NAIL SLUGS USED
IN SHOOTING OF
NEGRO WOMAN

The shooting of Mrs. w. N. Craig,
colored employee of the Barbara
Worth hotel, while returning to her
home Friday night, has been investi-
gated by Marshal Rice, who finds that
her wound was caused by shot from
a .12-gauge gun.
Vester West, colored man, SO
years of age, was arrested, following
the shooting, by Officer Meyers, but
West framed up an alibi, which later
proved worthless. He charged Mrs.
Culberson, another colored woman.
with having done the shooting.
The actions of West were suspicious,
according to Marshal Rice, who
watched the man. He was seen COM
ing home at 4:3O a. m. Sunday, car
rying a coat and gun, and was ar
rested again.
The investigation of the Culberson
woman showed that the gun she had
was a .16-gauge, and the gun wads
picked up at the scene. of the shoot
ing were of .12-gauge. This proved
the innocence of the Culberson woman
and placed the guilt squarely up to
West. The gun he carried was .l2-
gauge.
Marshal Rice finds that the Craig
woman was shot with load of ten
penny nail slugs, cut with cold chis-
el, and it is evident that the inten-
ton was murder.
West denies any knowledge of the
shooting and says his gun and coat
were stolen from his house. However,
he is in the county Jail and will await
trial on a charge of assault to COM
nit murder. The reason he is in the
county Jail is that city Jail prisoners
are visited by men, who stand at
the windows and offer advice to those
incarcerated, detrimental to the inter
ests of the city police department,
says Marshal Rice.

WAR SUMMARY

A critical situation has devel-
Oped within the confines of the
dual monarchy of Austria The
press makes public avOwal mat
the Central Powers must be even
tually hopeless against their ad-
versaries. Gloom and despOn-
dency are manifest everywhere
throughout Austria.
The French forces have reached
the west band of the Avre river,
between Breaches and North
MOntdidier. The success of this
movement will be, a . menace to
General Won Hutier and Crown
. Prince Rupprecht, commanding
the German forces in that sector.
North of the Vesle river the
Germans were repulsed after in
tense efforts by them to dislOdee
the French. The Americans
crossed from the south bank of
the Vesle. The stabiliZatiOn of
the positions so taken was car
ried out.
Military critics agree that the
situation of the Germans is un-
tenable.
The long range bOmbardment
of Paris continues.
German guns have been active
northeast of Amiens, where they
threw gas shells on the British.
