SHOT FROM BEHIND.
What Was Revealed by the Au-
topsy Last Night.

Coroner Eaton and DR.. Estes held an
autopsy on the body of Cogan last night.
They found four wounds on the body. one
in the back, another in the chest and two
ON the right hand. The four wounds were
caused by one bullet
The ball had entered the back on the left
side, between the eighth and ninth ribs,
about an inch from the spine, passed
through the left lung, cutting the aorta,
asophagus, pericardium, the descending
vena cava and plowed its way through the
right lung, making It's exit on the right
breast near the nipple. The bullet also
struck the right hand, intlcting two
wounds.
Coroner Eaton said the autopsy proved
cOnelusively that Cogan had been shot from
behind, at distance of probably twenty
feet. There were no powder marks and it
was impossible for any to exist on the body
as deceased had worn a heavy coat and
thick flannel outer and under shirts.
DR.. Eaton believed the deceased was rnn-
ming at the time the shot was fired and
based his conclusion on the peculiar wounds
in the hand. He thought Cogan was swing
ing his arms while getting away and while
his hand was thrown up the bullet struck II.
Until late at night curious crowd lott
cred about the Morgue in expectation of
seeing the remains OF the dead molder.
But the lOiterers were doomed to disap-
pointment, for only near friends were
allowed to look at the body which lay upon
a slab in the autopsy-roo under white
sheet. The covering was thrown back at
one corner exposing the young mans chest
and the fatal bullet-wound in the right
side. His hands were crossed, the right
just above the wound, and it was also
pierced by the missile which took away his
life

HIS MOTHERS PET.
The Grief of the Poor Old Woman Is
Hesrt-Rending.

The Grief of the Poor Old Woman Ii
Heart-Rending.
Cogan was his mothers pet and his death
has evidently, destroyed her happiness. She
refuses to be c0mforted, and as the horror
of her trouble fastens upon her mind from
time to time she utters agonized screams
and throws herself upon the bed in pitiful
abandonment of grief. With the discomfort
of hysteria, the old woman wanders through
the house, shriekns and crying:
They've killed my boyl They've muir
dered my Eddie! Oh, the darling boy! He
didn't harm any one! He never hurt any
one! My child, my pretty boy, who killed
you? What did he DO it for?"
For a time the grief-stricken woman finds
relief in gazing at the picture of her dead
son, but only to realize more intensely her
loss and again PROSTATE herself in the vain
eDdeavor to suppress her anguish. So ex-
cessive is her grief that she relapses into a
state of temporary Inconsistencies, and
then is happily freed for whilo from the
terrible strain upon her mind.
The unfortunate young mans father,
Morris Cogan, is a carpenter and resides
with his wife at 20 Jessie street. He tries
to assuage his sorrow by smoking his pipe
but his hands and lips tremble with the
ordeal which he endeavors to bear with
stoicism. He said yesterday:
Il was the father of four sons last night.
This morning i have but three. They
were all born in California. There was
not kinder-hearted boy in San Francisco
than Ned. He was never into mischief
like other boys, and he went to his work
on time every morning He was good
molder-as good as the best of them-but
he was not old enough to be out of his APP
premiership as yet He arose this morn
ing and was on his way as usual to the
Vulcan Iron Works, where he was en-
pl0yed. It's hard on his poor old mother,
as lie was her pet"

SCENE OF THE SHOOTING.

Policemen Obliged 10 Hold the Curious
Crowd in Check.
Intense excitement prevailed around the
scene of the shooting almost Immediately
after the shot was fired.
AS If realizing that serious trouble had
occurred, men ran toward the spot from ali
directions. They were principally working
men ON their way to their days labor. First
street was blocked.
Several men had picked up the body of
young Cogan from the curbstOne where 1t
lay, and, placing 1t on the sidewalk OF
Minna street, fastened for an express
wagon to remove him to the City Receiving
Hospital, as he was yet breathing, although
heavily.
The wagon came from an adjacent corner,
and the young man was placed in 1t. lie
breathed his last, however, before the
wagon had been driven a block away, and
the body was taken to the Morgue, instead
Of to the hospital.
In the meantime Mr.. Kerr and Molder
Clausen had retired into the Occidental
Foundry and a telephone message was sent
to the Southern Police Station to the effect
that there had been a shooting and that
officers had better be sent to the foundry
at once.
Officers Mcguire and Greenan soon ar
rived and placed Kerr under arrest on
charge Of murder. Officers WOest and
Riley were also present soon afterward and
had their hands full in preserving order
among the throngs of persons gathered in
the street.
officer Woest stated that he heard many
threats made among the crowd Of attempt
ing to take the law into their own hands
and lynching Mr.. Kerr if they could get at
him.
Precautions were taken that no violence
should occur A carriage was sent for. and
while the crowd was held back Mr.. Kerr

driven to the City Prison. Mr.. Kerr was
placed in one Of the tanks and Clausen
was taken to the Receivi ng Hospital to
have his injuries dressed.

