The murdered man was Harry .1. Reckas, a saloon keeper, who Geary encountered in a saloon in the stockyards district after Reckas had identified two men who had swindled him. Geary entered the saloou in an Intoxicated condition, and, confronting Reckas, asked him “who he was ‘looking for?” "I’m not looking for any one,” replied Reckas. Without another word, Geary whipped out a gun and shot Reckas in the right side. He died a few hours later. Then Geary calmly strolled out of the saloon whistling.
