SAN FRANCIsCo, Dec l4.-Cox. who
shot Mclaughlin Yesterday, detailed in
An interview the circumstances of the
meeting. he says he asked Mclaughlin
for $4,000 and that he replied that he
would compromise for 5000. Cox re-
fused saying he owed his lawyers $3O.-
0U. Mclaughlin then said that that
was all be would give, and that Cex
could take or leave it. "Then," said
Cox, 81 will attach your property"
II have p epared against that" re-
piled Mclaughlin. lyon caa't get a
cent"
Under the belief that he would net OBJ
tam justice IN any way, he drew a re-
voiver and fired. McIaughlin's friends
assert that the books will show that he
had paid Cox nearly $4,000 before
work was stopped on the Western Pa
cific road and that the amount claimed
by Cox was always in excess of what
was really due him.
The body of Mclaughlin has been
embalmed, and an inquest will held |
Monday next.
The Erening Post, referring TO the |
tragedy. says: 1t is the direct outcome |
OF tie sllvish adherence to technicali-
ties by the Supreme Court of CalifOr-
MIA, which Sd often ignores equity and
outraRes justice.
