REVENGE
CAUSED SHOOTING
Police Fail to Find Clews to
Trace Slayer of Car
Conductor.

Police and detectives found no new
developments Tuesday In the mysterious
assassination OF. Ben Gibson, young
street car conductor who was shot Sun
day night as he boarded his car at
Florida street and Y. & NJ. N. v. rail-
ing.
The general theory around police
headquarters is that none OF the three
negroes who were passengers on the
car, W Of whom were wounded by
bullets fired by Motorman NJ. W.
Booker, did the shooting.
Booker told Joe Burney, chief of po-
lice, that when Gibson fell at his feet,
mortally. wounded. he thought at first
the conductor possibly had shot him
self. Booker explained thatNhe picked
up the pistol and broke II to zee II a
cartridge had been exploded. Then see
ing the three negroes crouched to the
car floor. he believed they had killed
his comrade and he began shooting at
them.
He wounded seriously Wood Towns
and Ell Stackhouse, now held with the
third negro, in Jail awaiting an investi-
cation. Both negroes say that when
they heard the shots fired from the
street at the side OF the al they flat
safety.
Gibson is said to have had a contro-
versy with several negroes the night
before he vas killed. The negroes had
persisted in crowding past the Jim
Grow line, according to a report re-
ceived by the police and when they
were ready to get off, Gibson Is said
to have made them leave BY the rear
platform over their protests.
Knowing that Gibson always left the
car at the railroad crossing to flag the
crossing, 1t is argued at police head
quarters that some OF the negroes pos
sibly waited in the darkness to get
Gibson. as some Of them are said to
have mumbled on leaving the car.
There was not a trace Of any more
mob Tuesday night, and since the last
dispensing Of a gang OF men at the
county prison early Monday, no open
