SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-The city 7erv
quiet to-day. Last nights tragedy is fre-
quent1y discussed in groups or casual gather
ings, but no excitement is manifested. The
papers generally denounce the shooting as
deliberate murder, but seem to consider it az
deed THAT was to be expected. No surprise
is expressed that 1t took place, and outward-
IL but little sympathy is shown 1or tne-a>,
ceased journalist The press universally de-
MES that the tragedy must be regarded
abroad as fair illustration Of the social con-:
dition of this city, but is the result Of reck-
lcss Journalism on the one side and some
thing like old-tlme border politics on the
other. 1t was generally believed that the imme-
diatecause ofthe shooting was the distribution
through the city Of copies Of the old PAM
pll1et originally published in Boston>ln 1857,
giving the full testimony and details Of the,
trial Of Kallocl, ST., for the scandal at the
Lechmere House.
During De Young's recent absence East 1t
was extensively telegraphed that he was
gathering materials to prejudice the public
in his favor in his approaching trial for the
assault to murder Kalloch Aug. % last
Soon after his return
THESE PAMPHLETS APPEARED.
and It was generally believed De Young
caused their circulation. This mornings
Chronicle denies that De Young had hand
in distributing them, and says he deprecated
the act as calculated to injure his prospects
at the trial. No other reason is, however,
known to provoke Kalloch to do the shoot
ing, and he persistently refuses to make any
statement of his motives.

CHARLES F. POTTER
was in the Chronicle office. Shortly after
O'Clock saw two men come In. Immediately
after Charles De Young came in- They be-
gan talking together and stood between the
front doorway and the corner of the counter.
Shortly after some one opened the door and
FIXED 4 SHOT.
Jumped inside the counter and went behind
the safe door. When the man came in he
opened the door but very little, and imme-
diately began firing. De Young ran after
the first shot was fired, and the man followed
him up, firing again. De Young stopped when
he got behind the counter, and the man fired
a shot down at him that struck him in the
mouth, and was the first shot that hit HIM
De Young ran backwards behind the CASH
ier's desk, pulled out his pistol and held it In
his hand. The man fired another shot them
As soon as De Young pulled bis pistol and
tried to raise it, the man who had been shoot
ing at him
TURNED AND RAN.
Charles De Young was so weak that he
could not raise his pistol or arm. He
dropped it on the desk. Then saw him
sinking, and caught him and laid him on
tho floor. He did not say word. The blood
was coming from his mouth so that he could
not speak. Some one, believe Elias Do
Young, said, "Charley, are you shot?''
These were the only words heard spoken
Charles De Young made no reply. did not
hear Kaloch say q word. From the time
the man fired the first shot he kept following
De Young, and De Young kept retreatfng-
Hewas near the door, when he fired the first
shot, and he fired it before the door closed
behind him. The man was right close to
him when he fred the shot at him behind
the counter, so close that should think the
powder must have burned his face. After
that shot De Young TUNED around and went
behind the cashiers desk from the side
nearest the window to the side nearest tho
safe. AS he got there noticed apistol In
his hands, and the man saw it as he
came round that corner and he ran. De
Young stood there about two minutes, and
then turned around and fell over the desk.

talking to Potter while De Young was out
side the counter conversing with two gentle
men. While standing at the lower side

quick Glanced up and saw Kalloch just
