THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, ' SATURDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1902. TWOSLAIN IN FRENZY Wall-Street Men Shot Down in Their Office. ASSAILAHTTHEN ENDS OWN LIFE Tragedy Dae to Qaarrel Over Short age in Acceaats MBrderer Brings Money to Settle, bat Ckaagrea 3iia4 RHd Begins Skootlag. NEW YORK, Oct. 17. Using a new au tomatic magazine pistol, William C. Tur ner, ex-president and treasurer of-the Climar Bottling Company, "today shot and killed W. J. Millard, secretary and treasurer of the company, and Robert Hamilton, its president, and then "killed himself -with the same -weapon. A sec ond revolver, loaded In every chamber. -was found in Turner s pocket, ana it is believed he had planned to take more lives than he did. The shooting was caused by a quarrel between the three men over an alleged shortage in Turner's accounts, for which lie was threatened with criminal prosecution. The tragedy occurred In the offices of the law Arm of Cantor, Adams-& Mclntyre, In the heart of the Wall-street district, during the busy noon hour. -. Turner, who was 45 years of age, and lived at Mount Vernon, N. Y., a suburb of this city, was a cousin of Governor Odell, of this state. The head of the law firm In whose offices the shooting oc curred is President Cantor, of- the Bor ough of Manhattan. Soon after the shots rang out In the office building, a wild ru mor was started that the Borough Pres ident had been killed. All of the principals in the tragedy were married. Mallard was 36 years of age, a native of Atlanta, Qa., where he was well known in business and social circles. He "Was president of the Young Men's Demo cratic Club there. He had been In this city about four years, and lived with his wife and two children In an up-town fiat. Mr. Hamilton lived in Pittsburg, where he was president of several large glass factories. He was about 60 years of age; He arrived at New York yesterday In re sponse to a telegram from Turner, re ceived at Pittsburg, which said: "Meet me In New York Friday, and I will settle with you." Keqaest for Check Starts Shooting. The three men met In the law offices by appointment, to allow Turner to make a partial settlement, and he was asked for a certified check. "I 'have it," he said, and then he closed the dopr of the room. An instant later, he drew a revolver and began firing. Mallard fell, shot through the heart, and Hamilton, lived only a few minutes. A number of other persons who were In the room, clerks and members of the firm, fled In a panic After killing Hamilton and Mallard, Turner shot him self in the head. Some moments later, Hearing no more snot, the persons wno fled ventured back into the room, and found the three bodies.. Turner retired as president of the Climax Bottling Company last April, when he was bought out by Hamilton. amlning the books of the concern that there was a shortage of 55100'in Turner's accounts., The Climax Company engaged John F. Mclntyre, ex-assistant District Attorney, and M. Goodman, both of the firm in whose offices the shooting oc curred today, to effect a settlement with Turner, and he engaged Edgar Leven tritt to represent his interests. Some dif ficulty had been met with in the nego tiations which followed between the law yers, but It was finally agreed to accept 52700 and give Turner a release in fulL Last night, it was agreed that the settle ment should take place in the offices of Cantor, Adams '& Mclntyre today at 11 o'clock. liarryer Feared Turner. Before he left the conference last night. Turner -anxiously asked that Mclntyre be present at today's meeting, and Mclntyre has said since the shooting that he did not like Turner's manner yesterday, as the latter seemed, in his opinion, to bear himself recklessly and with the demeanor of a man who might do almost any des perate act. At the appointed hour today. Turner, with his lawyer, entered the law office. Mr. Goodman ushered Turner and his lawyer into the private office of Mr: Ad ams. Leventritt, it is said, told Turner to remain outside. Turner refused, say ing that he" wished to close the matter at jonce. Turner, Immediately after entering, asked for Mr. Mclntyre, and showed an ger when told he would not be at the conference. Negotiations for a settlement began at once, Messrs. Hamilton, Mallard, Good man and Adams being present, besides Turner and his attorney. The conference tt first .was in the firm's general offices, but later Mallard asked to "see Mr. Ad ams and Mr. Hamilton in Adams' pri vate office. Turner having refused certain propositions. While the conference in the private office was going on. Turner walked In. His lawyer asked him for his check to be used in the settlement, and Turner said: "Yes, I'll let you have it" Then Turner closed the door of the of fice. He was facing Mr. Mallard, who had asked him for the check. An Instant after he had shut the door he drew a re volver, and pointing it at Mallard, said: "I will kill you, you " , Wild Scramble to Leave Room. Then he fired two shots at Mallard, in stantly, there was a wild scramble on the part of the others in the room. All ex cept Hamilton dashed for the door, but Hamilton, when Turner fired, sprang at mm. Turner was too quick for him, however, and, dropping his weapon to a level with his victim s breast, fired. There Is no witness to what followed. Mr. "Leventrltt, at the first appearance of the revolver, rushed out of the room, leaving his hat behind