for several months, is in precarious
condition In hospital here, and it is
feared that he may not recover.
Detectives working on the case are
no longer of the opinion that Captain
Meakin was shot By his own hand
and expect that within d short while
they will be able to lay their hands
upon the person who did the shoot
ing, who may be charged with muir
der IN the event of Captain Meakin's
death.
A new phase of the case developed
when two officers who had Just pass
ed the LAWYER residence, reported to
Detectives Wiley and Kellam, who
are handling the case, that they
heard voices, whichsthey were unable
to identify, within the house talking
in loud and excited manner.
Well, I'm going to kill Meakin II
1 have to follow him 10 years, !" said
the voice of a man, according to this
report, Kim going to- shoot him. !,
Although the speakers are. un-
known, the detectives declare that
there are only two persons, to their
knowledge, who would wish to kill
Meakin and these are well-known
persons. whose names are withheld.
Aside from this, the detectives
have nothing to work up, except the
conflicting statement of Meakin and
Mrs. Lawler, who says that she knew
nothing of the shooting until she
heard the report of a pistol and ran
to Captain Meakin's room, to ind
him wounded. Captain Meakin, how
ever, maintains that the revolver
which wounded him was discharged
in a struggle between himself and
Mrs. Lawler for the possession of the
weapon.
