ous wound. Clark received a bullet in each
groin and In the abdomen.
Other officers heard tho firing and rushed
to the scene with, the patrol wagon and
both the wounded detective and the robber
murderer were taken as rapidly aa possible
to the Omaha General hospital.
Dr. Condon waa called to assist in attend
ing the wounded officer, while Clark's In
juries were also dressed.
Drs. Condon and Fitsglbbon, who hap
pened to be on hand, and Police Surgeons
Newell and Barbour worked for two hours
In an effort to locate the bullet that had
entered Detective Devereese's lung and
liver. They did not succeed, and another
operation will be undertaken later.
Clark, whose most serious wound Is In
the bowels. Is in the more dangeious con
dltlon of the two, while the detective's
chances for life are' said to be more than
even.
Doth. Old Officers.
Officer Smith was a comparatively young
man, but had been on the police force for
six years. lie leaves a wife and children.
His home is at North Twenty-ninth
street. His body was turned over to the
coroner shortly after his death.
The time for tM Inquest has not yet
been fixed, . and it probably will not be
held before Batutdaf morn ng, as the county
attorney ha adviaetl Corurjr lieafey to
take all th -time necessary. The prin
cipal witnesses In th inquest are, of course,
unable to ' leave the hospital now, and
time will b required ' for th police to
gather complete information in the case.
Coroner' fhyslclaa Dunn- made an exami
nation of th body Thursday morning.
A new home had recently been bought by
Patrolman Smith, tSOO yet remaining to
be paid on It. lie carried $1,000 worth
of insurance tn the .Woodmen of tho World,
and the widow will receive 1600 from the
Police Relief association. Smith belonged
to the Eagles and his fellow lodgemen
will probably help in tne funeral. The
police will have charge of th services and
escort the body to the grave.
Th funeral will probably be held Satur
day afternoon at the residence.
Detective Devereeae haa been on th force
for almost fourteen year. He I married
and ha three children. HI horn I at
230S Leavenworth street.
Chief Praise Smith.
Chief Donahue said Thursday morning:
"During th six years Officer Smith had
served on th force, charges had never been
preferred against him tor .any cause, and
he wa considered one of th best patrolman
on th fore. He .waa quiet, gentlemanly,
careful and of good habits, and w all
regTst fcl death," .
The estimate la which both men were
held by their companions oo th fore may
aummMl up , word. of Cftpl4Jll
Mostyn, who said last night; "They are
two of th beat man w had on th force."
Thar waa intense feeling at ths polio
station and amaog th tumbsri of th
force when It became known that en of
their number had been shot down In cold
blood. Discipline waa perfect and their
concern and anxiety took the form of a
determined effort to find the man who did
the work. There was no bungling or hesi
tancy as Captain Mostyn and Bergcant
Marshall gave the order which cast out
the dragnet and landed the man, though at
such heavy cost.
When the news of the second shooting
became known and the further fact that
the murderer had been caught there waa
mingled pain and relief.
It will be well, however, for suspicious
character to lie low for a time, for as
was remarked last night, "the shooting of
officers mokes the force savage."
Women Ideality Clark
George Clnrk has been Identified as the
man who killed Officer Smith by six
women who saw the shooting and then were
taken to the hospital to see him. Clark as
strta he shot at the officers on the bridge
because be thought they were holdup men,
but docs not talk much on the subject
A "murderous bluo eye" is given by the
police as the chief characteristics of Clark's
H.ppearance. He Is about five feet eight
Inches In height, weighs 100 pounds and Is
45 years of age. Ho has dark chestnut hair,
is smooth shaven and of medium complex
ion. He claims to be a cook by trade. An
anchor la tattooed on his right forearm.
The police believe that he will prove to
be an old-time criminal and are trying to
get a line on his supposed police record.
Thursday morning he was photographed
and measured according to the Bertlllon
system, and an effort will be made to find
out if he Is wanted In other cities for
crimes he may have committed.
Did Have Confederates.
It was thought Thursday morning that
perhaps Clark had a confederate who
escaped after the shooting. However,
this theory wa not given much credence
by the pollc. although residents on Ninth
streot, between Dodge and Douglas streets,
say they saw a man run south on that
street Immediately after the officer was
Bhot. Clark ran east down Dodge street,
o It was thought thnt the other mnn might
have been his partner.
He ate surpor at Townsend's lunch car
on lower Dodge street about 11 o'clock
Wednesday night and was seen by Detec
tive Ferris l.i a saloon at Sixteenth and
California streets earlier In the evening.
He had been drinking some, but was not
drunk.
A new hat worn by Clark offers food for
slight conjecture. It had hardly been worn
and bore the mark of a Sioux City store.
yet Clark says he came from Denver.
The locket which Clark grabbed from
the Wilson woman's neck has not been
found yet. Reports saying that he secured
a diamond necklace were false.
Two Other Sorh Trasxedles.
The death of "Patrolman Smith recalls
the cases of Detective Simon Drummy and
Patrolman Dan Tlederman, both of whom
met Blmllar fates at the hands of des
peradoes. Drummy was fatally shot In South
Omaha by a negro whom he was trying
to place under arrest. This happened last
February. Tlederman waa killed ten or
fifteen years ago under similar circum
stances. When Mrs. Drummy, widow of the de
tective, read of the murder of Patrolman
Smith In Thursday morning's paper, she
almost collapsed from thought of her own
bereavement.
. Black crepe decorates the main entrance
to the police station and the rooms and
desks on the lower floor. Black ribbons
will be worn under the badges of all po
licemen for thirty day. Thus will the
police department show outwardly the
deep sorrow and mourning that has been
occasioned by the death of .. their brother
officer. . , . ' .. '
