No effort to locate the bullet was made
yesterday. The bullet, a 32-calibre, en-
tered just below the ribs, about the center
of the body.
When Deputy Sheriffs Baker and Knox
went to Weston Thursday evening they
had no warrant for young Matheson, and
he was not at that time even suspected of
being implicated in the burglary of the
store Of Williams & Barnes, about two
weeks ago when jewelry to the value of
nearly $500 was stolen. Young Matheson
had, however, made several statements
indicating that he knew where the stolen
jewelry had been planted. 1t was for the
purpose of having Matheson locate the
plunder that the officers called at his house.
Matheson admitted knowing who COM

depot and stock yards. and it was on the
way there that Deputy Knox noticed that
Matheson was carrying n revolver in his
hip pocket and called Deputy Bakers at

Matheson at first denied having a gun,
and when Deputy Baker made a motion as
II to touch the pocket in which the gun
was young Matheson who was standing
less than three feet away from Baker,
drew the revolver and opened fire, the first
shot striking Baker.
Deputy Knox drew his revolver, but be-

himself from the grasp of the father young
Matheson had started to run and was too
far away to be reached with revolver
shot.
The fact that Matheson was armed with
a revolver and his conflicting stories leads
the authorities to believe that he was inn
pllcated in the Williams & Barnes robbery.
