FATAL TRAGEDY
IN SEATTLE

Seattle, Wash. July 11.-Murder in
the first degree will be the charge
against Chester Thompson 20 year old
son twill FL. Thompson of this city,
who shot Judge G. Meade Emory tc
death at his home Saturday night.
Sunday it was discovered that one bull
let from young Thompson's revolver
went clear through the body from left
to right, entering few inches below
the armpit and perforating both lungs
Judge Emory literally bled to death
from this wound, his physicians being
unable to stop the hemorrhages, which
were both internal and external and
very severe. Judge Emory gave to his
former law partner, Daniel Kelleher,
a complete statement of the events
prior to the shooting.
Saturday evening about dinner time,
Chester Thompson called up my home
by telephone and talked to Charlotte
Wittlesey, my niece, with whom he
was desperately in love. He asked per
mission to call ON Charlotte. She told
him she could not see him as she was
going out for the evening. Moreover,
she had told Chester she did not wish
his attentions. Some little time later
Chester again called up my home. This
time, at Charlotte's request. an
swered the telephone and taxed with
the boy. l told him that Charlotte did
not wish to him come to the house
again, nor did 1 wish HIM to continue
his attentions. he replied:
tOh no Won do not xroDk 49, -
come to see her, chr"
"This was in tone of voice indicat-
ing bitter hostility to me. That ended
the conversation. An hour later Ches-
ter came running up the steps to our
house. He entered the hall, passing
Mr.. and Mrs. Keith, my wife and my
self on the porch. Instantly l jumped
to my feet and followed him. Then
he turned and shot me down"
1t is clear when Thompson entered
the house of Judge Emory it was for
the purpose of begging Charlotte Whit
tlesey OF make up with him and posi-
bly, TO kill her and then himself if she
refused. The plea of the defense will
be insanity. based upon the mad infat-
uation of the accused youth for Char
lotte Whittlesey and aslo ON his eccen-
trio actions during the past two years.
Mrs. Thompson, mother of the muir
derer, is slowly dying, and any shock
would result in her immediate death.
She scarcely notes the going and COM
ing of her family. Life holds but an
other month for her, and strenuous eff
forts are being made to keep the news
of Chester's crime from her. The son
was cratic, scarcely home for meals
because he was health food advocate
and his family are meat eaters, and be-
cause he sought the solitude of the
woods. For this reason Mrs. Thompson
will not miss his absence.

lowANs HATE TO GIVE UP PASS.
viii Resign Positions Rather than
Forego Them.

Iowa is having a strange experience
with her antipass law, which went
into effect July 4. The law forbids
the acceptance of free passes by all
public officials and delegates to politi-
cal conventions. The result is that
public officials and delegates to con-
ventions are threatening to resign
their positions by the score all over
the state. They announce that the
pass is of more value to them than the
office and emoluments thereof. The
mayor of Tama, one of the largest
towns on the Northwestern road, has
resigned. This will necessitate calling
a special election at considerable
cost to taxpayers.

It is gratifying to record that her
successes have been identical not with
one section of this vast country alone,
but with nearly every part of it. Many
of our native artists visit America at
such distant intervals that they be-
come merely names. Madame Nor

Maine to Texas
In foreign countries she has sus-
tanned her artistic journeys from Lon
