The DeYoung .Ka1ioch Tragedy-Further
Particulars

| at least four shots were fired by kailoch
two having pierced the glass door and par
tition of The cffice and the third lodged il
the window casing. Young Kalloch. on
| being arrested was. as the arresting Office
remarked, the coolest man he ever saw
| He still carried the smoking pistol in hi
hand, which he surrendered to the officer
On his way to the station house he observ
ed strict reticence, and on being shown t.
his cell positively refused to have any
Intercourse whatever with representatives
of the press. In the absence of any ex
plantations from the ASSASSIN OF the cause
| it is generally understood to DC attributed
to the pamphlet which recently has beer
circulated about the city attacking Kali
loch, the father of DeYoung's SLAYER
During his recent visit K ST it is believed
| that the deceased devoted great deal ol
| attention to gathering up matters regard
ing the past life of Mayor KalIoeh, for the
presumed purpose of either usipg it at the
expected trial of the deceased on the
charge OF shooting kallooh last August, or
OF making 1t subserve journalistic purpo-
ses, The pamphlet above referred to was
document OF some sixty pages and re-
counted the details Of the Kailoch scandal
10 Boston and other matter of scandalOus
nature. The pamphlet was anonymous,
but young kalIoch evidently considered
that the deceased was responsible for its
publication and acted accordingiy,
VI hen the coroners wagon bearing the
body of De Young turned from Kearney
into Market the crowd made a sort of a
rush that had the appearance of being
directed at the wagon. II might have
been merely natural surge of the con-
course following the wagon on meeting the
crowd gathered on Market street, but the
police viewing it as attempt at violence
used their clubs freely, beating back the
crowd aud inhicting severe punishment on
some of the most forward. Aside from
this incident there has been 10 sign of
violence and no reason for the service of
police except in keeping back the press.
Large crowds still linger around the
Chronicle Office and at the main and
branch offices of the Call and at the Moreue
quietly discussing the affair and waiting
with the usual morbid interest to hear any
further particulars obtainable.
Further inquiry shows that young Kali
loeb fred five shots at De Young, of which
only one (the tourth) took effect Other
wise the original report of the affair seems
to be substantially correct. Ii is evident
that the deed was deliberate, Officer
DeYoung entered the Office he saw Kai--
loch walk along kearney street and peer
into the widow of the Chronicle counting
room. He was evidently on the watch,
awaiting the arrival of the victim.
About quarter past 9 the Coroner's
assistants took the body from where it
had been lying on the floor awaiting his
examination and removed it the morgue.
The crowd in the mean time had increased
TO thousands, blocking up both kearney
and Bush streets. 1t was com posed Of all
classes, evidently including great many
of sand lot prociivities. AS the body was
brought out, howls and ejaculation of ex-
ultion and 0erisi0n arose. The CoroGer's
wagon, escorted by squad of police, ,droYc
at once to the morgue, followed by hoot
ing, whistling mob. The demonstration
was confined merely to words, no action of
a violent nature occurring. On arriving at
the morgue a crowd gathered there for a
while, Continuing its demonstrations, but
soon dispersed, and the officers retired.
The conduct of the mob called forth many
expressions OF disgust and Indignation
from tie more respectable of the bystand
ers, bat there was nothing whatever tend
ing towards any brecch OF the peace. A
great concourse still fingered 10 the vicin~
affair, but az alarm Of fire several blocks
distant drew many of them away about 10

The spamphlet previously referred TO

a brief preface to the effect that it
was published with 20 malicious motives.

admitted that the document was issued

possible that the publication of the pamph-
let was designed to have effect on the
present quarrel, as we'll as the coming
| trial of DeYoung. 1t is as yet too early to
guage the general expression OF public
opinion on the tragedy, but so far as
could be cleaned from talk heard on the
streets tLis evening the tenor seemed to
be that the death OF DeYoung at the hand
of the son was legitimate outgrowth oi
the recent attack of the deceased upon
