MANS DEATH
George w. Classen Found in
Pool of Blood With Bullet
Wound Through His Brain
REVOLVER BY HIS SIDE
Detectives Unable to Find
Tangible Evidence That
Murder Was Committed

George W. Classen's dead body was
found yesterday afternoon lying in a
pool Of blood in Francis NJ. Smith &
Co.'S boiler works, at the corner Of
Eighth and Townsend streets. There
we're two bullet wounds in the head,
one where the missile had entered and
the other where il had passed out.
Near the body was found a Colts .SS
calber revolver. one of the cham nbers
had been discharged. In the pockets
Of the dead man were found the case
for a bank book OF the German Saw
ings and Loan Society. but the book
itself was missing; coin amounting TO
S26: cards of membership in the Boiler
makers Union and the Order of Her
mann Sons; thirteen cartridges TO
the revolver and some correspondence
with Curtin & Co. with reference TO
the collection by them from man
named Dannebaum Of certain monthly
payments due from Dannebaum to
Classen. averaging s. per month. A
late note from Curtin stated that
Dannebaum was unable to make his
regular payment, but would make
double payment on the month follow
ing
Deputy Coroner Michael Brown and
Special Deputy David Ahern made an
investigation Of the case and reported
that Classen had killed himself. The
police detective detailed on the matter
made a similar report.
From Otto Dauscher, the foreman, ii
was learned that Classen left the
works for lunch at Has a m and re-
turned at 1:3D p. N. in his street clothes,
his working clothes having been left
in his room at 452 Natoma street. Al
though IL was evident that Classen had
not returned with the intention Of re-
Stunning work, the foreman said moth
ing TO him nor he to the foreman. A
quarter or a half hour later Classen's
dead body was found. Owing to the
constant noise Of hammering in the
place, the report Of the pistol was not
heard.
r p. Evans, who worked alongside
Of Clsssen In ths forenoon, said that
Classen appeared 10 be somewhat ner-
vous and cut his finger, but he did not
observe anything else unusual about
him.
The bullet entered rather high on the
head. several inches above the right
ear. and made its exit on the left side,
the range Of the bullet holes being
forward. There was a hole in his hat
made by the ball. and there were
blood stains on it. The battered bullet
was found. lodged in the partition

Kelly was greeted with cheers, which
a rap from the anvil quieted. Kelly
then said:

wIELDs CLAW HAMMER.

Chairman Hickey raped for order at
S:15 o'clock-and such a rap. His gavel
was an overweight claw hammer, and
the face of the table held a large and
ragged piece Of some abandoned steam
boiler. The effect of the first blow was
CHASTITY. The .clang split the ears of the
eXpectant Bourbons and cleaned the
fight out of their systems as If they had
been shot. Chairman Hickey's order
that all take their seats as assigned
was meekly Obeyed, all seeming to be
anxious to avoid further bombardment
from the claw hammer and gong.

addressing the secretary. A moment
of suspense followed this order, as it
had been announced that on this point
the opposing forces would open the bat

There are 157 delegates present.

was concluded This number consti-

the first question before this conven-

Gavin McNab organized the Demo-
cratic local convention at the Alham-
bra Theater last evening. Former Sen
ator J. c. Sims, the candidate of the or
ganization, received 9O1a votes for
chairman and was subsequently elected
by acclamation. His opponent, Charles
j. Heggerty, as the representative Of
the Horse and Cart faction, obtained
76& votes. Mr.. Heggerty would have
made a record of an even n votes if
Livingston jerks had thrown his one
fourth of, a whole vote to the hard
pressed column of the defeated but
dauntless James H. O'Brien, but Dele
gate jerks at the critical moment de-
clined to lend his support to either fac
tion of the party.
There was no fighting to excite the
multitude of spectators. There was no
uproar or tumult TO inspire the Demo-
cratic legions with hopes of victory.
The entire proceeding was monoton-
ously peaceful. A detachment of police
strong enough to quell riot was at the
disposal of Thomas w Hickey, chair
man Of the Democratic City and Coun-
ty Committee. but the arm of the law
was not needed to preserve order. Men
who had Travelled many miles to see an
old-t time Democratic rough-house, went
nome disappointed and detected. The
opposition 10 McNab had just look in,
and is out of business again. The carts
are parked and the horses have gone

McNab the delegates will assemble
again, and whoever may be slated by
McNab for nomination will be a nomi-
nee of the convention. Gavin McNab
was present last night and remarked at
the finish that the Horses and Carts
