asked them to help her get her daughter
out of winroom of saloon ct Fifth

While the mother was talking to Cantil-

Cantillon has known Bartel for the last
seven years, and he decided TO ask him
to go away and send the daughter home
with her mother, he says Linett ac-
companied Cantillon. AS Cantillon ad-
dressed BarteI the latter Is said to have
shouted: You are going to try to two
time me!' and drew q revolver
CantillOn says that then Linett grappled
with Bartel and that Lnett was thrown
down on the sidewalk.
Cantillon stated that the shot was fired
while I.inett was falling.
A private Waterman, who was across
the street at the time. says that Iinett
had been thrown to the ground and that
he was rising on his elbows when Bartel
stood over him and fired. Cantillon was
thrown into the street in the scuff1e which
followed. and both he and I.inett ran a
block. where Linett fell unconscious He
died an hour later.
Bartel with Miss Coates walked to the
saloon where he was employed. He was
arrested there half an hour later by Po-

Bartel said at the police station that he
thought that the two men were going to
rob him, as he had slo0 ON his person.
At the inquest Mrs. Etchman at first
denied that she requested the Young men
to accompany her and help her get her
daughter from the wineroom. She later
admitted that she spoke to them about her
troubles and that she cried
She and her daughter said that Cantil-
Ion and Ltnett were the aggressors and
that Bartel was down when he drew his
revolver. Neither saw the shot fired.
