The DeYouug killing.


ulars attending the shooting are as fol-
lows: DeYoung entered the business
Office, passed into the private office to
get some children's books which lie
had purchased, came out again 10
say something to one of the clerks.
when ho heard some one say: "Mr,
DeIoung, would like TO see you.' He
turned, and almost before he had time
TO recognize the person who spoke,
Spreckels fired. The bullet struck him
in his arm above the elbow. DeYoung,
who was encumbered with an oyercoat
and the bundles of chidren's books,
dashed behind desk with the inten.
tion of running to his private room.
before he had time to do so,
Spreckels fired Il second shot, which
took effect In his shoulder. De Young
then made second dash for his private
Office, but in doing so slipped and fell
on The floor. Spreckles rushed
up, and standing over him,
fired third shot. This bullet
struck the childrens' books. The chan
ces are that the books saved his life.
The instant of Spreckels' third shot,
George w. Emerson, advertising clerk,
grabbed revolver lying in the drawer
! OF one of the desks, and fired at Spreck-
els, hitting him in the left arm, causing
only slight wound. Before Spreckels
had time to fire another shot, j. q,
Chesley, the cashier, sprnng from be-
hind n railing and seized Spreckols' re-
volver aud prevented his using IT,
While Chesley was struggling with him
two other clerks rushed up and over
powered Spreckels. A moment after a
| police officer rushed in and
arrested him. Emerson, the ad-

was also arrested aud both were taken
to the city prison. DoYoung was imme-
diately removed In cab to his resi-
dence. His wounds, which at first
were believed to be slight, proved on ex-
animation more serious than was sun
posed. TWAS found that the first bull
let passed within sixteenth of an inch
of tho sub-clavian artery, which, il IL
had been struck, would have caused
him TO bleed TO death. Fears are now
entertained that if suppuration sets in
tho artery may become affected, De-
