AT A NEW YEARS EVE PARTY
nY ONE OF THE Acrnr ,sEs.
How ibr Dreadful Accident Happen
rd.-Condition of tie rnfor,u.
nate Girl.

San FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 1.-The
old year was closed last night by a
unique nni terrible tragedy by which
Sydney McCay,a young lawyer, aged
80, lost hls life, and Miss Grace King,
aged 10, was rendered unconscious. A
patty Of fifty irienda assembled last
night at McCsy's house on Guerreao
street TO watch the old year out and
the new year In. Tho feature OF the
evenings entertainment was the pro.
duction OF q short play wilton by
McCay aud performed by amateurs.
The plot Of the play was the betrayal
Of band OF Russian nihillats 10y one
OF thor number. This nihiliats dis.
covered their traitor and condemned
her 10 death. They decided by lot who
should perform the execution, aud the
number fell TO the character portrayed
by McCRy. Miss King played the
part OF n traitor. She was given tho
choice Of being killed or etabblng hot-
clfnnd chose the latter alternative.
McCay handed her n dagger which
had been IN his family fotmany years.
In the play the girl, Instead Of killing
herself was to stab her executioncr,
and as Miss King received the
knife she reached forward 10 tou1h
MrCay on the arm with the knife.
At the same instant McCay started
towards the girl when she stumbled
and, falling forward with tue dag ger
In her hand, drove II through McCsy's
heart. McCay showed wonderiul
vitality and presence OF mind. He
walked into the next room and asked
Tor doctor and then fell dead.
She knew there had been nn accident
Of some kind, but did not know McCay
was killed. She was taken home, and
afterwards, on the advice OF friends,
gave herself up 10 the police. She was
taken 70 the city prison ut O'Clock In
the morning, ana when she entered
the prison tainted, and has since re-
manned unconscious. This morning
McCay's two brothers secured her re.
lease by giving bail for $4,000 for her
appearance. The girl was then taken
home, and Ia In critical condition.
The accident Is explained by the
fact that recently Miss King suffered
from sprained ankle, and she had
been using crutohcs TO walk with, but
had laid them aside to practice her
part In tho play. As she made u
motion 10 stab McCay she rested her
weight on the weak foot; II gave way
aud she fell forward.
