SUSPECT
j
Arrested for Murder of
Louis. Borgus.
The only new development In the mur-
aer ease of Louis Borgus Is the arrest of
another negro suspect.
Nothing is known of the new prisoner
- st least to outsiders, as he la held in
communlcado by the police. They will
vouchsafe no information regarding the
suspect.
Chief McLauchlan in speaking of the
ease this- morning, said:
"In Gladlssee, brought In by Detective
Bnow yesterday. I. thtrik we have the
light man. Of course the evidence
against him is purely circumstantial, but
It is very strong. He has many move
ments to account for before he can con
vlnce ns that he Is not the man who kill'
,ea Borgus, I am not, in a position to
sa what evidence "we have, but you can
rest assured that it is strong."
The Coroner held an Inquest on the
body. of Borgus yesterday, but bo new
facts , were brought, out.
All .the testimony could not be taken
as a very material witness was missing,
so the Inquest was continued until late
this afternoon when Gladlssee will prob
ably be put oa the stand.1

WILLIAMS' LIFE
WAS-THREATENED
As the trial of James Williams for the
murder of 'Cockney' George, Hicks, at
tha Lynch boardtag-hoase in this city.
Mar 11 last, proceeds In the State Cir
cuit Court today, it becomes evident from
the nature of the testimony of the wit
nesses for the state which had up to
noon only been examined, that the Jury
Is confronted with a grave and uncertain
question as to whether Williams fired,
the fatal shot In self-defense or with pre
meditation, .".'"
The position of the gun, and the fact
that the deceased and Williams had been
fighting, coupled with the 'threats Hicks
made against Williams' life, point to the
former verdict.
Robert Carl Nelson, who was present
at the time of the fatal shooting, and
who acted as peacemaker between the
two men, gave some Important testi
mony.' He was the state's witness. .
The fact that "Cockney" George came
into the hotel In the evening and became
Involved In a quarrel and fight with Wil
liams, because he was refused a sec
ond supper, is generally admitted. Nel
son says the two men scrapped around
the room, knocking over ' tables and
chairs, ..Intermittently, for half an hour.
No sooner would he get the men apart
for a moment's peace than the trouble
would break out anew.
"Cockney" George was particularly
abusive to Williams, and called him all
manner of names and made - threats
against his life. Nelson says Hicks
avowed he would "knife" and' "chop"
Williams; that he made a rush toward
the kitchen and said "I'll kill you," etc
Nelson then succeeded In getting Wil
liams off Into a side room. A few mo
ments later he reappeared, and as Hicks
came from the opposite door, ' he was
heard 1o say to Williams, "You can't
bluff me," and at the same time mads
a .movement toward Williams. At this
moment the fatal shot was fired.
Nelson was facing Hicks at this time,
and is certain that the murdered man
had no weapons in his hands.
The cVse of Arthur Pollard, manager of
the Juvenile Opera Company, came up in
the Police Court this morning. The de
fendant was charged with assault and
battery upon a boy named Long.
Upon being called upon be '. pleaded
guilty, but in extenuation of his techni
cal violation of the law, said that tfte
boy he was accused of assaulting was
abusing his daughter and that he kicked
him. The boy was In no way injured,
and Judge Cameron Imposed the mini
mum fine of $10. '
