Little ltock, Jan. Zl.-Ssbul SelDert Of Morfdlton, an aged sign painter and recently In the snow business, was killed in cold blood last night, it Is thougnx beiore midnight, in a cell in the Argenta police station in the city hall on Main street, by fellow rison- CTS.
 Frank Morris is accused of the murder although John Miller, Mike Boumnach, I. w. Warren and J. Shaw. the last a negro, are held un der charges Of murder One of the prisoners state the act was done by Morris, who firsrt bumped Sieberts hsat on the cement floor ndthen kicked him.
 The man was founl this morning when an effort was made to awaken the prisoners. lying on the floor, face downward. with the right temple crushed While the inquest has not been completed, one of the prisoners stated this morning the murder had been committed by rank Morris, a one~legged beggar, who used his wood en leg for weapon
 After being killed Seibert's clothing was cut with knife and his left shoe was taken of and slashed around me varnp. 4 knife was found conceared in Morris wooden leg this morning when he was searched. The other prisoners would not talk of the affair.
 A soldier named Y. w. Warren had marks on his face, indicating he had been fighting. and is said to have been struck by Morris.
 As there are only four cells in the Areenta police static 1. two for colored people and two for white, the men being confined in one and women in the other. Seihert wars placed in the cell with Boubnach, Warren. Morris and Miller. short time later the turnkey went to cell to see if it was ,wurHn and saw Seiberr lying face downward on the floor.
 The other prisoners were in the hunks. and did not say anything about fight, Boubnach asked for a match about 1 o'clock and at that time Sci bert was lying in the same position, apparently having gone to sleep that way. About 5 o'clock the turnkey told Boubnach to awaken the other men. but he refused to do so, saying he was afraid Shortly afterwari it was discovered Seibert was dead and probably had been for several hours.
 IL was the theory that Seibert was attacked by Morris or his assalant as soon as the turnkey locked the cell door and closed the large wooden door shutting the police part from the fire department. He was probably knock. ed down, and the bruise. which is the size of ahe end of the wooden leg worn by Morris, is thought to have been made by stamping on his head. The shoulder. face and one side bear evidence Of beating, the blood hay. ing oongested under the skin.
 The blow which crushed the temple cut the eyelid and entirely closed the optic by swelling. As there were no cws on the mans body the clothing was evidently cut after his death, or as he was dying, and the shoe had been removed from the foot and tho top of the vamp cut in circular The cuts were easily seen to be cuts and were not tears such as would be made In scuffle or by being struck by train. No blood was on the edges cut.
 Seibert. while sign painter b' trade. had been running Q family show until his family left him recently Since then he has been making q llv lng as a hypnotist, phrenologist ant fortune teller. He had two grips which contained considerable cloth
