AS will be readily believed, T. 3.
Sturges, the head of the Municipal

respects.
1t is unnecessary to cite instances
of the past that go to prove this. the
general public will accept the bare
statement. His latest unordinary ac-
ton. however. is verging on the unique.
it probably is unique. He is dcfepd-
ant in a case that he is extremely
anxious to win. yet refuses to win it
on technicality, and declares on
the side that if he does win he Will
not allow himself to profit by the
winning.
The case Is that of the city of Scran-
ton against +. r. Sturges. 1t Is an
action to recover the cost of paving
in front of Mr. Sturgcs' property on
North Washington avenue, between
Gibson street and Electric avenue. He
opposed the payment on the ground
that the paving company had not full
filed it's contract and succeeded in
having the liens stricken off by show
ing them to be defective in that his

DUTY IN FIRING-STORY ABOUT
WALSIIS DEATH.

Albany. May 16.-One of the curious stories
OF the night is that surgeons who attended
William NJ Walsh say that Walsh was struck
by a shot from a revolver The only man on the
car who had a revolver was Lieutenant Wilson,
who says that he saw q man throw a brick and
fired at him He is positive he hit the man.
1t was Lieutenant Wilson. of Company, who
gave the fatal order 10 fire. and his action has
received the approval Of his superiors for an
investigation by high military officials held to-
night. exonerated him from blame.
According to Wilson's statement he fired at
and hit man who struck him with stone.
The official investigation was made by Colonel
Barnes, who took the statements of Wilson and
his men. the car crew and several witnesses.
After hearing what they had to say. Colonel
Barnes. with Lieutenant-C Colonel Brady. held
a conference with Generals Roe and oliver.
After the conference General Roe said:
Lieutenant Wilson has been exOnerated from
any blame In connection with the consequences
of his act 1t is regrettable that innocent men
were shot. but that was unavoidable. The in
quiry showed that mob of probably one thou
sand men threatening this car. They were
stoning 1t and running after It. one stone
struck the motorman and cut his face. Another
hit Lieutenant Wilson. The latter drew MS re-
volver and shot the man who struck hlIn ana
at the same time ordered his men TO fire. He
was obeying his orders and did his duty. We
are here to protect property from destruction by
mob violence. and We propose TO DO So Ihe
Mayor of Albany has warned the citizens or
Albany 10 keep off the streets. and If they VIII
continue to let their curiosity take them into
disorderly crowds they must accept the conse-
quences. We are all sincerely sorry for Ar.
Smith and Mr. Walsh. but our men are not TO
be blamed for their fate.
The shooting of Smith and Walsh had very
depressing effect upon the members of the I'D
Regiment. and tonight when stones were
hurled at the picket men around the Quail-st-
barn they did not fire into the dark. Two pri-
Yates were hit and hurt, but they did not care
to take a chance by firing. IL was held by the
officers and men generally that the order 10
fire was entirely justified. but there was general
regret at the consequences of the yOHey. NO
attempt was made TO cars after nightfaH
