FEUD WITNESS MURDERED.
Accuser Of Kentucky Judge Enyeigled Into
Gard Game and Killed.

LEXINGTON. n.y.. July i2.-At Elkatawa,
Bresthitt county. last night Curtis Smith
was shot and killed by Seigel Turner and,
il is believed, a new feud started. Smith
was a brother Of John Smith. who con-
fessed TO taking part in the a~aeassinations
of James Cockrill and DR.. p. ID. Cox at
jackson in the Cockrill- Hargis feud and
also a brother of Govan Smith. deputy
town marshal Of jackson, and was himself
a vital witness in the feud trial. since IL was
at his home where John Smith says he
and John Abner stopped at midnight of
the Saturday before Cockrill was killed,
as they were on their way to jackson to
do the job.
John Abner contradicted the testimony
Of John Smith and also OF Curtis Smith
and they had warned him that he must
not repeat the contradiction. The slayer
Of Smith is not related 70 either the Hargises
or 10 Abner, but Smiths friends are in
clined 70 the theory that there 10 a plot to
exterminate them.
Smith had entered a small room and
began TO play cards with Taylor, when
suddenly he found himself surrounded by
enemies. He rose revolver in hand and
began shooting. His bullets. it seems,
went wild and Turner killed him.

Urges Comprehensive scheme for the De
velOpment OF state Fair Grounds.

VeIOpInent or state Fair Gr0unus.
ALBANY, July l2.-with but half a dozen
members present in eac mouse Gov.
Hughes to-day sent another special message
to the Legislature recommending additional
subjects of legislation. The Governor
wants provision made for telephone COM
municatiop with Quarantine and for the
adoption Of a comprehensive scheme for
developing the State Fair at Syracuse.
In his message the Governor says:
ITO the Legislature:
II recommend for POUR consideration
the subject Of making a suitable appropria-
ton for expert examination OF the site OF
the State Fair at Syracuse and the prepara-
ton of suitable plans for an adequate
scheme of development.
The State Fair is an enterprise too i'm
portant to be permitted to develop except
with reference to some carefully devised
and comprehensive plan. While appreciat-
ing the intelligent direction which
the fair has been brought to it's
present high degree of usefulness. | believe
the time mas come when plans for the future
should be matured under expert guidance,
so that. as buildings are provided from
time to time and provision is made for the
various interests of the fair, they all may
have relation TO a suitable general scheme
This matter should be taken in hand prompt
ly so that the needed extension OF facilities
should not be delayed and at the same
time all the advantages of method and
foresight should be secured
Il have ~disapproved the item in the bill
passed at the last session for a new EXPOSE
ton building. with the idea that the subject
can Immediately be dealt with and under
expert directions plans can be made, pur-
suant to which the required appropriations
can be provided early in the next session OF
the Legislature. This procedure. l believe,
will prove of great advantage and insure
the development of the fair, in which all
citizens should be interested, in the most
satisfactory manner.
II also recommend for vour consideration
the subject of making provision. by suit
able appropriation, for necessary repairs
and requirements TO establish telephone
communication between the quarantine
station on StatenIsland and Hoffman Island,
and also between Hoffman Island and Swim
burne Island.
Owing to the bad condition Of the present
cable the quarantine station ie now without
means OF communication with the islands
save by boat. II is obvious that this is not
only a matter Of inconvenience but might
easily prove 70 be Of the most serious en-
barrassment 10 the operations OF the quar-
antine establishment in the time OF emer-
gency. The matter 10 urgent and cannot
properly be left to the next session OF the

Sold His Outstanding Accounts Also.
William Allen, referee in bankruptcy at
81 Wall street. has rendered a decision on
the application for a discharge from bank
ruptcy made by Matthew r. Donohue.
plumber, OF 256a Broadway. and formerly a
Tammany district leader. He recommends
that a discharge be denied.
His discharge was opposed by Henry W.
Sykes. attorney for the John Simmons
Company. a creditor for 8 o ,i24. who fled
specifications of objection. the principal
ones being that between August o and
October 8. 1906, he received $500 from
accounts and failed to surrender the pro-
ceeds to his trustee for creditors. A large
amount of testimony was aiken before the
referee. who sustains h principal objec-
tions. From the referees report il appears
tina within four months of bankruptcy
Mr.. Donohue sold outstanding accounts to
friends, acquaintances, his ger and
to his aunt, receiving therefor $500. His
books do not show what became Of this
money nor has he any vouchers. bills or
receipts.
He testified that he spent SIS. 600 in cleo
ton expenses. loans TO constituents and
$500 on the raoetrack. The loans he did
not include in his schedules. as he could
not recall the names Of those TO whom the
loans we're extended. Ie considered il a
charitab bic deed wher ne advanced the
money. II also appeared that a clerk,
whose salary was only $40 per week, pur-
chased and paid g., ESQ cash to Mr.. Donohue
for some OF the accounts. Because he
failed to place the loans in his schedules
and the amounts he has concealed from his
creditors the referee sustained the speciica-
ton. At the time the accounts were as
signed and the proceeds concealed an action
was pending in the Supreme Court against
MIR. Donohue by the John Simmons Com
pany on which judgment for SS,i34 was
recovered on October 8. 1905. Knowing OF
proceeded 10 dispose of his a~ccounts, and
according 10 his own story squandered
the monev about through his district in
campaign Expenses. including horse races
and oan TO constituents.
His manager testified that Mr.. Donohue
was broke at this time. but subsequently
qualified il by saying that MIR. Donohue
did not know il.
The referee declared that il is inoonoeiv-
able that Mr.. Donohue, who had difficulty
in paying his debts and was short Of funds
andwho was squandering SIS, 900 incampaign
expenses and had a suit pending against
him which finally resulted in a Judgment
for SO. 1874. should not know Of his insolvent
condition.
Mr.. Sykes said yesterday that he would
make a motion in the United States District
Court as soon az possible to confirm the
report OF the referee. A petition in bank
ruptcy was filed against Mr.. Donohue on
October Is, 1906. His liabilities were s22, 22o
and the assets in the trustees hands are
said to be only sl20.
