STILL PROBING THE
CRITWOOD MURDER
Three Men Are Thoueht to Have Com
mitted the Crime aud Arrests Are
Expected Soon-There Is No
Evidence Of Mob.

Hot Springs, Dec. 2S.-The inquiry
of the coroner's jury into the manner
and cause of the death of Oscar Chit
wood, the prisoner who, while mana
cled. was shot to death at the door Of
the county Jail early last Monday
morning, took rather unexpected
turn today. when the jury and prosecu-
tor went into secret session for the
purpose of examining the prisoners
confined IN Jail. Among the prisoners
are eight who are charged with murder,
one of whom has been found guilty of
second-degree murder, but who has
not yet received the sentence of the
court. All of these prisoners were
confined within few feet of where
Chitwood was shot to death, and most
of them were awakened when Deputy
Sheriff Rutherford come to take Chit
wood from the cell. 1t is the belief of
the prosecutor and jurors that the
prisoners can tell the exact manner of
Chitwood's death and the identity of
at least one of his murderers, if not
more of them.
Think Chitwood Knew His Slayers.
That the authorities firmly believe
that Chitwood called the name of one
or two of them and pleaded with them
not to kill him. but to allow him to
stand trial, has been brought out in
the examination of number of wit
nesses. AT the close of today's ses-
sion. Judge j. B. Wood, district prose-
cutor, declined to make public the
testimony of the prisoners, for the
reason that not all of them had been
examined.
The examination for the prisoners
indicated that the prosecuting attor-
ney is making determined effort to
fix the responsibility for Chitwood $

CAPTURE OF VAN buren,
Gen. R. G. Shaver Reported to Have
Stirred Up Lady by Shooting
Through House.

From the Fort Smith Times Record, Dec. %.
Today is the forty-eighth anniver-
sary of Blunt raid upon Van Buren,.
After the battle OF Prairie Grove, ear
lier in the month, Blunt fell back
toward Fayetteville, but afterward
again moved his troops southwark and
on the 9th and 18th made a forward
march southwark, striking Van Buren,
on the 9th. He first encountered
the Confederates at Dripping Springs,
and from that place to Van Buren,
there was running fight between his
advance guard of cavalry and the
Confederate cavalry under Colonel
Crump.
Van Buren, was entered without
difficulty, as most of the Confederate
troops were on this side of the river
some encamped on Mazzard Prairie,
and others at different points on the
river toward Little Rock. The only
fighting of any consequence around the
town was an exchange of shots be-
tween Blunt's guns and a battery be-
longing to Shaver brissasse, command
ed by Captain West. One fthe shots
of the Confederate battery passed
through house in Van Buren,.
Many years after the war General
r. G. Shaver visited Van Buren, and
called On the lady who lived in the
house at the time, but who at the
time of the fight was quite young.
She was still indignant over the bonn
bardment to which her house had been
subje ted and treated him cruelty.
The iooil of the Federal troops con-
sisted Il the ferry boat. then run by
mule-poSer. and three steamboats,,
the Key West, the Frederick Notrebe
and the Rose Douglas. all of which
they burned. They also captured

death and that he is leaving no stone
unturned to accomplish this end.
From the progress they are making, it
will probably take two or three days
yet to complete the inquest. 1t is
known that a number of witnesses

DR.. S. S. Martin testified that he had
thoroughly examined the ground
around the courthouse and leading
from the building. and found no evid-
dence of any body of men having visit
ed the yard during the early morning,
although slight rain had fallen dur
ing the earlier part of the night.
The inquest is now assuming definite
shape, and there is no longer any ques-
ton that the web of evidence is firm
ly closing about three men, who are
suspected of having perpetrated the
crime. 1t is expected that the identi-
ty of the suspected men will be made
known tomorrow and a sensation is
expected.

Clue Which May Mean Much.

The public session of the coroner's
jury today developed two or three
strong points. At the time Of the trag-
edy, a rope was found hanging over
the scaffold, from which Harry Poe
was hanged on September 2 last. with
in the enclosure in which Chitwood
was killed. c. J. Broughton. a re-
lative of the little girl whom Harry
Poe had assaulted, had requested
Sheriff jake Houpt, killed in the duel
with the Chitwoods, to allow him to
furnish the rope to hang Poe. and af-
forwards to secure it as a souvenir.
He purchased the rope and delivered
it to Sheriff Houpt. After being tested
is was found to be too small, end was
not used, but on the day of the exc
cution was thrown into a corner Of the
enclosure where Brougton last saw it.
Later he called at the sheriff's office to
secure the rope. but the officer was
absent. He said he recognized this
rope as the one found suspended over
scaffold at the time of Chitwood's kill
ing.
John Turner, saloon keeper, who
was the first to view Chitwood' S body
on the morning of the murder, testified
that Chitwood was in his shirt sleeves
and his coat was lying three or four
feet distant. Deputy Rutherford, who
was in charge of Chitwood, testified
that Chitwood had his coat on and was
handcuffed.

ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
