BRUTAL MURDER
Of HUTCHINSON
Spokane Citizens Aroused and
a Cleanup of the City
Likely to Result.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 16.-Daylight
brings fresh evidence that last nights
brutal murder of Secretary Reno
Hutchinson of the Spokane Y. NJ. c. A
was the crime of a footpad, not the
work of a personal enemy, as was sus-
pected at first. The footprints of the
murderer were plainly seen on Post
master Hartsons lawn this morning.
and were traced for nearly two blocks,
the impress of a No. heavy hobnailed
shoe leading across lots toward the
center of the city, passing close to the
house where Merchant ]. L. Sloane was
murdered by his son a few weeks ago,
and disappearing about Sixth avenue.
Theory of the Murder.
The theory advanced today is that
while Secretary Hutchinson was going
to Y. NJ G.. A. meeting, about s
o'clock last evening, he was confronted
by a footpad in front of ex-senator
George Turner's home. Instead of put
ting up his hands, it is believed,
Hutchinson once a trained athlete,
struck at the robber. but missed and
whirled partly around with the force
of the blow. The robber fired, the bull
let entering Hutchinson's back and
passing clear through the body, being
into the yard of Postmaster Harrison.
dying about fifteen minutes later. The
only words he was heard to say were
1--WE been shot; I've been shot; I've
been shot
The robber fled towards the city,
and at about the same time another
man was seen running east on Seventh
avenue-supposed to be the partner If
the murderer.
Hutchinson an Athlete.
Reno Hutchinson took up his work
as secretary of Spokane Y. NJ. G. A. in
August last, having been previously
employed for five years as director OF
religious work at Portland Y. NJ. c. A
He was a graduate of the University
of California, where he was once "a
nous as an end on the football team
later being business manager OF the
athletic association. An injury re-
ceived in a football game caused one
leg TO be lame, and this may have pre-
vented the last blow he struck from
saving his life.
For several weeks Spokane ha:
shared with other coast cities in al
epidemic of burglaries, holdups ant
thefts of many kinds. This last crime
has aroused the citizens and a genera
