but enough was cleaned from ru-

acted hastily and knew what they
were about.
Slade remained in the Pike
county jail from that time until
the convention Of the September
term Of the Circuit Court, when
he was indicted BY The grand jury,
and upon the 14th day Of Septem-
Der, 1905, he was arraigned be-
fore the court, entered a plea of
not guilty, and the most famous
trialin the history of the county
was begun.
After considerable delay and
some trouble in securing a jury

The capture of Slade was effect
led in a very simple manner.
Sheriff Lee had known all along
that SIade was in the habit of Wis
liting his aunt, Mrs. Sue Duncan,
who lives in the extreme south
eastern corner of the county. He
has had spoilers who have kept
him advised of Slade's move
ments, but it seems that Slade had
also friends who kept him con-
stantly informed of the sheriff's
whereabouts. Whenever the sher-
if would leave Magnolia or Nc
Comb City. Slade would at once
go to his place of refuge below
the State line.
| But Tuesday, Pike county's Wig
liant sheriff seems to have thrown
Slade and his allies completely
off their guard. On that morning
he went to New Orleans and there
met his "spottero who gave him
all the details of Slade's wherea-
bouts. He then returned to Nc
Comb on the first evening train
and went at once to Fernwood,
going thence to Tylertown. At
lTylertown, he summoned to his
assistance Deputy Sheriff M. H.
Holmes and some five or six pri-
vate citizens on whom he knew be
coulddepend, and procuring teams
the posse drove direct to Mrs.
Duncan's place. They arrived
there shortly after midndight, and
the sheriff so arranged his posse
that every avenue of escape from
! the house was cut off and the
whole place completely surround
ed. Sheriff Lee then went to the
front door and standing one side
raped sharply. Mrs. Duncan
responded and Mr.. Lee quietly
told her that be knew Slade was
in the house and that he had come
for him. Slade was in an adjoin-
ing room and hearing the parley
between his aunt and the sheriff,
be jumped from his bed seized
his Colts magazine revolver and
made for the window. As soon as
he appeared at that opening he
saw the form of some of the sher7
lifts men outside and opened FIRE
upon them. They responded and
Slade cried out that be was shot

lhad been shot through the right

OFFICER SMITH SUSPENDED
COIOred Policeman Admits He Slapped
White Woman in Face
on Street.

Emory r. Smith, one Of Omahas two
colored police patrolmen, was suspended
from the force Friday night by Captain
Dunn upon instructions from Chief Dona-
hue following charges made against him
by Mrs. Grace Birnbaum, who accuses the
officer of having struck her on the street
and also using improper language. The
assault was witnessed by a number Of men
and Chief Donahue has the written state
ments Of four Of them, besides the written
charges of the victim. He also has the
written reply OF the officer, in which he
confesses that he slapped the woman once.
Mrs. Birnbaum lives at 100 Leavenworth
street and is a niece of Zenas Stevens, 917
North Twenty-flrst street The encounter
occurred at Twenty-frst and Cunning
streets, where Mrs Birnbaum had been at
the home of her uncle. Smith was off duty
and dressed in plain clothes at the time
the assault occurred.
The assault occurred at s o'clock Friday
evening. Some of the details of the oc-
currenoe were reported to Captain Dunn
at the police station and he Immediately
communicated them to Chief Donahue, re-
ceiving instructions to divest Smith OF his
badge of authority and keys when he
should report for duty on the third detail
at midnight.
John j. Gwin, 9OO2 Cunning street; Ben
jamin F. Stewart 923 North Twenty-first
street; John Stevens, 917 North Twenty
first street, and Nels Jensen, 2102 Cunning
street, are among the witnesses against
Smith. Each one of these signed state
ments setting forth what they saw and
heard, and their testimony Is corroborative
OF different portions of the story told by
Mrs. Birnbaum herself.
After being suspended Smith wrote a
letter OF explanation to Chief Donahue,
in which he says: IT slapped her just a
little with my hand in the face, but not
hard"
Mrs. Birnbaum was unwilling, when she
called on Chief Donahue Saturday morning,
TO file complaint in police court against
Smith, shrinking from the publicity the
incident would give her. but Donahue in
sisted that she push the matter, and she
promised TO return in the afternoon and
make formal charge.
Smith was appointed to the police force
about four years ago. He has been be-
fore the board OF commissioners for repri-
mand on trifing charges on two or three
occasions,
