NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER SHOT
Trouble Grew Out of a Story in

Young Woman-Two Men Took It
Upon Themselves to Chastise the
Editor-After Pummeling Him One
of Them Shot at the Editor Several
Times-Both AssaiIants Were Ar

San Francisco, Sept Aired Mar
riott, the publisher of the San Fran
cisco News Letter, was shot three
times and seriously wounded at his
home last night. His assailants were
Thomas Williams, Jr, president of the
California Jockey club, and Truxton
Beale. former United States minister
to Persia and Greece and well known
clubman Of this city. Neither will say
who did the shooting, but Marriott says
it was Williams.
The following account Of the shoot
ing was given by Marriott before he
was put under anaesthetics at the hos
pital: An appointment was made by
telephone for a meeting by Truxton
Beale. About 9 O'Clock Beale and Will
llamS came to the club and answered
the door myself. When reaching to
take their hats Beale struck me heavy
blow in the face and made another
slash at me with his fist. Smash him.

as the blow on the forehead almost
blinded me. I then started upstairs
and Williams began shooting"
Williams said: ssWe considered it
a q y,
fishing an article last week rejecting
on the reputation of young lady"
Beale said that. although the ls.dy's
name was not mentioned, her identity
was so plainly Indicated that he felt
bound to resent the publication. Aftes
the shooting Williams and Beale went
to the Pacific Union club, where they
were placed under arrest.
Marriott wounds it is thought. will
not result fatally Williams and Bea1e
were released on $4,000 bonds each

PAY ENVELOPES MISSING
Employees Had Long Faces When Reg
ular Pay Day Was Missed.


Some apprehension was felt among
the employees OF the Matthews & Will
lard Co yesterday because of the alb
sence of the weekly trip of the pay
master This absence was not ex-
ceptional, however, for it was felt in
the clock factory and one or two other
concerns. Regarding the Matthews
& Willard concern, matters are going
along as they were before they made
their appearance in court. The con-
Germ is practically backed by the Sco-
will company, Notwithstanding the ac-
tion Of Judge Roraback in the super
iOr court in Winsted last week in re-
fusing to dissolve the injunction which
forbade the majority of the stock
holders from transferring the property
to the Scovill company The reason
for the COURTS refusal to dissolve the
injunction was that he did not think
the proper course had been taken to
effect sucn a step. The books of the
company were not audited, inventory
was not taken, nothing, in fact, had
been done to make the way toward a
dissolution of the injunction feasible
or to enlighten the court ON the actual
standing of the concern. The court
decided that to take any summary
measure then would be very unfair
to all the stockholders, and particular
ly to the largest creditor, the Scovill
company. Unless, then, the Mat
thews & Willard Co discharges it's
constantly increasing obligations to the
Scovill company, the motion to dis
solve the injunction will be repeated,
but by that time the books will be
audited and no obstacle viii be left
in the way of the court to grant the
motion. Regarding the delay in pay
day, it was caused by Monday being
Labor day, a holiday.
