THE KILLING
Of TACOMAN

After a grilling third degree
examination I'm Seattle, Roy
Smith, alias Carl Dunn, negro
lad of 10, broke down and con-
fessed today to Detective william
Fackler Of the Tacoma police
force and Detective Tenant Of
Seattle that he had murdered Ar
thur H. Worden, janitor of the
Bryan school, June % last year.
The confession clears up mys-
terry that was one of the nbst
battling the local police have ever
had to deal with, and is the result
of unremitting work on the part
of Detective Fackler.
At the time of the murder
Smith was arrested and held on
suspicion, under the name of Rus
sell, but after being in custody
week was released for lack of
evidence. Recently, however,
Harry Carson, drug fiend con-
fined in the county Jail, volun-
tarily admitted that Smith had
given him the watch of the MUIR
dered man in exchange for three
dollars, and that he had had an
other man pawn it.
The watch was recovered by
Detective Fackler some time ago,
and he had been working busily
to get some clue to the murder
er's identity through it. The man
who is said to have pawned the
watch for Carson has heyer been
found.
Smith was arrested in Seattle
a couple of weeks ago by John
Warwick, special agent for the
Milwaukee railroad, charged
with stripping brass from an en-
CINE. When Carson stated that
he had received Worden's watch
from Smith, the latter was put
through the third degree.
The negro told the officers to-
day that he had attempted to
hold up Worden, and that a scuf-
file ensued, during which the gun
was discharged and the janitor
killed. He said that he had
bought his gun from Carson, who
appears to have been more or less
in cahoots with the negro.

RAMS WAGON
WITH POLES

Although the forward vestibule
of Seatle-bound limited train
of the Tacoma-Seattle interurban
was completely crushed In this
morning by a collision with q
wagon load of poles, the motor
man miraculously escaped in
jury by being thrust through the
glass doors to the interior of the
car. His clothing was torn and
cut slightly, but he was not even
scratched by glass.
= The accident occurred at Jo-
vita station. A rancher, with q
truck load of telephone poles,
was crossing the interurban
tracks and apparently stopped d.
rectly in front of the speeding
train. Poles were hurled in every
direction, but the driver Of the
wagon also escaped injury. The
accident occurred at. 8 o'clock and
the smashed interurban carswas
towed to Tacoma later.

that her two small children shall

This odd problem confronts
Judge Clifford of the superior
court today In an action brought
by the widow through Attorney
Shackleford. The widow has re-
married and removed from Ia
coma.
Mrs. Wallace brought suit for
divorce against her husband and
was granted decree on Novem-
Der z, 1910, after her husband
had signed up a contract giving
her $500 per month alimony. A
year after the divorce Wallace
died.
Wallace's estate was worth
$175, 900 at the time of his death,
and Is now worth about $685.
600. OF this he owns 14S shares
in the Fidelity Trust company, a
half interest in the Bonneville
hotel, and half interest in the
Aetna hotel.
The executors, represented by
Attorney Grosscup, declare that
the contract should be declared
void, as Mrs. Wallace is remar-
ried, and as 1t would be neces-
sary to dispose of real estate at
sacrificing prices In order to
raise cash for the monthly pay
ments. Judge Clifford will an
nounce his decision late this aft
ernoon.
