HIS NERVOUS FOOT
 GAVE HIM AWAY
Richard Smith Stole $9, Was Proving His Innocence When the Case Took Sudden Turn and His
 Guilt Was Established.

After being arrested yesterday morning on a charge of petit larceny, it being alleged that he stole $2 from a matchbox on a mantle at the home of John Shaw, where he had his abode, Richard Smith, a negro, was thoroughly convincing District Attor- ney Nixon, Magistrate Frazier and other court attaches of his innocence, when his nervous foot gave him away.
 Smith was arrested at the instance of ShaW's wife. She said that Shaw had placed two s1 bills in a match box before leaving home, with in structions that she pay the house rent during the day. Smith was still at the house and later, when he went to get a match he found the bills. He could not resist aprropriating them to his own use and later when the Shaw woman went there to get them, they were gone, of course. She suspected Smith and his arrest followed.
 After being taken to the magis- trate's room, he denied emphatically that he got the money. He asked the officers to search him and they found a cent piece in his pocket-that's all. He told of his being a hard working "nigger" and declared his honesty strongly. Finally, while being ques- toned, the negro moved his foot about SO nervously that Deputy Con- stable Robert Johnson and others
