CHICAGO, June 1.-While the docket was
being called in Judge Jamieson's court

pistol shot and Colonel Whitney at
once disappear under the table. The
shot was followed by four more IN
rapid succession, and Mrs. Rawson was
seen pursuing Whitney with Smith Il
Wesson 3S-caliber revolver. Mrs. Rawson
succeeded in emptying her revolver at
Whitney before she could be captured.
Two OF the balls hit the lawyer, one
taking effect below the groin and tho
other in the left leg. The wound near the
right groin will probably be fatal.
Judge Jameson at once ordered Mrs. Raw
sons arrest and she was Immediately
taken to jail. When the officers arrived at

had every appearance of being an insane
woman. Her eyes were red and blood
shot and she complained of being cold and

completed she became more composed.
