Council Bluffs, Ia., Feb. 12.—Char- les Booher, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney from Savannah, Mo., ar- rived here Tuesday evening and until midnight was closeted with Mynard Shoemaker, alias Ed. Smith, and Chief Albro. Shoemaker went over hisstatement made in writing and told the same story. He was cross-examined and questioned on minute portions of his statement. He then narrated his story to @ stenographer, and swore to it before a notary. It was mid- night when the trio emerged from the private effice. This morning Mr. Booher was seen by a reporter just as He was about to take his departure. He said Smith’s story was plausible, but parts of it raised a doubt. The strongest part of the state- ment was the description of the man who did the shooting, and some mat- ters which the Plattsburg authori- ties had investigated and corrobo- rated. Mr. Booher was asked whom the description fitted, but he declined to answer, He said that Smith would be a wit- ness for the prosecution of February 24. After Beoher’s departure Albro stated that the Misso cers seemed doubtful as to Smith’s story. Smith was seen to-night at his home and asked to furnish the de- scription of the man, but said hehad For Infants and Children.
