The grand 'double net" at the Vnudovillo last week las boon placed in an entirely now light > y subsequent testimony and facts > rought out by the prolonged sitting of , ho coronor'o jury , which was impaneled mmcdiatoly after the slaughter and con- inucd in session tip to a late hour to- ; ay. The original impression that the ? hompson-Pishor killing was the result f a private dilliculty between the de ceased parties , based on the utterances of the numerous frightened witnesses and disgruntled variety women , has been erased by the statement that THOMPSON AND F1SIIKK WK1IE FUIENDS wont to the variety hall as friends , and drank as friends , and remained together as friends up to the time of their taking oir. Sifting the moss of testimony given jy a largo number of witnesses , consequent quent on the crowded condition of the juilding at the time , the following wore the relations of the parties most inter ested : Billy Simms , manager of the Vau deville , was sworn , and deposed that he was upstairs when Thompson came up. The latter spoke to him , and they shook fiands. Thompson told him to sit down : that ho did not want to hurt him. The conversation was turned to the killing ol Jack Harris , and Bon Thompson said he never wanted to kill Jack Harris , and , pointing to Joe Foster , said : "That ii the of a I WANTUUTO KILL. " After some further talk the party rose to go down to the bar , when Bon stepped pod at the door , and walking up to FOB tor offered him his hand. The latter refused - fused to shako hands , and Thompson remarked < marked that ho had plenty of friends and if any efforts were made to hurt hin ho ( Simms ) would bo killed. The troubli grow worse until the firmer , commenced and Simms thinks that if Coy had nol grabbed and hold Bon's pistol novoral inoro would have boon killed. Coy hole the pistol downward. CBN KK1T FIIIINO and trying to release it. One of th < shots shattered Foster's leg , and anothoi grazed Coy's right leg below the knee Ho thinks Fisher would havp partici pated in the shooting , but his pistol hac slipped behind him , and ho received hi death wound before he could got it fron its scabbard. J. S. Coy , being sworn , deposed : " am a special policeman on duty at tin Vaudeville theater. Was on duty then last night , when 1 saw Ben Thompson King Fisher and another man como inb the bar down stairs. I was standing wit ! Mr. Simms bntwoon the bar and th theater entrance. Mr. Simms called m ; attention to Thompson and Fisher , am asked if I know them. I replied that did , and ho then said ho was AFUAIU 'THEUK WOULD BE TUOUIJLK , and warned mo to bo very careful , told him that I would , and that I had al ready notified the chief marshal , an asked more protection. The men ( Irani and then went up stairs. I told Casanc vas to go up , and ho followed them , then told Officers Karber and Hughe that Fisher was bad on a pistol , and tha my instructions were to let none but cit olliccra go into the theater with weapon ! They told mo that Fisher had a right t wear ono , as ho was a deputy sheriff , went up stairs , and took a seat by Thomf son. Fisher was on the other side Thompson called Fisher and told him t toll Billy Simms to como hero. Simn : came , and after shaking hands , sat ( low beside Thompson. As ho did so , Fishe rose and took a Boat opposite. Ho the ollercd to treat , and asked the party whi they would have. Orders were given f ( two cigars , ono beer , and a whisky an seltzer. After drinking , the conversatic turned on THE KILLINM OK TACK 1IAUUIK , but so lw I couldn't understand win was said. Soon Fisher remarked t Thompson : 'Mr. Thompson , I thougl wo wore ijoing to have some fun ; don talk about past times. ' Thompson r plied : 'Don't bo uneasy , wo will have noon. ' King Fisher then roao and nail 'Well , lot's go down stairs. ' The par ! then rose and started toward the uoo Fisher and I in front , Thompson an Simms behind , Whim wo reached tl door Thompson turned and asked : 'Bill ; ain't ' that .loo Foster ? ' Simms told hi it was , and went to Foster , who cau and joined the parly. Thompson aske him to take a drink. Foster ropliix 'Yon know , Ben , I would not drink Thompson then said something aboi shaking hands , which I did not undo stand. Foster told him ho DID .SCT WANT TO HIIAKK