of the opportunity to take a last look at the
features Of him who filled 50 prominent a
place in the annals of local affairs. The

services at the house a procession was
formed, the Odd Fellows leading, followed
by a long line of carriages containing
mourners, friends, employees of the Chron-
icle and others, and proceeded to the Odd
Fellows Cemetery, where the last rites were

The house was profusely and beautifully
decorated with flowers. The mother OF

when the procession returned to town and
the crowd dispersed.
At the sand lot, to-day, no mention was
made of the Kalloch-De Young affair. The
speakers, it is understood. were acting I'M
der instructions from the Ward Presidents.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The Post pub
fishes an interview with young Kalloch
this evening. He still declines to say any,
thing about the circumstances leading to
his attack on De Young, but regarding the
alleged conspiracy, in which Ransome. the
Mayors colored servant, is made to figure,
he remarked, 'sf you see Jim Ransome,
you can tell him just to come right out
square with truth. 1t can't hurt any one."
Mayor Kalloch was attending to his duties
at the City Hall to-day, and he voluntarily
stated that he deeply deplored the turn
matters had taken, and SO did his family.
~ tAOaoht tInt Mlth4A thll Wy oRyb, WHICH,
the excitement had subsidized, however
much the tragedy is to be regretted, the
city at large would be more peaceful and
less agitated. With regard to the report OF
his having been down town on the night
OF the shooting. both he and his son deny
the rumor as being malicious and absurd.
The Mayor and Mrs. Kalloeh were out
driving all day last Friday with friends,
and returned home at 6 P. NJ. The Mayor
felt weary and laid down ON a bed in his
own room to rest. He was called for din
ner at z o'clock, but not feeling we'll, he
undressed and went to bed. He fell
asleep Immediately after going to bed, but
was aroused about 10 o'clock, and informed
that his son had killed Chas. De Young.
Regarding the rumor of a conspiracy being
carried on at the house where his colored
servant lodged, the Mayor said that he had
visited his servant almost every day while
he was sick, and 30 had his son, and that
there was not the slightest foundation for
the charge of conspiracy. The Mayor
stated also that he had no further public
speeches to make. The mar who tried to
assassinate him is no more. Although he
met his death from q source that was, Of
course, to him most deplorable, he should
continue to fulfill his duties as Chief Mag
istrate of the city to the best of his ability.
The Workingmen have placed a guard Of
twenty-five men, taken from their militia,
on duty at Mayor Kalloch's house, to pre-
vent the intrusion of undesirable parties,
who they think might be intent on some
desperate act.
The Coroner's autopsy on the body Of
Charles De Young shows chat the fatal
shot struck deceased on the right side Of
the jaw. 1t did not penetrate the brain,
but ranged downward. and was found i'm
bedded in the interior jugular vein. An
other shot had penetrated the outer and
inner coat, but had not reached the body.
kalloch is still reticent and makes no
statement. He was taken from the City
Prison to the Police Court to-day, when
his case was continued until Thursday.
His father accompanied him.
The Post, on Saturday, published an in
terview with Mike de Young. On being
asked what he considered the causes lead
ing to the shooting, he replied that he did
not know. Referring to the circulation
Of the previously-mentioned pamphlet, he
said: ~ do not know il that was his griev-
ance or not. He certainly had no reason
to think that my brother had anything to
do with the pamphlets. We had nothing
at all to do with them. and did not even
know that they were in circulation until
shown n by q friend. I think that a GER
tain Mr.. Shimmens, editor and proprietor
OF q Kansas City or L~eavenworth paper,
who accused Kalloch Of swindling him out
of $4,000, put them in circulation here.
This man has constantly assailed Kalloch
in his paper, and has avowed to make him
disgorge. He was out here. I believe, q
few weeks ago. and finding that Kalloch
was able to pay him, determined to get his
money" Mr.. De Young further stated that
a recent visit East OF the deceased had no
connection with his trial. 1t was solely to
make terms with paper manufacturer.
