MA MURDER.
Last summer during the campaign
for Mayor in San Francisco, De
Young attempted to kill Kalloch, for
slandering him. A few. days ago a
son Of Mayor. Kallock shot and in
stantly killed De Young, young Kali
loch claiming that De Young had
slandered his father:
San Francisco, April a. The Call,
after a brief referencew the circum-
stances Of the De Young murder says:
"The sentiment Of law-abiding citi-
zens is one Of regret that the law was
not trusted to right whatever wrong
may have been committed. We have
tolerated them too long, and the nat
ural result is, such tragedies as we
have now to record
The Alta says: ''The killing of
De Young was a vulgar assassina-
H.H. i.
ton and a dark blot on San Francis
co. The record of the dead man was
far from blameless, but he on whose
account the crime was committed was
not irreproachatle in reputation or
reticent in speech, and had little ex-
cuse to have SANDER against him aven-
ged by a bullet. 1t is a great mis-
fortune for San Francisco that any
of the parties made their home here,
and the community is sick Of malig-
nant personal abuse drawn from Sc
crets of private life, and of allowing
the party who adopts that mode of
warfare, and finds himself beaten at
it, to get even by murder. Indignant
public opinion and the memorable
rigor of the law should insist that
such offenses be no longer committed
with impunity."
The Post publishes an interview
Within. ii. De Young, a brother of
the murdered man, who said he did
not know what was the immediate
cause of the shooting. Thought Kel-
loch had nc reason tothink his broth
err had anything to db with c@ircula-
ting the pamphlet rejecting against
Kallach's father. SAID he and his
brother did not even know they were
in circulation until shown by frien |!
Thought a Mr.. Slimmins, editor Ct
the Kansas City Newspaper Echo,
who accuses Mayor Kalloch Of swim
ding him out of $4,000, put them
in circulation.
Young Kalloch, on being ques-
toned, declined to state whether he
had evidence that De Young was the
instigator of the pamphlet.
There has been no excitement in
the city, except that naturally at
tendant upon such a tragedy, and
any attempt at violence, as has be-, n
reported, is absolutely unthoughtof
The Bulletin of this evening, after
retrieving briefly tho whole Kalloch.
DeYoung quarrel, says: "The caus,
es which lie at tho bottom of the
feud are reckless journalism on one
hand and border politics on the other
There is a line in journalism which
can not be over stepped without pro-
voking retaliation; it is, in a large
sense, the death line. The public
acts of public persons are just sub
jects of public criticism, but even tina
latitude is not justified, if persona
malice is the leading motive"
Young Kalloch was brought be
fore the police court this forenoon
his father accompanying him, and hi
case was continued until next Thurs
9 day. AS afurther indication of TIN
; tenor of public opinion, it may be no
. tedthat manyofthe better class, though
not expressing any sympathy for Dc
Young, exhibit a strong feeling of in
dignation in a general way, agains
