ONE BURGLAR KILLED
Butler's Brave Defense of his
Employer's Property.
HE, HIMSELF, BADLY W00SDED
Phyalclans Unable to Tell Whether He
Will Kecover. or Not la Hla
Second Experience
San Francisco, Feb. 14. Frank J.
Miller, a butler in the house of J. L.
Franklin, at 2930 California Btreet, shot
and killed a burglar this morning an.d
was himself shot and wounded by a bur
glar. Three burglars were engaged in
an attempt to loot the house.
John A. Anderson, the dead burglar,
was left below to keep watch and the
other two went up Btairs. Miller, who
sleeps iu a small room in the basement,
heard Anderson moving about the kitch
en, and went after him with a pistol.
Anderson was also armed, and the men
commenced firing at each other, each
one firing four shots.
The noise of the shooting caused an
officer to rush to the house where he
found Miller unconscious and the burg
lar dead. Anderson was shot through
the temple, and bis dead body was found
lying on top of Miller. The . latter was
shot through the neck. The other two
burglars escaped.
Miller was too weak this morning to
give any account of the shooting, but he
said there were three burglars con
cerned. Miller and Anderson evidently had a
desperate struggle, as there was a great
deal of blood on the floor. The other
members of the household, were aroused
by the shooting, but by the time they
reached the lower part of the house it
was all over and they stumbled oyer the
two bodies on the floor.
Physicians were sent for at once, and
it was necessary to make a bed for Mil
ler just where he lay, as be was injured
too seriously to move around much. It
is supposed the other two burglars made
their escape while the shooting was in
progress.
One year ago a robbery was attempted
in the same house-, and the thieves, as
in the present case, were discovered and
driven off by Miller, but not until the
' latter had been kicked and beaten into
insensibility. It is believed this morn
ing's robbery was by the same persons,
as they showed great familiarity with
the premises, having cut the electric
light wires before beginning operations,
thus leaving the house in total ctark
ness. Anderson was afterwards identified by
the police. He was a native of Sweden
and a sailor, and had served a term in
San Quentin for burglary. In his
pockets were found newspapers clippings
referring to the street-car robbery at the
Ingleside race trace last December, and
it is believed he was concerned in that.
Miller remained practically uncon
scious all the morning, and it is not
known yet whether he will recover or
not. -
TEKBIBLB CHARGE.
Accused of Attempting to Assassinate
Hla Entire Family.
Chicago, Feb. 14. John Kochler is in
jail in this city, accused of attempting
to have an assassin kill his entire family.
The alleged plot, it is claimed, was frus
trated by three men. These are John
Meade, a miner in West Superior, Wis.,
a tramp by force of circumstances; Cap
tain Schuettler, of the Sheffield-avenue
police station, and John Baumer, of the
same station, who disguised himself as a
tramp, and, it is said, was hired to com
mit the murder.
Kochler broke down when arrested
and was so limp that officers had to
carry bim to a patrol wagon. He is an
Alsatian and has amassed a small fortune
in Chicago, where be has lived for 15
years. ' Four months ago be married
Mrs. Frederika Tubbecke, who had, be
sides a handsome face and form, a
four story brick house on Claybourne
avenue, from which she derived a snug

income by taking in boarders. Despite
these things, the widow brought suit for
$10,000 damages for breach of promise
before Kochler married her. The suit
was begun last summer. When at last
the ceremony was performed, the wife, it
is said, had the whip-hand and enfoced,
as a condition of the union, that in
case of the death of either the combined
property should revert to the survivor.
The affections of the couple began to
cool soon after marraige, and it was not
a month before quarrels were frequent.
Three young children of the wife by her
first husband were the cause of many of
the difficulties. The many deputies fin
ally led to a separation, and then the
plot to murder the woman and the
children followed.
