SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Just before s
o'clock this evening, Charles De Young
entered the business Office Of the Chronicle,
on the ground floor on the corner of Bush
and Kearney streets, and stood talking with
some gentlemen, leaning against the coun-
ter. Directly the door opened, and Mr.. j.
M. Kalloch entered, and drawing a pistol,
and without, as far as can be learned,
speaking a word, began firing at De Young.
The latter ran through the gate of the
counter to the desk inside. Kalloch firing
at him as he ran. On reaching the desk,
De Young turned to face his opponent with
q pistol in his hand, when Kalloch, leaning
over the counter, fred again, the ball
striking De Young in the mouth. Kalloch
then started for the door. De Young raised
his pistol as if to fire, but apparently his
strength failed him, for his pistol was not
discharged, and sinking backwards, he fell
on the floor. The b~ystanders ran to his
assistance, but the ball had evidently
piercsd the base of the brain, and in q few
moments he expired.
As Kalloch ran out Of the door he was
seized by a citizen, and at the same mo-
ment an officer came up, took him into
custody and conducted him to the City
Prison, where he was locked up.
The news of the murder few through the
city like wind, and in q few moments the
o4raak - 4la sa:-skx - kha nhrnr,A1 ~ H oa
was crowded with people eager to learn the
particulars of the affair. Policemen were
at once stationed at the doors of the Office
to keep out the inqnisitive crowd, and only
q few personal friends and reporters were
admitted.
In the rear Of the Office M. Fl. De Young,
brother of the deceased, reclined ON a lounge,
surrounded by friends, evidently overcome
by the tragedy, but with dry eyes and
calm, though strained voiced. He was not
present at the time of the shooting, having
left home after dinner a few moments later
than Charles. The deceased lay on the
floor, with face and breast dabbled in blood,
eyes closed, and his face bearing a calm ex-
preston, noticeable in cases Of those dying
from shot wounds. Only one wound was
found on his person, although at least four
shots were fired by Kalloch, two having
pierced the glass door and partition Of the
Office, and a third lodged in the window
casing.
Young Kalloch on being arrested, was,
as the arresting officer remarked, the cool
est man he ever saw. He still carried q
smoking pistol in his hand, which he sur
rendered to the officer on his way to the
station-house. He observed strict reti-
cence. and on being shown to his cell posi-
lively refused to have any intercourse what
ever with representatives Of the press. In
the absence OF any explanation from the
assassin Of the cause Of the act, it is gen.
orally understood to be attributable to a
pamphlet which has recently been circu-
lated about the city, attacking Mayor Kali
loch, father OF De Young's slayer.
During his recent visit East 1t is believed
that deceased devoted q great deal Of atten-
ton to gathering up matters regarding the
past life Of Mayor Kalloch, for the pre-
sumed purpose Of either using it at the ex-
pected trial Of the deceased on the charge
OF shooting Kalloch last August, or Of
making it subserve journalistic purposes.
The pamphlet above referred to was o doc
ument OF some sixty pages, and recounted
the details OF Kalloch's scandal in Boston,
and other matter Of a scandalous nature.
The pamphlet was anonymous, but young
Kalloch evidently considered that the de-
ceased was responsible for its publication,
and acted accordingly.
