ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE shooting az
fair at the Republican Office on Thursday
night continues to be of public interest
here. The articles in the Republican to
which Sateldo took exception, and which
he resented, were inspired by the Star
Route ring, in retaliation for Sateldo's eff
forts to expose them. He was among the
irst who attacked Brsdy's administration
in the Second Assistant Postmaster Cen
erals Office. He published his charges OF
fraud and corruption in q newspaper
which. it is represented, was active in en-
couraging an investigation. The parties
accused Of completely in the Star Route
frauds retaliated by charging Sateldo with
a purpose of levying blackmail upon them,
and the fight became bitter on both sides.
Sateldo's friends now declare the article
exposing his visit and fight in a house OF
i'll fame, and q subsequent article charg-
ing him with an attempt to bride an en-
ploye of the Republican, was the work of
alleged Star Route conspirators. and were
published to punish him for his crusade
against the ring. They point to the we'll
known fact that until o few days ago Gen.
eral Brady was the chief owner Of the Re-
publican, and to the fact that it has been
the persistent defender of the accused Star
Route men, and has been recognized as
the organ Of these men.
Barton, in justification of himself, has
declared that he was obeying orders in
publishing the articles which have cost
Sateldo his life, perhaps. That he
was not, as has been alleged by certain
parties, venting any personal spleen,
but that he was carrying out the instruc-
tons of his superiors, which he dared not
disregard. This new phase of the matter,
together with the publication Of the fact
that marked copies of the papers contain
ing the articles against Sateldo were sent
to his wife, has considerably changed the
tone of public sentiment in Sateldo's favor.
At first he was generally condemned, but
his friends have made it appear that he was
ruthlessly pursued and goaded, even his
enemies attacking him in the esteem and
affection of his wife. He resorted to every
means to keep the knowledge Of his mis-
conduct from her. 1t was in the inform
ing Of his wife, through marked copies Of
the Republican that goaded Sateldo to dec
peration.
Thu paper he presented to Barton was q
written confession that Barton, while in the
employ Of the District Of Columbia Govern
ment several years ago, obtained money
through forgery. 6ateldo claimed that he
had proof Of this, and his purpose, so it is
stated, was to compel Barton to acknowl-
edge his guilt by afixing his signature to
the paper. Then, SO it is said, Sateldo in
tended to present the paper to the proprie-
tors of the Republican, and demand, in the
name Of consistency, as they had been
scoring him for his misdeeds, that they
discharge Barton. or course Barton re-
fused to sign the paper, whsreupon Sateldo
struck him. and they grappled over
Barton's desk. Barton Is known to have
said that he was prepared for Sateldo il he
attempted to violently resent the articles.
There was an old feud between the men.
sateldo il still living, but there 10 no
hope Of his recovery.
