nm of Them, William C. Turner, Is
Charged with DefaIcatiOh ana Is
Pressed for SettIement-ShOots His
Two Accusers Dead, and Takes His
Own Life.

New York, Oct. 1s.--Using a new
automatic magazine pistol, William {.
Turner, former president and treas
urer Of the Climax Bottling company,
to-day shot and killed w. j. Mallard,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany. and Robert Hamilton, its presl-
dent, and then killed himself with the
same weapon. A second revolver, load
ed in every chamber, was found IN Iur-
ner's rocket, and it is believed he
planned to take more lives than he did.
The shooting was caused by quarrel
between the three men over an alleged
shortage in Turner's accounts. The
ira gedy occurred j: the offices of the
law firm Of Canter, ADAMS d Mcintyre,
in the heart of the Wall street district,
during the busy noon hour. turner
who was As years Old and lived at Mt.
Vernon, n. Y, suburb of this city,
was cousin of Gov. Odell, of this state,
and the head of the law firm in whose
offices the shooting occurred, IS
President Cantor, of the borough OF
Manhattan. Soon after the shots rang
out in the office building a wild rumor
was started that the borough president
had been killed.
The three men met in the law offices
by appointment IL allow Turner to
make partial settlement, and he was
asked for a certified check. Il have 1T,
he said, and then he closed the door of
the room. An instant later he drew
a revolver and began firing. Mallard
FELL shot through the heart, and Ham,
ilton lived only few nome nts. A num-
Der of other persons who were in the
room, clerks and members of the firm,
fed in a panic After killing Hamilton
and Mallard, Turner shot himself in the
head. Some moments later, hearing no
more shots, the persons who fled VEN
tured back int o the room and found the
three bodies.
Was a DefauIter.
Turner retired as president of the
Climax Bottling company last April,
when he was bought out by Hamilton.
After the sale it was discovered in ex-
amining the books of the concern that
there was a shortage of $500 in Tur-
ner's accounts. Lawyers were en-
ployed by both parties, and it was fin
ally agreed to accept $4,000 and give
Turner a release in full. Tuesday night
it was agreed that the settlement
should take place in the offices of Gan
tor, Adams & Mcintyre Friday at IL
O'Clock.
On Turner's corpse the coroner also
found certified check for $2,700.
The latter is regarded as throwing
a peculiar light on the case, for it is
thought to indicate that Turner went
to the offices with the probable in
tention of paying the sum of money
which was to have settled the diff
Guilty. If he did intend to pay, it is
argued, he changed his mind sudden
ly and decided to kill.
