| Austin, Texas. June 30. Frenzied by
 supposed wrongs. w. q. Hill. q former attache of the state comptroller's office entered the private office of State Comp troller R. M. Love to-day and killed him by means of two well-directed bullets l from a revolver. AS Hill turned to flee he was intercepted by Chief Clerk Stew ems, of the department, and ir the scs;s- l fe which followed Hills revolver was exploded. The bullet entered Hills ab- domen, causing wound from which he died three hours after the death of the man whom he had killed. The cause of the shooting no one can explain, other than that 1t was the act of a madman. Hill had been an em- ploye of the comptroHer's office for ten years preceding MT. Loves term of of fee. He was discharged by MT. Love when the latter took charge. and it is presumed that this fact preyed on his mind until he went insane. This morn ing he went to the capitol entered MT Loves private office, spoke to him cheerfully, shook hands and, handing him a letter to read, sat down at the invitation of the comptroller. As soon as the comptroller began to read the letter Hill sprang to his feet and fired two shots at him, one taking effect just above and the other immediately below the heart. MT. Love scheamed, droppedl the letter and sprang forward, then gasped and fell.
 Hill ran toward the door but was in tercepted by Chief Clerk Stevens. In a desperate struggle Hill's pistol was ac- cidentally discharged the bullet enter ing his abdomen. He was taken at once to a hospital, where he died
 Love died within an hour after the shooting.
 The letter that Hill gave to Love read as follows:
 State comptroller:
 Dear sir. Public office is public l trust. Public officers are created for the service of the people and not for the aggrandizement of few individu- als. The practice of bartering depart- ment clerkships for private gain is disgrace to the public service, and in this nefarious traffic you are a record breaker.
 You have robbed the state employees and your incompetent administration has prompted others to rob the state.
 "The man who. claiming to be a | Christian, deprives others of employ ment without cause, is a base hypocrite and 2 tyrant.
 The greatest mind that ever gave it's wisdom to the world: the mind of all { others most capable of umpiring the mutiny between right and wrong said ! you take my life whsn you do take from me the means by which live.
 .sIs that be true. you are a murderer of the deepest crime Although I can- not help myself, before laying life's bur- dens down, shall strike a blow wfeeble | though it he-for the good of my deserv- Ing fellow men,
 .F'or the right against the wrong;
 For the weak against the strong
 Yours truly.
 Signed: wv. G Hill"
