perately to the pistol, but his assailant
kicked his hand away. Standing over
the PROSTATE man Casteel deliberately
fired a shot into his victims back.
Then he snapped the weapon, once
more, but it missed fire. third shot
struck the floor.
At the sound of the bell Miss Meyer
started to go to the office. She stoodTon
the threshold as the first shot was
fired. For a moment she remained,
stunned by fright, and saw Casteel f1re
the second time at her employer. Then
she fed screaming.
Calmly putting the pistol into his
pocket, Casteel brushed through
crowd of terrified students who hur-
ried TO the office. He left his victim
staggering against a wall. Mrs. Dur
ham. the wife of the wounded man
assisted him to a couch, after which
he was hurried to the Lane Hospital,
where he lies close to death.
With the pace and demeanor of
citizen travelling on an every day af-
fair, Casteel proceeded to the city
Hall. He walked into the Sheriff's Of
flee shortly after he had committed the
deed and gave himself up to Under
Sheriff Hines. Casteel said he had
shot Durham as the result OF financial
troubles. Casteel said Durham had
drawn the weapon and in the scuffie
two shcts were discharged. Casteei
said he did not know how many addi-
tional shots he had fired. but investi-
CATION disclosed that four cartridges
were empty. Casteel was allowed to
telephone to his attorney, Franklin X:
Lane, after he had turned the pistol
over to Hines, who then took him
down TO the Hall of Justice and de-
livered him over to the police.
CasteeI retains his comDosure, and
with cool politeness refuses to make
any statement or to deny anything said
by the wounded man. His attorney is
equally reticent Neither client nor
lawyer would throw any light on the
financial transactions that led TO the
shooting.
Durham fully believed his condition
to be precarious and made a dying
statement to Assistant District Attrr-
ney Ferrari. He said in substance:
Y. w. CasteeI came to my office to-day to
see me about some money claims. He de-
rnanded $500. which was part OF $500 paid 70
me for stock. told him / could not pay the
money for some time, as business was dull.
He rose from his seat and drew revolver

Casteel is held at the City Prison

Impossible of Compliance

WASHINGTON, June ia Sc
rious hitch has occurred in the ne
gotiations for the release of Perdi-
caris and Varley, the American and
Englishman captured in Tangier by
the bandit Raissouli. The details as
communicated to the State Depart
ment by Consul General Gummere
indicate that Raissouli has vastly en-
larged his original demands. I:c now
insists upon absolute control OF no
less than four Moorish provinces, and
besides demands that no less than
three nations, including the United
States, guarantee the absolute per-
formance of the Sultan's promise. The
demands are regarded as absolutely
impossible of compliance here, not
withstanding what effect the refusal
may have upon the fate Of the cap
tiyes.
PARIS. June 15.-The French
Minister at Tangier telegraphs under
to-day's date that one of the Sherihan
chiefs, who is kinsrnan of Rafssouli,
has been designated in the place of

representative of the Sultan, to carry
on the negotiations for the release OF
Perdicaris and Varley.
