Doctor Who Had Just Left.
Pretty Rose Muller MysterIousIy
Wounded In New York Inhrmary,
No Trace of AssaiIant.

Rose Muller, a nurse, was mysteriously
shot to-day.
one OF the physicians occupied the same
chair only few minutes before, and the
police are working on the theory that the
bullet may have been intended for him.
On hearing the victims screams. Miss
Cadmus. the superintendent, and several
nurses and physicians ran to the Office
and found Miss Muller almost uncon-
seious from bullet in her right arm.
The victim was rushed TO the operating
room and the X-ray was used to Iocate
the bullet. 1t was EMBEDDED so deeply In
the arm that the surgeons decided not to
operate.
The two windows in the Office were
covered by wire screens and an examina-
ton Of the screens failed to show that a
bullet had passed through either Of them.
There was nothing to show that the
bullets had come from outside the build
ing.
No one was found who had seen any
stranger leave the hospital after the
shooting
Miss Muller, on regaining her senses,
said she had no idea who fired the shot.
All she remembers is that she felt a sharp
sting in her arm
Her home is on Jersey street, New
Brighton, only a short distance from the
hospital. She is eighteen years old.

Boise. Idaho, July 23.-Lawyer E. F.
Richardson brought his two-day argu-
ment in defense Of William D. Haywood
TO a close at $50 o'clock tonight with
a fierce denunciation of Harry Orchard
and James MCFARLAND. the detective He
declared that the theory that religion
actuated Orchard in making his con-
fession was absurd
He further asserted that Orchard had
been promised immunity for his confes-
sion, though the latter had denied it.
Mr. Richardson's voice was nearly gone
when he faced the jury for the last time
tonight but he grew eloquent as he told
how the vultures (Pinkertons) and the
hell-hounds of capital had been steadily
at work eyer since the Steunenberg mur-
der. He seemed 20 think that the offer Of
a large reward for the capture of the
murderer was an argument calculated 10
back that theory
Would Have Orchard in Jail.
1t has all along worried the defense a
good deal that Harry Orchard has been
incarcerated in the penitentiary and not
been in jail, and Mr.. Richardson took
this chance to denOunce the State officials
for this action, which appeared in Orch
ards confession.
That brought him to MCFARLAND. The
detective was denounced. and the speaker
practically declared that the MolHe Ma
guire Outrages, IN suppressing which Nc
Parland won his spurs. were really insti-
gated by Mcfarland himself. Then the
lawyer waded into the detective for fur-
ther orders. Said he:
Mr.. HawIey, in his opening. promised
you that this terror to evil-doers would
be put on the stand. Now. where is this
terror to evil-dOers? Did he go on the
stand? He did not.
only once has this terror 10 evil
doors darkened the doors of this court
room since this trial began, and that was
after the evidence was all in. and he
thought he was coming to hear an eulocv
pronounced upon him by Mr. Hawley. I
wish he was here to hear the eulogy that
am about TO pronounce upon him."
There was a burst of laughter az this.
and one man started to clap his hands.
but the noise was sternly suppressed by
the sheriff. and II did not break out
again. Richardson then proceeded TO de-
nounce the PinkeTtons at some length.
