False and Preposterous.

hours when he took occasion to deny the

not.

Clark this morning. that 1 ever said
anything justifying the conclusion that /

Statements of Witnesses
Collected by the Police

When the first evidence was procured
which appeared to connect James Smith,
alleged assailant of Morris Bennett, with
the murder of William II. Mickle. the It'll
street tobacconist. Smith declared he had
been in Prince Georges county all day
Thursday, November 16, and that he
could prove it by Cleveland Walker and
John Walker.
What the witnesses said on this point:
Cleveland walker-'I cannot account
for a minute of Smiths time on the day
that Mickle died.
roomed at the Walker house at Cedar
Heights. Md.-"Smith was away all Thurs
day afternoon and evening. He came In
Thursday night after l was asleep and
got up and went away before L was
awake Friday morning.
Subsequently Smith admitted that he
had been in Washington Thursday. ana
that he had passed the Mickle store on
denied all knowledge of the monkey
wrench with which Mickle was killed,
and denied that he was in any way con-
nected with that crime.
Willard w. Stout Smiths pal, with
whom he slept in AndersCn's woodward,
in Southwest Washington-'There were
two monkey wrenches at Anderso sons
woodward. Smith and l left the wood

Paper and String Clue.

Another theorist believes:
with the number of clues in hand I
do not think the police should have a great
deal Of difficulty in apprehending the MUIR
derer Of William Mickle.' To begin with.
monkey wrench, numbered, was used.
A piece of paper of a special texture
was used to wrap up the instrument.
and this in turn was secured by piece
OF string. Now, take the number of
places in the city using this particular
kind of paper and the number using the
same kind Of string. The number OF
places where the murderer could have
secured both the paper and the string
would be comparatively small.
''Then it is probable that some one
saw the man with his paper-wrapped
wrench as he left the place where he Sc
cured the paper and string BY gradually
narrowing the clues down In this man
ner there would finally be left but one
mantle murderer who wrapped a mon
key wrench in a certain kind Of paper
tied up with certain kind Of string"
Fails to Establish Alibi.
j. wilhoite, on whom Smith has said
he could rely to prove that he was
not in Chicago at the time Of the MUIR
ders. which the police declare were
committed by Smith, alias Kabusta, told
a reporter for The Star this afternoon
that he had not known Smith before
April %, 1909. The murders in Chi
cago with which Smith has been iden-
titled by the Chicago police occurred
in 1908.
Mr.. Wflhoite declared that he was pos
tive that the date on which he first saw
Smith to know him was April %, 1909.
A man, who claimed to be brother Of
Jim Smith, was in the neighborhood OF
Chesapeake junction this afternoon, max
ing inquiries about Smith, it was learned.
He appealed to a conductor on one of the
electric cars for Information.

would not leave the store again during
the evening, and sooner or later some one
would open the door Of the cupboard In
which he was hiding. Fearing arrest he
determined to open the door quickly and
strike the man down with the monkey
wrench he was carrying. AS Mickle
bent over the robber sprang from his
hiding place and dealt the death blow.
No one approaching the assailant decided
to take a desperate chance. He pulled
the roll Of bills from the trousers pocket
of his victim. and ran from the shop in
time to escape detection.
Now let the police find the sneak
thief who is desperate man when
driven to It; who has lately stolen or
bought monkey wrench; who has a
strong arm, and works in a place using
the kind Of PAPER wrapped about the
wrench"
