FATALLY SHOT HIS FRIEND.
Sal00nkeerer william LaSawickaS Re-
ceiveS a Bullet in the Groin.
JOHN MITCHELL FIRED THE SHOT
He Breaks Down with Grief and the Victim
Exonerates Him-How the Shooting oc-
cured-An Operation Shows Shock
ing Injury by the Bullet.


William Lasawickas, Lithuanian, who
keeps a saloon at the corner of Centre and
Chestnut streets, is lying at the point Of
death mt his home there, being victim of
accidental shooting at the hands of John
Mitchell, also Lithuanian. At late hour
this afternoon Lasawickas appeared to be
sinking fast.
ltappcars that at about one o'clock Satur-
day morning fight started in the saloon and
Mitchell who is Lusawicka's bartender ran
out to give an alarm. To effectively do this
and attract the attention of the police he
stood in the middle Of the street and dis
charged revolver into the air three times.
The fourth cartridge refused to explode.
Mitchell went back to the saloon with
the intention of reloading the revolver. He
first tried to learn why the fourth cartridge
did not explode and in doing this pulled the
trigger several times suddenly there was a
report and Lasawickas, who stood in front Of
Mitchell, sank to the floor shot in the groin
DR.. w. n. Stein was called and he pro-
nounccd the wound probably fatal one.
Mitchell was taken into custody by Chief Of
Police Tosh and placed in the lookup. Nit
chcll paced to and fro in his cell for hours
weeping bitterly and expressing regret
that he had not killed himself instead
OF shooting Lasawickas, whom he
considered his best friend. Mitchell was
taken before the victim Saturday morning
at about eleven o'clock. Chief Tosh, Coun-
Gilman d. X. James and HERALD reporter
were present. Lasawickas, who can speak
good English, said to Chief Tosh, Let that
man go. | don't want to see him locked up
for an hour. 1t was an accident and 1 know
he wouldn't hurt me for any amount Of
money. We have always been good friends. -
Mitchell sat at the bed side weeping as one
heartbroken. Lasawickas then told the
story Of the shooting as already given and as
told by N t'hell. Chief Tosh took the
prisoner before Justice Williams, who fixed

They have assured him that they have Il
high regard for him, and that it win be
disagreeable to them to have to vote
against him, but the situation is such that
they must have silver man to make the
first speech Of the convention
But Ex-Governor Russell, William c.
Whitney and other leaders We're strong in
their Judgment that there should be %
fight on this issue and that AIr Hill
should stand. So far convinced were the
easterners of this thnt il was said i'm the
early evening that Hill would stand, and
that he had begun preparing an address
that would be delivered from the floor if
not from the platform. This last state
ment developed an interesting phase that
may mean lively row in the convention.
"The gold men shall not speak, was the
cry Of the rank and file of the silver men
with the exception Of Jones, Blackburn
and Mclean. These hitter said that the
convention should be fair in its treatment
and fairness, 50 far as the gold standard
men are concerned, should mean that Rus
sell, Fellows Hill and Gray should be al
lowed 60 talk.
Senator Hill has advised all those who
have called upon him to pursue cOnsery-
ative course. He has expressed the belief
that if the convention adopts a silver plat
form that there will surely be a bolt and
he thinks that if conservatism is shown
that the bolt will be much reduced. 1t is
understood that Senator Hill believes that
in case the convention should sustain the
national committee in the selection of him
self for temporary chairman that the bolt
from New York state and possibly some
other sections Of the east will be greatly
minimized. The silver men feel assured
that Senator Hill will not bolt, but under
the instructions of the Democratic state

De LONE CENSURED
THE SPANISH MINISTER'S STATE
MENT DISCUSSED.

Washington, March 1.-THE Cuban
question continues drawing card in
the senate. AS soon as the journal
was read, Mr.. Lodge rep., Mass) rose
to a question OF personal privilege. He
said he had read an interview attribut-
ed to Minister Dupuy de Lone in ref
erence to the utteranceS of Senator
Lodge, calling into question the accur-
acy of the translation of statements
attributed to Gen. Weyler in which the
latter declared he would "eXterminate"
the insurgents He said literal rem
dering of Weyler's language would be
that he would clean out large insur-
gent bands" and "eXterminate" small
ones He said it was not proper for a
representative Of foreign power to
communicate except through the state
department, and added a most en-
phatic protest against public comment
of any diplomatic representative on
the debates in congress.
The debate continued some time. Mr.
Chandler (rep., n. HD thought the
Spanish minister guilty of improperly
and Mr. Hale rep, Mc) who main
tanned that senatorial privilege and
perrogatiVe should not be strained to
close the mouth of the Spanish minis
ter. Mr., Lodge said the discussion
over the utterance of foreign repre-
sentative was unseemly. He protested
that the matter had not been brought
into the senate by him, and that he
had shown false, the Spanish minister's
statement that he CMr. Lodge had
been imposed upon.
