Tsan FRANCISCO BulIetip. pecember 18th. !

[San Francisco Bulletin, December 13th.l
Charles B. Mclaughlin, the capitalist, was
fatally shot about ten minutes past 10 o'clock
this morning in his office, No. 16 Montgom-
cry avenue, by Jerome B. Cox. Three shots
were fred, and the wounded man died about
half an hour afterwards The tragedy grew
out of the legal difficulties in which the two
have been involved for some time. The news
of the terrible affair spread from mouth to
mouth on the streets. and soon the sidewalk
at the foot of the stsirway that leads to the
Office was crowded with people. The first
that was known of the tragedy by the police
was when, i've minutes after the shooting,
Arthur Casey young man employed in Nc
Laughlin's office, came running GREATNESS
and hatless into the court of the Old City
Hall. He darted in from the Washington.
street side, and said excitedly to officer
Samuel Alden, who was the only policeman
in sight, =" Eor Gods sake come over quick to
No. 16 Montgomery avenue" Alden ran
after him, as fast possible, up the stairs
three steps at a time, and into the Office.
The room is at the end of o long, dark corri
dor on the second floor, and has been occu-
pied with the deceased by Tully r. Wise,
attorney. When the officer entered the Office
Mclaughlin was lying on the floor perfectly
conscious and bleeding from q wound in the
neck. At his side in q chair and looking
down upon HIM was Cox. Alden said, " Now,
what's all this about ?" and Immediately took
the wounded man up by both arms and raised
him on to a lounge, which young Casey rolled
out OF an adjoining room.
Mclaughlin then replied in answer to AL
denis question, " He pointing to Cox asked
me to give him $500 and when l refused
he shot me-"
Cox at this sprang from his chair excitedly,
saying, cts lie !"
Alden busted himself caring for the in
jured man. He noticed he was growing
weaker from the loss of blood, and fearing
his death at any moment, decided to take
down his statement while the young man had
gone across the street for a doctor. In re-
spouse to questions put to him hastily, the
officer jotted down the answers.

STATEMENT.

Mclaughlin repeated that Cox had shot
him three times. He said that he was sitting
alone in the Office when Cox came in ard de-
msnded statement; he replied that he was
willing to settle without trouble, and asked
him to go into the next room. They went
in. when Cox demanded $4,000, and being
refused he shot Mclaughlin three times
While Alden was writing the statement
down. DIR. c. G. Toland arrived and cared
for the wounded man, administering brandy
to revive him, as it was evident he was rap
idly sinking. Cox had meanwhile been sit
ting coolly il his chair. watching the others.
Alden hurriedly searched Mclaughlin, and
found 10 mis- right-hand hip pocket horn
handled knife with an extension blade that
might be only about four inches in length, or
twice that. as the holder desired. Cox stated
that it was the knife that Mclaughlin had
endesvored to draw on him when he shot
him. Alden decided that he had best take
Cox into custody. He first searched him and
found in his right-hand pants pocket a 80
caliber Smith & Wesson revolver of FIVE
chambers. with three of them empty. The
barrel was still warm.

COX TAKEN TO PRISON.

Cox was then taken over to the Chiefs
Office in the old City Hall, arriving there
about 1875, all the preceding events de-
about twenty minutes. Chief Crowley i'm.
mediately dispatched Detectives Dan Coffey
and Colby to the scene of the shooting. It
was evident that Mel aughlin would live but
few moments, and Colby requested him to
make an ante mortem statement, Alden hsv-
ing omitted to state that he had already per-
formed that duty. Mclaughlin was very
pale and could speak only with the greatest
difficulty and apparent pain. By degrees,
however, the following statement was OBJ
tanned:

The trouble between the parties dates back
to 1865, when Cox, with NJ. j. Arnold snd
Jackson L. Myers, took a sub-contrsct from
Mclaughlin to grade the Western Pacific
from San Jose Co Sacramento After the
completion of the first twenty miles they were
stopped by the failure of Mclaughlin to pay
for the work completed, amounting to about
$4,000. A lawsuit followed, and Cox &
Go. recovered in the District Court of Ala
Iaeda county. The Supreme Court reversed
the decision. On the second trial the defend
ants demurred and were sustained, The
plaintiffs refused to amend their complaint,
and judgment was rendered for Mclaughlin.
The Supreme Court modified the Judgment.
On the third trial plaintiffs recovered iudg-
ments and the Supreme Court again remanded
the case for new trial. Again Cox recov-
cred Judgment and again the Supreme Court
ordered new trial. The same state of af-
fairs occurred on another trial, and the case
is still or the calendar of the Alame6a Supe-
rior Court.
Mclaughlin was well known throughout (
the State. He has been prominent in rail- |
road construction. and was at the time of his |
death President of the Central Gas Company

This time the sign was in bronze and very
beautifully finished. The house was pfeten-
tious and elegant, and the neighborhood first

tie Swiss agent and his unreInunerative ven

matrimonial agency in Forty-ninth street
caught my eye [ stopped instinctively before
the house. Then [ noticed that below the
sign were two other signs, one of which was
that of a dentist, and another of q dress
maker. These Signs coming together in New
York are always suspicious, for either one OF
them gives an opportunity for women and
men TO enter a house or leave it at any time
of the day or night without being suspected
of anything wrong. T. +
related the incidents to friend later on in

what the keeper Of the place wanted. These

now are located in Fourteenth and Twenty
