CHICAGO, Dec. 25 - The spirit of
"Peace on earth, good will to men, was
not universal in Chicago today. 1t may
have guided the actions of the large
majority, but there was minority
which held 10 a different doctrine,
and which had the courage to put
its convictions INTO deeds Of blood. In
the morgue lie the bodies of two men
who have sought i'll another world
the peace they failed to find in
this. In the county hospital, slowly
gasping his life away, lies man who
endeavored to enforce his arguments
with an axe. and who succumbed to a
ball from the revolver of his W0uld-be
victim. In another ward of the same
institution is another man, bruised and
battered so badly that Christmas will
be a vivid recollection Tor the rest of
his natural life, and behind the bars
of prison cell is still an
other, cOlored man. who the good
influences of the Christmas time led to
make unWiSe revelations, and he was
betrayed where he had most right to eX-
pect that good will to man would be
found-he trusted in the charity of the
church, and the church thrust him into
the outer darkness, where policemen
sit on high. He was anxious to
be admitted to the fold, and in
showing up the stains upon his fleece,
he confessed to Il murder done years
ago in Paris, France. His wool was
Rdjudged to be of too somber hue
10 be ceansed by the church, and the
officers of the law will now assist the
eOntrite sinner to prove his penitence
Dy working out an eXDlatiOn.
John r. Egan, an Englishman, was
The first OF those enumerated to put his
principles into practice. He went

Anthony Layelle was the third man to

thfs morning, and called upon his step
Ross made no reply, and Layelle III
gaded the bedroom with an ak. A fight
followed, and Lavelle was fatally shot.
Ross, who claims TO have acted i'll self
defense, was arrested.
Steffen o. Albertine is the bruised
and battered man 1.-THE county hospital.
Early this morning he saw TWO men in
the store of his Ell ployer and at once
began to shoot, with the result of lodg-

realized that he was in the busi-
ness of killing Pinkerton men he
stopped firing, gave up his pistol,
and, as nc says, was Immediately ham
mered almost into insensibilitv by the
men to whom he surrendered and by
the police officers VINO came i'll later.
Both the police and the PlnkertonS say
that Albertine was thief and that he
began shooting when he was placed
under arrest. They also deny having
beaten him, but he is Ill the
hospital for all of that. Alpini, the en-
ploVer of Albertlne, says that he is not
n thief and that he should have killed
the Pinkerton men, who forced their
way into a building where they had nc
right TO be. He also says that he will
take out warrants for the arrest OF
Iiet. Clark, whose injury is not serious,
and for Capt Doley OF the Pinkertons.
James Williams, twenty-five years OF
age. is the colored man who sought sal

law to work it out for himself. He came
