William Pollworth Perhaps Fat
ally Wounds Man and Then
Defies Angry Citizens
HAD GRuDGE AGAINST VICTIM
Bartlett, Ills, the Scene of tho Tragedy
--PolIworth, Who is Only Twenty
Years Old, Is Believed to Be Mentally
Unbalanced - Shot Brother Once
Over Trivial Matter.

Chicago Nov. 1S.--After he had
shot and probably fatally wounded
Conrad Baxman, in the yard of the lat
ter's home at Bartlett, ILL.,. yesterday,
William Pollworth, 20 years old. barri-
caded himself in the home of his moth
or. q short distance from his victims
place of business and for several hours
defled Il score of citizens who mad sur
rounded the Pollworth house In an
effort to capture the youth. Pollworth
used a shot gun and n revolver to keep
the crowd from forcing an entrance
to the house. All sorts of schemes were
resortei to to reach Pollworth but
each attempt was futile rs the youth
threatened to shoot anyone who came
within II hundred yards of the place.
1t was not until Sheriff Barrett Of
Cook county had been asked for aid
and had sent fifteen deputy sherlffs to
Bartlett that Pollworth threw away his
weapons and surrendered to the local
authorities.
Baxman. who owns general store,
in the village OF Bartlett. said last night
that the only explanation he could Of
fer for tho shooting was that several
years ago he had informed Pollworth's
mother of some boyish trick the youth
had been Implicated In, and that since
that time Pollworth had held deep
hatred for him.
Baxman WIS shot while returning
home for dinner. He had just entered
the yard surrounding his house, when
Pollworth suddenly confronted him
with shotgun and without a word of
warning pulled the trigger twice. Both
shots took effect and Baxman fell to
the ground unconscious. The shots at
tracted crowd of citizens, but Poll
worth had disappeared, and 1t was not
until Baxman had been restored to con-
seriousness that It was known who had
fired the shots. The angry citizens
then ran to the home of Pollworth, but
as they neared the place they were
brought to II sudden stop by the youth
who stood In window armed with n
shotgun and pistol, and declared he
would shoot anyone who attempted to
modest him. All sorts of arguments
were offered by the citizens to Poll
worth to surrender. but all were un-
needed and he succeeded in keeping the
crowd away from the house. until he
saw the deputy sheriffs approaching
from the railroad station. Realizing
that further resistance was useless
Pollworth threw down his weapons and
gave himself UP.
Pollworth is believed to be mentally
unbalanced. A year ago he was sent
to the bridewell for year on charge
of shooting his brother Henry. The
brother was shot over q trivial matter.
