The Portland daily press., 1879-08-25
The business office Of the Chronicle was

street was running as usual guarded by a
strong detachment. No demonstration what
ever was made during the evening.
At ten o'clock Kallochs condition was better
than might have been expected, and his ply
sicians were hopeful of favorable recovery. A
thorough examination has not been made and
the bullet il. his breast not yet found. The
physicians say they can't give decided
opinion in the case for "a hours.
The Alta reporter interviewed the De
Young brothers. Charles declined to make
any statements except that the reports already
published were in the main correct. A. I'll. De
Young, in answer to q remark OF the reporter
that it was bad state OF affairs, rephed II had
been expected "Kalloch,' he replied, might

after the Chronicle had rolled back the curtain
from his fathers history, an ola Maii no iad

"That was objectionable" replied DE
Young, "but i will say in justice to my protner
and myself that the statement came as de-
spatch from Boston. 1t arrived at ABOUT NAH
past one o'clock in the morning, when Doth my
editors scarcely read the matter as it came in.
but once published in the paper we determined
to stand by it without retraction NO matter
how excited the public is now they VIII take
a calmer view of the matter when they come
to reflect that my brother simply did what any
man would do who had q spark OF manhood
about him.
In answer to whether his brother desired to
be removed he said he did not for the present.
Shortly after midnight half OF the police
force were relieved from duty, the remainder
staying at the station, except about 80 detailed
to guard the Chronicle office and some other
points. The military also disbanded except
detail at each armory. The streets are quiet
and the crowd have gone home except several
hundred who still remain i'll front OF the sta
ton, and will probably stay all night.
On his way down from Vallejo Kearney was
interviewed by reporter He was at first
indisposed to expressed himself, wishing first
to consult with his party lawyers in San Fran
cisco, but finally partly unbosomed himself,
beginning by claiming that public opinion de-
manded De Young should be hung. He
did not wish to counsel violence until he could
get to the city and see who the men were that
were so much excited He was aware there
was always rough element hanging on the
edge of every great excitement that would
like to have row. but he wanted to see what
the good men of the party in San Francisco
had to say about the matter. He was in fact
decidedly non-commital as to whether he
would appeal to violence under any circum-
stances and was positive that De Young's as
sault was premeditated and stigmatiZed. it as
cowardly assassination. He also asserted that
the secret police were right on hand that De
Young fell into their hands and that Captain
Lees was at his back. Kearney had evidently
got into his head some idea limited at in one Of
the city papers that there was an unusual as
semblage of the detective force at the Central
station at the time De Young arrived there
and that the fact was significant for De Young
and Lees, captain of the detectives, had long
been intimate friends.
Though there is some disposition to take
view of the matter similar to that of Kearneys
yet there is nothing known to warrant it, The
Call tomorrow will have an editorial stigma
thing the whole course of the Chronicle to-
ward Kalloch as so gross that many who are
not bad citizens would uphold him in seeking
his assailant 1t says: "This affair serves as
o fruitful illustration of the general course of
the Chronicle. Fed by wealthy corporations
which feared its enemity or its bad schemes to
plumber people it held respectable public
opinion in contempt Probably no other COM
munity in America has been SO disgraced and
despoiled by public journal and this attack
uponKaloch and the subsequent attempt on his
life are in keeping with its policy of killing
where it can't control.
The Alta will urge moderate counsels on the
part of the workingmen, and touching the
course of the De Youngs will say: ''The
