GUN IS IDENTIFIED
IN HENRY KILLING
Weapon Found in Automo-
bile Compartment Definitely
Linked to Staying.

The sawed-off shotgun found in a
secret automobile compartment last
week was positively identified yester-
day as the weapon used to murder
"Milsie" Henry, Washington gambler
Earlier it had been learned that two
pistols found with it were shipped from
the manufacturer to st. Louis hard
ware store three months before the
Staying in April, 1882.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, supesin-
tendent of police, said the findings
strengthened the case against Charles
Harris, now serving life sentence in
Lewisburg Prison for the Henry mur-
der. The car in which the arsenal
was found was identified by witnesses
to the shooting as the one in which
Harris rode.
Establishment of the shotgun as the
murder weapon was made after bal
listics examination by Lieut.. John
Fowler. It was based on the mark left
in the cap of the shell by the firing
pin and by marks left on the shell by
the barrel.
At the time police found the car,
they also found some exploded shells
and it was with these the COMPARE
sons were made yesterday.
Maj. Brown also announced that
the pistols concealed with the shot
gun in the cleverly-arranged automo-
bile seat cache had been traced from
the Smith g. Wesson Co., manufac-
turers, to q st. Louis hardware store.
The date of shipment from the fac
tory was January 8, 1882, about 100
days before the murder.
Police say they are reasonably GER
tain Harris was aided on his expedi-
ton against Henry by Harry "Hofsie''
Davis, killed in Baltimore two years
later. Davis was suspected of hav-
ing been the driver of the death
car" but the evidence against him
was insufficient to implicate him def
nitely.

Ten deaths IN the District between

This was believed to be new record,

causes so far this year, that caused by
sulstroke. However, the Health De-

which statisticians say undoubtedly
we're the indirect result Of heat. There
has been no heat death here since

mef, there was but one death charged
to heat causes.
