At o'clock yesterday evening at Jules
Kfost's beer saloon, Nos. II and 10 st. Charles
street, while the military procession was pass
ing, the quick report Of a pistol attracted the
crowd standing In front Of the saloon, and
upon rushing into the saloon T.. J. Fornell
alias Buck Farrell, a police officer of the Fifth
Precinct, was found lying on the floor, appar-
entity dead, while behind the counter stood
Mr. Jules Krost with Tranter revolver In
his hand, which was still smoking
At first all was confusion. man was seen
to leap over the counter and seize the pistol
In the hands OF Krost, while at the same time
several voices cried out "KilI the Dutch 6. Il
of b-i He has killed our friendr'
These EXPLANATIONS had hardly died away
when police officer was seen In q ourner
with crowd around him, and at the same
time one Of the parties exclaimed Throw
up your hands, or You are q dead manr'
During these EXPLANATIONS and the excite
ment that was prevailing things were made
more disagreeable by beer-glasses that
seemed TO be flying h5out in every direction
When things had quieted down the reporter
went TO work to find out the cause Of the diffl-
Guilty. Buck Farrell had been shot, and by
Mr.. Jules Krost The man who was seen TO
jump across the counter was Capt. Zach
Bachemin. who wrenehed the pistol from Mr.
Krost and then made
HIM A PRISONER
AZ he was about to take him out Of the
saloon for the purpose OF taking him to the
station the crowd of roughs, who appeard 30
be Farrells friends, attempted to rescue the
prisoner from the cantain. Captain Baehe-
min. during the scuflle, had his pistol taken
from him he, however, regardless OF the ef-
forts to rescue the prisoner. got him out
through the rear OF the saloon and brought
him to the Central Station where he was
charged with shooting and wonndiug with in
tent TO commit murder
Tho officer who was In the corner was Cor
poral Danto. He had entered the saloon and
was about to go to the assistance OF Capt.
BaChemin when the crowd circled around
him, one of whom placed pistol at his head
and told him to throw up his hands and to
stand still or he was dead man. The cor
por8l. not being on duty. and being uoarIned,
had no other alternative but 10 submit.
Mr.. Krost, after firing the shot, returned
his pistol to It's place uAder the counter, but
when Capt. Bachenn leaped over the counter,
no not knowing whether he was friend or foa.
seized his pistol again and leveled 1t at him,
but which the captain promptly wrenched
out Of his hands.
From the facts Of this case 1t Is evident
that II was not an affnir OF the moment but u
premeditated and wel-planned scheme to
rob Mr. krost aud, If necessary, 10 kill him.
At the hour above stated q crowd OF ruff
fans, led by Buck Farrell and William
Clements, better known IA Brockey Clements,
entered the saloon and asked for drinks The
drinks were furnished and the crowd drank
them. After this they started towards the
door. Mr. Krost asked. "Whoi ID
GOING 10 PAY
for these drinksr' Buck Farrell replied,
"Charge them TO the Governor" Mr.. Krost
said, eve don't do that sort OF business
The cry was then raised. xiii the Dutch
s. OF b." With this remark several
glasses were hurled at Mr.. Krost, who drop
coming up he leveled 1t and fired The ball
struck Buck Farrell, who instantly dropped
TO the floor. THIN the cry came, "Kill bin
kill him He has killed our friend" The po-
lice then rushed In, for the purpose Of doing
their duty, but the rowdes assailed them, as
above stated.
After the accused had been taken to the
station quiet was restored and the police
then succeeded In arresting Clements and
locked him up in the Central Station. He Is
charged by Capt. Baehemin with assault and
battery with o dangerous weapon with intent
to kill; by Mr.. q. krost with assault and
battery with q beer glass, and by Aid b. A.
McDonogh with being drunk and disturbing
The peace
Corporal Graham stated that few hours
before the difficulty Mr.. Krost called on him
and stated that he had received Information
TO the effect that n gang was coming TO his
saloon that day for the purpose OF robblng
aud assaulting him. and asked him to detail
O man in his saloon.
The sergeant informed him that 1t was
very important day. and as his day force was
small that It would be impossible for him TO
detail an officer in his saloon, but That he
would instruct the officer on that beat to stay
about the saloon as much as possible.
The two men who were the whole cause Of
this affair, Clements and Farrell, are classed
rs dangerous men. In fact, Farrell Is wanted
in st. Mary parish for burglary, and tn
sheriff, Mr. Gordey, is now 10 the city with o
warrant Tor his arrest. Clements Is before
the Superior Criminal Court on n charge OF
stabbng O man at q ball some months ago.
The reporter reached the wounded man at
the Hospital and found him under the iDilu-
ence OF morphine, The physicians consider
his condition very critical.
Mr.. Krost was visited at the station, but
acting upon the advice OF his attorney-Mr.
Luzenberg declined to be interviewed.
