Phillips Is Dead.
n%AP

A. Kinney, an employe at the Nie- penitentiary, was arrested late Sun day night, as a suspect in the Phillips murder case, and after a long sweat ing in the office of the plain clothes men he was locked up pending a further investigation. Kinney and another man were, it is said, prepar- ing to leave Little Rock and were suspected and the police were noti- fled. The men were arrested in an East Markham street restaurant. Kinney was held by the officers, while the other man was allowed to go.
 He has lived at the Niemeyer mill for some time, 1t is said, and held a position of some importance there.
 Patrolman Phillips. who was shot at Thirteenth and Pine streets while attempting an arrest at midnight Saturday, died Sunday morning at 9:30 at the city hospital, and the body
 
 from which place it was taken Mon- day to the family home in Pope county for interment.
 Although the police department de- voted much time to the case Sunday no arrest of consequence had been made at a-late hour Sunday night. A man named Morrison was arrested in the late afternoon on suspicion, but was released soon after the arrival of Chief of Police McMahon at head quarters Morrison easily convinced the officers that he was not in the city Saturday night, and therefore, could have had nothing to do with the murder of the officer.
 Coroner S. P. Vaughter empanneled jury Sunday afternoon, viewed the body, and adjourned until Monday af- ternoon at 4 o'clock, at which time the evidence of Patrolman A. B. Haven, who was with Phillips when the fatal shot was fired, the testimony of Dr. Q. K. Judd, city physician, who attended the wounded officer and who later made the post mortem examina- tion and such other evidence as the police may be able to present, will be taken.
 The bullet which killed Phillips entered the face and lacerated the upper part of the brain The bullet was found in the back part of the head, toward the base of the brain It was stated that the bullet came from a Colts revolver of about Al calibre. Phillips never was conscious after he was shot,
 W. T. Phillips was P years old and was the son of MT. and Mrs. Albert Phillips of Appleton, 16 miles from Atkins. He was born and raised at Appleton, and was farmer until he went to Little Rock about three years ago, when he accepted posi- tion as guard at the rock crusher. This position he held until the begin ming of this summer, when he return ed to Appleton, where he spent some time. Before he left, however, he put in an application for position as patrolman on the Little. Rock police force. He returned to Little Rock Thursday and went on duty as a policeman for the first time Saturday night. He. leaves his father and mother, five brothers and two sisters. His brother is one of the guards at the rock crusher.

For the first time in the history of the city, according to the records at least, Fayetteville Saturday had a rough and tumble fight where the participants were women.

Woman Bound to Bed With Wire.

Mrs. Newton Petit, wife of a respected workman employed by a Hot Springs numbering concern had terrifying experience at her home Wednesday and that she is now alive is no fault of an unknown assailant, who, after beating her almost into insensibility, thrust rag saturated mouth bound her securely to her bed with wire and then placed a number of matches in her mouth so that they would become ignited if she moved her head Two hours after Mrs. Petit had been bound and gagged work and released her On being re- leased she fell into a faint, and is now in dangerous condition from ner- vous exhaustion.
 Mrs. Pettit's experience is con sidered by the police to furnish one of the most remarkable examples of bold eriminality that has ever been shown in Hot Springs. After she had been beaten terribly the man at tempted to force her to swallow a greenish liquid which she thought to be poison. He then bound her to the bed, put rag saturated with some liquid in her mouth, and, after plac- ing the matches in her mouth, hur- riedly left the house.
 Mrs. Petit was unable to furnish a description of her assailant except as to size. She is certain the man wore a false mustache and beard as he constantly pressed these dis guises against his face, in order to keep them in place.
 With no clue to work on, the police began a search for Hank McDaniels, former husband of Mrs. Petit, who it is said, has caused her trouble in the past. McDaniels was arrested some time after Mrs. Petit was dis covered tied to the bed, but was later released, after he had been brought face to face with the woman. She failed to identify him as her as- sailant and he proved an alibi.
 An examination of the cloth thrust into Mrs. Pettit's mouth was made by City Chemist Cook and after two tests he stated that it had been satur- ated with arsenic before being placed in her mouth.