HAN1M with him , as ho ( Thompson ) has mi treated him. At this tune Thompsoi Simins , and myself were standing side b side. Fisher WHH behind Thompson , an Foster facing Thompson. Ben Thomj BOH said , ' 0 d d n you ! J am glad yo won't drink nor shako hands with mo 1 requested him to behave , and 1 ; ordered mo to got out of his way , aayinj 'Lot mo settle this matter with Foster I again asked him to bo quiet , and tel him if ho wanted anything to do wit Foster to go somewhere else , for I woul prevent him there. Ho replied : 'Oi out ot my way , " and called Foster thief and a of a , and slapped hi : with his left hand , IWAWINO JII8 J'HTOL with his right. I jumped and grabbc the pistol on the cylinder and it tired , asked him to desist. Ho told mo to tui the pistol loose J held on and ho su 'G d d n JMU ! turn my pistol loom _ Wo scuttled from the door to the corno Wo all three fell , Fisher in the middle , held on to his pistol all the time of tl shooting. When ho full Thompson r leusud his pistol. I afterward turned over to Capt. Shardoin. Did not see who had pistols. Did not sco Fisher draw his pistol' Joe Foster , shot through the log , was unable to testify. The limb was ampu tated. Ho Wtl.t , I'KOlUltl.Y DIB The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of death from pistol wounds indicted by the hands of William Simms , .lacob Coy and .loo Foster , and tliat the killing was justifiable homicide. Thobaro testimony adduced and the seemingly lifolcsa method of procedure give to the affair a' ' very ugly look. From the well-known character of the murdered men , their previous deeds , und their expressed pur pose of creating an excitement , these predicates and deductions can bo had. Thompson has had the city of Austin under his thumb , and possessed a world wide reputation as a man-killer. II o had frequently TIIUKATKNKD TO TAKK SAN ANTONIO. The San Antonio police wore deter mined ho should not. His desperate fer ocity when roused , fearless disregard of his own and other's lives , and fatal pro- llcioncy in the use of the revolver , were too well known to fail in noting as a sol emn warning to the employes of a house whoso former owner had been butchered some months ngo. From the moment of his ontor.inco to the death scene ho was a doomed man. His personal bravoiy was horuclean , and his caution equaled his courago. He and his game companion were crowded down by police and theater employes and IIUTUHKIU'.I ) l.IKK STUCK IMHS. It is the only way in which ho could have boon killed. Ho had thirteen au thenticated deaths to his scoro. Fisher was the younger man , but the greater desperado , llo was originally from Goliad county , and his baptismal name was John Kim ; . His murders were in numerable. IIo was for years the cap tain of the celebrated Brooton gang , and in every town on the llio Grande his name was a synonym for fear. AUSTIN , Tex. , March 18. The remains of Bon Thompson , killed at San Antonio last night , reached hero and were buried by the Knights of Pythias. Thompson loaves a wife and two children , and property valued at § 10,000. SHAHON'H SHAMIO. Hill Still TulkiiiK Ait Ev-Gover- nor mill His "i'ot Stuffed Olub. " SAN FH NOISCO , March 20. In the Sharon divorce case to-day , Miss Hill , the plaintiff , resumed her testimony. She denied that she had instructed Ncilson , her attorney , to have Sharon arrested for adultery. Ho did it on his own respon sibility ; never stole the Belcher mine papers from Sharon's room. Barnes , counso1 for the defendant , said ho could provo she had stolen thorn. A letter faom or-Govornor Roichort , of Wiscon sin , dated Belpit , Wis. , March 25 , 1883 , to the plaintiff , was introduced by the defense , in which lloichart says : "Wo have boon waiting patiently for those cards. If the honorable senator docsuol como to time pretty soon , send for mo , and I will bring along my pot stuflod clul and end the business. " The plaintiff continued that she believed that lloich art always thought she was Sharon's wife , but she never told him about the secrol marriage. After the trouble between her self and Sharon , she sent two different persons to the latter , telling him that i 1 ho would permit her to obtain a divorce she would never again trouble him , bu Sharon refused.
