FATHER Is SILENT.
VIII Not Discuss the Affair on Ac-
count OF Legal Reasons.

Colonel M. M. Kaighn, father OF Roy
kaighn, stated this afternoon that the
morning papers had quoted him, the
boy and Miss Coates as SAYING some
things they never gave uftefance TO.
and the reports generally were mac
curate In many respects. Col. Kaighn
said when asked for his opinion as to
the bottom facts In the motive for
shooting Haynes, that he could not do
so for purely legal reasons, az present
but that they would no doia [ be
brought out either at the hearing, IL
after consultation with counsel ID was
deemed advisable to bring out all the
evidence at the preliminary hearing, or
not until the trial came off.
Col kaighn said the boy had unbe-
known to himself been using doleteri-
Gus drugs for the past year. The boy
had come home often at night, when
from the Wild expression and nervous
actions II seemed evident that ne was
addicted to the use of drugs. but when
questioned closely, Roy invariably de-
MED having used anything OF the kind
No counsel had as yet been secured,
and the boy was not yet sufficiently
out Of the influence of the drugs to give
an intelligent answer to questions, Col
Kaighn said Roy acted In the first place
from high motives, but his condition
led him to let his ideas run wild and
upset him. AS to Haynes remark that
he had got only his just deserts, the
colonel said Haynes had repeated tina;
several times and before him. The
colonel said Haynes was now full of
hope and expected to live. He further
stated that Haynes had been acqualnt-
ed with Miss Coates for u year. and
their acquaintance was perfectly honor
able

PENETRATED THE LIVER.
Bullet Passed Through Both Lobcs
Says IL Was His Fault.

The operation upon Haynes was per-
formed late yesterday afternoon by
Drs. Root and Niles and the bullet was
removed with but little difficulty. 1t
was located between the tenth and
eleventh ribs little TO the right OF the
spine, The physicians say that II en-
tered, as stated by the News" last
evening, the left side just below the
heart. Its course then was through
the abdomen and both lobes OF the
liver. Although the intestines were
not penetrated, the physicians say that
the wounded man has only one chance
In ten for recovery,
During the operation, Col. Kalghn
and a number Of Haynes personal
friends called at the hospital. Miss
Coates also called TO see the patient but
Col. Kaighn Immediately escorted her
home.
Fearing the man might die sooner
than expected, Assistant County Attor-
ney Loofbourow accompanied by Ser
geant Hempel, of the police force, went
TO the hospital Cor the purpose OF taxi
ing an antemortem statement, but the
physicians In charge said the patient
was under the influence OF an anaes-
thetlc and could not be seen.
The visit was repeated when II be-
came known that the wounded man had
rallied somewhat, but the officers were
again denied admittance. II YVES feared
if he talked II might endanger his con-
dition and spoil what chances he had
for recovery.
Last night, after recovering fully
from the effects of the opiate. Haynes
asked to see Col. Kaighn. The latter
was QUICKLY summoned and the two
friends shook hands
After looking az each other In silence
for a moment, Haynes said: Colonel.
1t was my fault" lie started to say
something else but the attendants pre-
vented IT,

asked.

The statement that the incident" Of
Monday night led up TO the trouble on

surrounds the case, because the young
man was heard to remark after he
fired the shot. II have been laying for

During the brief conversation he had
with his father In Chief Hiltons office
yesterday afternoon he said he got
some money from home. This explains
how he came to have the S54 taken from

shooting was found, upon examination,
to be fully loaded with the exception
Of one chamber which contained
blank cartridge. Only one shot had
been fired.
He purchased the revolver yesterday
