Details of the Affair.

SAN Francisco, April 24.-Just before
o'clock last evening Chas. De Young entered
the business Office of the Chronicle, on the
ground floor corner OF Kearney and Bush
streets, and stood talking with some gentlemen
leaning against the counter. Directly the door
Opened and ]. NJ. KalIoch entered, and drawing
pistol without, as far as can be learned, speak
ing word began firing at De Young. The lat
ter ran through the gate of the counter inside,
Kalloch firing at him as he ran. On reaching
the desk De Young turned to face his opponent
with pistol in his hand when Kalloch, leaping
over the counter fired again, striking De Young
in the mouth Kalloch then started for the
door, and De Young raised his pistol as if to
fire, but apparently his strength failed him,
for the pistol was not discharged, and sinking
backward he fell on the floor. The by
ISLANDERS ran to his assistance, but the ball had
evidently pierced 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 moment an Off
Ger came up, took him into custody, and con-
Quoted him to the city prison, where he was
locked up.
NEWS OF THE MURDER
flew through the city like wild-fre, and in
few moments the street in the vicinity of the
Chronicle office was crowded with people eager
to learn the particulars of the affair. Police
office to keep out the inquisitive crowd, and
only few personal friends and reporters were
admitted. In the rear office. W. II. De Young,
brother of the deceased, reclined on lounge,
surrounded by friends, evidently overcome by
he tragedy, but with calm eyes and calm
voice. He was not present at the time of the
shooting. having left home after dinner a few
minutes later than Charles De Young. The de-
ceased lay on his back on the floor, his fGce and
breast
DABBLED IN BLOOD,
his eyes closed and his face bearing the calm
expression noticeable in the case of those dy-
ing 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
the third lodged in the window casing.
Young Kalloch, on being arrested was, as the
arresting officer remarked, the coolest man he
ever saw. He still carried the smoking pistol
in his hand, which he surrendered to the officer
on his way to the station house. He observed
strict reticence and, on being shown to his cell,
positively refused to have any intercourse
whatever with a reporter of the press. In the
absence of any explanations from the assassin
of the cause of the act, it is generally under
stood to be
ATTRIBUTED TO A PAMPHLET
which has recently been circulated about the
city attacking Mayor Kalloch, father of De
Young's slayer. During a recent visit East it
Is believed the deceased devoted a great deal of
attention TO the gathering of matters regarding
the past life of Mayor Kalloch, for the presum-
ed purpose either of using it at the trial of
deceased on charge of shooting KallOch last
August or of making it subserve journalistic
purposes. The pamphlet above Preferred to
was document of some 60 pages and recount
ed details of the Kalloch scandal in Boston,
and other matters Sof scandalous nature. The
pamphlet was anonymous, but young KallOch
evidently considered that the deceased was re-
spousibls for its publication and acted accord
ingly.
