SMITHS TRIAL
fixed FOR DEG. 5TK

The trial of E. j. Smith, sheriff oi
VoluSia county, charged with the mur.
der of w. A. McCaskill of Drayton
Island, will come up in the Circuit
Court for Alachua county, at Gainesville
on Tuesday, Dec. 5th.
The case was originally set for Mon
day, Nov. 10th, but was put over TO Dec.
5th, by agreement of the attorneys for
the state and the defendant.
This is a case of deep interest to the
people of Putnam county. w. A. Nc,
Caskill the victim of the tragedy was
one of the oldest, best esteemed citizens
of Putnam county, nephew of the late
U. S. Senator Pettus of Alabama.
Along with other citizens of his sec
ton Mr.. McCaSkill was engaged in the
fishing business. On the morning OF
Sept. 2Sth the sheriff of Volusia county
was making raid on some fisherman
on big Lake George, whom he (the
sheriff. claimed were violating the state
fishing laws. The McCaskill brothers
were some distance out in the lake on
their way home in a launch. 1t is
claimed by Sheriff Smith that he called
TO, and ordered the McCaskill's to stop,
anu DO liSy ulu HOt uO oO hC OpCuCu
fire.
Sheriff Smith shot three times, the
third shot striking w. A. McCaskill in
the head and inflicting a wound from
which he died at Welaka in few
hours.
The coroner's jury held on Oct. 9th
gave verdict TO the effect that the fir.
ing of Sheriff Smith at McCaskill was
with felonious intent, and the Volusia
county sheriff was held 10 the action OF
the grand jury.
The grand jury OF the Putnam Circuit
Court the following week found a true
bill charging Smith with murder in the
first degree.
Smith entered plea of "not guilty."
but the case, on motion of defendants
attorneys, was granted a change of
venue, and Judge Wills named h c
Alachua Circuit Court as the place of
trial. Smith was placed under bond of
$40, 900.
There is much indignation among the
people of this county who are familiar
with the case, that Gov. Gilchrist has
not removed Sheriff Smith from office.
They believe, and not without reason,
that the killing of w. A. McCaskill was
deliberate; that Smith is a cold blooded
murderer. The Putnam grand jury also
| thought so.

from there to Potomac Park. and from
there to Arlington. These four locations

Shonts' Meeting Lulls
Rumor of Separation

NEW YORK. July 31.-1ndications
that her troubles with her husband,
the traction magnate. had been
patched up, at least to certain ex-
tent, were not lacking when Mrs.
Theodore P. Shonts, accompanied by
ADr two daughters and her young
grandson, the Due de Chaulnes, ar
rived here today on the liner Rot
terdam.
Shonts went down the bay to greet
the party and spent most of his time
with his young grandchild, which he
carried to the upper deck so they
could be. photographed together.
Shonts refused to discuss family af-
fairs, but said that the fact that he
personally met his family, ought, to
speak for itself. Mrs. Shonts, when
asked about the various reports af-
fecting her personal affairs, said:
II am not responsible for these
rumors."
Shonts said they had no idea how
long they would stay here. but Mrs.
Shonts said she thought at least
through next winter.
