Jim Smith Is Believed to Be
Wanted iu Mississippi.
John Davis, Of Mississippi, Says He
Saw Smith XIII Tom Hardin I'm
April.
HE SAYS HE ~ THE WRONG MAN

Jim Smith, colored, alias "Jabbo
was arrested this morning by Officers
Ferguson and Wood on the South
Side on suspicion of being wanted in
Lambert, Miss, for the murder of
Tommy Hardin, colored, last April.
The catch was made with the aid of
negro who had followed Smith to
Paducah.
This morning John Davis, who re-
sides In Mississippi, went to Officers
Ferguson and Wood and informed
them that he knew where they could
arrest a murderer wanted in Lam
bert. Miss. He recited the facts OF
the killing. stating that he was an
ing was done with a pistol and that
death was instantaneous. Smith es-
capped, but he followed him and at
Paducah found him.
Smith was working at gravel pit
and the officers had him pointed out
by Davis and Immediately arrested
him.
The prisoner seems to be a pretty
wise sort of negro. refusing to talk
about the affair, alleging that it is d
case of mistaken identity A report
er visited him in the city Jail this
morning and the prisoner stated he
lived in Fort Worth, Tex, but had
been in Chicago and came to Padu-
cab from that city. He declared he
had not been in Lambert that he
knew of. but admitted to having been
in Mississippi. lie stated further
that be had shot no one and knew
nothing about the allegation OF Da-
Wis.
Chief Collins telegraphed to Lam
bert this morning apprislng the au-
thorities of Smiths capture and will
await the answer authorizing what
disposition will be made of the pris-
oner.
Smith was arrested while he was
having his shoes shined. Davis hap
pened upon him while the former
was working in gravel pit. The
trouble which resulted in the shoot
ing started over ten cents in crap
game. The ball fired entered Har-
din's chest and went on through.
Once in Mississippi Smith was sur
rounded, but managed to escape in
a cane brake.
Davis had come to Paducah to Sc
cure work after the trouble, and stat
ed while he was not following Smith
for the purpose of causing his arrest
did not think it right to let him go
At liberty.

One More Speech to Be Made
Monday Before Judge Reed.
A Decision Is Expected Then--First
Block OF Brick Street
Finished.
A FEW OTHER CITY NOTES

Arguments were today heard in
the motion to dissolve the restraining
order preventing the board of alder
men from hearing the evidence in
the charges brought against City
Jailer T. J. Evitts, and Judge Reed
will probably render a decision Mon
day morning in circuit court.
The speeches were not finished to-
day. Attorneys Hal Corbett, John
X. Hendrick and Wheeler Campbell
spoke today, the first named in ia
vor of dissolving the order, and the
other two for keeping it in effect and
preventing the hearing of the evil
dence.
Attorney w. F. Bradshaw will
speak Monday morning at o'clock
and 1t will end the argument, and
possibly the case, as Judge Reed is
then expected to render his opinion.
If he decides that the aldermen
have right to hear the evidence a
called meeting of the aldermen will
probably be at once held in order to
finish the case.
