WALTZ PLACED UNDER ARREST It! Denies Having Shot I. onion, but Says lie Knows Who Did--Evidence Heard Before tlio Coroner's Jury, 'i'lii! Verdict That Mas Itolimiud. Wall, lias Been Lodged in the County .lull 'tit .Montrosu--Tlu (Sriuiil Jury Will I'robu Into Case. Developments of yesterday Indicate that Jabe? Lemon, of Forest City, did not commit suicide, but was foilllv murdered. John Waltz, who lived with hint, was yesterday placed under arrest to answer the charge of having murdered Waltz. Lemon was over 00 years of ago and conducted n pool room In the Hlgglns building on Depot alley, Forest City. He lived In apartments In the rear of the pool room, which he shared with Waltz. Early Sunday morning the lat ter notified the neighbors that Lemon had committed suicide. He said that during the night he heard a sharp, cracking sound which awakened him. Healing no further noise he acaln fell asleep, supposing that a bottle of soft drink In the pool room had exploded. When he awakened again he found Lemon dead, siting bolt upright In a chair with a revolver lying at his feet and a bullet hole In ills forehead. A Jury was empanelled by Justice of the Pence D. It. Brenian, which viewed the 1-emnlns and adourned until Mon day at 2 p. in. Considerable testimony was heard then and ut fi o'clock the jury udjourned until 7 p. m., when fur ther testimony was heard. RESULT OF INQUEST. Tho result of the Inquest was a most startling one. From the evidence giv en the jurors were convinced that Lemon did not take his own life, nnd brought In a verdict to the effect that he met his death by some unknown hand and recommended that Waltz be arrested to await further developments of the case. There were no powder marks on the face and the fact that Lemon was un able to move on account of sickness caused a little suspicion. The doctor who attended him pre vious to his death claims that he could not live but a few days, his condition being so critical. Waltz made a state ment some time ago that Lemon had willed his business to him when the end of life came. All these Incidents were the cause of suspicion, hence Un close examination of the witnesses. One witness testified that he heard a quarrel ill the pool room previous to the shooting. Another stated that lie posi tively heard Lemon beg AYnltz not to hurt him. Other witnesses produced evidence equally as startling. AYultz swore that he called his land lord, William Hlgglns, at I a. m. on Sunday, but Mr. Hlgglns testified that it was at S a. in. When the veidlct was given AVnltz was Immediately placed under arrest. Ollicer Ledyard accompanied him to the lockup, and on the way down Main street the prisoner told the ollicer that he did not shoot Lemon, but lie knew who did It. He made the same statement yester day morning while at breakfast In t li Davis house to Mrs. J. R. Davis, nnd mentioned the name of the person who did It. He wept when he departed for Montrose and lepeatedly proclaimed To"Prss Counterfeit Bills On U5 '." his Innocence. He will bo taken before the grand jury at Montrose, where the mysteries of the case will be further Investigated. It Is the general opinion that Mr. Lemon was shot while in the chair In which lie slept. He was too weak to go to bed. .ANSWER TO GANNON'S SUIT. Another .Hove in the Now ruinous ttjectment Suit. Mary Kiel, through her attorney, C. It. Pitcher,' yesterday made answer to tho declaration in the proceedings for a new trial for James Gannon, tin- man who has been in the county jail since June, IS'JI, for contempt of court. Gannon's attorneys, I. 11. Hums and Richard llusted, Jr., on January 8, last asked for-a new trial on the grounds that the verdict was rendered through fraud, accident or mistake. The trial was brought under the form of an amicable ejectment with conditioned verdict. It came to Gannon's attorney's ear recent ly that this form of proceeding was udopted at their i-eques t. Such was not the case, they say, and they now be lieve they should be given a new trial under the usual form of u common law ejectment and without any agreement as to conditional verdict. In the answer of Mrs. Ttlel It Is set forth that Gannon's attorneys did openly and unreservedly aaree to the form of procedure which was followed and that a new trial was refused once before on an application based on the same grounds as the present one. The principal object of Gannon's at torneys at present Is to secure his re lease from jail. Ho will never obey Un order of court, which refusal keeps him In Jail, and the present proceedings are as much as anything to give him his freedom without compromising Gan non or the court.
