KILLING PROMPTED BY
VENGEANCE, is BELIEF
Robert Smith Of Charlottesville,
Mo-, Shot and Skull
Crushed.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. July 27.-Ven-
geance. the police believe. prompted
the killing of Robert Smith. an engi-
,neer, of Carruthersyille. Mo-. whose
body was found in an isolated section
near this city today. his skull crushed
and several bullet wounds in his body
Smith had been sought In connection
with the killing of Gus C. Padgett
and John Pante. who were shot to
death several days ago aboard a
launch en- route to this city with
Smith, 1t is alleged. and their bodies
thrown into the Mississippi river.
Their bodies were later recovered and
q search begun for Smith.
1t is the theory of the police that
certain men came upon Smith while
he was making his way to this city
in advancsof the officers posses and
lured him to the sparsely populated
section, where he was shot and club
bed to death.
Smith was widely known along the
Mississippi river and is said to have

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
WEST OF CHATEAU THIERRY. June
.l3.-Under the shade trees along the
roadside outside of the few scattered
houses which once had been known as
La Vote du Chatel. half dozen hos
pital orderlies were sorting a miscel-
ianeous collection which the dead and
" ounded had left behind-ammunftion
belts. towels, blankets and all the
strange things which may be in SOL
dier's pockets. souvenir postal cards,
mirrors, letters, note books. half
empty packs Of cigarettes. knives and
such. This was where the helpless
of the days and nights of fighting
west Of Chateau Thierry had been
lifted into the automobiles after the
stretcher bearers had carried them or
they had made their way from the
front.
One Of the orderIies was holding a
plain white envelope In his fingers
which lacked all mark of identifca-

ton Evidently it had slipped from

owner passed on. The envelope was
worn and perspiration stained as IL 1t
had been carried many weeks In a
Locket where it could often be looked
at.
On the outside was penciled mega

of quiet home scenes. taken before the
soldier boy came to France-a tousel-
headed urchin in knickerbockers. a
girl. two dogs. the three horses on the
farm. the father with the family buck
board and some chums. Possibly the
originals had never seen the results
of the happy day of snapshotting. and
certainly they had little thought the
films would ever be picked up on this
roadside where the shells still were
falling.
Take them along: we can't tell
to whom they belong, and il you print
them in the papers perhaps somebody

MALVY IN OWN Behalf
CITES AMERICAN CASE
Charged With Slackness in Dealing
With Suspects, He Points to
Treatment of Mime. Hoppe.

PARIS. July 27.-Witnesses testify
ing today at the trial of Louis Malvy,
former minister of the interior. on
the charge of treason. declared that
NJ. Malvy had shown slackness in
dealing with suspected foreigners
living in Paris.
In response. NJ. Malvy gave instances
to prove that the prefecture and the
detective services had acted ener-
getically in this respect. The former
minister cited especially the case of
Mime. Hoppe, an American woman. re-
garding whose case Jules Cambon. he
declared. had transmitted a sharp
protest from Ambassador Sharp.
A Paris dispatch on March Z. 1915
during the period of NJ. Malvy's ad-
ministratfon,. announced the arrest Of
a Nine. Hoppe for conducting an al
legged correspondence with a German
off1cer. then under treatment in a
Paris military hospital.
The woman, who was sent to a con-
centration camp, was. however. de-
clared to be of German nationality
There was no suggestion that the
case had any American connections.