him. Goodman followed "Leventrltt, and Adams jumped to his feet as soon as Mallard. was shot, brushed past Turner and. got out of the office. As they left the room more shots were heard. followed by two heavy falls. There was consternation in the office. Clerks, boys ana several women employes were for a lew minutes too frightened to do any thing. When persons connected with the law office ventured back into the room, .they iouna tne uiree bodies lying close to gether. On Turner's body was found an unsigned telegram, reading: "Telephone message received. Will ae cept J2700 either from Hamilton or Mai lard." un -.Turners corpse the Coroner also iouna a certinea cneck for $2700. The lat ter is regarded, as throwing a peculiar light on the case, for it Is believed to In dicate that Turner went to the offices with the probable Intention of paying the sum of money which was to have settled the difficult-. If he did intend to pay, it Is argued, he changed his mind suddenly and decided to kill. tritt, who was Turner's counsel in the affairs preceding the tragedy, and who was present In the room at the time the shooting began, made a statement tonight, in which he defended Turner against the charges that he was a defaulter. "Mr. Turner," he said, "was not a de faulter. He did not criminally misappro priate the funds of the Climax Bottle Company." According to "Leventrltt, Turner had originally put up $3000 in cash. His over drafts amounted to ?2SO0, leaving $2200, which remained as the value of his hold ings. Hamilton offered $2000 for Turner's share, which the latter accepted, and the deal was closed. Turner believed that this transaction relieved him of all con nection with the firm and closed all ac counts. Asked wrhy Turner had been pre vailed upon to agree to giving up a check for $2700 to settle with Hamilton and Mal loy, Leventrltt said: "Turner was influenced by the fact, as I am informed, that he was expecting a political appointment, which would be made impossible if the 'least hint of Ir regularity, however unfounded, should be made against him." The body of Turner tonight was taken to his late home at Mount V.ernon. STILIi NO 3IOLINEUX JURY. New Panel of 150 Talesmen. Issued to Secnre One Man. t NEW YORK. Oct. 17.

Wotman & King SPECIAL SALE Aftistic Cushion Tops Sitnatloa In New York Tenements Described by Charity Officers. New York Tribune. In response to constant inquiries as to the effect of the present coal stringency on the city's poor, a statement by Robert W. De Forest, president, and Edward T. Devine, general secretary, of the Charity Organization Society, was issued yester day in part as follows: The people in the tenements are now paying from 18 to 28 cents a pall for .an thracite coal when they can buy it at all. The pall varies in size, and its con tents in qualify. One of our agents last Winter weighed 12 pails of coal, bought from 12 different! dealers, and found that tljey averaged about 16 pounds each, and seldom exceeded 18 pounds. This was the net weight of the coaL At that time the pall sold, as a rule, for 10 cents in a few Instances at 8 cents so that, even in or dinary times, coal retails in the tenement houses at' over $12 a ton. The present price is practically prohibitive, even if the supply were not short. That is to say, a woman could not afford to buy it to do washing, or for any other purpose that would be subjected to a commercial test v The first substitute which naturally sug gests Itself is soft coal. This is now re; tailing at $8 a ton, at $4 25 a half ton. One dealer, who has been selling bitu minous coal freely for domestic purposes for over a month, insists that his cus tomers have had no special trouble with flues or grates. The use of gas is another possibility. The companies declare that they are pre pared to put in as many 25-cent slot me ters as may be demanded. Their use does not Involve any cash deposit. For cook ing and washing a stove with two burners can be bouerht for $1 50: with three burn ers for $2. If provided with an oven and four burners, the price Is '$6. The uso trt oil stores among the poor is very extensive, and the danger from -them Is probably much less than 13 ordinarily supposed. Such, accidents as nave oc curred have ordinarily been due to gross carelessness. There are thousands of them In constant use. For cooking and similar purposes they can be purchased at $2 75 to $3 50 with one burner, or with two burners for $5 75. A heater will cost $3 50 or $4 50. Oil is selling at present at retail at different prices In various parts of the city, in Harlem for 8 cents a gal lon, downtown on the East ana West Sides for 10 cents, and In Brooklyn for 12 cents. Another substitute which has not re ceived so much attention In the press as it has in practice in at least certain dis tricts is' wood. Many Italian families in the downtown districts never burn any other fuel. In Williamsburg the Polish employes of the sugar refineries have been getting their fuel free from the dumps for the last six weeks. Neither wood, nor oil, nor gas, nor soft coal Is a complete substitute for anthra cite. It Is a very great hardship for. those who are compelled to work hard ail day to be compelled to experiment with some form of fuel to which they are not accus tomed, and to which their stoves "are not adapted". Imagine a worklngwoman, who has several small children to care for, and who has been out to do a heavy washing, compelled to study