CRAFT AND GUILD.
Organization of Blacksmiths'
Protective Union.
The Butchers Labor Bureau Unable to Supply
the Demand for Men-0ficers Elected
by the Stationary Engineers.

In response to call, which had been widely
circulated, large number OF blacksmiths gath
cred in Music Hall last night to form union OF
all workers engaged as horse. shoers, blacksmths
and helpers.
The meeting was called to order by W. I. Mar
riott who stated that organization among black
smiths is lOng-ielt want. All other crafts and
guilds are united, and when their interests are
attacked present solid front. The blacksmlths
should unite In order to reap the benefits of Or
ganized labor.
M, NJ. McGlynn, Secretary of the Federated
Trades, followed with short address, in which
he pointed out the necessity of the black smiths
iuauguraling a new course by following in the
footsteps of those crafts which bad organized for
their own protection, and which are already en-
joylng the fruits of union in reduced hours Of
toll and higher wages. He declared that the
Federated Trades would receive the blacksmlths
with open arms aud give them the benefit OF
their advice and protection. Still, If the black.
smiths did not desire to enter the Federated
Trades they need not do so.
w. E. Harrington next addressed the meeting,
to say that he Is union man and had always
been one. He believed the blacksmiths carried
with them great responsibility. IL they were
to stop work all the vehicles In the city would
have to stop travelling, as no horse could stand
without being shod more than three weeks. He
thought the blacksmiths should have OF ganiZed
long ago. But 1t Is not too late now. There are
blacksmiths' unions i'll other cities and they
seem to prosper
The Chairman was asked If he did not think
that the carriage blacksmths and the horse
shoers should form separate ana independent
unions, as their interests were different.
Chairman Marriott replied that the object Is to
organize all blacksmths aud workers in the
iron Industry on a principle broad enough to
cover their different interests. he ques ion is
one OF mutual welfare on the broad plan OF
brotherhood.
No opposition was manifested to the forma-
tiOn OF union. all present being enthusiastically
in favor of organization hout delay.
A roll was then opened and at once slgued by
seyenty-fiye names. The first business trans
acted was The election of W, l. Marriott as tenn
pOrary Chairman and NJ. NJ McGiynn as temper.
airy Secretary.
a committee was next appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws for the new union,
which it was.resolyed 10 call the san Francisco
BackSmlths' Protective Union. This commit
tee represents the various branches OF the iron
industry and consists OF William Clarke, John A.
Jones. John Riley, Stephen Whelan, T. Me-
Glade, Frank White, James Flynn, f. Tustln
and Henry Gallagher.
1t was instructed to have its report ready for
the next meeting 10 be held on Wednesday.

and on account Of his clear-headed ideas
upon matters touching the strike and his
wel-known character for integrity and up
rightness always held the esteem Of both
foundrymen and holders"
Such was the remark of foundryman
who has known Mr.. Kerr for years when
he was speaking of yesterdays affair.
at is to be regretted that the affair oc-
that Mr.. Kerr felt the necessity for acting
as he did. Mr.. Kerr has always been the
most moderate in his dealings with the
strikers, and has never been known TO
speak of them otherwise than respectfully.
1T was in his foundry that the trouble
began last March. Joseph Valentine.
President of the union, was employed
there as a workman for years before the
strike began. What effect this will have
upon the strike from the molders' stand
point it is hard to say. As far as the
foundrymen are concerned, our position
will not, think, be changed"

HIS FORMER EMPLOYERS.
How Young Cogan Was Regarded by
Kremer Bros.

