ALEXANDRIA, VA. OCT S5-

Asked this morning to give reasons
why the Alexandria police department
had not been able to track the mur-
derer OF Charles T. Smith, and what
steps had been taken TO apprehend him,
Chief Goods said that in his opinion
the reason that Johnson had not yet
been caught was that he had left the
city. Il believe" continued the Chief.
that when Johnson shot Smith he went
to his house IN West street, and after
changing his pants left the city"
WAS not the house in West street
watched?' was asked Chief Goods.
Yes. but Policeman Ferguson, who
was on duty there. hearing the shots in
King street. left and came to the assist
znce OF his brother officers. and it
must have been during his absence that
Johnson entered the house and changed
his clothes. for when we went back TO
the house the muddy pants were lying
