PONDER SHOT DOWN IN COLD BLOOD IN DISCHARGE OF DUTY. L. Steinau’s Liquor House Was the Scene of the Dastardly Crime. Three Men Indicted. Monday night at ten minutes past 6 o’clock ißoliccman J. T. J. Ponder was shot and killed by a thief and tin assassin. The cold-blooded mutder of the officer while he was on duty, the early hour of the evening anti the fact that it occurred direct ly opposite the union depot, in the very center of the city, makes the tragedy one of the most startling sensations that has occurred in Atlant:: hi several years. The killing oe'-urred in th" wholesale liquor house of T.ouis Steinau, at No. 41 Wall street, which had been closed by the sheriff Just after the murder there was the wild est exeitem nt in the neighborhood of tlm scene where tlm terrible crime had been committed, and S'tisa.tlon after sensation followed the tragedy so rapidly that the excitement for a while rose to fever heat. I'lio noise <■; the shooting, the discovery of the dying officer and very soon after wards-eight arrests are intermix'd with n number of offiv rs and detectives seeking Io ferret out the perpetrators of the murder. How Officer Ponder Was Killed. Just how the officer was killed can only be .surmised by the facts as htive so fur been gathered about the tragedy. Sotn - live or ten minutes before the shooting, a man lug the front of th" wholesale store saw cither one er two men in th" store ami apparently at work in the small otlice which is partitioned off from the i main body of the store. Passing along the I same way, < UUc'-r Ponder must have seen . the men in the office. He was at tiie time , station'd on th" Wall street beat by the union ilepot. Knowing that the wholesale house of Louis Steinau had been closed by the sheriff in the morning, and that no one had any Imsim-.-s in tbit'" working, he ptob.abiy tried the front de.or, and finding it open, walk' d in. Then followed a chase and the shooting. Those who were in the store for no lawful purpose doubtless ran to (he back of the store, having opened the roar doors for the purpose of hasty Hight if discovered. The. brav ■ oflic-r followed .after the fleeing men and was fired upon. Springing out of the door one of the thi'-ves, knowing that he was In the dirk, | till'! that h - was to be pursued and proba bly run down, turned amt fif'd the fatal I shot and then escaped In tlm darkness. When th< ball struck him Bonder went back toward the front of the store, and : fe'-ling tl at his life's bl "id was ebbing I i'W.-i.v. hastened to seek the uld of those who were the near.-st to him. In live minutes, or less time than that, after he was .- ho' he was dead. i Hi fore tlm life left his body tho Grady ■ hospital ambulanee was telephoned for, ■ but when it arrived the offiecr h. d breath ' i-d his last. An im poi :i - 'it "I' the : tore by the offlci rs ■ resulted in the finding of a .--i-r< wdrlver. a. hammer ami :i Imtn-h of keys. The key i had a number upon an insurance tag, ami I by th' -e keys the ofli '-r< .it onee d. ■ id"l th'-y could locate, the murderer. Tlm keys I were picked up n.-ar the bark door, til'd . th" othicr articles were found on the 1 desk in the front office.
