CLEVER WORK OF DETECTIVE.
Great credit is due the Rock Island
police for their efficient work in clear
ing up one of the most battling mys-
teries which has ever confronted the
local authorities. With absolutely not
a clew to work upon, Detective Cox,
Detective Schnert, Officer Kell and
Chief Brinn unraveled the tangled
skein and apprehended the murderer.
When Detective Cox was called TO the
place where the body had been thrown.
he imm ediately came 10 the conclu-
sion that the killing had been done
elsewhere and the body carried to
The alley. He first talked to a woman
who lived nearby, but she stated she
had heard no shooting. The next per
/ son seen was Jim Porter, the murder
1 er, who came up to the body, as the
officers we're viewing it Porter was
questioned closely as TO any knowledge
Of the affair. but denied point blank
any connection with il or an acquaint-
ance with the circumstances which led
TO the killing.
| The negro appeared i'll at ease, how
ever, and his manner aroused sus-
picIon. The police asked him to as
sist them in the case, so as TO keep
an eye on him.
BLOOD on THE FLOOR.
The next point visited was the house
itself. Upon stepping over the thresh-
old from the rear, the first thing to
meet the officers gaze was the blood
stain where the Mexican had fallen.
It was evident that an attempt had
been made to remove the stains, but
this had been Intellectual. With the
place of the killing found, it was but
the work of a moment to place Porter,
the proprietor, under arrest. The three
women habitues of the house were also
captured a few blocks from the re.
sort and conveyed to the station.
The prisoners were taken into the
chiefs office, one by one, and put
through the third degree. 1t was but
the work of few moments to wiring
confessions from them all.
Porter claims he killed the Mexican
in self defense, but it is probable that
the state will insist upon an indict
ment for murder in the first degree.
. Porter was represented at the in
. quest by J. K. Scott. The negro was
not taken from the jail, and as is
the custom, was not placed upon the
, stand. The murderer's gun was found
, concealed in a trunk at the resort
while that of the Mexican was found
e in a deserted room of the house. Shells
: we're found in Domingues' pockets
| from which Rodgriuez had taken the
: weapon.
t Rafael Rivers, the other Mexican
= companion, was not present at the re
sort. He left his companions at {
2 Third avenue saloon about S o'clock.
= All Of the witnesses are being hell
, by the police.
