The daily sentinel., 1908-10-23

The following is from yesterdays
Pueblo Star-Journal:
81 would like to have that man
out in the country where came
FROM said j. H. Broemser, in re-
ferring to former Policeman Jimmie
williams, now in the county jail
awaiting trial for assault with in
tent to commit murder. 81 would
take him out into the woods and
would measure off twenty PAGES.
Then | would give him gun and
would let him take the first shot We
wouldn't bother with such little mat
sers as trials up there: but | would
be willing to give him show for his
white ally, even though he doesn't
deserve any
Mr.. Broemser is the father of Clara
Broemser, the young girl at whom
the former policeman shot through a
window, and he comes from Wyom-
ing. where he is engaged in the con-
struction of the Laramie & Hahn S
Peak railroad, a spur of the Union
Pacific running down into Routt
county.
Mr.. Broemser did not volunteer
this information as 10 his longings
in relation to Mr.. Williams; in fact,
it only came out that he entertained
such views after request to see
williams had been refused by the
sheriff's office. At first Mr.. Broem
ser was very quiet and self-contained
and it was not until the permission
to see the man who so brutally shot
down his child had been refused that
his feelings got away with him.
81 am trying to find out what this
has all been about" said the father,
land so far | have been unable to
learn why that man. old enough to
n. 4, fnt s-tn nj Al toll n
shot at the kid in that cowardly
manner. Possibly if l could see the
man he might throw some light up
on the matter. They say that he was
drunk and some say that he was
crazy. and from what | can learn
the latter is probably the truth. II
he was crazy, then it was no new
thing, and | would like to know how
a crazy man could get on the police
force in town like Pueblo"
Mr.. Broemser says that his daugh-
ter told him that Williams had been
sent to the house where she had been
boarding to attend to some official
duty and that he had frequently
called since, his excuse being that
ne had called to see if the husband
of the lady of the house, who had
been engaged in trouble which led
the couple into the divorce courts,
had been troubling the woman. The
girl never thought that Williams was
attracted to the house by herself. and
when the officer met her on the night
Of the shooting and asked to call up
on her that evening, she naturally
became frightened because the man
had obviously been drinking. and
refusing to meet him, she had run
into the house.
Clara Broemser will be taken from
the hospital tomorrow, she having
recovered sufficiently to bear remov-
al. The ugly wound in her breast
caused by the bullet from Williams
as is, of course. not healed; but the
physicians believe that all danger is
now past and that the girl will re-
sager' speedily.
Miss Broemser will be kept in this
city until after the trial of Williams
and the father alleges that he will
retain special counsel to assist the
district attorney in the prosecution OF
she case.
"As this is not the hills of Wyom-
ing, we will have to soak that man
as far as the law allows" is the way
that the father dismisses the sub
ject.
Mr.. Broemser was former resi-
dent of Grand Junction: but in re-
cent years he has been in the field
