Thomas Williams. the Negro sus-
pected of the Murder, Maintains

treating and killing eleven-year-old
Marie Smith, whose body was found in
wood near Wanamassa on Sunday
afternoon. was put through an exhaust
ing examination this afternoon by the
local police and County Detective Min
nth. Williams was made to look upon
the girls body while attempting to ae-
count for hts movements on Wednesday,
the day Un which the girl is believed 10
have been killed.
Al II o'clock tonight men appeared
around the station house with ropes.
crow-bars. and sledge hammers. and be-
gan to talk of attacking the jail, when
the police drove everybody at least a
block away and closed the street TO the
public
Chief Smith and Sheriff Hendricks 81
not care TO take chances with the crowd
that gathered about the jail, and the
examination was held in the chiefs Of
see. Williams wRs taken fsoIa his cell
late In the afternoon and conducted 10
the Office by rear stairway, so that no
one caught sight OF him.
Breaks Down Before Body.
The examination OF the negro lasted
two hours. He broke down when con-
frOnted with the body. but continued 10
protest his innocence. Regaining his
nerve after a few minutes. Williams at
tempted TO tell a connected story which
would account for his movements last
Wednesday II was much the same
story that he had told before, bat when
he was cross-questioned he became con-
fused. and in the end failed utterly 10
explain his whereabouts betweens 1880

dinner. carry her fathers dinner to him,
and return to school for her afternoon
classes.
It was suggested to-day that whoever
the criminal was he had tried to cover
his work by setting fire 10 the wood
There was brush blaze on Wednesday
night in the neighborhood of the road
near which the girls body was found.
The fremen were called out and they
headway.
Doubt as 40 Weapon.
Further examination Of the body left
the doctors in doubt as to the sort OF
weapon used m inficting the wound
found on the girls head. The cut In her
forehead is about two inches long. and
appears to be too wide and the edges
100 much bruised to have been inflicted
with a sharp-edged Weapon. IL is now
thought that a stone or club was used in
killing the child.
The first demonstration made by the
crowd outside the Jail came when IT was
announced that the city council had Of
fered $500 reward for information leading
10 the detection and conviction of the
murderer. Then there was a little cheer
ing. and during the excitement a man
appeared with rope. He said he came
from the South. where they knew how
10 deal with such cases. Before he could
say much more Sheriff Hendrick had him
by the collar and WAS leading him away

compulsory arbitration law and one
aimed to prevent decentralization OF

was called forth by the long continu-
ance of the street car mems strike in
Columbus In his letter to the mayor
the governor says In part:
Il am bound in frankness to say
that your sending such letter at this
time and promptly giving it to the
press suggests desire to make up by
fertility In recommending new laws
for the lack of efficiency In enforcing
laws with which you are charged by
the public In general"

Co. had had no obligations except that
relating TO the true value in money of
the property 1t operates; that is, had
il not been obliged to pay dividends
on 'watered stock, no doubt a reason
able increase of wages would have
been made on demand of employees.
Then there would have been no
strike, no violence, no interference
with street car service and no dis
grace of the city"
