CHARLES De YOUNG KILLED BY MAY.
OR KAll0cH's SON.

garded with more indifference from
| the fact that, since the shooting Of his
father last August, he had boasted
| from time to time that DE Young
would feel his vengeance. De Young,
who heard of this, did not pay the
slightest attention to the reports, and
| as he always went armed, possessed
unbounded courage and was unusually
quick In his movements. his friends
were not at all alarmed for his safety.
SUPPOSED CAUSED THE TROURLE.
One of the immediate causes of the
tragedy that startled and shocked the
city last night is believed to be the re-
cent appearance in this city Of PAM
phlet entitled 1.-THE only full report Of
the trial of I. s. Kalloch on the charge
Of adultery" This pamphlet contain
ed q portrait of KallOch and the wO-
man with whom he is said to have
been intimate, and pretended to give
q full history of the whole affair, the
d0ings of the church, Kalloch's pulpit
experience, arrest, arraignment, trial,
and the result. Its imprint was "BOs-
ton, EdOrhan & Co., 1851" but 1t was
generally regarded, with how much
| truth it Is now impossible to say, that
| its re-appearance was due to De Young.
| He was known to have gone East some
time ago to hunt up facts in the career
of Kalioch. This pamphlet was ex-
| tensively circulated, and the KallOch
party was wrought up to
A STATE OF DESPERATION.
De Young continued his vigorous as
saults on Kalloch, and as the time for
his trial for the shooting drew near,
he became more aggressive, and Kali
lOch's friends became cOrrespOndingly
exasperated. There Is no doubt that
| the young man was egged on more or
less by desperate characters who have
recently had such set backs in the ar
rest of Kearney and the talk of Inn
peaching the mayor, that they took
advantage of his boasting and cOndi-
ton to put him up to the job. The
workingmen made no effort to disguise
their feelings over the result, and are
gathered in groups this morning dis
cussing the situation. Young Kalloch
is in prison and closely guarded.
DE YOUNG's AGED MOTHER,
between whom and her son unusually
strong affection existed, is prostrated
by the shock of her sons murder. The
end Is not yet. 1t is generally believ-
ed De Young's brothers are courage
GUS, and more blood will be split be-
fore the end. Great sympathy for her
is felt everywhere, and though De
Young was most cordially hated, his
love for his mother was one of the re-
deeming features in him, and many
words Of sympathy are expressed.
Another special from San Francisco
says: The shooting of Charles De
Young by yeung Kalloch last night
has created such an excitament i'm this
city as has never been equaled before,
even at the most stormy period of our
history. 1t exceeds in violence the
storm Of public passion and agitation
that succeeded the shooting of Mayor
KallOch by De Young, In August last,
and it has increased to-day to such an
extent that no one can say what the
ultimate::consequence WILDE. The feel
ing against the parties of which May
or Kalloch and Kearney are leaders
has been growing stronger of late, and
this assassination has infuriated the
people 80 that the mayor is not con-
sidered safe from
PUBLIC VENGEANCE.
Threats are freely expressed against
him and the entire Sand Lot. Young
Kslloch is still in prison and is closely
guarded.
DETAILS OF THE SHOOTING.
San Francisco, April 24.-Just be-
fore 8 last evening Chas. De Young en-
tered the business office of the Chron-
icLe on the ground floor, corner of
Kearney and Bush streets, and stood
talking with some gentlemen, leaning
against the counter. Directly the door
opened, I. NJ. Kalloch entered, and
drawing a pistol, without, as far ascan
be learned, speaking a word, began
firing at De Young. The latter ran
through the gate of the counter to the
desk inside, Kalloch firing at him as
he ran. On reaching the desk De
Young turned to face his opponent with
q pistol in his hand, when KallOch,
leaning over the counter. fired again,
the ball
STRIKING DE YOUNG IN THE MOUTH.
Kalloch then started for the door. De
Young raised his pistol as if to fire, but
apparently his strength failed him, for
the pistol was not discharged. Sink
ing backward he fell on the floor. The
bystanders ran to his assistance, but
the ball had evidently pierced the
brain and In few minutes he expir-
ed. As KallOch ran OutOf the door he
was seized by citizen and at the same
moment an officer came up and took
him into custody and conducted him
to the city prison, where he was lock-
ed up.
The news few through the city like
wind. In q few moments the street in
the vicinity of the Chronicle office was
crowded with people eager to learn the
particulars. Policemen were at once
stationed at the doors of the Office to
keep out the Inquisitive crowd, and
only few personal friends and repOr-
ters were admitted.
In the rear Office, w. II. De Young,
brother of the deceased, reclined on q
lounge surrounded by friends, evident

but with dry eyes and calm. He was
not present at the time of the shooting
having left home after dinner q few
minutes later than Charles. The de-
ceased lay on his back on the floor. his
face and breast dabbled in blood, his
eyes closed, and his face bearing a
clam expression, noticeable in the case
Of those dying from slot wounds.
Only one wound was found on his per-
son, although at least four shots were
fired by Kalloch, two having pierced
the glass door and the partition of the |
Office, and the third lodged in q win |
dow casing.
Young Kalloch, on being arrested,
was, "a the arresting officer remarked, |
the coolest man he ever saw. He still |
carried the smoking pistol In his hand, |
which he surrendered to the officer ON /
his way to the station house. He OBJ
served strict reticence, and on being
shown to his cell positively refused to
have any intercourse, whatever, with /
