5S. I
WANT PROBE INTO
THE SMITH MURDER
Corontr'i Jury Recommends that
County Attorney Investigate
the Case.
NOTHING NEW IS DEVELOPED
A coroner'" Jury, after deliber
ating for a short period on the. evi
dence offered at an Inquest, returned
the rerdlct that "William Harry
Smith of Council Bluffs came to his
death about 10 p. m. the night of
October 16, near Thirty-first and
Dodge streets, Omaha, fcom a gun
ehot wound Inflicted by some un
known person, and owing to the
peculiar circumstances under which
the shooting occurred and the evi
dence offered, we recommend a more
thorough Investigation on the part of
the county attorney."
Nothing- developed In the testimony of
any of the witnesses that did more than
corroborate the story already rotated of
the crime.
Miss Grace Slater. 422 North Thirty
fourth street, told In few words that
he had known Smith for five years,
was employed In his department of the
Woodmen of the World and the details
of the holdup and shooting which re
sulted In Smith's death. She told how
with her mother she met Smith hy
chance at Blxteenth and Howard street",
and after tcavmg her mother she and
8mlth started to walk to her home; how
near Thirty-first and Dodge streets they
were confronted by a highwayman, who
flashed a light In their face and com
manded them to hold up their hands.
Smith did not comply and was shot
down, following which the bandit forced
her to accompany him on a long walk,
made Improper proposals and finally
after taking her purse gave her car fare
and she boarded a street car and went
home. She further asserted that as the
bandit was masked she noted only that
he had a prominent nose and his general
height, build and wearing apparel, and
further that unless she heard his voice
she would be unable to identify him.
Other witnesses who testified were .urs.
Frank Fogg, Miss lone Fogg and D. V.
Phelps, all living at 3116 Dodge street;
Mrs. Emma Solomon, living at Thirty
first and Dodge: F. L. Bushman, 3004
Farnam street; E. O. Callahan, a caller
at the Fogg residence the night of the
murder; Mrs. Nellie Slater, 43! North
Thirty-fourth street; the coroner's physi
cian and Detective Del Klch. None of
these witnesses offered any new evi
dence, but merely recited a repetition of
what has been said before. Detective
Klch, however, asserted that the police
re in possession of the picture of an
ex-convict, whom they are - confident Is
the man who shot Smith. Miss Slater as
serted she was certain that the mur
derer was no one whom she or Smith
knew or ever saw before.
Nebraska Hay Crop
Biggest in History
The Northwestern la laying plans to
ship out of Nebraska the largest wild
hay crop that has. ever been harvested
In the state. All through Rock, Brown
and portion of Cherry counties the val
leys are filled with stacks of the finest
quality of hay. Up In that portion of the
state the heavy rains ceased Just before
the late haying season set in and since
then the weather has been perfect for
cutting and curing hay. As a result the
country along the Northwestern' Black
Hills line has more hay to sell than ever
before.
The Northwestern is pushing large
numbers of cars Into the stations In the
hay district, where tbey are being loaded
lor Chicago and the markets to the east
and south. All through the country large
a umbers of hay baling outfits are at
work.

WESTERFIELD PAYS
LAST OFJHORTAGE
Former Treasurer of Dundee Turni
Over Final Installment to the
City of Omaha.
BUTLEB PREPARES A REPORT
Ellery II. Westerfleld, former
treasurer of Dundee and one of the
"trail-hitters" at the Tabernacle, has
paid into the city treasury $2,132.37,
being the last Installment of the
shortage reported by the city depart
ment of accounts and finances.
An expert accountant, engaged by
Mr. Westerfield, went over the ac
counts and confirmed the city's fig
ures In every particular.
The original amount of the shortage
retorted by the -lty was $20,948.81, but
subsequent checking increased that total
to the extent of t5.832.37, making the
total shortage paid in by Mr. Wester
field I26.7SL18, which settles the account
in full.
The total of cash and securities turned
over by Mr. Westerfield Is I156.409.21.
When the former treasurer paid In
$30,044.71 on July 30 to apply on the
shortage he . held to the belief that the
first shortage reported by the city would
be found to "be excessive, whereas It de
veloped that the deeper the matter was
probed the greater became the shortage.
City Commissioner Butler has prepared
his final report, which will be submitted
to the city council next week.
