Daily entered the oftice just before 1 o’clock, accompanied by Jeffrey and a temporary restrainiuz order which enjolned Rich from preventing Jeffrey from interfering in the firm business or getting at the books. The officer served the ordor on Mr. Rich and then some conversation followed between the two attorneys, after which Jeffrey drew u revolver and fired. Sears Saw the Trouble, Mr. L. Sea who is reading law with Mr. Rich, was in the next room av the time. His statement is that after Daily had served the restraining oraer he heard Rich tell Jeffrey that he didn’t want to talk with him, and if he had aoy butiness to do with him he would prefer to deal with his at- torney. Then Rich came out into the room where Sears was sitting. He went back again after a minute ana immeaiately Sears hoard the report of a revolver. He rusned 10 the door and met Rich,who was staggering out with his right arm haoging belpicss and his left hand pressed against his side. Joffrey was close benind with his still smok- ing revolver leveled at Rich’s back. Sears did not hesitate a moment, but grap- pled with the infuriated man, After a short tusslo he succeeded in grasping the barrel of the revolver and Jeffrey, who was beginning to realize what he had done, gave himself up. Daily then took charge of tho prisoner aund left, saying that he would have him locked up. Mr. Rich was taken into the next room and a physician cailed. The broken arm was bandaged und tho injured man was soon resting easily. Mr. Rich could not give any reason for the murderous assault of his former vartuer. He said that Jeffrey drew his revolver and fired without warning and evidently on the im- pulse of a sudden and uncontrollabie anger. ad not Quarreled. Thero had been no words passed that would indicate any iutention of a deadly churacter. “Jeffrey has been very quiet for a day or two,” he said. We thought he was up o something but could not_1magine what ivwas.

The prisoner was then turned over to Detectives Dempsey and Sav- age and taken to the city jail.
