Conductor Shoots, and Bullets Find
Billets.

San Francisco, Oct. 20.-As a re-
suit of trouble over transfer slip
on Polk street car of the United
Railroads system Saturday evening,
one man was shot and killed, another
SO seriously wounded that death will
probably ensue, and two other men
less severely injured. The slain man
was Charles Moss, aged "a years, a
hodcarrier by occupation. Otto P.
Enerwein was shot through the neck
and left eye and will probably die.
John Monger, hodcarrier, was shot
through the left hand.
Bernard Goldstein was shot through
the right leg; Joseph Steffens will
probably lose the sight of his left eye,
which was filed with shattered glass.
The conductor of the car, E. H.
Brown, and the motorman, E. A. Pur-
cell, are at the city prison and will
be charged with murder. The con-
ductOr did the shooting.
During the quarrel over the trans
fer slip, some one threw off the trolley
pole and the car came to standstill.
The stoppage of the car, coupled with
noise in the rear, led MOtorman Pur-
cell to believe that his mate was in
danger and, revolver in hand, he
pushed his way through the crowded
passengers. Women and children
were thrown into panic and a mad
rush was made to escape. Women
trampled upon children, and windows
were broken by the affrighted passen-
gers, whose hysteria and fears were
increased when the shooting began

In the arrest of two men at the in
stigation of Raymond Hitchcock, star

the trail of an extensive Matchmaking
scheme. The men gave the names of
Hugo c. Voecks, aged FL, Third ave-
nue. bartender, and Frank o. Thorn
berg, aged 10, second assistant paying
teller in the Bank of the Metropolis.
For eight months Hitchcock and his
wife, Flora Zabelle, have received let
tiers threatening to involve Hitchcock
in scandal unless he gave up money.

tontion to the stories in the papers and
said that unless he was given $1,000
at once he would expose Hitchcock.
Hitchcock said he did not have the
money with him, but gave him three
rings worth $500 as security and ar
ranged to meet the man at 1 O'Clock
the following day, redeem the rings
and give him $1,000.
Hitchcock consulted detectives and
with Kirby met Voecks at the hour
agreed on, rendering him $1,000 bill
demanding the rings in return. Voecks
did not have the rings with him and
refused the $1,000 bill. He demanded
$500 more, making $4,000 in all, AMI
insisted the amount be paid in small
bills.
| Hitchcock made another appoint
ment with VOecks. Two detectives
were hidden in his dressing room
When Voecks appeared, Hitchcock
handed him $1,000 in small bills ant
his personal note for $500 more
Voecks still claimed he did not have
the rings. The detectives then stepped
out and arrested Voecks. He con
fessed and declared that he was trying
to get the money to educate his young
sister, Voecks also confessed tha
Thornberg had the actors ring and the
