a citizen of San Francisco, who has been
identified for some years with the local
politics OF that city, and who is now here
temporarily, said yesterday, as be read oil
the shooting of Mr.. De Young by Mayor
kalloch's SOD:
This is only the beginning of the trouble
You have heard of the vendetta in Corsica
haven't you, in which the son or brother OF
the murdered man follows the slayer for q
lifetime, but always accomplishes his re.
venge? Wei, the vendetta is declared
between the kellochs and the brother oil
Charles De Young 1 don't believe Mike
DE Young will ever sleep comfortably egain
until the Kallochs, father and son, are in
their graves. He belongs to a terribly VIM
dictive tribe, and like his dead brother,
knows no fear. / never saw two brothers SO
stfectionate as the De Youngs were, and |
know that both were devoted, body and
mind, to their aged mother. At the time
Napthall and Charley had their SHOOTING
match, the latter got out special edition of
the Chronicle without an account of the
ARRAY, and having sent one of the few copies
printed to his mother, broke the plate and
printed the regular edition."
YOUNG KALLocH.
who is young Kalloch?"
He is young man of about twenty-eight
years of sge, stands five feet eight or nine
inches, has blonde beard, regular features
light hair and blue eyes. His face is essen
TALLY q weak one and never was more as
tonished in my life than / was at hearing
that he had shot Charles De Young. never
saw him until August last, just after Charles
De Young bad shot the senior Kalloch in
front OF the Metropolitan Temple, at Fifth
and Jessie sire e.s. | believe that prior to
that time he had been a preacher in Sonoma
County. His first appearance, to my knowl-
edge. was on the Sunday succeeding the
shooting. On that occasion / saw him on
the Sand Lots, and heard him speak to
kssrney's hoodlums. | did not know then
that he v as minister OF the Gospel, for
nothing in his dress or appearance denoted
his calling, and there was certainly
nothing in bis manner of speak.
ing to lead me to believe that he had ever
been ordained. He was rough, slangy and
profsne, like most OF Kearney's orators
though not so outrageously profane as Denis
himeelf-and seemed to be eking out
shortness of ideas by abundant and violent
Billingsgate. One passage OF his address l
remember well, and remember also that it
was received with a burst of applause that
might have been heard mile away. In sub
stance he said: If my father dies I'll be
damned if don't kill Charles De Young
When next l saw him he was the assistant
pastor of the Temple. where his father
breaches. had no desire to hear him preach
after having heard him on the Sand Lots"
SIS he dissipsted?'
VI never saw him intoxicated, but Captain
Tom FInnerty, the commander of the Work
ingmens' militia, says that he takes "a nip on
the sly That was also the reputation of the
old man, but l never heard of his being on q

WAS he DRUNK?
''Whet do you think was the motive for
the shootiDgH
First and foremost, believe that young
kallocb, sober, could never have mustered
up resolution enough to do the shooting.
Drunk, he may be another man. 1t was an
open secret in San Francisco over q month
ago that Charles De Young was on the track
of some of the alleged misdoings OF Kalloch,
ST., and it was said that be and his agents
among whom Captain Leeds was mentioned
by nane) had uneartned a past record that
was far from savory. Whether kalloch and
his son knew that De Young possessed this
information, or whether, in fact, there was
any information of this nature, / don't
know, am only telling you what the town
talk was. Allowing these rumors to be true,
you have a very apparent motive
for the murder"
"The feeling against De Young for shoot
ing Kalloch 10 not so bitter now as 1t was,
is it?'
'Mr. Kalloch's utilization with Kearney
deprived him of the sympathy that elected
him Mayor. There was good deal of clap
trap about that shooting that has never been
made public. Kslloch was not badly hurt;
and his remaining at the Temple instead of
going home was necessary only for political
effect. He wanted to secure sympathy by
seeming martyrdom and he did it. Both of
the bullets were extracted by his wife, with
out the aid of surgical operation"
