Gensler, who telephoned for the mounted
police and Sutor was sent home in a hack.
He is married and lives at No. 1902 Ave-
nue. ID, near the corner of Tenth street.
After the shooting, which seems to have
been done with common Smith and
Wesson No. 3s revolver, Gensler
ran down town, got in hack and drove
to Sheriff McCall's residence, corner Ma
con and North Flores streets, and sur
rendered himself. He was locked up in
the county jail and is there until his pre-
liminary examination takes place, TO de-
termine his chances for bond.
Sutor was shot just to the side OF the
stomach, the ball cutting through and
lodging near or against the vertebr9: III

were four fired) cut long hole in the top Of
his derby hat. He bled profuSely. The
shooting occurred about o'clock. Early
in the evening and until about IL, Mr..
Sutor had been rehearsing with the
Beethoven Maennerchor at SchOlz's hal,
in preparation for the Galveston Saenger-
fest. AS was usual, he left Scholz's about
10 minutes past IL, In company with
friend named Hansel, a painter with
whom he had usually walked home, Han
sci living near the Sunset rail-
way depot on Austin ST. Mrs. Sutor says
she heard her husband at the front
gate at 1890 talking to some one, and
soon all was quiet and the next time she
awoke, a hack stopped at her door and
her wounded husband was brought in.
GenSler was seen by LIGHT reporter at
the county Jail this morning. He was

in regard to the shooting that he
did not know Sutor before last
night, but his wife had told him that
SutOr had several times made advances
of an amorous nature toward her, and on
one occasion had offered her sum OF
money. He had also, he said. several
nights called at the house. When he

gave him free lodging and board when he
first came to the city some years ago, and

day evening for several hours, while the
Maennerchor was rehearsing upstairs and

to the name of every member who came
downstairs, asking if that was Sutor.
He was not drinking except an occasional
