and found officer Reyes on the Sidewalk
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital;
where ii was found that t&o bullets NAG
struck him, one entering the left cheek
and the other embedded near the rSht

that Reddy had shot him while resisting

mother of the girl Reddy is charged with
assaulting, met Reddy and told him that
before the day was over he would be in
Jail. Mrs. Shattuck attempted to secure
the arrest of Reddy by little plot she
worked up yesterday: She telephoned 70
the Chicago Clock Company, by whom
Reddy was employed as canvasser, and
left an order for some goods to be de-
liYered at her house. Reddy TOOK the
goods that were ordered, put them IN a
wagon and accompanied by another EN-
ploye, drove to Mrs, Shattuck's store IN
Alameda.
As soon as the woman saw her daugh-
ters assailant she denounced him bitter
~ and attempted to hold him in her grasp
until she could turn him over to the po-
lice She struck him several times put
and disappeared. abandoning the morse
and wagon, which the other employe
brought back to Oakland. This expert
ence convinced Reddy that Mrs. ShattucK
had taken steps TO secure his arrest ana
room at Seventh and Market last night,
but was evidently trying to get there
without being noticed when ne met Otn-
Ger Keyes
It is not known who fired the first shot,
but all the six chambers Of Keyes' revol-
yer were empty when he was found on
the sidewalk. The two men We're not
are no evidences of powder marks on
either the face or clothing of Keyes.
AT noon to-day word was received by
the Oakland police that James Reddy had
been arrested at San Jose 1t Was sus-
pected that Reddy had gone in that d.
rection and Chief Fletcher of this city
had telegraphed down there to look out
for him. He was found in store on
West San Fernando street and quietly
submitted to arrest. He acknowledged
charged with serious assault in Ala
media, but he denied all knowledge of
! the SHOOTING. Since last night he has
/ shaved off his mustache, but 1t did not
4 sufficiently alter his appearance to pre-
/ vent some young men with whom he was
acquainted at San Jose from recognize
/ ing him.
/ Reddy is a canvasser for the Chicago
/ Clock Company. He has worked there
/ leaving yesterday afternoon with goods
/ for Mrs. Shattuck. He is a married man
and has two children.
H K. Jackson, one of the employees of
/ the store, says that If Reddy was really
/ the man who shot Reyes, he must have
recently bought gun, because for sew,
/ eral months his revolver has been loaned
/ to Charles Norcross, who is the night
Waterman for the Clock Company.
! Officer Keyes lives In Alameda, where
| he has wife and two. children. Mrs.
Keyes came over to Oakland as soon as
she was informed. of the shooting, and

Jose at GAO tonight with Reddy. The
| prisoner was first taken to the Receiving
/ Hospital, where he was confronted with
/ the injured officer for identification.
At the bedside sat the wife of the dy-
ing man. Keyes was conscious when his
supposed assailant stepped up to the cot,
but was too weak at the time to say
whether not Reddy is the man.
Later, however, Reyes rallied sufficiently
to whisper to Steward Tobin that That
was the man, but his mustache is shaved
off, Then he closed his eyes again and
at a late hour was still resting apparent
ly easy. The accused man was taken to
the City Prison but was not booked. To
Detective Holland and Marshal Rogers he
tells a story that seems plausible on its
face If he can prove its truth he can es-
tablish an alibi. He clearly denies any
connection with the shooting affair, but
frankly confesses his guilt as to the
charge of criminal assault on young
girl.
