Daily News Special.
JACKSON, Miss, April 5.-Emma
SmotherS, the negro woman made
famous by her acquital on a blind
tiger charge by a jury, the members
OF which would not believe the tes-
tlmony of the two detectives who tes-
tilted that they bought both whisky
and beer from her, who afterward en-
tered plea of nolle contendre in the
city court and promptly paid fines ag.
gregating $500, and who two nights
later, on last Saturday night, was
again caught in the police trap and
jailed on similar charge, has now
gotten herself in still more serious
trouble, with murder charge oppo.
site her name on the police blotter.
About 43O Sunday morning six pis-
tol shots were heard near the cross
ing of Monument street and the A. &
V. railroad. An hour later the driver
OF milk wagon came along and found
the dead body of a negro named Geo.
Spriggs, with a bullet hole entering
under the chin and coming out at the
back of the neck.
Spriggs was a married man, but liv-
ed about as much at the house of
Emma Smothers as at home. He had
assisted in getting her bond arranged
on Saturday night, and in company
with another negro, had gone home
with her from the police station. No.
body knows of their later movements.
Spriggs wife says that Spriggs
came home shortly before he was
killed, and told her that Emma Smoth-
ers had followed him to the bridge
near the house and had threatened to
burn his house. He changed his
clothes, she said, and told her he was
going out to look around. He never
came back, and she knows nothing
more about it.
Near the negro's dead body was
found a pistol belonging to Emma
Smothers, with two recently emptied
chambers. Near that was a quart bot
rag. The woman admits that the pis-
toll was hers, but says Sprggs had
taken it away with him two or three
weeks ago and had not returned it.
That is the case, so far as it has
been developed. How it happened
that six shots were distinctly heard
and only two chambers in the revol-
