A. Smith is dead, Detective W. G. Dev- ereese is probably fatally injured, Al- bert Clarke is fatally hurt and Betsy Smith is dangerously shot as the re- sult of an attempt by Clarke to hold up Anna Wilson’s place on Ninth street. Clarke entered the Wilson place and at the point of a revolver com- manded the inmates to hold up their hands. A moment later he snatched a diamond necklace from the neck of the Wilson woman and escaped to the street. Betsy Smith followed him and Clarke fired a shot into her shoulder, inflicting a dangerous wound. Her screams brought Patrolman Smith to the scene and Clarke at once began shooting at 'him, firing two bullets into his body. Smith returned the fire, one bullet taking effect in Clarke’s leg, but he escaped to the Douglass street bridge across the Mis- souri river. The shooting, which occurred two blocks from the police station, brought a squad of police 'and the patrol to the scene. Smith was dead when they arrived. An hour later the robber was located on the bridge by Detec- tives Devercese and Heitfeldt. - As the officers came up to the robber he began firing, one bullet hitting Dev- ereese in the ‘stomach. Helitfeldt shot the robber twice in the stomach. The wounded officer and robber were hurried to the Emergency hos- pital, where the latter gave his'name as Albert Clarke and said he came from Denver three days ago. Physi- clans say Devereese may live, but that there is no ‘chance for Clarke’s re- covery. DEATH STOPS COURT TRIAL Witness 8eized by Sudden Stroke “Dies Few Moments Later. Mitchell, 8. D.
