Negro Killed by Policeman.
Wichita, Kan., June 8. - Patrolman Sutton, of the metropolitan police force, shot Henry Aikens, a negro, five time at an early hour yesterday morning, killing him. He was trying to arrest Aikens for living with a white woman. The negroes are greatly excited and held a meeting, at which they decided to employ counsel to assist the county attorney before the coroner's jury, as they claim the officer was not justified in shooting Aikens. There were conflicting stories about the shooting and the inquest is not ended. The officer has not been arrested.
