THE "cHGoNIcLE's" ACCOUNT OF THE MURDER
The Chronicle Tomorrow will publish un account
of the murder to tho following elrct Dr. H. II.
Thrall, residing at 11S Geary street, aud his wife
and daughter, have made statements to Il Chronicle
reporter that on the evenings of last Wednesday and
Thursday, two men, believed by them to be tho
Rev. /. $. Kalloch and his son. visited house op-
posite their residence in mysterious way, remain

time two boys came running to the opposite house
and wcro admitted and the lights IN the house
were cXtngushed The house soon after was re-
hour than usual. During the visit of the
two men supposed to be Mayor Kali
y.
motions were partly visible through the window,
and they seemed TO be conducting themselves in
an excited manner. Lator, whom Chronicle re-
| porter was passing the house he saw Sullooh's
| coored servant standing on the steps, and n few
minutes later cab came up containing City Audi
tor Dunn, ex. Deputy Sheriff CLAYTON and n yOunu
man whose identity was unknown. The two latter
entered the house, but soon aferward came out
entered the cab, and drove In the direction of Tho
city hall. The Chronicle people profess TO believe
that these movements, coupled with sundry minor
circumstances indicate that the killing of DeYoung
was the result ofa conspiracy between Kalloch and
his son.
This evening uHrcporter drove to Mayor K0l-
lochs residence. On Hlighting he was confronted
by half dozen mon, who demanded to know his
name and business He informed them and said:
What are YOU doing here? Arc you expecting
Nike Dc Young To- assnssna,o Kalloch? That's
just what we ure looking for" replied the men.
on etecting communication with those in tho
house, the reporter was informed that the Mayor
was asleep, and that they would not disturb him,
when he left without obtaining any information.
To what crcdeuce this story may be entitled is yet
To-day couple of detectives visited the house
opposite, Or. Thralls residence and found thnt
Mayor KGlloch's coored servant, who said he was
i'll with rheumatism, was occupying u room
in the house. He was questioned at lrngth, but
that Mayor KallOch and his son had been in the
habit of visiting him there during his illness.
COMMENTS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2i.-The LdN, after brief
reference to the circumstances of the DeYoung
murder, says: The sentiment of the aw.abiding
citizens is one of regret that tho law was not
trusted to right whatever wrong may have been
committed The delays of the law often irritat-
ing and sometimes ineyplicable, but in all civil
izod communities II Is tho arbiter between man and
man. whose decision must be abidcd by This Is
the view of the case which the community vii
como to when tho present excitement has passed
away 1t is high time that the public shond find
some means to put stop to these personal wrGnge3
which keep society in trrmclt. We have tuCr
aled them 100 long, and the natural results are
such tragedies as We have now tO record"
Ilp Aha " The killing Di GhuPps npNouuV
was vulgar assassination and is Il dark blot on
San FrauCiscO's record. The dead man was far
from blnmeless but he on whose account the crime
was committed was not irropro0chablc in reputa

Neither side can claim to have acted tho part OF
meek innocence. Each has made charges against
the other unsuitable for public proof and mex

0vCnge their wrongs or pretended wrongs with

that any Of the parties had ever made their
malignant peIsonNi abuse drawn from the secrets
of private life, and of allowing tho party who
adopts that mode of warfare and finds himself
beaten Gt 1t 10 get even by murder. Indignant
public opinion and meNorlbe rigor Of the law
should insist that such o1nSas shall no longer be
committed with impunity In our midst"

young Kalloch, on being questioned this after.
noon, declined TO answer the question as whether
he had evidence that DeIoung was the instigOtor
OF tho pamphlet, saying he was In the hands of his
counsel, and considered 1t more prudent to say
