Death.

eral assembly, which convenes in
January, will be asked to make kid
mapping for ransom punishable by

be amended so as to make liable to
the gallows anyone who may commit
similar crimes in this state. Already
three representatives from Chicago
districts are engaged in drafting bills
to be presented to this end.
The present law prescribes penal
ty Of five years imrisonment, or a

case of children under 10 years Of age,
when life Imprisonment may be the
penalty.
Both democratic and republican
members Of the new general assembly

adopted by unanimous vote.

WAR DEPARTMENT AUDITOR KILLED
Murdered by Drink Frenzied Clerk Who Fancied
He Had Grie,xg;s,ans,S5s Against Him for
a;ztsd ;zsaIist1s,n at 1sSn in His Salary.
a

Washington, Dec. 22-Frank H.
Morris of Ohio, auditor of the war
department., was shot and killed about
2:1O this afternoon by Samuel Nc
Donald, also of Ohio, recentlyl dis
bursting clerk of the treasury, in the
formers Office at the Winder building
on Seventeenth street.
Macdonald afterward shot himself
and also slashed his throat with a
penknife.
Auditor Morris was closeted alone
with Macdonald when the shooting
occurred and in trying to make his
escape Macdonald also assaulted the
watchman, Thomas Cusick, with the
butt of his revolver. He was arrested
while leaving the building. When
the officers arrested him he was heard
to exclaim: IT did it. I know I'm
done for
An eye witness to the latter part Of
the encounter between the two men
stated that upon hearing the sound of
the shots he ran into the auditor 8
Office, which he had just left. Upon
entering the room he saw two men
struggling in each others arms, Mac
Donald holdings his revolver close up
to Morris breast Macdonald, after
firing, again attempted to get out of
the room, but encountered number
of clerks and employees whom the
sound of the firing had brought to the
doors, and then turned and fred
again. This was thought to have been
the fatal shot.
Those who know Macdonald said he
had grievance against Morris, who
he claimed was responsible for having
his pay reduced. Others who know
him say that they could not attribute
his deed to anything but a diseased
brain from over indulgence in liquor.
Frank H. Morris was a native of
Cleveland, O. He was 40 years of age
and leaves widow and two sons.
He entered the government service at
the beginning of the present admins
tration as auditor for the navy depart
ment. During the first two years he
made an exceptionally good record for
efficiency, bringing the delayed work
up to date and putting the Office in a
better shape than ever before.
Macdonald is brother Of VIM. H.
MacD Donald. the we'll known baritone
singer of the Bostonians, who is said
to have educated him for the operatic
stage. He is unmarried, 58 years of

PLEA THAT FAILED.
Condscate Wardrobe Of Woman Who
Es Helped Defend, Pekin.

New York, Dec. 22-Mary Condit-
Smiths baggage was retained by the
customs authorities when it was taken
from the American line steamer st.
Louis today and sent to the apprais-
er's stores.
Miss Condit-Smith explained that
she had lost all her clothing in the siege
of Pekin and that she had purchased a
new wardrobe while i'll Paris.
She pleaded that as her clothing
had been lost in the defense of Pekin
she was entitled to bring into this
country that which she had purchased
abroad. Deputy Collector Berriman
and Deputy Surveyor Bowling said,
however, that it was not for them to
interpret the law and that they, there
fore, would have to confiscate her
trunks and baggage.

also is from Ohio and has been in the
government service since soon after
the civil war. In 1869 he was re-
moved from his position as chief Of
division in the Office of the commits
sioner of customs. In 1890 he was
reappointed clerk in the Office of the
auditor for the war depar rtment. In
1897 he was made disbursing officer III
that Office in addition to his other du.
ties, receiving in all So, 900 year.
In February, 1900, his accounts
were found short 1000 and upon be-
ing required to make explanation he
claimed that on one occasion he had
forgotten to close his safe on leaving
his office and that it had been robbed
of 81, 1000. He produced evidence
which tended to exonerate him from
the charge of taking the money and as
he Immediately made good the amount
nothing further was done, except to re-
duce his salary to 81, 400 and transfer
him to the office of the auditor of the
postoffice department., where he was
employed at the time Of the tragedy.
It is stated that Macdonald had
been hard drinker at times and that
many Of his misfortunes can be traced
to this source.
Macdonald was removed to the
emergency hospital, where the doctors
have been busily engaged in trying to
save his life. He was bleeding pro-
fusely from the gashes he had made
across his throat, but it was found on
examination that the jugular vein
had not been pierced and that the
wound was not likely to endanger his
life.
A bullet wound in the breast proved
to be more serious. The bullet en-
tered the left breast below the heart
and lodged in the back between the
ribs. An operation was performed
and the ball removed. The doctors
were hopeful that the man would pull
through unless blood poisoning or
other unlocked for symptoms de-
veloped. ,..ses
While Macdonald was in the hands
of surgeons a policeman sat near him
and kept him under constant sur
veillance. Technically he is under
arrest and in the custody of the po-
lice, but while the fight for his life is
going on there will be no restraint
except surveillance.
Owing to the critical nature of his
wounds the doctors have not permitted
him to be seen for the purpose Of Civ
ing Q statement.
