CASHIER AND TELLER DEAD
Double Tragedy in the Third Ma.
tiOnal Bank of Columbus, Ga.
Capt. Murphy, While Temporarily Insane,
shoots p. It. Schutze and Then Ends
Ills Own Life, Both Men
Dying Instantly.

| Special to The Post
Columbus. Ga, Jan. 1s-Capt. ]. W.
! Murphy, cashier of the Third National
Bank, Of this city, shot and instantly kill
ed the paying teller, Alderman j. w
SChusze this morning. and then blew out
his own brains.
There was not nor had there ever teen
any i'll feeling between Capt Murphy ard
Mr. Shuttle, and very few people knew
/ that Capt. Murphy had been suffering at
times from mental alteration. Capt. Muir
ply had gradually grown worse, and ne
was unusually depressed this morning
He came 10 the bank early, and talked
for over an hour with President G. Gun
by Jordan. During this conversation, it
was decided that Mr. Murphy was 10 ac-
company Mr.. Jordan to Atlanta this aft
erLCon. Capt Murphy, after leaving Mr..
Jordan. started for the rear Of the bank.
He stopped at Mr.. ShutZe's desk, and
made a jocular remark. As Capt. Muir
ply reached the directors private room,
he turned and beckOned Mr.. Schultz TO
follow him. Mr.. Schultz responded, and
both gentlemen disappeared into the pri-
vate room, and the key was heard to turn
in the lock- In about two minutes three
shots were heard in the room.
President torCan had a key TO the out
side or street door of the directors room
and gained an entrance. The sight that
met his eyes was a horrible one. Mr.
Shuttle was sitting in a chair by his type
writer. his left hand in an open drawer
clutching a sheet of writing paper, his
head thrown back, with a bullet hole in
his temple and the brains oozing out of
The wound. About five feet from Mr..
Shuttle lay Capt. Murphy, face downward,
with two bullet holes through the roof of
his mouth, and his life blood ooZing away.
From Mir. ShutZe's position it is evident
that he had no forewarning of what was
10 happen. Since Capt Murphy had been
in feeble health it was Mr.. Shutze's Gus
tom TO write all of his letters for him,
and the superstition is that when the two
entered the room it was with the intention
of attending to some correspondence. Mr..
Shuttle had taken seat before his type
writer desk. opened the drawer to his left
and was i'm the act of removing a sheet of
paper from the drawer when Capt Muir
ply fired a bullet from a .3S-caliber re-
Volver into his right temple In an instant
after firing the shot into Mr.. ShutZeS
braip Capt Murphy placed the revolver in
side of his own mouth and fired two shots,
tearing away the roof of his mouth and
causing instant death.
Capt. Murphy was formerly assistant
State treasurer. and one of the best
known politicians in the State Mr.. Shuttle
was a member of the aldermanic board of
Columbus. Both men leave families.

Two bullets hit Kemptcn, one in the law

The safe on which the burglars were

money was in another safe. The Farnums-

SAMOAN TREATY RECALLED.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Thinks Ad.
ministrati0n Is Too Previous.

! In Wednesdays executive session OF the
Senate Senator Jones, of Arkansas, moved
| 10 reconsider the vote by which the Sa-
moan treaty was ratified on Tuesday. He
based his motion upon a statement which,
| ne said, he had seen in the press. to the
effect that the American flag had already
| been run up OF the Island of Tutuila IL
this report was true he thought the Sem
ate should know of the fact and have an
| opportunity 10 deal with IL in connection
with the treaty. Senator FRYE replied
that the report 10 which Senator Jones
referred was without foundation M ac-
| ton was taken upon the motion. bur IL
was decided TO recall the treaty, which
had been forwarded 10 the President. with
notice Of the Senate's favorable action
upon il.
The Senate also received the favorable
report OF the Committee on Foreign Re
| lations upon the eXtraditiOn treaties with
Peru and Chile. the boundary treaty with
Mexico. and The Hague peace treaty.
The Navy Department is pressing vigor-
ously the construction Of the coaling s,a-
ton in the harbor Of Pago-Pago
Admiral Bradford. chief OF the equip

to this subject Some difficulty was ex-
perienced in securing suitable timber for

Capt TIlley,' Of the Abarenda- TO go
abroad for the piling. and he picked up
what he needed In New Zealand.
While the President has not recently
considered the subject of a government
for the island. il was some time ago de-
elded that IL the naval goyernorship Of
Capt Leary in Guam was a success
something Of the same sort would be
adopted for the island Of Tutuila. 50 far
capt Isary's administration while
unique IN some respects, has given excel
lent satisfaction. Therefore pending ac-
