SHOT HIS FORMER PARTNER
Lawyer Jeffrey Brings a Partnership
Quarrel to n Tragic End.
LODGED A BULLET IN RICH'S ' SIDE
Jcirrcy Had Scoured n HestrnlnlnR Order
1'rom the Court nnd Shot Iticli When
tlio Paper \Vns Ser\cit
Story of the Case.
The squabble between the partners In the
law Htm of Jeffrey &Ulcb nearly resulted In
a tragedy ut 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Jeffrey fired ono shot from a revolver nt
hts former partner , the bullet passing through
the right forcnrm , breaking ono ot the bones
nnd Inflicting n slight llcsh wound In hts
right sldo. Jeffrey wns nbout to flro n second
time when ho was solzo't ' and disarmed ,
'Iho shooting occurred In the ofllco of the
llrm In room 23 , United States 'National
bank building. Deputy Sheriff John T.
Dally entered the ofllco Just bolero 1 o'clock ,
accompanied by Jeffrey nnd n temporary
restraining order which enjoined HIch from
preventing Jeffrey from Interfering in the
llrm business or getting at the books.
The oDlecr served the order on Mr. Utoh
and then some convocation followed between
the two attorneys , after which Jeffrey drew
u revolver nnd fired.
Senrs Miw the Trouble.
Mr. L. Soars , who Is "rending law with Mr.
Hlcb , wns In the next room at the timo. llis
statement Is that niter Dally had served
the restraining order ho heard
Hlcb tell Jeffrey that ho didn't want to talk
with him , and If ho had any butincss to do
with him ho would prefer to deal wltti hlsnt-
tornov. Then Hlch cam& out Into the room
where Soars was Hitting. Ho wont back
again after a minute ana immediately Scars
hoard the report of n revolver. Ho rushed
to Iho door und mot Hlcb , who was staggering
out with his right arm hanging belploss
nnd his loft bnud prossuil against his side.
Jeffrey was close behind with hts still smok-
Ini ; revolver leveled at Hich's back.
Sours did not hesitate a moment , but pran-
plcd with the Infuriated man , Alter a short
tussle ho succeeded In grasping the barrel of
the revolver nnd Jeffrey , who wns beginning
to realize what ho had done , gave himself
up. Daily then IOOK charge of the prisoner
and loft , saying that ho would have him
locked up.
Mr. Hlch was taken into the next room
and a physician called. The broken arm
was bandaued und the lujurod man wns soon
resting easily.
Air. Ulch could not give any reason for the
murderous assault of his former parluor. Ho
said that Jeffrey drew his revolver nnd fired
without warning and evidently on the nn-
pulse of a sudden and uncontrollable anger.
Hul nut Oimrrcled.
There had boon no words passed that
would Indicate any intention of a deadly
character.
"Jeffrey has boon very quiet for a day or
two , " ho said. "Wo thought ho was
up to something ; but could not unaglno what
It was.Vd rather expected though that his
sehemn was to hold the warrant that ho had
had Issued in police court for my nrrost for
assault over our lieads and thought that that
would blutf us into acceding to his demands. "
Joltrey Itcfoscit to Talk.
Deputy Sheriff Daily took Jeffrey to the
shonff's'oftlce , where ho was detained until
County Attorney Muhonoy could draw up (
warrant churning shooting with intent to
commit murder. The prisoner was then
turned over to Detectives Dempsey and Sav
age nnd taken to the city jail.
Attorney Cobb , who represents Jeffrey ,
started at once on a hunt , for Judge Borka , lu
order to got the ball tixcd.
Jeffrey was uskcd nbout the case , but very
politely declined to thlU.He apologized for
not giving information , but said that Mr.
Couu would make all statements necessary to
bo made public at this time. Ho declined to
talk on any suojoct , but lit u cigar and
loaned Dick In his chair to catch a breeze
that blew through the open window ot the
chief's ofllco. Ho made a facetious
lemur K nbout Cobb increasing In
weight during the hot weather ,
but nt the snm\ time sosmed rather nervous
and ill at enso The odor of liquor was por-
ccpliblo on his iVeatb , but he did not seem
to bo undec.Ua iniiucnco to nny extent. Ho
asked to bo allowed to go with Cobb to see
Judge Berlin , but the request was denied.
Origin of tlio Trouble.
The trouble haiivcon the partners was
made public Tuesday nnd resulted from the
notion of Mr. Hlch In declaring the partner
ship dissolved and that the busi
ness would thereafter bo con
ducted by himself. Ulch stated that
Jeffrey had been neglecting business forever
over a year nnd had overdrawn the firm's
account to the amount of $1,700. Jeffrey
claimed that it was n scheme
on tbo part of Kich to
dofraud.hlm. Jeffrey went to the ofllco to
tell Uich what ho thought of him and iho
latter threw him downstairs , on account
of which Jetfroy caused his arrest for
assault und battery nnd the case was sot for
ibis morning In police court.