How Young Cogan Was Regarded by
Kremer Bros.
Nicholas and Jacob Kremer are the pro-
prietors of the San Francisco Zinc and
Brass Foundry, 40 Jessie street, almost di-
rectly opposite the residence of the dead
boy and only few hundred yards away
from the fatal spot where young Cogan
fell.
1t was in this foundry that the young
man learned his trade. bow he was re-
garded by his instructors can be best
known by hearing them talk Of his good
qualities. Some idea of their appreciation
of the young man may be had from the fol-
lowing account given by Jacob kremer
shortly after the shooting.
81 feel almost as If one OF my own sons
were gone" he said. II liked that boy. 1t
is now over seven years since he came to
my shop, and from that time until two
months ago he was in my employ continu-
ally. He never drank and seldom smoked.
He could not afford those iuXuries for the
reason that he was unselhsh enough to de-
vote his money to the support OF his old
mother and aged father. / sympathize with
them in their troubles, because he was al
most their only support, the elder son be-
ing away and the other sons not always
working.
About two months ago II laid Cogan off
because business was awful dull, and my
brother and myself could attend to all
orders. l told him as soon as it picked up
l would like him back, because lie was a
good workman. You can understand this
when | tell YOU that he worked ~ it'll me on
the great Marshall statue, which was re-
Gently unveiled in Suffer County. 1t was
seulptured by Marion Wells in honor of the
discovery of gold in California.
AFTER COgan left my employ he eagerly
sought work elsewhere, because, first, he
was not an idle boy and loved to work and
secondly, because there was a small family
depending on him for their daily bread.
That is why he accepted the position as ap-
prentice in the Vulcan Foundry. While he
was with me he always earned 81 day and
was worth it. In strict honesty could not
say one bad thing about the boy"
Nicholas Kremer, the brother and part
ner of Jacob spoke in similar strain re-
garding the unfortunate young man.

The affair until his case is heard in the
Police Court. When he arrived at the City
Prison he was given quarters in the Prison
Hospital
To all appearances he was little troubled
over the killing, and paid more attention to
making the best of the situation and hay
ing his new quarters comfortable. He Sc
lected the little room formerly occupied by
the steward when the place was used for
the Receiving Hospital, and then ordered
bed from outside. This is the APARTMENT
that was given to Mrs. Clara Belle Melon
aid when she had to stay in the forbidding
prison for while on account of the at
tempted shooting of her father-in-law, DR.:
Il. II. Mcdonald, in the Baldwin Hotel
office, about two years ago.
Mr.. Kerr bears mark on his temple,
where he says he was struck before using
the pistol. lie complained of pain in his
head, but otherwise did not appear de-
pressed in spirits, acting like man re,
signed to tile position in which he found
himself SO suddenly placed.

The Killing Described by Two Men Who
Were Present.
William Elliott, pattern maker at Bos-
Wells shop on Main street, said:
81 was going to my work when L saw
Kerr passing the Pacific Iron Works bare
headed. There was a crowd on the street
and l stopped to see what was up. L stood
in First street. opposite the Pacific, and
saw Kerr coming out of his foundry with a
pistol in his hand. Young COgan, whom l
did not know, was about ten feet from me.
Kerr took deliberate aim, first at me and
then at Cugan, who was trying to get away
when the Shot was fired. l saw the boy
run toward the curb and drop. That is all
L know"
John Dillon, who works at the Vulcan
Iron Works No. 2, where the dead man
worked, was seen last night. lie said;
AS l came down l saw three or four
men scrapping across the street from me,
near First. | saw that one got away and
ran toward the Occidental Foundry. L saw
one man go into the Office and come out

A BRoTHER,s EULoGY.
The Dead Boy Supported His Aged
Father and Mother.

The Dead Boy Supported His Aged
Father and Mother.
John Cogan, the eldest brother of the
deceased apprentice, spoke in the highest
terms of his dead brother. He said:
Il defy anybody to say anything bad of
Ed Cogan. He was the best in the family,
and almost the only support of my father
and mother. My father is now too old and
sick to work. AS for myself. l am not al
ways in the city. and cannot always con-
tribute to the support of the others. My
other brothers are not always employed,
one being too young What feel for most
is my mother, whose grief is ontrollable
at the loss of her favorite boy.
Il know that Ed was not doing anything
out of the way when he was shot He had
left the house to 60 to work, and was in
good spirits. He never associated with
rowdies, OF got involved in difficulties on
the street. He had not been gone many
minutes when somebody came running into
the house and told me lie had been shot. !
rushed out at once, and met wagon at the
corner OF First and Jessie streets which
