by McCauley was that of peacenaker.
The actor was member of the Bartlett ~
May Theatrical Co.., which played "a
Woman in the Case'' here last night, his
role being that of "Mr. Slick, the lawyer. y
Yesterday morning, McCauley and three
of his companions, one of !, whom was
Thomas Finn of Pittsburg, entered Second
Avenue cafe
They ordered some wine, and we're drink
ing when Miss Dorsey Brown entered and
sat down OF table near them. The gentle
men asked her to join them, aud she went
over to their table. The crowd was chatting
good naturally when Pearl Newman, a
friend OF the young woman, entered.
join him at another table. Newman seemed
much wrought up, and, after sitting few
minutes, picked up a glass and remarked
that he would clean out the house.
He hurled the glass at the crowd of actors
1t struck Finn glaucing blow on the head
and crashed ON through plate glass mirror.
The crowd of young luen all arose hur-
riedly. and McCaDley began pleading with
the infuriated Newman not to make trouble.
Newman, at McCuuley's words, drew his
revolver and fred at him. The bullet en-
tered McCanley's left, side, piercing the
heart. He fell to the floor and expired in
stantly. .-D
Before the police reached the scene, New
man had escaped, and was seen running
towards the Ohio River, only few blocks
away. by the time the police reached the
levee, Newman was half way across the Ohio
River. More than 20 shots were fired at
him. but he never ceased rowing, and
reached the Ohio shore in safety and took
to the woodlands. a dozen officers have
been searching for him all day, but he is
yet at large. Chauncey Hicks, a young man
who entered the cafe with Newman has been
placed under arrest as an accomplish in the
crime. and is now in Jail.

had not been in Philadelphia for over
two years. Nothing is known of his
relatives except that bis vito lives in