Hud Uot Into Court.
It Is more than probable that a suit which
was filed in the district court yesterday
morning had something to do with the shoot-
tug affray.
At an early hour the attorney for Jeffrey
filed a petition in the district court ,
together with n restraining order
Issued by Judco Scott , enjoining Kicn from
interfering with the llrm property , collecting
the firm debts or using the firm name , Jof-
frov & Utch.
The petition by Jeffrey recites that
the plaintiff has been n resident of
Omaha nnd a practicing attorney for
many years ; that during that
time be has built tin a largo
and profitable practice , having clients In
Omubn , Chicago and Now York. This heavers
avers was accomplished by lionosty nnd close
application to business. On November 1 ,
IbUO , the plaintiff alleges that ho toolc Kich
into partnership and that the firm was known
us Jeffrey & Rich nnd was to continue for
Iho period of Ion years. With this
agreement Jeffrey convoyed to Kich a one-
half Interest in his law library , valued at
fl.UUO. Soon after the firm begun business
the plaintiff charges that Kich neglected his
duties and would take frequent trips abroad
without giving any information regarding
bis movements or Intentions.
ICieh'H I'ronosed 1'lvanuro Trip.
On July 0 the defendant , without confer
ring with the plaintiff , started on a trip to
Kuropo , Informing the public that Iw wns
going to look after the firm's business , when
In fact It was simply a pleasure trip.
When the plaintiff learned of this bo tolo-
eruphed the defendant at Now York to moot
htm In Chicago on July ID , stating
that such n trip at this season ot the jeur
would bo detrimental to the firm's business.
The plaintiff wont to Chicago but failed to
meet the defendant , after which ho returned
to Omaha. Upon reaching this city on found
the defendant In possession of the olllco.
Ho also found that Klcti had unlaw
fully dissolved the lirrn , taking such
parts and parcels of the firm property aiid
(
business as best suited his own Ideas.
Wuu Asauultuil by Itlvh ,
The plaintiff alleges that ho tried to roach
a peaceable settlomeot of the dimculty , uut
that ho was assaulted , bruised and beaten by
the defendant.
Aftar that , the plaintiff nvers that Kich
said that ho would kill the plalutlfl if mat-
tors were not adjusted in compliance to his
wishes.
Queer Acttonoof the Upputr Sheriff1.
The action , or rtuhor the failure to net , of
the deputy sherrlffi whllo the shooting WAS
going on Is sovercWicrltlcisoci " by Mr. Kich
and his clerk , Mr.1" Soars , who wcro present
when the shootingoccurred. . In ( peaking of
the matter last evening , Mr Scars ssld that
In the fiwt plaooiho had boon reluctant to
filvotho true facts in the cnso because ho
thought that Dull by was rattled nud did not
know what ho WAS doing , but the more ho
thought of it the more ho was Inclined to
think that the .oOlcor bad acted In a very
peculiar manner.
"Just before the shooting occurred , " Mr.
Sears continued , . "Jeffrey sat In n chnlr by
the desk in the Inner olllco. Dnlley sat In
another chnlr nt his right nnd close to him.
Mr , Kich wns standing , leaning on the desk
In front of Jeffrey , nnd I rould sou him
plainly from whore 1 stood. Jeffrey stood up ,
kicked hU chat" back with his foot , took
his revolver from ' his pockJt nna
coolly cocked It and leveled It at Mr.
Kich. Dalloy did not make n move to
provml him , although ho wns in roach of
his outstretched hand. Mr. Kich turned to
pa out ot the door and Jeffrey flrod. 1
grappled with him and it wns not until after
I hud turned him back that Dalloy made nny
effort to stop iho trouble.
Dalloy Know llo Was Armril.
"Mr. Kich afterwards nskod Dnlley if ho
know that Jeffrey hud a revolver when they
cutnu In. "
" 'Yes , ' replied Dalloy , ' 1 know ho had it In
his pocket. '
" Thou why didn't you take It away from
him1 ! "
" 'Why , t didn't know but you had ono ,
too. ' was iho officer's answer. "
Mr. Kich and Mr. Bears sav that they nro
willing to go Into court nnd make the ahovo
statements under ontb.
The doctor says Mr. Kich will bo able to
attend to business \vltbtn H day or two.
Jeffrey was charged with attomoted mur
der , and wns released on ball in the sum of
SJ.500.
