Bun. | The Jury Impaneled by Coroner Crlm
last evening hold nn Inquest over the remains
ot Mrs. Margaret Sperry this forenoon. The
facts In rotation to the commission ot the
crime brought out at the Inquest did not
differ materially from the story of the affair
tis related tn Tin : linn this morning. U. F.
Snydcr testified that bo wns about twenty-
flvo feet from thocouplo when the fatal shot
was 11 rod. Ho saw Pratt draw the revolver
nnd heard Iho woman exclaim , "For Uod's
sake don't shoot mo"1

the car stopped ho hoard the nolso of the re
port and aw thn woman lying on tliopround.
lie procured npalr of nippers winch were
placed on the murderer's wrists. Pratt was
then taken to the police station.
Mrs. M'IV Walters nnd Mabel Sperry ,
daughters of the deceased , testified as to the
facts of tbo shooting , tbolr recital not differ
ing from the general story.
Probably ttio most important testimony
adduced was that of Mrs. vV. W. Allen. She
noticed I'rattnttho corner of Twenty-lint
nnd 1C streets , three doors from the murdered
woman's residence , alC o'clock In the after
noon. Ho was evidently waiting for someone
ono and Hcanncd the people trotting out of the
strcot cars nl the corner closely. Ho walked
away shortly before supper time , but soon
retuincd nnd watched nnd waited until Mrs.
Sperry returned. The shooting occurred a
few moments nftcr her return.
At the conclusion of the testimony the Jury
retired long cnouch to prepare tbo verdict ,
which wns to the effect that Mrs. Sperry
came to her death by a wound Indicted by
Myron Pratt , nnd that the killing ; wns pro-
rncditutod.
Motive fur flio Crime.
No satisfactory motive for the crlmo has
yet been discovered. Asldo from bis brief
interview with Tun I3ni ; reporter lust night
Pratt bus preserved n spliinx-liko sllonco in
regard to the nllair , refusing to tali ; oven to
bis guards and the few acquaintances wtio
have called to see him. Ho Is closely
watched In his cell for fear that he may
ngnln attempt , suicide.
The murdered woman has been n , regular
Attendant nt tlio revival meetings In progress
in the Christian church and Tuesday evening -
ing united with thul church nnd was ban-
lisod. Her friends claim today that Pratt
was angered nt her announcement that t > bo
would have nothing more to do with him
nnd shot her while In a lit of passion. It Is
claimed that she asserted nt least three
weeks ago that she was "through with
Pratt. " The stories told by the friends of
both sides nro radically diflci-oiituml it is not
likely that the real motive for the shooting
will bo developed until Pratt is put on trial.

Arrangements for tbo entertainment of the

of the weather the court house was packed
to Us full capacity tonight to listen to nn ad
dress by ox-LloutcnruitUovcrnor Melklojohn ,
Riven under Iho the auspices ot tboTekaraah
Republican club. The speaker handled the
tarllt question In an able manner , giving n
comprehensive review of the United States
experience G.S n nation from which ho de
duced the logical conclusion that protective
tariff and free trade were impoitaut factors
lu the prosperity or adversity of the people.
Ho also dwelt at considerable length upon
the interest manifested by Kngllsh manufac
turers In the politics of this country with
reference to tbo tariff , including some of the
labors of Iho famous Cobden club in the dis
tribution of literature convoying Iho KtiRllsh
idea of what America should do to foster her
own industries.
Touching upon the currency , the speaker
took n decided stand against free coinage
nni ) Impressed very forcibly the fact that It
would banotlt the owners of silver bullion
only nnd that It uns not n question that
should divide tbo o.iU from the west , but ono
In which every farmer , laborer or mechanic
should Join in opposing n law that would
nmiio lit ponsiblo for a favored few to exchange -
change $3.60 In stiver for $5.00 lu gold whllo
the farmer nnd laborer must give an equal
vnluo for all they receive.
Ho admitted too advisability of Increasing
the circulation to some extent nnd favored
issuing to national banks lLo 1U per cent
hold in reserve on their deposit. Mr. Mclklo-
john then paid n plowing trlbutn to thn
ofllcicnt administration of President linrrl-
HOII , which brought foith storms of apptauso
from Ills audience , and when In connection
with reciprocity ho spoke of the illustrious
statesman , Jan.cs G. Ulalno , enthusiasm was
at Its climax.
At the close of the mooting the club elected
Charles T. Dlckcnson , ptcsldcnt ; John L.

ploto outllt of burglar's tools ho had over bo-
hold. Away scudded the oDlcors , bent upon

duizled their visions. A few moments
later they triumphantly returned with their
captives ana their countenances beamed with
extreme satisfaction. The kit of burglar's '
tools was examined und proved to bo nothing

the ttireo prisoners were upholsterers , bound
for Denver and hnd chartered that "sldo
