF
the company. Mr.. Siddons made a most
favorable impression by his work In the
role of Gerald Gordon, the manly hero.
He Is a well built, handsome man, Of
good manners and with a nleasing voice,
and has evidently been well schooled In
his profession. Others of the mpan are
happily cast. and do their work with the
additional finish that comes from a mora
intimate acquaintance with each others
methods. In every way the company is
working smoothly now. and its popularity
is we'll established. Mr.. Harry Long. tho
stage manager. has shown himself a mas
ter of his craft, and the setting he has
given the present piece is both ample and
adequate. The stage during the hrst
act Is as pretty a picture as one wants
to see. THE Belle of Richmond Will

FAvoRs PREACHING c%RUCIFIxIoN.
Rev. Gorst says 1t is Divine Method

Rev. Gorst Says IL is Divine Method
of saving Men.
At the Seward Street Methodist church
Sunday morning Rev. William Gorst, the
pastor, preached upon The Necessity for
Preaching the Crucifxion of Christ" taxi
ing as his text / Cor. 1-22:24. He briefly
reviewed the history of the three mission
airy trips Of st. Paul and referred to thu
condition OF the church at Corinth at the
time the epistle was written. He said in
part:
The members Of the church at Corinth
had fallen into vice and partisanship; some
claimed to be Christians according to the
rule of Paul, some according to the rule of
Cephas, some according to one apostle, and
some according to another, but few claimed
to be Christians according to Christ. We
have some Of these people on earth today,
and you will remember what q bombshell
was burst not far from here when a young
preacher charged a certain people with
being followers Of a man rather than of
Christ.
There is great difficulty in overcoming
prejudice and the Christian religion has to
encounter this prejudice. The Jews asked
for a sign; they had been led by Moses,
and he had seen the bush; Elijah and ELL
sha had given signs; they desired miracles
although they denied them when they were
given, but they asked for a perpetual mira
Gle. and were not satisfied. The Greeks
sought after wisdom. They desired to grasp
some earthly truth and by that reason
themselves to HEAVIER. We have descend
ants of both at the present day and both
give some trouble. But the preaching of
the c%rucihxion is the divine method of
bringing men TO Christ. 1t is a stumbling
block to the Jews and f~oolishness to the
Greeks, but It is the method that will con-
quer. 1t is the way in which God has or
dained-the message and the messenger. II
is the duty of men to preach and the duty
of mel to hear. You may read papers and
books, nay, even the Bible and you will
not satisfy the conditions of salvation, for
the message and the messenger is the di.

Gives Christian Association building
Project a Help.
Rev. De witt Long at the Knox Presby-
terrain church spoke Sunday morning of
the working woman, taking as his subject
the text Help these women" He spoke
in connection with the work that the Young
Women's Christian association is doing in
the securing of a new home and begged
that aid be given the association in every
manner possible by whomsoever could. IIo
said in part:
Woman is Americas natural aristocracy
We nave no other. Man always looks up
to her and guards and watches after her
welfare without regard to whether she
does her w work in the world or not.
More and more is woman being thrown
into the commercialism of this world. In
Omaha there are more than 5000 women
earning their own living. This is more
than one-third of all the women in the
city. But do not let any more of them
touch commercialism than necessary. ]
do not think 1t blunts the hneness of their
lives but It does not seem entirely right
that all women should work in life.
"As women are our aristocracy we want
them to be self-reliant and frank. Are
they so now? I would not care to answer
It. I ask 1t as a question. II our arts
tocracy must be, and 1 am glad that II is
woman must do all In her power to merit.
1.-The Young Women's Christian associa.
ton is doing this work in a large way
Every day its members come in contact
with and do something for 900 women. This
is a great work. What we want to do Is
to aid them I'm their work and we can dc
so now by helping them toward the con.
OF their building scheme"
