SONS FATHER-I N-L
D. A. King, of Richmond, Placed
Under Arrest for the Murder of
John Curran, of Baltimore,
Who Died From Wounds
at the City Hospital.
RICHMOND. VA.-Snocial--


ID. A. King was arrested by Detec-
tive Mcmahon Wednesday evening on
the charge OF committing the assault
on John Curran that caused his death.
King is a painter and lives at 800
North Twenty eighth Street. The as
sault occurred three weeks ago. Cur
ran was found walking in n dazed
way at Cary and Ninth Streets. He
was taken to the City Home, where,
a few days later. he died, without ever
fully regaining consciousness.
Detective McMahon began his in
vestigation OF the assault shortly af-
ter the cOroner's inquest and found
two spots OF blood near the front gate
of Kings dwelling house. They had
been there since the Sunday morning
Curran was found until the following
Wednesday. He questioned Mrs. King
and her answers were very much con-
fused. She said one blood spot near
the gate had been there since the pre-
ceding day and the detective then dis
covered another. directly fronting the
gate. 1t is said by the officer that
King and his wife agreed that the
assault had occurred near the gate
and attempted to fasten the crime on
someone else. but that their state
ments were not sufficiently convinc-
ing TO warrant this other persons ar
rest. Further investigation led to the
arrest of King, who insists that he is
not guilty. The detective however,
believes he has strong circumstantial
evidence against him.
Curran and King were connected
by marriage, Curran's son having
married Kings daughter. and il was
to visit his son that Curran came
here from Baltimore. He brought
with him $500. which he deposited
I'm the First National Bank. Thurs
day. April 2d, he and his son went
to Ellerson's, Hanover county, where
the son left him, believing his father
would spend a couple Of weeks there.

and young Curran say that they knew
nothing of his return until they read
of the assault in the papers.

learned that King was once given
three years in Goldsboro, n. c., for a
similar crime. but was pardoned af-
ter serving twelve months
