SCENE OF THE SHOOTING.

Junghans. Directly in the rear OF this is q
kitchen and opening out Of this, very
small, close bedroom. The store was
closed. The street and alley were full oil
people, attracted by the shooting, all talk
ing in an excited manner. A physician
was already in attendance and engaged in
dressing Mrs. Junghans' wound. The, ball
had entered little to the right Of her chin,
Just under the bone, and was believed to
have taken a diagonal backward course;
she complained OF feeling It in the back OF
her head.
The story told by her and her husband
was very unsatisfactory and led one 10
believe that they were not telling all they
knew about the affair. II was to the effect
that Mrs. Emblem had come there in com.
pany with short, heavy-set man with a
black moustache and goatee, who, she said,
was her uncle. Mr.. and Mrs. Junghans
claimed not to know his name and said
they had never seen him before. Mrs.
Emblem said that she wanted to talk to
her uncle baldwin, and they were shown
into the bedroom. Mrs. Emblem gave
Junghans fifteen cents and told him to 60
for some beer. Her companion made u
remark about the heat and pulled of his
coat and sat down on chair. Mrs. Em-
blen set on the edge of the bed. While
Junghans was gone for the beer she said:
"I'm afraid my husband is on TO this"
EMBLEM ARRIVES ON THE SCENE.
As she said it, Junghaus returned with
the beer. While he was out for it he met
Emblem, who asked II his wife was at his
(JunghansD house, and on being told that
she was, said he would go up and see her.
Entering the rear door together, Junghans
told his wife to tell MIS- Emblem that her
husband wanted tosee her. Jnnghans and
his wife say that at this time Emblem step
ped towards the bedroom, and that Bald
win stepped out into the kitchen, that
both men pulled revolvera and commenced
firing, and that beth fell, then rose, and
that Emblem chased Baldwin out doors
and down the alley; that while the shoot.
ing was in progress Mrs. Junghans stepped
from the bedroom into the kitchen and
received a shot. She affirmed that
Emblem shot her, although how he
could have given her the wound
she has, standing where abe says he did, it
would be hard to imagine. Junghans
picked up his little boy and got out Dur,
ing all the fusilade not word or cry was
uttered. The woman went away after the
shooting, but where she went to, they did
not know. The above is the substance OF
the vague and unsatisfactory stories they
told, and no one was found in that neigh
borhood who could give any more definite
particulars, except one man who saw the
man in his shirt sleeves Baldwin, knocked
down by Emblem as they ran down the
alley. The charatr Of Mrs. Junghans'
wound could not be determined before
this morning, although 1t was helieyedto be
serious. Mrs. Emblem, Mr.. and lirs. jung
hans said, had not called there before for
four months.
EMBLEM's WOUNDS.
In hopes Of getting at the bottom facts a
reporter was sent 10 interview the wounded
man, William Emblem. he was found at
his home at the intersection Of Twentieth
and Chapline streets. Two physicians
were working at him. His clothing, which
lay on the floor, was saturated with blood,
The worst wound was in the elbow, the
bones being badly fractured. In his right
shoulder he had large jagged hole, and
the bullet had not been found. The third
wound was 10 the lett wrist, and what little
Of that hand he had, he having lost the
major portion Of it when q boy. His right
hand in fact Is the only one he has been
ableto use for years. The ball entered the
back Of tho hand and tore up through the
wrist. This ball was cut opt. It was ilted
from a thirty:two calibre revolver.
After be had been placed in bed, at his
request, oil left the room except the report.
ers, and to them he related in cool, un.
UNREASONABLE manner, his account OF the
shooting, which in all probability is the
correct one.
