ago. The hearing was held at the
worlhouse and several prisoners ap-
peared at witnesses. No verdict was
reached, the jury adjourning to meet
at the call of the coroner to hear
further testimony.
The Jury is composed of:

cused Of killing Guard Campbell;
George Dufield. John ]. Mitchell. VIII
liam J. Potts and Edward J. Sherer,
the four prisoners who witnessed the
shooting.
Duhield gave graphic description
OF how the shooting occurred, and his
evidence was coroborated by that Of
the other witnesses. He said that
he wrestled with Graham from the
Campbell. Campbell. he said had al
ready fired his revolver twice. The
witness described his unsuccessful

uel Hefier. OF Sixth and Ritner streets.
Of that city. who is accused Of being
one Of the parties to the act.
According TO Reches. he advertised
for a business In the Wilmington

supposed to be Hefier. and two others
called at his bakery and asked him to
go into the dry goods business with
them. They had 5000, they said. and
wanted $4,000 more. Reches agreed 70
enter the partnership and agreed TO
meet the men In a store at Third and
King streets.
Reches took 50 500 with him. The men
talked over the proposition and nnally
reached an understanding. Rechcs was
l counting his money ana placing Il on

achemical preparation on some Of the
bills which made the paper turn white
and fall apart.
The newcomers are said 70 have
caught Hefler by the coat and de-
clared that he was q oounterfeiter. and
that he had made the money. They
took Hefiier and his partners into
custody. and turning to Reches told
him they knew his money was good,
and that he was an honest man, and
as long as he was not involved with
the "counterfeiters" he had better
make his escape.
Reches was too frightened to ask ques-
tions and he ran from the room leaving
his $500 on the table. which IS said to
have been gathered up by the bogus de-
tectives and the men who had first met
Reches. All disappeared.
Reches was dumbfounded when he dis
covered that his money had ben taken
along with the supposed counterfeit bills
He feared TO notify the police because
OF the noterlety which would follow, so
he decided to say nothing about the in
