DAY INDICTED ON
 CHARGE OF MURDER
Shot and Killed D. Henry Duncan at Clio Last March and Was Acquit- ted at Preliminary Hearing
 by Magistrate.

Pine Bluff, July 21.-John W. Day, who shot and killed D. Heu- ry Duncau, the millionaire vic> president of the Bluff City Lum- Der Company at Clio, Cleveland county, on March p, has been indicted for murder in the first degree by the Cleveland County Grand Jury at Rison.
 The indictment comes as no surprise in this city. for since the recent appearance of Mrs. Dun can at Risou, where she went when the grand jury was em- panneled and asked to be permit ted to go before that body, it has been the impression here that an indictment against Day would re- suit. Attorney T. Havis Nixon of this city, who prosecuted Day at the preliminary hearing given him immediately after the killing of Duncan before Magistrate Roe buck at Rison, also visited Cleye- land county soon after the grand jurors were instructed.
 Released at Preliminary Hearing.
 The preliminary hearing of Day attracted wide attention, owing 10 the sen Sational testimo. ny that was introduced at the hearing and the peculiar circum- stances under which the killing occurred. Day was acquitted by the magistrate.
 Attorney Alexander H. Rowell of this city, who defended Day at the preliminary hearing, stated last night that Day, who is his brother-in law, is now employed at Bigelow. He said Day had been informed ot his indictment and was on his way to this city to make bond for his appearance.

 Into Allowing Him to Pass.

Little Rock, July O.-Ignor ing the command of an armed guard to halt and paying still les' attention when the guard started to level a shotgun at him, George w. Caldwell of the firm of Cald we'll & Drake yesterday afternoon walked past one of the guards al the new state capitol informing the guard that he had perfect right on the property. as it was still in his possession, and spent some time in the building looking over the work of destruction tha is being carried on at the direc' ton of the Capitol Commission
 MT. Caldwell expressed some surprise at the material that is being torn out and declared that the work that IS being removed is as good as any in the city.
 MT. Caldwell was accompanied on his trip to the state capitol by Tom Wilson, who represents Caldwell & Drake in Little Rock. The two were accosted by one of the trusty convicts who are guard ing their fellows now at work on the capitol building. The guard stood near the site of the main entrance to the building and or dered Mir. Caldwell to halt as he came up. stating that no one was allowed in the building unless he had pass,

Several thousand dollars worth Of mate- rial was removed yesterday after noon and every dollars worth that is being removed is being taKen from my family. That concrete work they are tearing out is as solid as you can find any place in the Southern Trust or any building. l asked several men out there yesterday what they thought of it aud they all said it looked all right to them. They are having the hardest kind of work removing she concrete work. They are tearing out floors without testing them, and ! wan, to repeat what have always said. that I stand ready aud will- ;uy to have those floors all tested and it will be proves that they can stand all tue weight called sax ;a the specification ', =.