the direc tions and to try the experiments involved In such a change! There are many who will succeed, but there are others who will put up with cold rooms and cold dishes before they will take this trouble; and If the present price -of coal Is maintained, a special relief fund to supply coal or some other fuel will certainly be neces sary as soon as the cold weather comes. Take a Bright View. New York Times. Professor George E. Woodberry. one of our wisest critics of literature, takes decidedly cheerful view of the present llterarv output In the United States. Our literature in the past was sentimental and romantic, but that has vanished now, and he consoles us and himself hy the re flection that while we are a romantic and sentimental Nation we are also a Nation of efficiency. Our immense "literary en ergies" have gone almost wholly Into pop ular education in its varied, lorms While thought, meditation, reflection, ex cept on political and social topics, does not flourish, he finds facile and varied tal ent In contemporary American literary craft. The "printed word" is "Impressive and of vast utility." The matter of prime interest is- "the news of the various world." These sentences, which we have taken almost bodily from Professor Wood berry's admirable article on "The Knlck-. erbocker Era of American Letters," In the October Harper's Magazine, are decided ly worth the earnest attention of certain fault-flndera They are much more sensi ble" and to the point than continual grumbling abcuit the low order of public taste. It is noble to do exalted things and. to make sacrifices In doing so, but it is folly to pause In the midst of the work and berate the public taste. TURNER'S T,A"VYrYER DEFENDS HIM. He Says the Murderer Did Not Misap propriate Company Faads. NEW YORK, Oct 17. Edgar N. Leven- Experiments on Eclipse of Moon. CHICAGO, Oct. 17. Professor George W. Hough, director of the Dearborn ob servatory at Northwestern University, made a series of experlements during the eclipse of the moon last night, to deter mine the .amount of light received by -the satellite while in total eclipse. For this purpose Professor Hough used an Instru ment of his own invention, the sensltom eter, with satisfactory results. In addi tion to this work a number of photo graphsof the different phases were taken. English Hop. Fields. Westminster Gazette. The wet and stormy . weather has wrought havoc in the hopflelds. Damage In such cases is difficult to compute, but tens of thousands of pounds are not like ly to compensate for the destruction caused. The plight of crowds of hopplck ers under such conditions as those now prevailing can ba imagined.

QUICK JUSTICE TO NEGRO TRIED, CONVICTED AND HANGED IN TWO HOURS. Texan Murderer Is Hounded to Last by Mob, bat Officers and Militia Are Firm. NACOGDOCHES, Tex.. Oct. 17.Jim Buchanan, colored, the murderer of the Hicks family, was tried here today, a plea of guilty was accepted by the Judge, and the negro was legally hanged within two hours after sentence had been passed. Buchanan was brought here under the protection of Ave companies of militia. Upon his arrival here, the negro was im mediately turned over to Sheriff Spradley, who told the people that, he would be given a quids trial. The town began to All rapidly, and the excitement was in tense. The telegraph wires were cut, the railroad tracks were torn up for a short distance, and it was announced that an attempt would be made to get possession of Buchanan. District Court was at once convened, a jury was impanelled without delay, and the negro's plea of guilty was accepted by the court. Tho Judge ordered that the death sentence be executed No vember 17, but many people announced that they would have no delay. Buchan an then waived the 30 days allowed him by law, and was hanged by Sheriff Sprad ley,. in the jail yard, in tho presence of a large crowd. Ten days ago the deadbodies of Farm er Hicks, his wife and daughter, were found in the Hicks home, and Sheriff Spradley began a search for the murderer. A. week, later Jim Buchanan was arrested and confessed to the murder. The news of the negro's confession spread rapidly, and a mob of several hundred people marched after the Sheriff and his depu ties, with the intention of securing posses sion of the negro and burning him at the stake. Sheriff Spradley and his deputies refused to give over the prisoner, and later they were Joined by Sheriff Bowers, of San Augustine County.' The two offi cers, through a ruse, finally succeeded In spiriting the negro away to the parish Jail at Shreveport. Buchanan was next taken to tne jail at Henderson, and a company of militia was ordered out to protect tho negro from violence. A mob formed, and It was feared a collision with the troops would result- in serious blood shed. Two more companies of militia were dispatched to Henderson, and today, when the negro came to this place, he was guarded by Ave companies of militia. CHEATS JUSTICE BY SUICIDE.

Fear of sentence, and also that her mother was planning to havener com mitted to an insane asylum, led to the suicide. She left a .most affectionate let ter to her mother, In which she said: "I will not consent to go to the asylum, as you arc evidently planning to have me go." Miss Craddock served three months in Blackwell's Island for circulating an ob jectionable book, and, upon her release, was prosecuted by the Federal author ities for sending the books through the malls.
