Smith fired two ahyta at Them Son, which were answered liy ,rie shot by Thomson, instantly killing the man. A coroner's Jury at Echo last night exonerated Thomson of any blame for the killing and declared that k waa done in self defense. The Jury, called by Coroner J. T. Brown, consisted of Frank Spike. J. Frank Spinning. Wil liam Nixon, George Coppinger, H. C. Branstetter and Isaac Gobbell. Dep uty District Attorney C. Z. Randall also attended.

The men were agreed on a peaceable arrest but Smith, looking up to see Thomson approaching, grab-, bed his revolver and shot. Just as he fired his second shot, Thomson rireil his rifle. The bullet strtick tha fugitive above the eVe and shattered his skull. The men were not more than 40 feet apart, Mr. Randall said today.

No trace of any relatives had been found last night in looking through his papers. His body was taken in charge by tha coroner and turned over to the un dertaker at Echo for burial.
