tomorrow will publish an account, which
It has also given to the Call and Alta, to
the following effect: DR.. Il. Il. Thrall, re-
siding at lis. George street, and his wife
and daughter, have made statement to
Chronicle reporter that, on the evenings
OF last Wednesday and Thursday, two
men, believed by them to be Rev. j. NJ.

posite their residence, in a mysterious
way, remaining there some time; that last
evening they again went to that house to.
gether, Just before the shooting Of De-
Young.
Shortly alter o'clock DR., Thrall went
to a neighboring. drug store and there
heard OF the murder. In the meantime
two boys came running to the opposite
house and were admitted and the lights
in the house were extinguished, The
house was soon after relighted and so re-
NAMED till much later hour than usual.
Kalloch and son, just before the shooting,
their motions were visible through
a window, and they seemed to be con-
ducting themselves in an excited manner.

house, saw kalloch's colored servant
standing on the steps. A few minutes
later q cab came up containing city Audi.
tor Dunn, ex.Deputy Sheriff Clayton aud
a young man unknown. The two latter
entered the house, soon after came out,

minor circumstances, indicate that the
killing OF DeYoung was the result OF a
conspiracy between KallOch and his son.
This eyeninga "Call" reporter drove TO
Kalloch's, and on alighting he was con-
fronted by half dozen men who demands

informed them, and said: "What are you
doing here? Are you expecting Mike
DeYOung to assassinate KalloCh?" "That
is Just what We are looking ior," replied
the men. In efFecting communication
with those in the house, the reporter was
informed that the Mayor was asleep and
they would not disturb him, when he left
without obtaining any information. To
what credence this story may be entitled
Is yet to be learned.
To-day couple Of detectives visited the
house opposite DR.. Thrall's residence and
found Mayor Kalloch's colored servant,
who, said he was i'll with rheumatism, oc.
cupying a room in the house. de was
questioned at length, but nothing of i'm
portance was elected further than Kali
loch's son had been in the habit Of visit
ing him during his illness.

place this afternoon from the residence of
his mother, on Edely street, between

Several thousand persons gathered In and
