* Under Arrest
Charged With Murder Of Alf
Bagley, A Victim Of Assas
sin in Long Feud.
* Walnut Ridge, Oct. 19—Dr. J.
C. Hughes was arrested today on
indictment charging first de
gree murder in connection with
the death of Alf Bagley, and
his father, I. J. Bagley, both of
v whom were shot and killed on
the street in Walnut Ridge, Oc
tober 22, 1910.
The indictments returned to
day are said to be the result of
investigations made recently by
five Pinkerton detectives em
ployed to investigate the mur
der of J. S. Crook, a well-known
real estate man, who was killed
in September. The detectives
worked on the theory that a ma
jority of the many mysterious
murders committed in this coun
ty in the past five years were the
results of a feud.
Other arrests are expected to
morrow.
It is said a feud was started
seven years ago during the trial
of Alf Bagley, charged with kill
ing an officer. Dr. Hughes tes
tified at that trial that the offi
cer had been shot in the back.
Bagiev had pleaded self-defense.
FATHER AND SON KILLED.
Bagley was acquitted- Three
fc. years later—October 22, 1910—
he was shot from ambush while
riding through the streets in
Walnut Ridge. That same af
r ternoon 1. J. Bagley, while on
his way home, after buying
clothes in which to bury his
4 pvurdered son, was shot down.
Dr. Hughes is said to have ad
mitted to a coroner’s jury im
paneled to investigate the kill
ing of Alf Bagley that he was
4 resonsible for his death. The
j coroner’s jury exonerated the
■v physician an.d until recently the
grand jury took no action
4 No arrest was ever made for
the killing of the elder Bagley.
In 1911 John Bagley, a broth
er of Alf Bagiey, was shot from
a second story office window on
I a Walnut Ridge business street,
i The murder was never explain
ed.
Crook, who was killed last
I month, is a son-in-law of the el
t der Bagley. He was shot
through the leg more than a
year ago, but recovered- Dr.
Hughes was arrested and fined
4- $200 for that shooting.
