EARLY DAY MURDER
BROUGHT TO Light
NORTH CAROLINA MAN WOULD
LIKE TO FIND TRACE OF
BROTHERS SLAYER.
Victim Of "Unfair" Murder Was Sup
posed to Have Had Considerable
Wealth In His Possession.

In an effort to get hold of property
supposed to have been held by his
brother who was murdered near this
city ABOUT thirty years ago, M. S.
Smyre of Newton, N. c., has written
to residents here in an effort to find
sonme one who was acquainted with
Abel Luther Smyre in the days when
Dakota was territory and Judge
Lynch and the vigilants ran things
with high hand.
Mr.. Smyre has already ascertained
that his brother was successful in the
business of selling cord wood to the
steamers on the Missouri river, and
that he was murdered when he was
about to leave the country and strike
for other and better pastures.
A man by the name Of Ed. Hall has
been located who has said to have wit.
messed the killing Of Smyre. Hall
was a squaw man. and moved to wha,
is now Bismarck in 1869 and was re-
ported to be square. For some years
he drove stage between bismarck and
Buford, and when speaking Of the
killing of 'Smyre, called it an unfair
killing.
In the early days in this part of the
country there was little attention paid
to killings unless it was an unfair
one; that is, the man who was killed
did not have chance to defend him
self and it is stated that it was in this
way that Smyre came to his end.
"A man by the name of Mcdonald is
accused of the murder. he making his
getaway shortly after the killing and
only being seen once in this part of
the country thereafter. 1t was be-
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-02-25

lieved that shortly before the murder
the man Smyre had considerable
money on his person, some claimed as
much as $4,000, and it was thought
that Mcdonald had secured that and
when Smyre insisted on the return of
the money he was murdered in cold
blood.
The purpose of the brother in North
Carolina who is looking for informa-
ton is to secure some trace of the
money and Of the murderer if possible
and he offers 500 reward for the ap-
prehension Of Mcdonald, if he is still
alive, or for any information that will
lead to the recovery of the money
that is supposed to have been pos
sessed by Smyre at the time of his
death.
The letter received in Bismarck
does not, however, contain any de-
scription of the suspected man and it
is very unlikely that any trace of him
could be found at this late date, if
he is still in the land of the living

gold brick scheme similar to the
one through which scores of wealthy
English families are said to have
been: vit:ttmizedE to the, extent Of near
ly $1!O00,000' by Adams and his band
during the last ten years.
Adams was found in a cell in the
Tombs yesterday reading newspapers.
This question was put to him:
"Postofflce inspectors have positive
ly identified you as James A. Currie
of brooklyn; what statement have
you to make?"
Although he seemed greatly sur
prised, Adams arose from his couch
and apparently with the greatest I'M
concern answered: There is moth
ing I care to say"
Living in a beautiful home in r.
stricted Wildwood Manor, near
Sheepshead Bay, Adams has been
surrounded by all the Injuries that
wealth can afford. Here he has been
known as Mr.. Currie, an eminontly
respectable citizen and property
owner. He has been a frequent and
welcome guest at exclusive clubs un-
til recently, and has taken his after
noon rides in the park on horseback
or in an expensive automobile. He
has credit at two leading banks.
In his home life Adams is said to
have marked himself as an actor of
the highest rank. Throwing aside his
smoking jacket and volume Of
Shakespeare, he could effect the dis
guise of the miner Of the hills of
British Columbia and lure the wealthy
victim into paying thousands of dol
lars for brick of brass filings which
he represented as the pure metal
from the mine in which the dupe's
dead relative had owned a consider
able interest.
Then forgetting his criminal haunts
and deserving his companions of the
'0Wer world, Red" would resume
his life of responsibility and parade as
a law-abiding, honest citizen. He
would return to his fireside and re-
new his interest in affairs BETTING
a prosperous man who has earned his
wealth after years of prospecting in
the canyons and along the hllsides
of the Rockies.

AT that time a letter was received
from an Illinois party offering to re-
turn about half of the money paid for
the gold brick, providing no questions
were asked. It was rumored that
Mr. Chaffee agreed to this, but 1t is
evident that some hitch occurred at
the other end, where fear of criminal
prosecution was evident.

Detectives investigating the career
Of RED" Adams, now in the Tombs,
have uncovered remarkable dual
life. Adams is known to the police
as an international swindler, the lead
er Of a daring band Of confidence
men. In Brooklyn he has posed as
James A. Currie, a capitalist, a man
of social position and a member OF
social clubs. He has saved much Of
the proceeds of his unlawful opera
tons, and in Brooklyn has led the life
Of a man Of fortune and quiet tastes.
Even his own family did not know
of his secret life as a swindler.
Full of romance and thrilling ad-
ventures has been the life of this
man of dual personality, who will be
arraigned Monday in the federal court
charged with defrauding William Lea,
an Englishman, out Of $4,000 in a
