An Alleged Attempt MADE Upon His
Life-s. J. Morris il Placed
Under ArreAt.


Chicago, Oct. 20.-S. /. Morris was
arrested Friday evening for an al
legged attempt upon the life of John
w. Gates, ex-president of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Co. When searched
at the police station two large re-
volvers were found in his pockets. 1t
Is asserted that Morris also had de-
signs upon the life of w. j. Crimson.
general manager of the Kansas City
& Southern railroad, whom Morris,
1t is alleged, had enticed to this city
by means of a telegram purporting
to have been signed by Gates, but
which he himself had sent. Manager
Crimson arrived at the Grand Pacific
hotel Friday in accordance with the
appointment made in the telegram.
Failing to find Mr.. Gates, he called
upon him in his Office in the Rookery
building.
Morris Originated the Scheme.
After hasty consultation the two
men decided that Morris originated
the scheme, both having received
threatening letters from him.
Morris was captured near the of
fees of the, Illinois Steel Co., in the
.Rookery building. He was formerly
in the employ of Gates, and maintains
that the latter owes him $4,000.
Tenants of the Rookery are said to
have heard the prisoner making
threats to kill Mr.. Gates, and the two
men refrained from going to luncheon
at the Grand Pacific, where, accord
ing to the telegram, they were to have
met.
His Plans Frustrated.
Instead, the attorneys for Mr..
Gates, with offices in the same build
ing, were notified, and they at once
dispatched messenger to detective
headquarters and asked Capt. Cole
rams assistance. When taken into the
chief of detectives Office Morris could
apparently give no ineligible expla-
nation of the affair, and refused TO as
sign any reason for being in the pos
session of the two revolvers.
Gates is a northumberland, and re-
turned but a short time since from
Europe, where he spent the summer.
Threatened to XIII Gates.
Morris went to the Rookery build
ing during the afternoon and entered
the Office of j. X. Knapp, general at
torney for the Illinois Steel Co. He
Immediately began talking excitedly
and drawing a revolver leveled it at
Mr.. Knapp. ..'' '
Spectators threw Morris out of the
office and as he went down the cor
ridor he shouted that he would kill
Gates and Brimson before he left the
building. Mr.. Knapp Immediately no
titled Gates and Crimson.
