The case was last called on Sep

plea that he and his associates had
not had ample time to conduct al

Since that time Attorney Sims has

to have passed between him and the
department OF justice. What was

plying the whitewash brush and wip-

dis and Attorney Sims are loath to
close the case by the immunity meth

fare between them and the depart

1t is believed in sine quarters that
Lands and Sims intend to drag into

Principals Were Killed z
(Tampa Evening News, 12thD

1AIAEd 4-Ftl44A4S -NCN - A-tAl-
Mulberry, Polk county, was yester-
day the scene Of an exciting duel,
which resulted in the death Of both
p-incinais-B. Burnsed. for many years
~es!dent Of Tampa. and Robert Hum
phreys. who lived at Bradentown prior
10 removing TO Mulberry. Humphreys
died an hour after being shot, while
Burnsed. who went to Mulberry sew
eral months ago. fingered until an
early hour this morning.
For some time Burnsed and Hum
phreys have occupied adjoining stores,
Burnsed conducting a meat market
and Humphreys conducting a restaur-
ant. They had no trouble until last
week, when on Saturday they engaged
in a quarrel over their children, which
yesterday resulted in Burnsed plac-
ing Humphreys under peace bond.
Shortly after the bond was made,
the two men met and, according TO in
formation secured by Sheriff Virgins,
of Polk county, Humphreys drew a
3S-calibre liver Johnson revolver and
opened fire upon BurnSed. The latter
coolly drew a Smith & Wesson revolt
yer Of the same character and return
ed the fire. When the fusillade of
shots ended both principals were pros
trate on the ground. Humphreys hav-
ing sent a ball through Burnsed's body
in the neighborhOod of the liver, also

he was shot in practically the same
place in the body by Burnsed. The
two men were given surgical attention
as quickly as possible, but both were
beyond human aid.
Humphreys. from the statement of
Sheriff Virgins, appears to have been
the aggressOr throughout the difficult
ty, forcing the duel on Burnsed. Both
men leave families to mourn their
tragic death. IL is now known whether
city for burial or inferred at Mulberry.
Humphreys burial will probably oc-
cur at Bradentown.
B. Burnsed had been a well known
character in and about Tampa for
many years, having lived near Twenty
second street for long time. He and
his sons, Bob and WILL have frequent
ly engaged in fights with other par
ties at and near the Seminole saloon.
for which they have been arrested. In
the difficulty that caused his death
and that of his antagonist. however.
he appears to have been in the right.
First reports received were that Will
and Bob Burnsed had also engaged in
the affray. but this rumOr proved to
be untrue.
