FORMER BERKELEY ATHLETE
KILLED BY HIGHWAYMAN
IN SPOKANE.
Was Secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association and Was
Prominent i'm Athletics

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 17.-Reno
Hutchinson, secretary of the local
Y.M. c. A., was murdered BY high
wayman last evening. He was well
known on the Coast, having been
graduated from the University Of
California at Berkeley, where he was
6 prominent football player and Y.
NJ. c. A. worker.
It was suspected that the murder
may have been done by a personal
enemy, but it is now conceded that it
was the crime of footpad. The foot
prints of the murderer were plainly
seen on Postmaster Hartson's lawn
in the morning and were traced for
nearly two blocks, the impress of a
No. s heavy hobnailed shoe leading
across lots toward the center of the
city, and disappearing about Sixth
avenue.
The theory advanced is that while
Secretary Hutchinson was going to
Y. NJ. c. A. meeting about o'clock
last evening he was confronted by
footpad in front of ex-senator George
Turner's home. Instead of putting
up his hands it is believed Hutchin-
son, once a trained athlete, struck at
the robber, but missed and whirled
partly around with the force of the
blow. The robber fred, the bullet
entering Hutchinson's back and pass
ing clear through the body, being
found in the clothing. Hutchison fell
into the yard of Postmaster Harrison,
dying about fifteen minutes later.
The only words he was heard to say
were: i've been shot; I've been
shot"
The robber fed toward the city
and later another man was seen run
ming east on Seventh avenue--sup-
posed to be the partner of the muir
derer.
Reno Hutchinson took up his work
as secretary of the Spokane Y. NJ. C.
A. in August last, having been pre-
viously employed for five years as
director of religious work at Port
land Y. NJ. C. A.. He was a graduate
of the University of California, where
he was once famous as an end or
the football. team. later being busi-
ness manager of the athletic associa-
tion. An injury received in foot
ball game caused one leg to be lame,
and this me have prevented the last
blow lie strIck from saving his life.
For sevel Il weeks Spokane has
shared with other coast cities in an
epidemic OF burglaries, hold-ups
and thefts Of many kinds. This last
crime has aroused the citizens and
a general cleanup of the city will
result.

Ter Is member OF an old and
wealthy New York family and de-
scendant OF the original Astors. He
has about $1.OO0,OO0 in his own
right. A number Of years ago he was
incarcerated In the Bloomingdale
asylum, New York, as a lunatic.
After four years OF confinement he
escaped under most sensational cir
cumstances and disappeared. Finally
he reappeared suddenly in Albemarle
county, West Virginia, where he had
married Miss Riyes, author Of the
Quick and the Dead" from whom
he was afterward divorced. She is
now Princess Troubetsky.
Chanler is a lawyer and has de-
voted himself during the last Ave
years to acquiring a wonderful fund
Of information and precedent on the
lunacy laws OF the world He has
given special attention to those OF
New York.
Chanler Is In the extraordinary
and probably Unprecedented position
OF being socially and legally lunatic

citizens, including several of his own
near relatives, have been guilty OF
nat perjury
Chambers book and his renewed
personal activity are taken to mean
that after long preparation. he has
enlisted for strenuous warfare
against the lunacy laws OF New York,
but more especially against members
of his own family and others who
were instrumental In having him de
