The members of that com Alderman John powers of the Nineteenth Ward Is, perhaps, one of the most unfortunate men In Chicago. Only a few days ago, in his inauguration speech as President of the Cook County Democratic club, he told how wicked and designing persons had conspired to conduct sundry games of chance in the rooms over and under his saloon at 170 Madison street, and thus cast obloquy on his name to such an extentthat the grand jury had indicted him for conducting a gaming house.

A young man in shirt sleeves opened the dumb waiter, took out a slip of paper and gave it to one of the men at the Woodlawn avenue.

From this we conclude Hunt was waiting for Ray and met him when the shooting took place." For an hour before the shooting Hunt had been seen around the corner of Sixty-third street and Woodlawn avenue.

Smithwick, 730 West Twenty-scond street, al30 witnessed the affair. He is the foreman directing the work on a flat building being erected In Sixty-second street, near Woodlawn He had just stopped work and was ready to go home when he heard the shots.

He ran to the spot and found Smith leaning against the patrol box, while a crowd was gathering on the lawn at Kimbark avenue. He helped Smith into the patrol wagon and told the police what he knew of the Mrs. A. F. Miner, 6239 Monroe avenue, and Mrs.

R. Wilcox, 6201 Woodlawn avenue, both say they saw the shooting, but were so excited that they could give no clear statement to the police. Robert Mack, a grocery boy at 6300 Madison avenue, says he was on Woodlawn avenue and witnessed the shooting. He corroborates, the story told by the other witnesses, Smith a Popular Young Man. William Ray Smith is 28 years old and for five years has bet-n a Deputy Sheriff.

For two years he has been assigned as bailiff In Judge Horton's court. He is a great favorite with the jurist, in whose family he at one time lived. Edward M. Hunt was about 40 years old and for several years had been quite prominent in Hyde Park politics. He was formerly employed as a switchman by the Illinois Central railroad company, and later was a member of the old Hyde Park police force.

When Sheriff Pease was elected Hunt secured an appointment as a Deputy Sheriff, which position he held until a year ago, when he eloped with Kitty Kaiser, who lived with her parents at Fifty-seventh street and Wabash avenue. He deserted his wife and two children at the time and was discharged by Sheriff Pease. Soon after his wife procured a divorce and with her two children Is now living at the Park Gate Hotel. Ten days ago Hunt and Kitty Kaiser were married, but the police were unable to learn last night where they had been living. It was while on his trip to New Orleans with the Kaiser girl that Hunt pawned his diamonds and jewelry.

Upon his return he asked Smith to redeem the property and keep it until he Hunt vas able to repay him. He had not; paid Smith and the latter refused to deliver over the property.
