TAXES DEADLY revenge.
Terrible Tragedy Enacted in the
Offices of Firm of New
York Lawyers.
FORMER BUSINESS PARTNERS QUARREL
One of Them, William C. Turner, Is
Charged with Defalcation and liz
Pressed for Settlement-Shoots His
Two Accuscrs Dead, and Takes His
Own Life.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Using new
automatic magazine pistol, William C.
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 presi-
dent, and then killed himself with the
same weapon. A second revolver, load
ed in every chamber, was found in Tur-
ner's pocket, 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
tragedy occurred in the offices of the
law firm of Cantor, Adams & 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,
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
make a partial settlement, and he was
asked for certified check. 81 have it,"
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 a few moments. A num-
Der of other persons who were in the
room, clerks and members of the firm,
fled in 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 into the room and found the
three bodies.
Was n Defaulter.
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-
aiming the books of the concern that
there was shortage of IS, 100 in Tur-
ner's accounts. Lawyers were en-
ployed by both parties, and it was fin
ally agreed to accept s2,7oo and give
Turner release il full. Tuesday night
it was agreed that the settlement
should take place in the offices of Gan
tor, Adams & Mcintyre Friday at II
O'Clock.
On Turner's corpse the coroner also
found certified check for $1,000.
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 sun 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

to criticise his conduct He has often
declared himself, that his life and
character were both at stake, and
would probably have been lost, had he
not at that supremacy critical moment
forgotten the officer and asserted the
man. To have ordered the offenders
under arrest would have created
formidable mutiny; to have tried and
punished them would have been i'm
possible. They could scarcely be call

offered to submit their differences to
a court of any sort, it would have
been regarded as an act of personal
pusiI1animity, and his efficiency would
have been gone forever.
