The Other Side of the Hough Murder.
The Ilyanniu Tribune of the 20th
iuht. criticises aur report of the
shooting affray at HyanniH recent
ly , in which VVm. Hough , of this
city , wan ki led , and gives what the
Tribune olairutt to bo the facts in
the case. The Tribune claims that
Fred Mofiit , who is night cleik at
the hotel DC Fair , slept during the
day and did not arise on the dny of
the tragedy until flvo or six o'clock
p. m. , that he was behind the oflico
counter reading when Hough came
out of the wash room , He , after
standing by the alovo a few min
utes , seized an iron poker and
struck at Moult across the 03tin tor ,
at the same time saying to Molh't ,
"I have got you now , you S h" .
lie further slates that the hotel
register bean * evidence of the blow
Mofiit would have received had he
not dodged. Mo flit , knowing that
hisjifc had boon threatened by
Hough at different times , draw a
revolver from a drawer under the
oounttr aud shot at his anuailaul ,
following it with a second shot on
hie way to the outer door where ho
escaped , not knowing that ho had
hit his assailant. " The Tribune
further says :
"Hough had an old grudge again
st Moffit for some real or fancied
wrong while Aloffit was living at
Whitman , and he camn to Hyannis
about a year ago to avoid having
trouble with Hough. During the
afternoon proceeding the shooting
Hough had gone to the hotel several
timcHand as is DOW believed he wan
looking for trouble with Mofiit.
The coroner's inquest over the body
of Mr. Hough was held late in the
evening after the tragedy and re
mains wore turned over to his sup
posed friends , but they failed to sit
up with the corpse during the balance
of the night , which was .done by
citizens of HyanniH ; if Mr. Hough's
body was not prepared for buri
al at the time it was because his
friends insisted that ho bo left as ho
was and have his remains prepared
for burial at Broken Bow , where
they were shipped Sunday night.
The verdict of the coroner's inquest
which the RKPUIIUOAX'H informant
failed to make note of was substan
tially that Hough was shot in self
defence , and at the preliminary
hearing of Mofiit which was hold
April Mtli , the Judge held that from
the evidence Mr , Moflit had com
mitted no crime under the statutes. "
