JOE O'DWYER
On Trial for the Murder of T. P.
Whitehead-The Crime as Related
by Witnesses Was Deliberate

uation for the Murder.
February 81.

February 81.
Joe O'Owyer is about 20 years of
|age. He is we'll connected. By his
act he has entailed indescribable
misery On his parents, and he has
shrouded a good wife and her chill
dren in the gloom of death.
His fate is in the decision of
these twelve men as jurors: w. P
Nicholson, ]. w. Dunn, w. C. Nelson,
D. C. McClanahan, w. J. Lawton,
Tom K. Jordan, N. N. Houston, John
Rogers, l. H. Teat, w. B. Bell,
Graves Johnson and H. Hogg.
The evidence as disclosed and as
summarized is that on the afternoon
of August 20 of last year, Joe
O'Dwyer was talking to some men
at the corner of Walnut street. AS
Mrs. White, a daughter of T. P.
Whitehead, and her sister, not yet
in her teens, was pushing a buggy
in which was her baby, the girl in
advertently brushed Joe O'Dwyer,
who resentfully struck at her and
knocked off her hat. The girl re-
torted by making faces at him and
called him "a poor white trash.'
O'Dwyer ran 10 the girl and
slapped her face, knocked her down,
which caused her nose to bleed.

A CATASTROPHE.
Collapse of Part of Roof at the
Power House of Shreveport Light
Plant-TWO Fatalities and Nine
Injured - Remarkable Escapes.
Damage About $4,000. O.


When at about 3 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon there was a sudden
stop of all kinds Of machinery pro-
PEELED by the electric power and of
all the lights furnished by the
Shreveport Gas, Electric Light and
Power Company, no one realized
that disaster had occurred at the
power plant of the company.
At first, to inquiries, came the re-
ports of fire, of an explosion, and
finally that the roof at the power
plant had collapsed On the giving
away of the wall on which part of
the roof rested.
! The fire department responded to
: an alarm, and at the scene of the
disaster rendered the most ef1icien:
service in rescuing the unfortunate
Workmen, all negroes, buried under
the debris, who were hurried to the
North Louisiana Sanitarium.
In this relief of the unfortunates
were DR.. M. F. Smith, DR.. V. Sum-
mus and DR.. Bodenheimer, who
regardless of the imminent dan
ger of a threatening wall, held
their posts at the very seat of the
! disaster, ministering to the suffer-
| ings of the victims as they were
carried from the ruins.
The disaster can scarcely be de-
scribed, nor can the cause be de-
,finitely determined until the cause
shall be made evident at an official
inquiry.
One of the workmen, Henry Jack
son, a negro who barely escaped,
assigns as cause in brief is to
faulty construction and the ineffl-
Iciency of the support Of the roof,
partly of steel, and covers an area
of probably a hundred or more feet
of space.
Another opinion is that the sup
port to the tile roof and its steel
truss supporters was insufficient,
and the collapse occurred when an
adjustment was being made. The
collapse came with a crash. On the
roof were a number of workmen
who escaped. In the interior there
were others who are uninjured, and
among these is Craig Bellows, who
had charge of the brick work on the
walls and who was reported to have
been in the debris.
The unfortunates are Dan Petit
way, who died from a fracture of
the skull after he had reached the
North Louisiana Sanitarium.
The seriously injured are Andrew
Bolton, Joe CARAT and Harper Jen-
kins, who are at the North Louisiana
Sanitarium doing well.
The slightly injured are Hilliard
Thornton, Alex High, John Tampa,
Robert Jones, M. D. Miles and Lee
Nelson, who have been discharged
from the sanitarium.
Soon after this disaster the work
Of rehabilitation was begun by
clearing the wreckage and by prop
ping the wall and the roof which
was partially in collapse. In di-
recting this work was Manager Cur
It's, who had been on business in
Vivian and was informed of the &C
cident as he reached the depot.
In this extremity assistance was
given by the Traction Company,
which enabled the Journal to go to
press after 7 o'clock, and was re-
joicing to the Times, to the moving
picture shows and to a large num-
Der of the populace who were as
Jones when the light was out.
The regular service by the
Shreveport Gas, Electric Light and
Power Company was resumed dur
ing the night to the qualification of
all the people.
