George Jen kina forty years old. and j j William Gates, twenty-eight are In Jail. ; pending on investigation by Coroner ; Watts and the police authorities. The ocI cused are brothers-in-law. Early yesterday, with their wives, they left th* city for a day’s outing. They drove to th* farm of Richard Smelser, seven mile* southwest of this city, where, they remained until after thqy had partakan of their picnic dinner. They were in search of blackberries, and leaving the •Smelser place, they* went to th* form of William Herbert, a half mile northwest. They were ordered off by Mr. Herbert, and after a. few words they retired. Then they drove to the Meek farm, and entering the woods began searching for berries. The farmers have been much annoyed by trespaesera, who stripped their vineo. and Mr. Meek discovered the Intrusion, and ordered them away. It Is not known what passed between the Richmond men and Mr. Meek, but the latter followed them to the turnpike, to see that they went away.

According to his story, one of the men, supposed to be Gates, sprang out of his vehicle and struck Mr. Meek In the face. Whether the blow was delivered with his clenched fist or with some weapon. Mr. Herbert could not tell. Mr. Meek fell to the ground, after which Gates re-entered the vehicle, and the party drove away, but not until they discovered that Herbert was an eyewitness to the affray. Mr. Herbert ran to the prostrate man. and found that he was dead. By this time the Richmond tig was some distance away, but Mr. Herbert sounded an alarm, and the local police were communicated with by telephone. The entire party was arrested as they were driving Into a livery barn In West Richmond, and the men were placed In jail, while the women were taken to the Home for
the Friendless.

morning an autopsy was held.

Gates Admits the Blow. The preliminary hearing of the two men will be called befor* Mayor Zimmerman to-day, and the Indications are that Gates only will be charged with murder, although the prosecutor will wait until Coroner Watts has concluded his investigation. It Is now said that Gates admits striking Meek, but he claims that the blow was not meant to do serious injury, and that he had no Idea that Meek had been killed until arrested. The excitement that was so evident yesterday In the country near the Meek home has subsided, and the reports that mob violence might result appear to be without foundation. There Is considerable sympathy expressed for both men, though the act of Gates In striking Meek, who was feeble and almost childish in his actions. Is denounced in strong
terms.

Coroner Watts held an autopsy upon the body of Meek to-day, and found that death resulted from the bunting of an artery at the baa* of the brain, brought about by the blow dealt by Gates. The verdict will be in accordance.
