Fowler Leader: A detective by the name of Smith has been writing to Fowler for some time. He offered for the sum of 1500 to get the evidence that would convict the alleged murderers of James Kirtley. The latest offer is for less money. He now offers to do the triok for his expenses. The suicide theory was different from any of the things that most men see. Wn have seen perhaps a hundred hogs killed with the old fashioned squirrel rifle with a bullet about the size of a pea and we never saw one that did not drop instantly when hit in the bead with a bullet. But medical men say that it is possible. for a man to have fired three shots in the head as did Mr. Kirtley.
