Did the Shooting.
WHAT A FORTUNE-TELLER TOLD
1t now looks az though the theory Of EN-
Detective Jim White, that Harry Baldwin
was shot in the alley alongside Of o. Hare's
marble yard, is about tue correct one. 1t
will be remembered that White, after ex-
amining the entire neighborhood the day
after the murder, came to the conclusion
that Baldwin had, on his way home, en-
tered the alley in great hurry, and that
while he was in a STOPPING position had
been shot. In, this alley was found the
valise of the deceased and also q four
barrcled pistol. 1t is supposed that after
lying in the alley short time Baldwin be-
came conscious to a certain extent and
wandered over to Elm street. where he was
found.
Suspicion now falls upon the private
watchmen, Doran and Hurtig and that the
shooting was done by Doran, who, probably
mistaking Baldwin in the alley for bur
gIar, blazed away at him. Several parties
now state that Doran was possessed OF
| four barreled pistol similar to that found in
the alley, although Doran d-nies ever own.
ing pistol at all One damaging bit of
evidence which will go hard againt the pri-
vate watchmen is that between four and
five o'clock of the morning the deceased
was found they stepped into the restaurant,
No. PSI Vine street (where they usually
get their supper) and Hurtig made the
remark that there had been man muir
dered, but said nothing more in regard to
the affair." Eow, bear in mind that ii was
not discovered at the Statlon-house until
after that time that Baldwin had been shot
Now, how did Doran and Hurtig become
possessed of the knowledge that there had
| been man murdered?
The testimony before the Coroner was re-
sumed this morning.
